Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 308 Fishpond Law
It was already six o'clock in the evening when the Xiaomi press conference ended.

Thousands of spectators left the venue in an orderly manner, and Shen Juan also left the venue through the back door escorted by staff.

Because a friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time mustered up the courage to make an appointment with him, Shen Juan still did not go home directly. Instead, he took a car to the restaurant address sent by this friend on WeChat.

On the way to the dining place.

Yangyangjin is working on a tablet.

Tencent's "Creation Camp 2019" and Taoyuan's "Youth With You" did not meet expectations in terms of broadcast data and online popularity, and were far behind last year's hit talent shows "Idol Producer" and "Creation 101", which seriously affected the platforms' plans to seize market share.

Therefore, they all invited Shen Juan, who has a series of titles such as "God of Talent Shows", "Hip-Hop Champion", and "Domestic Entertainment Laozi", hoping that he could spare some time to be a flying guest in one of the programs, complete the unfinished work of "Domestic Entertainment Confucius" Zhang Lay, and bring traffic to the program.

But Yang Yangjin felt that these two mediocre programs were of no benefit to Shen Juan.

This is no longer a win-win situation, this is pure one-sided bloodsucking!

The feat of having 100 trainees become NTRs at once in the finals of Idol Producer will probably be hard to come by again in this lifetime.

And Shen Juan really didn't have any schedule: he had to fly to the United States after the new year to continue working on his second album, and it was really troublesome to run back and forth.

So there is no need to hesitate, just find an appropriate reason to politely turn it down.

Goose Tao is really awesome and to some extent can decide the life and death of an actor.

But who can blame Shen Juan for not being an actor as his main occupation?
Singers have much more freedom than actors.

Shen Juan interacted with Da Zhangwei on Weibo.

Da Zhangwei loves the band Green Day so much that when he saw Shen Juan covering his idol’s classic song on the hot search on Weibo, he immediately and happily posted a Weibo post @沈涓, saying that his favorite new generation singer paid tribute to his favorite and most admired music role model. He was so excited!
Shen Juan replied with an emoji of a man wearing sunglasses in the comment section of his Weibo, attracting countless fans and netizens to join in the fun.

Speaking of which, I remember that Da Zhangwei once told Shen Juan a story like this:

He said that when he was in school he was deeply shocked after listening to Green Day's music and thought that young people should be as wild as possible!
So he formed the Huaer Band at a young age and released the songs "Devastation" and "Stillness", which became very popular at the time.

But what he found very sad was that whenever he went on stage to perform, the audience below would cover their ears.

Because rock music is not so popular in China, people still prefer quiet, elegant and slow lyrical songs.

So in order to cater to the market and make himself truly famous and mainstream, he chose to leave the music he liked and instead make music that more people would like.

He did achieve a degree of success.

But the more successful he became, the further he was from the music he loved.

Just like David Tao, he has always liked rock music, but it was R&B that ultimately brought him fame and success, and he became the godfather of Chinese R&B.

Shen Juan certainly doesn’t have the soul of punk or the soul of rock. He doesn’t really like these types of music.

But if conditions permit, he feels that he can indeed try more types of music in the country.

Just like Wu Jiaheng to hip-hop, Shen Juan also wants to bring some unpopular music to a wider audience.

Even if he didn't achieve great success in this field, he would definitely focus on commercial pop music.

But musicians in this field will always remember his contribution to the promotion of music.

We may not see much results in the short term, but our historical status and reputation in the industry will gradually improve.

The thick and tough main trunk that supports the entire tree is of course the most important, but only by cultivating the branch trunks and the twigs on the branch trunks well can the leaves get enough sunlight and nutrients, allowing the tree to grow healthily.

THETACOBAR in Sanlitun is known as the taco ceiling in Beijing and is famous for its awesome Mexican style and delicious food.

This is where we have chosen to have dinner tonight.

However, the secret meeting place agreed upon by the two was about five minutes' walk from the restaurant.

So just think of it as a walk and chat before dinner.

Anyway, I used to walk on the road like this often.

"Why did you want to eat here? I thought you were the type who preferred traditional Chinese food."

