Chapter 97: Making Sure He Can’t Hold a Concert

He Haoxuan shrugged and said, “No, when did I ever eat your meat? I didn’t even touch you.”
“I’m not talking about my meat, I mean the meat on the table,” Li Qingwan hurriedly explained.
“When did your meat end up on the table?” Haoxuan looked even more baffled.
“He Haoxuan, I’m telling you, if you keep talking nonsense, you’ll be the last eunuch of the year.” Seeing that Haoxuan had already eaten half of the two dishes they ordered later, Li Qingwan angrily pulled the plates in front of herself.
“He Haoxuan, I’m warning you, stop eating. Are you a pig?” Li Qingwan cursed.
With nothing left to eat, He Haoxuan leaned back in his chair, unconcerned.
Li Qingwan, still not full, continued eating.
When he saw her finish three bowls of rice, Haoxuan couldn’t help but nod secretly, “Li Qingwan, you really are something.”
“Of course! When have I ever been simple?” Li Qingwan raised her head proudly.
He Haoxuan shook his head helplessly, “Listen, Wang Zhisheng isn’t a good person. You don’t need to get involved with him.”
“A wise woman never goes back to the same grass. Don’t worry, I won’t make him my boyfriend again. But I want to have a bit of fun at school, and since he’s willing to be my toy, why would I let him go? Back then, he and Minnie bullied me; now it's my turn to bully him.” Li Qingwan sneered.
Vengeance for every slight—that was her creed.
Seeing her resolve, He Haoxuan said no more.
After Li Qingwan was full, they returned to school.
Li Qingwan, wanting to make a scene, refused to let He Haoxuan leave just like that; she insisted he accompany her to the girls’ dormitory.
When they arrived at the dorm, their class’s sports rep, Long Luoqing, walked over. “Qingwan, I need a favor.”
“What is it?” Li Qingwan asked.
“Well, the boys from our class are playing in the department basketball tournament this afternoon, but we’re short one player. Can you ask your boyfriend to fill in?” Long Luoqing said.
He Haoxuan quickly replied, “I’m not a student at your school.”
Knowing Li Qingwan’s impulsive nature, he worried she might agree to anything if someone praised her.

Sure enough, since Li Qingwan hadn’t agreed, Long Luoqing pressed on, “Qingwan, you’re a campus celebrity now. Even if you’re not a class officer, you should do something for our class, right? Please?”
Turning to He Haoxuan, Long Luoqing added, “Handsome, don’t worry—there’s a rule now: each game allows one outside player. Our regular guy twisted his ankle on the stairs, so we have no choice. You’d just be a substitute, you might not even play.”
Their class had many girls, but not enough boys who could play basketball, and now one was injured—very troublesome.
He Haoxuan was about to refuse when Li Qingwan, annoyed, said, “He Haoxuan, just do something for our class, will you? You’ll be here this afternoon anyway, and you might not even need to play.”
“Alright,” Haoxuan had no choice but to agree.
“And now, go buy me tickets to Lu Ran’s concert,” Li Qingwan ordered.
He Haoxuan drove off, resigned, while Long Luoqing looked at Li Qingwan with envy, “Qingwan, I really envy you—such a handsome, wealthy boyfriend who does whatever you say.”
“Hehe, well, you know me—I wouldn’t settle for anything but the best,” Li Qingwan replied a bit guiltily.
He Haoxuan’s looks were exceptional, but in truth, he wasn’t as outstanding as he appeared.
Leaving the campus, Haoxuan immediately called Fang Yongsheng. “Lu Ran is holding a concert in Qingshan City, did you know?”
“I know, Mr. He. Do you want me to stop Lu Ran from coming to Qingshan?” Fang replied, eager to please. “Our company is involved in organizing the event. If I say the word, Lu Ran can’t perform in Qingshan at all.”
At this point, Fang felt a little reluctant.
Lu Ran’s concert in Qingshan meant a big profit for them.
Just the advertising on major media and TV had sold a lot of tickets already.
Now tickets were hard to get, with scalpers buying up many and prices doubled.
Still, plenty of people wanted tickets to see Lu Ran.
Lu Ran’s fame was considerable, with a huge fanbase.
He Haoxuan shook his head, “That’s not what I mean. I just want to know if you have any VIP tickets—help me buy one.”
He planned to buy Li Qingwan a VIP ticket so she could go on her own.
If there was only one ticket, she wouldn’t insist on him accompanying her.

Anyway, she knew how hard it was to get tickets for Lu Ran’s concert. Even if he got one, it’d be fine.
“We have as many as you want, Mr. He!” Fang Yongsheng replied excitedly.
He relaxed—it was just a ticket, easy enough. Even if all the tickets were sold, they could add more seats closer to Lu Ran, even on the stage if needed—so long as Mr. He was happy.
“As many as I want?” He Haoxuan frowned slightly.
If that's the case, he might as well ask Li Qingying if she wanted to go. A private evening for the two of them wouldn’t be bad.
And maybe Cao Dawei would want a ticket too.
“Yes, Mr. He, just say the word. Lu Ran will be performing in Qingshan for several days. If not today, then tomorrow, or we can add extra shows; no problem. Lu Ran’s popularity is sky-high, we could keep running concerts and still make money,” Fang laughed.
Even if there was no profit, so long as Mr. He was pleased, he could keep adding shows.
“All right, I’ll book ten tickets for now. If I don’t need them, I’ll return them to you. How much are the tickets? Tell me and I’ll transfer the money,” Haoxuan said.
“Mr. He, it’s nothing, you don’t need to pay me,” Fang replied, crestfallen.
Trying to charge He Haoxuan was pointless.
VIP tickets were selling for three thousand each now, and even then, they were hard to get.
But the actual price was only about a thousand per ticket—how could he charge He Haoxuan?
“Fine, just charge me whatever the market rate is,” Haoxuan said.
With no choice, Fang sold him ten tickets for ten thousand.
After hanging up, Haoxuan immediately called Li Qingying, “Honey, what are you doing?”
“I just finished lunch and was about to head back to the office to go over some materials,” Li Qingwan replied.
“You should take a nap after lunch; otherwise you’ll wear yourself out,” Haoxuan said with concern. “Tell you what, I’ll come over now and watch you fall asleep.”
