Although it was autumn, it was dawn at six o'clock in Beichong. People doing morning exercises found a dark-skinned woman running along the road, followed by two foreigners, one black and one white.
Naturally, you cannot wear sunglasses during long-distance running. However, the mornings in Beichong are lazy. Most people who know Miss Houston are still fast asleep in bed. So what everyone is interested in is that foreigners also exercise early in Beichong?
In fact, some people are more interested in other things - I heard that yesterday, six foreign women lived in District Chief Chen's home, plus a Chinese woman. What is the situation?
For example, when Liao Dabao came to the district government at 7:50, someone nodded and said hello, "Director Liao didn't come with District Mayor Chen today?"
"Well," Director Liao snorted without explaining, thinking that these people are so idle. He received a call yesterday and learned that a group of people had moved into District Chief Chen's house, and the District Chief asked him not to come over in the morning.
He didn't think about the inside story, but he believed that District Chief Chen would not ignore everyone's feelings so much and would probably have something to say.
Today is the last day before the long holiday. When Chen Taizhong came to the district government, it was eight o'clock sharp. In addition to having a party in the evening, a fashion show tomorrow, and some holiday arrangements.
After finishing these things, it was already past nine or ten. District Chief Chen got up and went to his small courtyard. He found that Catherine and others were also getting up, so he woke up Bella and Grace who were sleeping soundly, and went with Whitney.
Small auditorium.
This group of them is of course the most dazzling. After walking in, Li Shilu came over with a little girl not long after, "Brother Taizhong, this is my wife. She asked for leave in advance... Can Whitney come over today?"
Can’t sing?”
"It's not a big problem," Chen Taizhong smiled. Miss Houston had just said on the way that she planned to go to the stage to try her voice.
Ma Xiaoya was also surrounded by the three people she brought. Mr. Ma said calmly, "It shouldn't be a big problem... Look, she's about to go up."
Yesterday, not many people knew who Whitney Houston was. Today, basically everyone in Beichong knew that a foreign singer who was regarded as a top-notch singer in the world had come to the district.
Whitney put on sunglasses again today, as if this way, others would not know who she was. After sitting for a while, she walked onto the stage with a white woman. When others saw her, they quickly got out of her way.
No need for instructions from others.
After going up, the Caucasian woman took the microphone, turned it on, blew twice, and tried the sound by babbling. When the sound engineer next to her saw this, she immediately stepped forward and turned the mixer slightly.
Make adjustments.
The woman tried it twice and felt satisfied, so she handed the microphone to Miss Houston.
Whitney did not take off her glasses. She took the microphone and took a deep breath, as if she was brewing a feeling. With just such a move, the audience fell silent. Are you finally going to sing?
The next moment, a low and slightly resentful voice sounded. It was the theme song "I Will Always Love You" from the movie "The Bodyguard" she shot during her peak period. It was once very popular in mainland China and had a profound influence.
Just singing a cappella can make this song melodious and soul-stirring, showing an extremely wide vocal range and extremely exquisite control of details. In addition to the famous Whitney Houston, there are several people in the world who can do this.
get?
When the song ended, everyone was still immersed in the beautiful music. After a long time, thunderous applause broke out in the auditorium.
"This is the level of a queen," Xiao Wu sighed deeply, turned his head and grabbed Ma Xiaoya's wrist, and spoke excitedly, "Mr. Ma, Sister Ma, Boss Ma... please give me a
If there is an opportunity, I would like to sing along, preferably duet."
"Tsk, you have no rules," Ma Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him, then looked at her own wrist that was being held, and spoke calmly and powerfully, "Let go now, what are you doing?"
"Hey, aren't you anxious?" Xiao Wu smiled and let go of his hand, "Sister Ma, please."
"What are you asking for? How can you sing accompaniment for this kind of song with your popular singing skills?" The senior said. The two of them are about the same fame now, but he is the senior, so he scolded him in a pretentious manner.
Then he glanced at Ma Xiaoya and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, look... can you arrange a duet between me and her? Everything else can be discussed."
He was blocked by Yin Jinghua because he was a little annoyed. When he came, he emphasized the issue of appearance fees. Now that he saw Whitney Houston come on stage, he couldn't sit still anymore. Fees didn't matter anymore——
It's all easy to discuss.
Aren't you talking about the small place in Beichong? Ma Xiaoya has always been worried about him in her heart. In her eyes, Xiao Wu should be cuter. Seeing Whitney come on stage, forcing him to plead, this feeling in her heart
There are simply no words to describe how comfortable it is - it will only benefit your modesty if you are full of tricks, so don't talk too much about your life.
