Looking at the half-cut apple peel wrapped in three circles on the chopping board, Lin Luosang slowly turned his head and asked Pei Hanzhou.
"What did you say?"
He was looking at the documents in his hand and replied nonchalantly, "I set up an e-sports team."
Lin Luosang's hand holding the knife trembled slightly: "... just to take me to play games?"
"Not entirely," the man said. "I've had this idea for a long time, and esports is a hot industry right now, so it's no big deal to invest in it."
Not entirely, it means that part of it is her fault?
Lin Luosang put down the apple and the knife in his hand, opened his lips to say something, but lost his voice for a moment.
"Don't feel pressured. I'm not stupid." Pei Hanzhou glanced at her. "I already reviewed the relevant lessons last year."
Since he has formed a team, he will also be responsible for the dreams and future of those children. That is his moral bottom line.
She nodded, leaned over and asked, "So have you been busy with these lately?"
The man flipped through a page of documents and explained calmly, "There's also preparations for the unmanned hotel, which is a key project for Zhou this year and next."
"Unmanned hotel?" This term was quite new to Lin Luosang. "Does it mean there are no waiters?"
"Check-in and room locating are all handled by robots, and robots are also responsible for delivering any daily necessities that need to be added. There won't be waiters within sight of the guests, but there will be someone monitoring the surveillance cameras to facilitate handling if any problems arise." Pei Hanzhou explained to her, "After all, hotels also have to consider safety."
As she listened to the man, she felt her hands were free, so she quickly finished peeling the remaining apples and then asked him, "Can the hotel still provide breakfast?"
He lowered his eyes: "Yes, the restaurant is also served by robots."
"So, you have everything a hotel should have," she said, taking a bite of her apple. "Not only that, but you can also develop other new experiences?"
"Um."
Lin Luosang became interested and leaned over eagerly, "When will it be completed?"
"next year."
Seeing her expression, the man curled his lips and said, "You want to go?"
"Yes," she said. "It sounds interesting."
Pei Hanzhou pinched her earlobe and promised: "When the project is completed, I will take you there first."
Although the privilege brought a slight sense of superiority, Lin Luosang remained very serious: "I shouldn't be the first one, right? Aren't the first ones usually hotel testers?"
After a moment's thought, the man said calmly, "You are treated better than them."
"They try sleeping in a hotel, you can try sleeping with me."
“???”
The record of the year-end report generated with blood and tears slowly emerged in her mind. She chuckled twice, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, staggered a few steps weakly, and slowly left the dangerous place within the man's range.
The next day was still a beautiful day. After breakfast, thinking about what Pei Hanzhou said yesterday, she remembered that she seemed to have not played games for a long time. She opened the APP and it showed that it needed to be upgraded.
After the upgrade was completed, she extended an invitation to Pei Hanzhou.
Soon, two new members, [I have a cat] and [Where is your horse], joined their team.
Lin Luosang looked at their characters and asked Pei Hanzhou, "Are they all boys?"
He nodded.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Then I play games with boys...wouldn't you be unhappy?"
Pei Hanzhou gave her a strange look: "Do I look like such a stingy person?"
Lin Luosang: “…”
Don’t you look like that?
Soon, Lin Luosang finally understood why Pei Hanzhou asked two boys in the team to lead her in ranking.
The two men did not speak on the microphone from beginning to end. They handed the supplies they found to Pei Hanzhou immediately. They had no communication with her at all and stayed more than 300 meters away from her at all times.
Even when she finally drove a car to pick them up, [Where Are You Going] ran faster and got in the car first and sat in the passenger seat. Before she could drive forward, [Where Are You Going] quickly got out and left, sending a sound effect of "Get in the car quickly" in the game to Pei Hanzhou, then trotted all the way to find a motorcycle, and went for a ride on the big motorcycle with [I Have a Cat].
Lin Luosang was speechless for a moment, no longer understanding whether such behavior was the result of professional training or the team members' own consciousness.
After finishing three games, she asked Pei Hanzhou: "Why don't they turn on the microphone?"
The man's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a high-sounding manner, "We work together perfectly, no communication is needed."
Lin Luosang looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, and reluctantly accepted this excuse that had no credibility at all.
Soon, Yue Hui arrived downstairs to pick her up to go to the singing stage.
