Godly Stay-Home Dad (English)
The Unexpected Program
The main material for clay sculpture is clay. The two of them felt it was fantastic as a living statue slowly formed in front of them as the old man slowly squeezed out the mud and stained it.
It was eleven o'clock when the clay statue was finally completed. It took more than three hours.
“The statue is finished.” After he finished, the old man put it in a box, tied it shut, and handed it to Zi Yan.
“Thank you, Mr. Liu.” Zi Yan accepted it happily.
“How much is it?” Zhou Fei asked as he held onto his bag.
“As far as you are,” the old man smiled and said.
He did not lack for money and making clay sculptures was just one of his hobbies.
“Erm ..” Zhou Fei was a little confused because he did not know the market price for clay sculptures.
Looking at Zhou Fei's expression, the old man chuckled and said, “Leave it 200 yuan.”
“200 yuan?” Zhou Fei was silent. Although he was unaware of the normal price, he knew that such a delicate clay statue was valued at over two hundred yuan. 200 yuan might not even be enough for him to squeeze one of the hands-in-law.
“Feifei, leave all our cash,” Zi Yan said suddenly.
Hearing his words, Zhou Fei instantly took out more than two piles of notes from his bag and placed them on a small table.
“Master Liu, the clay statue you made is very important to me. I consider it a work of art that is impossible to measure. Thank you, Mr. Liu. Now I have to go. ”Zi Yan smiled, gently nodded his head and turned to leave with Zhou Fei.
After hearing what he said, the old man slightly shook his head.
“What a beautiful statue.” Zhou Fei repeatedly sighed with emotion after he walked out of the store, “This is really that kind of taxi driver. But Mr. Liu, at that twilight age, seemed very lonely because his children and wife were not around. ”
“Maybe ..” Zi Yan looked back to the store and said gently, “This is something every parent should go through.”
At this moment, Zi Yan somewhat missed her parents. Last contact was like a month ago? And they haven't seen each other since a year ago. At that time, they also had white hair.
Meanwhile, Zi Yan felt somewhat helpless. As a child of a large family, he could buy whatever he wanted and live a free life, but there was a skeleton in every family's closet. Zi Yan was a little envious of the slow rural life.
“Old Sister Yan, will we go to lunch first? I'm so hungry. ” As Zhou Fei spoke, his stomach growled.
“We can find the nearest restaurant for lunch ..” As soon as Zi Yan replied, Zhou Fei's phone rang.
He picked up the phone and put it down after saying a few words. Then he brought his lips closer to Zi Yan's ears and said in a low voice,
“This is Elder Brother Jia. He had something to discuss with us and invited us to lunch with him. It's just the three of us. Do you agree?”
After thinking for a while, Zi Yan nodded gently. With his permission, Zhou Fei picked up the phone to answer him and closed it after settling down on the spot to meet.
“I don't know what he wants to discuss with us,” Zhou Fei muttered as he reached out his hand to stop the taxi.
After they boarded a taxi, the driver drove them to Yasi Restaurant, which was five hundred meters from their hotel.
“Welcome. Table for two? ”After seeing the guests enter, the front desk manager greeted them with a smile.
“Jia Dong has booked a room,” Zhou Fei replied.
“You are Mr. Jia's guest. Please come through here. Xiaohua, guide them to room 888, ” the manager said to the waiter.
The servant brought Zi Yan and Zhou Fei into the room.
Even though it was just an ordinary room, the decor style remained fresh and unique. There was a small round table with six chairs surrounding it, with several flower pots and furniture. Jia Dong was sitting on one of the chairs, playing with his phone. Upon seeing the two of them, he nodded with a smile and said,
“you there. Please sit. ”
Then he said to the waiter, “You can bring food.”
“Oke.” The waiter smiled and nodded.
About five minutes later, all the dishes Jia Dong ordered were served. Although they were only three people at the table, Jia Dong ordered eight special dishes and a bottle of Remy Martin.
Jia Dong personally poured wine to Zi Zi and Zhou Fei. After finishing the first gulp, Zi Yan said,
“Why do you want to meet us, Childe Jia?”
“Oh, here's the problem.” When it came to business, Jia Dong became serious. He smiled and replied,
“There's a program called My Voice that was recorded the day after tomorrow. The guest star for the next episode was Yuan Shuangshuang, but she called the program division this morning and said that she had to return because one of her relatives was seriously ill. So, the program division needs to find a new guest star to replace it. After I heard the news, I remembered you and thought that this episode would be more interesting if you took part. Can you spare some time, Zi Yan? ”
WHOOSHS!
Zhou Fei's eyes shone in an instant.
My Voice is a very popular program, which combines music with games. Using the incredible performances of the six contestants on the show and the random opinions of the hosts, guests need to find out who the real singers are and sing along with them. It's really an interesting program.
