anchors

Look familiar! "Chen Qinqin suddenly remembered that she always thought Li Yixiao looked very familiar, so she saw it in that Weibo.

Li Yixiao was startled, it's over, this is the rhythm of going out!He immediately answered: "Auntie! My hobby is making small videos! I mentioned this to Han Mai, so he secretly forwarded it to me using his Weibo account! I didn't even know he was a big V." , he usually keeps a low profile!"

Chen Qinqin smiled relievedly: "So that's the case. Han Mai, this is your fault. How could you hide it from your good friend? Does Master know?"

Li Shishi's brain was spinning fast, and he felt that he should help Han Maiyuan, so he smiled shyly: "Auntie, Han Mai didn't hide it from me, but he didn't let me tell others... It's my fault, help him hide it together Looking at my friends. Auntie, don't worry, I will supervise Han Mai in the future, so that he must be honest with his friends."

Look at how well this is said, the boss is the boss.Li Yixiao nodded frequently, Li Shishi took the initiative to take the blame, but who would blame him?

"What a nice girl." Chen Qinqin said to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng nodded aside, obviously very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.

Finally, the round was over, and the actors were already sweating profusely.

At this time, the food started to be served, and the waiters came in one after another, but every waiter who came in would stare hard at several people, showing Han Mai, then Li Shishi, and then Qiu Ning, looking around, with a smile on his face. with a strange smile.

What's the matter with the waiter in this store?

The few people were puzzled for a while, and the curious Chen Qinqin couldn't help it anymore. She grabbed a guy and asked, "You've been staring at my son, what are you looking at?"

The young man had endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't take it any longer. He took a few steps forward and took Han Mai's hand, and shouted affectionately, "Brother Han! Is that you, brother! I watch your live broadcast every day! No Thinking that you will come to our restaurant for dinner, I told my colleagues, everyone is so excited, they all want to ask for your autograph! I... I... We... We all think that your Mai is the best!! !"

Another waitress couldn't help it anymore: "Ahhhhhh, I saw an idol, Qiu Ning, you are right! Your new song "I'm Like You" is really good! I downloaded it to The alarm clock is ringing in the phone. And you, you are Li Shishi! You...you...you really can't tell that you are dressed as a woman! A big man is prettier than a woman, I...I don't Be a woman!"

It’s over.

It's all over.

In the silence, Xia Tianyu complained faintly: "Does no one know me?"

Li Yixiao also quietly comforted him: "Isn't there no one who knows me?"

The two unknown anchors looked at each other and sighed sadly.

"If you want to sign, can you wait until we finish eating?" Qiu Ning stood up and said politely to several waiters.

Although he was polite, he had an unquestionable attitude, and his aura was astonishing.

The waiters looked at each other and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, we will serve right away!"

Saying that, they backed out and closed the door.

Qiu Ning just sat down. Seeing that this matter could not be concealed, she smiled apologetically at Chen Qinqin and Han Cheng: "Let Han Mai explain these things by himself."

Chen Qinqin looked at Han Mai blankly.

Han Mai covered his face and started to choke: "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long... Actually, I'm not a teacher at all, I'm an anchor, the kind who calls Mai..."

The couple stared blankly at their son, as if they didn't understand what he was saying.

Oops, the two couples were hit too hard.Li Yixiao thought painfully, now Han Mai will be abused by domestic violence!Maybe Han Mai's mother will also resort to family law, slap his ass, beat him until he cries, and confesses his mistake on his knees!Then ordered him to learn how to repair a car!

Xia Tianyu also looked terrified: It's over, it's over now, Han Mai will definitely be beaten up by his father, and he can't get out of bed for three days!Then assign him a foolish wife with a generous dowry and order him to get married immediately!

Qiu Ning's face was very calm, but her heart was very melancholy: It's too bad, Han Mai will definitely be taken back by the family to inherit the family business. From then on, she will marry a well-matched woman, endure the oppressive and suffocating family atmosphere, and never have freedom and dreams again!

Master Li showed his iconic trouble-making smile: Ah, excited and excited, eat melons and melons!I am so happy!

"Son, you said you were an anchor?" Chen Qinqin looked at him in disbelief.

Han Mai lowered his head, mentally prepared to be criticized.

"Ah, it's so interesting! Your dad and I often watch live broadcasts on Twitch!" Chen Qinqin said excitedly.

