The longed-for village system

Chapter 317 The Mushroom House Family Returns to See the Old Man

Chen Qing wasn't too surprised by these results. He was naturally happy, but not arrogant. To be honest, none of these songs were his. He would be happier if he ever wrote a song of his own and it became a hit.

However, Zhao Xiaogu was completely different. She couldn't understand her man's indifferent attitude. After taking a screenshot, she posted it in the group chat to show off. How could she not be proud as his woman when her man was so outstanding?

Liu Shishi, Qinqin, and the other girls celebrated Chen Qing's achievements, and were also quite surprised by this incredible success. Unbeknownst to them, Chen Qing's influence had already surpassed theirs. At this moment, it was unlikely that anyone would object to calling Chen Qing a superstar.

At Hengdian World Studios, Ya Ya is filming her new drama. Seeing the news about Chen Qing makes her feel very proud, as he is the man she loves.

Over the next few days, Chen Qing would take some time to go to the recording studio to record a few songs and upload them, then treat Lao Zhu and the old man's health, while spending most of his time chatting with Zhao Xiaogu and watching TV series. In short, he was living a very comfortable life.

As the days passed, tomorrow was the day for recording "Longing". However, the old man and his family did not check into the hotel. It is unknown whether the audio upload caused a commotion. In the past few days, the number of tourists in Manyuan Village has not decreased but increased. Not only are hotel rooms in short supply, but even the rooms available in the villagers' homes have been rented out.

Chen Qing was naturally worried about the old man staying outside. Although the rooms in the Mushroom House would be vacant when the show started filming, there was still a way: the old man could stay at the old house for two days, while he and Zhao Xiaogu would stay at the Mushroom House for two days.

As for inviting the old man to participate in the program recording as a guest, Chen Qing would not take the initiative to suggest it. He dared not invite such a big star, and the program team could not afford to invite him either. If the old man appeared in their variety show, Lao Wang would be laughing in his dreams.

The old man naturally wouldn't object to Chen Qing's arrangements. He was well aware of the current situation in the village; even without going far, one could see a constant stream of tourists entering the village, and the fields were filled with tourists' tents.

In the afternoon, Teacher He and Teacher Huang arrived at the Mushroom House first. When they saw the old man there, Teacher He was shocked and immediately ran up to bow and greet him.

"Hello, sir, I am the host, He Jiong."

Compared to his friend's shock and excitement, Huang Sanshi was much calmer. Even if Chen Qing's medical skills were extraordinary, he would still need time to recover. Therefore, it was highly likely that the old man had returned to the village with him to recuperate. He had already mentally prepared himself for the old man's presence here.

"Hello, sir, I am Huang Sanshi."

The old man was no stranger to the two men. Although he rarely paid attention to the entertainment industry, he had been watching the show "Longing for Life" a lot recently, so he naturally recognized the names of the regular MCs.

"Hello, you two. I'm sorry to bother you." The old man greeted them with a smile.

The two immediately shook their heads at the old man's polite words, indicating that they wouldn't. Even Huang Sanshi wouldn't dare to put on airs in front of the old man. Not only was he a generation younger than him, but his knowledge was also far inferior. What reason did he have to put on airs?

After Teacher He and Teacher Huang, the crew arrived at the Mushroom House. When they learned that the old man was recuperating at Chen Qing's place, they were so surprised that they jumped up. Old Wang immediately led several assistants to the old house to pay their respects to the old man. When they left, they were a little reluctant and pulled Chen Qing to the door.

"Xiao Chen, did you invite the old man over?"

Chen Qing understood Old Wang's intentions perfectly well. He was truly astounded that Old Wang dared to even think of such a thing, let alone invite the old man onto their program. "That's right, I invited the old man here to recuperate. I know what you're thinking, Old Wang, but don't expect me to speak to him directly. If you want to invite him, you have to ask him yourself," Chen Qing said, directly refusing the offer.

Old Wang was a little disappointed by Chen Qing's refusal, but he could understand why Chen Qing would refuse his request. Even if Chen Qing's guest was very familiar with him, it wouldn't be appropriate to invite him to participate in their variety show. Given Chen Qing's status, he would have to consider his own importance even if he just wanted to watch.

"Sigh! Never mind, I don't dare ask the old man to be on our show. Let's go back to the Mushroom House to tidy up the equipment."

Seeing that Old Wang kept turning back every three steps, clearly not having given up on the idea, Chen Qing shook his head and turned to go inside.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang stepped forward when they saw Chen Qing come in. Teacher He asked in a low voice, "Little Chen, Old Wang didn't come to you to talk about the old man, did he?"

"You didn't agree to his request, did you?" Huang Sanshi asked with concern.

Both of them are highly intelligent. When they saw Lao Wang pulling Chen Qing out to whisper, they guessed what it was about. They could understand Lao Wang's feelings and thoughts. After all, if the old man appeared on their variety show, the episode's popularity and ratings would definitely reach new heights.

As investors in the show, they also wanted the old man to appear on screen, but they knew it was inappropriate unless the old man himself brought it up.

Of course, if Chen Qing were to ask, the old man would definitely give him face and let him appear on their show, but they don't want Chen Qing to ask.

Chen Qing wasn't surprised that the two had guessed Old Wang's thoughts. He nodded and answered them directly, "I know about this. I also refused Old Wang's request. After all, the old man's identity is too special, and they will be staying here for a while. It's better for him not to appear in the camera. Of course, if the old man himself has this idea, then that's another story."

Teacher He and Teacher Huang nodded in agreement with Chen Qing's answer. They didn't need to worry too much about Chen Qing in this regard, as he knew what he could and couldn't do.

After chatting in the old house for a while, Peng Peng and his sister arrived at the Mushroom House and, of course, came to pay their respects to the old man at Chen Qing's old house as soon as possible.

"Haha! Not bad for the two kids. You're Peng Peng and Zhang Zifeng, right? Good young men, learn from Xiao Chen in the future."

Peng Peng and his sister were very surprised that the old man knew them. Although they were quite popular and well-known among the new generation of actors, they were far from being household names. They never expected that the old man could call them by name.

Feeling deeply honored, Peng Peng immediately responded to the old man's words, "Yes! My sister and I will learn more from Brother Chen in the future, but Brother Chen is too amazing and we are afraid we can't keep up."

"Haha! It's good that young people have the desire to pursue their goals. What's most worrying is standing still and becoming complacent. You're all good kids, just keep working hard in the future."

The old man didn't deny what Peng Peng said. Chen Qing couldn't be measured by ordinary standards; an ordinary person couldn't reach his level. However, it was still good to look up to Chen Qing and strive to catch up.
