Episode 5 Marriage Cult (5)
"Look at what you said, talented people have a little temper, let alone Miss Shan. You are the first daughter of our Yanzhou, you were angry at the degeneration of art that day, and couldn't help but push away the crowd and rush out to turn the tide, that kind of courage and pride really made us admire! You don't seek fame and fortune, you finish telling the story and do good things and go away, you don't leave your name or write a diary, and you don't slander the People's Liberation Army, you are a realm higher than Lei Feng, so humble, so low-key, it's really ......"
Shan Zhiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his nervousness was reduced a lot: "Mr. Qin really used the right person to let you be the manager." Are you hurting or are you praising me? ”
"Look! When you laughed, you sank the whale and fell the geese......"
"Okay, okay, what the hell is the activity? I'm a person who likes to be different from others, and if it's interesting, I can't stop you if I have to go! ”
"Is this...... I'm afraid you'll be angry when you say it, but looking at your extraordinary personality that is not bound by the world, you will definitely not stick to these ......," the manager said with splatters, "Recently, the idea of our Zhiwei Night Banquet was favored by one of Mr. Qin's business partners in the south. You can rest assured that this business partner is pure and does not go off the beaten track (i.e., illegal business). This lord is really a master, almost seventy years old, his wife has passed away for three years, he can't bear the loneliness and wants to get married, and asks for a young and beautiful ......"
"Introduce your mother to him." Shan Zhiyu was just about to leave, and the manager waved his hand busily: "Miss Shan, don't worry!" I'm not done yet! This old man Pang is a big entrepreneur and a big philanthropist, although your father can be called the No. 1 Tianzi in Yanzhou, but the assets of this old man Pang are basically equal to two square meters of your father......"
"My father squared, your father root number 2!"
"Don't be angry, that's what I mean, although Mr. Pang is old, he is strong, holding a ten-stone bow in his hand, sparing no arrows for three meals, and fighting at night...... Haha, just kidding, he's much stronger than the average old man anyway, and even ordinary lads aren't his opponents. As for him, although he wants to find a young and beautiful one, there is an additional condition: the old man's biggest hobby in life is to listen to scary stories, the more terrifying the better, and listen to them with relish. Later, he heard about the idea of our Zhiwei Night Banquet, and applauded again and again, saying that it was better for us to join forces and engage in a Zhiwei marriage! The condition for marriage is to hold a horror story contest in the whole province, and if you tell the best and look reasonable, you will get married immediately, and you will have a lot of money...... Of course, Miss Shan, you are not short of money, even if it is more, it doesn't matter. It's just that there are many capable people, and when the time comes, there will be masters of horror stories from all walks of life, will you be able to sit back and watch this opportunity? ”
Shan Zhiyu felt that this competition was really interesting, and she also wanted to try it, anyway, there was no shame in losing, even if she really won the first place, and she was unwilling to marry the old man, the old man would not be able to force herself.
Suddenly, she thought of the sentence: "You will always be ......!" "It's like I've been drenched in ice water.
The manager shuddered when he saw her, thinking that he was worried that the fake show was really done, so he said, "Don't worry! What woman hasn't seen before, old man? It's all just a formality. As for our Qianlong Group, just to build hype and increase popularity, this competition will strictly keep the identities of the contestants secret, and they are all called by code names. Although you can compete with peace of mind, we told Mr. Pang that there is a contestant specially placed by our company, in order to promote the atmosphere and improve the quality of the competition, even if you really win the first place, you should not choose her. Okay, you just went to prove your strength, you Miss Shan haven't eaten anything or played, isn't life too boring, it's easy to have a new stimulus, are you really willing to miss it? ”
"Okay, okay, I really can't stand your rotten mouth, I'll think about it......" Shan Zhiyu was really moved, "but...... I can't let my dad know about this, or he's going to go crazy......"
