Lin Junsu's arrival caused an eerie silence to fall over the entire concert venue.

Most of the fans were aware of the issues Xu Qingqiu had with her former company, and Lin Junsu's name often came up in connection with them. Even those who didn't know were quickly filled in by the people next to them, and soon everyone understood what was going on.

They simply never imagined the two would meet under these circumstances.

The concert was still in progress, so Xu Qingqiu didn't know the purpose of Lin Junsu's visit. She also didn't want to cause any complications, so she had to stick to the schedule and move forward.

"So now, Susu, as our lucky audience member, do you have any wishes?"

Lin Junsu, wearing a mask, slightly curved the corners of her mouth. She zoned out for a moment before recovering and said with a smile, "If it's a wish, then I'd like you to treat me to a meal. Is that okay?"

A meal?

Xu Qingqiu was taken aback. Apart from a few company dinners when Lin Junsu and her group first joined, they had never really sat down for a private meal. So Lin Junsu's request at this moment was somewhat intriguing.

Is there something she wants to discuss? Or does she have something else on her mind?

Given the time and place, it wasn't suitable to ponder too long, yet she still agreed.

"Of course. We'll get in touch later."

With that, this round of the interactive segment had essentially come to an end.

Next, Xu Qingqiu continued to sing her songs according to the previous plan. As the show gradually got back on track, more and more people in the venue began to sing along, their voices carrying far outside.

"Okay, now, I have a surprise for everyone!"

Having changed outfits again, Xu Qingqiu returned to the stage. Seeing her dressed in a somewhat innocent yet vibrant casual outfit, the audience began to speculate.

"What's the surprise? Is it a prize draw?"

"I don't know. Wouldn't we know if we checked the schedule?"

"Let me see... The last song was "Song of the wind," so next should be... "Teenager," perhaps?"

"That doesn't sound right. She said it's a surprise, so maybe it's not listed?"

"Of course it's not listed. It wouldn't be a surprise if it were."

"Right! No, wait! Look here, this spot is empty, right? Could it be that this empty spot is the surprise? Look, they've even left the time blank."

"Impossible. That must be part of the layout design. Look, there are several other blank spots later on. Surely they can't all be surprises? See, there are several blank lines."

"That doesn't make sense. I think it's this one; it's just not written down. Otherwise, how do you explain the time thing?"

"The time isn't written specifically, just an approximate slot. Maybe you're overthinking it?"

"Well, okay then..."

While the audience continued to guess, Xu Qingqiu had already finished her preparations on stage.

"Alright, I won't keep you all in suspense any longer. Coming up is one of my new songs."

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience erupted with excitement.

"Wow, a new song!"

"That's fantastic! We actually get a new song?!"

"I told you it would be worth it! HAHA! I get to hear a new song early. This must be a premiere, right?"

This question was just raised when an audience member boldly shouted out.

"President Xu, is this a premiere?!"

Xu Qingqiu, standing on stage, had already heard the question from the front rows. She nodded cheerfully and said, "Yes, it's a premiere. And not just a premiere—this song is also the theme song for a TV series."

"A theme song?"

"What TV series?"

"Wow, has President Xu sung another theme song?"

"Why did she stop? She hasn't even said the name of the TV series yet."

Xu Qingqiu didn't continue. Speaking more now would be useless; it was far better to let the song make an impact after she performed it.

Ignoring the ongoing wave of questions from the audience, she nodded, and the music instantly started.

"Taking off my shoes and dancing barefoot like a moonwalk"

"I smile, yet you still act cool"

"Sun-baked roads are just the right temperature of youth"

"Warm and comfortable"

The strong rhythm and rapid-fire lyrics caught most of the audience off guard, starting suddenly.

"Wow, that's a fast tempo!"

"A fast song! It's really a fast song?!"

"This rhythm is amazing! It feels so lively!"

"My legs have started tapping already! I had no idea Xu Qingqiu could sing this style of music."

In fact, Chu Tian had deliberately chosen this song for her; he didn't want Xu Qingqiu to be limited in her style.

Xu Qingqiu has a wide vocal range, and her vocal condition is excellent, with high adaptability. Her vocal tone is also very distinctive. It could be said that she can sing most styles available on the market.

But previously, whether it was her choice or the company's positioning, Xu Qingqiu had primarily sung ballads.

Gradually, the public's perception of her solidified, causing many peers to subconsciously regard Xu Qingqiu as the biggest rival in the market for gentle love songs.

This was not what Chu Tian wanted. To become a great singer, one could generally forgo being an all-rounder, because being an all-rounder often meant being a jack of all trades but master of none.

Previously, many singers specialized in one area. One reason was that limited resources genuinely restricted their ability to fully express themselves across various styles. Another reason was the lack of energy to explore more fields, and also entrenched public perceptions.

Most singers only think about transforming their style or trying new things after they've become famous.

Previously, Xu Qingqiu would also have needed to take this path. But now, with Chu Tian's help, Xu Qingqiu's development speed could be exponential. Following the old, slow, and steady approach would now be too slow.
