After the clay sculpture was completed, it was already 11: 00 PM. It took him a total of 3 hours.
"Alright." After the old man finished, he placed it into a box, tied it up, and gave it to Zi Yan.
"Thank you, Master Liu." Zi Yan happily accepted it.
"How much is it?" Zhou Fei took his own bag and asked.
"Just wait and see." The old man smiled as he spoke.
He wasn't lacking in money, and he was just interested in making clay sculptures.
"Then ?" Zhou Fei was a little confused, he did not know how much the market price for the clay sculpture was.
Seeing Zhou Fei's expression, the old man chuckled and said: "Just keep the two hundred coins."
"Two hundred?" Zhou Fei was startled. No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that the price of such an exquisite clay sculpture wasn't two hundred pieces. Two hundred, she could only hold onto one of her brother-in-law's arms, right?
"Fei Fei, leave behind all your cash." Suddenly, Zi Yan opened his mouth.
After Zhou Fei heard this, he immediately took out two stacks of notes from his bag and placed them on the table.
"Master Liu, the clay sculpture you made has an extraordinary meaning to me. It is also a work of art, and there is no need to measure it with money. I am just expressing my gratitude. Thank you Master Liu, we will take our leave." Zi Yan smiled slightly, tapped his forehead lightly, and turned to leave with Zhou Fei.
When the old man saw this, he shook his head slightly.
"It's done so beautifully." Outside the door, Zhou Fei sighed with emotion: "That taxi driver is really kind. It's just that, Master Liu is so old and his children are no longer by his side. He doesn't have a wife, he's really lonely."
"Perhaps ?" Zi Yan looked back at the shop, and said softly: "This is what every old man needs to experience, right?"
At this moment, Zi Yan started to miss his parents. The last time they contacted each other seemed to be a month ago? I think the last time we met was a year ago? They were all white-haired.
At the same time, Zi Yan also felt a little helpless in his heart. As a child of a large family, on the surface, it gave people the feeling that he could buy whatever he wanted and live a carefree life, but a family had its own problems. Zi Yan was even somewhat envious of the slow pace of life in the countryside.
"Elder Sister Yan, shall we go eat lunch first? I'm so hungry. " Zhou Fei's stomach growled twice as he spoke.
"Then we'll find a nearby restaurant to eat ?" Just as Zi Yan replied, Zhou Fei's phone rang.
She picked up the phone, and after saying a few words, she put the phone down, leaned her head close to Zi Yan's ear and whispered:
"It's Brother Jia's phone call. He said he has something he wants to discuss with us, so we can have lunch together. It's just the three of us, do you agree?"
Zi Yan thought for a moment, then gently nodded his head. Seeing that, Zhou Fei picked up his phone and answered him.
"I wonder why he is looking for us?" Zhou Fei muttered as he waved to stop a taxi.
They got into the car and drove back to the hotel they were staying in. They stopped at a restaurant called the Arth Restaurant, which was about five hundred meters next door.
"Welcome, may I ask if you two are here?" When the front desk manager saw that a customer had arrived, he greeted them with a smile.
"Jia Dong has a private room." Zhou Fei replied.
"Mr. Jia's guests, come. This way please. Little Flower, take them to private room 888." the manager said to a waitress.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Zi Yan and Yue Yang arrived at the private room.
There was a small round table, approximately six chairs, and around it there were also some flower pots and decorations. Jia Dong was sitting on the chair, playing with his mobile phone, and upon seeing the two coming over, he smiled and nodded his head:
"You're here, please take a seat."
After saying that, he turned to the waiter and said, "You can serve the dishes now."
"Alright." The waiter smiled and nodded in response.
Roughly five minutes later, Jia Dong ordered all the dishes, with only three people inside. Jia Dong also ordered eight specialty dishes and a bottle of Man-headed Horse.
Jia Dong personally served Zi Yan and Zhou Fei, and after drinking the first mouthful, Zi Yan said:
"I wonder why Young Master Jia called us here?"
"Oh, it's like this." Speaking of proper business, Jia Dong's expression also became serious. He smiled slightly and replied:
The guest for this episode is Yuan Shuangshuang. This morning, she called programme division and said that one of her relatives was very sick and she had to rush back, so there wasn't enough time. So the guest's seat was vacant, when I found out about the news, I immediately thought of Zi Yan, and thought that with you, this season's program, it would definitely be more interesting.
Swish!
In that moment, Zhou Fei's eyes lit up.
"My Sing" was a popular program. The music was a combination of suspenseful reasoning and games, and the guests who were present, through the excellent performances of the six contestants on the spot, had to consult the host's tempting opinions to determine who was the real singer and how to perform a duet with him. It could be said to be an extremely interesting program.
Zhou Fei knew that if he were to enter this program, it would be of great help to his popularity, especially since Zi Yan and the Jiang Yuan TV Station were still very popular.
