At half past three in the afternoon, the café in the CBD of Beijing.

"Welcome!"

Cheng Xiao looked around curiously, walked past a nine-square lattice window with curtains, looked up at the neon sign above his head to confirm that he had made a mistake, and reached out to push open the antique crimson solid wood door.

Since it was a weekday, there weren't many customers in the store, and the apron-clad staff at the bar was nodding at her with a smile that couldn't be faulted.

Cheng Xiao nodded slightly as a return gift.

The atmosphere here is really nice.

The small private room that catches your eye displays some elegant tableware, a cultural begonia flower glass screen, a series of stylish paintings and potted plants are regularly placed for decoration according to the designer's ideas, and a variety of food books and Chinese and foreign classics are also placed on the shelves for guests to choose from.

The mixed aroma of mellow coffee and cake dessert lingered, allowing Cheng Xiao, who had spent most of the day on the golf course, to breathe a long sigh of relief.

I have to say that Yuan Bao is worthy of being a native of the capital, and he really has much more insight than me, a homely girl, when it comes to choosing a café to rest.

With this in mind, she went to a private private room and sat down happily, but as soon as she put down her bag, she heard the sound of welcome again.

"Thank you!"

Lin Qingyuan, who came later, also pushed the door and walked into the café, he looked around for a while, and saw Cheng Xiao who was sitting in the small private room smiling and waving to him constantly, so he walked over and pulled out a chair and sat opposite her: "Where is Xuanyi?" Didn't she come with you? ”

"I told her to go back first." Cheng Xiao said it very naturally, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "I forgot my friends when I saw it. You're really her best friend. ”

"This has nothing to do with my best friend, such a rare time together, why let her come over as a light bulb? I think Xuanyi can understand me. Cheng Xiao nodded to himself, then smiled, and said another reason faintly proudly: "Besides, this is a two-person table, and there is no place for her to sit here." ”

"You don't think that there are only two-person tables in the café where you can sit" Lin Qingyuan took off his sunglasses and mask, and moved his neck, "Have you finished ordering coffee?" ”

"Not yet, I'm going to wait for you to come over and have some together." Cheng Xiao shook his head, and then asked worriedly, "When you came here, you weren't caught by others secretly taking pictures." ”

"It was indeed filmed, but it wasn't me, they were shooting the car." Lin Qingyuan picked up the menu on the table.

Although the McLaren 720S is not a top-level supercar in the capital where the rich second generation is everywhere, it still attracts the attention of many passers-by because of the overly flamboyant and handsome appearance of Lin Qingyuan's modified version of the Black Warrior.

Even the mysterious driver with Lin Qingyuan, who was wearing a mask and sunglasses and couldn't see his face clearly, also received a lot of attention, and they all thought that Lin Qingyuan was a rich son, a young master of the Kuo family, who drove a sports car out to pick up girls in the streets.

Strictly speaking, he is really a small rich second generation.

It's just that compared with the identity title of the rich second generation, the rich generation who is young and rich may be more suitable for his current status quo of earning one billion a year, and he earns more than his father.

"I didn't expect that our much-anticipated big stars would have a day when they would be overlooked!" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"I'm not a Chinese currency, so why do they all have to know me? And I wish they had paid less attention to me. Lin Qingyuan also smiled.

"Although it sounds a bit hypocritical, people want others to pay more attention to themselves before they become famous, and only when they become popular can they have the ability to do other things and the right to choose, but when they become famous, they want others to leave more personal space for themselves."

"People are like that." Cheng Xiao nodded, "Fortunately, there aren't many people who know me, so as long as I wear a mask, I can still go out shopping normally." ”

The clerk brought over the coffee and dessert cake that the two had just ordered, Lin Qingyuan thanked her, and then said, "Let's stop business for the time being." ”

"Okay." The clerk nodded respectfully, then walked over and replaced the "OPEN" sign hanging on the door with "CLOSE" and closed for business.

