At six o'clock in the evening, Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue ran into the house on time.
Aimilan had already prepared dinner, and they almost fell asleep while waiting for it.
"Why is it so late? You didn't even call to tell me in advance."
Li Qingjue put away his schoolbag, washed his hands, and helped Ai Lan set the table.
"Xiao Qian and I are busy making songs, so we'll be late when we get back. Mom, you don't have to wait for us."
Xiao Qian came out behind her.
"Where's my dad?"
Aimilan served them food and then said: "Your father has gone on an inspection trip."
Now that the Xiao family's two restaurants are on track, Xiao Guoji and Ai Lan have less to do. Basically, the couple will be responsible for one restaurant, taking charge of the accounts, handling the restaurant's affairs, and supervising the kitchen to ensure food.
To achieve high quality, you don’t need to work early and stay late as in the past.
"Inspection? Does dad have any big plans?"
Aimilan trusted her son very much and knew that Xiao Qian was better than them in many things.
"Qingjue's father said that the construction over Lujiazui is almost complete. Major companies have begun to move in, and the environment is very good. In addition, the subway station over Dongchang Road has begun construction, and there is a good building nearby, which can be used for catering.
.If it is completed, it will at least attract all the white-collar workers working nearby."
With that said, Amilan also brought over a map and showed it to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian took one look and was stunned.
The location of the real estate that Xiao Guoji planned to acquire, if he read correctly, should be the storefront of Yonghe Doujiu in his previous life.
Because this store is next to the Dongchang Road subway station and close to the nearby business district, it has an exaggerated number of customers and business is extremely booming.
When did dad have such a good business vision?
After thinking about it, Xiao Qian realized that these were all the work of Li Jianguo.
With such an in-law, Xiao Guoji naturally has a huge advantage in intelligence.
The Dongchang Road subway station has just started construction, and it will still take several years before it is completed and put into use. Most people have never imagined that this place will become a prime location in the future, and they are unaware of its value.
Xiao Guoji entered the market many years in advance and could seize the opportunity at a very favorable price.
Sorry, goodbye to Yonghe Soybean Milk. From now on, what will exist here will be Mulan Restaurant.
Xiao Guoji and his wife have experience in running two school restaurants and are very comfortable in fast food. Starting a business for busy white-collar workers nearby is not difficult at all as long as they improve their exquisite taste.
In China today, the concept of Western-style fast food is not broad enough, so Xiao Guoji and his wife have already begun to get involved in the field of Chinese-style fast food.
It’s hard to say that in the next few years, they will become the biggest Chinese fast food giant in China.
While Xiao Qian was eating, he lamented the miraculous progress of his father and mother. At the same time, he was mumbling something like "S County snacks", "Yellow Braised Chicken", "L State Ramen" and other words that Ai Lan and Li Qing would never understand.
Come.
Fortunately, Li Qingjue remembered what was going on and ran over to turn on the TV. The sound of music woke Xiao Qian up from her reverie.
Only then did he remember that today is Saturday, the day "Weekly Music" is broadcast.
The reason why today is important is that Qu Qi will be on stage today.
Xiao Qian thought of something and asked Li Qingjue: "How is the sales of Qu Qi's new album?"
He has been busy with a lot of things recently and has been a bit neglectful.
Li Qingjue really knew.
"Sister Qu Qi's new album was released on Wednesday. As of today, the sales volume has reached 1.7 million. It is even better than SHE at that time."
Xiao Qian was not jealous.
"There is no way, SHE is a newcomer and cannot compare with singers like Qu Qi who have been famous for a long time."
Qu Qi has been a household name for a long time. This time his style has changed and the songs are classics. It is only natural that they will become popular.
Xiao Qian was eating and watching the program, observing it carefully.
Nowadays, the singers who appear on the show come from many different sources. Without the internal involvement of Starlight Entertainment, Ran Hongyu has great power and really controls the lifeblood of the singers.
However, this woman is also very shrewd. Although the resources for starring roles will be more inclined towards famous singers, she will also leave enough space for grassroots singers.
In this way, all aspects are satisfied, and the popularity of the program remains high.
But after watching the whole episode, Xiao Qian was still not satisfied.
He has guided so hard, but there are still not many singers in China who can sing and dance. Most of them are keen on the love song route, and they will stand there and sing honestly when they get on stage.
