Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 566: Chapter 255: Love Set on Liang Feng, A Whopping Profit of 80 Million! (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

At nine o’clock in the evening, everyone gathered for a meal at the campsite, as usual.

Since everyone had arrived after dark today, there was no possibility of going hunting.

Xu Zhong had brought some food and drinks from the local military station. Although it wasn’t as lavish as the spread Zhang Jingdong had previously organized, there was still meat and alcohol.

As everyone was heading back tomorrow morning, so tonight, everyone was particularly uninhibited.

Apart from eating and drinking, many people volunteered to perform for the group.

And then, as was the habit developed from time in the military, it quickly turned into a talent competition between different teams.

At that moment, following a male team member of Liu Yi’s group winning thunderous applause with a performance of ”Traveling in All Directions,” it was Liang Feng’s team’s turn to put on a performance.

It was then that someone said: ”Zhang Jingdong, can you sing? Why don’t you give it a go?”

And suddenly, all eyes in their group turned to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong smirked, ”Of course, I can sing, I’m on a professional level. Singing here would be like bullying them!”

Upon hearing this, everyone except Shu Ran thought he was just boasting, and a round of laughter ensued.

”We are all for bullying right now; come on, show us what you’ve got!”

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, ”No, the point is, singing without any reward just isn’t interesting!”

”What reward do you want then? How about letting Shu Ran stay in your tent again tonight? We’ll continue to endure your blissful singing, okay?”

Zhang Jingdong shook his head again, ”That’s something that’s already settled, what kind of reward is that!”

At this point, one of the female team members said, ”How about this... we all keep you company along with Teacher Shu tonight? Haha... but first, you’d have to get Teacher Shu’s consent!”

The other female team members burst into laughter at once.

”I can do it!”

”So can I!”

...

Just as things were about to get out of control, Liang Feng said sternly, ”Enough with this rubbish!”

”Zhang Jingdong, I know what reward you’re after, but to get it, you can’t just sing a song, you must help our team win this talent competition!”

Zhang Jingdong didn’t expect Liang Feng to say that, and from her eyes at that moment, he rarely detected a hint... of desire.

It made him think back to the look she had given him today when he had helped her to win the championship.

So he was inspired and said casually, ”No problem, just watch!”

While everyone was curious about the reward they were discussing, they refocused their attention as Zhang Jingdong truly stepped to the center of the stage, gearing up to watch his performance.

To tell the truth, they were all somewhat nervous at this point because they really hoped Zhang Jingdong would deliver a spectacular performance.

But their common sense told them this was unlikely; after all, fate is usually fair – granting you this but not that.

Zhang Jingdong looked so handsome, was so skilled in martial arts, drove so excellently, and even his cooking was top-notch; one could say he was practically perfect. So if he could sing as incredibly as he claimed, it would almost be like defying heaven.

Yet they all knew that Zhang Jingdong wasn’t someone who just bragged; every time he boasted, he would prove himself with his abilities.

Just like this time, as he had said before, he had helped the team win the final championship of the training exercise.

Thus, they were filled with anticipation for Zhang Jingdong’s upcoming performance.

As for Liang Feng, she was also very curious at this point, so she couldn’t help but ask Shu Ran, ”Can he really sing?”

Shu Ran responded with a mysterious smile: ”You’ll find out soon enough!”

Seeing Shu Ran’s expression, Liang Feng guessed the answer and grew excited with expectation.

Meanwhile, Liu Yi and his group were mostly looking forward to seeing Zhang Jingdong make a fool of himself.

The person from their group who had sung earlier had been a student at Jiangdu Music College before joining the military, which was why he had such a good singing voice. Therefore, they felt that even if Zhang Jingdong could sing, he would not be a match for their own side.

And if he couldn’t sing at all, they would mock him mercilessly to pay him back for stealing the championship this time.

Zhang Jingdong originally intended to sing the sentimental song ”Blessing” with Jacky Cheung’s style, but then suddenly thought that while it might work at the end, it was inappropriate to sing it now.

Since the song performed by Liu Yi’s group was the energetic and pleasant ”Traveling in All Directions,” singing ”Blessing” would feel too effeminate by comparison.

So he made up his mind: ”I’m going to try for a prize!”

”Host has accumulated 40 points of goodwill from the target character, meeting the conditions for a draw. You may proceed with the draw.”

”Would the host like to start the draw?”

”Yes.”

”Drawing begun...”

”Prize one: Han Lei’s singing ability.”

”Prize two: Sun Nan’s singing ability.”

”Prize three: Liu Huan’s singing ability.”

”I choose prize one.”

”Prize redeemed.”

Zhang Jingdong then loudly announced, ”Now I shall perform for you the ending theme song of ’Kangxi Dynasty’: ’Borrowing 500 Years from Heaven.’”

After a brief moment to prepare, he began to sing:

Along the rolling hills and soft curves of the mountains and rivers

Releasing my horse into the Central Plains, the northern regions, and the Jiangnan

Facing the ice blades and snow swords, the companion through wind and storms

Cherish the golden years bestowed upon me by the heavens

...

In Zhang Jingdong’s memory, the previous life’s ”Borrowing 500 Years from Heaven” had soared in popularity due to its grand lyrics and as being the theme song of the ’Kangxi Empire’, almost universally loved by Huaxia men, particularly Huaxia soldiers of all ages.
