Chapter 58

makes its first public appearance.

Ren Xianqi's concert is titled "Romantic Storm". This is his first concert in Beijing, so he attaches great importance to it and the guest singers he invited are all very famous.

Lee Tsung-sheng is ranked first.

This bigwig's status in the Chinese music scene needs no introduction; he is second only to the music godfather, Luo Dayou.

He is not only a singer, but also a very talented music producer who has produced albums for many singers such as Zhao Chuan, Karen Mok, Zhang Xinzhe, and Liang Jingru.

Lee Tsung-sheng and Jen Hsien-chi have a mentor-student relationship and are both with Rock Records. Lee came specifically to support Jen Hsien-chi.

Then there's Karen Mok, who is not only Ren Xianqi's friend but also his rumored girlfriend. Recently, the media has been spreading gossip about the two of them.

Ren Xianqi invited her to sing as a guest, which generated a lot of buzz and attention for the concert.

It's obvious that the media will make a big deal out of this.

Another one is Guangliang, Ren Xianqi's good friend.

In May of this year, he released his first solo album, in which the song "The First Time" became a popular hit of the year.

The last guest performer was Jiang Feng.

He was brought here temporarily by Ren Xianqi; he wasn't originally part of the plan.

Li Zongsheng, Mo Wenwei, Guangliang, Jiang Feng.

Hmm...it seems like something strange has infiltrated our group.

Seeing his name listed alongside those of Li Zongsheng, Mo Wenwei, and Guangliang, even Jiang Feng himself felt a little out of place.

The list immediately attracted media attention and sparked heated discussions among netizens upon its release.

Immediately, major media outlets rushed to report on it, and netizens on online forums and campus BBS were buzzing with discussion.

Who is Jiang Feng? Has anyone heard of this singer?

"Never heard of it. Am I just ignorant?"

"I can't even find a single photo of it online, is it that mysterious?"

"They might be a new singer signed by Rolling Stone Records."

"What kind of new singer is so amazing? He's already a guest performer for Ren Xianqi before even debuting, and he's shared the stage with Li Zongsheng and Karen Mok. What makes him so special?"

"This Jiang Feng must have quite a background; he might be a rich second-generation or a celebrity's son..."

"I heard the CEO of Rolling Stone has an illegitimate child, could it be him?"

……

The rumors spread by netizens became increasingly outrageous, with even the claim that Jiang Feng was the illegitimate son of the CEO of Rolling Stone Records appearing.

What's outrageous is that many people actually believe it.

Even Jiang Feng's classmates came to ask him if he was the illegitimate son of the CEO of Rolling Stone or a rich second-generation or celebrity second-generation.

If it weren't for their good relationship with Jiang Feng and their knowledge of his background, even Dong Xuan, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and Cui Peng would probably have doubted Jiang Feng's origins.

The following morning, Jiang Feng was invited by Ren Xianqi to attend a press conference, where he met three other guests backstage: Li Zongsheng, Mo Wenwei, and Guangliang.

Ren Xianqi introduced Jiang Feng to them.

"Hello, Brother Li Zongsheng."

"Hello, Sister Karen."

"Hello, Guangliang-ge."

Taking advantage of the handshake, Jiang Feng gained over 1000 points in songwriting and composition, over 500 points in singing skills, and over 300 points in musical instruments, including guitar and piano.

Most of the attribute points were contributed by Li Zongsheng.

This big shot truly lives up to his reputation; he has so many freebies he can't possibly take them all.

Jiang Feng even managed to extract 30 points of acting skill from Mo Wenwei.

Karen Mok's portrayal of Bai Jingjing in "A Chinese Odyssey" and the double-knife turkey in "The God of Cookery" left a very deep impression on him.

Her looks aren't considered outstanding in the star-studded entertainment industry, but she possesses a unique charm and charisma, a beauty with a captivating aura.

Wow, handsome guy, you're so good-looking!

Mo Wenwei was stunned by Jiang Feng's good looks. His gaze was fixed on Jiang Feng, and he couldn't look away.

Everyone loves beauty; men love beautiful women, and women like handsome men.

Karen Mok made no attempt to hide her fondness for it.

Lee Tsung-sheng joked with a smile:

"Karen, can't you be a little more reserved, you're a girl? How can you stare at someone like that the moment you meet them? Your eyes are practically popping out."

Both Li Zongsheng and Mo Wenwei were cheerful and outgoing, and they quickly became acquainted with Jiang Feng.

Mo Wenwei even enthusiastically taught Jiang Feng how to deal with reporters' difficult questions.

After waiting for a while, the press conference began.

The scene was packed with reporters from various media outlets.

As soon as Jiang Feng and his group appeared, the reporters went wild, swarming around them with their cameras and microphones, bombarding them with all sorts of questions.

Ren Xianqi was the first to be affected.

"Xiao Qi, are you confident about this concert?"

Some say that Zhou Jielun brought an end to your era. What's your opinion on this?

"Who do you think is more capable, you or Zhou Jielun?"

Why did you choose Karen Mok as your guest performer? There are rumors that you two are secretly dating, is that true?

Ren Xianqi is a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, and he answered reporters' tricky questions flawlessly.

When the reporters realized they couldn't get any valuable information from him, they turned their attention to Karen Mok, Lee Tsung-sheng, and others.

Karen Mok endured the most intense criticism because she had been rumored to have affairs with both Jonathan Lee and Ren Xianqi.

It just so happens that both men were with her.

"Xiao Qi and I are just good friends. Brother Zong Sheng is my friend and also my teacher..."

The reporters let Mo Wenwei go, automatically ignoring Guangliang, and pointed their microphones at Jiang Feng on the far side.

This was Jiang Feng's first public appearance and his first media interview.

The media reporters were also full of curiosity about this mysterious newcomer, and they were all eager to find out more information about him.

"Jiang Feng, what is your relationship with Ren Xianqi?"

"You don't have a single representative work. Do you really think you're qualified to be Ren Xianqi's guest performer? Is there some shady business going on here?"

"There are rumors online that you are the illegitimate son of the CEO of Rolling Stone Records. Is that true?"

"Are you really a second-generation rich kid?"

……

Faced with the reporters' aggressive questioning, Jiang Feng maintained a smile, remaining composed and dignified, and answered fluently and appropriately.

"Xiao Qi and I are good friends."

"I will be performing my new song at Richie Jen's concert. As for whether I am qualified, the audience will judge for themselves."

"Regarding the question of whether I'm a second-generation rich kid, I once asked my father if he was a billionaire. To test me, I deliberately concealed my identity. Guess what he said?"

The reporter's curiosity was piqued.

"What did your father say?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile:

"My dad said he asked my grandfather the same question. He kept pestering my grandfather for a long time, but my grandfather refused to admit that he was a rich man. He also said that he had asked my great-grandfather the same question..."

"Hahahahaha..."

The reporters were amused by Jiang Feng's witty and humorous answer.

Even Ren Xianqi, Mo Wenwei, and Li Zongsheng couldn't help but laugh.
