Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

She went back to the bathroom, wrapped her hair with a dry towel, and then quietly came behind Zhou Chen.

Chapter 179 Barbecue Street

"Zhou Chen, thank you for your hard work!"

Cheng Yushan stood behind Zhou Chen, rubbing his shoulders with his hands, and his voice was particularly gentle.

Yes, the barbecue restaurant is so popular that Zhou Chen announced that he doesn’t have to worry about his mother’s job anymore.

But for Zhou Chen, helping out also delayed the updating of the novel.

This made Cheng Yushan feel uncomfortable.

After all, she has seen how popular "Fights Break Sphere" is. To put it bluntly, the profit Zhou Chen brings in from updating a chapter may be much more than what a barbecue restaurant earns in a whole day.

But for his own sake, Zhou Chen put writing the novel last...

"Why are you so hard-working? Why are you being so polite to me..."

At this time, Zhou Chen had just written another chapter, but he did not update it immediately. Instead, he set a time, so that there would be an update tomorrow.

Well, I also have manuscripts saved, even if it’s only one chapter.

"Well... you look like you want to marry me, how about..."

Zhou Chen raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yushan, whose eyes were strained.

"Yushan, I haven't taken a shower yet!"

"Then let me help you!"

Cheng Yushan felt Zhou Chen's naked gaze and her pretty face turned red. She directly pulled Zhou Chen up and walked towards the bathroom.

scoff!

However, because he moved too quickly, the towel wrapped around his body fell to the ground.

However, Cheng Yushan couldn't care less.

"Today, I will serve our great hero well and make you take a comfortable bath!"

In a moment, water splashed everywhere in the bathroom, it was a wonderful sight.

The next morning, Zhou Chen got up early and accompanied Lu Qiao to the vegetable market again to buy all the necessary ingredients.

By the evening, customers from nowhere appeared in front of the Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant again.

"Wow, we finally got here."

"Boss, are you open? I want to eat barbecue!"

"Master Zhou Chen, I'm from the neighboring Xiangbei Province, and I came here specifically to see you!"

"Dou Da, I'm a fan of your book, can you give me a portion of fried vermicelli first?"

Last night, many people posted the video of the scene on TikTok, which caused quite a stir.

Barbecue can be found everywhere, but at this Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant, big stars like Zhou Chen and Ji Linlin can sing together. This kind of atmosphere is what many netizens dream of.

Therefore, many people booked trains to Xingzhou overnight, wanting to experience such a lively atmosphere together.

"Of course, come on, sit down and order yourselves!"

Zhou Chen laughed and started his escort service again.

Take photos, chat, sing...

As the sky grew darker, more and more people gathered in front of the Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant.

At first, people wanted to wait for seats at the Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant, but seeing so many people, many people had no choice but to choose to sit at a nearby barbecue restaurant.

This made the merchants very happy.

Zhou Chen is simply their lucky star. With this guy around, all they need to do every day is to open the door, wait for people to come, and then wait to make money.

No need to worry about anything else!

In the following days, this situation happened every day, and a large number of people came here to eat almost every day. More importantly, in addition to locals, most of the people who came here every day were from other places.

Even many internet celebrities have come here to take advantage of the traffic, and before they knew it, it has become a check-in spot for internet celebrities. Many netizens are thinking about booking tickets to come and play at the barbecue restaurant.

At first, the transportation department was a little reluctant about this matter. For no reason, this would increase their workload. Your barbecue restaurant may make money, but we will have to work overtime and not go home.

However, with the unified deployment of the Xingzhou City Culture and Tourism Bureau, the originally congested traffic and chaotic crowds soon became orderly.

Tourists who come here to eat barbecue can stay in hotels at the same price as usual. The Cultural and Tourism Bureau has even mobilized all forces to open up several streets near the barbecue restaurant for these tourists to park. Even a road that has been in disrepair for a long time has been repaired overnight.

After these things were discovered by netizens, they immediately attracted a lot of praise.

"Xingzhou speed, good job!"

"Did we eat barbecue? No, you can eat barbecue anywhere, but Xingzhou is particularly welcoming to us, and we can also listen to Zhou Chen singing, so we must go!"

"Thumbs up for Seongju, there are so many tourist attractions there, I want to go there too!"

"Support! We like this kind of respectful attitude!"

For a time, the popularity of Xingzhou began to ferment and became a focus of everyone's attention.

The street where Zhou Chen's Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant is located has become a barbecue street. Not only the original barbecue restaurant is there, but in just one week, many barbecue vendors have come here to set up stalls.

That would have been fine, as many merchants who had originally planned to go to the snack street also came over one after another.

There's no way around it, there are too many people on this street, and for them, all of them are customers.

"Zhou Chen, you are a great contributor to our Xingzhou!"

On this day, the person in charge of Xingzhou Culture and Tourism, accompanied by a group of leaders, personally came to Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant to meet Zhou Chen.

The person in charge, Zhao Quanmin, held Zhou Chen's hands tightly with excitement.

Xingzhou was originally a tourist city, but due to some reasons, the tourism industry has been in a slump in the past two years. As the person in charge of this area, he is also very troubled.

When he saw the traffic jam near the Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant that day, he suddenly had an idea and thought of using this opportunity to let outsiders experience their Xingzhou life.

