709: Chapter 709 Concert?

Happy times always pass by unnoticed. The group toured and chatted within the Huanxing Group headquarters, and before they knew it, the sky outside the window had gradually darkened.

The originally bright artificial sunlight slowly dimmed, and the city's neons and building lights lit up one after another, decorating the entire planet with shimmering colors. The unique nocturnal atmosphere of the Lese Star Cluster quietly spread.

Lu Dongni glanced at the night scene outside, then turned to look at the composed Li Yang beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke up with a hint of cautious anticipation.

"Division Commander Li, you've been busy all day. I wonder if you have any other plans for tonight?"

Li Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and gave a relaxed smile, his tone leisurely.

"Nothing in particular. Does Chairman Lu have something in mind?"

Now that he wasn't tied down by military duties or pressured by official business, he finally set aside his heavy burdens. Being in a state of complete relaxation for his vacation, he naturally had plenty of time.

Seeing that Li Yang didn't seem inclined to refuse, Lu Dongni's face immediately lit up with joy. He struck while the iron was hot and extended a warm invitation.

"It's like this: tonight, the top superstar under our Huanxing Group, Fang Ming, will be holding a solo concert at the Planet Center Stadium. It's the highest-level production in the entire Galaxy Cluster. I wonder if Division Commander Li would be interested in going to experience the entertainment atmosphere of our Lese Star Cluster?"

"Fang Ming? A top star?"

Li Yang softly repeated the name, and the memory of the dense, crowded throng in front of the Huanxing Group's main gate earlier that day instantly flashed through his mind.

At the time, he was still wondering what kind of person could attract such fanatical pursuit. Thinking about it now, eight or nine out of ten of those fans waiting at the entrance were likely there for this top superstar named Fang Ming.

At this thought, Li Yang couldn't help but smile, a hint of relaxed interest appearing in his eyes.

He rarely had the chance to truly experience such pure entertainment. Now that he was finally on vacation, he naturally didn't want to turn down such a kind offer.

So, he gave a hearty laugh and readily agreed.

"Since Chairman Lu has invited me so warmly, how could I refuse? It's a good chance to see what a top-tier concert in the Lese Star Cluster is actually like."

For him, vacation was about following his whims and going wherever it was lively. Since he had nothing to do tonight, he might as well relax completely and experience a life entirely different from military and political affairs.

"Comrade Lingyue, you..."

Li Yang turned his head toward Yu Lingyue, who was smiling beside him. He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by her cheerful voice.

"Since we're already here, we might as well take a full day off."

Yu Lingyue leaned over slightly and gave Li Yang a playful wink, her eyes filled with undisguised mischief and intimacy.

"I'll naturally be going along too. What? Does Comrade Li Yang think I'm annoying for tagging along?"

As she spoke, she intentionally stiffened her face, putting on a pained expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling upward.

As the Speaker of the Lese Star Cluster, she was usually occupied with a myriad of daily tasks, unable to escape from various documents, meetings, and approvals.

But at this moment, given the chance to relax and experience a pure entertainment atmosphere with Li Yang, she didn't care about her status or dignity at all.

As for who Fang Ming was, she wasn't actually familiar with him. She hadn't even heard of his works more than a few times; she had only heard the name in routine reports from her subordinates about the Huanxing Group, knowing he was a top star they were heavily promoting.

But since Li Yang was interested, she decided without hesitation to go along, wanting only to use this opportunity to spend more time with him.

Standing to the side, the female secretary watched her Speaker—who had completely shed her usual cold and rigid aura to become lively and playful—and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Speaker, oh Speaker, you're having such a blast chasing stars now, but don't forget you have a mountain of official business waiting to be handled. When the time comes to work overtime, it's going to be miserable.

As the secretary thought this, images of the office brightly lit and piled high with documents in the near future already began to surface in her mind.

But then she had another thought.

If the Speaker had to work overtime, then they, the secretaries, would naturally have to work overtime as well. There was no escape.

At this thought, the secretary couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, her face showing an expression of utter despair.

This scene happened to be caught by the observant He Dong.

He noticed the complex expression on the secretary's face—first helplessness, then a bitter laugh, and finally a solemn look of resignation.

He Dong couldn't help but lean in and ask curiously in a low voice.

"Hey, what's wrong? You look so gloomy. Is something on your mind?"

Hearing this, the secretary quickly reined in her emotions, forced a faint smile, and shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just... remembered something unpleasant."

She didn't dare say she was worried about having to work overtime with the Speaker later, so she could only give a vague excuse.

He Dong looked at her, then at Li Yang and Yu Lingyue, who were chatting happily ahead. He seemed to understand a bit, so he shrugged and didn't ask further.

He then turned around and went back to Pal's side to continue watching the fun.

...

Night completely enveloped the entire planet. The originally high artificial sunlight slowly dimmed, replaced by holographic neons and floating lights throughout the city.

Instead of falling into silence, the entire planet was lit up like a brilliant sea of stars, with colorful bands of light crisscrossing and decorating the night sky like a dream.

The stadium located in the core area of the city.

Inside this oval building, the largest in the entire Galaxy Cluster, every seat was already taken.

Over a million spectators packed the venue to the brim. The aisles, the corners of the stands, and even the viewing areas on the top floor were crowded with fans who had come to see their idol.

Countless people waved custom-made glow sticks.、 Support banner， The colorful sea of ​​light rippled gently with the rise and fall of the crowd.， Like a flowing galaxy。

The deafening cheers almost blew the roof off the stadium.

"Fang Ming! Fang Ming! Fang Ming!"

The rhythmic shouts, carrying fanatical emotions, echoed repeatedly in the air, forming a heart-pounding heatwave.

In the VIP exclusive area of the stadium stands, Li Yang's group sat quietly.
