Chapter 34 Ghostface, the manager
"Mama," the pink and jade-cut little girl said pitifully, "It's New Year's Eve, why didn't Dad give me a New Year's gift?"
I'm afraid he has forgotten both of us.
Forget it.
He was an unreliable man.
Never counted on him.
Yan Yingzhen put down the champagne in her hand and said lightly, "Your father doesn't have a job, so he probably doesn't have the money to buy you gifts."
The girl looked up at her mother, her big eyes flickering, "Mama Mama, you have a lot of money, right? Can you give some money to Dad?"
Yan Yingzhen said indifferently: "Not good."
The girl pouted, lowered her head, and glanced at her mother from time to time.
After a while, she said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm so bored."
"Go to sleep when you're bored."
"But people don't want to sleep! You said, I can go to bed later during the New Year."
"Then don't talk, watch the Spring Festival Gala."
"I don't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala. I want to call my father. I miss my father."
"Don't miss him."
She secretly glanced at her mother's expression. The smart girl knew very well that she couldn't continue talking about her father, so she immediately changed her mind: "I miss my grandparents. Mom, why don't you take me to see my grandparents?"
Yan Yingzhen felt agitated for a while, took a big sip of champagne, and accidentally choked.
She coughed violently.
The well-behaved girl immediately stood behind her and beat her back.
After a while, Yan Yingzhen calmed down and said in a flat tone, "I'll take you to see your grandparents in a while."
"thanks Mom."
...
The Spring Festival Gala on the Blue Star side, how should I put it, the overall level is similar to that on the Earth side. Nothing new, nothing to catch the eye.
Looking drowsy.
Especially the stage beauty and lighting special effects of this era are much worse than the era Du Caige traveled through.
As a result, Du Caige's evaluation of this Spring Festival Gala is getting lower and lower.
Of course, it's not entirely without good shows.
There is a sketch that is not bad. It is a bit of a ridicule to the sense of privilege and bureaucracy of some high-ranking officials.
I feel that the cultural environment on the blue star side is more relaxed. A program like this is absolutely unacceptable on Earth.
Du Caige remembers this. In the future, he will spend more time exploring the margins, after all, he also intends to do literary creation for a long time... oh, literary transfer.
At this time, another program ended, the host said a string of words, and then broadcast the next program.
Famous singer Su Manqian brings you the song "Floating Life".
Before the camera could reach Su Manqian, Du Qiqi was quick-witted and picked up the remote control and pressed it.
"Crack", the TV turned off.
"Don't look at her." Du Yanqi said.
Du Caige didn't understand why her sister was so disgusted with the singer, but she didn't say anything.
Du Ranqi secretly glanced at Du Caige's expression, but didn't speak, just kept nibbling on melon seeds.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
After five or six minutes, Du Rongqi turned on the TV again, and the Spring Festival Gala had already proceeded to the next program.
The siblings continued to watch.
After a while, Du Caige's phone vibrated again, and he looked at the caller ID: Yong.
Du Ruoqi glanced at him and whispered to himself, "He remembers to give you New Year's greetings every year."
Du Caige knew that this person should be a friend of the original owner and kept in touch.
Du Caige pressed the answer, and chatted a few words with the other party in a more casual tone, saying "Happy New Year" to each other, without revealing anything.
After hanging up the phone, Du Rongqi said angrily, "Why don't you just forget Brother Zou Guoyong because of your memory loss?"
Du Caige: "...hehe.
"Sister, I really forgot about him.
Du Ruoqi seemed to fall into memory, and continued with a bit of a self-talking nature: "Brother Yong is the best among your friends. You haven't moved for several years, right? Actually, you can keep in touch with him and move around more. Yes. You didn't even go when he got married. Seriously, you're going too far. By the way, your band is not married now, right?"
Du Caige didn't speak. Hearing the end, my heart moved. Has the original owner played in a band before? Is it a small fight, or is it an artist who officially debuted?
