This night, Huo Yiyi didn't stay at home again. She went on a date with Lorna again. This time they met in a hotel box. There was a TV in the box.
The two of them were eating and drinking while watching "The Voice of China" being played on TV.
Occasionally, they would exchange a few words.
Looking at the TV, before the No. 1 contestant Pan Qianqian finished singing "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", three instructors had already turned their chairs, and only La Ying was left. Luo Na smiled and asked Huo Yiyi, "
Yiyi, which one are you on the stage? Are you next?"
Huo Yiyi shook her head, put a piece of macaroni into her mouth, chewed it, and said with a smile: "I don't know this either. When recording, I was the 21st contestant, and there were 20 others in front of me, but I heard Brother Quan say
This program was edited later, and the order in which each contestant appeared was different from the order it was broadcast on TV."
Lorna nodded slightly, "Well, I hope I can see you on this show! Otherwise, I will have to accompany you to watch it again next time the show is broadcast, haha."
Huo Yiyi laughed, "What? You don't want to come with me?"
Lorna shook her head, "That's not true, but as you know, the company headquarters recently gave me instructions to expand more new stores here as soon as possible. It's not like you don't know how busy I have been recently."
Huo Yiyi was silent for two seconds, nodded slightly, and sighed: "Yes! You have been very busy recently, and I don't know what Sister Yuan and Brother Quan are thinking. It's the end of the year, and you are suddenly asked to speed up the expansion. We will wait for the Spring Festival.
It’s holiday, and many people in Magic City will go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. By then, the popularity of the entire city will plummet. Can’t we wait until next year to expand our branches?”
Luo Na smiled and just said: "It's not just me. I heard that our entire company has been expanding rapidly recently. This is the decision of Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing. They are the bosses. Since they have decided so, we
These part-time workers can only carry out the work."
Huo Yiyi shook his head slightly and sighed.
While they were talking, on the TV, Pan Qianqian's performance had ended, and the three swivel-chair instructors began to show off their talents and rob people in all kinds of unlimited ways. This scene was quite novel for both Huo Yiyi and Luo Na.
Lorna: "Huh? This is quite interesting!"
Huo Yiyi laughed, "I didn't expect that these instructors would not only act like this after I finished singing, but also when the first contestant finished singing, they would act like this."
When Luo Na heard this, she looked at her curiously, "So, when you finished singing, there were several instructors who turned the chair for you? By the way, how many instructors turned the chair for you? Are there many players like this?"
Huo Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Three too!"
On TV, Pan Qianqian finally chose mentor Liu Huan.
At this time, the host Hua Shao came on the stage again, and after enthusiastically asking Pan Qianqian to leave the stage, he said a few lines, and then took a deep breath again. Lorna and Huo Yiyi in front of the TV saw this guy deeply
Taking a breath, they both stopped the chopsticks in their hands unconsciously and looked at Mr. Hua on the TV without blinking.
Mr. Hua did not disappoint them, nor did he keep them waiting.
After taking a deep breath, Hua Shao's machine gun-like speaking speed once again spouted out a new advertisement, a brand new advertisement.
——"99 Braised Chicken, The Voice of China. Welcome to watch the Voice of China, sponsored by 99 Braised Chicken. 99 Braised Chicken, the fighting chicken in the Braised Chicken, you have to eat yellow to watch the Voice of China. To eat the 99 Braised Chicken,
When braised chicken, eat 99 yellow braised chicken. When listening to music, watch The Voice of China..."
It’s the kind of advertising that doesn’t take a breath without stopping. Hua Shao’s way of reading the words and the speed of his speech can easily make people wonder if he is in a hurry, so he rushes to finish reading the words of the advertisement so that he can go.
To the restroom.
In front of the TV, Huo Yiyi: "..."
Lorna: "..."
The only word that can describe their expressions at this time is "dumbfounded".
Hua Shao's machine-gun-like way of pronouncing words did not shock them. After all, they had seen Hua Shao's advertisement for Wong Lao Kat herbal tea in this way before.
What shocked them was that Hua Shao's advertisement this time turned out to be 99 braised chicken...the fighting chicken among braised chickens?
"Who wrote such vulgar advertising slogans?"
After a while, the second contestant on TV had already stepped onto the stage and started singing. Only then did Luo Na come back to her senses and looked at Huo Yiyi with a complicated face and asked.
Huo Yiyi smiled bitterly, "I don't know. When I was recording this program, I didn't see the host reading the advertisement."
Lorna lowered her head slightly, sighed, and suddenly laughed and shook her head.
"Maybe it was written by Brother Quan. Do you want me to call him now and ask him?" Huo Yiyi suddenly frowned slightly, thinking of this possibility.
Lorna raised her head in surprise, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Well, then give me a call and ask! I've read a few of his novels, and sometimes he seems to write in this style."
Huo Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, put down her chopsticks, took her handbag, took out her mobile phone, found Sun Quan's number, and dialed it immediately.
…
Hangzhou.