Zhou Fei knew that this program would be beneficial and help Zi Yan become more popular. Moreover, since the TV Stations Zi Yan and Jiang Yuan were still attracting people's attention, the publicity would be more effective now.
“Elder Sister Yan!” Realizing that Zi Yan was unable to decide, Zhou Fei became anxious and could not remind him.
Zhou Fei was stunned by the sudden opportunity. Zi Yan, however, gave sufficient thought to this matter.
He had already promised to return tonight and did not know if Mengmeng was unhappy.
At this moment, Zi Yan was somewhat hesitant as the news came as a total shock.
But ...he is aware of his condition, and this program will help him a lot.
After a pause, Zi Yan finally nodded and agreed,
“Thank you, Childe Jia.”
“Sama-sama.” Jia Dong laughed out loud. With a gleam in his eyes, he hesitantly said, “Old Brother Lin chatted with me after you left yesterday. He really appreciates you, so I pay attention to the current program.I never expected that I would find this show. “
“Thank you, Child Lin. Thank you for your kindness, ” replied Zi Yan.
“This is no problem.” Jia Dong shook his head and said, “I recommend you mainly because of your good temperament and attractiveness.I heard that some media and some paparazzi are watching you. “
“Oh ..”
Jia Dong did not speak of the job anymore. Instead, he chatted with Zi Yan and Zhou Fei about some interesting things in the Entertainment Circle.
About half-one, lunch is over. Jia Dong escorted the two of them back to the hotel directly.
But suddenly, as they were about to reach the door, several reporters rushed out.
They ran and asked in a hurry,
“Hello, Zi Yan. What do you think of the incident involving Jiang Yuan TV Station? “
“I heard you'll appear in a large-scale movie. Is this news true? “
“…”
“Excuse me. We are not holding a press conference right now, please stand aside! ” Zhou Fei immediately protected Zi Yan and rushed to the hotel with Zi Yan.
As soon as they saw them enter the hotel, the reporters stopped asking, then shook their heads and left with regret.
As for Jia Dong, who was standing beside the car, he slightly shook his head and sighed.
These people were also arranged by him. Their only goal was to help Zi Yan recapture the feeling of being a popular star. With that, he would be even more excited for success, which would pave the way for Childe Lin's plan. However, what just happened was only the beginning. As long as Zi Yan came out, a large number of reporters would appear.
“Beautiful flowers are quickly picked. I don't know if Zi Yan is lucky or not. ”
Jia Dong sighed, then went inside the can and left.
After Zi Yan and Zhou Fei returned to the room, Zhou Fei snorted and joked,
“Old Sister Yan, maybe you should bring some bodyguards when you go!”
“It's not excessive as you say. I'm not that popular yet. ”Zi Yan gave her a gentle response, but her eyes were filled with joy.
Being followed by paparazzi and reporters indirectly meant she was rather popular, but it intruded on her personal privacy. Zi Yan did not expect her journey to the mainland to go so smoothly.
Although the incident at Jiang Yuan TV Station had not started well, it became a special kind of hype due to Hanyang's help.
“I really did not expect Childe Jia to be so kind and invite Elder Sister Yan to My Voice,” Zhou Fei said curiously.
“It may also be related to Lin Jie.” While speaking, Zi Yan became emotionless. After thinking for a while, he said, “Despite whether he was involved or not, let's believe that Childe Jia did it for a good cause. We will return to Hong Kong the day after we finish recording. “
“Oke.” Zhou Fei nodded.
“I'll call Zhang Han first. I don't know how angry Mengmeng is because I can't go back today. ”Zi Yan walked into the bedroom with his phone and dialed Zhang Han's number.
“Zhang Han.”
“Mmm.”
“I ...” Zi Yan pursed her lips and said, “I can't go back today.”
“Is something wrong?” Ask Zhang Han.
“Ya, a program called My Voice invited me to be a guest because the original couldn't come. I should be able to return the day after tomorrow or three days from now. “
“Oh.” Zhang Han's eyes narrowed and there was a dead silence.
Ten seconds later, Zi Yan was somehow a little stunned. He turned his lips and said, “Why didn't you say something?”
“I ...” Zhang Han pondered for a moment, then said, “Who set up this program for you?”
“Child of the head of the operator of the TV station, whose name is Jia Dong.” After a pause, Zi Yan replied honestly.
“Do you know Lin Jie?” Ask Zhang Han.
“Erm ..” Zi Yan hesitated for a moment and then said, “Jia Dong invited us to dinner, and we met Lin Jie there. When I talk to you, he's not far from me, and he even borrows my phone later. ”
After thinking for a while, Zi Yan still did not tell Zhang Han that they insulted him at the table because she thought it would put Zhang Han in a bad mood.
But he did not know that Zhang Han always ignored insignificant people.