The album still has one or two months of promotion period. Moreover, with the popularity of "Audio-visual Feast" and "Development Plan", many music-themed variety shows have gradually emerged in China. Many musicians have gotten rid of the dilemma of having nowhere to promote their songs in the past. Riding on the momentum created by Lin Luosang, they are becoming more and more devoted to their favorite careers.
Heating up the music market and allowing more people to see the vitality and potential of the original market can be considered a good direction brought by Lin Luosang through his own abilities and two variety shows.
Some people say that she is a weather vane that opens the era of stage and originality, some people praise her for being the hot topic itself, and some people say that as long as she keeps writing songs, she is "doing charity" for the Chinese music scene.
Faced with all kinds of praise, she never stopped moving forward.
When Lin Luosang got out of the car and entered the venue, he happened to meet Zheng Yan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, at the door.
They haven't seen each other since Feiyan disbanded, but she occasionally sees in the news that Zheng Yan has changed her style and started hosting a popular detective variety show. Her crossover is quite successful.
Zheng Yan had already walked out of the shadow of the past and gave her a big hug as soon as she came up.
"I'm so envious of you," Zheng Yan pinched her chin. "I've had such a comfortable life that I've gained ten pounds, and you're still as young as ever. Alas, time is a butcher's knife; it doesn't kill beauties, it only kills pigs."
Lin Luosang smiled and said, "Isn't it good to live a comfortable life?"
Zheng Yan gave her a glare in disapproval before saying, "Why are you here so early? Are you promoting your song?"
"Yeah," Lin Luosang glanced at the wall clock, "It's late, half past nine."
"Which wealthy wife doesn't sleep until the afternoon, then leisurely get a manicure and drink afternoon tea? Unlike you, who love work so much—" Zheng Yan paused, "By the way, your husband is so rich, has he ever asked you to stop working so he can support you?"
Lin Luosang shook his head: "He respects my work very much."
Men should also know that she really loves her job from the bottom of her heart.
Zheng Yan said sarcastically, "If I were you, the first thing I'd do after marrying into a wealthy family would be quit my job. My husband makes more money than I can spend in my lifetime anyway, so why bother running around so hard every day? And most importantly, you're more likely to run into idiots."
Lin Luosang poked Zheng Yan's chubby face and said, "This is my confidence."
The previous marriage contract marked all the vulgar exchanges of interests, but now it is different between them. Her ideal true love is equal, and one party does not have to rely on the nutrients of the other party to survive.
She hopes that she can be independent and sophisticated even when she is away from Pei Hanzhou. Her career is her foundation, allowing her and Pei Hanzhou to communicate on the same level of excellence and express what she thinks without fear or retreat.
"I know, I was just joking," Zheng Yan said with emotion, "I feel relieved to see that you are getting better and better."
Zheng Yan asked again: "Do you know how netizens describe our group?"
"It's said that when we're together we're nobody, but when we're apart we're a glittering sky of pearls. How fitting, really."
For them, that period of the past was more like a training before ascending to become immortals.
Fortunately, they were open-minded enough and did not become devastated by the difficulties, and found their own way.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Yan, Lin Luosang entered the studio to record a performance for her music show. She recorded two songs in a row, including the title song of the album and one of her favorite songs. The two stage styles were completely different. The intermission was only ten minutes, but the transition was stress-free and there was no trace of each other.
The fans in the audience also gave her the warmest support. At that frozen moment, she seemed to be standing on the stage of her own concert.
Everyone came for her, with light signs and banners waving and cheers rising one after another.
As expected, when she was about to leave, someone asked her about the concert. While calming her breath, she replied, "My first solo tour will be held in the summer after the release of my third album. The theme has been decided, and the venues are almost arranged."
"I started preparing a year ago, and the dancers are selected from very high-quality dancers from home and abroad. Please give me some more time. I hope to give everyone the best experience."
The fans were only busy screaming at the time and didn't react until the people left. They woke up from their dream.
"Did I hear you right? Tour? More than one concert?!"
"Well, if it's really a tour, I'll go to every show."
"Don't get too excited too soon, it's one thing whether you can get the tickets or not, sisters."
"I'm silently praying for an overseas show so that fans abroad can also watch the concert, please!"