More tricks are just a matter of bringing in a few musical instruments. Many singers still think it’s cool to hold a guitar and play and sing at the same time.
But such songs cannot be said to be bad, and many good songs also make the audience mesmerized. It is just a waste of the stage carefully prepared by the program team, so many dazzling effects cannot be used at all.
The overall atmosphere was quiet and far inferior to Korean singing shows of the same period.
Until the end, Qu Qi made his final appearance. His appearance alone made the audience roar.
It can be seen that many of the audience who came to the scene today are here for Qu Qi.
Compared with when she was in Starlight Entertainment, Qu Qi's image has changed drastically. The original waterfall-like waves have turned into crisp, ear-length short hair.
The two exposed ears were equipped with exquisite earrings, which shone brightly when the light illuminated them, making her face even more delicate.
Wearing a white lace shirt, straight trousers, and black high-heeled leather shoes, the whole person suddenly has a heroic temperament.
Obviously, the audience did not expect that the familiar Qu Qi would become what he is now.
But her new look is really beautiful, and she immediately captured everyone's hearts. Men were eager, and women were fascinated, and they all became captives of the queen.
It can be predicted that after today's program ends, there will be many more short-haired girls like this on the street.
The queen's treatment is unmatched by others. Even if she is the finale, Qu Qi has two songs to perform.
Other singers can only be envious and jealous and don't even dare to question.
Who said that Qu Qi's new album was a double-gold hit? "Looking at Flowers in the Smoke" and "Walk Away" both topped the list of golden hits, and no one could shake them.
Qu Qi first performed "Seeing Flowers in the Smoke".
This performance is very traditional, and Qu Qi, like most singers, just stands in front of the microphone and sings her heart out.
It's just that the beauty of the Queen of Heaven is looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairy.
As soon as "Smoke and mirrors" ended, the whole place became restless. Obviously, most people today are waiting for this last performance.
In the MV, the combination of music and dance amazed countless people. However, because there were too many scene changes, it was a pity that the complete dance could not be watched.
Only by being on the scene and capturing it with your eyes can you know how such a handsome dance is performed.
It is no exaggeration to say that many of the audience who came to the scene today came here to learn how to dance. There were even several people from other entertainment companies and professional dancers among them, all with the intention of stealing their lessons.
Before "Walking Back", who would have thought of combining traditional martial arts with modern pop dance?
In the minds of many people, these are obviously two completely different things.
But Qu Qi did it, and performed it so perfectly, her talent was astonishing, and the whole world was shocked.
When she sang "Seeing Flowers in the Smoke", Qu Qi also had backup dancers. Now that the second song started, those backup dancers quickly got into the mood again and gathered around her.
The standing microphone in front of Qu Qi was removed, he put on a headset and took a stance.
As soon as the erhu and pipa played together, the audience went crazy. If it weren't for the railings, they would have rushed to the stage.
The other singers who returned to the waiting room were all stunned when they saw this scene, and the last trace of dissatisfaction disappeared.
Queen Qu Qi is so terrifying!
The audience seemed to know that the intro of the song was very short, so after bursting out their inner joy as much as possible, the scene suddenly fell silent.
This is the time for Qu Qi to take over everything.
She and her backup dancers began to dance, and at the same time, her increasingly exquisite singing voice was full of charm.
But many people completely ignored her singing and focused on her every move.
Chinese music has always been full of good songs, but good dances are rare.
The spread of art since ancient times has always been about singing and dancing. It seems that because of this tradition, the Chinese people have always been somewhat different in the combination of singing and dancing.
That's why when good dance music appears, people will be so crazy.
Qu Qi was extremely satisfied with the cheers of the audience. She danced gracefully, and against the backdrop of light and sound, she suddenly had the demeanor of a great master.
At the end of the performance, a handheld camera came closer. Qu Qi's arms moved in a circular motion, and the entire TV screen also turned violently, seemingly upside down.
Amy Milan and Li Qingjue both exclaimed in surprise, especially Li Qingjue, who was so frightened that he even dropped his chopsticks.
"Wow, why did Sister Qu Qi stand on her head?"
Xiao Qian helped her change a pair of chopsticks, admiring the queen's domineering attitude.
"It's not that Qu Qi stood on his head, it's just that the camera turned."
