Chapter 785 I'm Going Back To The Magic City (1/2 Monthly Ticket)
2024 is the Year of the Dragon. It is said that the spirit of the dragon and horse makes everything new. This Spring Festival seems to be a rare leap for everyone at Qianyu Media!
Zhang Shanshan was praised by many netizens for singing with the tourists in the same carriage when she returned home during the Spring Festival, and she has gained a certain degree of popularity on the Internet.
The CCTV interview not only made her appear in front of the people of the country with a more positive image, but also made her and her grandfather famous in her hometown!
After all, how many opportunities does a small county nestled in the mountains have to be noticed by big official media like CCTV?
After the CCTV program was broadcast, the leaders of the township and county also visited one after another to express condolences to the fallen old artist Mr. Zheng Guokui. They also invited Zheng Guokui and Zhang Shanshan to join the county's Federation of Literary and Art Circles organization and attended some previously unpopular events.
It was a grand scene that Zheng Guokui, a veteran troupe artist, could not imagine.
This is only the most direct impact. In the future, as Zhang Shanshan's singing career develops step by step, the county and city will pay more attention to their family.
Even the small Miaowan Village may benefit, such as road construction funds, opportunities for folk art performances, and maybe the county will provide funds to help Zheng Guokui re-establish and pass on the opera troupe that he has always remembered.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Wu Lan's blind date plan during the Spring Festival went bankrupt again. None of the six blind dates her mother arranged for her were spared - she rejected them all.
But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because Wu Lan met a new friend, Dong Wenlei.
Dr. Dong was even more straightforward than her. After meeting Wu Lan, he stopped making arrangements for blind dates and just waited eagerly for dinner time.
"Sister Lan, how was the blind date today?"
"No, that's a pity. How about I treat you to dinner?"
"Okay, I'll pick you up!"
Anyway, during this period of time in his hometown, Wu Lan always came home with a smile on his face and a cheerful look on his face. This made his mother very confused, but if she kept asking, she couldn't find out anything.
This afternoon, at Starbucks in the Great World Shopping Plaza, Dong Wenlei was typing on the computer, while Wu Lan was looking at his phone next to him, and at the same time copying and writing in the small book on the right.
Originally, this date, which they both tacitly agreed to, was quite harmonious. Everyone was busy with their own affairs and worrying about each other's company. Who would have thought that Wu Lan suddenly raised her head and told him a piece of news that was no less than a bolt from the blue.
"I'm going back to Magic City tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Wu Lan did not continue to lower his head, but sat there and looked at him calmly.
"Back to the Magic City? No, I mean, so early? Didn't you say you wouldn't go back until after the Lantern Festival?"
Dong Wenlei was stunned by this sudden news, as if he had not yet woken up from the plot he was writing, and it took him a long time to respond.
"The plan has changed. Yang Qian just sent me a text message saying that they will go back to Magic City the day after tomorrow. As his agent, I must go back a day early. And as the general manager of the company, I should also go back early and be on duty during the New Year.
Colleagues have dinner.”
Wu Lan has already told Dong Wenlei about her actual position.
However, Dr. Xiaodong did not seem to give up.
"In fact, this is what we do in this industry. In terms of time, there is never an accurate plan. If the artist has any new arrangements, we have to change them at any time. And business trips are common. You may see me in Shanghai today, maybe
I will be in Beijing or Yangcheng tomorrow."
Wu Lan seemed to be laughing at herself, talking about her work in a calm tone.
But isn’t this just another “persuasion”?
Emotionally, Wu Lan may have really been attracted by this seemingly clumsy, but actually very good younger brother.
But rationally, Wu Lan still felt that there were too many impossibilities between them, and she didn't want to drag Dong Wenlei down.
"Maybe I'll go to Guangling too. Teacher Yang's concert schedule in the second half of the year should go to Guangling. If I go to Guangling then, I'll give you a call and we'll make an appointment for a meal."
Wu Lan slowly opened up the distance. They only met once in half a year, and it was just a dinner date between friends. Isn't this obvious?
"Sister Lan, I can go to the Magic City."
Dong Wenlei said suddenly.
