{Chapter: 77 Others sing for money, he sings to get killed!}
After the camera focused on Lin Yuan, everyone was eager to see what song he would request.
What kind of song could he possibly be interested in?
But unexpectedly, Lin Yuan said, "I don't have any song requests. Can you give me the mic?"
Hearing this, everyone in the concert venue was stunned.
"Give him the mic?"
"What does that mean?"
Li Feifei was also confused, a huge question mark floating over her head.
Lin Yuan said again, "Miss Li, you sing very well. But I came with a friend today, and I want to use this platform to sing a song for my friend. So, if you don't mind, could you give me the mic? Let me sing."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's reason, the audience was shocked, and they went into a frenzy.
"Wow!!!"
Lin Yuan's words were so bold—asking a star like Li Feifei to step down so he could sing for the audience.
No one had ever done something like this before.
Yu Shanshan, who was sitting nearby, was also taken aback.
"Co—Cousin, what did you just say?" Seeing the eyes of almost everyone in the audience, Yu Shanshan felt embarrassed for the first time.
Even Chi Qian, usually as calm as a still pond, was surprised.
Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Lin Yuan in astonishment.
In a major star's concert, someone was asking the star to step down and let him sing? What kind of madness was this?
In the twenty years Chi Qian had lived, she had never seen anything like this.

Meanwhile, in the top office of the Yan Group, a sound of something falling to the ground could be heard.
Yan Ruyue was stunned.
Today, she had taken the initiative to invite Lin Yuan, but she was rejected. Afterward, she focused on her work in the office.
When she finally had a moment to rest, she decided to check out the live broadcast of Li Feifei's concert in Jiangbei.
She hadn't watched for long when, to her surprise, she saw Lin Yuan being highlighted by the camera.
He had been chosen as the lucky audience member. The shock made her phone slip from her hand and fall onto the floor.
That's when she realized why Lin Yuan had rejected her invitation—he had already planned to attend the concert with someone else.
And she knew exactly who that someone was.
She quickly picked up her phone and braced herself for what song Lin Yuan would request as the lucky audience member.
She had many songs in mind that he could choose. But, to her shock, Lin Yuan asked for the mic to sing instead!
Boom!
The phone fell again, this time from the sheer shock.
---
Li Feifei was stunned, her mind racing as her audience member requested that she step down from the stage so he could sing by himself.
This person was definitely not one of her fans.
Could it be that her rival sent him to create trouble?
Li Feifei snapped back to reality quickly.
If she refused to let him sing, the atmosphere at the concert would drop instantly, potentially affecting the entire event.
She realized that agreeing to his request wasn't a big risk.
If she let him sing, her concert might even become a viral sensation. Whether his singing was good or bad, it would certainly be talked about.
Could Lin Yuan possibly outperform a national singer like her?
In the end, her approval wouldn't bring harm—only attention.
So, why not let him have his moment?
With these thoughts in mind, Li Feifei smiled and said, "Yes, handsome guy from the audience. Please come up on stage, and I'll give you my mic."
Li Feifei walked toward Lin Yuan, who was seated very close to the stage.
Once she gave her approval, the audience erupted into a frenzy.
"She really let him go up and sing!"
"Li Feifei actually agreed?!"
"Is he trying to cause trouble?"
"What the hell is this guy trying to do? Does he think he can sing better than Li Feifei?"
"Have you seen the girl with him? She's a real beauty. Usually, beauties like her have chubby, swollen-eyed guys as companions."
"Just wait for him to embarrass himself."
Some in the crowd began mocking him, but suddenly, a girl expressed support for Lin Yuan.
"What's wrong with that? At least this guy has the courage to sing for his girl in front of so many people."
"What's your problem? At least he's brave enough to sing for his girlfriend. I dare you to try it if you're not afraid of embarrassing yourself."
"Why not? This guy is so handsome. Even if he can't sing, I'll still like him! From now on, I'll use 100 points of enthusiasm for Feifei and 1000 points of love to chase this handsome guy."
