Age of Legends

Chapter 58 Legendary Figure: Zhao Tao

The five days of registration passed in a flash. During these days, Zhang Chen went out early and came back late every day. Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen knew that he was helping his godfather Wang Bowen, and since they had reported it, they didn't ask much.

It was just that during this period, the "Star of Tomorrow" was all over the city, and they had heard about it. Sometimes when they saw Zhang Chen coming back at night, Zhang Zhonghua, who was holding the Rongcheng Metropolitan Newspaper in his hand, was also proud of it. "Your godfather has made a big deal this time, and he is very busy, so he called you to help!"

They thought Zhang Chen was just an assistant. They didn't object, Wang Bowen would definitely give him wages, and he also regarded it as a chance for his child to get some social experience.

Rongcheng Metropolis Daily, founded in 95, is worth mentioning. It is the first metropolitan newspaper in China, similar to the offline version of a portal website.

A metropolitan newspaper covers every aspect of the city, has a wealth of information, is highly readable, has an original distribution network, and is highly timely, making it the newspaper with the largest circulation in the southwest region for a long time.

The communication power is also very strong. In fact, in terms of local communication power, the local life portals are not even as good as the urban newspapers at that time. It’s just that the portals have real-time sharing and interactive functions. Even so, they can still make a good response, and their glory continued until the Internet 2.0 era.

If it is published in this newspaper, it will have a very strong influence.

After Yan Mingshu, she seemed to help promote the project as promised, and some people also signed up through her introduction. They were all from wealthy families and signed up for individual projects. During the entire registration period, there were a total of seven people in the highest-end 9999 yuan project. Except for one person, almost all of them were introduced by Yan Mingshu. Among the seven people, Liu Xiwei and two other girls were the ones Zhang Chen had met in Ledi KTV that day.

There are solo dances, instrumental solos, and piano solos.

The solo performances of the seven VIPs will be interspersed throughout the performance, and each performance will be limited to five minutes.

Taking into account the total number of people who have registered, the entire program duration now reaches four hours.

It is expected to start at 6:00 p.m. on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and be broadcast on the second life and entertainment channel of Rongcheng TV until 10:00 p.m.

If it were a live evening show, this time would undoubtedly be a disaster. But the Star of Tomorrow is different, it is just a recorded report show.

Moreover, the whole process is compact, with the next program starting immediately after one show, and there is no wasted time in between.

After the recording is complete, the program information will be sent to each registered family, so that they can watch the performance according to the time period of their own performance.

So four hours is completely sufficient, and most of them are group performances, so we can accommodate enough applicants and even several hundred can be accommodated.

Because Liu Xiwei and her friends knew Zhang Chen, they stayed a little longer after registering that day and chatted with Zhang Chen.

Liu Xiwei and the other three girls who attend aristocratic schools are indeed different from ordinary girls. They are much more mature and their dressing style exceeds that of ordinary high school students. From their conversation, it can be seen that they have a lot of contact with others and have a lot of information.

Of course, Zhang Chen was just observing from a scrutinizing perspective. After all, he was his VIP client.

Liu Xiwei also asked Zhang Chen how many people had signed up for the solo performance, and after looking at Zhang Chen's list, she said, "Oh, I know them all. It seems that Miss Yan really worked hard to promote you. No wonder, the night after we met, Miss Yan held a party at Chuntianyuan, but I didn't go. It seems that she was trying to attract customers for you. She is quite nice to you!"

Zhang Chen was stunned by Liu Xiwei's words. To be honest, Yan Mingshu was indeed swift and decisive. She brought Secretary Yan here the next day, which made the program run smoothly and brought about essential changes. She was very grateful. But Zhang Chen didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic and even made a special trip to promote it at the party.

"Spring Garden..." Zhang Chen knew this villa area naturally. It was one of the earliest villa areas for the rich in Rongcheng, and it was located in the main city, where dignitaries lived. "Oh, that's not Yan Mingshu's house, it's Xie Xue's house on your list. We often play in her villa. There is a small club next to it, where we can have afternoon tea or something, a sister's place. I guess Xie Xue was treating us at that time, so Miss Yan promoted it for you. Otherwise, how could there be such a good opportunity to come during your registration period. If you asked her to call everyone one by one, Yan Mingshu would definitely find it troublesome, but this kind of thing, she is very enthusiastic!"

Liu Xiwei tilted her head and looked at Zhang Chen again, "Are you touched?"

Zhang Chen nodded, "I'm touched."

Think about it, Yan Mingshu went to the party villa to recommend this to the sisters. She is really the tap water that does the most publicity without charging any fees. "I am also touched that you also come to support my part-time job."

"Come on, you are so young, why do you speak like my dad's secretary, so tight-lipped? Anyway, Yan Mingshu is just like that. You'll know the more you get to know her. Miss Yan thinks you are a good person and gave us a discount, so she's helping you." Liu Xiwei looked at him with a sly smile, "Don't think too much!"

Zhang Chen: "My sister is thinking too much!"

Liu Xiwei smiled meaningfully, "Do you know Zhao Tao?"

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then said, "I've heard of it."

He knew Zhao Tao, who was also very famous in later generations and was a legendary figure. It was said that he was very handsome and resembled Aaron Kwok. If we use the language of Young and Dangerous, he could be said to be the leader of the entire East City area.

Zhao Tao studied at Minzu University. It is said that when he entered the school that year, he had a fight with a group of local gangs. There were dozens of people in the fight. Benches, tables and chairs flew everywhere. In the end, he was the only one standing.

The amazing thing is that the school managed to make a big deal out of an incident that could have caused a huge uproar, and Zhao Tao did not receive any punishment, but several people from the opposite school were sent to the hospital.

This incident is famous.

Later, Zhao Tao graduated from Minzu University and started his own business. Several entertainment cities on the pedestrian street belong to him.

Zhao Tao's reputation was well-known, and now everyone in the East District of Rongcheng who had some connection with the underworld knew him. He had already left the underworld and moved towards capital. In the subsequent crackdown on gangs, Zhao Tao successfully put aside the fights of the past and escaped a wave of whirlpools. However, many of his brothers at the time were imprisoned or executed because they parted ways.

Wang Shuowei knew Zhao Tao and was said to be related to him, but overall Zhang Chen had never seen this person.

But I didn't expect to hear this name from Liu Xiwei again this time.

Liu Xiwei patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Zhao Tao's father works in the Education Bureau. Miss Yan's father was also promoted from the Education Bureau. It is said that she recognized him as her elder brother at that time! So you know, Miss Yan secretly likes him! Don't think about irrelevant things!"

What kind of drama is this about a rich girl liking a gangster boss? Zhang Chen nodded and said, "Got it. I will never touch the woman of the big brother."

Instead, Liu Xiwei was blocked from saying a word, "I... will beat you!"
