Early Monday morning, a chengguan truck drove up to Riverside Bar Street and stopped in front of the nameless tavern. Several engineering crews jumped out of the car and began to dismantle the tavern's illegal installation: huge billboards.

Lao Liu received a phone call on Sunday, and it was not surprising at this time, standing at the door, watching them busy. After a while, the owners and clerks of the nearby bars also came over one by one to watch the excitement.

"Bang dang!"

The steel frame of the billboard fell to the ground with a terrible loud bang. Lao Liu's face did not change, his eyes swept over the photo of Yan holding the guitar above the billboard, and sighed in his heart.

Several workers laboriously lift the steel frame to load it into the truck.

Lao Liu rushed over and asked, "What are you doing? Demolish it, but this is what I bought, why did you take it away?"

The city manager led by him gently pressed Lao Liu's arm and said, "Big brother, we just have to work." ”

"Why did you pull it away?"

Chengguan smiled and said lazily: "You can't tell us about this." If you have any opinions, you can communicate with our leaders, huh?"

"Lao Liu, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger. Zheng Fat Man trotted over and grabbed his arm.

“……”

Lao Liu was discouraged, stopped talking, and watched the unloaded billboards loaded into the truck. On the side were all acquaintances from the bar street, Lao Liu looked around, and saw all kinds of expressions on people's faces, sympathy, pity, and schadenfreude.

People are complex animals, and these emotions are not contradictory. For thousands of years, Chinese spectators have had this expression on their faces.

“1500。 Chengguan said, tearing off a receipt.

"What?"

"The disassembly fee, transportation fee, and departure fee are a total of 1,500 yuan. ”

“……”

In an instant, Lao Liu's face turned red, and a pair of slender eyes suddenly shone brightly. Chengguan's heart suddenly struck, and he couldn't help but take a step back. When he looked up again, Lao Liu became smiling again, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Pancake Blues" is overwhelming on the Internet, and the chengguan naturally listened to it, and he was very angry. He came to tear down the billboard today, and he was arrogant, but when Lao Liu glared at him, he was a little panicked, as if he had done something wrong.

"Collect money? Thank you for your hard work. Lao Liu's attitude suddenly changed. He took out a black folding wallet and rummaged through it for a long time, only more than 1,300. He turned his head and asked Boss Zheng again, saying. "Fatty, you lend me 200. ”

"Oh. Zheng Fatzi hurriedly touched his pocket.

The truck drove away, and the grass was a mess, and the dirt was turned unsightly. Lao Liu stood alone at the door of the tavern, facing the sunshine and silently thinking about life. The onlookers dispersed, and went back to their homes, sighing as they went.

If a wizard writes a song and offends the city management, people will tear down your signboard. What kind of temper do you have? Do you dare to disagree?

Lao Liu didn't eat breakfast and couldn't eat. At around 9 o'clock in the morning, he drove a small van to the outside of the compound of the Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee building. Park the car and walk along the auxiliary road to the entrance of the compound.

Fang Yan was going to visit a big leader in Jiangdong City to talk about "Pancake Blues". Lao Liu was not at ease, so he accompanied him. After a while, Fang Yan and Xiao Mu also arrived, still holding McDonald's breakfast and putting it in a paper bag.

The propaganda minister and Fang Yan made an appointment at 10 a.m. Fang Yan entered the door, but Lao Liu and Xiao Mu were stopped outside the gate.

"It's okay Lao Liu, you have some food, there is porridge here. ”

"I can't eat it. ”

Xiao Mu lifted his glasses and said seriously: "The government just wants to find a step down." After all, there is too much pressure on the Internet, and they don't look good on their faces. Fang Yan went to serve softly and sell well, and it would be fine. ”

This is exactly the same as what Cao Weiran said on the board of directors the day before yesterday. Lao Liu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Mu and nodded. Just thinking about it, the mobile phones of the two rang at the same time, and they both looked down at WeChat.