But this excitement seems to be different from what everyone imagined.

The few people hadn't recovered yet, they looked at Chen Qinqin blankly, as if they didn't understand what she was saying.

Han Cheng coughed a few times, and said seriously, "Han Mai, do you know where you went wrong?"

Han Mai lowered his head in shame: "I was wrong, I shouldn't be an anchor..."

Han Cheng's expression became more serious: "It's wrong! You're wrong because you shouldn't have lied to your parents!"

Han Mai let out an "ah" in a daze.

Chen Qinqin, Han Mai's mother, could not hide the excitement on her face: "Son, what is shouting Mai? Do you sing? That's very good. It's very consistent with your specialty. Mommy supports you very much! Good morning! You should tell your parents! We have no objections! Come on, tell mom which website you live on, and mom will watch it! I will definitely support you!"

Wait, this seems to be different from the direction of the script. Shouldn't he be strongly opposed to making his son change careers quickly?

Why does this mother seem very happy!

"I... you... really have no objection?" Han Mai asked confusedly.

Chen Qinqin said angrily and funnyly: "Why do you think we will object? Since you were young, except when you were ignorant, which time have I rudely interfered with your thoughts? My child, do what he likes, No matter whether he can make a career or not, I, as a mother, of course have to support you. As long as you are doing meaningful things and bringing excellent works to others, why should we oppose it?"

"Don't you think...isn't this a serious job?" Han Mai asked.

Professor Han Cheng pushed the glasses on his face: "What is a serious occupation? In this world, there are only legal and illegal occupations, and there is no distinction between serious and unscrupulous occupations. The anchor is a new industry, neither steal nor rob. It’s illegal, and it doesn’t violate public order and good customs, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"This profession is eliminated very quickly." Han Mai said in a low voice.

As a professor of sociology, Han Cheng looked more serious. He said solemnly: "There is no profession that will never be eliminated. Now is the 21st century, the era of artificial intelligence has come, and the social structure of human beings will change. Huge changes. What you think are excellent occupations: civil servants, teachers, doctors, translators... These will gradually be replaced by artificial intelligence. You live in an era of drastic changes, and there is no occupation that can keep you engaged for life. People in the past, Learning a craft such as carpentry and blacksmithing can make a living on it for the rest of your life, but future human beings will never have such a situation. As productivity increases exponentially, there will be many "useless classes" in this society. They don't engage in production, because all the production work they can do is replaced by machines, and their time is filled with entertainment to kill them, so we have to provide enough entertainment to enrich their lives, I hope you can provide some high-quality programs , this is a very meaningful thing.”

Li Yixiao was stunned for a moment, feeling that he suddenly came to a university campus that he had never been to before.

Chen Qinqin looked at her son Han Mai tenderly, and said, "My Xiaoxiaozi, compared to a well-behaved and obedient child who never disobeys his parents, Mommy hopes that you can become a man who can take responsibility for your own life. No matter where you come No matter where you are, how old you are, and no matter what occupation you are in, Mommy hopes that you can be a meaningful person to society. Of course, the most important thing is that you want to be happy."

Han Mai never expected that his parents would say such things to him.

They have never been the kind of parents who care about their children. They each have their own careers and pursuits.From childhood to adulthood, he spent more than half of his time in China, living with his grandparents and grandparents, and only went to the United States during winter and summer vacations to meet his parents for a short time.

His parents firmly believed that basic education in China was more suitable for their children, so Han Mai did not really come to the United States to study abroad until university.

Because of the short time spent together, he once felt that his parents didn't love him or understand him.He thought that they, like most parents, would let their children make what they thought was the "right" choice.

But they are not, they are the most enlightened parents in the world, they encourage their children to engage in the career they like, and they don’t care about the prejudice of others on this career, what they care about is whether his job is meaningful, and he Are you happy.

Han Mai's eyes were moist, he lowered his head, tried hard to resist the urge to cry, just because of what his parents said.

"Since you were a child, you were a child who was different from others. You showed your musical talent very early, follow me. When you were still in Mommy's stomach, you would kick my stomach with music. At that time, I said , you will become a musician. Your father doesn’t believe it, saying that you will definitely be like him in the future and engage in sociology. Oh, your father is always very interested in the living conditions of various marginalized people in society, and always does some dangerous things. He called it experiencing life. I couldn’t stand him when I was young, but now, I gradually understand him.” Chen Qinqin looked at her husband with tender eyes.

