As mentioned before, Wu Lan's hometown, Tongzhou, is actually very close to the Magic City, so it is not a small third-tier city. Tongzhou has already become a second-tier city.
Even if Wu Lan lives in the county below, the economic conditions and basic measures are still far ahead of many well-known cities in the northwest.
No, when Wu Lan drove out (the company assigned it to her from the beginning), she drove on a five-lane main road and a two-lane auxiliary road. The whole drive was smooth and comfortable!
However, although the economy drives the construction of infrastructure, it is still difficult to change the characteristics of small counties with vast land and sparsely populated areas.
Although the roads here look no different from first- and second-tier cities, Wu Lan still had to drive five or six kilometers to find a large shopping mall where he could walk around in a more prosperous area in the county.
Business district.
The environment inside was not bad. After Wu Lan parked the car, she started shopping in the shopping mall inside.
Shopping malls will not be closed for holidays on New Year's Eve. Today's young people may not necessarily like to sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala. Many people will go out to shopping malls and watch movies.
To buy some perfume and lipstick for her mother, Wu Lan went to the gold shop.
Wu Lan is the general manager of Qianyu Media, and her salary is already very high. The year-end bonus and New Year red envelope given out during the Chinese New Year are even more generous than those of ordinary employees.
Therefore, thinking about the big red envelopes received from the two bosses at the annual party, Wu Lan decided to take advantage of this shopping opportunity to buy some gold chains, gold bracelets and other jewelry as gifts for her parents.
"Just these two, pack them for me."
Wu Lan may be used to a fast pace in her daily work, so when she picked the goods, she was very fast. After she took a fancy to it, she didn't even plan to look at it again, and directly greeted the clerk to issue her an order and pay.
Okay, I’ve finished shopping now, but it’s still so early, where can I go shopping?
Wu Lan raised her hand to look at her watch and frowned slightly.
It was only 3:55, which was too fast. She didn't come out of home until after 3 o'clock.
Wu Lan doesn't want to go back now.
"I started going back around four, five, and half past five. I got home before six, took a shower, had dinner, and watched the Spring Festival Gala at eight. Perfect!"
Wu Lan calculated her itinerary in her mind, then turned around and walked towards the Starbucks cafe on the first floor that she had just noticed when she arrived.
Nothing to do, just drink coffee and check out the hot news on the Internet!
Wu Lan sat down in the coffee shop, picked up her phone and started browsing Weibo.
After searching for a while, she didn't see any hot searches about her boss, but there were more news about Spring Festival Gala performers, among which Yang Qian was mentioned, and the portions were not large.
Unconsciously, Wu Lan was already in working mode. The waiter brought her coffee and desserts. She just nodded subconsciously to express her gratitude, then turned back and was immersed in her mobile phone.
"Hey, isn't this Shanshan?"
Wu Lan searched for Yang Qian's news and saw a video of "A female student took the lead in singing "Go Home Often" on the train, and her moving singing moved countless netizens." She didn't even think about it. She clicked on it and saw the cover.
The female student who was too vague for her to identify turned out to be Zhang Shanshan!
Obviously, the person who shot the video came over to watch the video. He didn't know Zhang Shanshan's identity. He simply thought that Zhang Shanshan sang this song very well and was touching, so he posted it on the short video platform.
Who would have known that Zhang Shanshan’s singing voice would be so melodious and moving? After several rounds of circulation of the short video, it suddenly became popular on the Internet within a few days.
Maybe it’s because it’s the Spring Festival travel season at this time, and countless tourists are rushing home. When you see a video like this, it will naturally resonate with you, and you can’t help but like, repost, and comment on it.
The picture in the video is actually not very clear. Maybe many netizens did not recognize Zhang Shanshan. Even if one or two did, their comments were temporarily submerged in the emotion of countless people.
It was Wu Lan who saw it and identified it carefully, and then confirmed that it was Zhang Shanshan!
"Shanshan, is this you?"
Wu Lan forwarded this Weibo post and the video to Qianyu Media’s internal WeChat group, and liked Zhang Shanshan.
Zhang Shanshan didn't respond, and Wu Lan didn't answer her call. She was probably busy at home and didn't have her cell phone with her.
But many people in the group were excited.
"Sister Lan, it should be Shanshan. This voice belongs to Shanshan."
Jiao Hailong said.
"Yes, it's really Shanshan's! I saw this video last night, but I didn't watch it carefully at the time. I was thinking that this little girl could sing pretty well."
This is what Bao Wenxiao is saying.
"It must be Shanshan, the voice is so familiar. Hey, how can Shanshan take the train back? This is a hard sleeper, right?"
Yang Shihan was also excited.
"It's a hard sleeper. I sent her to the car, but she refused to be upgraded to a soft sleeper."
Chang Xueying made a helpless expression.
This was a detail that Wu Lan had not noticed just now. She frowned slightly. While everyone was discussing why Zhang Shanshan suddenly became famous and what they should do this time, Wu Lan, as the general manager, realized something
You need to find time to discuss the matter with your bosses.
Although Zhang Shanshan should be free to decide what kind of tickets she buys, Wu Lan also feels that the company has no obligation to pay for the tickets for its artists to go home.
After all, going home for the New Year is a private matter and not a business arrangement, so it makes no sense for the company to pay for it!
Of course, if the artist is very busy, the manager can do it for him.
However, for someone like Zhang Shanshan, who is already half an entertainment star, to sit in a hard sleeper or take an ordinary train, Wu Lan has already thought that there are many potential safety hazards and there are also many public opinion risks.
"This matter is either big or small. Manager Lu, please discuss it with your public relations department and come up with a response plan first and send it to me later."
"Xueying, you contact Shanshan later and book a return ticket for her. The money company will pay for her temporarily. We will talk about the specific arrangements later."
Wu Lan edited two WeChat messages and arranged them.
Of course, Wu Lan did not blame Zhang Shanshan for this matter. She also knew the financial situation of Zhang Shanshan's family and knew that Zhang Shanshan did this just to save money.
A very sensible girl!
It is the company that should be reviewed, and it is her, the general manager.
While Wu Lan was thinking about it, she turned up the volume slightly, wanting to hear Zhang Shanshan's voice in this video.
Employees in the group are still talking about it, saying that Zhang Shanshan has become famous now. It seems that a certain official media has reprinted this video and written it into a public account news article.
Of course, Zhang Shanshan was still not recognized by the official media. She was only praised as a young student with talent, a good singing voice, and the ability to empathize with ordinary people through music!
It seems to sound very good...
Wu Lan was in a hurry when she came out and forgot to bring her wireless headphones that were being charged.
Therefore, she could only turn on the sound, put the phone to her ear, and listen to Zhang Shanshan's high-pitched singing with a smile.
It’s a good thing to be praised by the official media!
Wu Lan was listening when she suddenly saw a man in front of him who was holding a computer and didn't know what he was doing. He raised his head and looked at her.
"Um, I'm sorry, did it affect you?"
Wu Lan quickly turned off the sound.
"It has no impact at all. Did you just watch the video of "Go Home Often"? I just watched it yesterday, so I reacted subconsciously. By the way, do you want headphones? Our mobile phones should all be the same.
"
The man smiled at her and handed over a headphone cable.
