Chapter 42
Wu Long was worried that the police waiting for him downstairs did not appear. After looking around, he quickly left with Qiu Ya.
"Seeing that everyone is crowdfunding for me to fight, I am very happy that everyone is thinking of ways for me. I will ask tomorrow to see how I can hold a fighting competition."
Crowdfunding fighting competitions may be the way to go. After explaining to the fans in the live broadcast room, Wu Long turned off the live broadcast.
"What kind of food do you like? I want to treat you to dinner. Thank you for helping me today." Wu Long saw that it was time for dinner.
Qiu Ya was busy scrolling through her mobile phone. She didn't want to go out to eat alone with Wu Long for the time being.
"No, I have something else to do."
"Yes, I have to eat even if I have something to do."
Qiu Ya's phone rang. She signaled to Wu Long: "Look, we're here to urge you."
Wu Long took a look. Although Qiu Ya's phone just flashed by, he still saw the caller ID clearly.
It was the manager who called her.
"Then another day. I'll ask you another day. Don't refuse."
Qiu Ya just smiled and did not answer. After answering, she made a goodbye gesture to Wu Long and left quickly.
"Hello, manager."
"Xiaoya, I made a reservation at the food garden. Wherever you are, I will pick you up."
"You're welcome, manager, I have something to do and I can't leave."
"You told me today that you were going to send your sister off to check in, but it's not over yet? This is impossible. You deliberately didn't give me a chance to treat you to dinner."
"Not long after I came to the company, I invited everyone from the entire department to dinner, and no one refused. Only you kept refusing. It seems that I have failed very much as a manager."
Qiu Ya closed her eyes, but the other party didn't hang up.
"Manager, I'll ask my friend to help handle it. I'll be there right away."
"You tell me your location and I'll pick you up. It's hard for you to get a taxi during get off work hours. The subway is even more crowded. Are you sweating all over to see me?"
Qiu Ya looked around, told her address, and sent the location to the manager.
I heard that the new manager had a good relationship with the senior management, so he invited her to dinner alone many times soon after he was transferred.
She had refused many times, and it was hard to refuse this time.
She asked for leave today to report to Qiu Yu, but she did not follow the formal procedures for asking for leave. Now the company implements the elimination system for the last place, and perfect attendance is also an inspection item. If the other scores are the same, absence will definitely be a loss of points.
This month, due to various reasons, her rating was very low. She couldn't let Qiu Yu report on her own, so she went to the manager in private as before. As long as the manager agreed, there would be no problem.
This is the default method, and everyone does it. As long as the number of times is small and there is indeed something wrong, the manager will be accommodating.
This was the case with the previous manager.
This time Qiu Ya also asked the new manager in private to see if he agreed. If she didn't agree, she would have no choice but to ask for leave or ask Wu Long to help take care of Qiu Yu.
Unexpectedly, the new manager agreed.
Now that she received a call from the new manager asking for a meal, Qiu Ya felt regretful. She should have thought of it earlier, and she should not have asked for leave in private.
It's not true that everyone in the department is invited to dinner alone. Those who are not good-looking will never receive a call from the new manager.
Qiu Ya has already decided that if the new manager has any intentions, she will say that Wu Long is her boyfriend. Wu Long is so good at fighting, the new manager should not dare to have any thoughts on her anymore.
Then should we call Wu Long together?
Qiu Ya subconsciously turned around and didn't see Wu Long.
Qiu Ya couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she couldn't find Wu Long. She sat down on a bench on the street and read the news about Wu Long and waited for the new manager.
After Wu Long answered the phone at Qiu Ya, he also answered a phone call.
Chu Jian called him and said that he was having dinner with some friends and wanted to get to know him. By the way, he introduced Wu Xia's guitar teacher and asked him if he was free to come over.
Wu Long had to eat anyway, so he looked up and saw an empty car. He quickly waved to stop, got in the car and left.
The place to eat was in an alley. In addition to Chu Jian, there were three men and two women, one of whom was a couple.
There is another girl named Zhang Ying, who is about twenty-six years old, has long hair, is older than Qiu Ya, and not as good-looking as Qiu Ya. She is Wu Xia’s guitar teacher who was introduced to Wu Long by Chu Jian.
Zhang Ying teaches guitar near Teito University and sings in bars when she doesn't have classes.
Chu Jian was very concerned about helping Wu Xia find a teacher and specially found a female teacher.
"Brother Long, you play the guitar better than me. I'm here to teach your sister, I'm afraid..." Zhang Ying is older than Wu Long and still calls Wu Long Brother Long.
