Chapter 69 Continued Evening

At 8:55, under the gaze of the guards, two Cadillacs drove out of the Qihai Official Residence, and then parted ways at the intersection, one returned to the Wei family's old house and the other went straight to the performing arts center.

"The premiere may be postponed for half an hour." Zhang Aijia looked at the time and asked, "What did you say to the president? I think he seemed very interested, so he deliberately left you for more than ten minutes."

"It's nothing, I'm just pretending to be a fool and generally speaking some predictions about the future development of the computer and electronics industries."

Politics cannot be mentioned and ideology cannot be discussed, so we can only talk about something more professional. At the dinner, Chen Chong did not regard Chiang Ching-kuo as the "president", but only treated him as an ordinary old man. He taught a popular science class about the computer and electronics industry. He was good at speaking and was good at using analogies. He also had a lot of technological gossip and stories in his mind. It was easy to understand and interesting, which made Chiang Ching-kuo very interested, so he stayed for a while.

"No wonder Tianbao said that you are the best at lying people. You talk to people and talk to ghosts, and even the president dares to fool them."

"A businessman, how can you make money if you can't cheat people?" Chen Chong defended himself. He touched his belly and said with satisfaction: "The chefs of the Jiang family are really good at eating well."

"Fortunately you don't like drinking, otherwise you'll be a wine bag."

Chen Chong laughed and leaned against the back of the chair, twisted his shoulders, sootheed his stiff spine, and asked, "What are you talking about there?

There are two restaurants in Qihai Official Residence, one for entertaining foreign guests and the other for entertaining the Jiang family's own family. Tonight, Chiang Ching-kuo entertained Wei Jingmeng and Shen Chong in the outer hall, while Zhang Aijia went to the inner hall to join the female family.

"It's all boring gossip." Zhang Aijia took out a card from her handbag and said, "Aunt Xu gave me a card to let me go to Yuanshan Friendship Club when I have time. This is an internal membership card, which is different from the one I used to do."

Aunt Xu is Xu Naijin, the wife of Jiang Xiaowen, the eldest son of Chiang Ching-kuo. A woman whose reputation and influence in the Jiang family are second only to Soong Mei-ling. Chen Chong was curious and took it over and took a look, then gave it to her, saying, "The tennis courts and swimming pools there are good, and they are quiet, and there is no disturbance from reporters. You can exercise when you are fine, but you can't make a fuss."

Zhang Aijia gave him a blank look and asked softly: "Are you jealous?"

“There’s a little bit.”

During dinner tonight, Chiang Ching-kuo's two sons were also there. While chatting, Jiang Xiaowu revealed in a joke that he had chased Zhang Aijia a few years ago, but failed...

"I'm pretty and gentleman Jiang Erzi and I are just ordinary friends I know. Nothing happened before. I don't like people with such tempers."

"I know, it's just a joke." Chen Chong said, playing with her fingers, "Even if you like the second young master, you probably don't like the living environment of the Jiang family. It's too depressing."

"That's right, it's a perfect match, and there's no fun at all. I can't stay there for a few days, and I'll probably be suffocated."

During the chat, the car arrived at the back door of the performing arts center. The two went to the third floor first, changed into the orthodox dresses on their bodies in the dressing room, put on the fashions prepared in advance, and then went to the second floor to meet with Chen Kunhou, Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin to start the premiere.

Although it was postponed for more than 20 minutes, the audience was very enthusiastic, and the theater was full. The premiere was similar to that in Hong Kong. However, the host was replaced by Zhang Xiaoyan, and the topics of the interview were different, but the nature was similar. They were all gossip and behind-the-scenes that the audience liked but did not have any nutrition. Chen Chong still adopted the same strategy as Hong Kong. He didn't talk much, and occasionally interjected and said a few cold jokes to prevent the movie from being overwhelmed and turned the premiere into a personal show. There was no way. He was too popular these days. He was not a star, but better than a star.

Fortunately, Leslie Cheung's new album is also very popular in Taiwan, so he is no worse than Hong Kong. Brigitte Lin is much more active than when he was in Hong Kong. These two are superstars with high appearance and aura. Their words and deeds attracted the attention of most people, and Chen Chong was happy to be quiet.

"Mr. Chen, the theme songs and episodes you wrote for this movie are very nice. Not only fans like them, but many singers also like them." After half of the interview, Zhang Xiaoyan probably felt that she was neglected by Chen Chong, so she found an old topic and asked: "When they last recorded "Variety Show One Hundred", my sister complained that you didn't write songs for her. It's been more than two months now. Have you ever written any songs in between?"

"He once sang a song for me before my birthday. It was very nice, but I was drunk at that time and didn't remember it." Zhang Aijia's eyes froze, looked at Chen Chong, and blamed him with dissatisfaction: "Later I asked him to write it down, but he said he forgot."

"Forgot?" Zhang Xiaoyan opened her eyes wide and asked, "Forgot?"

"Actually, it's not forgot." Chen Chong touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I have a bad voice and sing very badly, so I don't want to be mentioned again, especially after I heard of the new album, I feel ashamed, haha."

"You, you..." Zhang Aijia crossed his hands and glared at him. Leslie Cheung stood up, bowed and humble, and laughed all over the audience.

"Mr. Chen, you are so humble. I heard Cai Qin say that you are good at singing. I once sang and cried my little sister in the recording studio." Zhang Xiaoyan stroked her palm and said, "Isn't it, my little sister?"

