"Boss, is there a new Chinese record arriving recently?"

"Yes."

"Really? Is that the case...... Such...... What about songs? Several of the schoolgirls were pleasantly surprised to describe to the shopkeeper a few songs they had heard tonight.

"Nope!" The boss thought about it seriously, all the purchase orders were handled by him, and there was indeed no song described by the customer in his impression.

"Boss, take out all your Chinese records and tapes, we need to find a few songs!" After a while, another wave of teenagers came to the store, shouting as soon as they came.

"All the records are on the cabinet, what songs are you looking for? Do you want me to recommend a few new songs from Taiwan? The boss said kindly.

"No, no, we just want the ones we heard tonight! Boss, have you ever done this...... Such...... A new song? The boy said to the boss with a gesture.

"Nope!"

"It's so bad, and it is also known as the most complete and up-to-date Chinese song video store on Hong Kong Island! Let's go! ā€

"......" The boss was speechless for a while.

"Boss, please help me find a few Chinese songs. The lyrics are like this, listen to me. A young man who looked like a white-collar worker walked in front and back, and also asked the boss to help find a Chinese song.

"Nope!" The shop owner is a little strange, why do so many people come to ask about Chinese songs tonight? When did the people of Xiangjiang become enthusiastic about Chinese songs again?

"Oh, boss, you'd better find the source of the goods, and notify me when the goods arrive, this is my number." The young man walked away disappointed.

"Boss, do you have a ...... in your store?"

"Boss, is there a ......?"

"Boss, do you have any ...... here?"

"No, no, no!" One night, thirty or forty waves of customers came in to ask for Chinese songs, but they couldn't do a single business, and the boss was a little crazy!

At ten o'clock in the evening, when the shop was about to close, two men and two women walked in, and the shopkeeper cheered up and came forward to greet him.

"Boss, I heard that your store has the most complete and up-to-date Chinese songs from various places, please help me find it, is there such a song?" Dong Xiaofen dragged her friend, and she had already walked through ten video stores and did not find the song "Later" she wanted, if this so-called most complete Chinese record store did not have it, then she would be dead.

"Not really, don't ask any more questions!" The shopkeeper was already weak.

Boom, boom, a roar of a locomotive, a young man outside the store was in a hurry, the car was parked, and the helmet was just taken off and shouted, "Boss......

The shopkeeper shuddered, he'd heard enough of this opening tonight.

"It's you!" Ah Hao saw that tonight's rival was just one person, and he gloated: "You're also here to find a song, right?" Haha, I'm sorry to tell you, there's no one here! ā€

Ah Hua was a little disappointed when he heard this, looked at Ah Hao in disgust, turned his head to the girl and said, "Hey, you are also looking for a song?" We're still in the same class, but your boyfriend is too inferior, which lowers your taste! As he spoke, he turned to leave.

Dong Xiaofen stopped him and hurriedly asked, "Do you know, that singer, will he come tomorrow?" ā€

Ah Hua thought for a while, frowned, and said: "I don't know, Archie guesses that he may be a singer who wandered from other places, and he will go to other places after staying in Xiangjiang for a period of time to save enough living expenses." Or he is a foreign singer, he came to Xiangjiang for a tour, and he came to Temple Street tonight, which was just a ticket play on his whim, so he has not revealed his identity. ā€

"That's the case......" Dong Xiaofen couldn't help but be disappointed.

"You don't have to look elsewhere, I've found more than 20 stores, big and small, and I don't have a single song! Hey, I really let Archie say right, I really can't find those songs in Xiangjiang! I'm leaving, you can come over tomorrow too, let's find a way to pry his mouth open together! He's the only one who's made an exception for you tonight! Bye! Ah Hua waved his hand, got on his mount, and sped away.

……

"Paparazzi Chang, what's the matter with calling so late?" Zhong Yihao put down the book in his hand, picked up the phone microphone that rang non-stop, and said impatiently.

"Mr. Zhong, I have a big discovery on Temple Street tonight, so I'm going to report it to you right away!" A male voice on the other side of the microphone said very excitedly.

"What good things can be done in Temple Street? If there's a fart, let it go! ā€

"Mr. Zhong, this time is really a big surprise, I don't lie to you! When I was shopping in Temple Street tonight, I found a very powerful rookie singer, and his songs are really good and unheard of! ā€

"A very powerful new singer has come to Temple Street? Hmph, do you have no money to spend, and you want to cheat me again? As far as your knowledge is concerned, of course, it is unheard of! Zhong Yihao pouted. There are either big operas in Temple Street, or some scholars singing so-called citizen songs, all of which are non-mainstream.

Paparazzi Chang hurriedly distinguished: "No, Mr. Zhong, I swear it's true this time!" His songs are very popular with everyone, let me tell you, at that time, the whole temple street was almost empty, everyone ran to see "Shooting the Condor", only his booth was surrounded by hundreds of spectators! I asked other people, and they said they had never heard any of these songs! ā€

"Really? Alright then, you bring him to the company to see me in the next two days. ā€

Paparazzi Chang was a little embarrassed, "That brother in sunglasses, his identity is a bit mysterious, and he feels very characterful, I'm afraid he won't go with me." Otherwise, come and see for yourself, I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised! ā€

"Okay, okay, I'll go in two days when I'm free." Zhong Yihao casually agreed, and he didn't take it too seriously.

"Hey, Mr. Zhong, you must pay attention to it this time......" Before the paparazzi Chang finished speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone.

……

Last night, only some anxious fans, running around the major video stores to inquire, the next morning at work, the operators of the major record companies in Xiangjiang, one morning, constantly received customer calls, all inexplicably came to inquire whether the company has recently released, or is about to release Chinese records?

Ringing bell, the consultation phone at the front desk rang again, and the beautiful front desk lady picked up the phone and answered the customer's questions gently, "...... Oh, sir, I'm sorry, PolyGram hasn't released Chinese records recently, thank you! ā€

Hanging up the phone, the front desk lady sighed, Zhong Yihao brewed a cup of coffee and was passing by, and asked curiously: "Lili, are there many fans who come to ask Chinese records today?" ā€

"Yes, I've received fifty or sixty calls from here, saying that I heard a street singer singing on Temple Street last night, and they thought it was very good, so they came to ask us."

"That's it......" Zhong Yihao pinched his chin, thinking about the phone call from the paparazzi last night, it seems that he should indeed go to Temple Street to see for himself.

At the same time, in schools, office buildings, and factories, there are also many people who have been to Temple Street last night, consciously or unconsciously, recommending Cheng Weiliang's songs to their classmates and friends, and boasting to the people around them about their magical experiences on Temple Street last night.

Believe it or not, after listening to the colorful description of the friend, many people were aroused by their curiosity and planned to go there in person to see if the mysterious singer was as divine as his friend boasted?

Word of mouth, in just one day, spread virally.