Of course, she was not so superficial as to express her happiness, and there was even a hint of embarrassment on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded slightly, "I can ask for help, but I can't guarantee it. It mainly depends on District Chief Chen and
Whitney means.”
"I'll go up and try my voice too," the senior nodded and stood up. This was a self-recommendation. His strength was there after all.
Ma Xiaoya smiled and said to herself that your singing skills are still far behind Whitney's. Besides, even if others admire you, they can't stop Taizhong from saying a word.
Just as he was walking to the stage, Ye Xiaohui and a group of girls had just walked in from the door. When they saw the dark-skinned woman on the stage put down the microphone, some people couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, what did we miss?"
"
"Didn't you say that she can't sing now?" Some girls asked in low voices and doubts. They are art students who pay a lot of attention to entertainment news, fashion trends and the like. There was no definite news yesterday about Whitman.
Whether Ni will come on stage, some people have thought that she may not have recovered from her trough.
However, despite this, everyone is quite satisfied to see this legend in the music industry. Now that they find her actually standing on the stage, the excitement in their hearts is obvious.
"Ye Zi, a dancer... a dancer," a girl suddenly grabbed Ye Xiaohui, excited and a little incoherent, "Xiao Qing can accompany us, our graduation project... we will find a job in the future... this is too special."
"Shh," Xiao Yezi quickly raised a finger and looked around nervously, "I don't dare to say anything casually. I have to go and find out. District Chief Chen is not easy to talk to."
After singing a song, Whitney walked off the stage and sat down next to Chen Taizhong, "How do you feel?"
"Very good," District Chief Chen nodded with a smile. In fact, he has seven skills and six skills in music appreciation - he knows nothing about music. He feels that he really can't appreciate the babbling singing.
"I'm far from my best," Whitney shook her head slowly, but it could be heard that she was still in a good mood, "But there's no need to worry about others' ridicule."
After the two joked for a while, District Chief Chen saw Niu Xiaorui waving to him from a distance, so he stood up and walked over. Editor Niu asked in a low voice, "Can I do an exclusive interview with Whitney?"
"I'm afraid this is not good," Chen Taizhong shook his head, wondering why are you joining in the fun at this time? "You are in the media, don't you know what trouble she is facing now? She wants to keep a low profile now."
"I don't want to write about her recent life. Can't I let her recall her past youthful years?" Niu Xiaorui was a little annoyed. "I still have this quality...she wants to go to Beichong's party, right? This is also called
Low profile?"
"Hey, you think too highly of Beichong," Chen Taizhong shook his head in confusion and turned around to leave.
Next thing he knew, the queen was thinking about more than just the interview. Ma Xiaoya came over and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Zeng, who came with me, decided to come to Beichong immediately. Can I let Whitney do it?"
Take her with you?"
"Then go and talk to her." District Chief Chen was not very interested in this. He and her were just making a simple exchange. Everyone got what they needed. There was no need for him to be accommodating to some little person. It would be too shameful.
He didn't want foreigners to underestimate him - deep down, he not only had a deep-rooted sense of racial superiority, but also an acquired sense of superiority as a cadre.
What about the queen of the singing world? Are you a member of the system?
"I'm looking for her... what should I do if she doesn't agree?" Ma Xiaoya is a little embarrassed. She is from the art department, so she naturally knows how powerful and influential that person is. In fact, she believes that even if he is the sum total
Mr. Su would also scream when he saw Whitney.
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard that. Seeing that she was still in trouble, he couldn't say anything, "Actually, in the early morning, when she went upstairs and opened the door, she saw everything... But at that time
You are already asleep."
"No way?" Ma Xiaoya was surprised at first. She blushed a little when she thought that such a shameful scene was seen by outsiders. But then she thought about it, it was not that big of a deal. The two parties were from two different worlds.
People may not have such opportunities to cooperate in the future, and the class we are in does not value these things very much.
But she was still a little hesitant. Catherine could talk to Whitney on an equal footing, but she couldn't. Things like class really existed objectively. It didn't mean that she and Catherine had reached the same level just because they slept with the same man.
——Isa is just Catherine's bodyguard and personal assistant, "But...it's very chaotic in Europe and America, right? What if she doesn't agree?"
"She won't be as stupid as you think," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, "No matter in any industry, people who can reach the top will not be short of brains."
"Then I'll go talk to her," Ma Xiaoya finally nodded and begged, "If it doesn't work, you can tell her for me... Taizhong, I'm just hanging out here, so all I can do is save face."
"If she rejects you, you will definitely not be the one regretting it," Chen Taizhong replied lightly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a Piaotian Literature member to recommend it. Your support is my greatest support.