Zhang Aijia bit her lip, nodded and admitted, Chen Chong refused, and said, "Cai Qin must be afraid of being scolded by me, and I will compliment me."

I believe many people knew the story of him being furious at noon. There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Even Cai Qin, who was sitting in the front row, laughed. In the laughter, Chen Chong waved his hand and said, "I can't sing. Women are all made of water, and their eyes will turn red when they are just coaxed."

"But I heard from Sanmao that it was a very good song, why not release it? I mean to take it out and sing it to the right singer."

"Sister Xiaoyan, you are so well-informed. Why not be a news officer with Oriental Charm." Chen Chong's eyes turned around Li Zongsheng, the original author of "Favorites" in the corner, and then said with a cheeky face: "I gave that song to IvIa. Now it is her private song. She can sing it whenever she wants."

"Actually, when I participated in "Variety 100", I wanted to sing that song, but it was temporarily changed to "Too Worried". After that, I wanted to use that song as the theme song of the movie." Zhang Aijia took over the topic and said, "As a result, he wrote 10 songs in Los Angeles at once. Each song is very suitable for the atmosphere of the movie, so it was useless and I was going to hide it and keep it for myself to release the album."

"So that's it, what's the name of that song?"

Zhang Aijia was about to answer, but Chen Chong said in the air: "It is called "Favorite".

Zhang Xiaoyan said softly and showed a smile. She had a high emotional intelligence and rich hosting experience. She said a few melodramatic words in an understatement, then changed the topic inadvertently and started chatting with Brigitte Lin.

Chen Chong replaced "Favorite" with "Too Worry" because the love triangle was just exposed at that time, and this song was easily interpreted and hyped by the media, which brought unnecessary trouble. Now that the relationship between the three is solid, it doesn't matter...

After the interview, the same question-related questions were asked by movie fans and reporters. Taiwan’s news control was very strict. These people and questions were screened and arranged in advance, so they were calm and asked routine questions such as whether they were satisfied with their performances or future work plans. However, when the question-and-answer session was about to end, a little unexpected happened.

"Mr. Chen, you just said that you wrote a song called "Favorite" to Miss Zhang. Did you say that the person you love the most is her? When will you leave Miss Li and give Miss Zhang a beautiful destination? I think you are shaking now and hurting everyone, so cruel."

The question was about a pretty girl wearing glasses. She looked young and dressed relatively simply. She seemed to be a college student at school.

Taipei is really a literary city...

I will never come to Taipei for any programs next time...

Chen Chong looked at all kinds of eyes and expressions in the stands, curious, excited or gossipy, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead with his hands, thinking about how to deal with it. Zhang Aijia picked up the microphone and said, "I'm very grateful for your concern, but this is my private matter with AIuR. Love is like drinking water, and I know the warmth and coldness. I'm living a happy life now..."

"Mr. Chen, how could you let a girl who was hurt by you help cover up your love? Don't you dare to answer my question?"

This girl is thin and weak, delicate and timid, why is she so angry...

But I'm very brave...

"I have imagined that countless people come to ask about your question, including elders, friends, and of course journalists, but no one has ever asked, you are the first one." Chen Chong raised his hand and signaled the staff who came forward to dissuade him to retreat, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I even wrote this question into a song."

While speaking, he stood up, walked to Zhang Aijia, stroked her shoulders, and sang a few lyrics.

Yuanduo gentle丨Beautiful

Very cute

I feel uneasy but can't speak

You know, but you never mention separation

You answered like a scoundrel

Love both

You just want to be out of the way

Don't you know two hearts

You're hurt

Karen Mok's song "Two Girls" was originally viewed by a bystander's perspective, but Chen Chong sang it himself, but he had a sense of talking to himself and blaming himself. His singing, whether it was his voice or singing skills, was not good, and he was far inferior to a famous actor like Karen Mok. However, the song could be touching as long as it suits the situation. So after singing for a few sentences, Zhang Aijia turned around and held his hand, with full understanding in his eyes.

After he finished singing, the girl opened her mouth and wanted to ask again, but Chen Chong didn't give her a chance and said first: "Love is not the whole of life. There is a solution to everything. Even if we can't solve it ourselves, the old man Shi Guang will come to help us solve it... So, stop asking."

"Oh, Mr. Chen said he couldn't sing, it sounds nice." Zhang Xiaoyan took the lead in applauding him and announced: "Mr. Chen has already sang. Let's listen to Mr. Leslie Cheung's singing, which made Mr. Chen feel ashamed of himself."

"She is gentle and beautiful, am I just cute?" On the way home, Zhang Aijia pinched Shen Chong's arm and threatened, "When I get home, I will write it for me, and I will also want to "Space together"."

"Don't you want it?"

"You're going to the United States this time and have been away for a few months. Now I won't give you more things to think about. Be careful that I'm really a fan of my life."

"Dare to go out of the wall, my family will serve me." Chen Chong hugged her, teased her for a while, and said, "When I was cursing at noon today, I suddenly thought of an idea and decided to gather everyone's strength to make a song and dance movie to commemorate the establishment of the Taiwan Branch of Oriental Charm. Then, when the meeting was held in the afternoon, I sat there and wrote a script outline. You can take it back and take it to see it. If you are interested, you can be a starring actor. If you act well, you may have the chance to win the Golden Horse Award next year."

"You were actually writing a script during the negotiations in the afternoon?" Zhang Aijia was surprised, looked up at him, and asked half-believingly, "What story is it?"

"The name of this drama is "Get the Wrong Car". The story is clichéd and the emotions are very touching. You will know it after watching it."