After the tour was announced, a heated discussion immediately broke out in Lin Luosang's super topic. Some people were so excited that they even bought a little dress to wear when they met her. Male fans shouted, "Don't we have human rights? We are ridiculed for buying a suit."
Looking at those expectant Weibo posts, she suddenly felt very happy.
Some people are willing to travel across the ocean to listen to her sing a few songs, some are willing to reduce their entertainment expenses to save money to see her, and some will dress up carefully to see her, even if it means they will be drowned in a tiny dot among thousands of people.
Perhaps this is the unspoken understanding among everyone. Both she and her fans will do their best to find their best state for that promise.
Perhaps this is the meaning of their mutual accomplishment.
There was an award ceremony held by a video website in the afternoon. At noon, she went back to change clothes and write some songs, and set off at five o'clock.
All events have red carpet walkways, with cameras set up on both sides like weapons. Female artists can only rely on their faces to withstand the attacks of high-definition artillery and rain of bullets. If they are not careful, a bunch of unretouched photos will be leaked and scattered in the albums of major marketing accounts.
But Lin Luosang is definitely not the type of person who would have a game crash.
Not surprisingly, before she even showed up, when the car was about to arrive, the barrage of comments had already started to flash, "She's coming, she's wearing a courtyard house and is about to walk towards us" and "Let me see if today's jewelry is enough to buy several houses in the second ring road of the capital", as if she had been listed as a key scientific research subject.
After signing her name on the display board and finding her seat, she realized that the person sitting next to her was Ni Tong.
I don’t know who arranged it.
"Singing and Walking", in which Ni Tong participated, was indeed a huge flop, not even reaching one-third of the level of the previous season. Ni Tong's own albums also failed again and again, and did not sell even one second of Lin Luosang's in a year.
The two of them are really not of the same level. When fans are fighting, the big fans of Lin Luosang are reluctant to pay much attention, for fear of giving Ni Tong a boost. Sang fans are occasionally willing to respond, but they adopt a completely contemptuous attitude from a strategic point of view. They only sent 20 people to control the comments, but the top 20 in the comment section are firmly made up of them, which makes fans feel bored. They posted on Weibo: There is no sense of accomplishment in the fight. Can't the other side respect us a little? Can't they buy some likes and compete with us?
Someone responded - I bought it, but I didn’t have enough money so I only bought a little bit, and my family easily exceeded the limit.
So I became a laughing stock, and I never gave him any sympathy again after that.
Perhaps because of the many embarrassing incidents he had committed, Ni Tong kept a low profile today. After entering, he didn't say much and just stared at the stage the whole time.
Lin Luosang was also concentrating on his beat, waiting to go home and make music as soon as he received the award.
If the organizer hadn't told her that there were five prizes and that they would all be wasted if she didn't come, she really wouldn't have come today.
When the award ceremony was halfway through, the actress in the row behind Lin Luosang suddenly won an award. The camera unexpectedly zoomed out, framing Lin Luosang and Ni Tong as well.
Although neither of them was prepared, Lin Luosang still maintained his usual good sitting posture with his head held high and chest out, while Ni Tong had a hunched back, slightly uneven shoulders, and looked listless.
Although Ni Tong quickly sat up when she noticed the camera, she was still photographed by the audience outside who saw the picture.
Many of the audience were entertainment account operators invited by the organizers. Soon, the photo of Lin Luosang and Ni Tonghe swept the trending topics on Weibo, and netizens who were unable to attend the event spontaneously started to eat melons:
Lin Luosang's manners are truly wonderful. Even when she's waiting in the wings, she's so pleasing to the eye. She doesn't hunch over when she walks. Is that something she developed through dancing?
A beautiful woman's elegance truly shines in every aspect. She's beautiful when she cries, when she frowns, and even when she's just sitting there. Pei Hanzhou can enjoy such beautiful scenery every day. I'm sure he'll live a long life.
【Hahahahaha, may God live a long and healthy life.】
I've been wanting to say this for a while now. When I was watching the trainee show, Lin Luosang even walked better than everyone else. It turns out it's all about his demeanor and posture! Starting tomorrow, I'll walk with my head held high and my chest puffed out. It'll also make me look taller!
After everyone focused on Lin Luosang, they quickly turned the question to another key point:
What exactly did Ms. Ni go there for? What could she take away?
