At six o'clock in the evening, guests began to arrive.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Liying, Cheng Xiao and Yang Chaoyue were entertaining guests at the front desk, while the two chefs Lin Qingyuan, Lin Shuwei and Zhang Liang were busy in the back kitchen.
After all the dishes were served and the guests had almost eaten, Huang Xiaoming took the microphone and began to host.
"Okay, seeing that everyone has almost finished eating, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the two great chefs in our back kitchen, our Chef Zhang Liang, our Chef Lin Shuwei, and our assistant chef Chef Lin Qingyuan.”
The three of them walked out of the kitchen and stood next to Huang Xiaoming, clasping their hands and bowing with a smile.
Everyone burst into applause.
There were even many young guests calling Lin Qingyuan's name. Lin Qingyuan followed the call and responded with nods and smiles.
"So next our Qingyuan and our Cheng Xiao will sing a few songs for everyone, and I hope everyone will like their performance."
】
As soon as Huang Xiaoming finished speaking, Zhao Liying and Lin Shuwei took the lead in applauding.
The two of them are actually quite fond of this cp. They are similar in age, have compatible personalities, and get along naturally. They like to stay together no matter what they do. They are the kind of people who don't fight or fight, and are reliable and will not let go of the chain at critical moments. In addition, the two of them had a comrade-in-arms bond that was life-and-death in Hua Shao 2 three years ago...
"I'm a fan of theirs!"
"I'm their fan!"
Lin Shuwei and Zhao Liying both smiled.
Huang Xiaoming also smiled and nodded, "Yes, although everyone has the impression that Qingyuan is an actor, his singing is so beautiful. Every time I go to KTV, I must order his "Want to See You". As for Xiao Xiao, she is an idol in her own right, so Singing must be pretty good too.”
"Thank you for the compliment..." Cheng Xiao smiled shyly.
She can indeed dance, but when it comes to singing... I can only say that there is a lot of room for improvement.
After all, the main focus of South Korean girl groups is stage effects, and they do not have such high rigid requirements for vocals.
Lin Qingyuan stood on the left hand side of Huang Xiaoming, and Cheng Xiao stood on the right hand side of Huang Xiaoming, just looking at each other from a distance, while the music sounded.
"If one day I go back to the past, to the original me, will you think I'm good?"
Cheng Xiao was a little off-key as soon as he opened his mouth. Lin Qingyuan wanted to laugh, but he still held it back.
After all, he can stand up to Xiao Ye singing like that, so what does Cheng Xiao, a cricket, mean?
"If one day I am far away from you and can no longer meet you, will you realize that I have said goodbye?"
Qingyuan’s voice still sounds good! Huang Xiaoming raised his eyebrows and took two steps back consciously.
He no longer stands between the two of them as a lightbulb.
"When your eyes are squinting and you are smiling, when you are drinking Coke and when you are noisy, I want to be nice to you. You never know that thinking about you can become a hobby."
"When you talk about today's troubles, when you say it's late at night and you can't sleep, I want to tell you, but I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing. I really like you, do you know~"
The two people put down their mobile phones at the same time to read the lyrics, then turned their heads to find each other and smiled at each other.
Smiling with squinted eyes, drinking Coca-Cola, unable to sleep late at night...Why do they match so well?
"I want to tell you, but I'm afraid I'll say it wrong. I like you so much, do you know..."
At the end of the approximately four-minute song, everyone clapped and cheered, and some even stood up and shouted for an encore.
Huang Xiaoming picked up the microphone: "How did they sing? Is the meal worth it?"
“It sounds great! It sounds great! It’s worth it!”
The excited voices of the guests kept coming and going.
"Xiao Lin and Xiao Xiao sang very well, and their voices were very clear and pure." Lin Shuwei also expressed his affirmation of the quality of the two's a cappella singing stage.
"There's no technique, it's all emotion." Zhao Liying smiled with a hint of meaning.
The performance is over, and today's business has come to a successful conclusion.
The guests left one after another and the restaurant continued to be busy.
After everyone sat down around the table, Huang Xiaoming asked: "What is our turnover today?"
Zhao Liying glanced at the small accounting notebook and replied: "Today's turnover is 3,750 yuan."
"That's not bad." Lin Qingyuan then asked: "Then how far are we from the target of 20,000 yuan? Is it enough?"
Zhao Liying nodded, "Including today's turnover, it's almost over 20,000 yuan."
"Okay, congratulations on successfully completing the turnover task!" Huang Xiaoming smiled with satisfaction.
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them, first to welcome Lin Qingyuan's return and Yang Chaoyue's arrival, and then to celebrate the completion of the 20,000 yuan sales target.
After drinking, everyone sat down and started eating. After working for a day, they were all very hungry, so everyone ate much faster than usual.
Huang Xiaoming took a cue from the flying guest who came today, "Chaoyue, do you think our Chinese restaurant is relaxing?"
"I'm a little tired..." Yang Chaoyue shook his head and sighed, saying with a tired face: "Originally, I used to talk a lot on the show, but today when I came to the Chinese restaurant, I was so busy that I didn't have time to speak.
There is simply so much work to do, it seems like it will never be done.”
"You couldn't stand it on the first day you came here?" Lin Qingyuan asked with a smile.
Yang Chaoyue curled her lips listlessly, "I feel like I've finished several days of work today..."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, they knew this feeling much better than Yang Chaoyue.
"I originally wanted to lose weight." Lin Qingyuan expressed his worries about happiness, "but I feel like I eat a little more than the target I set every day."
"Because every meal cooked by Brother Xiao Lin and Brother Liang is very delicious." Cheng Xiao agreed with Lin Qingyuan's point of view. She originally wanted to come here to lose weight.
