Chapter 88: Congratulations on being fooled
Soon, everything in the music room returned to normal, the small theater began to perform externally, the small band added a piano and electronic organ, among the singers who signed the contract, the sixteen-year-old female singer Bing'er, who had become popular in her previous life and became a top singer, got the special training of Song Haowen and Tian Nana, when they were not available to perform, she was on top, because she looked pure, bright-eyed, sweet and likable, although she did not have her own famous works, but she had a super ability to imitate, and most of the cover songs could be fake and true, close to the original song, Therefore, the performance effect is quite good, and it is normal for someone to order her to sing another song.
Song Haowen remembered in his heart that when Bing'er's personality became more mature, he would find her a suitable song to help her become famous in one fell swoop, but before that, she had to sharpen her temperament. Mentally incomplete, becoming famous too early, it is easy to lose your way in front of fame and fortune, Bing'er has repeatedly suffered losses in this regard in her previous life, and she was almost completely ruined a few times. In addition, there are many examples of revenge in the music world in the previous life, if you work hard just to cultivate a white-eyed wolf, it is better to let her fend for herself.
Before I knew it, a week had passed, and it was a weekend afternoon, Su Yan suggested that Gu Ziwei be invited to the music room, and thank her for her strong words to bring the music room back to life. Song Haowen also had this intention for a long time, but he didn't care about it.
For the convenience of work, a hand-cranked telephone was installed in the music room, before the automatic dialers on the market appeared. Hand-cranked telephones need to be manually transferred by the telecommunications department, and there is no secret to the call, and if you say something that should not be said, it will become a laughing stock of the public if it is passed out by the operator.
As soon as Song Haowen went to work at noon, he called the "Beijing Evening News", but unfortunately, Gu Ziwei went out for an interview and couldn't answer the phone. He reported his surname and employer, asked the newspaper staff to help spread the word, and when she arrived at the unit, he would call back.
Before getting off work, Song Haowen received a call from Gu Ziwei and asked her what was the matter. Song Haowen said what Su Yan meant. Gu Ziwei said that if it was him who had a treat, she could consider it; A treat to the music room, forget it. He said, it's okay for me to have a treat, but I'll ask Tian Nana to accompany you, okay? There is no atmosphere for the two of them to eat.
Gu Ziwei snorted on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm kidding you." How could I break up your golden boy and girl duo? Your music room is an important interview subject for me, so how can I not get along with each other? I happen to be free tonight to accept your invitation. By the way, isn't there still a performance in your small theater tonight, how can you have time to eat? ”
"Tian Nana and I don't have a performance assignment tonight. We have time. Song Haowen said enthusiastically.
"Well, I agreed. Where are you going to invite me? Don't waste too much. Gu Ziwei said with a smile.
"We would like to invite you to Tianqiao Hotel for dinner."
"Isn't that a bit too wasteful? It's a first-class hotel in Beijing. Let's change to a regular hotel. ”
"If you're not too bad, this is it. Mainly it's close to the music room to take care of the little theater. ”
"That's right. Then listen to you. How many people have dinner at night? ”
"You and me, Manager Su, Tian Nana, and a female assistant."
"What time does it start?"
"How's six and a half in the evening? We'll be waiting for you in the lobby then. ”
"It's not even five o'clock. Yes. I try to be on time. ”
"Okay, see you soon."
At 6:15 p.m., Song Haowen and his entourage came to the reserved box of Tianqiao Hotel to make preparations before dinner. The small theater starts at 7:30 p.m., when Su Yan and her assistant will leave early, leaving Song Haowen and Tian Nana to accompany Gu Ziwei.
At 6:20 p.m., Su Yan and her assistant went to the lobby to greet Gu Ziwei, and Song Haowen and Tian Nana did not go out for the time being for fear of being recognized by fans and causing chaos. But everyone waited left and right, and when it was seven o'clock in the evening, they didn't see Gu Ziwei, and they were all a little anxious, I don't know if she had something to delay. Because Su Yan had to take care of the performance of the small theater, she had to go back with her assistant first, leaving Tian Nana and Song Haowen to continue to wait.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Ziwei didn't come, which made Song Haowen and Tian Nana worried. Because Gu Ziwei either didn't agree, since she agreed, she didn't come, one possibility is that there is some urgent interview task temporarily; Another possibility is that something happened to her herself.
Song Haowen called the newspaper office to inquire about the news, and the attendant said that Gu Ziwei had already left work, and as for whether she would have a temporary interview task, the attendant said that this aspect was not under his control, and he did not know the specific situation.
It's a pity that there were no mobile phones at that time, and once people left the unit, they couldn't be contacted at all. Song Haowen and Tian Nana stared at each other, helpless for a while, so they had to simply eat something and leave depressed. When we arrived at the music room, the performance in the small theater was not over. After listening to the reports of the two, Su Yan comforted them, and then went back to work.
