Chapter 416 Lin Yujiao competes
“What TV show are you on?”
Chen Feng is really curious.
Lin Yujiao smiled sheepishly before replying: "It's a singing talent show - a good voice. Last month, the program team happened to be auditioning at the People's Square in Lushi, so I hugged I went to participate with the attitude of giving it a try. Who knew that I was selected in a daze, passed the regional competition, and entered the first round? Formal competition.”
The variety show Good Voice is still very well-known and has been held for several years. Although the influence and ratings of this show have been declining in recent years, the number of viewers is still high. There are still many, and with the help of this talent show, there are still many contestants who can become popular.
Chen Feng knew that Lin Yujiao's singing skills were very high from the beginning, but he really didn't expect that she would actually participate in a TV talent show, and it would also be a program called "Good Voice" with high national recognition.
Chen Feng was neither disgusted nor opposed to her decision. He just reminded her: "Are you ready to become famous?"
"Although my singing skills are not bad, but I am still self-aware. After all, I have not studied professionally and systematically, so I am not as good as those professional singing contestants who are able to come here now. I will be very satisfied and happy to participate in the first round of official competition in Xiuzhou. When I am eliminated in the first round, the most people who know me will talk about it after dinner, and other people will not pay much attention to me. "
Lin Yujiao obviously does not have enough confidence in this competition, or she does not have much ambition to win or lose. Her mentality is better. It truly achieves the spirit of "participation is the most important".
"What if you pass the first round? Your popularity will definitely increase by then, and you will become a celebrity in the future."
Lin Yujiao thought for a while and said: "I haven't seriously considered this, but if you only pass the first two rounds of competition, your popularity will be relatively limited. At most, it will only be popular in our Lu City for a period of time, a month or two. After that, not many people will remember this show for several years. Apart from the top contestants in the previous seasons, those who followed are not very famous, and it is difficult for me to be in the top ten, and it is impossible to become a real celebrity."
This is what Chen Feng said. I somewhat agree that with so many talent shows in China, not many people can really become popular, and even fewer can stay popular for a long time. Compared to those who were eliminated without success, it was like digging for gold in the sand.
And those who become famous through the draft usually have a financial sponsor or a contract company behind them. Otherwise, you, a pure vegetarian who has no one to rely on and no one to support, want to achieve good results. In terms of performance, advancing to the top places is purely based on one's own personal strength, and the difficulty is comparable to winning the jackpot in the lottery.
These talent shows have a lot of secrets behind them, and the hidden rules are almost semi-public. It would be too naive to believe that the rules of such programs are completely open, fair and just.
"Just be mentally prepared. No matter what, after you appeared on this show and appeared on TV, you became a celebrity in our area, even if it was only for a short time, then you The rhythm of your life will be disrupted. Maybe your personal privacy will be exposed, including your ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law, your divorce, and even the things between you and me.”
What Chen Feng is worried about is that after she becomes famous, her affairs with herself will also be exposed.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have another woman. When it is exposed, it will at most mean that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. But the problem is that he has other women now. To the outside world, he is also the boyfriend of Wu Mengting, Sun Xiaorui, Guo Mengyao, Jin Xinyan, and Liu Ying. Their parents all know it. If it is exposed on TV that he is Lin Yujiao boyfriend, that would be a disaster for him.
"Then... what should I do? Do you object to my participation?"
Lin Yujiao looked worried and unwilling.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I know you are reluctant to give up now. But you also know our situation. It would be very bad for me if I was exposed on TV as your boyfriend. . So, we can only choose to break up temporarily, at least to your parents, if you want to say that, just say that I objected to your participation in Good Voice, and we had a big fight, and you are now divorced and single. .”
Chen Feng knew that Lin Yujiao could not give up this opportunity to appear on TV, but he certainly could not have his relationship with her exposed, so it was necessary to cut it off now.
Lin Yujiao looked at Chen Feng with an embarrassed look on her face: "This...my parents regard you as my fiancé. Now that we suddenly break up, they will definitely be very angry. They are very angry with you. I am very satisfied. I will definitely be forced to withdraw from the competition, apologize to you and reconcile with you."
Chen Feng said in a casual tone: "Then you say we are now. In the cold war, please wait until the TV competition is over before you can reconcile with me."