"I think I recognize him. He was the one who played the piano incredibly well during the Jiangbei Music Exhibition! He was amazing!"
Another girl recognized Lin Yuan.
But immediately, someone ridiculed, "Playing piano and singing are two different things. He can't be good at both! His singing might be terrible."
"His looks are deceiving. Inside and out, he's just another guy."
The crowd's reactions were divided. One side thought he was being rude and that his singing would be bad. The other side admired his bravery and hoped his singing would live up to his skills.
Most of the people didn't believe Lin Yuan could sing well.
At least, they didn't think he could be better than Li Feifei, the new queen of the music scene.
At this moment, Lin Yuan began walking slowly toward the stage.
"Just watch, cousin. Come on…"
Hearing the angry voices of some Li Feifei fans, Yu Shanshan trembled but cheered Lin Yuan on.
Yu Shanshan knew how popular Li Feifei was, and she feared that Lin Yuan's actions would make the fans turn on him.
Fortunately, most of her solid fans were women who wouldn't dare touch Lin Yuan.
As Lin Yuan made his way to the stage, Chi Qian's eyes followed him.
Chi Qian turned to Yu Shanshan and asked, "Shanshan, does your cousin sing well?"
Yu Shanshan slapped her forehead and replied, "I really don't want to recall the time he sang…"
To put it simply, it was "wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves"…
"He has a nickname… 'the original song killer'… You can't even bear to listen when he starts singing."
"I once gave him a comment: 'Others sing for money, he sings to get killed.'"
"Hey!" Hearing Yu Shanshan's words, Chi Qian covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.
"Is it really that bad? He plays the piano so well," Chi Qian asked with a smile.
Yu Shanshan shook her head. "You know I usually have a silver tongue, but I have to be honest—his singing is so terrible. It's beyond imagination."
After hearing Yu Shanshan's words, Chi Qian closely observed Lin Yuan as he took the stage.
She couldn't help but wonder how bad Lin Yuan's singing would be. She now wanted to hear this 'wail like ghosts and howl like wolves'…
Yu Shanshan, on the other hand, was covering her face, preparing for the worst.
She considered sneaking away as soon as Lin Yuan's disastrous singing started.
Lin Yuan finally reached the center of the stage.
Li Feifei smiled at him and handed him the microphone.
Before giving him the mic, she asked, "May I ask this handsome guy what song you'll be singing? Is it one of my songs, or another artist's?"
Standing on the stage in front of nearly 100,000 spectators, Lin Yuan took the microphone with confidence, smiling.
He didn't seem nervous at all as he said, "I want to sing an original song of my own."
"Wow!!!"
Hearing Lin Yuan's response, the crowd was instantly energized.
"So this handsome guy even writes songs?!! I love it!"
"He can do it! It's time for your debut, handsome guy! I really like you!"
"Haha! If he just makes up a few words and calls it a song, that's an insult to real musicians."
The girls expressed their support out of admiration, while the boys believed he was just bragging.
Yu Shanshan covered her face, only peeking through her fingers. "It's starting, cousin. It's over. He's right. Every time he sings someone else's song, it becomes his 'original' song. It's going to be terrible."
"After listening to it, I won't be able to tell what the original song even is."
Upon hearing Yu Shanshan's words, Chi Qian smiled, recalling something.
She remembered Lin Yuan's piano composition, 'Sad or Happy.'
The piece was so well-written. Could he really write songs?
Chi Qian thought briefly and then shook her head, dismissing her doubts.
'How is that possible?'
How could he excel in so many different things?
As a son of an influential family, Lin Yuan was good at stocks, playing the piano, and now… could he also be good at songwriting and singing?
It seemed impossible.
Most likely, as Yu Shanshan said, his "original song" wouldn't resemble anything real.
Even so, Chi Qian couldn't shake a strange feeling of anticipation deep within her.
