The longed-for village system

Chapter 162 Departure Midway
"She is indeed a professional singer; she sang very well."

Chen Qing naturally praised her without reservation, adding that Liu Xijun's singing was indeed excellent; as expected of an early competitor, her skills were quite strong.

"Thank you."

Liu Xijun was very happy to receive Chen Qing's praise. This was the first step in her request for a song, to leave a good impression on Chen Qing, showing that she was a talented singer.

"Nongnong, why don't you sing one too!"

"Then I'll sing 'A Bright Future'!"

This song was the wrap-up song for the movie "Spring River Flower Moon Night". It was sung by him and Li Xian and is considered one of his representative works.

He shared the same idea as Liu Xijun: he wanted to get in touch with Chen Qing. If he could get Chen Qing's approval, it would be easier to invite her to sing songs later. Naturally, he would sing his own representative works when he performed.

After singing a section, Chen Linong turned his gaze to Chen Qing, wanting to hear his evaluation.

"That's great! It seems there are many talented singers in the new generation of our music scene! Keep up the good work!"

It's never wrong to be polite. Although Chen Linong's singing still has some flaws and his emotional control is still a bit lacking, these are things that can be improved through learning later. After all, he is still young and it is impossible to expect him to be perfect.

If it weren't for his system, he wouldn't be able to compare with them. So we should be more tolerant and give young people more encouragement and confidence.

"Xiao Chen, stop acting all old-fashioned. You're only a little older than Nongnong. You're both talented singers of the new generation. The future of the music scene depends on you."

Teacher He responded to Chen Qing's words, expressing his helplessness at Chen Qing's continued exclusion of himself from the entertainment industry. He said that being a celebrity is a high status these days! Why is he so resistant?

Moreover, he believes that Chen Qing's future development is the main focus. Liu Xijun and Chen Linong may have a good future, but at most they can only have a place in the music scene and cannot change the direction of its development.

But Chen Qing is different. He has such talent and ability, and if he is willing to believe, he can achieve an extraordinary status in less than ten years.

"Teacher He, this is different. I'm just a bystander, they are the professionals, so we still need to rely on their hard work and encouragement. I'll just stand by and applaud!"

The key is to develop in a low-key manner. He is not strong enough as he is now, and the conditions do not allow it.

"Sigh! Forget it, I can't persuade you anymore."

Teacher He compromised immediately. He knew Chen Qing's personality; if he said he wouldn't go out, he definitely wouldn't. Now, the only person who could probably persuade him was Zhao Xiaogu.

After picking dragon fruit, the group returned to the Mushroom House. Chen Qing checked the time, asked Teacher Huang about lunchtime, and then prepared to leave for a while. He still needed to go to the hotel at noon to give Zhu Xun and Li Yong acupuncture treatment.

"Teacher Huang, Teacher He, I'll go out for a bit. If I haven't come back by the time the food is ready, you can eat first," Chen Qing said to the two of them.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang naturally understood why Chen Qing was leaving at this time, so they both nodded in response.

"Okay, it'll take me about an hour. Xiao Chen, you go ahead! We'll eat when you get back."

"Be careful on the road, and give our regards." Chen Qing nodded, turned around, went into the room to tidy up a bit, and left the Mushroom House, heading towards the inn.

"Teacher He, Teacher Huang, don't we need to go with them? What's Xiao Chen doing there?"

Old Wang was puzzled when he saw the two teachers stopping the VJ from filming. What could Chen Qing possibly have that prevented them from filming? It was also strange that he suddenly left halfway through the recording; Chen Qing had never done that before.

Not only were Lao Wang and his group puzzled, but the fans in the live stream were also very curious about it.

"Where is Brother Chen going? He seems so secretive. Is he planning something big again?"

"Teacher He and Teacher Huang must know. Teacher He even asked Brother Chen to give them their greetings. Are they going to meet someone?"

"Could it be that Brother Chen's parents have come looking for him?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild, upstairs. I've already said that Brother Chen lost both his parents when he was young. He wasn't abandoned by his parents, so why would they come looking for him? He must have gone to see some important person. I'm guessing it's some leader."

"Your thinking is pretty sharp too! Although the landlord has been making quite a fuss lately, it hasn't come to the point of meeting him yet."

"It's a pity that Teacher He and Teacher Huang didn't let the VJ follow along to film, otherwise we could have found out who it was."

Teacher Huang did not respond to Lao Wang's question and continued his work, while Teacher He gave a meaningful smile and said, "No need to follow him. This is Xiao Chen's private matter. He has other things to do in the village!"

Chen Qing's help in treating Li Yong and Zhu Xun's cancer couldn't be told to everyone. Besides promising Chen Qing, it was also for Chen Qing's safety. Although he wanted Chen Qing to become more and more famous, he still wanted to do things step by step.

Old Wang felt he might have made a mistake, but since Teacher He and Teacher Huang had both said so, they could only cooperate. He dared not offend any of them, especially Chen Qing, whom he was even more unwilling to offend.

Offending Teacher He and Teacher Huang might only make them unhappy, but they won't stop filming. However, Chen Qing might. Right now, he's thinking about how to renew his contract with Chen Qing! The contract they signed before was only for 12 episodes.

Chen Qing was unaware of the situation in the live stream room and the Mushroom House. Upon arriving at the hotel, he continued to provide acupuncture treatment to the two as usual, and then gave them instructions afterward.

"You two can finish the first phase of treatment today. So far, the effect seems to be very good, and it has met my expectations. Next is the second phase. Have you prepared all the medicinal materials I asked you to prepare before?"

Zhu Xun and her husband nodded, and Zhu Xun replied, "We are ready. As you instructed, I prepared extra. Would you like to take a look?"

Wang Zhi immediately got up and left the room when he saw Chen Qing nod. They had prepared these medicinal herbs a few days ago. Originally, they still had some doubts about Chen Qing, but seeing the change in Li Yong and his wife, he took the medicinal herbs that Chen Qing mentioned very seriously.

When Chen Qing asked, Ha Wen in the room replied, "Little Chen, our medicinal herbs will take two more days. I've already asked my daughter to fetch that century-old wild ginseng."

Chen Qing nodded. Li Yong's collection of medicinal herbs was much more difficult than Zhu Xun's, especially this century-old wild ginseng, which was impossible to obtain in this era without connections.

“Okay, then we’ll change it once we have all the herbs! Just continue drinking the previous herbs for the next couple of days.” Chen Qing said to Ha Wen, then took the herbs from Wang Zhi and opened them to look at them. “The herbs are fine. Tomorrow, prepare a large wooden bath tub. In addition to the internal medication, you should also take a medicinal bath.”