Shen Juan wore sunglasses, a mask and a baseball cap, and with his model figure of 187cm in height, he looked like a star.

"I do prefer Chinese food, but I've been eating it for more than 20 years, so I should change my taste once in a while!"

Jiang Peiyao, who had not been seen for a long time, was now wearing a long beige down jacket that covered her mid-calf, paired with fluffy white earmuffs and rabbit gloves for warmth. She looked both Korean-style lazy fashion and young girlish cuteness.

As he said this, he secretly glanced at this former street kid out of the corner of his eye.

Although he did not respond to her extremely obscure hint, Jiang Peiyao still curled her lips and said with a smile: "Besides, I asked a lot of friends and read a lot of passers-by's comments online before choosing to treat you to a meal here."

"Is that so?" Shen Juan smiled softly.

"I rarely come to this kind of restaurant. Have you ever eaten Mexican food before? Is it delicious?" Jiang Peiyao asked curiously.

"I've eaten it when I was abroad." Shen Juan's boots made soft and crisp squeaking sounds as they stepped on the thin snow.

"He is indeed an international superstar." Jiang Peiyao followed Shen Juan obediently, looking around with a vigilant eye from time to time. When he was with Shen Juan, he always felt that every passerby might be a fan or paparazzi.

Although they chose a small road where few people passed in order to minimize the risk of exposing their identities.
"I'm still a long way from being an international superstar!"

"To your fans you already are."

"What about you?" Shen Juan smiled, stretched out his right hand and threw a high-speed straight ball, waiting for the girl to respond.

Jiang Peiyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly held the right hand he extended to her, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"To me, you have always been!"

"You already are!"

The private room is located in the deepest part of the restaurant with the least traffic, so there is no view to speak of.

Ordered crawfish taco, big ass grilled shrimp, smoked chili chicken wings, slightly spicy beef patties, chicken kale salad.
It tastes really good.

The meat is fresh and the sauce is unique with cream. The prawns dipped in the unique sauce are really delicious!

No wonder so many people like this store.

In line with the principle of sharing good things with fans, Shen Juan took out his mobile phone, recorded a short video and posted it on his Instagram account.

And the post said: [TacoWednesday! ]

The internet celebrity with 70 million fans sharing his daily life quickly attracted many comments from his fans.

Of course, at the same time, many friends who kept a close eye on his social media updates also came to him.

Winter Hokkaido Team (4)

Tian Xiwei started the pre-trial questioning aggressively: [@Cheng Xiao, are you having dinner with Juan Gou? ]

Cheng Xiao, who was watching a TV drama, replied calmly: [No, I'm eating takeout at home alone~]

Zhou Ye, who was having dinner with his parents, put down his chopsticks immediately after seeing the message. Damn! Another sneaky cat?
Tian Xiwei was so angry that she started to show her teeth and claws: [Who the hell is eating tacos with him? I am really impressed]

Although Cheng Xiao was a little disappointed, he could accept it completely: [You ask me, who should I ask? (Pighead)]

There was no way to deal with this big Lei girl whose brain capacity was inversely proportional to the size of her bear tribe. Speechless, Tian Xiwei temporarily turned her gun to another enemy and friend who lived in Beijing: [How do you do your job, Ye Gou? Isn't Beijing your territory? Are you just going to watch Juan Gou go out to estrus? ]

Zhou was also helpless.

She felt that Tian Xiwei thought too highly of her.

[It's winter break, I have to go home for the New Year, sister Tianji, aren't you back home too? Are you still in Shanghai? I hope you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want done to you. And if you're really awesome, why did Juan Juan make you cry when we were all there that night? ]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! !

Tian Xiwei was so angry that she gnashed her teeth: [How dare you say that to me, you dog? Didn’t you get made to cry by Juan Gou? ]

Zhou Ye's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. He was playing the game of using thick skin to attack thin skin: [Isn't it normal for me to cry? I cry every time, and I am not like someone who likes to be stubborn. He said that the air conditioner temperature was too high and his eyes were sweating even though his tears were clearly coming out. It was so funny (:]

Tian Xiwei's face turned red and white. She was very unhappy about being criticized, but she really couldn't find any reason to refute.

