rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 402 Chen Li’s request

"Didn't you go to record the show this week?"

Beside the basketball court, Chen Li and He Yan were squatting in the shade and chatting.

Different from the later recording and broadcasting, the current "Happy Camp" still adopts the live broadcast mode.

Every week, He Jiong will fly to Star City between live broadcasts, and then return to school after recording the live broadcasts.

So although He Jiong is already a famous host now, in fact hosting the show was just a part-time job for him at that time.

His main job is still as a teacher at a foreign language university, even though the income between the two is not directly proportional.

"No~ There's a party over there this week, so you don't need to go there."

He Juan seemed very comfortable when chatting with Chen Li, and there was no barrier like ordinary students and teachers.

Uh~ Okay! To be honest, He Jiong really doesn't have any airs, even if he is a teacher, the word "majesty" definitely has nothing to do with him.

Especially his part-time job makes him barely half a member of the entertainment industry, and he often interacts with celebrities in the entertainment industry, so He Juan is very popular among his classmates.

Some people came to him to ask for autographs, and some came to him for gossip.

Celebrities these days are not as easy to get in touch with as they were later, so He Juan's popularity among students is quite high.

Of course, the biggest reason why He Juan and Chen Li get along so comfortably is that they are now considered friends.

In the football match last year, He Juan was "bullied" by Chen Li. However, there is an old saying that if you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. Although Chen Li has never played with He Juan, he still has some communication skills.

After two semesters, he and He Juan became familiar with each other, and because of Chen Li's attitude when facing the teacher, the two of them became quite good friends.

They're not really good friends, just the kind of friends who would say hello and chat for a while when they meet, and occasionally even have a meal together when they meet at dinner.

Don't underestimate this point, because it is almost difficult for ordinary college students to do it.

The natural gap between students and teachers does not disappear simply because the teacher is more approachable.

Chen Li can force He Juan to pay for a meal because in Chen Li's heart, he and He Juan are equals regardless of age or status.

In addition, Chen Li relied on the communication skills he had accumulated in his previous life. Not only was he able to make friends with He Jiong, he was actually friends with most of the teachers he knew.

Even to some old professors in the school, Chen Li could shamelessly say that he had been friends with them for many years.

Even though some professors always say that Chen Li is not doing his job properly, when they say this, they usually say it with a smile.

For this reason, some students in the school even said behind his back that Chen Li was "grooming".

However, Chen Li didn't bother to talk to these people at all. These guys were still children at heart and had never seen real society.

When they graduate from college and enter social work, these people may become even more "campy" than Chen Li.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that Chen Li is "scheming", because the ultimate purpose of "scheming" is to take advantage of others and seek personal gain for himself.

But in fact, apart from occasionally asking for leave, Chen Li never took advantage of these relationships.

On the contrary, these professors are all thinking of adding more burdens to Chen Li.

For example, Teacher Han of the Youth League Committee has always wanted to recruit Chen Li to join the Youth League Committee, and even privately said that Chen Li is very suitable for the position of secretary of the Youth League branch.

This is not the Youth League secretary of any department, but the general secretary of the Youth League branch of the entire University of Foreign Studies.

In Han Xuemei's eyes, a student like Chen Li is extremely suitable for this position.

But it is a pity that Chen Li found it troublesome and was not willing to accept the kindness of these teachers. This is why those teachers always laughed and said that Chen Li was not doing his job properly.

The reason why he said it with a smile is because Chen Li himself is very good academically, and even his personal development far exceeds the scope of ordinary college students.

So even if Chen Li refused, these teachers did not have any bad opinions towards Chen Li.

Because for Chen Li, these are just the icing on the cake at most.

Just like before, Professor Lu always wanted to recommend Chen Li to participate in the selection process of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in his sophomore year, and then go to Germany for further studies in his junior year.

But when Professor Lu learned about Chen Li's specific situation, he had other ideas about Chen Li.

First of all, the selection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a quota limit. It is okay for a small language like German, after all, there are few people.

In addition, Chen Li’s grades are already among the best in the German major, so if Chen Li really wants to participate, he will definitely be selected.

In fact, the selection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs these days is based on recommendations from the school, and the higher-ups can only review them.

If Professor Lu really wanted to recommend Chen Li, even if Chen Li's grades were only average, the chances of him being selected would still be quite high.

It's just that after Professor Lu learned about Chen Li's personal development, he gave up this idea.

