Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil - Chapter 58

Chapter 58

The original 50 million-dollar investment was increased by 80 million . Plus, with sound, lighting, choreography, security and other expenses, the final cost would be more than 150 million . But, Huanya Entertainment Group’s top brass didn’t issue the slightest opposition to this . Firstly, Ou Zinan had true talent, enough to shut anyone up, and secondly, no one dared to defy Sun Xi Mu’s dignity .

Sun Xi Mu’s new hobby was to visit Huanya Group every day after work . Even if the drive was more than an hour, he didn’t find it troublesome . He was standing outside the recording studio, gazing across the window at the young man who was practicing his music, his expression was unprecedentedly focused and gentle .

The last song was simply perfect . Qin Taihe stood up and applauded, then the guitarist, bassist, drummer, sound engineer … … their initial apathy had eventually transformed into admiration . They had completely recognized the young man’s talents .

“You did so well . ” Qin Taihe hugged the man after he walked out of the studio and exclaimed, “Compared to your version, Ge Mengshu’s ‘Because Of You’ is a piece of crap . ”

The young man smiled shyly, his peach eyes were bright and dazzling .

Sun Xi Mu’s lips tilted, he strode up to the two and handed Zhou Yun Sheng a cup of warm milk, he slowly opened, “The concert is in three days . This is enough practice, take a rest . ”

Zhou Yun Sheng drank the cup of milk and obediently nodded .

Sun Xi Mu’s face slightly softened . “There’s a banquet tonight . I’ll bring you to it so you can relax and meet some people . ”

So I can make some contacts for the future? Zhou Yun Sheng quickly exposed a grateful look, nodded and said his thanks .

They changed their clothes and drove to a five-star hotel . The banquet organizers personally greeted them, their words and deeds were very attentive .

“Go eat something, no alcohol . ” Sun Xi Mu had his arm around the young man, the intimate gesture was eye-catching . Everyone knew that Sun Xi Mu was a cold and serious neat freak . Forget about handshakes and hugs, he even hated it if anyone stood too close to him .

It was unprecedented that he would hold someone so closely, even his eyes were unusually warm .

Although they only knew each other for a short time, Sun Xi Mu instinctually knew all of Zhou Yun Sheng’s hobbies and habits . He knows that he likes milk and hated green peppers . He knows that he loves high-tech electronics . He even knows that he loved to drink wine, but he loses his inhibitions when he gets drunk … … he knew too many things that he shouldn’t know . This made Zhou Yun Sheng almost certain that he was his lover that had no name but would never disappear .

So, he never refuses Sun Xi Mu’s intimate acts, in fact, he accepted them like it was his right .

“What do you want to eat, I’ll get it for you . ” Zhou Yun Sheng tugged on the taller man’s clothes .

“I’ll eat whatever you bring . Go ahead, Qin Taihe said you haven’t eaten dinner yet . ” Sun Xi Mu was surrounded by several business partners, he couldn’t escape the circle so he had to let the young man leave by himself .

Zhou Yun Sheng nodded and pushed through the crowd to the eating area, then he started picking out his favorite foods .

“… . Zinan, you’re here?” A pretty girl approached him, her expression stunned .

The girl was named Guo Ai Ni, she was Times Records’ new talent, and was also once Ou Zinan’s secret crush . Guo Ai Ni knew that he’d loved her, but she’d pretended not to notice, yet she still had tried to use his relationship with Lin Siqing to move upwards .

But it seemed to be a coincidence that the two met here .

Zhou Yun Sheng glanced at her, then he continued to fill his plate .

“Zinan, how do you know Chief Sun? Are you guys close?” The girl’s eyes sparkled with greed .

Zhou Yun Sheng ignored her, walked to a table and sat down to eat .

The girl was persistent, she followed him and gave him a flirtatious smile, “Zinan, how could you just ignore me? Anyway, I heard you’ll release evidence at the concert, is that true? That song was really written by you?”

Zhou Yun Sheng ate a bite of cake, then he wiped his mouth with a towel . He coldly opened, “Guo Ai Ni, you don’t have to try so hard to get news for Lin Siqing . Go back and tell him, ‘Ou Zinan will bury you so deep into the mud, you’ll never be able to escape . You’ll stay in there until you rot’ . ”

Strong hatred gushed out from the young man eyes, causing Guo Ai Ni to be scared silly . When the young man finished his food and wandered away, she quickly took out her phone and texted Ou Zinan’s message to Lin Siqing, verbatim .

Lin Siqing had repeatedly asked Ou Zinan if he had extra copies of the manuscript and Ou Zinan had trustingly told him no . That was the whole reason why he’d confidently allowed his broker to bring Ou Zinan to court . He’d always protected Ou Zinan, he was his most trusted friend in the world, Ou Zinan wouldn’t lie to him .

So, Lin Siqing scoffed at the threat, and also bluntly told his broker, “He thinks that climbing into Sun Xi Mu’s bed will reverse the situation, how naive . ”

The broker sneered, “Yes, he even has the guts to hold a concert and invite fifty thousand people . I hope he drowns in all their spit . ”

While the two were scorning away, Sun Xi Mu met Yun Zhiyuan and Ge Mengshu at the banquet .