Du Yanqi quickly gave him the answer. She said to herself: "Until now, I still hear some classmates talking about how good your 'Grimace' band was at the beginning, but it's a pity that you didn't make an official debut. It's funny, how old are my classmates? They should be I have never watched your performances, and I guess I have heard from others."
Du Caige wanted to hear more about the original owner, but Du Rongqi had already been attracted by a song and dance show: "Wow, this dance is beautiful!"
Not only Du Caige received New Year's greetings calls, but her sister also received many.
Du Caige felt that her sister was so beautiful, there must be no shortage of dog licking in the school, and there must be her suitors among the people who call for New Year's greetings.
However, Du Ruoqi's expression has always been very indifferent. No matter who is calling, he just hangs up after a few sentences. He only talks a little longer when talking to a girl named "Ayu".
When it was almost 10 o'clock, Du Rongqi had received more than 20 calls for New Year's greetings, and there were countless text messages for New Year's greetings. Her mobile phone was almost out of power, so she simply turned it off and left it to charge.
At this time, Du Caige received the fourth New Year's call.
It was Xiao Xianrou Jiang Youxi who called.
Jiang Youxi should be in the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala somewhere, and she could hear the noisy environment there. After greeting each other, Du Caige asked casually, "Do you have a show tonight?"
Jiang Youxi smiled and confirmed Du Caige's guess: "Yes, Brother Du. I am at the Spring Festival Gala on Mango Terrace."
"Have you been busy lately?"
"I want to have a meal."
Du Caige said, "Drink tea together when you are free."
Jiang Youxi said excitedly: "Okay! I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I'll invite you when I return to the capital!"
Another half an hour later, Du Caige's phone vibrated again, and the caller ID this time was "Fan".
"Fan" should be a surname, right?
Du Caige wanted to know the basic information of the other party, and deliberately stared at the caller ID, frowning in thought.
Du Yanqi ate the melon seeds and glanced at it, "Hey, Uncle Fan should have not contacted you for a long time."
Du Caige smiled and said, "Do you think I should pick it up?"
Du Ruoqi rolled his eyes at him: "I don't know what happened to you. I just remember that Uncle Fan treated you very well when I was young. He doesn't look like your manager, he's just your father."
Another important piece of information!
This surnamed Fan is the agent of the original owner!
And who needs a broker? Athlete, entertainer.
Du Caige looked at his thin body. It's not like an athlete's body.
So, of course, it can only be an artist!
Now I can finally hit the hammer, the original owner is a debut artist!
Du Caige pressed the answer, but did not speak.
"Uh, Xiao Du, Happy New Year." The speaker was a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s, his voice was full of vicissitudes.
Du Caige hesitated for a moment, between "Brother Fan" and "Uncle Fan", he chose the former. "Brother Fan, long time no see. Happy New Year to you too."
Brother Fan said hesitantly: "I haven't called you all the time. I'm a little...don't know how to speak. I took the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to call you today, I thought...I thought you wouldn't answer."
Du Caige quickly entered the analysis mode. Listening to this dialogue, Brother Fan seems to be conscious that he has done something wrong, worried that the original owner will not forgive him?
Du Caige used a more versatile answer: "It's been so long, why do you still think so much."
"Yes, it's been so long, yes, it's really been a long time," Brother Fan's voice sounded a little excited, "Are you okay now?"
"I'm okay, how about you, are your family okay?"
"What else can I do?" Brother Fan smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "I'm getting old, and things are going from bad to worse. My family is all right, but I'm actually quite satisfied. At my age, what else can I fail to achieve? The safety of the family is the most important thing.”
Du Caige smiled: "That's good."
"I heard about your parents, your condolences."
"thanks."
After being silent for a while, Brother Fan said with emotion: "Actually, thinking about it now, I don't regret persuading you at the beginning, but I can persuade you in a smarter way. This will not make you disgusted, maybe it will make you Recognize his (her) true face earlier, and it won't happen later."
Du Caige: "..."
What kind of thing happened, you old man should tell me clearly!