Because participating in the selection process for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is equivalent to pre-determining future development. This may be an opportunity for other ordinary language students, but it is of little significance to Chen Li.

In addition, Chen Li's personal development is relatively good now, and he can study abroad in Germany at his own expense.

That’s why Professor Lu took Chen Li to meet Ms. Laura and Lucas some time ago.

But what Professor Lu didn't expect was that not only did Chen Li have no plans to study abroad, he even started a business with Lucas.

This made Professor Lu a little angry. In the end, Chen Li went to Professor Lu's house and stayed there for two days to calm down Professor Lu's anger.

So, it’s somewhat exaggerated to say that Chen Li is trying to make a profit!

In Chen Li's view, this is a normal interpersonal interaction, but it is still a bit incomprehensible to those college students in the ivory tower.

"Here~ this is what you want."

He Yan opened his backpack and handed a stack of notebooks to Chen Li, rolling his eyes as he handed them back.

"Hehe~ Thanks!"

Chen Li smiled and took the notebook. This was the signature he asked He Juan for help.

There are three notebooks in total. When you open the notebook, you will see that it is different from the flying handwriting used when celebrities sign their names. Each of the title pages inside has a blessing written on it.

The beginning of the notebook is Liu Qingqing, Chen Xue and Wang Yan respectively.

Okay~ This is the "benefits" that Chen Li wants for his girlfriend and sister.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings~Andy Lau’s signature~!

To be honest, this is indeed a bit embarrassing, because this person has never participated in the recording of "Happy Camp".

Even He Jiong directly admitted at that time that he himself had no friendship with this person.

In the end, Chen Li asked He Juan to take over the job at the cost of a meal.

After all, he was considered a member of the entertainment industry, so he finally asked a friend to contact his friends in Hong Kong to help Chen Li get these autographs.

"Thank you, no need~!"

"You have to prepare a better meal for me as promised!"

He Juan was a little helpless, he owed a lot of favors this time.

However, some people may think that renqing is troublesome, but in fact, renqing is a type of communication.

Just like although he owed someone else a favor this time, Chen Li also owed him a favor because of the incident itself.

This kind of favor is so owed, but as long as it is not excessive, it will actually be a help for interpersonal communication.

"Don't worry ~ No problem!"

"If you want to go to the farmhouse, call me anytime."

Chen Li naturally wanted to thank others for helping, so he agreed very happily.

"Ahem~ Forget about the rice, get me two of those ideal chickens!"

The ideal chicken is the yellow-feathered chicken from the chicken farm. As Chen Li’s friend, He Jiong has naturally tasted the yellow-feathered chicken.

In fact, Chen Li has given ideal chicken to many people.

However, the breeding scale of this ideal chicken in chicken farms is also very small. It can even be said that it is hard to find a chicken now, so He Ji asked specifically.

"Okay~ I'll say hello to the farmhouse and you can go directly then."

"No~ no, I don't want the cooked chicken. Just give me the chicken. I'll give it away."

Before Chen Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by He Yan.

"Give it away.!"

Chen Li moved his eyes away from the notebook and looked at He Jiong.

Nowadays, Ideal Chicken is no longer the unknown chicken it used to be. Thanks to the promotion by Chef Gong and some people, today's Ideal Chicken is already considered famous in some people's minds.

For example, in the chef circle in Beijing, the name of Ideal Chicken has been known by more famous chefs.

However, due to the scale of ideal chicken breeding, the output has not been able to increase, and naturally it is impossible to form a brand.

Of course, this is Chen Li’s intention, and it can also be regarded as a kind of hunger marketing.

Okay~ This is actually nonsense. The reason why the scale of breeding has not been expanded is not that Chen Li did not want to, but that the previous Chen Li did not have that much money.

After all, he separated the chicken farm from Ideal Fried Chicken, so naturally it was impossible to use the funds from Ideal Fried Chicken to develop the chicken farm.

But this time Chen Li got a million US dollars in compensation from Red Pony, and he finally had the money to develop his chicken farm.

Therefore, it is estimated that the breeding scale of Ideal Chicken will increase in a short time, and by then the reputation of Ideal Chicken will probably reach a higher level.

Previously, Chen Li had a big misunderstanding about the development of Ideal Chicken, that is, he really wanted to engage in "hunger marketing"!

