While Lin Yi was cooperating with Ms. Yu Xiujuan at home, Gu Caiwei was celebrating New Year's Eve in Yuezhou. Because she was away for a particularly long time this time, the whole family, especially the two elderly people, were very happy.
Oh, by the way, there are two little ones, Gu Zixuan and Gu Ziyan, and my sister even brought them gifts.
After Gu Caiwei stayed at Gu's house for a few days, she had to go to Zhou's house to stay for a few days as usual. After all, she hadn't shown up there for half a year.
But this time, she was surprised to find that the person who came to pick her up was not the driver but her father Zhou Zecheng himself. Although it had happened before, it was really rare because Boss Zhou's business was still very busy.
While she was still wondering, Zhou Zecheng asked first, "Where is your mother?"
"at home."
"Go up and tell her that I have something to discuss with her, and it's about you."
This surprised Gu Caiwei even more, because the two had hardly seen each other since their divorce. In my mind, this was the first time that my father said that he wanted to find his mother.
She thought about it and went upstairs to tell her mother. After a while, Ms. Gu Changge appeared next to Zhou Zecheng's car.
"What's the matter with you?" Her tone was neither far nor near.
"Won't you invite me to sit upstairs?"
"It's not necessary. I'm afraid they will misunderstand."
Ms. Gu Changge knew that her two younger brothers, including the two old men, actually hoped that she could remarry the person in front of her. However, she had been resolute over the years and so she gradually lost her mind.
If we let him in today, I'm afraid he won't be able to be clean in the future.
Zhou Zecheng sighed inwardly, but quickly adjusted his attitude and got down to business: "I came to you to discuss something about Xiao Wei."
"A few years ago, I was introduced to the director of Yizhijiang TV Station, whose surname is Xia. It is said that he was the general manager of the program "The Voice" which was very popular last year and is preparing for the next season."
"I was thinking that Xiao Wei planned to be a singer in the future, so I showed him some videos of Xiao Wei's previous competitions. Unexpectedly, he was very interested and said that he would arrange for Xiao Wei to appear on the show."
Gu Changge knew that the end of each year was an important time for people in the business world to interact with each other and keep in touch with each other. Most of Zhou Zecheng's so-called introductions took place at the wine table.
Sometimes a few groups of people just get together and have a drink regardless of whether they know each other.
It's probably not a serious occasion, huh.
However, this man's affairs have nothing to do with him anymore, but Xiao Wei's matters are more serious.
"The Voice" was very popular last summer, with several students relying on one song for a whole year. It is the most popular talent show at the moment, and there have been rumors that a second season will be released this year.
"Is the person reliable?" This is the key.
"Can I be careless about Xiaowei's matter? I wouldn't come to you if it wasn't verified."
Gu Changge knew that Zhou Zecheng had been a competent father all these years, and it was impossible for those charlatans to escape his eyes. If he had verified it, there should be nothing wrong.
"What did you tell him?"
"I haven't discussed it with you in advance, and it's not good to talk too much with him. If you think it's feasible, in a few days we will take Xiaowei and go to Lin'an to find Director Xia in the name of New Year's greetings."
The more Gu Changge thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good opportunity. He was already interested, but he still did not agree immediately.
"I'll discuss it with Caiwei."
She saw Zhou Zecheng's questioning look and knew what he was thinking, because she had almost done everything for her daughter from childhood to eldest.
"Xiaowei is already an adult, and we should all respect her opinions."
…
So two days later, Lin Yi met his girlfriend again in Lin'an, and just heard her tell the reason why she came here this time.
"Then what?" Lin Yi asked.
"Then I went with my parents to Director Xia's house to pay New Year's greetings. He said that he thought my conditions were very good and that if I could be on this show, I would probably become famous overnight."
"However, the specific plan for the second season has not been released yet, and the preparations have not been officially started. We will contact me again when we recruit students."
"Um?"
This attitude was a bit strange. Lin Yi guessed that Director Xia might have something he didn't say, and there should be some twists and turns in it.
Talent shows are by no means just what viewers see on TV. They have been going on for so many years since Supergirl took the country by storm in 2005. Does anyone still think that whoever sings well can win the championship?
Behind the huge interests must be fierce competition and various unspeakable secret operations.
Of course, I guess it was only the silly girl in front of me who didn't realize that Ms. Gu Changge had a delicate heart, and Zhou Zecheng was a veteran in the shopping mall.
"Didn't he ask you if you signed with a brokerage company?"
"Yes, I told him that I was a trainee at Iron Eater Entertainment. He knew that the boss of this company was Peng Yuchen, and then he said nothing."
Lin Yi didn't know whether Gu Caiwei had been exposed to this opportunity in her previous life, or whether it was the change brought about by her own rebirth, but Gu Caiwei did not become popular because of this Zhijiang TV program.
He reminded: "Your contract was signed by Peng Yuchen. If you want to appear on a TV show, she must nod, otherwise it will be a breach of contract."
"That's what mom said too."
Lin Yi guessed that Ms. Gu Changge would contact Director Xia again, but Gu Caiwei didn't seem to care. He asked:
"What about yourself, do you want to be on this show?"
"Hmm...I don't know either, Lin Yi, what do you think?"
Gu Caiwei obviously didn't think about it seriously. The reason why she agreed to meet Director Xia in Lin'an was just so that she could meet Lin Yi by the way, and then habitually threw the question to him.
Lin Yi shook his head.
He was not expressing objection. Although he knew that Gu Caiwei did not appear on this show in his previous life, the butterfly effect caused by him was getting bigger and bigger. Many things had changed. It was hard to say whether this was good or bad for Gu Caiwei.
But no matter what, Lin Yi didn't want him to make this decision for Gu Caiwei.
Just like what he once said to Ms. Gu Changge, Gu Caiwei is not anyone of them's puppet, and no one can control her life.
"Xiaowei, I don't know anything about this industry. I'm afraid I can't give you any advice."
"But this is undoubtedly a very important opportunity for your career, and you must be mentally prepared."
Gu Caiwei found that Lin Yi's attitude was very similar to when she was asked to decide whether to become a trainee, and she replied blankly:
"okay."
When Lin saw that she had understood, he did not put too much pressure on her, but took the initiative to remind her:
"This matter is not that urgent. It must be true that he said that preparations have not officially started, otherwise he should make it clear to you on the spot."