"Wait, what's going on?" Cheng Xiao paused for a moment and asked with some surprise, "Do you know her?" ”

"This store was opened by my high school classmates, and then I'm the number two shareholder of this store?" Lin Qingyuan looked at Cheng Xiao, "Because of this year's righteousness, she quit her original job as a clerk in the company, and then thought about it for a long time at home, and finally decided to go to the CBD to open a coffee shop, which is her long-standing wish, and I just happened to have money, so I invested some money in her." ”

"It's really comfortable to have a classmate like you, but it's like opening a coffee shop in the CBD." Cheng Xiao frowned slightly: "I remember that one-third of the coffee shops in the capital are in CBD, and I feel that the pressure of competition will be great." ”

"Yes, but there's a lot of traffic here, and there are always pros and cons." Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, "And now in this society, as long as you want to do a good job, the competitive pressure will be very great, unless you touch the fish and mess up, otherwise there will always be someone who is more involved than you." ”

"Just like you, right? Fans call you a lazy man in business and a roll king at work. Cheng Xiao felt that she was a little bit of a fish now, because she felt that the money she had earned seemed to be enough.

"I did roll before, but now I don't really want to continue to roll, in fact, every year I say that I want to rest next year, but every year I don't do it, once people get on the high-speed train of career development, they are a little reluctant to come down." Lin Qingyuan sighed.

From the night of the 28th Golden Rooster Award Ceremony to the present, Lin Qingyuan's team and the relevant capital companies behind it have issued an endless stream of relevant circulars.

The focus of marketing is to dig deep into the behind-the-scenes stories of how hard he has worked in the past few years, how many setbacks he has suffered, and how hard he has worked as a person.

In order to create an inspirational character for him with both hard work and talent, "those who have aspirations, things can be done".

As for his original family conditions, he didn't hide them, but exposed them together, so as not to be picked up in the future, saying that the rich second generation pretended to be a subject to deceive sympathy.

And before becoming the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers double actor, as a top fault who rode the dust in popularity, Lin Qingyuan was already the focus of the whole network.

Therefore, under this overwhelming marketing offensive, the focus of the entire internal entertainment, including other circles, has also shifted to him to a large extent.

Then it may be because Lin Qingyuan has run too many announcements in the past few years and has been on variety shows too frequently, he has a lot of personal promotion materials, and the operation and dissemination speed of the public relations team is also very fast.

Therefore, under the condition of vigorous promotion of this kind of advertorial and hard text simultaneously, all major websites and forums on the Internet have been slaughtered by Lin Qingyuan's topic.

So much so that now many people are discussing hot things related to Lin Qingyuan, and they are analyzing and speculating and over-interpreting various variety show clips:

[In-depth review of the ceiling of domestic variety shows "Flowers and Boys 2" to see who is the one who provokes contradictions, and who is a good partner for tourism]

[The full episode explains "Flowers and Boys 3", the most harmonious celebrity travel reality show in domestic entertainment, and a good personality and good cultivation can't be pretended]

[Lin Qingyuan's interview with Yi Lijing for in-depth interpretation, Lin Qingyuan: This world is so imperfect, what you want to gain, you have to lose something. 】

["Trend Partner" & "Chinese Restaurant", the two performances of the same person in different variety shows let me see clearly the key to Lin Qingyuan's success]

[Lin Qingyuan: He is both a talent and a hard worker]

[From Lin Qingyuan's body, we can know that men with excellent opposite-sex relationships have the following characteristics]

[Lin Qingyuan: The smartest way to deal with the world is to not only cast a blank eye on the world, but also go along with it]

Lin Qingyuan sipped the coffee carefully, Cheng Xiao swiped his mobile phone seriously, and praised from time to time: they wrote quite well, and the analysis was quite in place!

After the Golden Rooster Emperor blew up the Weibo server on the same day, Lin Qingyuan was invisible, but all major forums on the Internet started a heated discussion around him.

So much so that this artificially created discussion boom, with the tacit consent of relevant departments, jumped out of the original domestic entertainment fan circle and spread to other mainstream circles.

Lin Qingyuan's name appeared on the exam papers of some middle schools, some fans and even non-fans of students used him as inspirational celebrity material to add luster to their essays, and some teachers even used Lin Qingyuan as an example in class to encourage students to study hard, and it is difficult to predict what kind of waves will be set off later.

But the only thing that can be determined is that Lin Qingyuan, who made up for the last shortcoming, is no longer the ordinary traffic star who ate fans in the past.

"My sister told me before that they had music lessons at school, and the teacher directly gave them your flight." Cheng Xiao was very emotional: "This is really exaggerated!" ”

"Actually, it's okay, I've written about Jay Lun before."

