Chapter 1669: Arrival
The main location for this outdoor shooting was in Sanya. After a large group of people got on the bus, two buses full of passengers drove towards the hotel they had booked in advance.
"I used to hear people say that the economy here in Qiongzhou is very backward and there are unfinished buildings everywhere. But now it seems that is not the case at all. Even if the development here is not as good as that of coastal cities, it is not much worse."
A female contestant sitting next to Wu Qinqin was traveling for the first time and was very excited.
"The tourism industry here is very developed. My family and I came here once the year before last year. The urban construction at that time was a little worse than it is now."
Wu Qinqin's eyes were filled with emotion.
When she traveled to Qiongzhou two years ago, she was still the little princess of the Wu family who was favored by her family. Her parents' marriage was quite harmonious.
Unexpectedly, when I visited Qiongzhou again, things and people had changed. My brother suffered severe psychological trauma, and my parents' marriage also came to an end. With my grandfather's retirement, the Wu family had lost its glory.
"Qinqin, do you feel that the big boss treats you differently?"
The female contestant sitting next to Wu Qinqin asked in a tentative tone.
"Why do you say that?"
Wu Qinqin was slightly shocked, but it didn't show on her face.
After experiencing so many ups and downs, the previously innocent little girl also learned to hide her emotions.
"For the acid attack last time, the big boss rewarded you 100,000 yuan, while the others only received 5,000 yuan. I also saw the big boss talking to you alone several times."
The female player spoke with deep envy.
"Maybe he thought I was the only one who stood up. After all, if a serious accident happened, the loss would be far more than 100,000."
Wu Qinqin smiled noncommittally.
"Qinqin, I have to tell you about this. You are so kind. You saved Xiao Xiaoxuan's life that time. But look at her, she is still lukewarm towards you, loves you and ignores you. This
He’s just a green tea guy who wants to be on top, it’s disgusting!”
The female contestant turned the topic to Xiao Xiaoxuan, who was in the second row in front.
"She thanked me privately."
Wu Qinqin glanced at the gossiping woman next to her, pretended to be tired, and closed her eyes.
Before coming to participate in the semi-finals, Zhao Yanhua told her to be more thoughtful. This singer talent show is a miniature version of Vanity Fair. Everyone is in a competitive relationship with each other. There is no tenderness, only intrigue.
Along the way, what I saw and heard was indeed true. For example, the tenth-ranked round-faced female player next to me seemed to have a friendly smile and no scheming. In fact, every word she spoke was either inquiring into her privacy or provoking.
alienation.
She suddenly understood Jiang Hua's idea of not letting her take this path. She was still more suitable to be a dancer, using her hard work off the stage in exchange for the honor on stage.
In fact, Xiao Xiaoxuan heard the subsequent conversation. If it were in the past, she would definitely stand up and have a big fight with contestant No. 10.
However, after Jiang Hua talked to her last time, she realized a lot, as if she had been enlightened and opened up the Ren and Du channels.
Although she is still the same person, still keen on chasing fame and fortune, her means and methods have changed. She has learned to tolerate it, has become better at pretending, and is working hard to evolve to the high-end tea rank that Jiang Hua calls her.
As the bus passed through the city, she counted silently. There were at least three hotels with the Shuangjiang Group logo in the city, and they were all high-end hotels starting from four stars.
This means that Shuangjiang Group has absolute dominance in the hotel area and in Qiongzhou.
This discovery made her heart beat faster. She originally thought that Jianghua's industry was limited to one province. But now it seems that she was too naive. The industry this guy showed in the provincial capital was just the tip of the iceberg.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Qin Qing, who was sitting next to her. She wondered in her mind how much the seed player Jiang Hua favored knew about her boss's strength, and what the relationship between the two was like. Is it pure?
An employment relationship or a lover relationship?
Qin Qing's thoughts were not that complicated. She was holding a music sheet in her hand and was practicing a new song that she was not familiar with.
For her, Jiang Hua pulled her out of the mud pit and saved her mother's life. No matter what Jiang Hua asked her to do, she would work hard to do it.
"Qin Qing, let's discuss something."
Xiao Xiaoxuan suddenly spoke.
"What's going on?"
Qin Qing raised his head and looked at her calmly.
She actually doesn't like Xiao Xiaoxuan very much. Strictly speaking, all the contestants who entered the semi-finals don't like this person.
However, since the sulfuric acid incident, Xiao Xiaoxuan has become much more honest and no longer behaves like a monster. This has made Qin Qing's sense of her slightly improved.
"If you book a double room, how about I share a room with you?"
Xiao Xiaoxuan looked at Qin Qing with expectation in his eyes and said.
"Why?"
Qin Qing asked in a cold tone.
Maybe it's because she's learning guzheng, but her personality is a bit cold, and coupled with the rumors about her job placement, she's not very popular among the contestants.
"I heard that you signed up for Beluga Live in advance. If nothing else happens, I will also sign up for this platform. From now on, we will be colleagues. Let's just cultivate our relationship in advance."
Xiao Xiaoxuan said with a smile.
Qin Qing frowned. She didn't like to play tricks on others. The olive branch Xiao Xiaoxuan suddenly handed over made her confused.
"Director Jiang's background is much bigger than we imagined. Although I don't know much about live broadcasting, I believe it is a platform that can change our destiny. Supporting each other is always better than fighting alone, isn't it?"
After Xiao Xiaoxuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to Qin Qing.
Qin Qing hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Xiaoxuan's hand, and said softly: "I hate trouble. As long as you don't plot against me, I will treat you as a friend."
"Don't worry, I was too stupid before, and I will work hard to grow into a better version of myself in the future."
Xiao Xiaoxuan’s tone was sincere.
The entire conversation between the two was watched by Gan Tiantian. As the team leader, Jiang Hua also gave her a separate task before leaving, which was to observe the potential of these shortlisted contestants and provide them with knowledge in daily life.
Scores for words and deeds.
Xiao Xiaoxuan is the person Jiang Hua specially told to focus on, so most of Gan Tiantian's attention is focused on her.
She took out a small notebook, silently recorded some things, put the small notebook back into her bag, then folded her arms and leaned on the back of the chair to fall asleep.
Three hours later, two buses stopped at a luxuriously renovated resort hotel next to Sanya Beach.
“Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!”
“It’s simply a paradise on earth.”
"It's worth it. Even if you don't make it to the finals, it's still a worthwhile trip."
