I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 378 Let me show you whether I'm real gold or not!

7 month 20 day.

This day was destined to be lively.

At 8 a.m., Liu Hong sat in her office, finished her breakfast early, logged into the ticketing website, and checked her personal information again to make sure there were no problems before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is the day tickets for Ye Xian's first concert will be released. According to Ye Xian, 89000 tickets will be released today, all at 9 o'clock.

As of 24:00 on the 19th, the total number of reservations for Ye Xian's three concerts has exceeded 25 million.

The girls in the late-night snack fan group started clamoring to stay up from the early hours of the morning, waiting for the tickets to be released, but the group leader persuaded them all to go to sleep.

The Night Snack Group was the most peaceful fan group Liu Hong had ever seen. They never encouraged fans to buy anything or do any support activities. Only some big fan leaders in their own groups would clamor that Ye Xian couldn't be worse than others, just like mothers who didn't want their children to lose at the starting line.

Liu Hong scrolled through fan groups, Weibo posts, and supertopics while waiting for the time to approach.

Feeling a bit bored, she opened her music player, only to remember that Sea Lion Music could no longer play Ye Xian's songs.

In the end, I had no choice but to open Kuaiyin (a Chinese music streaming platform) and listen to songs for free on it.

After listening to "Sunny Day" twice, Liu Hong suddenly realized that it was taking up too much bandwidth, so she quickly closed all the apps and turned off the Wi-Fi.

There are too many people in the company, and the network speed is heavily consumed. It's better to use the network speed provided by the mobile carrier. This is a successful experience shared by the ladies in the group.

8: 30.

The fan group started to go wild.

[Ahhh, only half an hour left! I pray I can snag some inner-circle tickets! I'll pay any price!]

[Inner field tickets? I'd even take the best seats! This is Brother Xian's first concert!]

I've made up my mind: if I can't get tickets, I'll stand outside the Royal Stadium all night and listen!

[Don't say such discouraging things! Three shows, 26.7 tickets, a 1% chance of winning is already pretty good! Ladies, there are still 30 minutes left, I need to take a bath, change clothes, and burn incense!]

……

8: 40.

The excited fan group began to quiet down.

8: 50.

Even the most active fans have fallen silent, and all the fan groups have become quiet.

Liu Hong also felt her breathing become tense.

She had never been to a concert before, nor did she have a boyfriend to accompany her. This time, she was determined to treat herself to a good meal after studying hard recently.

8: 55.

Liu Hong glanced up and saw the department manager looking at her. She immediately got up and sprinted into the restroom.

Quickly open the backend; there are four types of tickets: two for the grandstand (NT$580 and NT$880) and two for the inner field (NT$1280 and NT$1680).

The ticket price was neither too high nor too low, which was commensurate with Ye Xian's status.

9: 00.

Tickets are released on time by the ticketing website.

Liu Hong didn't have time to look at it carefully. She directly clicked on the 880 yuan grandstand ticket she had reserved in advance. This was the highest price she could afford and also the price with the largest number of tickets available, with an extremely high chance of winning.

However, when Liu Hong clicked on the payment page, unfortunately, the network froze for a moment.

Payment failed!

Liu Hong felt her brain suddenly rush with blood. She hurriedly returned to the page and clicked to pay again, only to be prompted that there were too many people in the queue and she should wait patiently.

When she refreshed the page and tried to access it again, the system displayed the message: "Too many people are currently placing orders. We suggest you try again later."

When I clicked on the payment page for the fourth time, the system displayed a message: "All tickets for this event are sold out."

"Ahhhhh—"

Liu Hong was so angry in the restroom that she shouted and yelled. It was all the manager's fault. Why did he have to look at her? If she hadn't hidden in the restroom, she wouldn't have missed out on tickets because of the bad signal.

The toilet smells so bad!

It's affecting my luck!

89000 tickets sold out in just 5 minutes! Who would have thought?

The fan group was in an uproar.

[I can't get one! Absolutely not! Even my boyfriend couldn't get one for me! I've practically worn my phone out!]

【Aaaaaah! I specifically went outside to an open space in 40-degree heat, just to avoid anyone interfering with the network, and I still didn't manage to get one! I'm going crazy!】

[Wasn't it supposed to be 89000 tickets? How could they sell out so quickly? They were gone in minutes? Brother Xian wouldn't be lying to us, would he?]

[Haha, ladies, look what this is! It's an inside ticket! I managed to snag one!]

……

Some are happy while others are sad, but there are more sad people than happy people, which makes Liu Hong feel a little better.

It's okay, there are two more matches tomorrow and the day after. The chance of winning is only 1%, I don't believe I can't get one!

After composing herself, Liu Hong walked out of the restroom and saw the manager looking for her from afar.

Liu Hong's face darkened, and her mood worsened.

……

9: 10.

#YeXian'sFirstConcertTicketsSoldOutInstantly

The trending topic arrived as expected, making many people in the industry envious.

At the Beijing Stadium, a 10-seat event, 89000 tickets were released and sold out in less than 5 minutes. Many colleagues who were initially prepared to see the show fail fell silent.

This is the kind of appeal only top-tier singers have!

Most importantly, Ye Xian didn't give scalpers a chance; these were a genuine 89000 tickets!

Ye Xian, who was targeted and suppressed by Sun Ying, Li Ming, Ai Lele, and Hua Yuyu, retaliated fiercely against everyone's ridicule in this way.

Many people have also realized why Ye Xian issued a statement some time ago saying that he would suspend releasing songs.

Didn't you guys say my singing wasn't good?

Didn't you say I fabricated data?

Let's test my appeal with a concert!

Let me show you whether I'm real gold or not!

……

The following day, tickets for the second concert sold out in 4 minutes and 38 seconds.

Tickets for the third concert will be available on July 23rd.

178,000 tickets sold over two days—not many, but not few either.

Many fans were overjoyed and posted screenshots of their successful ticket purchases on Weibo, Weibo supertopics, and Kuaishou.

This is probably the hardest and easiest time to snag tickets.

Because there were no scalpers controlling the ticket supply, 17.8 tickets were released all at once, earning Ye Xian a good reputation.

But there was mostly wailing and lamentation.

With 2500 million people making reservations, but less than 0.7% actually getting tickets, all fans are now focused on the final concert.

This time, everyone was relieved that Ye Xian had decided to limit the number of times an account could make a purchase after a successful purchase. This single rule greatly increased everyone's chances of winning the lottery.

……

Liu Hong felt like she was going crazy; she hadn't managed to snag a spot in two consecutive games.

Luckily it's Sunday, otherwise she would have to consider taking half a day off to try and buy tickets at home.

Skilled at accessing the ticketing website's backend, Liu Hong kept refreshing the page while silently praying.

She didn't necessarily have to go to Ye Xian's concert; rather, she felt it was a reward for herself.

Life shouldn't just be about burying yourself in hard work. Occasionally, you should stop and enjoy yourself before letting go of your burdens and moving forward. This is Liu Hong's life motto.

In fact, many young people today do this: every now and then, they reward themselves with a short trip to the suburbs, or they meet up with friends to watch a movie or have a meal together when they have free time. These are all ways for them to relax under the heavy pressure of life.

The time has come to 9:00 once again.

Liu Hong refreshed the page, and the order window immediately popped up. Without thinking, she clicked to confirm payment.

A payment window pops up; proceed with the payment.

success!

Liu Hong was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Why is everything going so smoothly this time?

It's so silky smooth!

Did I just get nothing the first two times I tried to steal something?