"Brother Long, Xiaoying plays the guitar well." Chu Jian introduced: "She graduated from the Conservatory of Music."
Everyone is a little curious, if Wu Long plays guitar well, why don't he teach him.
"If my brother teaches my sister, she will be under pressure. Besides, I have a bad temper, so..." Wu Long explained. "Besides, if I go back to the film and television city, I won't have time to teach her."
Chu Jian suggested:
"Brother Long, I don't think you should go back to the film and television city."
"First, there is not only one film and television city in the country. If you only stay in one film and television city, it will be too narrow."
"Secondly, your current reputation is not suitable for you to be an extra. As an actor, once your status rises, don't fall down again."
"For example, if you have already played a supporting role, this is a stepping stone. You have already jumped on it. If you go back to be an extra, others will think that you can only be an extra."
Hearing this, Wu Long nodded.
"Third, if you stay in the Imperial City, your chances will be greater. In the Imperial City, you can get to know more people. Maybe someone needs a role temporarily. If you happen to be in the Imperial City, others will think of you immediately."
Makes sense.
Wu Long raised his glass to Chu Jian.
Staying in the imperial capital seems to be a better choice. If he continues to be an extra, others will certainly treat him as an extra.
When "Drunk Catcher" is released, he should be able to attract the attention of the industry.
It can be said that Guo Hao temporarily invited him to play a supporting role, which really brought him into the film and television industry and gave him an admission ticket.
Coupled with his popularity and traffic, as long as he keeps it up, people will look for him to film movies.
He is different from other internet celebrity anchors. The reason why the film and television industry does not seek out internet celebrity anchors to film movies, and the reason why the entertainment industry does not seek out internet celebrity anchors to appear in variety shows and sing on stage, is that the abilities of those internet celebrities are not that great.
He is different from ordinary actors. He has strength and acting skills, and he can also stay popular and create topics.
He is as handsome as those with low traffic. On the contrary, he is more handsome and masculine.
He can act. As long as "Drunk Catcher" is released, everyone will see that he has no shortage of acting skills. At least his acting skills are not inferior to those of second- and third-tier actors.
After some consideration, Wu Long decided to stay in the Imperial Capital for development. He asked everyone to help him find a house. At present, he is not able to buy a house in the Imperial Capital and can only rent.
Everyone chatted while eating, and soon the topic of Wu Long and Wang Xiwei came up.
"Brother Long, are you really sure you can beat Wang Xiwei?"
"Of course, the live broadcast is on. If I am not sure, won't I be beaten by the live broadcast?"
"Brother Long, if you didn't fight them, maybe Wang Xiwei would fight you. Now I guess Wang Xiwei is afraid of losing and won't fight you."
"That can't be helped. I think netizens will be happy to take the video of me playing today and post it on Wang Xiwei's Weibo every day."
"Haha——" Everyone burst into laughter.
After asking around again, no one knew how to hold a fighting match, and they didn’t have any friends to join this circle. It seems that Wu Long can only go to consult tomorrow.
Chu Jian's cell phone rang and he answered the call.
"okokokok."
"I'll ask and get back to you."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jian asked Wu Long.
"Brother Long, there is a shopping mall looking for you to perform. But it's not about singing. I want you to perform a high plum blossom pile, two feet high. The ground is protected by mats, and you have to buy your own insurance. If you perform on the plum blossom pile for half an hour, it will cost you 50,000 yuan.
.If you add a beer bottle to the plum blossom pile and step on the beer bottle, add another 50,000."
Zhang Ying sighed: "Brother Long is still great. When I accepted a commercial role, it didn't even exceed 10,000 yuan. The maximum was only 5,000 yuan."
Everyone joked: "You can probably earn 50,000 by stepping on beer bottles and singing on plum blossom piles."
We all laughed together.
"When?" Wu Long asked.
"Tomorrow." Chu Jian smiled. "I guess I didn't consider you originally. When word spread about your participation in the mall in the afternoon, the mall saw the stunt and decided to find you temporarily."
"Do they build the plum blossom piles, or should I build them myself?" Wu Long asked.
"They said it would be built with scaffolding, with iron plates with a diameter of five inches welded on top. They would build it, and you would design the plum blossom piles."
"I'll take it. Add a beer bottle!"
"Brother Long, isn't it too dangerous to add beer bottles?" Zhang Ying advised.
"Danger is what attracts people." Wu Long thought to himself, without danger there would be no reputation value.
Besides, living in the imperial capital is very stressful.
