Accompanied by Sylvia’s ethereal and clear voice, it was as refreshing as a nightingale.
After she finished singing, Stanley’s rich baritone voice took over.
When Stanley began the second verse, Abbigail and Sylvia joined in, and the three of them started to sing together.
Even in a trio, each voice was distinct and unique, blending perfectly to create an extraordinary performance. Their harmony was seamless.
When the song ended, there was a moment of silence before someone started clapping.
Then, thunderous applause filled the entire studio.
The viewers on the live streaming platform were even more excited.
“That was amazing.”
“I could listen to this for days and never get tired.”
Gifts flooded the screen, and the likes kept coming. The number of viewers in the live room skyrocketed from tens of thousands to over half a million.
The live streaming software was lagging due to the high traffic, and the tech team was working overtime frantically.
One tech guy couldn’t help but post on social media: “Sylvia and Hillary’s traffic is insane! I’m working overtime until I’m dizzy!”
He was usually quite vocal about his complaints, often ranting about overtime and his boss.
But almost no one paid attention to his account or his rants.
He never imagined that he would become famous because of Sylvia!
A fan of Sylvia found his post and shared it in a fan forum. Soon, fans started sharing it like crazy.
Eventually, it even made it to the trending topics.

Yes, fans had given Sylvia and Hillary a duo name: A&A.
People then discovered that this tech guy was quite talented!
His various humorous rants were shared and joked about by netizens.
Before long, he had gained quite a following.
The tech guy was stunned.
He was just about to quietly delete his account before his boss noticed when suddenly, he got a new follower. It was his boss!
He was shocked. He had posted at least a hundred rants about his boss.
Was he going to get fired?
Just then, his boss came down from the top floor executive office to their department, patted him on the shoulder, and said excitedly, “Well done! You’ve given our company a positive and humorous image. I checked the backend data and found that the IP address of that account is from your computer. I never expected this! Our company’s stock price has risen by ten percent because of your rants! Keep it up.”
The tech guy’s mouth twitched. No way…
“Keep ranting about me. Starting today, your salary is doubled. Keep up the good work.” With that, the boss turned and left.
The tech guy quickly posted, “Thanks to A&A, I just got a raise from my boss.”
This post also went viral.

Franklin sat in the living room with Alex, watching Sylvia on TV. They had just finished singing, and the next group was taking the stage.
It was Carlee and her guest partner, an old singer known for sweet songs back in the day.
Alex’s eyes widened. “Godmother was just singing on TV!”
Franklin put away his phone. He had been sending many virtual gifts on the live streaming platform. His wife sang so well; he had to show support.
After Carlee’s performance, it was Jordyn’s turn. Her partner was a highly skilled veteran singer who had once dominated the music scene.
Jordyn couldn’t have invited him herself; Kelton had offered significant benefits to get him to partner with her for the first episode.
They sang one of Jordyn’s songs, but she couldn’t keep up with the veteran singer. She almost forgot the lyrics in her panic, saved only by the teleprompter. She even hit a wrong note at one point, causing knowledgeable audience members to murmur in disapproval.
If not for the director signaling for applause off-camera to maintain the atmosphere, the audience wouldn’t have clapped at all. The applause they did give was out of respect for the veteran singer’s excellent performance.
Jordyn left the stage with a pale face and angrily asked her manager, “Did I sing badly?”
Her manager quickly flattered her, “Of course not! You sang better than ever. Really great, don’t worry.”
The company had bought 100, 000 fake viewers for her live room. Carlee had 300, 000 viewers during her performance; they couldn’t let Jordyn have less than that. So they had already arranged for fake viewers.
Jordyn’s popularity was always inflated; many of her fans were fake, and much of her data was fabricated.
But unexpectedly, even with 100, 000 fake viewers, her live room only showed 200, 000 viewers. This meant only 100, 000 real viewers were watching.
If Jordyn’s performance had fewer viewers than others, it would be embarrassing.
But it was too late to fix it now; she had already performed.
The manager knew this but didn’t dare tell Jordyn for fear of affecting her future performances.
So he silently lamented, hoping they wouldn’t end up with the lowest viewer count.
After Jordyn’s performance, other groups took their turns.
As it turned out, the manager’s fears were correct. When all six groups had performed, A&A had the highest viewer count while Jordyn had the lowest.
A&A also received the most virtual gifts.
Jordyn received the least.
The manager almost cried.
The second round began quickly. This time they had to sing someone else’s song.
Sylvia and Hillary chose a classic song that almost everyone could sing along to.
But such songs were the hardest to perform well because everyone knew them so well that any mistake would be obvious.
For this song, Sylvia and Hillary changed into new costumes because it was an ancient-style song.
They wore traditional costumes for their performance.
During Abbigail’s part, Sylvia showcased her exceptional dancing skills.
In her elegant attire with flowing black hair and a graceful fan in hand, she looked like a celestial being from an ancient dream. The stage backdrop featured a rising spring moon. Underneath it, Sylvia moved gracefully with fluid motions and elegant gestures.
Her entire performance was mesmerizing and captivating.
Abbigail and Stanley sang in perfect harmony while Sylvia danced and sang along.
Stanley also demonstrated some martial arts moves on stage, complementing Sylvia’s dance with a mix of softness and strength.
Franklin watched intently from home, captivated by Sylvia’s performance. She always surprised him with new talents like a treasure chest full of wonders.
Alex eagerly clicked on-screen gifts during the performance. He had volunteered for this task from Franklin.
The number of viewers in the live room kept climbing-from thirty thousand to forty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand… finally reaching one million!
The live room lagged so much that many people could only see gifts flooding the screen without any video feed.
Comments kept popping up non-stop.
Viewers at home praised Sylvia’s performance enthusiastically.
Social media platforms were flooded with videos of Sylvia dancing and singing.
“Top-tier classical dance!”
“I couldn’t take my eyes off her!”
“This season’s first episode of ‘The Celestial Chorus’ is full of surprises. Sylvia single-handedly elevated the show’s quality.”
“Oh my god! I want to learn classical dance!”
“So beautiful!”
“Watching her dance and sing gave me goosebumps!”
Undoubtedly, A&A dominated this round again in every aspect.
Carlee’s group came in second place.
Jordyn was furious; she texted Kelton from the dressing room. “Godfather, look at Sylvia! She’s stealing all my spotlight! You have to do something!”
Kelton sat in the third row of the audience. Getting tickets wasn’t difficult for him.
He was already shocked by Sylvia’s performance on stage!
How could someone be so beautiful? But remembering how ruthless she could be made him wary. He only wanted revenge for what she did to him.
After receiving Jordyn’s message, his eyes darkened as he replied, “Wait for it. I’ll take care of her.”
He then instructed his subordinates to release some photos. “Make sure to release them when she’s at her peak popularity. Let’s see if negative news can overshadow her talent!”
He smiled sinisterly as he watched the stage.
Next to him, another businessman whispered, “See that man sitting front and center in the first row? That’s Mr. Fox. After the show ends, I can introduce you.”
