Chapter 45: The Shop on the Corner, Long Time No See (Part II)

Ning Qingzhou and Cao Yuqin naturally didn't take Cao Xian's words about applying for a resident singer seriously, even if she really had a complete falling out with the family as rumored, even if she often haunted the underground passages and public squares, Ning Qingzhou and Cao Yuqin still didn't think that the small temple of "long time no see" could accommodate Cao Xian's big Buddha.

The phoenix with broken wings is still a phoenix after all, and it has been proved that she can still call and go to a super popular idol like Cao Zijian, and she can still pull the keyboardist of a legendary band like Wang Zhongxuan over to play the band with herself, the kind of network resources, personal aura and influence that belong to the eldest lady of an entertainment empire make Cao Yuqin have no confidence to be her boss.

"I just observed, except for Cao Xian and Wang Zhongxuan, several other people in the band are also very young." Cao Yuqin looked at Ning Qingzhou with a slightly complicated look, and really didn't understand how he got to know these people under everyone's noses.

"Rich or rich." Ning Qingzhou also gave his own judgment.

Jiang Jianzhong asked, "Qingzhou, how did you know them?" ”

Ning Qingzhou shook his head and said: "I don't know much, just what Han Xue said last time, because the song "Angel's Wings" got to know Cao Xian, as for the other people, at most, they are familiar with each other. ”

"I understand," Cao Yuqin suddenly came to her senses, stretched out her hand to point at Ning Qingzhou, and said, "They are not here to apply for a resident singer, they are here to inspect you." ”

Ning Qingzhou smiled and said, "Sister Qin, you can also see it." ”

Cao Yuqin said: "After putting on such a big show and calling Cao Zijian over, how could it be that he came specifically to celebrate Jianzhong's birthday, and it is even more impossible to apply for a resident singer." The only explanation is that they want to test your strength again, and if your performance can satisfy them, they will pull you into their band. ”

Ning Qingzhou nodded, completely agreeing with Cao Yuqin's guess, because when Ye Xuhuan proposed to him to exchange ideas just now, Cao Xian not only did not stop him, but also took the initiative to sing the song "Black Cat with White Hair" to add fuel to the fire.

Cao Yuqin thought for a while and said, "Zhouzhou, don't sing it later, leave it until the store opens." ”

Ning Qingzhou knew that Cao Yuqin was worried that he would be crushed too ugly by Cao Xian's band and Cao Zijian, so he put forward this tactful excuse, his heart warmed, and he smiled: "Sister Qin, you don't have to worry, they are all professional singers, I can't sing them, it's normal for me to sing them, and today is a rare opportunity, so let them do publicity for our store for free." ”

Although Cao Yuqin does not pay attention to the entertainment industry like Huang Li, she knows very well in her heart that once the news of Cao Zijian and Cao Xian singing in "Long Time No See" is spread, it will definitely make a big news in the entertainment industry, and that kind of publicity is still very impressive.

To be more specific, Cao Zijian's appearance fee alone is enough to open at least ten cafes.

Cao Yuqin asked confirmatively, "Zhouzhou, are you sure it's okay?" ”

"Don't worry." Ning Qingzhou has a barefoot posture that is not afraid of wearing shoes.

By this time, the Stray Cats had already moved their instruments out of the car, set them up in the music section of the store, and started tuning.

Cao Zijian was still surrounded by everyone to sign an autograph and take a group photo, Ning Qingzhou said to Jiang Jianzhong: "Brother Zhong, you go to the back and help me bring the guitar, and I will go to relieve Cao Zijian." ”

"Okay." Jiang Jianzhong answered and went to get the guitar, Ning Qingzhou and Cao Yuqin shook their heads and smiled, then walked over to Cao Zijian's side and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, do you still want to watch Cao Zijian's performance?" ”

No one was incentive, but Cao Zijian was inspired and hurriedly said, "I'm going to prepare for today's performance, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he was about to squeeze outside, Ning Qingzhou reminded Chen Qianfan and Huang Li: "Qianfan, Huang Li, control the field." ”

