Chapter 121 Who can not fall
How can one ask for help with nothing?
Sun Tao understands the truth, but he has no practical experience. Counting his past and present lives for a total of 40 years, he has neither given nor received gifts. (This is probably one of the reasons why he thinks his talent is underappreciated.)
His parents were both honest farmers who were never embarrassed to ask for help. Even his son followed suit. He knew that he should have a relationship with the leaders but he just couldn't do it. This is probably the last stubbornness of ordinary people. Stubborn.
When I started Didi, I met many "talkative people", and I whispered many experiences to Sun Tao...
……
Sun Tao shook his head, "You're kidding, you are my leader no matter what, and you can even give me gifts."
Tian Rui glanced at Qin Boya, this is still your leader.
Li Xiaojun smiled slightly, "Even if you don't want to develop your career, don't make the relationship too tense. The best way is to hide the needle in the thick of things. You should verbally agree to whatever you are asked to do, and they will stop looking for you if you break the pot twice. This time You see, if Principal Zhang really wants to be a judge, don’t be too embarrassed, I can let him do it twice.”
Sun Tao waved his hand quickly, "..."
Li Xiaojun continued before he could say anything, "I'm not doing it for you. Unlike you, I don't dare to be tough with others. My yoga studio is still under the supervision of the General Section of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Let Li Ping owe me a favor, hehehe , also very good.”
Having said that, Sun Tao knew very well that if Li Xiaojun's yoga studio could open in Wu'an, it would be impossible for her to do so without a backstage, and there was no way she would be afraid of Li Ping.
Tian Rui smiled leisurely and said, "I can do it too, but there are conditions for me to give up to the judges."
Qin Boya stretched out his hand and pinched her leg, "Hey, now you're talking about the conditions. Can't it be your turn to be judged by us two? You little bitch, you won't recognize anyone if you fall out, right?"
< br>
Tian Rui smiled and hugged Qin Boya, "I'll treat you to a place of your choice, Sun Tao, I don't owe him anything."
Li Xiaojun raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Tao with a half-smile.
Sun Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "What are the conditions? Let me tell you."
When Guo Haoyu sang "Northeast Folk Songs", Tian Rui dressed in a red dress and danced with the secretary. The influence was not just as simple as stunning the audience. The song and dance has been replayed countless times on Wu'an TV. Secretary Guo only has singing voice. The whole picture is given to Tian Rui.
Chief Tian is now firmly the number one person in the Wu'an dance world. His popularity and influence have long surpassed those of seniors such as Gao Shan and Li Xiaojun.
Tian Rui chuckled, "I can stop being a judge, but you have to give me another chance to appear... You and I can study the specific time for my appearance..."
To study further means to communicate in depth again.
Sun Tao couldn't help but think of those two smart long legs and flexible waist. As long as she asked for something, everyone could trade with confidence.
Sun Tao nodded very seriously, "Well, let me think about it..."
"Hahaha" "Pfft"
When Tian Rui just said that he could study it further, Sun Tao swallowed his saliva, and this subtle expression was accurately captured by the two women.
Now that he was still being serious, both Qin Boya and Li Xiaojun laughed.
……
After chatting for more than half an hour, Li Xiaojun and Tian Rui left, but there was no silence afterwards. Colleagues came over one after another to inquire about Sun Tao’s signing with Maitian Music...
After get off work, Sun Tao ordered a pickled cabbage-filled dumpling from the dumpling restaurant at the entrance of Jianguo Community. They cost 8 yuan for 20 pieces, with thin skin and big filling.
Food and color are also important, and eating is the first priority. Of the 20 dumplings, 5 were eaten with empty mouths, 5 were dipped in vinegar, 5 were dipped in soy sauce, and 5 were dipped in garlic sauce. Sun Tao ate heartily.
Sun Tao watched a video in which the blogger laughed at the screenwriter for his lack of common sense. The billionaire in the TV series did not eat delicacies but actually liked to eat at roadside stalls.
In fact, this is because bloggers have no common sense. People's tastes do not change with status and economic conditions. When Wang Jianlin was the richest man, his favorite food was still chive boxes. Sun Tao thinks that even if he became the richest man, his favorite food would still be sauerkraut. The stuffed dumplings, well, they might be leek stuffed dumplings, or they might be braised large intestine or grilled skewers, but they definitely wouldn't be lobster, shark's fin, or geoduck.
——
Six o'clock in the evening, Jianguo Community, Building 8, Unit 2, 302.
"Bang Bang Bang" three knocks on the door sounded, and Li Ping arrived as promised.
She's not alone, and she certainly doesn't come empty-handed.
