Time flies, and in the midst of busyness, on the 18th, Fang Yang packed some simple clothes and, with Mo Sang driving him, headed to Xingcheng with Zhou Xin.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Loser Men and Women" and "Tom and Jerry" were all nominated for the Golden Eagle Award. The fact that four of their works were nominated at once made Yuewen Entertainment Media Group a focus of attention in the industry.

It was almost 3 p.m. when they landed in Changsha. Although the two traveled light, it was still 3:30 p.m. when they got out of the airport. They were picked up by He Jiu, the main host of Hunan TV.

Fang Yang, taking advantage of his height, saw the ageless male god He Jiu standing next to a tall man holding up a sign from afar. He gestured to Zhou Xin and said, "See? Teacher He is waiting at the exit."

Zhou Xin was carrying a backpack and her hands were empty. Upon hearing this, she jumped up and down, "Where? Where? I can't see you?"

Fang Yang pushed a small suitcase in each hand. "Follow me, we'll be there soon."

A few minutes later, Fang Yang and Zhou Xin met up with He Jiu. "Hello, Teacher He!" Zhou Xin greeted He Jiu first.

Actually, He Jiu wasn't very familiar with Fang Yang and Zhou Xin, but seeing the two of them heading straight over, she figured they must be close friends. "Hello, Mr. Fang, hello, Ms. Zhou, you must be tired from your journey!"

He Jiu and the man next to her rushed over to take the suitcase from Fang Yang's hands. Now, Fang Yang's name as the chairman of Yuewen Entertainment Media Group is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and almost everyone addresses him as "General Manager" when they greet him.

Fang Yang avoided the hand He Jiu offered, and handed the other small suitcase to the man with the license plate. "Teacher He, the luggage is not heavy, I can carry one. It's our first time meeting, and I feel unworthy that Teacher He came to pick me up from the airport!"

He Jiu is a person who likes to make friends and has countless friends both inside and outside the industry. Upon hearing this, he laughed and said, "President Fang, you are too kind. This is your first time visiting Hunan, so it is my responsibility as the host to treat you well. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the hotel first, and I will show you the delicious food of Hunan after the show tonight."

Fang Yang knew that He Jiu was the host today, and there were probably a lot of things to deal with at the station, so now was not a good time to talk. "Okay, let's go back first and make an appointment for tonight."

The four quickly returned to the car. The man holding the sign got into the driver's seat, He Jiu sat in the passenger seat, and Fang Yang and Zhou Xin were seated in the second row. This business vehicle was the same as the one used by Fang Yang's company, and it seemed to have become the standard for hospitality in China.

"Mr. Fang, have you had lunch yet? Would you like me to ask the hotel to get you something to eat?"

"Teacher He, you don't need to worry about us. We already had lunch before we went on the computer."

"That's good. I was worried that you hadn't eaten and were too embarrassed to say so, and it wouldn't be good to wait for dinner on an empty stomach. We have a lot of delicious food in Hunan, but the dishes are a bit spicy. Mr. Fang is from Shanghai, right? Can you handle spicy food?"

Fang Yang was touched by He Jiu's thoughtfulness. "Don't worry, Teacher He. We all eat spicy food. We ate authentic Sichuan cuisine every day when we were in Hengdian. We're already used to chili peppers."

"Oh, that's good. The people in the whole country who can eat the spiciest food are Hunan and Sichuan. There's a saying that people in Sichuan aren't afraid of spicy food, and people in Hunan aren't afraid of spicy food either. The two places have similar lifestyles, but people in Sichuan like to add Sichuan peppercorns to their spicy food. This is related to the fact that there are many mountains in that area."

Seeing He Jiu's effortless knowledge of local delicacies, Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh and say, "Teacher He is indeed well-read and has a clear understanding of the local conditions!"

He Jiu waved his hand and said, "President Fang, you don't know, we need to travel all over the country frequently to film programs. Anyone with a little fame will go there. You could say we've measured half of the great rivers and mountains of our motherland with our footsteps. Putting aside everything else, when it comes to food, we do have a certain right to speak."

"So there's a secret to Teacher He's popularity. As the saying goes, it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read a thousand books. We only know that Teacher He is knowledgeable, but we don't think about the hard work behind it!"

He Jiu laughed and said, "If we're talking about being knowledgeable, then it has to be you, President Fang. I've read all of your books, and they're all so well-written. I've always wanted to get to know you, and today my wish has finally come true!"

The car didn't go to the Broadcasting Center, but to the Convention and Exhibition Center. So after leaving the airport, we turned onto the airport expressway and arrived at the Sibo Hotel near the Convention and Exhibition Center in less than half an hour. It's only a kilometer away from the Convention and Exhibition Center, so there's basically no traffic congestion.

He Jiu was in a hurry to get things done. After opening the door and guiding Fang Yang and his companion out of the car, she didn't stand on ceremony. "Mr. Fang, I have too many things to do and can't accompany you right now. Please go in and check in. Your room has already been arranged. You just need to register. The awards ceremony starts at 7:30 pm. Our staff will come to your room at 6:30 pm to do some simple makeup. So remember to eat something early to tide you over."

Fang Yang and Zhou Xin waved, "Teacher He, you can go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us."

Watching He Jiu get into the car and quickly leave the hotel, Fang Yang smiled at Zhou Xin and said, "Teacher He is truly a top-notch host in the industry. Her etiquette is impeccable."

Zhou Xin, swaying her ponytail, walked straight to the front desk. "Hurry up and get the paperwork done. It's already four o'clock. If I take a shower and eat something, it'll be past five. This is too rushed."

Fang Yang shook his head, picked up Zhou Xin with two suitcases, and Zhou Xin had already taken out her ID card to register at the front desk. The receptionist operated the computer for a moment and then handed Zhou Xin her ID card and a room card.

Fang Yang glanced at the room number and saw it was 1208. He then gave his ID card to the receptionist. Soon after, he took the room key and saw that it was room 1209, right next to Zhou Xin's room.

After putting away his ID card and room key, Fang Yang picked up his suitcase and gestured to Zhou Xin, "Let's go, let's go upstairs first. They've probably been here for a while, we'll contact them later."

At this time, most people were probably still in the preparation stage. There were hardly any people in the hotel lobby. It was so quiet and deserted that you couldn't tell that this was a hotel where the Golden Eagle Awards stars were staying. There wasn't even a single reporter outside the door. It seems that Hunan TV did a very good job of keeping things secret.

Taking the elevator to the twelfth floor, stepping on the carpeted floor, there was not a sound at all. After dropping Zhou Xin off at room 1208, Fang Yang returned to his own room.

This is a suite. There is a sofa and coffee table outside, and a bedroom inside. Fang Yang put his suitcase in the bedroom first, and then went back to the outer room. There was a bottle of mineral water on the table. Fang Yang was too lazy to boil water again. He unscrewed the cap and drank some water before going to the glass window.

Standing by the glass window and looking out, the enormous convention center is right in front of you. The arched dome conceals everything inside, making it impossible to see what it looks like. However, from the entrance of the convention center all the way to the inside, the road is covered with a red carpet. Some impatient fans have already taken their positions, while some reporters with their long lenses and tripods have each occupied a good spot and are adjusting their equipment.
