After that, Lin spoke a few words before she left the office and went for her class. Chen couldn't even ask for kisses from Lin before she left. He had been grabbed hold of by Li to take pictures with him. Finally, he managed to escape from Li. Unfortunately, he was stopped by another person after he moved a few steps.
"Chen Xiaobei! Come here now!" Xiaoyao shouted.
"My dear secretary! Your attitude is not right! You need to call me your chairman!" Chen pursed his lips and said.
"How dare you call me your secretary? Are you looking for some beating?!" Xiaoyao lifted up her punch and got ready to beat up Chen.
"Pssst…It's not like you can win me in the combat!" Chen laughed mockingly. He wasn't afraid of Xiaoyao at all.
"You…You really piss me off…" Xiaoyao's face turned red pretty quick. The fight last time had damaged her pride. Chen just sprinkled salt on her wound.
"Call me your chairman! If not, I will leave right now!" Chen laughed evilly.
"You…Mr. Chairman!" Xiaoyao gritted her teeth but she chose to obey Chen in the end. Well, she needed Chen to do something for her, thus the obedience.
"Nice! My secretary is such an obedient girl!"
Chen nodded satisfyingly and continued to say mockingly, "Spill it. What do you want me to do?" Luo rolled her eyes at Chen. All she wanted to do right now is to jump at Chen and beat the hell out of him!
Then, she took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress her anger. She asked in a deep voice, "How're the things that I asked you to prepare earlier?"
"Erm…Regarding this matter…Almost there…" Chen answered hesitantly. He had been pretty busy recently. Matters, like saving Lan and closing down the colosseum, had made him forget about the things that he promised Xiaoyao earlier.
"Almost is good…I'm going to warn you now, you will be killed by me if you screw up the charity performance tomorrow!" Xiaoyao said seriously.
"That's not right! I remember you telling me that as long as I don't make a fool of myself, I can just do my stuff on the stage! Why are you asking me to perform something that is out of this world now?!" Chen had a hard time fulfilling Xiaoyao's demands.
"I don't care! I want something out of this world! If not, you will definitely make a fool of yourself on the stage! And, I will be embarrassed you as well!" Xiaoyao was getting more and more serious.
"Erm…After all, I'm the president of this charity foundation! I have donated thirty million! I don't think I can make a fool of myself on the stage!" Chen said.
"Well, I have warned you! Think of something good for the stage if you want to leave a good impression on everyone! I need to leave first! I have something to deal with!" Chen pursed her lips and walked away from Chen.
"F*ck…This is making my life difficult!" Chen was speechless. He had now acquired a plethora of awesome skills, but none of them can be used to perform on the stage!
"Damn! I will not allow this happen to me! I'm always the one that embarrasses others! Others are not allowed to embarrass me!" Chen's inner thoughts started to crawl all over his mind.
"I'm going to go back to learn something from the internet now! I will come up with something that would make everyone's jaws drop!" Chen made up his mind and headed home immediately. He always thought that performing on stage would be something really simple. After some research, he found out that performing on the stage was not as easy as he thought.
For singing, one needs to be a fast learner and have a pinch of talent. It's really hard to manipulate the voice once the voice is set in stone. Signing on the stage and Karaoke are entirely different things.
No more singing!
On the other hand, Chen felt that dancing is the thing that a real man will do. Also, things like costumes, dancing partners, lightings, stage and sound effects needed a long time to get done. It's impossible to have everything done in a day.
No more dancing!
How about playing some musical instrument? Nope! I need a good musical instrument to come out with the best performance! Also, it's not that easy to get my hands on a fine piece of musical instrument! Those people that attend the charity dinner are all from the upper-class society! They will fill offended if they found out I'm using some kind of low-quality musical instrument!
No more playing a musical instrument!
"Shit!!! It's only a performance! Why am I scratching my head so hard!"
It was already six in the evening and Chen hadn't even thought of a single viable performance. He decided to have his dinner first after his mom called him a few times. However, he lost all his appetite once he thought about how he is going to embarrass himself on the stage. He took a few mouthfuls of rice and went back up to his room.
"Damn it! I will not surrender to this simple task! I will definitely figure out something tonight! I'm not a coward! I will not back out!" Chen steeled himself.
Ding!
Message from the Red Envelope Group!
"Shit! I forgot about the mysterious competition!"
Chen tapped on his own head and thought.
He was placed in a state of dilemma right now. It's impossible to do two things at the same time. He will be embarrassed himself if he doesn't take out the time to prepare for the performance. But, he couldn't resist the temptation of the reward of the mysterious match!
"I don't care! I will figure out the performance later!" Chen gritted and open the group chat immediately.
NeZha: Wow! God Chen is finally here! Our singing battle can finally begin! (Excited)
Chen: The battle of singing? How does this work? (Shocked)
God Xianle: Good question! God Chen! It's not like you can beat up others to win the competition when it comes to physical combat! Thus, we will select the winner based on the votes from the audience! The guy with the most votes will be the biggest winner!
Chen: Okay! Fair enough…How am I going to perform since I'm not present?
God Xianle: Don't worry! Just record your voice message with your singing in it! We are all doing the same thing here! You can participate in this competition from wherever you are!
"Haha! Voice messages! Nice!" Chen was all lighted up. He even rubbed his hands and smiled evilly.
Chen: I don't have any further questions! (Smile)
God Xianle: Okay! Now, the singing competition starts now!