Han Cheng said helplessly to his wife: "I didn't ask my son to study sociology. He said he liked music when he was a child, and I also supported it!"

Chen Qinqin put her hand on Han Cheng's, and said with a smile: "Isn't that because my son likes music? You can't hold him back. Do you remember when he was seven years old, he came to the United States to participate in a music summer camp during the summer vacation, and stayed at The administrator is an African-American single mother with a son who likes the piano very much, but the family can’t afford a piano, so he secretly went to play the piano in the classroom. The administrator found out and kicked him out. Xiaoxiaozi saw it and insisted that it was him My friend, he wanted to teach him to play the piano. Then Xiao Xiaozi really taught him to play the piano, begging the teacher to take him to learn together, and said that he would give the piano at home to others, and then I asked someone to give the piano to him. It's over."

Han Mai said in shock, "Is this how my piano disappeared when I was young?"

Chen Qinqin smiled and bent her eyebrows: "Yeah, did you forget? You can give it away if you still say it. You can learn the violin, but you must give the piano to those who really need it. At that time, I thought , my child will definitely become an excellent person in the future, no matter what occupation he will pursue in the future, as long as his heart does not change, I will definitely be proud of him. Because you are such a good child."

Han Mai couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, like when he was a child, snuggling into his mother's arms, tears wet Chen Qinqin's shoulders: "Dad, Mom, thank you... Thank you, can understand me."

Chen Qinqin embraced Han Mai, pulled Han Cheng, and said comfortingly: "Understanding and guiding your children, isn't this what parents should do?"

Li Yixiao couldn't help showing envious eyes, Han Mai's parents are really amazing.

Chapter 30 [Shocking, the real identity of the big brother in society is...] 06┃The new goal of the big brother in society!

After the warm family time, the three finally returned to normal, and time entered the "torture mode".

"I have a question. Is Shishi a boy? I don't quite believe it, but that's what the waiter said just now." Chen Qinqin looked at Li Shishi and asked hesitantly.

Li Shishi saw that he had been exposed, and that Han Mai's parents were also enlightened people, so he confessed happily in a male voice: "Yes, uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, I lied to you just now. I'm actually a boy."

Chen Qinqin gasped, exchanged glances with Han Cheng, and the two closed their eyes in pain.

"Son, your father and I have never thought about you being gay...But we are not rigid people, as long as you really love each other...We...we have no objection!" Chen Qinqin tried not to hurt her son's tone Said.

"I object!" Han Cheng said with a cold snort.

Finally someone showed a normal reaction!Li Yixiao actually felt a little excited.

I only heard Han Cheng say: "Han Mai's dating with men wearing women's clothing means that he probably still likes the opposite sex, so he is not necessarily gay. You have to figure out your sexual orientation first, don't wait until one day you find yourself Not liking men, just liking men who look like women, and that can do a lot of damage to other people."

So honest!At this time, instead of breaking his son's legs, he still has to worry about whether his son has hurt a transvestite. Where can I find such enlightened parents!

Han Mai finally came to his senses, and said in shock, "No! I'm not! Master Li just pretended to be my girlfriend! We're not dating!"

Li Shishi also hurriedly said: "No! I'm not! Although I wear women's clothes, I'm really not gay!"

Li Yixiao let out a gleeful laugh: This scene is really familiar, it seems to have happened to him not long ago.

It's so much fun when it happens to someone else!

Master Li, the bastard, you have a day too!

After Han Mai and Li Shishi tried their best to clarify, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Han Cheng and Chen Qinqin finally turned their attention to other places.

"So, how many of you here are anchors?" Chen Qinqin asked with a smile, looking at everyone curiously.

"Yes." Han Mai said.

There was another one who pretended to be a waiter and ran away just now...it was also an anchor.I don't know where I went.

"What's your stage name? Mommy, let's see what you're broadcasting live." Chen Qinqin said.

Han Mai strongly objected, determined not to let his parents know, but he couldn't stop the bad-hearted pig teammates behind him, so he sold him out on the spot.

"Uncle and aunt, Han Mai is live broadcasting on Tiger Fish, and the ID told Lao Han not to be a big brother for many years." Li Shishi, who specializes in selling teammates, said loudly.

Han Mai cast murderous eyes on him, wishing to execute this man in court.