In the WeChat group of "Nameless Tavern", Xia Mo posted several screenshots of the webpage, saying: "Let me tell you a good news, our online store has been blocked. System news, there is a problem with our qualifications. ”

He also said, "The store is still there, and you can't place an order or deliver it." ”

“……”

T-shirts sell 100 pieces a day, with a turnover of 80,000 yuan, and 2.4 million a month. After the release of "Pancake Blues", sales increased slightly, and the efficiency of making money was higher than that of the nameless tavern. Now, the tavern is closed, the billboards have been torn down, and the online store has been closed.

Lao Liu's mood was just a little better, and he fell into a deeper trough in an instant. The sun rises higher and higher, the acquaintances among the leaves hum and hiss, and the tires of a car slide across the road like a match in the dark.

"Ahhh......h

"Calm, calm. Xiao Mu hugged him and said.

"Misfortune does not go alone, it comes from the sky, and it comes from the mouth...... The people do not fight with the officials, this is the truth since ancient times. Tell me, Xiao Yan is a small common man, why do you want to provoke an official?"

"Actually, he ......" Xiao Mu swallowed his saliva and said helplessly. "He didn't do anything. ”

The two of them stood at the gate of the municipal party committee compound in a daze, looking at each other, like two geese in the water. It didn't take long for Fang Yan to come out.

Lao Liu anxiously asked with a white face: "So fast! What are you talking about? He didn't scold you, did he?" What did you say?"

"He asked me to write a song. ”

"Huh?"

Fang Yan scratched his hair and said with a smile: "That leader is very good, very polite, he said that "Pancake Blues" is like this, everyone had better look forward." He asked me to write a song about Koto City. Be positive. I said I'd think about it. ”

Lao Liu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about my tavern?"

"What's wrong with the tavern?"

"The tavern is still out of business for rectification, when will it open?"

"I forgot to mention it. ”

“……”

"Lao Liu, don't worry. People don't seem to know about the tavern being shut down. He is in charge of publicity. The tavern will have to go to the government. Fang Yan said.

"That's all there is to it. Lao Liu said. He didn't even know which way the government door was open.

"I'll go back to practice. Brother Xiaomu, let's go together?" Fang Yan asked.

"Good. ”

"I'll send you. Lao Liu said. The Nameless Tavern was closed, and he wanted to wander around. The three of them got into the van and crossed an intersection, and Lao Liu asked again. "Xiao Yan, you still live in an urban village, and you haven't moved yet?"

"No ......"

The exquisite little houses in the Weitang community have been turned into girls' dormitories. 4 people, Xia Mo sleeps on the sofa, Qian Ning sleeps on the carpet, and Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu sleep on the bed. During the day, they watched TV and chatted with each other. Meals and snacks all rely on express delivery.

Now, the online store is not open, and they have nothing to do.

"It's comfortable. If God gives me such a house, I will break up with Yang Zhenyu immediately. Xia Mo sighed faintly.

Qian Ning lowered his head and played with his nails and said, "You have 2% of the shares, and when the company makes money, it is not easy to buy a house." ”

“……”

Feng Lu is 23 years old, the oldest, but she is the only one in the room who is worried. She made a huge determination to leave SS TV and join the Nameless Tavern Company. But as soon as the company released a single, it suffered a major blow and was about to go out of business.

She asked, "...... Aren't you worried?"

"Blind thoughts. Xia Mo said, pointing to Yuan Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet and looking up intently at "Chinese Singer", and said. "Look at how good she is. How did you say that, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and remained unchanged. ”

As the CEO, Qian Ning has no name, the company has just opened, and there is nothing for her to manage. The crisis in front of her was nothing in her opinion, her grandfather liked Fang Yan so much, the old man said a word, and the problem was immediately solved. She always had the urge to tell her grandfather quietly.

Absolutely not.

Whenever the thought came to her, she would dismiss it in disgust. After turning it over and thinking about it a few times, she felt that she must not tell her grandfather. Because if Fang Yan knew, he would definitely be unhappy, and he would feel that he had caused trouble to his grandfather, and he would blame himself for being troublesome.

