His evening stream was still about drawing. Only he had added some content regarding his concert and his singing. Of course, he mainly focused on chatting. As for singing, it was just him humming tunes to tease his viewers.

There were several new netizens during the evening stream, as most of them were fans of Bai Zhi. They were all curious as to what kind of person her temporary guest star was, and how a stream host can become a guest at Bai Zhi’s concert.

They came in and took a look, but were immediately taken aback by Meng Fan’s superb drawing skills.

Then, most of them became immersed in Meng Fan’s fascinating voice.

Although Bai Zhi was a female singer, she still had more female fans than males, as her fanbase was mainly based on girls.

The vocal tone Meng Fan described was very attractive to women. As for the male population, it might affect a small portion of the population, even more than it affected women!

Striking the iron while it was still hot, Meng Fan headed to the Huang Long gymnasium right after class the next day. He had announced in his stream that he’d be watching Shan Jin bro’s rehearsal, but he didn’t say he would let Su Qing Cen enter the lens.

As a result, it was impossible to stream Su Qing Cen’s rehearsal. After all, it was confidential. Instead, Meng Fan showed his viewers something even more brazen. That was, a stream of him eating and chatting with Su Qing Cen!

The fickle netizens in the stream knew that Meng Fan was a fan of Shan Jin bro. When he ran from Hangzhou to Shanghai, it had been for Shan Jin bro’s concert. Later, the black magic of the laughing fever happened during the concert, and their last interaction occurred when he broke the world record with his basketball machine scoring and Shan Jin bro forwarded a weibo status congratulating him.

In the eyes of the netizens, Meng Fan was undoubtedly a happy fan. He had successfully got his idol to notice him through his own hard work, and even receiving recognition from his idol. And they could sit down for a meal together too.

Of course, they were envious, but they weren’t jealous. Thinking about it, it felt very positive.

Therefore, the correct way to pursue a star, to the netizens at least, was demonstrated by Meng Fan flawlessly.

What’s the most important about chasing an idol?

Making yourself a better person!

What was an idol? Of course, someone who provides guidance to their fans, and a person that encourages their fans to work hard to become better versions of themselves.

Yes. at least, this was what the fickle netizens believed.

However, if the netizens were to find out that the main reason that allowed Meng Fan to eat lunch with Su Qing Cen was that Meng Fan had a sister who was even more big shot than Su Qing Sen… Sigh, where would that positive energy go?!

Meng Fan’s stream this time around was not long. It began when the two of them appeared at a restaurant, where Su Qing Cen greeted the camera and answered some questions from the netizens. It was no different from conducting an interview, except the interview duration was a bit long.

Following this was Meng Fan and Su Qing Cen’s conversation. As for the content, Meng Fan understood a little, for it’s been a long time since Meng Cai Wei debuted. He was clear regarding what he was allowed to speak of and what he was to avoid and was able to grasp the scope quite well. Everything they talked about was within the scope of what was already publicly available regarding the idol.

And Meng Fan was very concerned about the image of his idol as well, so naturally, he wanted to show off her best side to his viewers, including parts of her character that were lovable that could be shown to his netizens.

If you don’t mention it, Meng Fan’s business skills were only increasing in level.

The stream ended once the dishes were delivered; he couldn’t demonstrate the eating process as well.

The following day, Meng Fan rushed to watch Bai Zhi’s rehearsal in the afternoon, practicing by himself once again, then during dinner… He streamed dinner with Bai Zhi.

The next day was Bai Zhi’s dress rehearsal the day before her concert.

During rehearsal, all the lights were in place and Meng Fan arrived in the morning. He was mainly there to practice his positioning. In the afternoon, they followed a regular concert procedure and rehearsed one more time.

Su Qing Cen was there, and so was Tao Tao. Hence after the rehearsal, dinner was another round of “mukbang”, or food stream. But this time, the content wasn’t them chatting. Instead, it was a promotional stream for the concert at 7:30 pm the next day.

This time, it wasn’t just Bai Zhi giving Meng Fan face, but legitimate publicity. Bai Zhi didn’t even believe it herself. In the last few days, Meng Fan’s stream had mysteriously become one of the most important promotional windows for the streamed concert.

Bai Zhi’s talent company and the Tiger Cat platform also had been promoting the event, but they could only be considered as official announcements, while Meng Fan’s stream was a “small scale message distribution center”. All kinds of interesting and unofficial news were sent from there.

And the result was surprisingly great too. Most of the topics on Weibo related to #baizhiconcertstream were mostly be attributed to Meng Fan’s stream.

There weren’t many people watching his stream, a couple hundred thousand at most, but there were several video clips regarding the stream floating around on Weibo. They were all forwarded and shared a high number of times; that kind of number couldn’t be compared to his live viewer count.

If Bai Zhi didn’t tell Meng Fan of these posts, he’d still have no clue!

Meng Fan could only attribute these unexpected gains to his large presence.

The day of the concert was November 5th.

When Meng Fan’s morning class ended, he headed straight for the Hangzhou music hall. After dinner, they engaged in one final rehearsal, mostly to test out the venue’s equipment.

Around four in the afternoon, the concert began to get busy. Meng Fan started his makeup at 5:00 pm. Eh, at this hour? Meng Fan couldn’t oppose them since he knew how important makeup was to appear on TV.

Don’t assume male celebrities don’t wear makeup. In most cases, male celebrity makeup was even more… thicker than female celebrity makeup. It had nothing to do with being prissy, even if you were the wolf warrior you still had to wear makeup, just not that refined at all. It was mostly for the camera anyways.

Meng Fan’s makeup was rather simple too. It only deepened his facial lines, eyebrows, and added some highlights to the protruding areas of his face—yes, Meng Fan’s face at this stage had a figure! His double chin was gone, and looking closely, he kind of had a jawline!

Meng Fan’s current image was already very attractive in reality. Floating in the camera, because of his photogenic appeal, he was closing in on the borders of being handsome.

It was six in the afternoon when Qin Jiao drove up to the female dormitory and rolled down her window, speaking to the girls waiting for her. “Is everyone here? Four of you that’s perfect, it might be a squeeze through.”

Wu Tong, Wang Ya Nan, Wei Zhi Xue, and another girl embarked on the car as they drove towards the music hall.

Meng Fan had asked Bai Zhi for five concert tickets, giving three to his roommates, one to Wu Tong, and the last one to Qin Jiao.

Since the brazen mouthed Zhang Zhou Wei wanted to escape the library tonight, he had flaunted to Wang Ya Nan his concert ticket, telling her he’d be busy in the evening. Shortly after, his ticket came into the possession of Wang Ya nan.

Then, it took only one Wechat message from Wang Ya Nan to Wei Zhi Xue for Chen Da Qiang to also present his ticket on a silver platter.

As for Xing Ta Ge, his current girlfriend wasn’t acquainted with Wei Zhi Xue and Wang Ya Nan, but he’d given her his ticket anyways. Since Chen Da Qiang and Zhang Zhou Wei weren’t going, it was boring to go alone anyways.
