The top stream also wants to inherit the family business

The day before New Year's Eve, Xu Zhuo called back and said that the work in Maple Leaf Country had not been completed and he would not be able to come back for the New Year.

When Li Zian answered the phone, the family was walking in the courtyard. Li Qingyan saw that the smile on her mother's face faded, and after she hung up, she asked, "Mom, who's calling?"

"Your father." Li Zian resumed his previous smile, and didn't seem to care: "He said he won't come back after the New Year, and there are still many things to deal with over there."

Mr. Li frowned: "Just let him go to the laboratory for inspection. One week is enough, so what's the matter? Jin Yun, ask the person in charge of the branch what's going on."

"Let's forget it." Li Zian stopped him and said, "Brother Zhuo will come back every year if he can go home. This time, it may really be that the branch office has something to delay."

"Just protect him." Mr. Li lost his mood and went back to the house first.

Li Qingyan asked Jin Yun: "Uncle Jin, is there something wrong with the new energy laboratory in Maple Leaf Country?"

Jin Yun: "There is no problem with the project, but there are some small surprises in terms of funding."

Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jin Linlin, and got the answer from Jin Linlin's eyes.

"Grandpa asked my dad to investigate the direction of the funds?"

"Professionals will naturally investigate the direction of funds." Jin Yun smiled gently, and said lightly: "Mr. Xu used to be a special agent of the head office to supervise the whole process and ensure fairness."

Li Qingyan tilted his head slightly, hiding the smile in his eyes.

He had to admit that ginger was still hot.

In the second half of the walk, Li Zi'an was absent-minded, and Li Qingyan and Jin Linlin exchanged glances from time to time, feeling restless, and soon went back to their rooms.

After returning to the room, Li Qingyan called Zhou Li'an and asked him to keep an eye on several places and people.

Zhou Li'an agreed readily, and asked curiously, "Who are these people?"

"My father's mistress, his mistress' younger brother, and his two illegitimate children."

Zhou Li'an cursed, the microphone was silent for a moment, and seemed to change the subject casually: "Just now I suddenly want to eat Uncle Huang's beef noodles, why don't you tell Uncle Huang for me, I will come to your house right away."

Li Qingyan: "Are you in your family's ancestral hall now? Run out at this time, it's not shameful to lose an arm or a leg for Chinese New Year tomorrow."

"It's not that bad. At most, I will have a bruised nose and a swollen face. I'm used to it, young master." Mr. Zhou said arrogantly, "Don't tell me, Mr. Zhou has made some achievements in fitness a while ago. Before he chased me, he went from the first floor to the third floor. It's enough for him to do it twice, but now he can do more than a dozen back and forth, I really doubt that his fitness is just for me."

Li Qingyan: "Be more confident, get rid of doubts, and add some typing."

Zhou Li'an snorted, 100% confident: "It's not necessary, he can't hit him anyway."

The two exchanged a few words, and before hanging up the phone, Zhou Li'an asked, "Are you really planning to go out for a drink or two?"

Li Qingyan smiled lightly: "No need, I just found out about this, I have already prepared for it, don't worry."

"Okay, call if you need something."

Li Qingyan looked out the window, the breeze blew by, there was the coldness of winter, but also the warmth that spread to all limbs and bones.

In Xu Zhuo's absence, the Li family unexpectedly had a warm and lively year.

The three grandparents of the Li family, Jin Yun's father and son, and Aunt Wu made dumplings together. Each person had two dishes, and they made a good New Year's Eve dinner. The whole New Year was full of laughter.

As soon as the eighth day is over, the recording of top idols follows.Before leaving home, Li Qingyan was so reluctant for the first time. He sat until Mr. Li became impatient, and then set off for the airport under Wu Ting's urging.

The recording location was in Mangshi. Li Qingyan arrived at the hotel reserved by the program team one day in advance to familiarize himself with the program process and check the script with the director.

"This season is a bit different from the previous season. With the support of new technology, after the voting channel is opened, we will select the five most popular trainees to interact with the holographic projections of fans every week, and then Mr. Li, you will also need to practice with them. together with the fans.”

Wu Ting looked at the director: "Every week?"

Director: "Teacher Li and other instructors are five people in total. Each time, two instructors accompany the trainees to participate in the holographic interaction. They come in rotation. We will adjust the time according to the schedule of each teacher."

"Okay." Li Qingyan flipped through the process: "The trainees will go to the studio at six o'clock tomorrow morning to do makeup and hair?"

"There are too many trainees, and we already have enough makeup artists, but all the makeup and hair will take at least five or six hours, and we need to reserve some time in case of unexpected situations." The director smiled at Li Qingyan: "But Mr. Li You just need to come to the studio at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and we will start the official recording at two o'clock."