[Seems like a new singer.]
I laughed my tailbone off. She's been in the industry for years now, and she's still ashamed of being called a rising star? Just pick a singer who didn't make it. "Sing and Sing" had such a great lineup to begin with, but when it came to her in the second season, it flopped. The third season's investment was still based on the first season's success. I feel so bad for the production team.
Seeing that Ni Tong was so popular, many bloggers broadcast the award ceremony live while also broadcasting the situation between Ni Tong and Lin Luosang.
Just when #林洛桑妮桐# was on the rising trending search list, everyone discovered that Ni Tong was missing.
In a blogger's photo, only Lin Luosang was still sitting in the audience, and the space to her right was empty. Everyone immediately speculated - was it because Ni Tong felt embarrassed after seeing the comments from netizens, so she left early because she was too embarrassed to accept the award?
The speculation was quickly echoed, and everyone felt that leaving early was the best outcome for Ni Tong, so that she wouldn't be beaten by Lin Luosang when they presented the awards together, which would look like bullying a loser.
Just when everyone was talking about and laughing at Ni Tong's sudden departure, a certain internet celebrity who was broadcasting live from the guest seats also started a live broadcast with his mobile phone.
"Next, I'm going to go to Lin Luosang, who was mentioned the most in the comments," said the internet celebrity Mumu with a smile. "If you like him, I hope you'll double-click and give him gifts."
Mumu was walking among the crowd, not forgetting to ask for gifts for himself. He just reached his destination with his back bent. The camera slightly tilted. He wanted to take a picture of Lin Luosang's profile, but unexpectedly, Ni Tong's face appeared in the frame again.
Mumu was startled and his phone shook twice.
Ni Tong was also startled by her: "What's wrong?"
Mumu covered his chin with his fist in shock: "Aren't you... gone??"
"This is my position, why should I leave?" Ni Tong frowned and said, "The event isn't over yet."
"oh oh……"
This internet celebrity has a very low EQ. After answering, he didn't know what to say. He scratched his hair nonchalantly and said, "Haha, I thought you were upset because of the scolding from netizens."
Ni Tong was puzzled: "What did you say?"
"Huh? Didn't you see the trending searches? It was you and Lin Luosang who were trending. You looked really ugly in the photo. Netizens said you had plastic surgery. Then everyone knew you were going to win the New Talent Award, so they advised you not to take it. After all, you and Lin Luosang debuted around the same time. She's won five, and you're still winning the New Talent Award. They think you're shameless or something."
"I really didn't mean any harm. I thought you left early because you cared about what everyone was saying. After all, no one wants to be criticized, right? I didn't expect you to just go to the bathroom..." Mumu whispered, "I wonder if everyone will be disappointed. But don't check Weibo tonight. There are too many people scolding you. I'm afraid you can't handle it."
Mumu stared at the prosthesis on Ni Tong's face for a while, interrupting what Ni Tong was about to say, wondering if she had taken too much hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin. She sincerely wanted to care about her who was hurt by netizens:
"I have a plastic surgeon who does pretty good work. How about I recommend him to you before the livestream is shut down?"
Ni Tong jumped up from his seat, as if his fur exploded after being stepped on: "Where are you from? Are you sick?!"
Mumu then realized that he had said too much and made many mistakes. He was about to apologize, but when he looked up, the number of people in the live broadcast room had increased by 100,000.
The barrage of comments was hilarious:
[Thank you, the language brings me great comfort. If you can't speak, please speak more.]
[So she went to the bathroom. Haha .... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
[This is really embarrassing for me. I wasn't planning on leaving, but now that you've said that, I have no choice but to leave.]
[Fuck, I'm paralyzed from laughing.]
[Recommended plastic surgeon, hahahahahahaha, why don't you two go get your brains fixed together? You can even be fellow patients!]
The gifts in the live broadcast room of the young internet celebrity also reached the highest level ever.
Everyone thanked her for adding an extraordinary touch to an ordinary evening and providing all the laughs in a boring night.
The live broadcast room of the young internet celebrity has gained countless followers.
Of course, Ni Tong was really angry and left in the end - and she even live-streamed her departure in front of thousands of netizens' gazes.
