Chapter 13: A Song in Winter
The Great Cold, the last of the 24 solar terms, is also the coldest period of the year in most parts of the land of China, with strong winds, low temperatures, and cold reversal.
In this season, Xinhai City has become even colder, and the steel and concrete have revealed a cold atmosphere.
Jinling East Road, the absolute "golden location" of Xinhai, one of the top ten commercial centers in the whole city, is lined with big shops and famous shops on both sides of the street, and all kinds of commercial buildings and excellent buildings converge and gather.
The Penglai six-person group, who had just finished eating hot pot, wrapped in thick down jackets or windbreakers, walked side by side on this most prosperous street, and in the noisy crowd, Huang Li's tactful and crisp voice could occasionally be heard: "Kong Ming has confirmed that he will participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, which will also be his first time on the TV medium, and the media and netizens have speculated that this will be a prelude and harbinger of his official entry into the entertainment industry." β
"Accumulation is a matter of course!" Jiang Hanxue, who has always admired Kong Ming, continued: "Talented and good-looking, so proficient in the management of personal image, and well versed in hype, these qualities and talents all show that he was born in the entertainment industry. β
Ning Qingzhou agreed: "Kong Ming is definitely an expert in gossip making, so to speak, other Internet promoters and public relations can only fry one or a few popular gossip, but Kong Ming is the kind of player who can fry a gossip formation, I am very optimistic about him." β
Huang Li hurriedly asked: "Then Qingzhou, which company do you think he will choose, Han Dynasty, Jian'an or Eastern Wu?" I guess it's Soochow, because it is said that his brother seems to be a middle-level manager of Soochow. β
Ning Qingzhou shook his head and said: "I don't think he will choose these two, because the talents of these two companies have become financial, and he is now joining as a newcomer, whether it is Cheng DΓΉ who is valued or the resources he can get, it will be greatly reduced, so neither of these two is the best choice." β
"Master Zhou, which one do you think he will choose?"
"Brother Taoyuan."
"Brother Taoyuan?! How can it be? The Taoyuan brothers couldn't afford to sign Kong Ming at all. Huang Li just shook his head in disbelief, and even Cao Yuqin, Jiang Jianzhong and Chen Qianfan all said "This is impossible."
"I kind of agree with Qingzhou's statement this time," Jiang Hanxue thought for a while, and then continued: "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, which is a bit similar to my current situation." β
Ning Qingzhou clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what this sentence is." β
The topic then returned to Jiang Hanxue, Cao Yuqin said: "By the way, Xue'er, is Shujian still poaching your author at a high price?" β
"It won't be completely stopped until next week, and his practice of injuring 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself can't last long. On the one hand, their own authors may have an opinion that this is the wrong practice of 'good steel on the back of a knife', and on the other hand, the important authors who have won the crown are well maintained, and even if they accept a certain price that is staggering to them, they usually do not go directly to the deity, but open another trumpet to make a fortune. β
"That's fine."
Jiang Hanxue smiled, as if she had not finished speaking, Ning Qingzhou said: "But in this way, Hanxue, your current situation in the championship will also be a little embarrassing, I estimate that the editors and editors-in-chief who are not convinced by you will take advantage of the topic to play, and maybe they will hack you with the scum along the way to the drunken white pool." β
Jiang Hanxue smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "You didn't see that when you had a meeting today, the eyes of those editors who won the title almost all turned into two question marks. β
Cao Yuqin said: "This is a problem that every promoted person has to face, what you have to do now is to use your own strength to silence them all!" β
"Hmm." Jiang Hanxue replied with some reservations, it seemed that the pressure in her heart was indeed a little heavy.