She began to care about Fang Yan's thoughts, but when she realized this, she hated herself again. She glanced at Yuan Yuan with a little envy, this child was as transparent as an ice cube, carefree, and would only watch TV and laugh at herself.

Ding-dong, the doorbell rings. A voice came from outside the door.

"Courier. ”

"Mine mine. Feng Lu got up, put on his slippers, ran to the door, and took a package.

"What?"

"The visa has arrived. I did it urgently. ”

When she was in Yanjing, Yuan Yuan discussed with her that she wanted to go out to play. Fang Yan's passport arrived from Yanjing, and Feng Lu went to apply for a travel visa and prepared for the three of them to go to RB Dongying to play. Although it was a light bulb, she was still looking forward to it. Growing so big, she's never been anywhere.

Xia Mo looked at everyone's passport photos, suddenly looked up, and said, "Let's go together, shall we?"

……

At 11 p.m., the official residence of the secretary of Koto City. The secretary sat alone in his office on the second floor, staring at the old-fashioned telephone in front of him. The phone doesn't ring once a year.

The secretary said that at 11 p.m., there would be a call from Yanjing.

Chinese officials have a variety of hobbies, but one of the most prevalent is calligraphy. Leaving one's will on the paper through the soft tip of the brush is not only a hard exercise, but also a mental relaxation. On another table, there was a large painting he had just written. The last paragraph of "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself or anything.

The phone rang, and the secretary who was sitting in a precarious position immediately picked it up.

A woman's gentle voice said, "Hello secretary, I'm sorry to disturb you so late." ”

The secretary involuntarily stood up and said, "Hello. ”

"Time is tight, I want to ask about Teacher Fang Yan. ”

Teacher Fang Yan: Who is this? The secretary thought about all the old gentlemen who were highly respected in Jiangdong, and he didn't remember this person. He froze for a second and asked helplessly, "Who?"

"Teacher Fang Yan. ”

"Uh. ”

"It's the wizard of the internet. ”

"Wizard...... Who is it?"

There was a burst of laughter on the other side of the phone, low but clear. When the secretary heard the laughter, he felt that the heavy air in the office had dissipated, and he relaxed and smiled. I heard the other person say, "Pancakes!"

"Oh!"

Come to think of it. Managing a megacity of more than 20 million people, there are so many things to worry about, and the secretary can only worry about the most important things. Although "Pancake Blues" caused negative comments about chengguan on the Internet, it was too small a matter for him to react to at all.

"Mr. Fang Yan's song has caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet, and he has been living in Jiangdong for a while now......"

In the next second, the secretary's heart that had just been put down suddenly tightened again, hanging high in the air, he seemed to be on a roller coaster, just climbed to the top, and stopped for a moment. The perennial officialdom life made his nerves extremely sharp, and he immediately realized the abnormality.

For such a trivial matter, she personally called to inquire, and she spoke with respect and intimacy in her tone, what is the origin of this pancake teacher? The secretary remembered the meeting last Friday night, and seemed to fight back against "Pancake Blues".

"You may not know it, but Mr. Fang Yan is also famous in some countries in Europe and the United States. I think he will be a business card of Chinese culture in the future. Our country's soft power has always been not strong, and it is not easy for his music to arouse the recognition of the Western world, especially Western young people. ”

"Yes. ”

The woman on the phone concluded: "So, Mr. Fang Yan is a rare strategic talent. ”

"It's me who realized it later. ”

"Yes, you see, Jiangdong's cultural industry has developed so well, and now it has attracted such a talent, I am very happy for you. ”

“……”

Gently putting down the phone, the secretary leaned back in his chair, unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, and carefully recalled the conversation just now. There is still such a character hidden in Koto City, and he is surprised and relieved.

The phone call just now is important. Not only is it a kind reminder, but it also hints at something deeper, and it's just as uplifting. However, he really didn't know how the wizard's affairs were arranged. He immediately called his secretary and asked him to invite the mayor and the propaganda minister to come over and have a small meeting.