The three of them were all wearing down jackets, Li Ping was the shortest, and the one who followed her in was indeed Zhang Guoqing. Finally, there was a girl who was probably Zhang Guoqing's daughter, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Sun Tao was a little happy to see Zhang Guoqing. Sun Tao felt that he was really here for the review. By asking Zhang Guoqing to replace Tian Rui, Sun Tao would have a reason to have an in-depth exchange with Tian Rui...
Sun Tao was a little confused when he saw the girl.
Sun Tao: [Why did you bring your daughter here? It’s not like Manager Qin said, you really want to introduce someone to me! Although this girl is very beautiful, I am a celebrity now and can't mess around anymore. well! 】
……
All thoughts flashed through him in an instant. When he saw who was coming, Sun Tao immediately called in, "Hey, section chief, come in quickly." Li Ping said, "Would you like to change your shoes?"
"No, no, come in and sit down."
"I'm really sorry for coming so presumptuously." Although we had agreed on the phone, we still wanted to say some polite words.
Sun Tao smiled and said, "Nothing presumptuous. As a single man, I still hope to have friends who can come over often... Hey, section chief, what are you doing? Come on, why are you still taking things!"
Two bottles of wine and three cartons of cigarettes.
Cigarettes and alcohol, these are common meeting gifts and stepping stones; this is not considered a gift, but is used to build relationships. If you really want to do things, these things will definitely not be enough.
Sun Tao said no, but his hand naturally took the plastic bag handed over by Li Ping.
Li Ping, "Hahaha, I didn't bring this. This is what Principal Zhang meant... This is..."
Sun Tao put the plastic bag aside and stretched out his hand, "Principal Zhang, I know him, the founder of Boya Art School and a big entrepreneur in Wu'an."
Zhang Guoqing and Sun Tao shook hands warmly, "You are a big bullshit entrepreneur who makes a living while paving the way for children with artistic talent."
A few people exchanged pleasantries and then entered the living room.
It's cold outside and it's cold inside. Wu'an's central heating won't start until November 3.
There are only two wicker chairs in the living room.
Sun Tao asked Li Ping and Zhang Guoqing to sit down, then he went into the second bedroom and brought in two folding stools.
The little girl was very good at things. She followed Sun Tao when he went to get the stool. Even though the stool was very light, she insisted on taking it. The girl never took off her down jacket, but her features were picturesque, her fingers were slender, and she was 100% beautiful.
Coming out of the second bedroom, Sun Tao glanced at the two plastic bags. Damn it, he thought they were ordinary tobacco and alcohol, but what came up was Maotai and Huazi.
……
After another refusal, Sun Tao and Li Ping sat on the wicker chairs, while Zhang Guoqing and his "daughter" sat on the folding stools.
After some chattering, Li Ping introduced the work of the Cultural Bureau, and Zhang Guoqing introduced the living conditions of the art school, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of crying about poverty, the little girl just listened silently.
After the two complimented Sun Tao again, Li Ping was about to leave.
Li Ping, "Hahaha, I came here today just to set up a connection. Let's talk. I have to go back."
After all, she was the section chief of the Cultural Bureau and Sun Tao's nominal leader. There were some things she couldn't say in the presence of others. After testing Sun Tao's tone, she felt that it was okay and she would leave.
Sun Tao and the other three sent Li Ping away and returned to the living room before they started talking about things for real. Zhang Guoqing also formally introduced the girl to Sun Tao.
The girl's name is Li Qinglei, she is a student of Boya Art School, and she is not Zhang Guoqing's daughter.
It seemed like he had heard the name Li Qinglei somewhere. Before Sun Tao could think about it, the little girl had already stood up, bowed and stretched out her hand, and Sun Tao could only shake her hand.
"Teacher Sun, I am the top 100 contestant of Li Qinglei's Wu'an Talent Show." The little girl was still very proud.
Oh, after listening to her introduction, Sun Tao suddenly remembered: Li Qinglei, 17 years old, an art school student; when Du Juan came to ask for help, Sun Tao checked the top 100 list, and the youngest among the women was this Li Qinglei.
"Oh, you're the one who sings health songs, hahaha. I even watched your performance during the audition. You sang and danced, and I thought you were a junior high school student."
Li Qinglei, the name and the person finally matched up at this moment.
Sun Tao looked at the girl carefully.
The girl is very strange. She looks like a different person after changing her clothes. She looked like a tomboy on the stage and is now very ladylike.
……
Sun Tao and Zhang Guoqing sat on the wicker chairs, but Li Qinglei did not sit down. She lowered her hands and stood behind Zhang Guoqing.
Sun Tao, "Principal Zhang, I already understand your purpose. I will discuss with the leader about being a reviewer..."
Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "Programmer Sun, you misunderstood. I'm not here to be a judge."
