I took Guo Linlin to the Blue Opera House, and luckily there was no traffic jam on the way, so we arrived 20 minutes before the concert began.
At that time, there weren't many people in the lobby, just the musicians tuning their instruments on stage.
Guo Linlin was flabbergasted when I led her to our seats in the center of the first row. She had thought we would be sitting somewhere near the front, but didn't expect that I had actually managed to snag seats in the central area of the first row.
Taking advantage of the sparse crowd, I settled Guo Linlin in her seat and then went to find a staff member. Holding the ticket, I explained my intention, "This ticket entitles me to a photo op with the lead performer, Mr. Jia De'er. I wonder if Mr. Jia De'er has time right now?"
The staff member courteously asked me to wait outside the door and then headed backstage. Soon after, Mr. Jia De'er came out from backstage, following the staff member.
