Chapter 763 - 264: Recognizing an "Uncle", Office Romance (Two-in-One - : Monthly Ticket Bonus Update)

Li Yuan asked with a surprised expression, "What? The tickets sold out just one minute after they were released?"

Although I expected my popularity to be high, I didn’t think it would be *this* high. The cheapest tickets for this ’Milk Tea Girl’ awards ceremony are 1,000 yuan, and some of the front-row seats go for three or four thousand. Price-wise, they’re no cheaper than Jay Chou’s last world tour. For tickets this expensive to be snapped up in just a minute... that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Even tickets for megastars like Jay Chou and Dehua couldn’t possibly sell out that fast, right? Is my fans’ spending power really this terrifying?

Li Yuan was filled with doubt.

Hearing this, Bai Weixi also asked with a puzzled look, "President Su, did they really sell out in one minute?"

Su Yunting nodded happily, confirming, "The back-end system confirms they were all gone within a minute."

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan and teased, "As expected of the legendary Xia Hua, you’re really popular!"

Su Yunting smiled slightly. "That’s right. Director Li has a huge fanbase, and they’re all incredibly passionate and die-hard. When word got out that Director Li would be holding a solo concert after the awards ceremony, the internet went wild. Fans have been doing whatever they can to get tickets."

"After the tickets sold out, a large number of fans left messages in the official website’s comment section, begging us to release more. Two thousand tickets are nowhere near enough to meet their demand."

"Director Li, what do you think? Should we add more?"

Beside Li Yuan, Bai Weixi, with her background in finance and accounting, immediately started running the numbers in her head. Based on a minimum ticket price of 1,000 yuan and an average price of around 1,500 yuan, 2,000 tickets would bring in 3 million yuan. That nearly recouped the prize money for the "Milk Tea Girl" competition.

Do celebrities really make this much money from concerts?

Bai Weixi gazed at Li Yuan with admiration.

This idol to thousands of young women... is my man.

Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin, asking cheerfully, "What do you all think? Should we add more tickets?"

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan and said lightly, "Our awards ceremony on January 5th is at the Longyu Grand Hotel, which can only hold about 3,000 people. If we add more tickets, we’ll have to change venues, and we might not have enough time for that, right?"

Bai Weixi shared the same view. "They’re already setting up the stage at the Longyu Grand Hotel, with all the lighting, backdrops, and props... If we suddenly change the venue, wouldn’t that be a bit of a problem?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly and turned to Xia Zhijin. "Zhijin, what do you think?"

Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan and replied in a soft voice, "If there’s enough time, changing the venue would be fine."

Li Yuan understood what his three girlfriends were getting at and smiled. "Then let’s stick to the original plan."

It was already January 2nd. Changing the venue now would be too rushed. It wouldn’t be good if the plan backfired.

Li Yuan then shrugged and joked, "Speaking of which, this is my first time organizing an event like this. Facing so many fans, I’m actually a bit nervous. A smaller crowd might be better."

Zhong Tingyue chuckled and teased, "Senior, at Jay Chou’s concert, in front of over ten thousand people, you didn’t seem nervous at all. You sang with such emotion..."

Li Yuan smiled sheepishly. "That’s different. Performing at someone else’s concert isn’t the same as holding your own."

Zhong Tingyue loved seeing this slightly embarrassed side of Li Yuan. It made him seem so real and tangible; her man, not that legendary, miraculous genius.

"Senior, should we invite anyone to our awards ceremony?"

Li Yuan’s eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten about that. This was, after all, a major national event organized by Tea Color Moonlight. Over 2,000 "Milk Tea Girl" contestants had participated from all over the country, and the number of voters had reached several hundred thousand. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a "national audition." For such a significant event, it was only natural to invite some guests to build momentum and add to the prestige.

He patted Zhong Tingyue’s head. Among his girlfriends, she truly had the sharpest business mind and was able to spot things he’d overlooked.

"Little Moon, you’re so clever," Li Yuan praised happily. "If you hadn’t reminded me, I would’ve completely forgotten about this. You’re a lifesaver."

Receiving a head-pat and such high praise from Li Yuan in front of the other girlfriends made Zhong Tingyue blush, a faint red tinge spreading across her cheeks.

She had only mentioned it offhandedly and felt quite embarrassed. Isn’t this sort of thing just common sense?

"Let’s all think about this. Who should we invite to the event?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s question, they all began to chime in with ideas.

Bai Weixi answered first. "I think we could invite some of the leaders and professors from our university. We’re all still students, and we might need the school’s support in the future."

Zhong Tingyue continued, "We could also invite some of our business partners, like CEO Wu from Yuandian Web, the editor from Starry Sky, and CEO You from Wangyi Company. You’ve worked with all of them..."

Seeing that Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue had both shared their opinions, Xia Zhijin glanced at them, then her gaze settled on Li Yuan as she began to speak quietly.