It was already past 11 o'clock, and the secretary asked a little embarrassed: "It's so late, do you want to make an appointment tomorrow?"

"Today's business is done today. ”

Before 12 o'clock, everyone arrived. In the living room on the first floor of the official residence, the mayor still looked dissatisfied when he talked about "Pancake Blues" and Fang Yan.

"The bar is closed, and guess what this wizard is, he's still singing at the door! I've been singing for three days, and I'm singing tonight! What kind of attitude is this? It's so arrogant! It's clearly provocative. ”

The secretary's secretary was busy making tea, and couldn't help but interject, saying, "I think, ......"

The secretary said: "Xiao Liu, you have something to say, don't say half of it." ”

"Oh. The secretary put the teacups in a proper position and said. "I don't think the wizard is provoking, on the contrary, he's helping us out. ”

"Break the siege?"

The secretary peeked at the mayor, and continued: "The tavern is closed, and the people on the Internet must be even more dissatisfied, and the wizard is still singing at the door at this time, which is actually to appease everyone's emotions." In the past two days, netizens have not ...... again The rebound is probably all due to him. That's how I see it. ”

The three big leaders all fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Liu's words ......," the mayor suddenly laughed. "It seems to make some sense. So, wizards are still helping the government?"

The secretary also nodded and said, "Take care of the overall situation." That's what it means. I didn't expect this layer either. ”

"Young man, Xiao Liu has a future. The Minister of Propaganda also laughed and said again. "I saw him this morning. I want him to write a positive song for Koto. ”

"Oh?" he said. ”

He said it very politely, ready to think about it, but did not refuse or agree. ”

The secretary glanced at the Propaganda Minister with a strange expression, and fell into deep thought again. Not long after, the mayor took out his mobile phone and called the leaders of the urban management department and asked him to come over.

……

Early Tuesday morning, a chengguan truck drove up to Riverside Bar Street and stopped in front of the nameless tavern. Several engineers jumped out of the car and laboriously moved a pile of steel frames out of the car.

Lao Liu was woken up by the sound of ding, glanced out the window, and hurriedly ran downstairs. He stood in the doorway, staring blankly at their busyness. After a while, the owners and clerks of the nearby bars also came over one by one to watch the excitement.

The transparent protective film on the billboard was scratched and replaced with brand new. After a while, the huge billboard was erected again, right in the same place, to welcome the early morning sun.

Lao Liu saw that they were done with their work, so he rushed over and asked: "What are you doing? If you want to dismantle it, you can install it if you want? I don't want this brand!

The city manager led by him gently pressed Lao Liu's arm and said, "Big brother, we just have to work." ”

"Didn't you say it was a violation, why did you put it on again?"

The chengguan bowed and said pitifully, "It's really none of our business." Big brother, you ...... If you have any opinions, you can communicate with our leaders. ”

"Lao Liu, what the hell is going on?" Fat Zheng trotted over and grabbed his arm.

“……”

On the side were all acquaintances from the bar street, Lao Liu looked around, and saw the same expression on people's faces, shocked, shocked, shocked, and inexplicable.

The chengguan took out 1,500 yuan from his pocket, re-ordered it, handed it to Lao Liu, and said, "Do you still have the receipt I gave you yesterday?"

"Nope!"

"Uh...... If you don't, you don't have it, you have the money. ”

"Disassembly and assembly fees, transportation fees, you tossed for a long time, why don't you collect them?" Lao Liu asked with a sneer.

“……”

The truck drove away, and the land in front of the Nameless Tavern returned to its original state. Lao Liu was stunned for a long time, but he still didn't understand what was going on. Outside the tavern, the acquaintances in the bar street were also extremely surprised, and they secretly calculated one by one, Lao Liu really had great powers.

Lao Liu took out two bills, handed them to Zheng Fatzi, and said, "Give you 200." ”
