The longed-for village system

Chapter 276 My Favorite

"Mr. Wang, have some drinks too! Later, go toast Xiao Chen. We're all in the same production team, a few drinks will make everything alright." After handing the ingredients to Peng Peng, Teacher He came to Old Wang's side and whispered his suggestion.

Old Wang didn't think much of it and directly ordered someone to send them several dozen beers. If it were Teacher Huang who said this to him, he might have thought about it. He usually trusted Teacher He quite a bit.

Even Teacher He himself didn't expect that Lao Wang, who is usually so stingy, would be so generous this time. Seeing that Xiao Chen's acting skills had really fooled him, he naturally accepted the drinks offered by the staff without any hesitation.

The fans in the live stream were also very nervous. After watching the show for so long, this was the first time they had seen Chen Qing like this. Many fans felt guilty, wishing they hadn't egged Chen Qing on to sing the new song.

Of course, some haters also criticized Chen Qing for being stingy and arrogant. They said it was just a joke and he got angry, and that he got his current status by being helped by Lao Wang and the others.

Upon seeing the comments from the haters, the fans immediately spoke up to debate. Just as the situation was about to get out of control, Teacher He, who had gotten the drinks from inside the Mushroom House, returned to Chen Qing's side. The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, Xiao Chen, I've got the drinks."

"Only three dozen? Is that enough to drink? Oh well, it's not bad to get three dozen from Old Wang, that tightwad." Chen Qing glanced at the drinks in Teacher He's hand and stopped pretending.

The three of them high-fived in celebration, their faces beaming with the satisfaction of their wicked scheme succeeding. Anyone with eyes could tell that they had just been acting to trick the production crew into giving them drinks.

"No, how could you do this?" Old Wang was the first to jump out and accuse the three of their inhumanity; he had really been startled just now.

"How are we doing? Old Wang, you need to explain yourself clearly. Do you want me to give you a good talking to?" Chen Qing stepped forward, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Wang Zhengyu with amusement.

Having known Chen Qing for quite some time, I naturally know that Chen Qing's cunning is no less than Teacher Huang's, and he is extremely eloquent, able to talk the dead back to life. The first time we met, he dared to come up and bargain with them, and he succeeded.

"Never mind, I'm a magnanimous person. Consider these drinks as payment for the fans to listen to my songs."

After saying that, Lao Wang left without giving Chen Qing a chance to respond. However, his slightly hurried departure made it easy to see that he was afraid of Chen Qing, and his reaction naturally made everyone in the Mushroom House burst into laughter.

"Haha! The fear of being dominated by the landlord is playing out again. Mr. Wang is so funny."

"Tell me? What makes you think you can talk to Brother Chen like that? Have you forgotten how important 12 is? Missing it after not seeing it for a while?"

"I felt a pang of sympathy for that hurried figure, and I couldn't help but want to laugh."

"What about those trolls? Don't you feel the sting of their faces? They got slapped in the face, didn't they?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! These haters don't dare to utter a sound now."

"Brother Chen's acting is amazing! He must have been learning from Goddess Xiao Gu in private."

Chen Qing and the others couldn't see the comments from netizens. They took the ingredients and drinks into the kitchen. With vegetables, meat, and wine, this free dinner was quite lavish!
After putting the things away, Chen Qing left the kitchen without forgetting the agreement of the transaction. He gave Lao Wang the right to choose: "Director Wang, don't say I'm bullying you. Let the fans in the live stream decide the style of this song. Isn't that sincere enough?"

"No problem, at least you still have some conscience. I'll start a live stream and interact with you right now."

Old Wang was overjoyed at this suggestion, instantly feeling all his grievances vanish. He instructed his people to start voting in the live stream, and naturally, the fans in the live stream immediately joined in. In the end, option number 2, the love song, narrowly defeated option number 3, the inspirational song. Looking at the results, Old Wang had a sudden inspiration and announced to Chen Qing in front of him, "The fans' choice is number 2, the love song, but it has to be sung in Cantonese. Little Chen, you won't have any problems, okay!"

The fans in the live stream were delighted by the director's challenge. For them, the style of the song didn't really matter, as long as Chen Qing sang a new song. Even if it was a children's song, it wouldn't affect their enjoyment. They were even more willing to see the director set a trap for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing didn't doubt this, nor did he think too much about it. He had already said what he wanted to say, so he had no choice but to swallow it. Besides, this request was not difficult for him at all; he had plenty of classic Cantonese love songs.

"No problem, let's go back inside! I'll accompany you with the double keyboard."

As soon as the group entered the Mushroom House, Lao Wang immediately arranged for someone to take close-up shots of Chen Qing, which would then be posted separately online and guaranteed to trend on the next episode's search list.

"Ready? I'm starting to pull!" Chen Qing asked the VJ.

"Xiao Chen, wait a minute. I'll send a message to Xiao Gu and ask her to watch your performance in the live stream. I don't think she'll miss this opportunity." After saying that, Teacher He immediately made a phone call to Zhao Xiao Gu, who was standing next to him.

Actually, Zhao Xiaogu didn't need He Jiong and the others to remind her at all. She went online to check before the show even started broadcasting. During the voting segment, she voted for number 2 because she hoped Chen Qing would sing a love song for her.

"Okay, Xiao Gu is watching our live stream too."

"That sounds really good!"

Everyone knew that Chen Qing was talking to Zhao Xiaogu. Zhao Xiaogu, who was watching the live stream, naturally understood that Brother Chen was talking to her, and immediately switched to recording mode.

"The song is called 'My Favorite'."

The song "My Favorite" was originally sung by Hong Kong singer Vivian Chow, but it was actually sung by Heavenly King Cheung that made the song popular, and it subsequently became a hit on Douyin (TikTok).

The sky was a clear blue, and the gentle breeze added a touch of romance.

The tenderness and sweetness in my heart are as vast as the sea, boundless.

In that distant place, by chance or by accident, who wouldn't have fantasies about our first encounter?
A sunset as beautiful as poetry, a sunset as exquisite as wine.
It seems the God of Love left an impression on us; the setting sun departed, and the bright moon has taken its place.

As soon as Chen Qing started singing, the translators in the live stream immediately got to work, translating the lyrics of Chen Qing's song into Chinese and displaying them in the chat, so fans who don't understand Cantonese can still enjoy the performance.

Zhao Xiaogu listened to Chen Qing's heartfelt singing while watching the live comments translation. She was very satisfied with the song, and it added another love song to her repertoire. Sure enough, her man was second to none when it came to romance. This time, she really made it to the trending topics list without even realizing it.

How wonderful! With a husband like that, she won't lack topics or popularity even if she retires for several years. It seems she can plan to have two children in three years.

As she hummed along to the rhythm, Zhao Xiaogu felt incredibly comfortable. Sister Chen, standing beside her, smiled slightly, thinking how happy a woman who married for love truly was.