At this moment, Li Yixiao seemed to see four huge words on Han Mai's head - public execution!

It's a shame to PLAY!

It was too late, Chen Qinqin had found Han Mai's Huyu live broadcast room, and watched his previous carousel content with relish.

The mobile phone was released to the public, so the song "I hate getting too drunk after drinking on the battlefield" just floated into the ears of everyone.

Ah, back then when he didn't know that Mai Han was a cultured person, Li Yixiao only felt that the lyrics were really embarrassing. Now that he knew that Mai was a returnee who graduated from the Berklee College of Music, the lyrics were more than embarrassing.

It was embarrassing to the sky.

Berkeley wanted to expel the alumnus after hearing this.

"Brother Han, what are you doing?" Li Yixiao was surprised to see Han Mai squatting under the chair and poking the floor with his hand.

"Don't stop me, dig a hole." Han Mai said sullenly.

Li Shishi giggled non-stop, as if he had never seen such a fun thing in his life.

After shouting Mai, Han Mai's parents silently looked at the son on the phone who was dressed like a reform-through-labor prisoner who had just been released. Wearing a big gold chain with free shipping for eight yuan and eight, he looks like a social youth.

What's wrong with our education? It was written on the face of Han Mai's parents.

In the end, it was Han Mai himself who broke the silence: "Parents, you can say something, you can say anything, I accept, I reflect, and I repent. Even if you express your opposition to my career now, I can understand."

Chen Qinqin looked at her son sadly, and sighed softly: "Hey, I didn't expect you, you have regressed to this point."

"Ah?" Han Mai didn't respond.

Chen Qinqin covered her mouth and said sadly: "The song you wrote has regressed to this point! I don't care about the melody or anything else, but the lyrics you wrote are empty and just for shouting. Who is your audience? Did you sing to them? This kind of song, I don't recognize it as music! It's nothing more than melodic-sounding noise!"

"Auntie is very strict." Xia Tianyu whispered to Li Yixiao.

Li Yixiao felt sorry for Qi Ran: "Let's behave like a musician."

"Han Mai, your father and I don't care what song you write, nor who you write it for. Whether it's Yangchun Baixue or Xialiba people, music has its meaning. But from your shouting Mai, I can't hear it. Your true emotions, who do you want to sing for, who do you want to make a voice for, you didn't tell me in your music, you just sang a song perfunctorily, it's not as good as when you were three years old and sang and said you wanted to When you want to buy a toy, you are sincere." There was no smile on Chen Qinqin's face anymore.

The same is true for Han Mai. At this moment, he is like a student who failed the exam, unable to hold his head up in front of the teacher.

Han Mai's father, Han Cheng, also said: "I can roughly guess that the audience of your music is a lower-level group. But the audience level does not determine whether the music is great. Black rap is also the trend of American teenagers, and it is equally popular. It has a unique charm. This kind of charm, I can't feel it in your music."

Han Mai was silent for a long time.

"Do you know what kind of life those people who listen to your songs live?" Chen Qinqin asked.

Han Mai shook his head.

Chen Qinqin and Han Cheng looked at each other, and both of them understood clearly.

"Then go get to know them. Go to work, make friends with them, experience their lives, listen to their voices, they are just as troubled by life as you are, and have joys, sorrows and joys, but that is a life you don't know As Chen Qinqin said, she tilted her head and looked at her husband Han Cheng, "When your father was young, he worked as an undercover agent for drug dealers in order to conduct social investigations, and contacted a large number of marginalized groups. It was that experience that allowed him to write his graduation thesis. .”

Han Cheng coughed a few times: "If it weren't for that thesis, I wouldn't even be able to graduate with a Ph.D."

Chen Qinqin looked at him tenderly, smiling like a young girl.

Han Mai suddenly realized.

The fog that had been covering his eyes for a long time was suddenly cleared away, and he suddenly saw the road ahead clearly.

"Do you like being a host called Mai?" Chen Qinqin asked.

Han Mai nodded.

"Why?" Chen Qinqin asked again.

"Because...they like me. My fans are all my brothers, and they treat me like a brother. Most of them don't make a lot of money, but they still try their best to send me gifts and tell me about life, because They think... I am their big brother. As a big brother, I should guide my younger brother in a good direction, just like you guided me when I was a child. I have an obligation to help them, guide them, and not let them go astray, I also want to bring them better music enjoyment. I should...sing their inner voice!" Following his statement, the road ahead of Han Mai became clearer and clearer, and he had already seen the people walking on that road. People, those ordinary and not ordinary people, live ordinary and not ordinary lives.

