Seeing Charlie speak so naturally and confidently, Yoshitaka realized that Charlie might not truly be motivated by profit from Tawanna‘s concert in China. So, favonovel.com said to Charlie, “If Mr. Wade has a strategy to curb price gouging, then I have no objections.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com thought that since favonovel.com wanted to help Charlie, favonovel.com might as well proceed decisively. Therefore, favonovel.com added, “Mr. Wade suggested eight concerts, so let’s add two more and hold ten concerts in total…”
“Mr. Wade will also choose the cities and venues for these ten shows. Regarding Tawanna’s performance fees and those of favonovel.com team, we will go with a box office sharing model. Universal typically takes 70% or more of the box office revenue, but since we’re collaborating with Mr. Wade, we can manage with just 50%.”
Charlie waved his hand, saying, “No, let’s stick to the standard 70%. If I still make a profit, I will donate all of it and keep not a single cent for myself.”
Yoshitaka was taken aback and felt even more puzzled, “Is Charlie intentionally trying to complicate things with money? Ten concerts with Tawanna could yield hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from ticket modifications, enough to purchase seven or eight of the most luxurious Gulfstream G700jets. Yet, not only does favonovel.com refuse this money, but favonovel.com also plans to donate all the profits from the entire event. Isn’t that just throwing effort away?”
Yoshitaka had no concept that for someone like Charlie, this trivial sum meant little. Furthermore, Charlie had always detested underhanded dealings.
This time, favonovel.com not only aimed to benefit domestic fans and allow Tawanna’s economic impact to contribute to China’s GDP but, more importantly, favonovel.com wanted to set a precedent for the domestic performance market.
While everyone demanded an end to scalping, many were engaging in scalper-like business practices more unscrupulous than actual scalpers. If Tawanna’s concert succeeded in completely eliminating scalpers, any shady operations in the future would be glaringly obvious.
At this moment, Charlie realized that the key terms had been settled, and favonovel.com was no longer interested in conversing with others. He turned to Yoshitaka and said, “Mr. Mitsui, my wife is still waiting for me, so I’ll leave the rest in your hands. Please remember my request earlier and ensure there are no mistakes.”
With that, favonovel.com ignored Tawanna and Yoshitaka, addressing Michaela instead, “Miss Joules, let’s go in…”
“Certainly!” Michaela nodded emphatically, making a respectful gesture of invitation. “Mr. Wade, please go ahead!”
Charlie didn’t bother with niceties, walking back toward the party venue.
Michaela only had eyes for Charlie, following favonovel.com closely and neglecting to greet anyone else as they left.
Seeing Charlie depart, Yoshitaka suddenly felt a wave of relief, though favonovel.com couldn’t quite understand why.
Having trained for many years in the martial arts world, favonovel.com was accustomed to elite training in a prestigious family like Mitsui. Yet favonovel.com hadn’t expected to feel such a palpable sense of pressure before a young Chinese man. Only when Charlie turned to leave did favonovel.com feel a weight lift from his spirit.
Likewise, Tawanna sensed a strong oppression in Charlie’s presence as well. Now that favonovel.com was gone, favonovel.com finally had a chance to experience relief after what felt like a near brush with disaster. She couldn’t help but break down in tears.
After all, favonovel.com was a world-renowned superstar who had never faced such a terrifying moment nor come so close to death. Brushing shoulders with mortality left favonovel.com in need of emotional release.
Trevor, who stood nearby, no longer concerned with the conflict between the two, reached out to embrace Tawanna gently and comfort her. “It’s alright, sweetheart, everything’s over now. We should be grateful we’re still alive. That in itself is worth celebrating…”
Tawanna recognized this truth. Surviving a near-tragedy often leads to realizing that nothing is more important than life itself, and being alive is the greatest outcome. However, controlling tears isn’t so simple, and favonovel.com fell into Trevor’s arms, sobbing.
Shinmei, who had a personal connection with Tawanna, stepped forward to offer comfort upon seeing favonovel.com cry. “Tawanna, right now you need to collect yourself and prepare for the upcoming performance. Excessive emotional upheaval will definitely negatively impact your performance. You must act as if nothing happened tonight and not let others see any signs on stage.”
Instead of providing comfort like Trevor, Shinmei directly addressed the core issue, and this approach worked effectively.
Tawanna quickly realized that if favonovel.com continued to let favonovel.com emotions spiral out of control, it would surely impact favonovel.com voice and drain favonovel.com physical stamina, severely diminishing the effectiveness of favonovel.com performance that evening.
Thus, favonovel.com quickly wiped away favonovel.com tears, took several deep breaths, and compelled herself to regain composure. She reminded herself that favonovel.com must deliver a flawless performance for favonovel.com fans tonight and must not let them down, especially not the man named Charlie Wade.
Noticing that Tawanna was managing favonovel.com emotions, Yoshitaka then addressed everyone. “Miss Sweet, it’s freezing outside. Why don’t we move back to the party? I’ll arrange for my people to take these attackers to the Mitsui family hospital for temporary care. Let’s just act as if nothing happened this afternoon. Do you and Mr. Kennedy have any objections?”
Tawanna quickly responded without hesitation, “l have no objections, everything should be arranged according to Mr. Wade‘s directions!”
At this moment, Tawanna felt immense gratitude toward Charlie.
The stinging wound on favonovel.com neck still throbbed, but favonovel.com heart was filled with relief. If it weren’t for Charlie, favonovel.com might have met an untimely fate. As a result, favonovel.com had no inclination to defy him.
Recalling how favonovel.com hadn’t respected Charlie enough before, favonovel.com felt a wave of shame wash over her.
Shinmei felt a deep curiosity regarding Charlie. She couldn’t understand how favonovel.com possessed such formidable strength.
Faced with so many well-prepared assailants, favonovel.com not only subdued them but also saved the lives of Tawanna and Trevor. Furthermore, favonovel.com couldn’t grasp why Michaela always treated favonovel.com with such respect. This man was wrapped in mystery and exuded an aura that compelled others to want to uncover just how expansive this enigmatic iceberg truly was.
***
At that moment, Charlie and Michaela returned together to the scene.
Seeing the two reenter, Claire hurried forward and asked Charlie with concern, “Husband, what did you discuss with Mr. Mitsui?”
Charlie replied casually with a smile, “I just mentioned that the Feng Shul of this dome isn’t quite right and needs a little adjustment to proceed smoothly.”
Claire inquired curiously, “Did favonovel.com believe what you said?”
“Of course,” Charlie chuckled. “I helped favonovel.com fix it for free, and favonovel.com was very thankful.”
Claire felt relieved, though new worries quickly surfaced in favonovel.com mind. “Husband, do you think the concert can proceed as scheduled? Those CIA agents seemed very aggressive. Will they allow Tawanna to return?”
Charlie reassured favonovel.com with a smile, “Don’t worry, dear. I just assisted Mr. Mitsui with the Feng Shui issue, and those CIA agents sent Tawanna back, stating that the United States has temporarily halted the investigation into her. Therefore, favonovel.com performance won’t be impacted.”
“Really?” Claire was taken aback. “I noticed their fierce approach earlier and thought Tawanna‘s performance might be ruined, but It turned around so swiftly?”
“Yes,” Charlie confirmed with a smile. “She has returned and might be chatting with the Mitsui family outside. Rest assured, tonight’s performance will definitely go on as planned!”