What should we do if we want to keep outsiders here?

Naturally, we need to provide them with various conveniences so that they can feel like home. As long as they stay, they can't eat barbecue every day, right?

They can travel to other places in Xingzhou. In this way, wouldn’t the tourism and economy of the entire Xingzhou be boosted?

At the beginning, Zhao Quanmin was just trying his best to save the company, but he didn't expect that after all his efforts, he actually made the company come back to life!

You see, at first there were only barbecues at night, but now, even during the day, the street is crowded, so much so that he can't even find a time to see Zhou Chen.

But if you don’t watch it, it’s not good either.

After much hesitation, Zhao Quanmin finally came to Zhou Chen's Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant in person.

This person is a great contributor to their Xingzhou, and they must express their condolences.

"No, no, I'm from Xingzhou, I just did what I should do..."

Seeing such a grand ceremony, Zhou Chen was a little flattered.

After all, at the beginning, I just wanted to help my mother-in-law find a stable job environment and invest in it. Who would have thought that in just half a month, it would develop into this...

Chapter 180: Holding a concert? Why not be bolder?

Under the gazes of countless people, Zhou Chen had no choice but to take Zhao Quanmin and other leaders to the private room in the barbecue restaurant after comforting the masses.

Yes, no one comes to the temple for no reason.

The reason why Zhao Quanmin made such a big fuss today was that he had a new idea and wanted to cooperate with Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, I'll be honest with you."

Zhao Quanmin looked at Zhou Chen and said straight to the point,

"Now, because of your influence, not only this barbecue street, but also the entire Xingzhou's tourism, catering and accommodation have been boosted. So, I want to take advantage of the current popularity and continue to expand it."

The tourism industry was in a slump some time ago, and now that this opportunity has finally come, Zhao Quanmin naturally wants to make a difference.

But he also understood that relying solely on the current trend could only retain people for a short period of time. Zhou Chen was now on summer vacation. Once he went to Beijing in September, wouldn't this place become deserted?

But with Zhou Chen gone, he can invite more internet celebrities and stars.

I hope to follow a path of sustainable development.

"concert?"

After listening to Zhao Quanmin's plan, Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the other party meant.

This is to continue to attract foreign tourists to visit Xingzhou.

However, even a concert can only retain people temporarily. After the heat is over, it will cool down again.

But Zhao Quanmin gave Zhou Chen inspiration.

"Leader Zhao, I have a more daring plan."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Quanmin and said,

"How about this? Ji Linlin and I will be the main guests at this concert. Ji Linlin is about to release a new song, so why not take this opportunity to spread the word."

"Only you and Ji Linlin? This..."

Zhao Quanmin didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant.

Just relying on two stars is not enough to have an influence.

But Zhou Chen smiled and said,

"I wrote the lyrics for Ji Linlin's new songs. If they become popular, can I also write lyrics for other singers? From now on, anyone who wants to sing with me must sing in Xingzhou for a month. Leader Zhao, what do you think?"

That's right.

Zhou Chen wants to tie down some popular singers for a long time by writing songs.

The barbecue restaurant business is booming now, but I have to go to Beijing after all, and I can't let Lu Qiao and Zhou Lixuan go with me.

This barbecue restaurant relies entirely on its own traffic. Once I leave, I don’t know how deserted it will be.

And if celebrities could come here every month to eat and sing with everyone, we could create a long-term internet celebrity check-in spot. In this way, there would be no need to worry about traffic!

Moreover, after doing this, my songwriting ability can also greatly expand its influence.

"This...this...is wonderful, really wonderful!"

Zhao Quanmin was stunned at first, then he thought of something and suddenly realized.

If we follow our own plan, we can only last until September or October at best, and after that it will be too late to recover. The key point is that inviting those celebrities will require a lot of expenses.

But if I follow Zhou Chen's method, it will greatly reduce my costs, and I can also replace new stars every month. This... is much more interesting than my own idea!

As for Zhou Chen’s creative ability?

He wasn't worried.

All the songs created by Zhou Chen are very popular nowadays, and with Ji Linlin’s singing ability, they are bound to cause a new sensation.

"Okay, then follow your plan. Contact us if you need anything, and we'll fully cooperate!"

Zhao Quanmin immediately nodded in agreement, and after exchanging contact information with Zhou Chen, he took everyone away.

This trip was not in vain!

“This guy’s lyrics are so good, aren’t they?”

at the same time.

In a recording studio in Xingzhou City, Ji Linlin, who had just finished recording, played back the song she sang. She couldn't help but nodded secretly with a smug look on her face.

And beside her, there were several music teachers helping her to revise her music.

Yes, Zhou Chen had written three songs for her some time ago. Recently, after collaborating with several music teachers to polish the songs, the music has basically been completed.

Not to mention, the moving melody, combined with Zhou Chen's lyrics and her unique voice, the beauty of the music is simply amazing!

Ji Linlin has a strong intuition that if these three songs are released, they will definitely not be worse than "My Dream"!

"Teacher Ji, I have to say that Zhou Chen's lyrics are really amazing."

"Yeah, this kid just doesn't know how to compose music. In fact, he already has a sense of music. According to his requirements, the music he composed is more suitable for this song!"