"Yes, and we eat very late every time, which stimulates our appetite even more." Zhao Liying joined the conversation.
"What should I do? I need to lose weight for my next movie, and the director said I can't be so healthy." Lin Qingyuan was referring to Ma Defu in "Mountains and Seas".
"It is recommended to exercise more in the morning and evening." Zhao Liying has a very good habit and has a fixed time for fitness and shaping every day, otherwise she would not be able to come back after giving birth so quickly.
"Let's just skip breakfast."
"No, not eating breakfast is bad for your stomach."
Although Cheng Xiao usually doesn't eat breakfast much when she rests at home, and her schedule is very irregular, this does not prevent her from persuading Lin Qingyuan to eat on time.
"It's only for this half month, it'll be fine." Lin Qingyuan didn't think his stomach was that fragile.
A few people were chatting lively, but Huang Xiaoming kept looking at his phone absentmindedly, not knowing what happened to make him look so sad.
"Brother Xiaoming, what's wrong?" Lin Qingyuan noticed Huang Xiaoming's strange behavior very carefully.
"Because there is heavy rainfall in the nearby watershed, and the total height of our ship and water level exceeds the water level limit, for safety reasons, our Chinese restaurant will not be able to sail to Wuhan." Huang Xiaoming sighed, "So we have to advance
We got off the ship and took a bus to Wuhan."
A sudden unexpected change disrupted everyone's plans.
But there must be a way to reach the mountain. The store manager Huang Xiaoming and the celebrity Lin Qingyuan got up and went to discuss with the program team, hoping that the program team could help borrow a restaurant for business.
The program team said yes. Not only did they unconditionally support Manager Huang's decision, but they would also provide vehicles to transport people and supplies to Wuhan.
In addition, program sponsor Fang Chunzhen will make up the remaining 80,000 yuan to raise enough 100,000 yuan to support the Chinese restaurant's charity in Wuhan.
After the meeting, everyone started washing the dishes.
At about eleven o'clock, everyone finished work and returned to their respective rooms.
After Cheng Xiao took a shower, he saw an additional message on the interface of his mobile phone.
Yuan Bao: [Come to the balcony?]
Cheng Xiao responded with an OK expression, then simply packed up and walked to the balcony in his slippers.
In the quiet night, a boy wearing a white T-shirt leaned on the railing and looked at the distant river view. His originally fashionable hairstyle, because it had just been washed, was now hanging neatly on his forehead to form bangs, and his hair was stained with
With a few drops of water on it, it feels a bit like the gentle school grass from the student days.
With an eloquent smile on his face, Cheng Xiao walked to the far left side of the balcony, trying to get as close as possible to Lin Qingyuan.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" She faced the Yangtze River, but her eyes were looking to the side.
"I'm not waiting for you." Lin Qingyuan glanced at Cheng Xiao, then withdrew his gaze and handed over his coat.
“It’s easy to catch a cold if you blow cold air right after taking a shower.”
"Then why did you bring some clothes here?" Cheng Xiao took the clothes from Lin Qingyuan, put them on first and then pulled the zipper to the top, feeling the warmth that was exclusive to her, and she felt sweet in her heart.
Even the tired body and mind after a busy day were healed a lot.
"I just think you won't refuse my invitation." Lin Qingyuan winked at her.
Cheng Xiao looked at Lin Qingyuan like this and was speechless for a long time, his heart was so weak.
Lin Qingyuan returned to the room and poured a cup of hot coffee for Cheng Xiao and handed it to her.
"Have a cup of coffee?" He also held a cup in his hand.
"Do you give me the right to refuse?" Cheng Xiao took the cup of hot coffee and took a sip. The sweetness was moderate, just the way she liked it.
"It's not as sweet as the coffee you can brew." She lowered her head and buried half of her face in her raised collar, and secretly smiled at Lin Qingyuan's thoughtfulness.
"You like to drink Coke, so I thought the sweetness you like might be a little higher."
"I guess you are interested." Cheng Xiao raised his beautiful eyes and smiled at him.
"Do you know why I came to this show?" Lin Qingyuan looked into Cheng Xiao's eyes, "Because I feel I owe you. I work at least 300 days out of 365 days a year, so I can really spend time with you.
In fact, it’s really very, very few.”
"But don't we meet every night?" Cheng Xiao took a sip of coffee to hide his shyness.
"Maybe it's because your desire threshold is very low, so it's so easy to be satisfied." Lin Qingyuan said with a smile.
Cheng Xiao hesitated to speak. Although she felt that what Lin Qingyuan said was wrong, after thinking about it carefully, she really couldn't find anything to refute him.
The two of them just stared at the Yangtze River under the night in silence for a while.
"I can't be satisfied..." Cheng Xiao sighed and lowered his eyes, "After I came back from South Korea, all the friends I made before gradually lost contact, and I didn't make many friends in the country, and I live there all the time.
I rarely see my family in Beijing, so sometimes I really feel like I am living on an island."
Sometimes Cheng Xiao really feels that her private personality is boring and terrible, so she keeps cats and lizards to keep her company.
"There are dozens of people on this boat staring at me, and nearly half of the young people outside this boat know me, plus agents, assistants, employees, fans... I have been surrounded by many people, but I have
Sometimes you still feel inexplicably lonely, so don’t pay too much attention, in fact, many people are just like you."
"At least you're not watching the Yangtze River alone."
Cheng Xiao was stunned. If I didn't come, wouldn't he be watching the Yangtze River alone?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Lin Qingyuan, only to find that he was also looking at her.
Everyone in this world is actually an island, but there will always be people stopping to stay.
Either now or in the future.
She had seen the falling stars in these beautiful eyes more than once before.
