At this moment, the concert venue was in complete uproar.
Two top-tier female singers from East and West performing together on the same stage was almost unprecedented, delivering an enormous surprise to the audience.
When their duet ended, the fans’ applause and screams lasted for several minutes.
At this point, Tawana took Gu Qiuyi’s hand, and the two walked to the center of the stage, then Tawana bowed slightly to the crowd, smiling, “Next, I’ll hand the stage over to Qiuyi, I hope you all enjoy her musical charm.”
With that, she gave Gu Qiuyi a light hug, then moved to the lift platform, descending slowly amid the applause of tens of thousands of fans.
Gu Qiuyi then began her first song of the night.
As Tawana descended from the lift to the stage’s base, a swarm of staff immediately surrounded her.
The major mishap at the opening had everyone on edge, even now, many of those responsible were still nervous, unsure how Tawana would deal with them.
The stage director and equipment engineer approached her first, both anxious and ashamed.
The stage director spoke up, “I’m sorry, Miss Sweet, it’s my fault for not catching all the hazards in time.”
The equipment engineer added guiltily, “Miss Sweet, all the equipment checks were my responsibility, this winch failure is entirely on me, my work wasn’t thorough, I’ll take full accountability, I’m so sorry!”
Tawana had no patience to hash out blame with them, her only thought was to find Ye Chen right away, so she said to them, “You both get one major strike, if something like this happens again, I’ll fire you all.”
The two felt as if they’d been granted amnesty, quickly thanking her respectfully.
For their line of work, being on Tawana’s team was the best gig in the world, her global concerts were frequent, and each one had a high profit margin, meaning they earned more the harder they worked, their bonuses far exceeding what they’d get with other artists, no one wanted to lose this job.
With Tawana giving them a major strike, it meant they couldn’t afford another mistake if they wanted to keep their positions, forcing them to give their all in the future.
Tawana had no more time to waste with the staff, she exited through the under-stage passage, emerging on the right side of the stage, and began searching for Ye Chen.
He happened to be there watching Gu Qiuyi’s performance, unable to contain her excitement, she hurried over and said respectfully, “Mr. Ye, thank you so much for earlier!”
Ye Chen smiled at her, “No need to be so polite, I’m part of your staff for these China concerts after all, you’re my employer, it’s my duty to keep you safe.”
Tawana nodded gently, her eyes brimming with tears.
Up on that high platform, she’d been genuinely panicked and tense, terrified that the concert would flop right at the start.
When Ye Chen somehow severed her safety rope, she’d been gripped by fear.
But then, remembering Ye Chen’s vast abilities, his steady reliability, and how he could turn any danger into safety, her nerves gradually settled.
By the time she stepped onto the stage, her gratitude and admiration for him had reached its peak.
Right now, she wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, sob her heart out, and kiss him recklessly, the urge so strong she nearly acted on it several times.