The next day was Sunday, and in the morning, Song Haowen called the newspaper again, and the other party gave him a "I don't know" and hung up the phone directly. Dare to love the other party to treat his phone call as a harassing call. He had to give up the idea of calling, thinking that if something happened, she should take the initiative to call and explain. Later, as soon as there were many things, he forgot about it.
In the afternoon, Song Haowen talked to everyone about the collection in the sales department, Qian Youlai mentioned that there is a granite quarry in the suburbs of Beijing, and there was a big news last week, they found the composition of jade in a big stone, and now many jade lovers flocked to it, but the result was nothing.
"If you want to find jade from ordinary stones, it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack. Don't think about this kind of wealth. Song Haowen sighed.
Wang Li said: "When I said this, I remembered one thing. Yesterday, a man came over with a stone, saying that it was a jade stone, and wanted to sell it to us for 500 yuan. I said, the manager is not here today, if you sincerely want to sell, you will come back tomorrow at noon when the boss is there. ”
Na Renhua said: "I think that stone is simply an ordinary stone, and I took it out to deceive people. ”
Zhu Hongyu agreed. "If it's really that valuable, will he still take it out and sell it cheaply?"
Qian Youlai said disappreciatively: "If this stone is not cut, who can know what it looks like inside?" Isn't there an old saying, what is it called 'gambling stone'? ”
Song Haowen said with a smile: "Gambling stones, gambling stones, there is no victory." If you want to pick up the leak from this, it is difficult to go to the sky. ”
"Who said 'it's hard to pick up leaks in the sky'? This luck is coming, and no one can stop it. It's like a pig on the tuyere, it can fly to the sky! "At this time, a dark-faced man in his forties walked in as he spoke." Is your store manager here? ”
Wang Li hurriedly said to Song Haowen: "This is the person." She said to the man, "This one next to me is the manager of our store." ”
"Oh, so the manager is your little doll? Can you do the Lord? The man couldn't believe it.
Song Haowen laughed and said, "Of course I can call the shots." Uncle, you said that it is easy to pick up the leak, so how about you let me pick up the leak once in the next place? ”
The man unhurriedly opened his handbag, took out a stone the size of a lead ball, and handed it to Song Haowen. "Look, this stone is a leak. Unbelief? If you look at the green color on this side of the stone, it means that there is a high probability that there is a large piece of jadeite in it. ”
Song Haoran took the stone and looked at it, and sure enough, a trace of green appeared from the side of the stone, indicating that there was a possibility of jadeite inside, but it was difficult to say whether it was a block inside.
"Why did you sell it to us when you're so sure? This leak is not fragrant to pick up by yourself, do you have to learn from Lei Feng? ”
The old man blushed and said, "I mean there is a great possibility of picking up the leak, and I am not 100% sure." I can't see through. ”
Qian Youlai took the stone from Song Haowen. "Isn't this just a rock thrown on the side of the road that you can't get? You should be a treasure, take it home and hide it as an heirloom. ”
"Yes. Such a broken stone can only be used to press pickles, and it is embarrassing to sell us for 500 yuan, how can we open it? Wang Li followed up with a knife.
The man blushed and said, "This is really a gem, I bought it for two hundred and eighty yuan in southern Myanmar." In fact, he spent less than fifty dollars.
"If what you say is true, then congratulations on being fooled." Na Renhua gloated.
Song Haowen asked: "Uncle, what other treasures do you have, take them out for us to enjoy, if there is really something for me to fancy, I will definitely want it." ”
The man hesitated, then took out several stones from his handbag. The largest of them was the size of a volleyball, and the epidermis showed red broken patterns, Song Haowen felt very heavy in his hand, and asked curiously: "Isn't this a piece of granite?" Do you still want to sell it as a gem? ”
"It is true that his appearance looks like granite, but his weight is much heavier than that of granite of the same size. So, this stone is not ordinary granite, and it is likely that there is a ruby hidden in it. ”
Song Haowen said with a smile: "The texture of this stone is relatively delicate, if you use it to make a stone ball to play with, it is not impossible." Master, how much are you going to sell this stone? ”
This stone was picked up by the man from the granite quarry on the outskirts of Beijing that made big news last week, and it didn't cost a penny. "Boss, you have a good eye and know that this is a baby. I bought it from someone else for a hundred dollars, and I sold it to you for a hundred and fifty dollars, and I earned a hard fee. ”
Zhu Hongyu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected: "Cut, there are many stones on the mountain in our hometown." Master, if you want it, I don't want a hundred yuan, one dollar, how much you want, but you pay for the journey. ”
The man was choked by Zhu Hongyu and was speechless for a while. Song Haowen said: "I take a fancy to this stone, but the price should be reasonable." I think it's worth a penny. However, considering such a heavy thing, it was quite hard for the master to take it back and forth, so I offered a high price, ten yuan, and was willing to sell it, so I bought it. ”
