The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: He’s Not Someone You Can Mess With

In fact, Jiang Pan Die had noticed Lin Tian early on, but she didn’t stop rehearsing because of it. She just gave Lin Tian a glance from afar, meaning he should rest for a while on the side.

Lin Tian got the message and nodded slightly from afar. Jiang Pan Die was not only beautiful but also sang sweetly, so waiting a little longer was no big deal.

Tong, who was sitting on the side ”supervising,” obviously noticed the exchange of glances between the two and felt it was necessary to have a talk with Jiang Pan Die. She had to keep her distance from that guy!

A song lasts only three to four minutes, and it ended quickly. Lin Tian, with a bright smile, applauded generously. Apart from him, everyone present was part of the staff, so he was the only one clapping.

Jiang Pan Die, smiling on stage, gave him a slight bow as a curtain call.

Then, holding the microphone, Jiang Pan Die said, ”Dear teachers and staff, let’s take a break now. We’ll continue in half an hour.”

Naturally, the staff had no objections to taking a break.

The Jiang Pan Die on stage was indeed captivating—not just her voice but also an indescribable feeling Lin Tian had towards her. Off-stage, the big star seemed more like the girl next door, much more real than her dazzling presence on stage, especially when she was hopping over like a little bunny.

As Jiang Pan Die came over, Zhou Mi’s first reaction was to look at Lin Tian’s face to see his reaction.

She saw Lin Tian’s face lit up with a smile, as if he was seeing the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Zhou Mi suddenly felt an inexplicable wave of sadness, but she hid it well, not showing a trace on her face.

”Pan Die is very beautiful, isn’t she?” Zhou Mi asked quietly.

”Yeah.” Lin Tian nodded. It was an undeniable fact. Anyone with a normal sense of aesthetics would agree Jiang Pan Die was a great beauty; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so sought after by many people.

”But still...” Lin Tian elongated his voice and tilted his head towards Zhou Mi, saying, ”You’re also quite beautiful. Sooner or later, you’ll be as famous as she is. No, I think you’ll be even more famous.”

Lin Tian was no longer the poor guy dumped by Li Li a year ago. He now knew what to say to please girls. Though it might seem like flirtation, it was better than being disliked by them.

When Zhou Mi heard the first part of Lin Tian’s words, her cheeks flushed slightly. Anyone would overthink when someone they secretly liked complimented their looks, right?

But hearing the latter part, Zhou Mi couldn’t help but find it laughable. This guy completely misunderstood her, though he still knew how to talk sweetly.

Jiang Pan Die walked up to them, smiling as she asked, ”What are you guys talking about? So happy?”

”Talking about you,” Lin Tian responded with a smile.

Jiang Pan Die blinked, looking curious, ”What were you talking about me?”

Zhou Mi suddenly felt a twinge in her heart.

”We were discussing what song you might want me to sing, since I sing so well. When your fans all start liking me, aren’t you going to be heartbroken?” Lin Tian joked. He and Jiang Pan Die were friends, so it was fine to joke harmlessly.

Ha! Zhou Mi and Jiang Pan Die couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”I never realized you’re such a thick-skinned person,” Jiang Pan Die said.

Zhou Mi chimed in, ”Neither did I. It’s as thick as a pig’s skin.”

Lin Tian helplessly pointed at his nose, ”Have you ever seen such a handsome pig?”

”Hahaha, no, I haven’t. Pan Die, should we rent a booth for Lin Tian at the zoo? Such a handsome pig would surely attract a lot of visitors,” Zhou Mi joked.

”I think that’s doable,” Jiang Pan Die nodded in agreement.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes repeatedly; his self-esteem was truly hurt.

This made the two girls laugh even more. Jiang Pan Die even reached out and pinched Lin Tian’s cheek, feeling its elastic texture while laughingly saying, ”It is a bit thick.”

...

On the side of the stage, a lean man was watching the three chatting and laughing, his face dark as if shadowed by a cloud. The can in his hand was already crushed.

”Tong, is that guy the special guest Pan Die mentioned?” Zhuo Ming asked coldly. Not only did he look unhappy, but his mood also was utterly terrible.

He had spent money to buy connections, and with his recent popularity, he finally got the chance to be a guest at Jiang Pan Die’s concert.

Besides gaining popularity, he wanted even more to enjoy the company of the fair lady; this was his true intention. Even though Zhuo Ming was now a big star, he was just a pretty boy with nothing but a face a year ago. Now, having the chance to interact with Jiang Pan Die, how could he not try?

Men have strong possessiveness, especially Zhuo Ming. Even though he hadn’t gotten Jiang Pan Die yet, he almost saw her as his woman. Even if she wasn’t now, she certainly would be in the future. With his looks and flirting skills, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to win her over?

Therefore, seeing Jiang Pan Die being so close with another man, even stroking his face, was something Zhuo Ming couldn’t tolerate.

”Hmm, haven’t you seen him in the news before? His fame is not smaller than yours,” Tong said casually.

Tong, who had been with Jiang Pan Die for two years, was now an A-list manager. Naturally, she had high standards. Despite Zhuo Ming’s high popularity, it wasn’t enough for her to cater to. The only reason she was chatting with him was that he had given her money, making him a rich fool in her eyes.

Tong was Jiang Pan Die’s manager, so she had a say in the concert. It was because she took Zhuo Ming’s money that she allowed him to appear in the concert.

”Of course I know, he’s a genius doctor, and he’s the big boss of Qiansimei,” Zhuo Ming said with a sour expression. He even went online specifically to check when Tong told him Lin Tian was attending the concert. He was a formidable opponent.

”Since you know, you better not provoke him. You can’t afford to. Do you know what Qiansimei was before they started their cosmetics company?” Tong asked.

This made Zhuo Ming pause, and he shook his head.

”Qiansimei used to be a gambling den where it’s said many Dark Wound Association members were involved. Now it’s just cleaned up, but it’s normal if you didn’t know. The matter was suppressed long ago.”

Zhuo Ming’s expression changed, ”Tong, are you kidding me?”

”Do you think I would joke about this with you?” Tong stated coldly, ”Even if they have no dirty tactics, just the status of a Qiansimei shareholder could ruin you. It’s a piece of advice from me: don’t provoke people like them if you can’t befriend them.”

Having said that, Tong didn’t care about Zhuo Ming’s reaction and just walked away.

Watching Tong’s departing back, Zhuo Ming spat lightly, cursing inwardly, ”The background is impressive, why are you acting all superior with me, bitch? Ridiculous!”