"But will that affect you? Isn't the burden on your shoulders a bit heavy? Cheng Xiao said worriedly.

"There are two sides to everything, this is a good thing and a bad thing, being in the spotlight and receiving great attention from public opinion, the words and deeds of literary and artistic workers will have different degrees of impact on society." Lin Qingyuan felt that this latte was a little bitter, so he added some sugar.

"I'm trying to use my influence as much as possible to output positive content to society, but you know that." Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, spinning into a milky white vortex, "My own image is actually not as positive as they imagined. ”

"Didn't you do a survey when you were hired as a tax ambassador and a space ambassador? So I think the above should be able to guess, after all, no one is perfect, especially these so-called public figures in the entertainment industry. Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement with Lin Qingyuan's thoughts.

In fact, she thinks that her personality is not very good, and sometimes she will make a fuss about trivial things, and girls from good backgrounds will have more or less princess tempers, but Lin Qingyuan will tolerate her while telling her what to do and what not to do, which also makes her understand the truth of many things.

Because sometimes, if you really don't think you are justified, you will definitely be able to get the public's approval.

Although we are all from ordinary people, we have different occupations, different fields, different incomes, different contact environments, and different people we usually meet, and there are too many factors that lead to great deviations in the thinking patterns and thinking habits of both sides.

Mutual understanding is almost impossible to achieve.

That's why there are so many celebrities who pretend to show their "pro-people", but many of them are fake.

"yes. There are really very few artists who really handle both public and private morality well." Lin Qingyuan said: "Including my idol Jie Lun, there are actually many problems that have been buried by his social influence and unified values, even if something really happens, the above will try to protect him." ”

"What's the problem? I really haven't understood, does he also have black material? Cheng Xiao asked suspiciously.

"There is nothing to talk about about this kind of thing, it can only be said that when a person's status is too high and the society is too deeply bound, it is not so easy to separate." Lin Qingyuan took a sip of coffee that had just been sweetened, "In order to maintain social stability, the executors often do not take strong measures, and I don't know when I will be like him"

"It's okay." Cheng Xiao put down the mobile phone that had turned off the screen, and began to focus on dealing with the mocha and chestnut pumpkin cheesecake in front of him, "You are actually very good now, I have never seen any artist from a traffic background who can reach your current height." ”

"I've heard that too many times."

"You can't deny this fact just because you've heard it too many times, you are already better than others, Chinese people pay attention to moderation, and mixed reputation is the most suitable situation for the development of artists." When Cheng Xiao ate the cake, the corners of her mouth were stained with some cream, which made her look at Lin Qingyuan a little more delicate and cute.

"That's right." Lin Qingyuan smiled, and then reached out and used his thumb to help her wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth.

"Or don't talk about these topics, do you know that every time I talk to you about these things, I feel a little bit testing my cultural level? I can't really talk about it without adding some knowledge on the Internet." Cheng Xiao narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Why don't you talk about what you did in Seoul and Tokyo this time except for work!" ”

"Ahem. Why did you suddenly change the subject? Lin Qingyuan was a little embarrassed in his heart, but his face remained the same.

"I'm curious!" Cheng Xiao looked at Lin Qingyuan.

"Seoul went to Lotte World to check in, and then Tokyo went to Mt. Fuji, you should have seen those photos I posted on Weibo." Lin Qingyuan's tone was calm.

"I must have seen it, but" Cheng Xiaohu looked at Lin Qingyuan suspiciously, but in the end, he didn't ask the question he really wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "Yuanbao, when can you take me abroad to play?" I've seen some bloggers' Nordic travel vlogs before, and it's super beautiful over there! It's like a fairy tale! ”

"Huh, next year?" Lin Qingyuan felt that after he finished filming Changjin Lake, there would definitely be a lot of time next year.

"Then I'll write it down in the memo! When the time comes, don't try to fool around with work excuses. Cheng Xiao took out his mobile phone to open the memo and began to type records.

"So do I need to learn a foreign language in advance?"

"If you have the time, I think so." Cheng Xiao pushed her half-eaten stack of chestnut pumpkin cheesecake over, "You taste this, it's very sweet!" ”

Lin Qingyuan smiled, "I'll work hard." ”

He didn't expect that his vaunted talent for language would one day be used as a "translator" to accompany people on foreign travel.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

He's happy to do that.
