Perfect Superstar.

"Loneliness is a celebration for one; celebration is loneliness for many."

'Lost Bar' is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the Sanlitun district of the Capital City. While it may fly under the radar for most, those in the show business community know it well. Despite its name, "Bar," it is actually a high-end nightclub, fundamentally different from your average watering hole.

Nightclubs like 'Lost Bar' offer guests not just drinks and food, but also a space filled with entertainment, creating a dreamlike experience that indulges the senses and leaves lasting memories. Sanlitun is home to several nightclubs, but none can match 'Lost Bar''s prestige and influence.

Access to 'Lost Bar' is exclusive, operating on a membership-only basis. Each evening, the parking lot outside is filled with luxury and sports cars. Ordinary brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW are a rarity here; instead, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and Porsches dominate the scene.

Shortly after 10 p.m., a sleek Porsche F17 glided into a VIP parking space. This four-door, fully electric luxury sports car was Porsche's latest model, boasting cutting-edge technology. 

With a range of over 300 kilometers per charge and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, the base model starts at a staggering 5 Million Yuan! Its most distinctive feature is its silence— like a cheetah in the jungle, stealthy yet swift, exuding a chilling sense of power.

Upon its release, the F17 quickly became a favorite among young billionaires, with orders booked until 2018. In all of Capital City, there are fewer than ten F17s on the road.

The sleek silver door opened, and five young people stepped out in unison, making their way toward the entrance of 'Lost Bar'. 

Leading the group was a man in his early twenties, about 1.75 meters tall, with a neat short haircut and an energetic demeanor. He wore a custom-made white outfit, including pants and shoes, with no visible brand labels.

"Good evening, Young Boss Li!" The doorman greeted, bowing respectfully as he opened the glass door.

The man in a white outfit handed over a red banknote and asked, "Have Sa Hao and the others arrived? What about Sister Fanny?"

The doorman skillfully pocketed the money and replied, "Master Sa and his group arrived half an hour ago. Miss Fanny came a little later; they're all inside now."

Li Mubai nodded and strode into the bar.

"Ah, look who's here!" Someone called out as soon as he entered. "Isn't this our Third Young Master Li Mubai?"

The teasing voice cut through the music, drawing attention from those nearby. "I heard you've restarted your band recently. Are you here tonight to embarrass yourself?"

The speaker was a young man of similar age, dressed in a black T-shirt. His trendy outfit, adorned with religious silver jewelry and three diamond earrings in his left ear, showcased the popular Japan-and-South-Korea-inspired fashion. 

Though shorter than Li Mubai, his nose-up attitude and mocking tone made him seem quite arrogant.

Li Mubai chuckled and replied, "Sa Hao, is my band getting in your way? You'd better focus on your darling streamer. Oh, and thanks for the 100,000 Yuan you lost to me last time. It came in handy for customizing my car's interior. Those lambskin mats feel amazing underfoot."

Sa Hao had lost a bet during the 'Whale TV' PK Theme Show when Li Mubai's supported contestant, Lu Chen, claimed second place. Li Mubai was well aware of the relationship between Sa Hao and his cherished streamer, Princess Yu.

"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting!" Sa Hao bristled, his expression akin to a cat whose tail had been stepped on. 

He glanced nervously at a woman approaching them and retorted disdainfully, "A mere 100,000 Yuan? That's pocket change— not even enough for a meal. Only you would treat it like treasure. Hmph!"

Ignoring him, Li Mubai walked straight toward the woman. "Sister Fanny!"

The woman, named Fanny, was stunning. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her complexion was flawless, and her Chanel summer outfit exuded elegance. Her enchanting eyes seemed to speak, radiating charm and allure.

"Why do you two start bickering the moment you see each other?" She scolded lightly. "If you keep this up, Xiaoqian and I will leave and let you two play by yourselves!"

Li Mubai immediately raised his hands in surrender. "I was wrong! I won't argue with that idiot again."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Sa Hao shot back, glaring at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai grinned, pretending not to notice Fanny's reproachful gaze, and greeted the young woman following Fanny: "Xiaoqian, long time no see! Since you're back, will you be going back to the United States anytime soon?"

The young woman, about 18 or 19 years old, wore striking red makeup, and her disheveled hair gave her a vampiric appearance. She could have been quite beautiful, but her overly mature and exaggerated style obscured her youthful charm, leaving a sense of disarray and a faint aura of decadence.

"Call me Chen Qian!" She said, rolling her eyes dramatically. "I'm not that familiar with you, but I can tell you that neither Fanny nor I plan on going back to that crappy place in America. Are you happy about that?"

"Very happy!" Li Mubai responded straightforwardly, his gaze lingering on Fanny with a hint of intensity.

Though Li Mubai was closer to Chen Qian in terms of their relationship, it was Fanny, the beautiful and gentle woman before him, who truly captured his heart.

Fanny blushed under his bold gaze, her charm growing even more enchanting.

"Damn it!" Sa Hao fumed, looking absolutely furious.

He had gone through all the trouble of organizing the party tonight at 'Lost Bar', hoping to impress Fanny, who had just returned from abroad. But now, Li Mubai had stolen the spotlight, and it was more than he could tolerate!

However, he quickly realized that fighting with Li Mubai would be foolish, so he had an idea. Suddenly, he leaped onto the T-shaped stage in the middle of the bar, signaling the band to stop performing.

Grabbing the microphone, he announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's party is in honor of Miss Fanny and Miss Chen Qian, who have just returned from overseas. Let's all raise our glasses and wish these two ladies eternal youth and beauty!"

"Cheers!" The crowd responded, raising their glasses in unison.

The members of 'Lost Bar' were all either wealthy or influential, and most were young. They had their own special circles in Capital City, and not just anyone could gain entry. This nightclub served as the entertainment hub for this elite group, often hosting wild parties. The shareholders were all big names in the show business community.

Sa Hao might not have a high status in the entertainment industry, but since he was hosting tonight's party, everyone showed him some form of respect.

Fanny smiled as she took a sip of her cocktail.

Seizing the opportunity, Sa Hao continued, "Originally, I had prepared many performances for the two ladies tonight, but since our Young Master Li Mubai has arrived, and we all know he's into playing in a band and brought his band members with him, why don't we have Young Li perform a song for Miss Fanny and Miss Chen Qian?"

"Yes!" Came the enthusiastic response from the crowd.

Most of the attendees were aware of the rivalry between Sa Hao and Li Mubai, and a few troublemakers in the crowd eagerly called out, hoping to see the two clash. Of course, they supported this idea!

Sa Hao grinned and added, "But what kind of person is Young Li? If he sings someone else's song, it would be boring and lack sincerity! So how about he sings one of his own original songs? What do you think?"

He had set the trap!

"Good!" The crowd cheered, their applause growing louder. It wasn't that Li Mubai was unpopular; rather, most of the guests were invited by Sa Hao and had better relations with him.

Fanny couldn't help but frown.

She knew Li Mubai liked to have fun, but he didn't possess much musical talent. Forcing him to sing his own original song would be setting him up for failure!

Just as she was about to speak up and stop it, Chen Qian clapped her hands and said, "Good, good, Li Mubai, you should get up there!"

All eyes in the room turned to Li Mubai, anticipation hanging in the air.