I had no choice but to weakly change the subject:
[That's Director Xiao's problem! He's in the capital, but he's not doing any work.]

But Cheng Xiao's defensive attribute is ridiculously high.

She and Tian Xiwei belong to two extremes. One has high offense and low defense and often breaks the defense together with her opponent, while the other puts all her attribute points on defense.

Xiao Xiao: [It’s none of my business. I just happened to have my period these few days. Juan Juan always asks me about my well-being every day^^]

Tian Xiwei finally understood that Cheng Xiao was the type of person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, loved peace, and was content with what he had.

In the past, she would definitely like this kind of non-competitive character, and she would hope that no one would snatch Shen Juan from her.

but now?
She complained helplessly: [Can you stand up, sister? I suspect your ears and mouth are softer than your bear.]

Cheng Xiao doesn't buy into her at all. She has her own set of rules for dealing with things and is not influenced by outsiders.

【Why do you need to get hard? 】

Zhou Ye followed closely, watching the fun and not minding the trouble: [Why do you want to get hard? ]

Just like that night when it was Tian Xiwei's turn to fight against Shen Juan, she deliberately stood behind Shen Juan to help push.

She really likes to kick someone when he's down and beat him when he's down when others are bullying this Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus!

Chao! A big bear idiot and a green tea bitch!
Tian Xiwei was furious: [How can I manage a tired dog when he's with a bunch of bugs? ahhhhhhhhhhh! ]

After reading the above chat records
Shen Juan felt that if he went out at this time, he might be targeted.

So I choose to play dead, silence is Cambridge tonight.

Then I started dealing with messages from another WeChat group.

Snow White and the Five Dwarfs (6)

Bao Lujia: [The tacos that Juan Ge posted on Instagram look delicious! I will also come to this restaurant after I get admitted to Beijing Film Academy next year! ]

Some time ago, under the organization of Hu Lianxin, the five girls in this group and Hu Lianxin’s two roommates, Sun Zhenni and Lin Boyang, just went to Sanya, Hainan for a trip. They have a very good relationship now, so when someone started a topic, naturally everyone responded and participated in the discussion.

Li Wanda, who is currently studying at the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy, said excitedly: "I think I've been to this restaurant before! It's next to the Workers' Stadium."

Shen Yujie, who was preparing for the art exam in her hometown in Zhejiang and preparing to enter Beijing Film Academy to become Shen Juan's junior sister, suddenly cue Hu Lianxin and typed a joke: [Could it be Xin'er who was having dinner with Brother Juan? Doesn't she often brag about how good her relationship with Brother Juan is? What a pure nympho! ]

Hu Lianxin posted a smug puppy emoji: [Wow! Did Jiejie find out about this? ]

Shan Yichun: [You are really in Beijing? Didn’t I see you buy a flight back to Shenzhen in Sanya that day? ]

Although Shan Yichun also likes Shen Juan, she knows that her appearance is not good enough, and people on the Internet say that Shen Juan’s appearance is not good enough.

So she was able to remain relatively rational in front of Shen Juan, because she knew that it was impossible for her and her idol to be together. Bao Lujia: [Well, you actually sneaked away! I'm going to post it on Juange's super chat and let them cyberbully you! You're done!!!]

Bao Lujia was extremely depressed. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Beijing to find Juan Ge. Alas, it was my own fault for being too timid.

Li Wanda: [Sister Xiner is so amazing! ]

Li Wanda, who is only 15 years old, may know that she can't catch up with "Sister-in-law 101" and "Sister-in-law 202".

Therefore, I maintain a good relationship with the contestants in the group who are expected to participate in "Sister-in-law 202".

They are all good sisters and we don’t make enemies with anyone.

This will help her accumulate intelligence for participating in "Sister-in-law 303" and truly win at the starting line.

Hu Lianxin laughed so hard: [Hehehe! ]

Shen Yujie didn't expect that her casual mention would actually reveal true news. She felt a little sour in her heart and fell into silence.

Fortunately, Shen Juan stood up at this time to help her drive away her sorrow and boredom.