"Why are you going to the Magic City? Isn't Guangling very nice? Renting a house in the Magic City is expensive and the consumption is high."
Wu Lan disagrees.
Dong Wenlei told her that he studied in Jinling before and then went to Guangling to work. Although he resigned later, he still stayed in Guangling.
Guangling is still very good. He has lived there for so many years and is very familiar with the local cultural environment. Moreover, he bought a house near Slender West Lake in the early years. He bought it when it was cheap and made a profit. The air near the house is very good. Code words
When he is tired, he can go to the scenic spot for a walk.
It can be said that except for not having a girlfriend and being single and lonely, everything else is fine!
But now, Dong Wenlei is going to the Magic City?
For him, this is a big adventure out of his comfort zone!
"Actually, I have saved some money over the years, and my royalties are pretty good. I can afford to rent an apartment in Shanghai. I work at home in front of the computer. Isn't it a matter of coding where to live?
"
Dong Wenlei and Wu Lan laughed.
"You'd better think carefully before making a decision! If you really want to go to the Magic City, it's best to communicate with your family."
Wu Lan did not think that Dong Wenlei would go to the Magic City for her, but now Dong Wenlei may be a little impulsive.
Therefore, she did not dissuade him, but asked him to think it over calmly, as well as the opinions of his family. When these factors are combined, Dong Wenlei may make a more rational choice.
...
Although Wu Lan didn't know what Dong Wenlei decided later, they just said goodbye to each other in a very ordinary way that night, but even if the past is in the past, in the adult world, there are too many things that need to be considered and invested in.
.
It was impossible for Wu Lan to let herself be immersed in an unlikely relationship. After she returned to Shanghai, she quickly made arrangements to pick her up at the airport the next day.
"Xueying, please inform the driver to take the car for a wash, and then we will arrive at the airport at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Wu Lan explained to Chang Xueying who came back from Jincheng.
"Okay, do you want to prepare two thermal pads and thermal blankets?"
Chang Xueying nodded.
"Prepare it, you may not need it, so prepare it first. Remember to ask the driver not to put perfume in the car. Niye doesn't like these smelly things now."
Wu Lan warned.
"I know, I'll call the driver now."
Chang Xueying nodded.
"Lao Lu, Baozi, you prepare a publicity plan. Next Tuesday, Mr. Lin Cheng from Mango Channel and their "Happy Everyday" hosting team will come to Shanghai to record songs. The time has been set. Publicity plan
You guys give me a look first, and then contact this person from Mango TV..."
Wu Lan said to Lu Yudong and Bao Wenxiao.
Lu Yudong is the manager of the publicity department, and Bao Wenxiao is the deputy manager, mainly responsible for the publicity of the short video platform.
Of course, their team doesn't have many members, and they can't be said to be mere commanders, but they are still "elite" departments that must be led by leaders at all times.
It's like this now, everyone else is still on vacation, and only two managers can work...
"Teacher Yang and the others came back to the Magic City so early, is it because the Mango Terrace gang is coming?"
When Chang Xueying came back from the phone call, she and Wu Lan were the only ones in the conference room.
"Well, yes. After all, unlike our company, others take such a long holiday after the Chinese New Year."
Wu Lan smiled.
"Hey, Sister Lan, you came back so early, didn't you delay the blind date? How's the blind date record these days?"
Chang Xueying came to her side and asked with a smile.
Only Chang Xueying knew about Wu Lan going back to her hometown for a blind date - because she went to buy a skirt and then hurriedly returned to the company, but asked Chang Xueying to take it back to the office and hide it, so she could not avoid being discovered by this girl.
"It's just like that, year after year, it gets older and harder every year!"
Wu Lan said lightly.
"That's it, Sister Lan, if you ask me, don't think about going back to your hometown. I'll look back and see if there are any outstanding young men in our Demon City who can introduce you to you. Our Demon City is here
There aren’t that many traditional ideas…”
Chang Xueying also enthusiastically wanted to be a matchmaker for her master.
"Go, go, go, you don't have to worry about my affairs! Just worry about yourself, don't be like me, dragging yourself out year after year until you become an old girl!"
