Chapter 3397

Seeing Gu Qiuyi's call, Ye Chen felt very happy inside.

During this period, Gu Qiuyi has been holding her own global farewell concert tour around the world and has not yet returned to the country.

The reason she is working so hard is that after the global farewell concert tour ends, she will completely retire from the entertainment industry, and this will also be her final concert tour.

Ye Chen answered the call and happily asked: "Nannan, it's been a while since you last called me."

On the phone, Gu Qiuyi said with great excitement: "Ye Chen brother, I have already boarded the plane and am preparing to return to Yanjing!"

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Where are you?"

"In Lisbon!" Gu Qiuyi said: "I have only one final farewell concert left in my plan; after it ends, I will completely retire from the entertainment industry!"

Ye Chen asked her: "Where are you planning to hold your final concert?"

"Yanjing!"

Gu Qiuyi said: "I thought about it, the first stop of the concert tour is Jin Ling, and the last stop is Yanjing—one is the city where you currently live, the other is the city where we grew up together as children; this makes it more meaningful!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Nannan, you're thoughtful—when is the Yanjing concert?"

Gu Qiuyi excitedly said: "It's also on February 2nd—your birthday!"

Ye Chen laughed: "We've just entered the twelfth lunar month; there are still about two months left."

"Exactly!" Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "I plan to return and not do any work during this time, just stay with my parents peacefully. Ye Chen brother, when will you have time to come to Yanjing? My parents have also been missing you and keep mentioning you."

Ye Chen laughed: "I'm also on a plane right now, preparing for takeoff, and I'm also heading to Yanjing—only I'm closer, so I'll arrive in Yanjing in just over an hour."

"Ah?" Gu Qiuyi exclaimed: "Ye Chen brother, you're going to Yanjing right now?! What are you going there for? How long will you stay?"

Ye Chen said: "I'll probably stay for about seven or eight days in total. You should know who Tawana Svet is, right?"

"I know." Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "She's a top-tier global female singer, and also a singer-songwriter—I really like her. I even specially applied for tickets to her concert, but I didn't get selected in the lottery. Ye Chen brother, you're not accompanying your sister-in-law to her concert, are you?"

Ye Chen laughed: "No, I now have an identity—I'm the feng shui supervisor for Tawana Svet's China tour concert, following her team to handle preparations. They call it preparation work, but actually there isn't much to do."

Gu Qiuyi said delightedly: "That's wonderful! Will Ye Chen brother come to my place when you're here?"

"Of course." Ye Chen agreed without hesitation: "After you land, I'll come to the airport to pick you up, and then we'll go back together to see Uncle Gu and Auntie."

"Great!" Gu Qiuyi said: "I'll arrive in Yanjing tomorrow morning—I deliberately chose this time to avoid the paparazzi. If it's convenient for you, Ye Chen brother, please come to the airport to pick me up."

"Good!" Ye Chen said: "I'll go to the Ye family residence to see my grandfather first, and stay there tonight. When you arrive, let me know—I'll come to pick you up."

"Wonderful, see you tomorrow morning!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone, and the plane had already begun accelerating on the runway for takeoff.

Tawana looked at him curiously and asked: "Mr. Ye, may I boldly ask—who were you just talking to on the phone? It sounded like the other person also plans to hold a concert in Yanjing?"

Ye Chen laughed: "It's my younger sister—she's also a singer, though perhaps not as famous as you."

"Is that so?" Tawana, hearing she was a sister, relaxed and quickly asked: "What is Mr. Ye's sister's name? I might have heard of her."

"Gu Qiuyi—have you heard of her?"

"Gu Qiuyi……" Tawana thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "It sounds familiar—perhaps she's the most famous female singer in China? She held a concert tour in the United States not long ago."

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded: "That's her."

Tawana exclaimed: "So she's Mr. Ye's sister—I remember media reports saying she was the Chinese singer with the highest box office in American concerts, and that she's about to retire from the music industry—is that right?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said: "Her farewell concert tour only lacks the Yanjing stop to be completed."

Tawana asked again: "I just heard you say you're going to the airport to pick her up—does that mean she's also returning to Yanjing?"

"Exactly." Ye Chen said: "She happens to be coming back to rest for two months."

Tawana's mind became active, and after a moment she asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, may I have the honor of inviting Miss Gu to be a guest performer at my Yanjing concert?"

"A guest performer?" Ye Chen asked, somewhat surprised: "Why would you suddenly think of inviting her as a guest?"

Tawana smiled: "Mr. Ye, normally concerts do invite guest performers, and usually they invite locally well-known singers to serve as guests, who typically appear during the middle segment of the concert. However, I decided to come to China for this performance only after meeting you in Japan, so the planning was rather rushed, and I didn't have time to coordinate with local Chinese singers' resources. Miss Gu is very well-known among Chinese people, and she is from Yanjing. If I could invite her to be a guest performer at my Yanjing concert, it would also be a great honor for me."

Tawana said this because she had heard that Gu Qiuyi is Ye Chen's sister, and she wanted to do Gu Qiuyi a favor.

Normally, many singers want to be guest performers at her concerts—after all, her popularity is extremely high, and being able to perform on her stage is equivalent to giving the singer themselves an advertisement.

However, she was also uncertain whether Gu Qiuyi, who is about to retire from the music industry, would still be interested in performing on her stage, so she decided to lower her status and proactively invite Gu Qiuyi.

Earlier, Ye Chen had heard Gu Qiuyi sigh on the phone about failing to get tickets to Tawana's concert, and then Tawana suddenly thought of inviting her as a guest performer.

Ye Chen guessed that since Gu Qiuyi likes Tawana so much, she would certainly not refuse this invitation, and would surely be very happy about it.

After all, this would not only allow her to see Tawana's concert, but more importantly, the two could perform together on stage, and they could also have face-to-face communication backstage.

So he said to Tawana: "When I see her, I'll convey your invitation and see if she's willing."

Saying that, Ye Chen then asked her: "Your concert starts in two days—if we invite her now, is there still time for rehearsal?"

"No problem." Tawana laughed: "Professional singers' stage abilities are already solid—they don't need advance preparation. Even if her band members can't make it in time, she definitely has a large number of performance programs already prepared. These programs are tied to the songs—each song's accompaniment, harmonies, stage lighting layout, and background screen visuals have already been rehearsed many times and are very mature. The simplest method is for her to pick four or five songs, send us the program files to our concert director, and then she can just go on stage and sing. If she can sing my songs, we can also arrange a duet."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen laughed and said: "Since it's so simple, I believe she should agree!"
