Jiang Ye hung up the phone and didn't sleep well all night. He woke up at six or seven as usual the next day and went out for morning exercises.

Now that the title of "Snake King" has been buried, getting up early for him is no longer a practice that requires fighting against human nature. Instead, he is like a person who is used to working out and feels exhausted if he does not practice for a day.

It’s past the summer solstice and it’s July.

The breeze swayed, the young leaves turned green, and the chirping of birds and insects seemed wanton and joyful.

Jiang Ye has been too busy lately. When he arrived at the small park today, several familiar faces took the initiative to greet him, which made Jiang Ye feel a little embarrassed.

—“I haven’t seen you jogging for a while, Xiao Jiang.”

—“Hey, Aunt Li.”

- "Xiao Jiang is a big star now!"

- "Hi, good morning, Sister Ma!"

- "Hey, isn't this Xiao Jiang? Come and show off your voice. We also want to sing a duet with a big star and compete with each other."

- "Don't dare, you are professional in Peking Opera..."

For four or five years in Beijing, as long as it didn't rain, I would come to the small park for morning exercises, run a few laps, and do a set of boxing. During my breaks, I would watch the aunts dancing in the square and listen to the old men singing operas. Over time, I got to know many acquaintances.

.

…

After running around twice, Jiang Ye took a slow walk and saw a bunch of retired old men playing chess again.

There were quite a few people around. Just when he was about to go around, the sharp-eyed Uncle Lu called out: "Xiao Jiang? Hey, it's you, come on, come on."

Uncle Lu leaned half up from the bench and waved to him. Jiang Ye scratched his head and walked over with a smile.

"Big star, do you have time to have a try today?" Uncle Lu failed to win a fight several times, but he still didn't give up. "After Lao Meng lost last time, I have never forgotten the trick you showed him."

Uncle Meng held the walnuts in his hand and clicked his tongue: "Look at how stingy you are. Even after I lose, I asked Xiao Jiang and I will remember it for you until now."

Jiang Ye kept an awkward but polite smile.

"Hurry up, let's play a game." Uncle Lu claims to be the chess king of Chaoyang District Park. Face is more important than anything else. "One game determines the outcome. If you lose, I will call you master. You have to admit it even if you lose. Why?"

Sample?"

This exciting strategy really aroused Jiang Ye's desire to win.

In his previous life, he had learned Go, but unfortunately his skills were not good; Xiangqi was just okay. When he was a child, he pretended to study the game records and was always eager to try. After he defeated a group of elders in the yard, no one wanted to play with him anymore.

Sometimes he goes online to challenge some good players, but few amateur players can beat him, so Jiang Ye occasionally watches professional games to satisfy his chess addiction.

Hey, being invincible is so lonely. (No)

Uncle Meng made way and pushed Jiang Ye down to sit on the bench.

"Come on, I can give you a horse or a carriage." Jiang Ye carried forward the spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Uncle Lu, the park chess king, expressed his dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Young man, Xiao Jiang.

Your uncle, I have been playing chess for forty years. You don’t have to give in. I will teach you a game today and wait until you call me master obediently later.”

Jiang Yizhi said that's fine, fair competition and respect for opponents, and he specializes in dealing with dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Uncle Lu was shot in the river-crossing car at the beginning, and Jiang Ye left the horse to fight across the river.

The surrounding area became lively, and there were gradually more and more people. As the saying goes, "A true gentleman watches chess but does not speak." Facts have proved that there are not many true gentlemen.

"Going pretty fast."

"Hold the horse down!"

"This move is okay, just ride on his rook."

"Hit his bishop! What a great chess piece. Hit the bishop and earn a knight."

"The rapid advance of the enemy is very powerful."

…

Jiang Ye’s little test of skills: “General”

Uncle Lu devoted himself wholeheartedly: "Support a scholar."

The onlookers watched with gusto, and some of the men were so excited that they almost moved their fingers in front of Jiang Yeyan.

"You can do it with ease."

"It's okay, I won with one heavy shot."

"Goodbye!"

…

After eighteen rounds of fighting along the river, the general dismounted his horse and made his last move to get out of the way of the cannon. The red chess sank to the bottom for a decisive victory, and the black chess was unable to recover.

"General!"

Jiang Ye, relying on his memory of cheating, imitated some of the techniques of his previous chess master Hu Ronghua, and his superb attack and killing skills stunned everyone.

Uncle Lu pretended to be cheating and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Uncle Meng's group of chess friends.

Jiang Ye won neatly. Although his chess addiction has not disappeared, he will not embarrass the old man. He clasped his fists and said: "I have to go to work. I will study with some seniors another day."

After saying that, he stood up with a smile and left first, leaving behind a group of sighing spectators: "This young man is really good..."

On the way, Jiang Ye bought soy milk and two pancakes and fruit. When he returned to the dormitory, Yao Xiao also got up.

"Don't worry about the kitchen. I'll clean it up later." Yao Xiao knocked on his head, "What time did they leave last night?"

