Singapore, March 1975.

Cai Anqian sat in the car, looking at the outline of the buildings of Paya Lebar Airport in the distance and the congested streets in front of her, and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, Zijun's plane is about to arrive"

Li Weiling, the cousin sitting next to her, said with a smile: "It's all so old, and it's like a child." ”

"What, this is Zijun's first time coming to Singapore for a concert, and I will be embarrassed if I am late. It's not that I don't know how congested the road outside the airport is, so I won't let you leave early. Cai Anqian complained.

As soon as her words fell, the car stopped again, and the driver couldn't help but honk a few times, but the car in front of him was motionless.

At this time, Singapore's Changi International Airport had not yet been established, and Paya Lebar Airport had only one runway and a small terminal, which was completely inconsistent with its status as an international transit airport, and was already overwhelmed. In addition, Wang Zijun is coming to Singapore today, and many fans who heard the news came to pick up the airport, which immediately blocked the road outside the airport. If it weren't for the Singapore Traffic Police Department to send a large number of people to guide it, I'm afraid this road would not even be able to move.

"I knew I would have stayed on duty in the hospital, and I shouldn't have come with you to pick up the airport." Li Weiling looked outside and said, "The government is already choosing a site for the new airport, and it will be better in two years." ”

The car was moving at a turtle speed, and Cai Anqian waited anxiously, looking at the plane landing at the high altitude in front of her from time to time, expecting that Wang Zijun's flight would be delayed.

After waiting for several minutes, the car only advanced two or three hundred meters, and Cai Anqian walked out of the car angrily: "Really, it's not blocked in the morning, it's not blocked in the evening, but at this time, I can go faster than taking the car."

Cai Anqian got out of the car, followed by the bodyguard in the car, and immediately ran out and followed her.

Li Weiling sighed, her cousin has always been a headache, a few years ago, OCD played suicide, and now although the illness has been cured, her personality is still a little eccentric, impatient and loves to lose her temper.

Li Weiling had to get out of the car and walk with Cai Anqian, one of the two is the daughter of Singapore's father of the nation, and the other is the niece of the father of the country, and the bodyguards behind are vigilant and monitor everywhere, but they don't dare to follow too closely, because that will make Miss Cai >Accurate.

After walking for about half an hour, Cai Anqian and the two finally entered the airport, where many fans of Wang Zijun were already waiting with slogans.

"Hasn't Zijun arrived yet?". Cai Anqian grabbed one casually and asked.

The man shook his head and said, "No, if you say it's two o'clock, maybe the plane is late." ”

The passengers who came out of the airport were taken aback when they saw the black fans outside, and they asked who was coming.

"Who is Wang Zijun?" When a middle-aged man returning to Singapore from the United Kingdom walked past the fan base, he looked at the sign holding high "Wang Zijun, I love you" and asked, which immediately attracted countless contemptuous eyes.

"It's coming," someone shouted ahead.

Cai Anqian and her cousin kept squeezing forward with the help of bodyguards, and Li Weiling complained: "Aqian, he has to come to visit his house at night anyway, why do you come here to squeeze it"

"Cousin, you don't understand, it's the only way to be sincere." Cai Anqian said.

"I really don't understand you, celebrities are also people, where did chasing stars come from so crazy." Li Weiling was pushed forward by the people behind her, and said, "A few years ago, the president's wife > invited Teresa Teng to come, so it wasn't so exaggerated." ”

The fans in front of "Zijun Zijun ......" suddenly became commotion, but it was Wang Zijun and the accompanying staff who came out of it.

Wang Zijun's attention was attracted by these shouts, and his somewhat tired face was immediately automatically replaced with a smile. The intensity of work these days is too much, all kinds of affairs are together, and I can only sleep four or five hours a day. The company's spin-off and reorganization is already proceeding smoothly, and Liu Jiachang and Chen Shui-bian on the brokerage company's side are also in place, so we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking out of the passage, Wang Zijun's eyes swept and found that there were at least hundreds of fans in front of him, most of them shouting Hokkien, and only a few people were speaking Chinese.

At this time, about sixty or seventy percent of the people in Singapore came from the Fujian generation and spoke Hokkien, and it was not until the 80s that Mandarin was introduced. At this time, Singapore was very strange, the official Chinese language was Malay, the official documents and teaching were English, and most people spoke Hokkien when communicating.

Singapore's script is more eccentric, using Singaporean characters, a simplified version of Chinese characters that distinguish it from the mainland. However, it is estimated that this simplification is not very reasonable, and Singaporean Chinese characters have only been used for ten years, and after the reform and opening up of the mainland, the relationship between Singapore and the mainland has thawed, and the mainland has directly received a full set of simplified Chinese characters. ,

If there is any country with the closest relationship with Taiwan at this time, it is Singapore. Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, had a close personal relationship with Chiang Ching-kuo, and a few years later even Singapore's army was sent to Taiwan for training and stationing. As a result, Singapore has become the best overseas market for Taiwanese artists, because not only do people like Chinese music and movies, but the Singapore government also gives the green light to this.

