The longed-for village system

Chapter 15 Rejection again
"Thank you, my performance is over. How was it? My new song is great, right? I wrote the lyrics and composed the music myself."

The crowd nodded perfunctorily at Cai's boasting, then immediately changed the subject. They didn't want to waste any more time on the topic or hear anything else about the song.

"Xiao Chen, how about you sing one too?" Huang Sanshi said, wanting to cleanse his ears.

Zhao Xiaogu joined in the commotion, her beautiful big eyes smiling as she looked at Chen Qing. She also wanted to hear this landlord's singing; even if it was bad, it certainly wouldn't be worse than Cai's.

Chen Qing was still thinking about how to express himself appropriately when the package was automatically thrown to him, so he naturally accepted it.

"Okay! Then I'll sing a new song too! 'My Future Is Not a Dream' is dedicated to everyone who has dreams and is pursuing their dreams."

Are you like me bowing my head in the sun?
Working silently and diligently while sweating.

Are you like me, experiencing indifference?
Don't give up on the life you want

As Chen Qing played the electronic keyboard and sang the lyrics, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement, especially this short passage which described his own life!
Are you like me, always busy pursuing...?
Seeking an unexpected gentleness
Are you as lost and confused as I once was?
Wandering at the crossroads time and time again
No one can have a smooth journey in pursuing their dreams. There will definitely be setbacks and confusion, just like the lyrics say, where people hesitate at the crossroads of their dreams, wondering which direction to take.

They care about the consequences of their choices, are concerned about the opinions and views of others, and too many factors hinder their decisions.

Because I don't care what others say.

I have never forgotten myself
A promise to oneself
Devotion to love
I know my future is not a dream.
I live each minute to the fullest.
My future is not a dream

My heart beats with hope.
Moving with hope
Listening to the powerful electronic sound of the chorus, Zhao Xiaogu, Zhang Zifeng, and Peng Peng swayed slightly like fangirls and fanboys, while Huang Sanshi and He Jiong were also deeply surprised by Ouyang Chenqing's song.

It's not just good, it's incredibly good; it's a rare and inspiring song.

The lyrics and melody are both impeccable. As expected, their landlord is a real gem. It also proves the saying on the internet: true masters are found among ordinary people, while clowns are in the halls of fame.

"so hot!"

After watching Chen Qing finish his performance, Zhao Xiaogu inexplicably felt that this ordinary-looking landlord was unusually handsome at this moment, and even felt that there was starlight on him. She couldn't help but sigh.

No one was surprised by her sentiments, because Peng Peng was already excitedly shouting "Cool! Handsome!" and even started asking Chen Qing to sing a song for him.

"It still sounds just as good as ever. I bet a lot of people want to ask you for songs by now," Huang Sanshi said to Chen Qing while clapping.

"An Ordinary Day," "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields," and the song he's currently singing, "My Future Is Not a Dream," are all high-quality songs. Many singers in the industry would definitely want to commission songs from him if he had these three. "Xiao Chen, would you be interested in appearing on 'Happy Camp'? Our theme for next episode is 'Dreams,' and your song fits our theme perfectly," He Jiong said after a moment's thought.

Although it's not in accordance with the rules to invite a guest at the last minute, as the top host of Hunan TV, he naturally has this right. Moreover, he has a high opinion of Ouyang Chenqing's character, and he is willing to help such a talented and virtuous young man if he can.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the special mission. You are rewarded with the special skill of bone setting. Friendly reminder: the beautiful lady in front of you has an injury that you can heal."

Chen Qing didn't take the system's friendly reminder to heart. If it was the same as in his previous life, then Zhao Xiaogu did indeed have a hidden injury on her back, which was said to have been caused by falling off a horse while filming a horseback scene. This bone-setting skill was just right to treat her hidden ailment.

However, this was obviously unlikely. He and Zhao Xiaogu were at most acquaintances. Asking her to take off her clothes and massage her back would be considered indecent. He ignored the system's prompt and began to respond to Teacher He's invitation.

"Thank you for the invitation, Teacher He, but the fruit in the village needs to be picked, so I have to help out."

Normally, he should be cursing the system as usual at this time. If it weren't for the system's constraints, he would have already left the village to enjoy himself. Now he can only find an excuse to refuse Teacher He's invitation.

Tens of thousands of yuan are gone again, but at least I gained a bone-setting skill, so it's barely a loss.

Teacher He couldn't refuse the reason given by Chen Qing; for farmers, the harvest is of utmost importance.

"Okay! Then let's go on the show again next time we have the chance."

"Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."

Cai was puzzled by Chen Qing's rejection. He knew that He Jiong was the top host on Hunan TV. If they could build a good relationship with him, they wouldn't have to worry about not getting any shows.

How much is such a small harvest worth? To actually refuse He Jiong's invitation—this farmer is truly short-sighted! Why didn't this opportunity fall into his lap?
"Teacher He, I'll be free next week. I wonder if I'll be able to appear on your show."

When Cai offered her initiative, He Jiong changed the subject, saying, "I just remembered that the guest list for next week's show is already full. If there's a chance, I'll talk to the director and the others about it."

He's already gotten so much angry criticism from netizens for his show "Back to Field" that he's flooded social media with angry comments. He doesn't want "Happy Camp" to be the same way, so he'd better avoid it if possible.

Cai was clearly surprised that Teacher He had rejected his offer. As a top celebrity, shouldn't he be overjoyed to have Teacher He invited him? Why did the farmer refuse his invitation?

They're all a bunch of clueless people. I really don't understand why the company would let him join a show like this.