"Elder Sister Yan!" Seeing Zi Yan hesitating, Zhou Fei panicked and couldn't help but remind him.
However, Zhou Fei's mind was blown away by the sudden pleasant surprise, and he thought a little more.
She had already said that she was going back tonight, Mengmeng knew if she would be unhappy.
And this program is Jia Dong's pure and innocent good will? Is there any other purpose? Could it be related to that Liu Shao and the Lin Shao?
At that moment, Zi Yan was hesitating, because the surprise was too sudden.
But ? She also knew about her current situation. This program had been of great help to her.
After some hesitation, Zi Yan finally nodded his head and agreed:
"Thank you, Young Master Jia."
"I'm fine." Jia Dong laughed heartily, his eyes flashed, and then he said tentatively: "Yesterday, after you left, Brother Lin and I chatted, and he really admired you, so I paid attention to the recent programs, and never expected to discover the truth of this program."
"Lin Shao has been considerate, I still have to thank Young Master Jia for his good intentions." Zi Yan replied.
"It's fine." Jia Dong shook his head: "The main thing is that you have a good temperament, Zi Yan, and your current enthusiasm is not low. I heard that there are a few media outlets and dog people who have their eyes on you."
"Oh ?"
Following that, Jia Dong did not talk about other things that happened at work. Instead, he chatted about some interesting things about the Entertainment Circle with Zi Yan and the others.
Around half past one, when the meal ended, Jia Dong personally drove Zi Yan and Yue Yang back to the entrance of the hotel.
But who knew that just as he got out of the car and was about to reach the door, a few media reporters rushed out from the side.
They rushed to the front and asked:
"Hello, Zi Yan. What do you think about the incident in Jiang Yuan TV Station?"
"I heard that you're going to take part in a big movie. I wonder if the news is true or not?"
"?"
"I'm sorry, this is not the press conference. Everyone, give way!" Zhou Fei quickly hid Zi Yan behind him and brought him into the hotel.
After entering the door, the media reporters did not pursue the matter and shook their heads regretfully as they left.
Jia Dong, who was standing beside the carriage, shook his head and sighed.
This way, her desire to become famous would increase a little, and the plans that she had to follow the Lin Shao's instructions would go more smoothly. Furthermore, it had only just started today, and as long as Zi Yan left his house, the number of people that the media would arrange for him was not just a few.
"Since ancient times, beauties have had many lives. I wonder if Zi Yan's luck is good or bad."
Jia Dong lamented, then got into the car and immediately left.
After Zi Yan and Zhou Fei returned to their room, Zhou Fei curled his lips and joked:
"Looks like Elder Sister Yan will need some bodyguards from now on!"
"It's not that exaggerated, right? I still don't have any good results." Zi Yan responded lightly, but there was still a sense of excitement in his eyes.
Being chased around by Doggy or the reporter also indirectly showed how popular he was, but after a while, his private space was disturbed, which was unavoidable. Zi Yan also did not expect that his trip to the mainland would be successful.
Although there had been an incident at Jiang Yuantai, it seemed that with the help of Han Yang, it had become a special hype for her.
"I really did not expect young master Jia to be so kind as to arrange a program called" My Sing "for the Elder Sister Yan." Zhou Fei asked somewhat curiously.
"This might be related to that Lin Jie as well." Speaking till here, Zi Yan's expression became a little lighter. She thought for a while, then said: "But whether it is him or not, we'll just treat it as Young Master Jia's help. After we're done, we'll go back to the Xiangjiang the next day."
"Alright." Zhou Fei nodded.
"I'll call Zhang Han first. I can't return today, I don't know if Mengmeng will be happy or not." Zi Yan walked into the bedroom with his phone and dialed Zhang Han's number.
"Zhang Han."
"Yes."
"I ?" Zi Yan pursed her lips and said: "I won't be able to go back today."
"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Han asked.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow there will be another program called 'My Sing'. I will be replacing the guests who haven't come. I think it will be the night of the day after tomorrow or even the day after that."
"Oh." Zhang Han squinted, and fell silent.
After ten seconds, Zi Yan's heart was inexplicably somewhat at a loss. Her lips slightly curled as she said: "Why aren't you speaking?"
"I ?" Zhang Han muttered to himself for a moment, then asked directly: "Who arranged this program for you?"
"It's the son of the television station's chief operator. His name is Jia Dong." Zi Yan was startled, and answered truthfully.
"Do you know Lin Jie?" Zhang Han asked.
"Eh ?" Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Last night, Jia Dong invited everyone to dinner, and we met Lin Jie. When we were making a call, he was not far from me, and he even borrowed my phone."
After thinking about it, Zi Yan still did not tell them that the few people at the table had scolded Zhang Han. She felt that telling Zhang Han would make him in a bad mood.
However, what she did not know was that Zhang Han had always disregarded insignificant ants.
