On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Guoji and his family were preparing to return to Shanghai.
The dining hall must be sorted out before school starts so that the students cannot have anything to eat.
But this time we went back, there were more people.
Xiao An and Xiao Ping brought about twenty people from grandma's house, and Li Zhenghong also brought about the same number of people from grandma's house.
The mighty army looks very majestic.
People are like this, once they set an example, the rest of the people will immediately follow.
Xiao An, Xiao Ping, and Li Zhenghong were not doing very well at first, but when they came back after being away for a year, they were completely transformed. How could they not care about their relatives and friends who fell into poverty?
It happened that the business there was short of manpower, so Xiao Guoji and Ai Milan discussed it and brought all these people with them.
After returning this time, in addition to the reopening of Shangyin's restaurant, Xiao Guoji and Ai Milan also obtained the business license for Shangxi. In other words, Mulan Restaurant will have a branch.
More manpower is needed, and there is no one more reliable than these people who know the basics.
Xiao An's wish to fly back did not come true. He must be responsible for taking these people with him. Otherwise, these people will definitely get lost.
Xiao Guoji and Ai Lan took Xiao Qian back first.
At this time, the northeast wind is still biting, but the magic city can already feel the warmth of spring.
Xiao Qian put on thin clothes, felt light all over, and flew to the next door like a swallow.
Li Qingjue's family has returned a long time ago.
"Xiao Qian, do you miss me?"
When they met, Li Qingjue was very concerned about this.
She always remembered that she suffered a lot because of this in school last year.
I can't just think about this guy all the time. What if he doesn't miss me?
Seeing Li Qingjue's nervous and expectant look, Xiao Qian narrowed her eyes and nodded sharply.
"I think about it. I miss you every day, no, I miss you every moment."
After hearing his words, Li Jianguo and Xu Mingxia's expressions gradually became strange. Seeing their daughter's beaming smile, the two adults shook their heads helplessly.
This silly daughter...
Li Qingjue was so happy that he asked: "Then did you see me on the Spring Festival Gala?"
Xiao Qian hurriedly said: "Look, you sing better."
Li Qingjue raised his foot and stomped him.
"Stupid Xiao Qian, you lied to me, I didn't sing at all."
Xiao Qian's face felt embarrassed and her feet ached.
How old are you, you have learned to test? If you were older, would you still have a way to survive?
"Qingjue, don't be angry. I didn't lie to you on purpose. Look, I even brought you a gift."
Xiao Qian is not a real child and knows that he must make girls happy at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard about the gift, Li Qingjue's little mouth no longer hung out. Instead, he tilted his head, and although he had a cold face, his eyes kept wandering.
Xiao Qian took out a large wooden box from his bag. The appearance alone was very exquisite, which made Li Qingjue look forward to it even more.
After he opened it, Li Qingjue exclaimed.
"Wow! So beautiful."
Inside the big box, there were dozens of small and large dolls carved from wood, which were lifelike and dazzling.
Li Qingjue took the box, picked up the largest wooden doll and played with it carefully.
"Mom, look, she's so beautiful."
Xu Mingxia was also stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Qian to be so good at choosing gifts.
"Isn't this a matryoshka doll? It's hard for Xiao Qian."
Xiao Qian rubbed her nose and became happy.
"As long as Qing Jue likes it."
He was really afraid that Xu Mingxia would open her mouth and say, "Maryoshka dolls are prohibited here." In that case, he would be in danger.
A set of Russian matryoshka dolls successfully bribed Li Qingjue. The little girl finally stopped being angry and gave Xiao Qian a gift in return.
A mouth organ carved from mahogany is lifelike, but of course it cannot be played.
Xiao Qian seriously doubted whether Li Qingjue had stolen it from his grandfather's study. But now that it fell into his hands, it was his.
After meeting again after a long absence, the two children were unwilling to separate for a moment. They said goodbye to Li Jianguo and Xu Mingxia, and they went to Starlight Entertainment Company hand in hand.
The atmosphere here is completely different from the Chinese New Year. On the contrary, it is full of smoke and tense.
