But now with Blair and Tinsor’s friendship that had blossomed within a short period of time, the tensed relationship between the Nolans and the Jaquins seemed to show signs of waning.
Of course, this was all thanks to Ashlyn, who beat up the two and ended up converting them into her fanboys.
After that round of beating, both Blair and Tinsor somehow found each other interesting companions to have fun with other than fanboying over Ashlyn together...
Right then, the lights of the Concert Hall dimmed, and the two emcees went on stage.
The duo consisted of a man and a woman, of whom both were the most famous emcees of Lake City TV Station.
After a brief opening note and a round of congratulatory praises for National Day, the female emcee announced excitedly, “For the first performance, we shall invite the most famous idol pop star of the country, Jonathan Quickton to perform the song ‘Peace and Glory’!”
The spectators were all stunned in their places and failed to react even after the emcees have left the stage.
“Jonathan Quickton?”
“Jonathan Quickton is opening the Gala?”
“And he is performing the famous Peace and Glory! I heard that song was composed by an unknown composer five years ago to praise the glory of our country. But the said composer has never revealed himself all these years. Many have speculated the composer to be Snowstorm, but Snowstorm himself has never clarified this speculation around him.”
“Yes, indeed! Although Peace and Glory is a song from five years ago, it is always performed on such patriotic occasions. But now... Jonathan is singing that song? Isn’t he an idol singer who sings pop songs? An idol like him singing a patriotic song? Goodness, that sounds weird!”
“Can he even sing that song well? His image doesn’t match that song at all!”
The spectators began to chatter in their seats after recovering from the surprise.
Even the VIPs were surprised by the announcement.
The voice of the director of Lake City TV Station trembled as he spoke, “How on earth did Ms. Berry get Jonathan to perform in our program? This is Jonathan Quickton we’re talking about! So many TV stations have tried to invite him to perform at a very high price, yet he turned them all down! And now he actually came here?”
The director grabbed Mr. Field’s arms in excitement. “Mr. Field, can you pinch me? I’m not dreaming, right?”
“Why are you getting all excited? It’s just Jonathan Quickton!” Mr. Field never paid attention to the happenings in the world of showbiz, so he couldn’t get the director’s excitement over Jonathan’s presence.
