You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

A pink Porsche arrived at the perimeter of the Jiangbei Music Festival venue.

Before the car even entered the employee entrance, Lu Ci was stunned by the spectacular sight at the entrance, even through the car window.

Dozens of colorful outdoor tents were densely packed on the open ground outside the ticket gate.

Scattered fast food containers, empty water bottles, and other household waste were visible everywhere on the ground.

Hundreds of girls, looking haggard and with dark circles under their eyes, were pressed tightly against the metal fence, like soldiers ready to charge at any moment.

"My God..." Lu Ci pointed out the window in horror, "These people, could they have braved that torrential rain last night and pitched tents here all night long?"

Xiao Wei followed his gaze and glanced at him, nodding as if it were nothing new: "Yes, this music festival is very large, with an inner and outer area. The core area closest to the stage in the inner area has no assigned seats; it's all standing room only."

To see their brother up close, they had to queue a day in advance, hoping to snag the perfect spot in the first row, leaning against the railing, as soon as the gates opened.

Lu Ci frowned slightly.

He noticed with his sharp eyes that quite a few of the girls at the very front of the line were wearing pure white wedding dresses.

However, due to the sudden downpour last night, the muddy ground outside the field was trampled into a muddy mess.

The hems of those once pristine white wedding dresses were now covered in filthy yellow mud, sticking stickily to their legs, making them look extremely disheveled and comical.

"This is terrifying..." Lu Ci shook his head, unable to comprehend this almost fanatical fan culture.

……

The car pulled into the backstage area, and the two of them easily made their way to the most secluded tent from yesterday.

As expected, this place remained deserted.

Forget about the dedicated makeup artist arranged by the organizers, there wasn't even a stagehand to bring hot water.

However, Lu Ci was happy to have some peace and quiet. He had no intention of putting on makeup like those boy band idols. He sat in the chair listening to the song he was going to sing.

Time quickly passed to four o'clock in the afternoon, and ticket checking and audience entry officially began outside.

Even from a great distance, Lu Ci could hear the deafening noise coming from the ticket gate.

The group of enthusiastic fans who lined up yesterday, the moment the turnstiles opened, rushed towards the front of the inner area like wild horses.

Their speed and explosiveness in the 100-meter sprint made one wonder if they were retired from the national track and field team; they could probably win a medal if they went straight to the Olympics.

However, this frantic sprint only lasted for a dozen minutes.

After the core die-hard fans had grabbed all the front-row seats, the entry speed slowed down significantly.

After all, the sun is still scorching at this time of day, and the venue is quite far from the city center, so most of the passersby and young people who bought tickets to watch the excitement are probably still on the bus right now.

The opening performance officially began at 6 PM.

The unfortunate new singer who replaced Lu Ci as the opening act took to the stage.

The area below the stage was completely empty. Apart from the few hundred die-hard fans clinging to the railings at the front, waiting for Zhang Yuan and other celebrities, the rest of the stage was just a vast expanse of open space.

The new singer was performing his heart out on stage, but not a single person in the audience raised their hand to interact with him. The scene was utterly desolate.

Not far from outside the tent.

"Oh, Mr. Shen! If you wanted to come and inspect the place, you could have just called ahead and let us know. We, the organizers, would have sent a car to pick you up. Why bother going to all that trouble for you?"

"Exactly! You really helped Xinghan Media a lot with the Jiangbei Music Festival! If it weren't for the construction team from the Shen Group, how could the stage and surrounding infrastructure have been set up so quickly!"

The female secretary from Xinghan Media followed closely beside Shen Man like a dutiful follower.

Watching Shen Man move between the tents backstage, her eyes searching around, yet remaining silent, the shrewd and calculating female secretary immediately began frantically trying to figure out her intentions.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and alluring female CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate before her, the female secretary secretly clicked her tongue in amazement: This incredibly beautiful and wealthy woman is actually a fan of celebrities?!

But then I thought about it again, and it's perfectly normal for rich people to have such a colorful social circle, and for wealthy women to like young and handsome men.

She guessed that Shen Man's personal visit today was most likely because she had taken a liking to "Zhang Yuan".

After all, Zhang Yuan is known for having a lot of "older sister fans" and "rich woman fans" in the entertainment industry.

Today, Shen Man dressed in a very unusual casual style.

She wore a light blue short denim jacket on top and loose, flowing casual trousers on the bottom. Her long, flowing hair was casually tied up behind her head, and she wore a black baseball cap on her head.

Although this outfit tries hard to lean towards a youthful and lively direction, her aura cultivated from years of holding a high position, as well as her proud and mature curves, still exude a strong mature and sophisticated charm when worn by her.

Shen Man drove here by herself today.

After getting soaked in the rain that night in front of the Municipal Bureau, Shen Man fell ill that very evening.

She had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and lay in the Shen family villa for several days.

Later, Shen's mother told her with heartache that on the night she fell into a coma with a high fever and became delirious, she kept crying and muttering Lu Ci's name, but no matter what she did, she couldn't wake up.

After recovering from her illness, Shen Man was terrified.

She dared not bother Lu Ci again, fearing that her wishful thinking would cause him trouble again, just like what happened with Gu Mingxuan.

However, that deep-seated longing grew wildly in her heart like weeds, almost driving her mad.

So, she secretly bought an inner-field ticket today.

She just wanted to stand quietly in the audience and get a close look at Lu Ci.

This was his first time on such a big stage, and she wanted to see him shine brightly under the spotlight.

This was a scene she had never witnessed in her previous marriages. She didn't want to miss it; she wanted to etch this man's most dazzling and best moment deeply into her mind.

She stubbornly fantasized that one day she would finally win Lu Ci back, and she would tell him in his arms how charming he was on stage that day.

However, when she arrived at the ticket gate full of anticipation, she was scared off by a group of female fans who were frantically pushing towards the front of the stage.

What caught her even more off guard was that she actually saw her younger sister, Shen Nian, in an open space outside the crowd inside the venue!

Moreover, Shen Nian was holding a beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers in her arms, and she stood there quietly with her eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Man didn't want her sister to see her, but she also wanted to see Lu Ci as soon as possible, even if it was just a glimpse from afar.

So she simply used her status as a sponsor of the Shen Group to get directly backstage.

"that……"

Shen Man stopped in her tracks, surrounded by a group of staff who treated her like a star. Looking at the rows of identical temporary tents around her, she hesitated for a moment before finally asking softly:

"I've seen your cast list. There's a singer named... Lu Ci. Which tent is he in right now?"

Upon hearing this, the staff members who had been fawning over her were all stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The female secretary was also taken aback.

The female CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate came backstage, not to seek out top celebrities or big names, but to specifically ask for a minor internet celebrity?!

However, the female secretary reacted very quickly, as Lu Ci was selected because he was a local internet celebrity in Jiangcheng.

As the largest local entrepreneur in Jiangcheng, it seems reasonable for Mr. Shen to pay attention to local singers.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu is over there." The female secretary pointed to the tent at the far end of the corridor.

Shen Man stared at the tent for a long time.

She hesitated, her slender fingers gripping the hem of her denim jacket tightly, but in the end she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to walk over.

She was afraid that her sudden appearance would affect his mood before going on stage.

Seeing Shen Man standing there in a daze, the female secretary rolled her eyes and thought that Shen Man was just asking casually, and that her real target must still be the top star.

She quietly took half a step back and whispered to one of her assistants beside her:

"Quick! Get Teacher Zhang Yuan out here for a moment. Tell him that President Shen from the Shen Group came to visit the set, and we want him to come out and make an impression!"