The selection of the new girl group has reached the final moment, and the candidates are about to be selected. The remaining more than ten girls are all very confident and working hard, absolutely not wanting to fail at the last moment.
In the last selection, Xiao Qian did not participate because he went back to his hometown for the New Year. Therefore, the first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to check the last assessment record.
The new girl group is the first group of artists that he has devoted his efforts to, so he cares about it very much.
"How's it going? Nothing went wrong, right? We conducted the assessment strictly in accordance with your regulations, and we didn't dare to mess around at all."
Weng Zhian was chattering anxiously from the side.
Although he is the boss, he does not understand the operation of acting, so he is afraid that he will make mistakes because of himself, and then it will be too late.
Xiao Qian read it completely and couldn't be more satisfied.
"Uncle Weng, it's okay. Your assessment record can be used as a template for future trainee selections. It's amazing, it's really amazing."
Looking at Xiao Qian's thumbs up, Weng Zhian finally smiled.
"Oh, since you're not here, I feel panicked. I'm afraid that if I miss a good idea or choose the wrong person, it will be terrible."
Having said this, he was still very regretful.
"But, Xiaoqian, I think all of us trainees are pretty good. Among the remaining dozen or so people, I really can't tell who is higher and who is lower. Even Teacher Irelia said that they
Their standards are all good enough to debut. Do you think we should continue with the selection?"
Xiao Qian nodded matter-of-factly.
"Of course."
Weng Zhian was a little unwilling to give up.
"If it's a girl group, it shouldn't be a problem if these kids debut together, right?"
Xiao Qian knocked on the table and decided to have a good communication with Weng Zhian.
"Generally speaking, there is no limit on the number of people in a girl group. A few people are fine, and dozens of people are not a problem."
Weng Zhian slapped his thigh and shouted: "Come on, then why not let the remaining children debut together?"
Xiao Qian finally put forward his thoughts.
He spread his hands and asked: "It's okay to let them debut together, but the question is, do we have the experience to run a large-scale girl group?"
"Well……"
Weng Zhi'an was speechless and couldn't help but scratch his head.
Xiao Qian has experienced large-scale girl groups. There should not be too many 48 groups in her previous life. When they perform on stage together, you can't tell who is who.
But the problem is that he has only seen it, but he has no idea how such a large-scale girl group operates and is managed.
Not to mention such a large girl group, even an ordinary idol group, he still doesn't understand.
The idol group he is preparing now is just based on what he saw and heard in his previous life. The essence and connotation of it also requires him to slowly learn and understand it in the process of management.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Qian was very wise.
He knew very well that the smaller the number of people in the first idol group to operate without any experience, the easier it would be to manage and operate it.
With fewer people, there are fewer things to do, the team size is smaller, and fewer staff are needed.
The less of everything, the fewer problems.
"Then how many people do you plan to have for our first combination?"
Xiao Qian gave Weng Zhi'an an explanation.
"My thinking is, three is enough."
"What? Just three?"
Weng Zhian was a little bit shocked.
"Xiao Qian, we have recruited so many good talents. Isn't it such a waste that only three of them will debut in the end?"
Xiao Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Do you think this is farming, where quantity wins? The number of people doesn't mean much, as long as it can create substantial value, even if it's just one debut, it's enough."
Weng Zhian was still very distressed.
"What about the remaining good seedlings?"
Xiao Qian said calmly: "What else can we do? They can't debut, so of course they will be eliminated."
Weng Zhian grabbed his hand.
"Xiao Qian, you have seen the strength of those children. Isn't it a pity to give up like that?"
At this time, Xiao Qian showed the cold side of the entertainment company boss.
"What should we do? After the new girl group debuts, all the resources of the company will inevitably be diverted, and there will no longer be any spare capacity to launch others. They stay in the company and wait for a few years. They are older and have no chance."
Having said this, he suddenly looked at Weng Zhian and said meaningfully: "Uncle Weng, couldn't you have been having an affair with one of them while I was away?"
Weng Zhian was furious.
"Asshole, if you don't know how to use words, don't use them. Am I that kind of person?"
Xiao Qian shook his head.
"I still can't forget your purpose of working in the entertainment company."
Weng Zhi'an's old face turned red and he ran away.