[I wonder if I didn't see you in the store either? ]

When Hu Lianxin saw the Snow White Prince suddenly appear in the group, she subconsciously widened her eyes and closed her legs. A refreshing heat flow circulated through her limbs and bones. Her cheeks and earlobes, which were gradually warming up, also showed an alluring blush due to the beautiful and ambiguous fragments of memories in her mind.

She swallowed and typed back: [I didn't say I was having dinner with you, Brother Juan. (blushing) (blushing)]

Shen Juan: [What did you say above? ]

After Shen Juan's long-term flood discharge and dredging, Xiao Hu, an amateur, has apparently become shameless to a certain level.

Hu Lianxin: [Jiejie found out that I was a nympho! ]

Shen Juan: [.]

Shen Juan: [You are invincible. ]

It is indeed invincible.

This sister even bought a small toy with a remote control online some time ago, saying that she would give the small toy to her and the remote control to Shen Juan when they go out in the future, which made Shen Juan a little tempted.

After all, he had never played this kind of operation before.

It seems quite interesting when you think about it.

Then, Shen Juan opened the chat windows of other WeChat friends and dealt with the unread messages they sent.

Naza: [Who is this woman? ! ! ]

Shen Juan said calmly: [A woman you don’t know.]

After waiting for about half a minute, Nazha, who was so confused that her CPU was overloaded due to Shen Juan's overly straightforward and honest reply, finally replied.

[I asked my sisters, they all said you were playing with me, they also said you only look for me when you are bored. Am I your toy? ]

Shen Juan raised his brows slightly, intending to tease her.

【You told others about our affairs? 】

Nazha looked very nervous and flustered, afraid that Shen Juan would misunderstand her as a big mouth and talk nonsense everywhere, so she quickly sent a voice message: "No, no! How is it possible! Of course I would not do such a wicked thing! Our relationship is very confidential! If you say not to tell others, I won't tell others!"

"Then how did your sister know?" Shen Juan sent a voice reply to Nazha in front of Jiang Peiyao.

"I didn't say your name, and I didn't reveal any information about your identity! Trust me, okay?"

"Is that so? Do you really think so? Your best friend said I was playing with you, do you think so too?"

Shen Juan had a smirk on his face that made Jiang Peiyao, who was sitting opposite him, feel very cool and handsome.

She had never thought before that a man could be such an obvious scumbag, chatting sweetly with other girls in front of her, who was his ambiguous partner.

For a moment, I couldn't help feeling a little upset.

But I have to admit that the man in front of me has his own unique charm.

Even if you know that he is a promiscuous scumbag, you still have the urge to get close to him, understand him and fall in love with him.

"Of course not!" Nazha hastily denied it, fearing that giving an answer that would dissatisfy Shen Juan would cause their relationship to return to the unattainable mode of chasing the moon.

Shen Juan replied with a calm “Oh”.

After about half a minute, no new messages came in. Shen Juan thought the conversation was over. But just as he was about to take off his headphones, put down his phone and continue eating, he saw a new twelve-second voice message suddenly appear in the chat window.

"But if this is true, if you really treat me as a toy, Shen Juan, can you play with me for the rest of my life? Please don't throw me away when you get tired of me, please!"

Even though he had seen many cases of licking the scumbag before, Shen Juan was still a little shocked by Nazha's shocking remarks at this moment.

I can't understand, but I was shocked.

You really don’t have to lick me like that, sister!

There are so many people who like you, so many people who pursue you, and so many people who are willing to be your licking dogs
Could it be that after I hooked her for over a year and let her chase the moon for over a year, she really developed some kind of mental illness?

Or did he really make her fall in love with him?

So in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, such as regretting the stupid things she said in a fit of anger and thus affecting the purely worry-relieving relationship between the two running friends, Shen Juan decided to let her calm down and rely on the passage of time to let her find the truest answer in her heart.

"Your ovulation period has arrived. It will be fine in two days."

"How come he is so unique and so handsome!" The woman, who was already blushing and eyes full of love, couldn't help but scream out after seeing this heart-breaking news. Her favorability towards Shen Juan increased further, and she reached a new realm that no one had ever reached before.

I just like such a cool man!!!
"Who are you chatting with? You're smiling so happily."