“Has Chief Sun eaten yet? We were headed to the bar, come with us . ” Yun Zhiyuan gently smiled .

Sun Xi Mu didn’t even give him a glance, he walked straight toward the bar where Ou Zinan was having a drink .

“Chief Sun, no one knows Zinan better than me . No matter why you intend to help him, I have to warn you that you may encounter the first investment fiasco of your career . This fifty thousand people concert will be a grand farce . Instead of throwing all that investment into the water, you should withdraw your hand early . ” Yun Zhiyuan sincerely cautioned .

Ge Mengshu smiled and glanced at the back of Ou Zinan’s head, her eyes held ridicule and contempt .

Sun Xi Mu finally stopped, he turned to look at the two and slowly said, “Others sometimes call me the God of Investment… . I don’t hate this title . You’ll know exactly how much Ou Zinan is worth in three days, please look forward to it . ”

The two were frozen by his strong self-confidence and cold eyes, they stood in place for a good half-a-day . When they finally looked up again, the Chief was already by the youth’s side . He had one hand wrapped around the other man’s waist, and the other was reaching for the man’s glass . He took a sip from the glass, then whispered in the man’s ear, his lips seemingly unintentionally touched the young man’s black hair and white ear . The touch was very light .

His way of expressing his feelings was restrained and straightforward, but it couldn’t be ignored or resisted . Such a strong and cold man had softened so much in obvious love, it surprised many of the guests .


Ge Mengshu looked at Ou Zinan Nan deeply, her smile showed more contempt . Please look forward to it? Okay then . She’d patiently wait to see Ou Zinan burst into tears on stage .

Pssh . God of Investment, my ass!

Zhou Yun Sheng adjusted his body’s data again, so when the concert day arrived, the staff were all excited about his stamina .

He was now backstage getting dressed . He wore leather pants that hugged his slender legs and firm butt, his waist, neat abdominal muscles and beautiful mermaid line became the focus of the stylist’s envy .

Sun Xi Mu had rushed to the scene as soon as he’d finished his business negotiations .

“Nervous?” He expressionlessly draped the coat over the young man’s shoulder .

“Not nervous, actually, I’m excited . ” Zhou Yun Sheng looked up at him, his peach eyes were bright with anticipation, bright like the stars in the sky .

“That’s good . Go on, I’ll look after you from here . ” Sun Xi Mu suppressed the urge to kiss the young man’s eyes and pushed him toward the stage elevator .

Zhou Yun Sheng took off his coat, put on a fitted black shirt, and turned back to beam out a bright smile .

Outside, the crowd was slowly pouring in, surrounded by heavily armed police and security, and posters on the wall that said- Cameras are watching, please be civil everyone .

The violent anti-fans had no choice but to calm down, they only used their words to attack .

The staff who were distributing free fluorescent sticks were being rejected . The audience expressed that their enthusiasm would never light up for Ou Zinan .

“Take it anyway, even if you don’t light it, it’s also good for throwing at the stage . ” The staff joked .

Everyone was searched, so they had no projectile weapons . The people’s eyes immediately lit up when they heard this, and they rushed in for the light sticks, the scene was extraordinarily lively .

Half an hour later, the audience were all packed in, but they didn’t quiet down in anticipation for the music . They scolded, taunted, and screamed . Trying to bring down the concert .

The stage was behind schedule for show time, so it almost seemed like their maliciousness was successful .

But suddenly, a high-pitched sound resounded throughout the pavilion, followed by continuous drum beats and passionate electric guitar strumming colliding and igniting .

The stage instantly lit up, and Ou Zinan’s beautiful face appeared on the big screen . He sang with his eyes closed, there were no lyrics, only a warble of ‘Oh’ .  The extreme melody crashed into the audience’s eardrums, even the angriest anti-fan was quelled .

The sound grew louder and louder, causing the audience’s mood to boil . They’d forgotten they were supposed to be noisy, they just watched the big screen as the man’s voice rose, stunned .

From C2 to C, and even C3, C4, C5 . He continued rising, his eyes closed, as his high clear voice reached the climax, the background music was replaced by a more luxurious symphony of drums and electric guitars .

The audience was swept away with the change in music tide, like the sea under the moonlight, vastly boundless, but also like the stars in the sky, endless . Even if some people thought to cover their ears, the music penetrated into their brain, and they couldn’t resist indulging in the luxurious sounds .

After the song ended, the previous uproars had calmed down until a needle drop could be heard . The young man finally opened his eyes and looked out into the dark, he gasped, ” ‘Ou Zinan can’t sing’, that’s just a rumor . No matter why you came to watch my concert, I want to thank you for coming . I will use my strength to light up Star Pavilion . ”

Then, he didn’t give the anti-fans time to react, he immediately raised his ring finger to signal the band to play the next song . He wanted to destroy all their nerves, tear out their eardrums, and make this concert become their most unforgettable memory .