In the hotel room, Sun Quan and Xu Qin were still sitting in front of the TV, drinking and watching "The Voice of China". Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Qin called out, "Who is it? Boss, is the dish you ordered just now ready?"
Before Sun Quan could answer, she had already stood up and trotted over to open the door. When Sun Quan looked, there was indeed a waiter pushing a food station outside the door.
The food was about to be eaten, and Sun Quan smiled. Drinking wine without food is always not perfect. When the food and wine are served, the wine will taste much better.
He is in a good mood.
Just then, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID was Huo Yiyi's name.
Why is she calling me now?
Could it be that she felt guilty after just watching Pan Qianqian, who was the first to take the stage, perform?
Isn't that the case?
When Huo Yiyi was recording a program on Blueberry Channel that day, he happened to be at the scene. Huo Yiyi played the song Qinghai-Tibet Plateau very well. The high pitch made many viewers feel numb, including his grandson.
And when she finished singing that day, three instructors turned their chairs. It stands to reason that although Pan Qianqian's performance just now was great, Huo Yiyi should have no reason to be afraid. Firstly, they are not the same type of singers. Secondly, she Huo Yiyi
Yiyi's performance is not weaker than Pan Qianqian's.
"Hello? Have you eaten?"
When the call was connected, Sun Quan casually said a Chinese greeting.
Huo Yiyi: "Brother Quan, are you watching "The Voice of China"?"
Sun Quan glanced at the second contestant who was already singing on the TV, and wondered if Huo Yiyi heard the singing on the TV through her mobile phone?
"Well, yes, you are watching too, right?"
he asked with a smile.
Huo Yiyi: "Well, by the way, Brother Quan, the advertisement that the host read just now, the one about your 99-year-old braised chicken... uh, was it written by you?"
Sun Quan chuckled, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is your writing okay?"
Huo Yiyi: "..."
A few seconds later, Huo Yiyi said, "Did you really write it?"
Sun Quan: "Well, is it interesting?"
Huo Yiyi: "Oh, Brother Quan, with all due respect, I think everything else is fine, but that sentence about the fighting chicken among the braised chicken...hehe, hehe."
She actually said "haha" twice in a row. What did she mean?
Sun Quan suppressed a smile, "Isn't it a bit vulgar?"
Huo Yiyi: "Haha, you feel this way too? Then you still write like this?"
Sun Quan reached out and grabbed a can of beer on the coffee table, took a sip and said with a smile: "I did it on purpose, what's wrong with being a little vulgar? It should impress most of the audience, right?"
Haha, you also know that my braised chicken is not a high-end dish. It is just affordable. Advertising on TV can easily make people think that our braised chicken is very expensive. Some potential consumer groups have listened.
, maybe it will give up the idea of trying it. If I write the advertisement in a more vulgar way, no one will think that this dish is expensive. It’s good, isn’t it?”
On the other end of the phone, Huo Yiyi actually put her phone on speakerphone when the call was first dialed, so not only did she hear Sun Quan's explanation, but Lorna next to her also heard it.
After listening, they looked at each other.
Lorna saw surprise in Huo Yiyi's eyes, while Huo Yiyi saw emotion in Lorna's eyes.
"That's it. Well, from what you said, it seems like that's true. By the way, Brother Quan, I heard that your company has been expanding rapidly recently. Is it because this advertisement you ran on Blueberry Channel is going to be on it?
"
"Well, that's right! It's rare to have an advertisement like this on a big channel like Blueberry Channel, so of course you have to take advantage of this opportunity. By the way, where are you now? Magic City? When will you go back to Hangzhou to record the next part?
"
"Well, I wish your company will become an instant success this time and make a lot of money. Yes, I am in Shanghai now. Well, as for when I will return to Hangzhou to record the program... I have to wait for the notice from the program team, right?
Brother, do you know when it is?"
…
The two chatted on the phone for several minutes.
In these few minutes, the hotel waiter had already brought the dishes from the dining car out one by one and placed them on the coffee table in front of Sun Quan, with Xu Qin helping.
After a few minutes, the call ended.
Xu Qin stretched out her hand and said, "Brother Quan, eat it while it's hot! It will cool down later."
Sun Quan hummed, picked up the vegetables with his chopsticks, and said casually: "You eat too! There is so much that I can't finish by myself, let's eat together!"
Xu Qin responded with a smile and happily stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
On TV, the second singer who appeared on TV was a little more normal than Pan Qianqian who appeared on the first stage. This was a male contestant and he sang the song "Daybreak". At the beginning, his pitch was not high.
, the singing was quite soothing and had a very heart-to-heart feeling, but as I sang, the pitch got higher and higher, and as soon as the high note finally climbed to the top, the audience in the auditorium stood up and applauded excitedly, and applauded as hard as they could.
.
It turns out that this male player is not that normal either, and his high notes are exceptional.
Sun Quan nodded slightly when he heard this, with a pleased expression.
…
And in that private room in the Magic City.
At this time, Lorna was sighing: "Well, I don't know how my old classmate's cooking skills are now, but his grasp of people's hearts is far better than those of our classmates. What he just said makes sense."