When the person left, the bag was torn to pieces. The little internet celebrity was really a kind-hearted person who didn't think twice and kept shouting: "Why is Hermès so fragile? Did you buy a fake?"
Ni Tong was so angry that she threw the bag directly at her head. The young internet celebrity was stunned for a few seconds, weighed it and said, "Since you gave it to me like this, it must be a fake, right?"
Later, the internet celebrity live-streamed the contents of Ni Tong's bag to everyone, and finally took a look at the logo inside. He finally confirmed that it was a fake, and then posted a Weibo to teach everyone how to identify the authenticity of Hermès.
The hot topic that day, apart from Lin Luosang and Ni Tong, was the little internet celebrity's brilliant move.
Even Yue Hui was enjoying the melon, sharing with Lin Luosang late at night the silly stories of this little internet celebrity's past when she spoke without thinking, and concluded: "This idiot Mumu is the noble person in my life. No matter whether she speaks in a straight line or a sarcastic way, she can't hit Ni Tong in the face like that, but she can speak in a sarcastic way, which is so cool."
What Yue Hui said was right. Even though Ni Tong had endured a lot of ridicule in the past, she had never encountered such infuriating face-to-face comments. It was said that the blow was indeed quite big. She went to the plastic surgery hospital late at night for reshaping, but ended up completely breaking down. She did not appear again for a long time.
Ni Tong's matter finally came to an end, and Lin Luosang devoted all his time to the production of the third album. He made a title song "Summer" in more than two months, and prepared for another month before going abroad to find more professional producers to communicate with.
Pei Hanzhou also went abroad at the same time as her.
Because he received divorce notices from his wife twice while on business trips abroad, President Pei has been allergic to the word "business trip" for a long time, and is particularly averse to traveling abroad.
But this time, seeing Lin Luosang going abroad, he finally boarded the plane with peace of mind.
Lin Luosang stayed in the United States for more than 20 days, and Pei Hanzhou also flew around the world, as if to make up for all the business trips he had not taken before.
Not long after, Lin Luosang received a wedding notice from Yang Yang, saying that she was getting married and had invited all the trainees and all the mentors except Liu Ping, hoping that she would be so kind as to attend.
She had a good relationship with Yang Yang when she was recording the show, so she would naturally go along with the appointment.
Most of the trainees had arrived, and they were all wearing bridesmaid dresses and laughing happily by the bed.
The relationship between the mentors and trainees this year is even better than the previous one. The trainees often get together privately, and some trainees who did not debut at the time also formed new groups with the company.
Lin Luosang was sincere to them, and they were also sincere to her. They all listened to her teachings at the time. Each group had a strong team spirit and never slacked off in terms of professional ability.
Even though the show has been over for so long, she still receives a lot of greetings on WeChat during festivals and holidays, and every time she releases a song, there are trainees who help her forward it.
Everyone chatted in a harmonious atmosphere, as if they were old friends.
Finally, Yang Yang brought the largest group of bridesmaids in history and suggested that everyone dance together again to the theme song of that year.
Many people have forgotten it, but fortunately Lin Luosang watched it twice and recalled it. Everyone recorded a very memorable MV at the beach. In the end, Yang Yang was lifted up by everyone, caught, and then thrown again, and caught again.
Everyone was having a great time, including the groom. Lin Luosang suddenly received a call from Yue Hui. They chatted briefly about work before hanging up.
She watched everyone having fun from afar, saw that the groom was always the first to pick up the bride, and watched the wedding dress sway beautifully in the air. Suddenly, she called Pei Hanzhou.
He didn't answer the first call.
On the second call, the man finally picked up the phone, but didn't speak for a long time.
It somehow reminded her of a previous incident.
Lin Luosang curled the corners of his lips in a heartfelt gesture, looked at the azure sea where the water met the sky, and suddenly lowered his voice.
"I have something to tell you."
Pei Hanzhou:?
The man was deeply traumatized by this divorce opening statement, so he immediately replied, "I won't listen."
"You have to listen, it's important."
The man on the other end was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm still on a business trip abroad and don't want to hear any—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Luosang: "I..."
The man stopped her unhappily, calling her name seriously and signaling her not to say anything more: "Lin Luosang."
She suddenly laughed out loud, looked at the seagulls flapping their wings and flying over the sea, and whispered into the microphone.
"I love you."