Because he positions Ideal Chicken as high-end ingredients, he always wants to operate Ideal Chicken like those high-end ingredients in his previous life.

But later Chen Li discovered something. The reason why many things rely on marketing to hype them is because the actual value of these things themselves is not equal to their economic value after hype.

But Ideal Chicken is different~ Even if Chen Li doesn't do any hunger marketing to hype it up, the quality of Ideal Chicken's chicken is there, and it is a high-end ingredient in itself.

This is just like abalone and sea cucumber. Even if they are not hyped, their economic value far exceeds that of ordinary ingredients.

It can be said that as long as Chen Li does not make the ideal chicken popular, the economic value of the ideal chicken will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary chicken.

After thinking about it, Chen Li decided not to engage in hunger marketing. He only needed to be careful not to let the breeding scale exceed a certain threshold.

"Give it away? Are those two enough?"

If He Jiong was eating it by himself, Chen Li would naturally not ask this question, because the scale of ideal chicken breeding has not yet increased.

But if He Jiong gives it away, that's another matter.

Chen Li thought what was He Jiong doing, so he asked.

"That's enough~ huh?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say before that the ideal chicken is hard to find?"

He Jiong clearly noticed something was wrong, so he asked casually.

"Tch~ If you eat it, I'll get you one at most."

"But if you want to use it as a gift or something, I can get you a few more."

Chen Li turned his head and continued to read the notebook in his hand.

To be honest~ Liu Tianwang's handwriting is pretty good, although it's a little worse than Chen Li's, but Chen Li has system space after all.

Oh, yes! Chen Li is good at handwriting, not only with pen calligraphy, but also with brush calligraphy.

Of course, this comparison is only for ordinary people, and cannot be compared with those professional calligraphers.

Pay attention~ What we are talking about here are real calligraphers, not those later "performance art masters" with brain problems.

"What do you want from me as a gift?"

"I have a friend. Have you heard of "Walking and Singing"?"

He Yan rolled his eyes again, knowing that Chen Li had misunderstood something.

"Uh~ I've heard of it!"

OK~ Chen Li did misunderstand, but then he guessed who the friend He Yan was talking about was.

In fact, there is no need to guess, the answer was already revealed when He Juan said the song "Walking and Singing".

Huang Sanshi!

Contrary to what many people later understood, although Huang Sanshi graduated from Yanjing Film Academy, in fact, he was famous in his early years because of his identity as a singer.

Although he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at a well-known film festival in 1996 for his movie "Midnight Song", his popularity has not actually increased.

At least for Chen Li in his previous life, he knew Huang Sanshi because of his album.

"Singing while walking"!

And unlike the middle-aged uncle later, Huang Sanshi in his early years was really handsome.

Even Chen Li, who is also a male, thinks Huang Sanshi is very handsome at this time.

The song "Walking and Singing" released by Huang Sanshi was also quite popular at the time.

However, although Chen Li knew that the two had known each other for many years and were friends for many years, he really didn't know that He Jiong and Huang Sanshi had known each other at this moment.

"Huang Sanshi?"

Of course, although he knew that the two of them would be good friends in the future, Chen Li still had to pretend.

"Yes~ have you heard it? Isn't this song good?"

"When I was still at CCTV the year before last, I met Huang Sanshi and we were friends."

"He treated me to a meal two days ago, so I was thinking about treating him to a meal in return."

"Isn't it just that you have finished this matter, so I just thought about it."

Before He Yan finished speaking, Chen Li nodded.

"Okay~ But let's forget about the native chicken."

"You're a big star, how can you expect them to do it themselves?"

"Let's do this~ You make an appointment and I'll ask the farmhouse to prepare a table for you."

Oh, Chen Li is pretending again. After all, who doesn’t know that Huang Sanshi’s cooking skills are very good?

Even though there may be some artistic processing in the variety show, it is undeniable that Huang Sanshi's cooking skills are definitely considered a master in non-professional fields.

Not to mention anything else~ With all the dishes he makes, most people don’t care about the taste, and they may not be able to make them just by making them.

So ~ Chen Li is still "pretending" now, and sure enough ~ He Ji was easily fooled!

"Hey~ I can tell you, Huang Sanshi's cooking skills are not bad."

"I've eaten his food and I don't believe you are like this."

"I'll ask first. If it's okay, I'll take you there directly."

"Let you try the food cooked by the big star himself!"