"Then this is the information of other tutors, you can take a look first." The director got up and said, "That's basically it. Mr. Li, if you and Mr. Wu have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Wu Ting and Li Qingyan stood up, "Thank you."

After the director left, Wu Tingfan looked at the flow chart and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I only knew that trainees were tired before, but I didn't expect that participating in the audition would be even more tiring."

The flow chart given by the program group is only tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, that is, the stage recording of the initial rating. The trainees will go to the studio at six o'clock in the morning to make up and do hairstyles, and wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to start recording. If all goes well, they can record until three o'clock in the morning. In the end, if it doesn't go well, it will be a big night.

Waiting for a long time is the most tormenting, and Li Qingyan has a deep understanding of this.

"Tomorrow, you'll have someone send you some light breakfast, and then buy some fruits, try to keep your calories low for digestion." Li Qingyan thought for a while: "And prepare some sugar to prevent someone from hypoglycemia."

"OK." Wu Ting sent a message to order to go down casually, put down the phone, glanced at the player's profile from the corner of the eye, and sighed: "It's a pity that He Qing signed the company."

Li Qingyan was watching the election video, and when he heard the words, he hummed casually without raising his head.

Wu Ting snapped his fingers in front of him, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"Didn't you say that you are a good seedling? If you can see it, of course others can see it too." Li Qingyan said a few perfunctory words, then pushed his hand away: "Don't disturb my work."

Wu Ting shrugged, since he didn't have a chance, he didn't bother anymore, and got up: "I'll go and see how your clothes are getting ready for tomorrow, you can go to bed early later."

On February 2, Top Idol started recording.

The recording studio in the hotel provided by the program group was very close. Li Qingyan went to the studio after lunch. Before going to the lounge with the coordinating director, he visited Lan Qin who was earlier than him.

This is not the first time Li Qingyan and Lan Qin have met. Lan Qin sang the episode in the movie "King the King" where he won the Newcomer Award, and Zhang Zhe, the actor who played the role of the emperor in the movie, was Lan Qin's husband. During the filming, Zhang Zhe did not hesitate to teach Li Qingyan a lot of acting knowledge. It can be said that without Zhang Zhe, the possibility of Li Qingyan winning the Best Newcomer Award would be greatly reduced.

"Master." Li Qingyan knocked on the door with a fruit salad, and called out with a smile.

"Come on." Lan Qin was doing her hairstyle, and waved to him in the mirror: "Come in, what are you holding?"

"They are all your favorite fruits." Li Qingyan sat down beside her, opened the fruit box, and put it in front of her: "How is the teacher?"

"He, as usual, watering flowers and planting trees at home." Lan Qin said with a smile: "But before I came, your teacher specifically asked me to remind you in advance that I would rather talk less than talk on the show." Wrong word."

Li Qingyan bent her eyes: "Thank you teacher and teacher's wife."

After finishing her hair, Lan Qin looked at herself in the mirror, then turned to Li Qingyan and asked, "How is it?"

Li Qingyan stared at it for two seconds: "It is very beautiful, especially with your skirt today, it is noble and elegant."

Lan Qin's assistant covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Lan, it seems that you and Mr. Zhang don't have to worry."

Lan Qin also smiled: "I also told Teacher Zhang not to worry."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant opened the door and said, "It's Teacher Lou."

The door opened, and a slender and petite girl with deer eyes and peach cheeks came in. She was obviously surprised when she saw Li Qingyan, and she paused for a moment before bowing: "Hello, Teacher Lan, Hello, Teacher Li, I am Lou Yulu Loulou. It's my first time meeting you. Nice to meet two teachers."

Li Qingyan got up: "Hello."

Lan Qin smiled softly, "Is that Lou Lou? The name is as cute as yours, please sit down."

There was only one chair next to Lanqin, and Lou Yulu looked at Li Qingyan hesitantly. Li Qingyan made a gesture of invitation, moved another chair from the hanger and placed it on the other side of Lanqin.

The two sat on both sides of Lanqin, one left and one right. Lou Yulu was lively and talkative. From Lanqin's last album to Zhang Zhe and Li Qingyan's "The King", the topic jumped without interruption. Don't be cold.

Half an hour before the recording officially started, the three of them went to the backstage of the recording hall together.

Except for Li Qingyan, the other four instructors have stage performances. The first two are the dance instructor Yu Zimeng and the rap instructor Isaac. Yu Zimeng has already gone behind the curtain to prepare for the stage. , made a simple self-introduction.

Not long after, the cheers and bustle outside came up through the elevator and the first floor.

