You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 280 The Killer Move

After hanging up Zhou Mingzhe's call, Lu Ran sat on the sofa for a while, going over the whole plan in her mind.

Although League of Legends has already been downloaded, now is not the right time to release it.

Lu Ran plans to wait until next month to find a suitable time to take it out.

On the other hand, the Super Girl finals provided a ready-made stage, with no shortage of popularity, attention, or buzz.

But with the whole country's attention still focused on the disaster area, it would be inappropriate to hold the finals at this time if it were just a regular singing competition to select a champion.

However, if the finals are combined with disaster relief, things become different.

Using the show's popularity to raise funds for disaster relief, and leveraging the stage's influence to convey hope, elevates this program to another level.

As he was thinking, he heard the sound of a key turning at the door.

Shen Yuege pushed open the door and came in carrying a vegetable basket. The basket contained ribs, green vegetables, tomatoes, and a box of strawberries.

"Awake?" She changed into her slippers, walked into the living room, glanced at Lu Ran, and then her gaze fell on the old cell phone in his hand.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.

Lu Ran felt like a student caught using their phone in class. She instinctively wanted to turn it off, but then felt too guilty about doing so.

"Um..." he coughed lightly, "I was just checking the news."

Shen Yuege didn't say anything. She put the vegetable basket on the coffee table, sat down opposite him, and looked at him with a pout.

"What did you see?" she asked.

Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Lu Ran simply put his phone aside and confessed honestly, "I saw TUTU's data. Daily active users have dropped to 62 million."

Shen Yuege sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"I knew you couldn't stay still." Shen Yuege handed him a dragon fruit. "Brother Zhou specifically told me not to let you look at your phone. He said you'd get anxious if you saw the data."

"Brother Zhou is worried too," Lu Ran said, "but some things don't disappear just because you don't look at them."

"So what are you planning to do?" she asked.

"I've come up with a plan, but right now, I think we should focus on holding the Super Girl finals first," Lu Ran said. "Let's do it next weekend."

Shen Yuege frowned: "So rushed? Your leg isn't healed yet, is it?"

"I don't need to use my legs," Lu Ran interrupted her. "I'm not an athlete; I can just sit on the judges' panel and speak. Besides—"

He paused, then looked at Shen Yuege earnestly: "This final is not just a competition. I want to turn it into a charity performance to raise funds for disaster relief."

Shen Yuege was stunned for a moment.

"benefit performance?"

"I guess so," Lu Ran said, getting more and more excited. "All the revenue from the title sponsor, sponsors, and GG Entertainment in the finals will be donated to the disaster area. The ticket revenue will also go to charity. The songs the contestants perform can be some inspiring ones. The judges' comments can also be guided in a more positive direction."

"And..." He picked up his phone and opened TUTU's fundraising page. "This page can still be used. On the day of the finals, we'll display a fundraising QR code in the live stream, so viewers can donate while watching the game. I've calculated it; the estimated viewership for the finals is at least 30 million. Even if only one-tenth of them donate, that's still 30 million if each person donates an average of ten dollars."

As Shen Yuege listened, her eyes gradually brightened.

"That's a great idea," she said. "And with the whole country focused on the disaster area right now, it's the perfect time to hold a charity performance."

"Not only is it good," Lu Ran laughed, "I also wrote a new song, which I plan to perform at the end of the finals."

Shen Yuege raised an eyebrow: "Would you like to sing?"

"It's not just me. I'm gathering all the top ten contestants, as well as all the superstars from Star Shine, Star Glory, Star Moon, and Myth Entertainment, to sing this song together," Lu Ran said confidently.

"Everyone?" Shen Yuege looked him up and down. "There have never been so many singers singing together before, and they are all quite influential singers."

"That's right. This time, I'm going to let the other companies know what happens when they offend me, Lu Ran." Lu Ran already had a plan in mind. He knew that after this event, he would be in an invincible position. "Besides, this song is something I specially prepared for the disaster area."

Given Lu Ran's previous influence, this song couldn't be used to its fullest potential, so it was kept as a trump card. But now, it's the perfect time to bring it out.

Shen Yuege looked at him and suddenly felt that his confidence made him seem so tall and imposing.

"Okay, let's do it then." She stood up. "I'll call the production team and tell them to get ready."

"Yuege," Lu Ran called out to her.

"Um?"

"sorry."

Shen Yuege was taken aback: "Why are you apologizing?"

"I promised you I'd take good care of myself, but I still couldn't resist." Lu Ran smiled sheepishly. "Do you think I'm being disobedient?"

Shen Yuege looked at him, then walked back and sat down next to him.

"Lu Ran," she said softly, "do you know why I don't let you touch your phone?"

"Afraid I'll worry?"

"No," Shen Yuege shook her head, "It's because of you. Once you see a problem, you want to solve it, and once you start, you can't stop. Your leg isn't healed yet. If you keep working day and night like before, when will it ever get better?"

Lu Ran did not speak.

"But I also know," she continued, "that letting you do absolutely nothing is almost like putting you in jail. You're the kind of person who can't stand being idle; you'd rather be idle."

She paused, then took his hand.

"So, do what you want. But there are two conditions—"

Which two?

"First, no staying up late. You must be in bed before 11 p.m. every day."

"OK."

"Secondly, you're not allowed to wander off. If you need to go to the company, I'll drive you. If you need to go to a site, I'll push your wheelchair. But if you dare to run around on your crutches—"

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lu Ran read the rest of the sentence in her eyes—you're doomed.

"I promise," he held up three fingers, "I'll absolutely obey."

Shen Yuege couldn't help but laugh at his confident expression.

"Alright, stop joking." She stood up. "I'm going to make a call. You stay put and don't move around."

"Yes, ma'am."
