CONCERT

The concert began a few minutes later and Xinyi waved her lightstick as she and her friends jumped happily to the rhythm. Four boys appeared coming on stage which made the crowd go wide with excitement. Winter Night. The four idol princes of the country. They were not only known within the country but also outside. Xinyi smiled as she recognized each of them as she always did. They all had the gentleman bad boy aura which made fans speculate how they truly were in real life. Were they bad boys or real gentlemen who would sweep you of your feet as princes did in fairy tales, no one could tell.

They were all dressed handsomely in white for the opening act which made the fans go crazy. Everyone admired their style and often put them as trendsetters. Many college boys tried as much as possible to purchase clothes they wore for concerts, fan signing events and other activities. Girls who were their ultimate fans would fall in love even more with the boy that wore them. The song started and girls started and the entire hall went quiet with everyone just wavering their lightstick. Winter Night's lightstick had been one of the most beautiful lightsticks in the music industry. It was like a snow globe on top of a stick only that the inside had been made dark and there was a button to light the place up. The inside light put into the snow globe could change colours. Since the group had worn white fur clothes, all the fans had changed the color of the lightsticks to white to suit the idols.

" It is only when the world goes dark."

Fans went crazy shouting as Winter Night performed. Winter Night was composed of four members. Hou Jianhong (JH), Rand Maneerattana (Randy), Xian Liuxian (Liuxian) and Nakamoto Yokamochi (Mochi). Hou Jianhong (stage name: JH) was known to be the leader of Winter Night and the brains behind their successful songs. He was tall, having beautiful blue eyes which made you want to willingly drown yourself in the sea.Although he wasn't the visual of the group, many fans agreed he was handsome enough to rival with any visual. To them, he was the unspoken head of visuals. There was also Randy. He was from Taiwan and was the main rapper of the group. His fandom mostly consisted of boys as they all admired his hip-hop talent and breathtaking playboy skills. Randy was one few people they called shameless flirts but he was also considered one of the fashion icons in the music industry. People said the most expensive things in his house were his clothes. Next was the visual and main dancer of the group, Liuxian. He was extremely handsome fitting perfectly into China's beauty standards. He had everything. The height, fair skin and big eyes. He was also the gentleman of the group meaning he had the largest fans in the group. More than his breathtaking visuals, fans praised him for his wonderful dance moves. Lastly, the well loved maknae, Nakamoto Yokamochi also known as Mochi. Although he was from Japan, he blended well just like Randy and earned the extreme loyalty from fans.

"Until the days come and over love never goes cold!" Xinyi shouted following the lyrics as they sang.

The concert ended happily as the fans shouted and yelled screaming their names.

The next day, Tang Bao Jun sat down facing the board of directors and staffs. He now had the money to save the company so they were no longer bankrupt. Now the only problem was how to convince them to making a new girl group so Xinyi could join the company. Based on company policies, they debuted a group once every three years. After Winter Night's ratings had gone down, they lowly started losing money and most of their artists had decided to cancel their contract and leave. It was true they needed to make a comeback and this was the right time to do it.

"There is someone willing to invest now.There is no need for us to disband Winter Night." Bao Jun said watching as the board of directors glanced at each other confused.

"There is someone willing to invest? Have you investigated the background of this person?" Mr Ling asked.

"Of course. You don't need to worry. As you all know, my cousin is a die hard fan of Winter Night. For the sake of keeping Winter Night together, she was willing to invest. I will sell her 40% of my shares in exchange. That way, we can save MMF Entertainment." Bao Jun said.

"40%? A whole 40%? Mr Tang,you are aware that you hold 70% of shares in MMF Entertainment. Selling out 40% will no longer make you the biggest share holder and that means your cousin will have to appear at every board meeting. From what I heard, her identity has been kept from the public since she was little.Is Tang Group now ready to expose her identity?" Mr Zhang asked.

"As you all know, Tang Group is united. My cousin won't be exposing her identity. Even though she is now the largest shareholder, I will remain as the largest shareholder to you all because I will be handling her rights in the company. That being said, please do not worry. Now,as we are about to make a comeback, I say let's do it with a strong force. In the past few years, we had been facing a crisis and were unable to debut any new groups. Now that we are rising from the ashes, let's try and push forward our old trainees. What do you say?" Bao Jun asked glancing at their faces.

The board of directors glanced round discussing amongst themselves and Tang Bao Jun crossed his fingers under the table praying they would agree. For many years, Winter Night had reigned not only in China but across the world. Disbanding them now would be a waste after years of hard efforts.

"Okay, Mr Tang. We accept. Since your cousin is willing to invest, we accept. After all, this means Tang Group will closely be associated with the company now." Mr Ling said.

"It's true my cousin does want to invest and in fact, I have already received the check. Since it's in different currency and the amount is huge, it might take some time to process but once it's done, I assure you that we can then push forward. I will also talk to Winter Night so they can start preparing for a comeback to let the fans know we no longer plan on disbanding them. I hope that you won't try to take advantage of Tang Group's kindness." Bao Jun said sternly.

"Of course not." Mr Zhang said.

"Then it's settled. This meeting is closed. Please feel free to leave. I still have to talk to the members of Winter Night." Bao Jun said.

Everyone stood up leaving the room and Bao Jun picked up the office phone calling his secretary to call Winter Night to his office. That crazy girl. Although in the past, he had also been against her obsession with Winter Night. This time it had saved MMF Entertainment. The problem was, how was he going to explain to Xinyi's parents should they ever find out? The board of directors were now aware his cousin was the one investing. Surely they must be thinking this was done with the approval of her parents since Xinyi was still under aged. If any of them were to blab, he didn't even want to imagine.

************************************

All the members of Winter Night were gathered in the practice room sitting and chatting. Randy and Liuxian were the same age and this had enabled them to be the best of friends. Mochi also sat down with them but he was the maknae and was very young so he was always playing video games. While they all sat down chatting, JH looked the mirror in front of him. Today, they had all dressed up casually since today was their last day.

Years of hard work and dedication had gone down the drain and JH blamed himself. If it hadn't been for the scandal he had with his ex-wife, Winter Night would still be on the roll making history. Their group had debuted six years back and everyone loved them and saw something that even he didn't see. After seeing the love and trust his fans had placed in him, he didn't want to disappoint. They had practiced hard, sacrificed their sleep and their best. Unfortunately, the fans never easily forgave.

"Mr Tang wants all of you in his office." A staff said bringing JH to reality.

All eyes seemed to be on him with question. Of course he understood what they were thinking. The unseen future scares everyone including them. Mr Tang was the CEO and the only time they ever met with him was when there was bad news.

"We'll be there." JH said.