Lan Qin recalled: "I haven't heard such cheers for a long time."

Lou Yulu held her wrist: "You can hear it when you come on stage~"

Li Qingyan confirmed the work with Wu Ting on WeChat, and when he looked up in the gap, he caught a glimpse of Isaac taking a deep breath, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The cheers outside reached the highest point, and the director opened the curtain to come in and remind Isaac to prepare.

Isaac wiped off the sweat from his brow casually. Just as he was about to go in, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder. When he looked back, he was stunned, and subconsciously touched the fist behind him. Rapper classic gesture.

The director of the process knocked on the door again and urged: "Mr. Isaac, you can get ready to go on stage."

Isaac kept up with the director, and only realized it belatedly when he raised his leg. Most of the tension dissipated, and he made a salute gesture coolly: "Thank you, brother."

The door of the backstage preparation room was closed, and Lou Yulu asked, "Mr. Li, did you know Mr. Isaac before?"

Li Qingyan looked away: "I don't know."

"Really? I saw you just now—" Lou Yulu made a gesture of fist bumping: "It looks like a friend I've known for a long time."

The door was opened again, and a young man wearing a peaked cap walked in, greeted Lanqin and Lou Yulu, then sat down next to Li Qingyan, took off his hat and threw it away, panting while wiping his sweat: "Hurry up!" I have a bottle of water."

Before Li Qingyan handed over the water, he grabbed Ton Ton and drank most of the bottle in one go. After drinking it, he let out a long sigh of relief and shook his sweaty hair: "It's cool!"

With water hitting his face, Li Qingyan's smile faltered, and with a lift of his long legs, Yu Zimeng's stool slid two meters away: "Stay away from me."

Yu Zimeng bent down to pick up the hat that had just been thrown here, put it on his head, raised his chin to look at Li Qingyan: "Didn't eat?"

Li Qingyan smirked: "I'll kick you on the stage, believe it or not?"

Lan Qin: "You two knew each other before?"

Yu Zimeng pushed his feet hard, and the stool slid back again. When answering Lan Qin's question, he took off his hat, and his expression and tone were very cute: "Yes, we both knew each other before our debut."

Lan Qin guessed something just after hearing what they said, but she didn't expect it to be so early, and couldn't help being curious: "How do you know each other?"

Yu Zimeng: "When I was a trainee in Koryo, Mr. Li got lost outside alone. The people around him couldn't understand English, and he couldn't speak Korean. I happened to bump into him, so I sent him back. out of the hotel."

This encounter is definitely one of the black histories that Li Qingyan doesn't want to recall the most. Fortunately, Zimeng is still a brother, and the most twisted and funny part of it was not mentioned.

Li Qingyan suddenly felt a little remorse, he should have kicked his stool more lightly just now.Just two seconds after the regret was brewing, Yu Zimeng suddenly laughed and continued: "But the funniest part is not here...fuck!"

Yu Zimeng had already slid from one end of the room to the other, and stopped when he bumped into a clothes hanger. He got up and asked Li Qingyan to settle the score. He was bound to tell Lan Qin, not just Lan Qin, about this dark history. Qin, all the staff in this background need to know!

"Mr. Lan, you don't know that Li Qingyan..."

"Teacher Lan, it's your turn to prepare." The process director interrupted him.Lan Qin smiled and said to Zi Meng: "I'm going on stage first."

Yu Zimeng's words got stuck on his lips, so he could only watch Lan Qin leave.

Li Qing raised his chin towards the stage: "Why don't you catch up and get a microphone?"

A staff member who watched the excitement didn't think it was a big deal, and booed, "Teacher Yu, you can tell us."

Yu Zimeng really lived up to expectations: "Li Qingyan is a road idiot. The hotel he lives in is only two streets away from the place where he got lost. I took him there and he insisted on telling me it wasn't that way. The journey in less than 5 minutes was passed by. He walked for half an hour, do you think it's funny?"

Li Qingyan sneered: "In order to thank you, I invite you to eat hot pot, and you don't give up while eating. In the end, I couldn't speak the language and was forced to go to the anorectal department to register for you. Is it funny?"

This time, the crew honestly burst into laughter.

Yu Zimeng became furious and rushed over to kick Li Qingyan's stool. Li Qingyan moved the stool to hide, and the staff burst into laughter.

The director's appearance stopped the two elementary school chickens from fighting in time.

"Mr. Li and Mr. Yu, we are ready to play together."

Li Qingyan and Yu Zimeng stopped at the same time, looked at each other and sneered at the same time. When the other mentors appeared, they had already put their shoulders on each other, showing a good business attitude as brothers.