As he spoke, a few people came to a small square, and saw a wandering singer holding a guitar playing and singing to himself, and there were one or twenty spectators standing scattered around, the long-haired singer finished singing a song and was ready to rest for a while, Ning Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at Jiang Hanxue, remembering the dirty remarks on the forum such as "being the unspoken rules of the jade unicorn", "and Shujian is now a group of editors-in-chief green pothos competing for favor and defeating", his heart moved, and he said to everyone: "I want to sing a song, you will remember to scream and applaud me later." β
Cao Yuqin immediately supported when she heard this: "Okay, okay, Zhouzhou, you go and sing, I'll pretend to be your fan." Several other people were also interested, waiting to see a good show, Huang Li and Jiang Hanxue took out their mobile phones and prepared to record the video.
Ning Qingzhou walked up to the long-haired singer and discussed with him, the singer was also a person who likes music when he saw it, of course he was willing to help, and handed over the guitar and microphone to Ning Qingzhou.
Ning Qingzhou walked to the microphone, thanked the long-haired buddy first, and then reported to himself: "Next, this song is given to a friend present, I hope she is in a happy mood, stronger, and out of the haze as soon as possible." β
After saying a few words, Ning Qingzhou began to pluck the strings, played the prelude, and then sang:
All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories
After several years of hard work, tonight we are back in the wind and rain
I can't go with the flow, for the sake of my loved ones
No matter how hard it is, you have to be strong, just for those who look forward to it
β¦β¦
Ning Qingzhou sang Teacher Liu Huan's song "Start Again", looking at Jiang Hanxue in the crowd, full of encouragement, and Jiang Hanxue and a few other friends only listened to the first sentence, and immediately guessed what Ning Qingzhou meant, and when they heard the words "beloved relatives" and "looking forward to the eyes" in the back, everyone's hearts were filled with a trace of warmth.
If the heart is there, the dream is between heaven and earth, and true love depends on success or failure, and the heroism of life is just starting from the beginning
After Ning Qingzhou sang these choruses smoothly and high-pitched, some people at the scene immediately applauded, and the long-haired wandering singer was also full of surprise and applauded vigorously, as for Ning Qingzhou's friends, they were a little in a daze at this time, they thought that Ning Qingzhou was just in the mood, singing a song at will, helping to cheer up, and being funny, but I didn't expect him to sing so seriously, so devoted, so heroic, so emotional, so simple, so hot-blooded, so touching, so good!
Especially Jiang Hanxue, she stood in the crowd of more and more, looking at Ning Qingzhou's obscure face and unpredictable smile, listening to the very good, inspirational and heartwarming song he sang for herself, and the string in her heart fluttered again.
When Ning Qingzhou finished singing for the first time, the audience attracted by the singing has increased to sixty or seventy, and two girls took the initiative to step forward and put fifty yuan each in their guitar bags, and when the chorus was sung for the second time, there were almost hundreds of people gathered at the scene, and there were more and more audiences who stepped forward to put money, five yuan, ten yuan, and twenty yuan, and then, when Ning Qingzhou began to sing "If the heart is in a dream" five times in a row, there were already audiences singing along.
At this time, Cao Yuqin and the others, without pretending, were really cheering for their friend.
They had never seen this side of Ning Qingzhou, but they were extremely happy and proud to appreciate this side of Ning Qingzhou, as if he had really become a shining star.
After Ning Qingzhou finished singing, he bowed to everyone, and he was greeted by a thunderous applause. Then Ning Qingzhou thanked the long-haired singer again and said, "The money in the guitar bag is used as the rental fee for the instrument, thank you buddy!" β
The long-haired singer was also very excited when he met the master, stretched out his hand to high-five Ning Qingzhou, then shook each other, and finally said: "Dude, cow!" β
Ning Qingzhou exited amid applause, cheers, and whistles, and then left the small square with his friends.

(I went home this weekend, and I wrote the previous chapter on my phone on the train and uploaded it on my phone, and I wrote a chapter for more than seven hours.)
As for this chapter, staying up late until now to finish writing and uploading it is not only to express apologies, but also to express attitude. I like to write books, I don't like to complain, I believe that everything is in the text.
Finally, thank you for your concern, thank you for your support, thank you for voting, thank you for rewarding, and in the new week, I hope to be on the home list! οΌ