Lin Yujiao frowned and said with some resentment: "Originally, I wanted you to be a member of my family and friends group. Those who cheered me up on the spot can also appear on TV, but it seems that is no longer possible."
Chen Fengxin said: You have a good idea.
If it was announced on TV that he was her boyfriend, wouldn't that be an official announcement?
In fact, Lin Yujiao was just one of the women he kept, and she was definitely not his real girlfriend.
Of course, this was just a thought in his mind. Chen Feng said in a relaxed tone: "It would be best if you invite your family members to the group of relatives and friends. There is no need to invite me."
Lin Yujiao There was silence for a moment, obviously there was some emotion in his heart.
It’s no wonder. Originally, this was something to be happy about, and she also hoped to get support from Chen Feng. As a result, Chen Feng wanted to draw a clear line with her.
If she didn't develop feelings and dependence on Chen Feng, she wouldn't care much even if Chen Feng "breaks up" with her directly now.
But now she has long considered Chen Feng as her boyfriend. Even though she knows that Chen Feng faked breaking up with her, she feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stepped forward and reached out to hug her into his arms, comforting: "Don't worry, we are just pretending to break up to let your parents and other insiders know that we broke up. From now on, Even if you are famous, your relationship with me will not be exposed. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial to you or me. ?”
“I’ve said it before, I can’t really be famous. I’m very self-aware. I’m not very well-educated, I’m a bit old, I’m from a grassroots background, and I want to be successful. It is almost impossible for your voice to go far on this stage."
Lin Yujiao obviously does not want to "break up" with Chen Feng.
"Don't worry. At worst, we can get back together after your game is over."
As Chen Feng said this, he rubbed his hand on her back dishonestly, and Lin Yujiao's face slowly turned red.
At noon, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao had dinner at a nearby Western restaurant, and then they went back to the East Lake Villa to watch TV and chat. They also discussed the competition process of Good Voice, various instructors and other issues. .
It wasn't until after three o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Feng sent her to a five-star hotel very close to Donghai TV Station.
Lin Yujiao is now considered a wealthy woman. She can afford to stay in a five-star hotel without Chen Feng paying for her.
The reason why she was not allowed to stay in the hotel was to make it easier for her to go to the TV station to record the program, and also to keep her relationship with Chen Feng a secret.
The official recording of the program will begin tomorrow afternoon, and there will be accompanying photographers filming her. Of course, the East Lake Villa is not easy to be photographed on the show.
Chen Feng was not very interested in the show Good Voice. It was so popular during the first season that he watched a few episodes, but then he never watched it again.
Because Lin Yujiao was competing this time, he planned to take a look. But it will definitely take some time until it is officially aired.
Chen Feng is not in a hurry about this. After returning to Villa No. 8, Chen Feng put the matter behind him for the time being.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Sun Xiaorui came back on time, and Chen Feng sent a WeChat message to Wu Mengting, who had not come back yet, asking when she would be back.
Wu Mengting said that she would be filming night scenes and might be late when she came back, so she would have dinner on the set without waiting for her.
Of course Chen Feng didn't wait for her when he saw this, and he and Sun Xiaorui quickly had dinner together.
Sun Xiaorui put away the dishes and washed the dishes in the kitchen, while Chen Feng sat in the living room with a cup of tea, drinking tea while scrolling through his mobile phone.
It was a very pleasant day.
Just after he viewed a short video twice of a mistress being beaten and stripped by her original partner in the street, he got a call.
When he saw that the number was Xiao Ya, whom he had not contacted for a long time, he hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Chen Feng, the landlord just came to me and said that he wanted to increase the rent. What do you think we should do?"
Xiao Ya told him the matter very directly.
"How much?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.
As for the milk tea shop in partnership with Xiao Ya, he had previously left it to Wu Mengting, and asked Wu Mengting to contact Xiao Ya. Now Xiao Ya bypassed Wu Mengting to contact him, which can't be said to be wrong. After all, she told Wu Mengting that she couldn't make a decision.
"Said it was going to be increased by 3,000. He obviously saw that our store was doing well and took the opportunity to blackmail." Xiao Ya said angrily.
The monthly increase of 3,000 yuan is an extra 36,000 yuan in rent per year. It is indeed too much. This is obviously an attempt to evict people.
“When will the rental contract we signed with him expire?”
"There are still more than two months."