Seeing that Shen Juan finally put down his phone, Jiang Peiyao couldn't help but speak up to break the relatively silent dining atmosphere between the two.

"Was I laughing just now?" Shen Juan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, and he laughed very hard."

Jiang Peiyao chewed the food in her mouth carefully. Her face, which looked a bit like Gao Yuanyuan, showed no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, but her tone was slightly sour, revealing the girl's true feelings at the moment.

"Just a friend."

"Are we really just friends?"

Jiang Peiyao looked seriously at Shen Juan's deep eyes, which still looked clear even if he was lying.

"To be precise, they should be one level higher than friends."

Although most of the time, telling the truth will make girls unhappy, some girls even prefer to let their partners lie to them in order to gain temporary happiness and live a carefree life every day.

But it’s also only the vast majority of the time.

Rather than absolute and certain.

Therefore, Shen Juan never intended to build a bubble relationship that seemed solid and prosperous but was actually fragile and could not stand the test by covering up and making up lies.

After all, as a public figure, it is absolutely impossible to maintain long-term stability in the transnational fish pond by using false lies as bait.

By then, people will be deceived badly, and after they lose their minds, there is the risk of both sides being ruined and getting hammered.

He is not a loser like Kris Wu who would do anything to sleep with a girl, so why did he end up like this?

"One level higher than friends, doesn't that mean the relationship between us is one level higher?" Jiang Peiyao was upset and couldn't help turning her head to look at the mural on the wall. The gentle light from the chandelier above her head reflected on her face, forming a faint light and shadow. Her eyes seemed to reveal envy and yearning.

“There’s no need to compare yourself with others.”

"But it's really hard for me not to think about these messy things." Jiang Peiyao held her chin with both hands and looked at Shen Juan, her gentle eyes flashing with a soft halo and firm color, "When do you think I can make you laugh uncontrollably when you look at the phone screen like she did?"

Shen Juan looked at the girl quietly and fell silent.

In fact, I knew that Jiang Peiyao had a crush on him as early as last year when she was filming "Dear, Beloved".

At that time, the two of them and Yang Zi would walk on the street and chat to digest their food after work every day.

During this period, Jiang Peiyao would bring the topic to him whenever she had time, trying to talk to him more and get to know him better.

Even Yang Zi noticed this, and sometimes he would tease others on WeChat about being loved by everyone and flowers blooming wherever they go.

But Jiang Peiyao never made this matter clear.

And Shen Juan was not in a hurry to invite her to a hotel for a friendly match like he did with Roast Goose Aibao and those Japanese girls.

In fact, when there are enough fish fry in the fish pond, instead of trying to bring others into the fish pond, he would rather become good friends with others and be able to chat and talk about everything.

After all, for him now, the number of fish fry far exceeds the number of friends, and friends have become a scarce commodity.

So after a long while, he explained the situation softly:

“I cherish our friendship.”

"I know, so I think we can be friends for life!" Jiang Peiyao stared into Shen Juan's eyes.

"But you only turned 25 in March this year. It's a bit exaggerated to talk about a lifelong commitment at such a young age."

"I just want to show you my determination!" The girl's eyes were filled with a firmness that was rarely seen in the past.

"I still have many friends like you."

"I'm not your partner. Who you want to meet or how many friends you want to meet has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me." Jiang Peiyao blinked in confusion, indicating that she didn't understand anything and didn't want to understand.

"I think you have to prepare yourself mentally in advance."

"I am used to walking and watching, and I won't understand things I haven't experienced before I actually experience them."

"Then you might feel sad sometimes."

"Then can I come and talk to you when I'm sad?" Jiang Peiyao raised the corner of her mouth and tilted her head, looking particularly playful and cute. "I know my limits and won't bother you when I have nothing to do."

After a moment's silence, Shen Juan sighed slightly, as if he had made some decision in his heart. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and gently stroked the girl's fair and clean face. Then, he held her peaceful face in his palms, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

"Okay, in that case."

Jiang Peiyao was looking forward to Shen Juan's reply.

"After dinner, don't go home tonight." He made the invitation seriously.

Of course, a girl who already has someone in her heart and has been looking forward to this day and this moment for a long time will not refuse.
