Chapter 159 - : Taking a Drastic Measure to Solve a Problem (2/2)

Since you have a dream, then we can now talk things through!

Boss Pei was the best at helping others fulfill their dreams!

Pei Qian smiled slightly as he nodded, “You underestimate yourself too much. You don’t even know how good you are at singing! At your level, once you start singing, it would be like a lethal weapon. Do you know how many girls would love to hear you sing!

“Hence, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. In a bigger city, you would have better prospects. When you make it big and then return here to Jingzhou, you can prove to your classmates and friends that looked down on you; you will make them envious!”

Pei Qian’s words had their intended effect. He could see Chen Lei’s eyes shining with light.

An introverted person whose looks weren’t that outstanding, a ‘freak’ who had stopped school after high school; Chen Lei was someone who had had to endure pressure coming nonstop from all aspects of his life.

Whether it was his parents, classmates, or his classmate’s parents; they were probably always using Chen Lei as a bad example of what not to become.

So what if he was good at singing? In a second-tier city like Jingzhou, there was no suitable platform for him to showcase his talents.

Chen Lei was definitely someone who craved recognition.

Hence, hearing what Pei Qian had described, Chen Lei was evidently influenced and touched. He had long wanted to go to a big city and take a look, broaden his horizons, and try his luck in the vast world out there. He hoped that his talent could be recognized by more people in the future.

It seemed as if Boss Pei wanted to provide some material assistance?

Chen Lei’s only consideration now was money. As he earned so much commission here in the internet cafe and he had many fans, this was Chen Lei’s comfort zone. He didn’t want to get out of it.

When he reached Beijing or Shanghai—besides the fact that he had to restart in a foreign environment, Chen Lei would also not be able to afford accommodations and the cost of living in these places.

After all, he wouldn’t have an income anymore.

Hence, Pei Qian definitely must help Chen Lei to get rid of this last stumbling block so that he could go in peace.

Pei Qian considered for a while and said, “If you wish to head to a big city like Shanghai to pursue your music career and dreams, I can help you with that.

“Tengda’s Fei Huang Workspace is now based in Shanghai. I can transfer you to Fei Huang Workspace there, and you’d actually don’t have to do anything. They would help you arrange your food and accommodations, and you won’t actually have to work. You can relax and pursue your music dreams; what do you think of this plan?”

On one hand was his current enjoyable life; on the other was a new and distant place.

Chen Lei actually didn’t hesitate much. “Boss Pei, I… I am willing to go!”

…

The next day…

At night…

The crowd was considerable. However, everyone noticed that Chen Lei seemed to be a little troubled.

“Outside the pavilion / on the ancient road / the fresh grass so green stretches into the sky…

“To ask my friend when he will be back after we part ways this time…”

Chen Lei was as per normal, stringing each stanza together; he was engrossed in the song and didn’t utter any other words.

However, his fans in the audience could hear something was amiss in his singing.

“This is weird; why are all the songs tonight about farewells?”

“Indeed, I’m feeling a little down…”

“I’ll gift another two glasses of Northern Lights whiskey.”

“Speaking of which, why is the display panel gone?”

“I don’t know. However, it doesn’t affect me. I’m here mainly to support Chen Lei, not to posture.”

Everyone drank and continued to chatter idly like usual. However, for some reason, they felt the atmosphere today was not right.