A big guy in the passenger seat suddenly said, "Of course." However, in exchange, Miss Shan, you have to remind Mr. Shan in the future that Xing Kun has already entered, and if you want to find someone to jointly develop real estate, you can contact our Qianlong Company, Xing Kun can give Mr. Shan, our eldest brother can also give it, and what Xing Kun can't give, our eldest brother can still give it. Cheng Sihai is finished, and the mineral deposits in Shancheng County are waiting for us to jointly develop...... We know that Mr. Shan is very assertive, and he doesn't listen to anyone's words, only Miss Shan, the pearl in your hand, will always listen to what you say. Let's benefit each other and make progress together, isn't it? ”
Shan Zhiyu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and she saw that although the big man's face was as kind as possible, he couldn't hide the violent aura that seeped into the bone marrow, and he must be a thug under Qin Boqian.
"I see, Qin Boqian has seen so far, it's really a terrible old fox." Shan Zhiyu said, "Mr. Qin is far-sighted, and the junior can't accept it." Thank you Mr. Qin for that. When does the tournament start? ”
"Next Monday, the venue of the preliminaries is still the Zhiwei Night Banquet, and when the semi-finals are held, you will have to go to the provincial capital Bindu, where Mr. Pang has a private meeting place, he will hold a candlelight dinner, you and the other players will take turns to tell stories at the dinner, good luck, goodbye!"
Shan Zhiyu's eyes gradually became blurred, and he said in his heart: "Xiang Qihang...... I'm not sure if you actually lifted the curse for me...... I'm going to try again...... Then, I will start looking for my true love! ”
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Don't go yet!" I wonder why this Mr. Pang likes horror stories? Does he still have this hobby at his age? Aren't you afraid of having a heart attack? ”
The manager smiled and said, "What kind of heart disease, didn't I tell you?" He's so strong. ”
"He was a soldier when he was younger? Or is it a martial arts background? ”
The manager said meaningfully: "His strength and hobbies are related to his career when he was younger. He's a corpse watcher...... If you have to name a scientific name, it's the Night Watch! ”
Shan Zhiyu suddenly felt a chill, and the car had already driven away.
Due to the fact that there are many acquaintances in Yanzhou, Zhiwei Night Banquet Hall promises to wait until the semi-finals in the provincial capital to invite TV stations, newspapers and Internet media to participate, but even so, the taxi drivers spread the word of ten, ten and hundred, and there are more and more diners who come to see the "Night Banquet Girl Talking Ghosts", and the chefs of the Night Banquet Hall are almost too busy, so they can only rent a few surrounding places as kitchens, which can barely be supplied. The manager was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the people who came to listen to the story were even more fond of it.
There are many more contestants than Shan Zhiyu imagined, and of course, since there is always more beauty and ugliness in human beings, contestants cannot avoid following this rule. Some of the poor-looking girls were asked out by the foul-mouthed manager before they could tell the story, on the grounds that "Mr. Pang likes scary stories, but he doesn't like scary faces".
There are a lot of good-looking people, there are all kinds of professions, some are art school students, and some are models who walk the catwalk but have not been popular, but they almost have one common characteristic: they are all poor. They have long since lost the sincere pursuit of the purest love in their minds, but regard wealth as the only criterion for happiness, so they don't care who they want to marry, it is better to be an old man, even if they are healthy, they are seventy years old, and they will have twenty years to live at most, and at that time they are only forty years old, and they can find a man again. Perhaps because of the lack of sincerity, most of their stories are not only not scary, but also make the audience laugh many times, even if the story is not clumsy, as long as it is not original, it will be kicked out - there are special searchers on the scene, and when they hear a new story, they will hit the keyword on the search engine for investigation, and whoever goes online to patchwork or directly steal the fruits of other people's labor will not only be disqualified, but also be beaten up by the manager who hurts his mouth, and make a fool of himself in public.
However, of course, things will not go so smoothly, and if this is the case, Shan Zhiyu will have no interest in continuing. There are a few people who speak eloquently and can create tension, but most of them rely on physical performances rather than the excitement of the story itself. The decision to decide whether to advance or not is not in the hands of the manager this time, let alone the diners. There was a high-definition lens in the hall that was transmitted directly to Mr. Pang, and he made the decision.
Shan Zhiyu patiently watched the performances of these clowns, sighed again, and went on the stage. Because of the extraordinary popularity accumulated in recent weeks, as soon as she appeared, many diners rushed up to give flowers, making it like a concert, and the applause lasted for more than a minute without abating at all, until Shan Zhiyu opened his mouth and the audience fell silent.