In the face of the fan base, Wang Zijun could only smile and wave, occasionally shaking hands and walking quickly, and some fans who wanted to rush out were stopped by the airport staff. Some reporters with long guns and short guns tried to come over for interviews, but they were also blocked by the accompanying staff.

"Mr. Wang, hello, the car outside is ready, do you want to go to the hotel or go to the National Center for the Performing Arts to see the concert site first?" Lee Jing Hung, the head of Haishan Records in Singapore, came up and said.

Wang Zijun said: "Go directly to the theater." ”

"Okay, I'll lead the way in front, and you guys will follow me." Li Jingxiong said.

The vehicle drove out of the airport slowly, and after a while it became faster, looking at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, Wang Zijun sighed. Ten years ago, unemployment was relatively backward, and now it has become an important economic and trade center in Asia.

"Boss, there's a car behind us all the time." Li Jinghao said suddenly.

Wang Zijun looked back and vaguely recognized Cai Anqian in the car through the glass, he has a deep memory of this girl's suicide.

Cai Anqian, who was in the car behind, was a little sullen, pouting and saying, "It's all your fault, you can't squeeze in front when you come so late." ”

Li Weiling rolled her eyes.

Soon arrived at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Singapore, Wang Zijun asked the life assistant arranged by the record company to take the luggage to the hotel, and he went in with the others.

There were still two days left for the concert to go, and the stage in the theater had already been set up, Li Jingxiong found a man who was conducting on the spot, and introduced: "This is Mr. Qiu Zekun Qiu." ”

"Hello, Mr. Qiu." Wang Zijun shook hands with him and said.

Qiu Zekun said: "A few lights have been installed here, the stage effect will be very good, and the sound system is also the best in Asia now." Mr. Wang, do you have any special requirements? ”

Wang Zijun asked: "The stage here can't be lifted and lowered, right?" Fewer words"

"I can't." Qiu Zekun said, "And this place can't be changed at will." ”

"Then there is no requirement." Wang Zijun said, "The dancers and the band will come over tomorrow, and the layout of the scene will be handed over to Mr. Li, and I hope it will be completed as soon as possible." ”

"No problem." Qiu Zekun said, and then explained the layout of various details to Wang Zijun. Because Wang Zijun is not only a singer, but also the chief director of this tour, except for some trivial matters handed over to the assistant director, the general process is operated by him, and even the choreographer is involved.

"Boss, there are two girls out there who want to see you, saying they are good friends of yours." Lee Kyung-ho came over and said.

Wang Zijun asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Anqian Cai and Li Weiling." Li Jinghao said.

"It's them." Wang Zijun walked out with a smile.

Cai Anqian waved at Wang Zijun from afar and shouted, "Zijun, here"

Wang Zijun nodded at them: "Miss Cai>, Miss Li >, two good"

Cai Anqian said: "My dad said that he invited you to his house tonight, why don't we go over now?" Fewer words"

"Okay." Wang Zijun was afraid that if he didn't agree, this eldest lady would > go crazy again.

"What kind of car should you sit in?" said Cai Anqian happily.

Wang Zijun nodded to Li Jinghao, and then followed Cai Anqian into the car, and was pulled by her to sit next to him.

After the car started, Li Weiling said: "Mr. Wang is very busy with work, Aqian, don't keep pestering others." ”

"No," Cai Anqian stuck out her tongue at her cousin, "You think everyone is like you, staying in the hospital every day, and even your fiancé can't see you." ”

Wang Zijun asked, "Miss Cai>, Ling Zun is not at home now, right?" Fewer words"

Cai Anqian said: "Who knows, anyway, I don't know what he's busy with all day long." ”

Busy with what? I'm busy making money.

Singapore is known as state capitalism, and the economic lifeblood of the country is controlled by a few large families. Temasek Holdings, which was established last year, for example, has gradually taken control of almost all of Singapore's most important and largest companies, including Singapore Telecom, Singapore Airlines, DBS Bank, Singapore Metr, Singapore Port, Neptune Shipping, Singapore Power, Keppel Group and Raffles Hotels, which have never opened financial statements for decades. By the 21st century, this company controlled 47% of Singapore's stock market. ,

The scene where Wang Zijun was > and affectionately pulled into the car by Miss Cai Anqian just now was also photographed by some reporters, but there is no need to worry about these media talking nonsense, because Singapore is a country that has no press freedom at all. Occasionally, people who expressed their opposition to the government through the media were charged with defamation and put in their shifts.

To tell the truth, Wang Zijun really wanted to meet Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, and wanted to see the demeanor of this great man with mixed reviews, because he really built Singapore so beautifully in the future.

"Zijun, it's here" Cai Anqian enthusiastically helped Wang Zijun open the car door.

Li Weiling rolled down the window, stuck out her head and said, "Ah Qian, I won't go in, let the driver take me directly to the hospital." ”

"Goodbye, sister" Cai Anqian wished that her cousin's light bulb would leave early.
