Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...
"Professor Han Hong, Mr. Wang Yueheng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Was the meal delicious?"
Zhang Jiuzhou, the owner of Dongyulou, entered the private room, shook hands and greeted them warmly, then smiled and asked the two singers in front of him.
As he said this, his gaze fell on Wang Yueheng, who was visiting the restaurant for the first time.
"It's delicious and authentic. No wonder it's a century-old restaurant."
"I was thinking of packing up the leftovers to take home and have them as a late-night snack."
Wang Yueheng said with a smile.
"I just heard you two singing in the private room, and I don't think I've ever heard this song before. May I ask what the song is called?"
Then Zhang Jiuzhou asked out of curiosity.
In fact, he had arrived at the door earlier, but he only knocked on the door after listening to Wang Yueheng's new song.
This song also resonated with him, a man now in his middle age.
"The song is called 'Ordinary Man's Song,' and it's a new song that Yue Heng wrote on a whim."
Han Hong answered on behalf of Wang Yueheng.
"Amazing, amazing! No wonder he's a genius singer from our Dragon Kingdom."
"It's a rare treat for the two teachers to grace our Dongyulou restaurant with their presence and even sing a new song. How about this, this meal is on me."
"Mr. Yue Heng, if you find any dish to your liking, just tell the lobby manager, Xiao Shen, and the kitchen will pack it up for you to take home."
Upon hearing the song title mentioned by the other party, Zhang Jiuzhou immediately spoke up generously.
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. I was originally going to treat Teacher Yue Heng to this meal. I can't accept such a treat without having done anything for him."
Upon hearing this, Han Hong hurriedly declined.
“I’m a straightforward person and I don’t like beating around the bush. Actually, I’ve come here today to ask you two for a favor.”
"Xiao Shen and the others also know that I am a loyal fan of Mr. Wang Yueheng. I can recite all the poems you write by heart."
“I had each of Mr. Yue Heng’s poems copied by a famous calligrapher and then framed and hung in my study at home.”
"So I would like to make a bold request: could Teacher Yue Heng also bestow a piece of calligraphy upon our century-old Dongyulou?"
"When it's hung in the hotel lobby, it will be a perfect match between this once-in-a-century cultural giant and our century-old establishment!"
Zhang Jiuzhou, the hotel owner, spoke candidly in one breath.
"General Manager Zhang really likes Mr. Wang Yueheng's poems and often quotes them to teach us during meetings."
"Many famous figures have also inscribed words and gifts for Dongyulou, but General Manager Zhang felt that none of them were suitable to be hung in Dongyulou stores..."
Shen Hongjing, the lobby manager dressed in a gray business suit, quickly chimed in.
Judging from their expressions, Wang Yueheng could tell that neither of them was lying.
And for many writers who enjoy writing and painting.
If one's own work could be hung in the main hall of the century-old Dongyulou store, it would be something to be proud of.
It's even better than getting a provincial, municipal, or national-level calligraphy master title.
After all, apart from truly famous calligraphers who are renowned both at home and abroad, the works of ordinary calligraphers are not valuable and are mostly given as gifts to entrepreneurs or schools.
People like Wang Yueheng, who have their calligraphy works displayed inside the provincial public security department, are extremely rare.
"I know it's a bit unreasonable to exchange a meal for a piece of calligraphy by Mr. Wang Yueheng."
"But Zhang Jiuzhou is definitely not a stingy person who likes to take advantage of others."
"If Mr. Wang Yueheng would be so kind as to bestow a piece of his calligraphy upon our restaurant, then every time you dine at Dongyulou, your meal will be on the house!"
Before Wang Yueheng could answer, Zhang Jiuzhou continued earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Han Hong's expression changed slightly.
I've eaten here so many times, and the owner has never said anything like that if I sing a song for the restaurant, I can get free meals forever.
The maximum number of dishes that can be given away is [number].
After all, Dongyulou enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad, and it has never lacked celebrity diners.
The treatment given to Wang Yueheng this time was indeed an exception.
If Wang Yueheng brings investors or celebrity friends to dine here next time, Dongyulou will give the whole place a free meal, which would be incredibly prestigious.
Even local high-ranking officials or well-known public figures in Hunan Province may not receive such treatment!
"Since Mr. Zhang has already said so, it would seem unreasonable of me to refuse."
"Would it be convenient to prepare paper, ink, brush, and inkstone?"