It was a life he had never known before.

"Go try it, get to know those who like you, I believe you will sing the song in their hearts." Chen Qinqin smiled and encouraged.

Han Mai nodded heavily, with the flame of faith burning in his eyes.

&&&

Jin Feng, who has been lingering outside the restaurant starving and freezing: When will they end?

Forget it, let's start another game and eat chicken.

&&&

The meeting with Han Mai's parents was over. After sending them to the hotel, Han Mai slumped on the sofa in the living room of the villa and said softly, "This is the most tiring birthday I've ever had in my life."

But it was also the most valuable birthday he ever had.

Li Yixiao comforted him: "Anyway, uncle and aunt still recognize you."

"No, what my parents mean is that I have to write at least one shouting song that they are satisfied with before they will recognize me. Now they are still waiting and watching." Han Mai said.

"Then what do you want to do?" Li Yixiao asked.

Han Mai lay paralyzed on the sofa for a while, and Ge You finally straightened up and said, "I've decided, I'm going to work!"

Xia Tianyu spat out hot water: "Part-time job? Are you going to assemble mobile phones on the assembly line? Let me tell you, that's boring!"

Big girl, you exposed again!

"No, no, I didn't plan to do that. I wanted to go to the bar to serve dishes, or to deliver food, in short, to do something I haven't done before." Han Mai said, and suddenly stood up from the sofa excitedly , "Yeah, I should have done it earlier! My mom is right, I don't know my fans at all, what they do, I don't know, what they like, I don't know what they want to hear , I rely entirely on nonsense. If this continues, I will be eliminated sooner or later! I should get to know them better! How about this, I will work in a bar at night and deliver food during the day..."

"I have a question, do you still remember that you are an anchor?" Li Yixiao raised his hand and asked, "So when will you broadcast live?"

Han Mai thought, this is also the case, he has to live broadcast at a fixed time at night, if he works day and night, how can he maintain the duration of the live broadcast?

"Well, I suggest that you go to work in the bar on the night of your weekly rest, and you can deliver food during the day. I have delivered food before, and I am very good at it. I can teach you all the skills of a gold medal deliveryman! During the typhoon that year , I used a kayak to deliver food and even appeared on the local news!" Li Yi said triumphantly.

Several people were stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

Li Yixiao nodded and said: "Of course, do you think it's easy to deliver food now? Helping customers take away the garbage is the most basic operation. How do you tell the customer if the order is late, and he will agree to let you order delivery in advance Arrive? The location of the customer’s home is inaccurate, and you haven’t found it after searching for a long time. How can you ask for the route in a concise and concise manner? The customer asks you to pick up something for him, should you buy it or not? You need several mobile phones and batteries to maximize your efficiency. Taking orders? Where do you go to rest during the time when there are no orders at noon, and how do you maintain a friendly relationship when you meet colleagues? Do you think it is easy to deliver food? Let me tell you, food delivery is a quack, and even asking for five-star praise is difficult. It is a very deep skill, and ordinary people will ignore the request."

Several people were stunned when they heard this, Qiu Ning said: "I only eat takeaway food, I never thought that there is such a great knowledge here."

"That's right, this is a practical position that combines sociology, psychology, statistics, etc. If you don't have a little research spirit, you can't be a gold medal deliveryman." Li Yixiao said seriously.

"Then...then how should I start?" Han Mai asked.

"First of all, install a food delivery app, register as a delivery person, fill in your personal information, pass the online and offline assessment, and then you can start after buying a battery car, an incubator, etc. You can learn while doing it, and instill it in one breath. You, you can't remember either." Li Yixiao said.

Han Mai seemed to understand, and smiled gratefully at Li Yi: "Brother, thank you! I will definitely be a qualified delivery person!"

"Come on, look after you!" Li Yixiao waved his hand encouragingly.Smiling and watching a big brother jump into the pit.Takeaway is not easy to deliver.

Han Mai, a returnee musician who graduated from the Berkeley Conservatory of Music, didn't want to make music well, so he went to broadcast live to call Mai.

Now, he has even become a delivery man.

It can be said that returnee musicians who don't want to be the anchor of Shouting Mai are not good delivery people.

Life is so wonderful.