"Around 11 o'clock, I said we would stay. Chuan'er made an announcement this afternoon and took them both for a ride." Jiang Ye responded.

Yao Xiao thought of something and asked again: "You want to appear on that food variety show, have you decided yet?"

Jiang Ye turned on his phone and flipped through the messages. Sure enough, Lin Sen had just sent over the specific content of the program recording.

"Late Night Diner", as its name suggests, is a late-night food talk show broadcast every Saturday at 11 p.m.

Although it is a late-night show, the two hosts are quite experienced, the ratings of the show are stable, and the show is quite popular.

In each issue, four celebrity guests are invited to work in pairs to chat with the fixed chef about food life and interesting gossip.

The biggest highlight is that each group of guests will send a representative to have a 15-minute creative cooking showdown with the show's chef, and what they cook will be based on the current theme.

There were still a few days left before the recording, so Jiang Ye briefly browsed through the program information.

I saw that the flying guest who was partnered with him in that issue was an artist whose name I had never heard of, and he must have been a newcomer who had just debuted.

What?!

Jiang Ye stared at the phone and kept zooming in on the photos, raising his eyebrows and widening his eyes, turning over and over again, still in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Yao Xiao came over, bent down to take a look, slowly met Jiang Ye's eyes, and opened his mouth in surprise, "It's actually her?"

Jiang Ye nodded slightly: "It's her."

…

At that time, there was Dafeng Entertainment in Beijing.

Agent Jiao Lei was at her desk with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

In June, Xu Ruiyang, the first brother of the company, released a record, hoping that with the popularity of his TV series and the large number of fans, he would make another fortune and help the first brother raise his worth.

This is a rare opportunity for a moderate entertainment company to break out.

Recently, Gale Entertainment has focused all its resources on Xu Ruiyang, just to promote him to the top and secure his position on the front line.

An A-list star can bring more than a little benefit to the company.

Not only will Dafeng Entertainment's status in the industry be greatly improved, but its other artists will also benefit from this.

Unfortunately, the timing coincided with the release of a new album by Tianyou's boy band, which became platinum in the first week, and the momentum was fierce.

Now that resources have been depleted, Xu Ruiyang's new album has achieved mediocre results. His front-line status has been questioned by the industry, and the album's appeal is simply not worthy of the previous publicity campaign.

This not only damaged the reputation of Dafeng Entertainment, but also caused discord within the company. Many people quietly discussed that the company should not bet all its money on Xu Ruiyang alone.

Jiao Lei was also worried because the announcements of several of her artists had been cancelled.

Originally, she had no voice in the company, and she was led by all new people, so good resources were hardly available to her.

In the past few days, I have racked my brains, used a lot of connections, and worked hard to get a program opportunity.

Dong dong dong——

knocking.

"Come in." Jiao Lei's face brightened slightly.

The person coming was none other than her favorite newcomer—Yu Feiwan.

"Sister Lei." Yu Feiwan greeted, and Jiao Lei asked her to sit down.

If it were an ordinary newcomer, Jiao Lei wouldn't take it too seriously, but this Yu Feiwan was different.

She comes from an artistic family. Her father, Yu Zongxian, is a well-known folk music professor at the top music conservatory in China; her mother, Yan Qing, is a first-class actor at the National Peking Opera Company.

Putting aside these backgrounds, just talking about her herself, Jiao Lei was quite surprised when they met her for the first time.

She is clearly a poppy. Even thinking of this kind of flower is not enough to describe her or her elegance and nobility.

For the first time, Jiao Lei suspected that her vocabulary was lacking.

"The program I told you two days ago has been finalized." Jiao Lei prepared her speech.

She liked Yu Feiwan from the bottom of her heart, but this girl was too individual and full of arrogance.

I previously filmed a music video for Xu Ruiyang's title song, and just because Xu Ruiyang wanted to treat her to a meal, I sent her several private messages, but this girl refused to be in the same frame as this first brother again.

The first brother also has a temper. After that, Yu Feiwan was suppressed everywhere. She couldn't get good songs or good dramas. The company's resources had nothing to do with her anymore. Even some ordinary variety show announcements couldn't reach her.

On the head.

If it weren't for his parents' reputation, Yu Fei would have been hidden by the company sooner or later.

This time the program was not run through a company, but was won by Jiao Lei herself, so she was not afraid of being snatched away.

Jiao Lei turned the laptop over: "Look, although it is a late-night show, the production is online, and the host and guests are all the most popular people at the moment."

Yu Feiwan listened and scrolled through the pages. For a moment, she stopped her fingers.

His eyes fell on something and he didn't move away for a while.

It's him!

"Don't worry about whether you have a sense of variety shows or whether you know how to cook, this matter..." Jiao Lei said earnestly but she hadn't finished speaking yet.

Yu Feiwan's eyes were as clear as snow, and he agreed with unprecedented ease: "I will go."

"What?" Jiao Lei hasn't reacted yet.

"Sorry for causing you trouble, Sister Lei." Yu Feiwan smiled lightly, "I will go to this show."
