It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Chapter 1317 Success!

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely succeed.” Li Yinfei’s ambition was as strong, or maybe even stronger than her manager. Major? She wasn’t satisfied with this rank. She wanted to be a colonel or a senior colonel if she could. That was the only way she could leave the Li family and become the real Li Yinfei.

“That’s good.” The manager was elated at Li Yinfei’s reply. He gambled his entire future on Li Yinfei. If Li Yinfei succeeded, he succeeded. If she failed, he would fail too. They were on the same boat.

“Okay. It’s time for your performance.” The manager prompted Li Yinfei when he saw the last performer coming down from the stage.

Li Yinfei took a deep breath to calm herself. She knew that there would be no problem with her performance but the number of participants for this ceremony was still nerve-wracking. She even heard that some of the most influential people in the military would appear in the audience too. Thus, it wasn’t just about not making mistakes. It was about being perfect.

The automatic platform rose slowly. The stage was dark.

Li Yinfei’s dreamlike voice echoed in the darkness. It was like a voice from heaven consoling the souls of everyone present.

“Tranquil Night.” Once the familiar tune was heard, everyone watching the performance, whether they were watching it live or from the virtual world, knew who the performer was. This was the song that turned Li Yinfei into a nationwide star. It was a song to console the sorrow on the battlefield.

The first key made everyone quiet. They listened to the song silently. When it entered the intermezzo, the stage lit up, and Li Yinfei’s beautiful face appeared in everyone’s gaze. They almost forgot to breathe.

“Goddess Li, Goddess Li.” All the soldiers started cheering crazily. They weren’t strict and rule-abiding soldiers at this moment. They were just diehard fans of Li Yinfei. They wanted to use their cheers to portray their love for her.

Li Yinfei smiled lightly when she saw the people below going crazy because of her. Her smile was elegant, dignified, and a little distant, as though she was beyond their reach.

Soon, Li Yinfei ended her remarkable performance. She waved at the audience as the platform lowered her to the ground. She returned to the backstage.

“That performance was amazing, my princess.” Her manager welcomed her back excitedly. He wanted to hug her to express his happiness.

Li Yinfei frowned and raised her right hand to stop her manager.

Her manager felt that he was being too excited so he stopped in his tracks and didn’t dare to get close to her.

“What do you think?” Li Yinfei walked over and whispered.

“That was your most perfect performance. I believe that everyone is mesmerised by you,” the manager replied exaggeratedly.

“That’s good.” Li Yinfei’s smile got brighter. “We just need to wait for the notification from the performance department now.” She had done everything she could. She hoped that the military would give her a satisfactory answer. Li Yinfei lowered her hands and clenched them tightly. This was her only change of breaking free from the Li family’s control. She mustn’t miss it.

“We have to wait for a few days. The military is currently busy with the rewards for the divisions.” The military would only care about them once they finished dealing with their own people.

“Let’s wait. I can afford to wait,” Li Yinfei said coldly. She wouldn’t leave Planet General until she got her military rank.

“But, you have a performance scheduled soon.” The manager gave a bitter smile.

Li Yinfei turned her head immediately and stared coldly at the manager. “Didn’t I ask you to cancel all my performances in this period of time?”

“I wasn’t the one who accepted this performance.” The manager looked helpless. He couldn’t decide on Li Yinfei’s activities solely as some activities were still arranged by the Li family.

“The Li family?!” Li Yinfei gritted her teeth. “I knew that those old fogeys won’t let go of me that easily.”

“Yes.” The manager nodded. In reality, he was controlled by the Li family too.

“When is it? What event is it?” Li Yinfei was helpless. She just hoped that the event was at a later date so that she could stay on Planet General longer. She would be anxious if she didn’t get her military rank. She felt that once she left Planet General, she would have a harder time getting her rank.

“Three days later, the opening ceremony of Shilin on Planet Huzhou.” There wasn’t much time left. Based on the flight time, they needed to leave by 10 pm tomorrow night. If not, they wouldn’t be able to reach in time. Fortunately, they had their own starship. If they took normal passenger ships, they would need to leave now.

“Damn it.” Li Yinfei cursed softly. She only had one day left. There was no way she would be able to receive her military rank within one day. She could only contact the performance department again after the performance and arrange for a time to take her rank.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, she thought of something. “Planet General has been on lockdown recently. Will they accept our application to leave?” If they rejected her application, she would have a valid reason for staying here. The Li family couldn’t do much about it.

The manager’s eyes brightened. He understood Li Yinfei’s thoughts. “Okay, I’ll go and apply first. If we can’t leave, I’ll contact the Li family and ask them to reject the performance invitation.”

The manager quickly left to apply to leave Planet General. The reason was because Li Yinfei had other performances to attend to.

Li Yinfei wasn’t the only one who applied to leave Planet General. Many representatives from the various divisions were preparing to leave within the next two days too.

The military had always been monitoring the spaceport with scrutiny. When they received all the endless applications, they started wondering if they should accept them.

Ling Lan would mostly make use of this opportunity to leave Planet General. The military wanted to prevent her from mingling into the crowd.

“Limit the number of starships leaving everyday. Take special notice of those that have a good relationship with the Ling family.”

“But there are so many starships. If we limit them, we will need a month before everyone leaves. They are all important figures of the various divisions and independent armies. They can’t leave their positions for too long.”

“We can limit for the first few days. Only allow one to two suspicious starships to leave every day. We’ll focus on monitoring the suspicious ones.”

“Report. We just received a new application to leave Planet General. It’s from Goddess Li Yinfei.” Someone saw the new application and quickly reported to his senior officer.

“Why does she need to leave so early?” The senior officer was surprised.

“They have a performance scheduled three days later on Planet Huzhou.”

“When was the performance arranged?”

“Three months ago,” The staff member looked at the time stated on the schedule and replied.

“Troublesome,” the senior officer replied in frustration.

“Do we accept it?”

“How many people are there?”

“Besides Li Yinfei and her manager, there are three staff members and eight bodyguards. 13 people in total.”

“That’s quite little. It’ll be easy for us to check them. Let them leave.” The senior officer felt that this wasn’t a huge problem since they had very little people and everyone’s identity was already recorded. There was almost no chance for them to sneak someone out.

“Yes. We succeeded.” Li Lanfeng had been watching over these people for a long time. After getting what he wanted, he silently left the virtual world and returned to the real world.
