The longed-for village system

Chapter 496 Confession Balloon
As the owner of the store, Yu Qian naturally learned of Chen Qing's visit immediately. At that moment, he was having dinner with a few friends. After exchanging a few simple glances, they immediately drove to the restaurant.

It's true that they have some status in the entertainment industry and even in Beijing's social circles, but compared to Chen Qing, they are nothing. It's a rare opportunity to make friends with them, so how could I possibly miss it?

They were relieved that the gathering hadn't gone far. Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the restaurant and saw a group of people at the table behind them. Sure enough, they were all very familiar faces.

As they entered the house, Teacher He and Teacher Huang saw Yuqian and his group. Since they were all acquaintances, they naturally stood up to greet them as they approached.

"Teacher He, Teacher Huang, what brings you here? You should have called me before you came! I would have personally entertained you no matter what."

Yu Qian gave the two a light hug, but his gaze was more focused on the crowd. After all, the waiter had only told him that Chen Qing had come to the restaurant, but he hadn't expected a whole table of people to come. They were indeed all top celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Teacher He, being a shrewd individual, naturally understood Yu Qian and the others' intentions. They probably rushed over after receiving word from their subordinates that Chen Qing had arrived. Now, avoiding them was impossible, as social niceties still mattered.

"Let me introduce you, Xiao Chen. This is Brother Qian, known as the Queen of Crosstalk. Tickets for his crosstalk performances with Master Guo are extremely difficult to sell. The others are members of the Black Panther Music Band, who are..."

Teacher He introduced the group to Chen Qing. Based on his understanding of Chen Qing, Chen Qing might only know Yu Qian, and as for the band members, he might have heard their songs but would definitely not remember their names.

As for Chen Qing, he doesn't need to introduce him at all. Now, not only in China, but probably very few people in the world don't know Chen Qing.

Chen Qing gave a brief greeting to the group. He was familiar with Yu Qian, as he would occasionally listen to crosstalk in his spare time in his previous life. He was naturally very familiar with Deyun Society, the first private crosstalk club in China, which brought crosstalk to new heights.

As for Black Panther, he had also heard their music, but he didn't know them or their names, though he knew that the band held an extraordinary position in the rock scene.

After a brief greeting, Yuqian and Black Panther chose another table not far from Chen Qing and sat down. They also wanted to try to build a relationship with Chen Qing again, but they knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, especially since it was their first time and they needed to control themselves.

As a music restaurant, music is naturally indispensable. Previously, the restaurant's resident singer did not perform because there were no customers. Now that even the owner has come, he naturally has to perform on stage.

Yuqian and Black Panther are both musicians. Seeing the resident singer perform two or three songs in a row, they got hooked and put down their cutlery to go on stage and show off.

Whether it was the waiter who kept leaking information or the paparazzi who got wind of Chen Qing's presence, the door kept opening while the group was performing, and groups of three or five artists walked in together, looked around, and then found empty seats to sit down.

The once quiet music restaurant suddenly became lively. Fortunately, everyone there was a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, so they all kept their voices down and it didn't feel noisy.

Seeing that they weren't going to bother them, Chen Qing and the others didn't get up to leave. They were all young people who liked lively atmospheres, and even Chen Qing didn't mind such lively atmospheres occasionally.

Following the opening performances by Yu Qian and Black Panther, many singers and artists took to the stage to perform, showcasing their signature songs in hopes of leaving a good impression on Chen Qing.

"it is good!"

Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and others stood up and applauded the performance. Even Liu Shishi, Zhao Xiaogu, and Ya Ya clapped and cheered continuously, especially Zhao Xiaogu, whose face was full of excitement. Since becoming pregnant, she had been staying in Manyuan Village. Although she would occasionally record programs and the surroundings were relatively lively, she hadn't had anything like this in a long time. Today, she was determined to indulge herself. Anyway, with her man by her side, she felt completely at ease.

Teacher He is also a person who likes to play and sing. Seeing everyone going up on stage to sing, he also went up on stage to sing his original song "Gardenia" amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Then, Teacher Huang also went on stage to sing one of his original songs, which naturally received a round of applause from the audience.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, Shi Shi, Ya Ya, why don't you sing a song too? Since you're here, just relax and have fun. It's okay if you don't sing well," Teacher He said to them.

Ya Ya and Liu Shishi immediately shook their heads in response. They were okay at performing or dancing, but they were not good at singing at all. They could dance wildly with a group of friends in private, but in this situation, they would rather not go on stage and embarrass their men.

Especially Ya Ya, she knows her own limitations, and it's absolutely impossible for her to sing a song without going off-key.

Although Zhao Xiaogu was somewhat tempted, she didn't go on stage. All the singers who had just performed were well-known artists, and she, being only a mediocre performer, wouldn't dare to show off her limited skills. She would just enjoy listening to the music.

"Brother Chen, why don't you go up and sing a song? To liven things up for everyone."

Hearing Zhao Xiaogu's words, the other two women also looked at Chen Qing with hopeful eyes. They also wanted to hear their man sing on stage. After all, it would be too stingy of them not to show off such an outstanding man.

"Okay, then I'll sing one too."

Chen Qing did not refuse. He also saw what the three women were thinking. He got up and walked towards the stage. Of course, his actions immediately received applause and cheers from the crowd.

This time, Chen Qing didn't sing a new song, but instead sang a song he had sung before, "Confession Balloon." In everyone's eyes, this was just showing off their affection, since Zhao Xiaogu was standing there looking at him with tender eyes.

Only Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, and Liu Shishi knew in their hearts that this song was sung by the man for the three of them, which could be considered as the man's confession to them.

"Okay! Brother Chen, one more song!" "Yes! Brother Chen, one more song!"

Chen Qing simply bowed to express his gratitude for the cheers from the crowd. Of course, he did not continue singing, but returned to his seat to continue eating. He only got up and left after the others had finished eating.

After leaving the music restaurant, Sister Qing and Sister Xun said goodbye to everyone. Teacher He and Teacher Huang drove the group back to the courtyard and then left. After all, it would be a lie to say they weren't busy, but Chen Qing was their top priority.

As Chen Qing left, the customers in the music restaurant also gradually left. However, a video of Chen Qing singing in the restaurant appeared online, which immediately aroused heated discussions among fans and websites.