"Then there is no problem. You can find another store."
"Doesn't it have to be renovated?" Xiao Ya raised his eyebrows He said in a loud voice, "The renovation cost is at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan."
"Then what do you think we should do? Do you agree with the landlord to increase the rent?" Chen Feng asked angrily.
Xiao Ya softened her tone and said, "I know you have many options. Why don't you make an appointment with the landlord to meet him tomorrow and have a good talk with him so that he can reduce the increase."
Although the milk tea shop can be regarded as Chen Feng's business, he really doesn't want to argue with the landlord about raising the rent. First of all, he is lazy, and the milk tea shop business is not a big deal. Secondly, he understands that the landlord is responsible for such things. If you are deliberately extorting or even evicting people, trying to reason and negotiate with such a landlord is a complete waste of time. Besides, how much less can you get if you let him have less money? What's the point of missing one or two hundred?
"How much less can I get if the increase is less? He will definitely not be willing to lose one or two thousand. There is no point in losing one or two hundred. In addition, I think he is deliberately trying to drive people away. Or there are other milk teas nearby. The store wants to squeeze you out, or he or his relatives and friends also like this position and want to open a milk tea shop.
So, let’s just move out when the contract expires. Fortunately, there are still more than two months. During this time, you can slowly find a better store and renovate it. Aren’t you making a lot of money in the milk tea shop now?”
After Chen Feng finished speaking, Xiao Ya was silent for a while.
“If there is nothing else, let’s just say this. Just find another store.”
After Chen Feng said this, when there was still no response, he hung up the phone.
In fact, if he hadn't taken care of Xiao Ya, he wouldn't have invested in the milk tea shop she opened. Moreover, the relationship between him and her has already been severed, and he does not want to have any more deep relationship with her, which will not be involved.
After all, he has too many women in long-term relationships now, and he doesn’t want to increase the number, or even reduce it.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Mengting suddenly called him and informed him that something happened at the milk tea shop.
Xiao Ya beat up the landlord and his wife. They are now at the police station and asked him to come over.
Chen Feng was speechless after being surprised. Ordinarily Xiao Ya is not an impulsive person, but she actually beats someone, and the person she beat was the landlord, which is really inappropriate.
When asked what happened to Wu Mengting, Wu Mengting was not very clear. She just received a call for help from Xiao Ya, saying that she had called the landlord and his wife and asked her to help hire a lawyer. When asked why she beat the person, she just said that the landlord deliberately raised the rent to evict the person, had an arrogant attitude, and couldn't help but beat him.
What else can Chen Feng say? It feels like he is at fault here. He was the one who said last night that the landlord might be evicting people on purpose, or taking money from other nearby milk tea shops, or himself or his relatives. My friend also took a fancy to the milk tea business and wanted to open his own shop to do this business.
Today Xiao Ya probably questioned the landlord and his wife face to face, which made them angry. Then the other party made rude remarks, and Xiao Ya beat them when she got excited.
The facts are similar to what Chen Feng guessed. Today, the landlord and his wife came to the store again to see Xiao Ya. They first talked about the rent increase. After bargaining with them to no avail, Xiao Ya could only express angrily that her contract had expired. Just move away.
Then, the landlord and his wife proposed to terminate the rental contract early and said that they could refund the remaining rent to Xiao Ya.
Of course Xiao Ya was unwilling, so she was so angry that she questioned them and asked Chen Feng's previous guesses to their faces.
The male landlord is a well-off man and didn’t say anything, but the landlady directly revealed that they were indeed interested in the prosperous business of their milk tea shop and wanted to use it to open their own shop. They also wanted to take back their own shop. I took it back, what can you do to me? He also made some discriminatory remarks about her being a foreigner.
Of course this made Xiao Ya very angry. She picked up a pack of napkins on the table and threw it at the landlady.
Of course the landlady could not swallow her anger. She came forward and started fighting with Xiao Ya. As a result, Xiao Ya pushed her to the ground and rubbed her. The male landlady came up and pulled and hugged Xiao Ya. It was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of her. Xiao Ya also received a burst of violent output, a slap in the face, and a kick in the crotch.
When the male landlord made another move, the two clerks in the milk tea shop also hurriedly came over to intervene, which really caused some physical pain to the landlord and his wife. Then someone called the police and the police came.
