Chapter 231 Agreeing Immediately
Yu Li naturally wouldn't let Qi Chenyan accompany her. It wasn't that she was afraid Qi Chenyan would be seduced by a vixen; after all, if Qi Chenyan was so easily seduced, there would be no point in this marriage.
Firstly, it was to avoid emboldening her rival, and secondly, because Qi Chenyan was too busy with work, she naturally didn't need to bother him with such trivial matters.
So Yu Li took her best friend to the concert.
Believe it or not, although Jiang Donglin is not a celebrity, his entourage is comparable to that of a star.
At the entrance of the Grand Theatre, a considerable number of his fans had already arrived, bringing flowers and banners. Although the scale was not very large, it was already considered a breakthrough for a musician outside the music circle.
Yu Li, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to receive a ticket thanks to Tang Shi, and it was a VIP seat in the very front row.
They even received VIP treatment upon entry. As soon as they showed their tickets, staff led them directly through the VIP channel, instead of having to queue outside for ticket inspection like regular audience members.
Jiang Donglin's orchestra is a foreign orchestra that enjoys a very high reputation internationally.
The band had been touring all over the world, and with the end of the year approaching, they finally made it to Beijing.
The entire theater was packed, demonstrating the orchestra's popularity.
Yu Li didn't know much about violin playing before, but she learned about it in detail while collecting materials for this episode, which was preparing to invite Jiang Donglin as a guest.
Even Yu Li felt that if this show continued like this, she would learn about all walks of life and become an all-around host.
My best friend loves music, otherwise she wouldn't be a singer if she were a fan.
Both of them listened with great interest. In order to better communicate with Jiang Donglin after the concert and thus impress him, Yu Li not only listened attentively but also took out her notebook to take notes.
Although everyone who came to the concert was a music lover, Yu Li was one of the few who not only listened attentively but also took notes.
And because Yu Li's seat was in the VIP seat in the very front row, she was easily seen by the people on stage.
During his performance, Jiang Donglin naturally noticed this very unique audience member in the audience.
As soon as Jiang Donglin returned to the dressing room to remove his makeup after the concert, staff members came over to inquire about his situation.
"Mr. Jiang, two ladies say they are from the TV station and would like to meet you."
Jiang Donglin often encounters reporters who want to interview him like this. He has other work to do, so he always refuses outright: "Just say I'm busy with work and don't have time for any interviews."
I originally thought that after saying that, the other party would give up and leave.
But as soon as Jiang Donglin opened the door to leave, Yu Li and Qi Xi, who were sitting on the ground, immediately got up and stopped him.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you."
Jiang Donglin initially thought the person blocking his way was a fan and was about to get angry, but after seeing Yu Li's face, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.
"This lady looks familiar."
Yu Li was a little surprised that the other person said that, but she didn't think too much about it and took out her work ID.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, I am Yu Li, a host from Lantian TV. This is my work ID. Do you have time now so we can talk privately?"
Jiang Donglin first glanced at the clothes spread out on the ground, then his gaze fell on Yu Li's pretty face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that the person who wanted to see me was Miss Yu. I've kept Miss Yu waiting outside. Please come in."
Upon hearing this, Yu Li and Qi Xi exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat puzzled.
This was their first time meeting Jiang Donglin, but the way he spoke made him sound like an acquaintance.
Could it be that Tang Shi mentioned her to Jiang Donglin?
But Yu Li felt that this was unlikely, since Tang Shi didn't like her and would never introduce her to Jiang Donglin.
After entering the lounge, Jiang Donglin personally poured water.
"We don't have tea leaves here, would plain water be alright, Miss Yu?"
Yu Li thanked him, saying, "Mr. Jiang, you're too kind. We can do it ourselves."
"It's alright. It was my oversight that made Miss Yu wait outside for so long. Please have a seat."
After everyone was seated, Yu Li first explained her purpose: "Mr. Jiang, it's like this, Blue Sky TV has an interview program called 'Celebrity Interviews,' and I am the host of this program. 'Celebrity Interviews' is mainly based on..."
Before Yu Li could finish introducing the program, Jiang Donglin suddenly spoke up: "Celebrity Interviews, I know this program. I remember that Director Qi from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also participated in this program. It's very famous. Even though I've been abroad for a long time, I've still watched it."
Yu Li never expected that her show would become popular overseas.
Yu Li was naturally happy to receive the other party's affirmation.
"I didn't expect you to have watched 'Celebrity Interviews'. So let me get straight to the point. I'd like to invite you to be the guest for the ninth episode. The main focus of the interview will be on the violin. Do you have time?"
"Of course, if you don't have time right now, we can schedule the next episode. It mainly depends on your availability."
Because when you talk to a guest, they are usually big names in the industry. They are not only high-profile but also very busy. It's not like Yu Li can invite them whenever she wants.
Therefore, when inviting guests later, Yu Li would always have two backup options.
If she can't invite either of the two backup options in time, she will suspend the broadcast of this episode.
While she was naturally delighted that the show was consistently popular, she couldn't sacrifice quality for the sake of airing the show.
If she can't invite the guests she wants, she'd rather take a break.
Of course, Yu Li really wanted to invite Jiang Donglin as the guest for the ninth episode, but she also knew that it wouldn't be easy to finalize the deal just by chatting with him.
I was just about to start by talking about the violin and some professional knowledge in order to gain the other person's favor and impress them more.
Before Yu Li could even begin her preparations, Jiang Donglin readily agreed: "I happen to be free this Friday."
Even Yu Li hesitated for a moment, "Are you... sure you want to participate? Won't you reconsider?"
"Ms. Yu, may I take a look at your notebook?"
Yu Li was a little surprised, "How did Mr. Jiang know I brought a notebook?"
As she spoke, Yu Li took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to the other person.
Jiang Donglin flipped through the pages. “Miss Yu’s position is very conspicuous. Moreover, in all the concerts I’ve held, this is the first time I’ve seen someone in the audience listening to the performance and taking notes at the same time.”
"And it's not just random notes. From Ms. Yu's notes, it's clear that she also knows how to play the violin. With such a professional and responsible host, the program must be excellent. I believe in Ms. Yu."