When Chen and Huang heard this, they reacted suddenly, replied with a "okay", and then persuaded everyone to help Cao Zijian open the way, Cao Yuqin also came over at this time, and said in the tone of the host: "Everyone continues to be like this, not only will we not see Cao Zijian's performance, but our party will not be able to continue." ”

Jiang Hanxue, who was chatting with her colleagues, also came over and said, "Everyone hurry up and find a seat to sit down, the performance is about to start, it's a rare opportunity to listen to Cao Zijian's singing so closely." ”

Most of the guests who came to the scene today are office workers who have been in the society for many years, financially independent, mature in three views, and have long passed the age of crazy star chasing, but Cao Zijian's appearance today is too unexpected, which brought them a kind of unexpected joy, originally thought that they were going to participate in a bland birthday party, but they met the hottest superstar in person, and this gap instantly ignited their excitement, so the scene was a little out of control. This is also another manifestation of the star effect.

After Ning Qingzhou, Cao Yuqin and a few of them strongly intervened to control the venue, the guests quickly realized that their behavior was inappropriate, after all, they came to participate in the birthday party today, not to listen to the concert, everyone was a little embarrassed to say sorry, and then quickly obeyed the host's arrangement, and each chose a seat to sit.

A female colleague of Cao Yuqin walked over awkwardly, hugged Cao Yuqin, and said, "My dear, don't blame me, the girl's heart suddenly flooded, and I turned around and invited you to dinner." ”

Huang Li, Chen Qianfan, and the friends they invited over also expressed similar meanings, and Cao Yuqin naturally didn't blame them, and smiled right, this matter finally came to an end.

When Jiang Jianzhong came out with his guitar, the guests were already sitting quietly in their seats, but most of them were still holding their mobile phones to take pictures or record videos, as Jiang Hanxue said, this kind of opportunity is too rare, and the precipitated conversation can be used for them to show off with other friends for one to three years.

Cao Zijian hugged the bass, stood in the middle of the stray cat band, and accompanied his sister Cao Xian, Cao Xian said to the wheat newspaper: "Stray cats." Then he lowered his head to pluck the guitar, and after a short prelude to the piano mixed guitar, Cao Xian's unique ethereal voice sounded with a hint of laziness:

I'm a stray black cat

A black cat with white fur

……

Before watching Cao Zijian's performance, when they heard such a song with good lyrics and temperament, everyone had a feeling of icing on the cake, and they would not have any sense of rejection, and when Cao Xian finished singing, some people were already silent in her singing, and subconsciously shouted: "Angel wings!" When others heard it, they echoed it, and it was also a rare experience to be able to listen to the song that was popular all over the Internet.

After Cao Xian finished singing "Stray Cat", his feelings had not yet fully recovered, and when he heard everyone take the initiative to order the song, he said: "To sing this song, you must first ask the original singer of this song to come up." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ning Qingzhou.

Everyone turned their heads to look over and saw a big boy with a yellow wooden guitar in one hand and a beautiful girl in the other.

"He's the original singer?"

"The 'little boy passing by'?"

"He's Jiang Hanxue's boyfriend?"

The guests in the venue were talking for a while, Ning Qingzhou turned his head and nodded to Jiang Hanxue, and then walked over with his guitar.

Cao Xian said: "Together? ”

"Okay." Ning Qingzhou didn't refuse, to be honest, when he saw Cao Xian singing just now, the kind of cold light that was clearly deliberately restrained, but could not be concealed, was really infected, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

"Angel wings." Cao Xian still just reported the name of the song, and then glanced at Wang Zhongxuan, and the piano sound in the keyboard sounded beat by beat, Ms. Cao Xian gave priority and took the lead in singing: "Where are the fallen leaves going with the wind, leaving only a beautiful ...... in the sky"

When Cao Xian's singing sounded again, a young man wearing a black coat and his head completely wrapped in a hat appeared on Qinxi Street, and the young man in black put his hands in his pockets and wandered aimlessly through the street, until he passed by the café called "Long Time No See", and when he heard the singing from inside, the young man suddenly stopped and stopped, turned his head slightly, and stood outside the store and listened carefully.

At the same time, an orange taxi stopped at Tinglin Square, and a girl in an off-white thin trench coat got out of the car, looked left and right a few times, and also walked towards Qinxi Street.
