After about half an hour, footsteps came from the corridor.

Soon, a middle-aged man came in from outside. It was Mayor Gao Qiankui.

However, his attire was a little surprising.

His white shirt and pants were a mess. It was obvious that they were stained with dirt.

“h.e.l.lo, Mayor Gao. My name is Yan Ci. I want to record a variety show in your

Happiness Village. I want to talk to you about the related matters.”

“Welcome, welcome.”

Gao Qiangkui shook hands with the two of them.

“I’m really sorry. The water in the river rose and flooded the area. I just finished working and didn’t have time to change.”

The fact that someone had come to a G.o.dforsaken place like Four Corner Town to record a show was like mana falling from the sky for Gao Zhengkui.

If this actually went through, it would be beneficial to foreign investment in the future.

He had to do his best to keep the two of them here!

“I understand, I understand. We’ve delayed your time,” Yan Ci said politely.

“Don’t say that. You guys coming to Happiness Village to record a show is also a form of publicity for us. We couldn’t be happier.”

With that, Gao Qiangkui looked at Lin Yi.

“You look familiar. Are you the new person in Happiness Village?”

“Yes, I have a greenhouse and a fish pond here. I come here occasionally.”

“If that’s the case, I really have to thank you.”

“You don’t have to be so polite. I was just pulling strings. As for whether we can reach a collaboration, you guys have to talk about it in detail before that can be decided.”

“Alright, alright, alright.” Gao Qiangkui said enthusiastically,

“Why don’t I find a place and we can talk while we eat?”

“Whatever you say,” Yan Ci said.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon. It was not time to eat yet.

If he were to reject the mayor’s request, Yan Ci would appear like she did not understand the ways of the world.

“Let’s go over now. There’s a farmyard in our town. Everything there is pure green. I guarantee that you haven’t eaten anything like it in Zhonghai.”

“Then we’ll do as you propose.”

“Sounds good. Since you’re here today, just follow my arrangements. I guarantee that you’ll eat and drink well.”

With that, the three of them walked out. Then, Gao Qiangkui went to the office next door and called out a young man in his twenties.

“Let me introduce my son, Gao Haoyu. He’s currently working here and helping out. We’ll go out together later.”

Gao Qiangkui’s son was not tall. He wore a pair of black-framed gla.s.ses and had a buzz cut. He was dressed very simply.

Indeed, the saying goes “The mountain is high and the emperor is far away.” It was rare to see a father and son working in the same company in Zhonghai.

However, this was Four Corner Town, so it was a different story.

Then, Gao Qiangkui introduced Lin Yi and Yan Ci to Gao Haoyu.

“My son is too honest. I just want to train him, broaden his horizons, and show many things,” Gao Qiangkui said with a smile.

“That’s good. With more people, it’ll be easier to go over the details.”

Yan Ci was very good at reading people’s expressions, so she understood Gao Qiangkui’s intentions well.

It was human nature for a father to worry about paving the way for his son.

Under Gao Qiangkui’s lead, the four of them arrived at the farmyard he mentioned.

There was a big pot in the courtyard and free-range chickens, ducks, and geese. It was rare to see a sight like this in a city like Zhonghai.

Gao Qiangkui ordered something and pushed the menu to Lin Yi and Yan Ci.

However, neither of them ordered anything and listened to Gao Qiankui’s arrangements.

“Director Yan, is there anything you need for the show you’re filming? Tell me and I’ll do my best to help.”

“I want to record a program that focuses on a slow-paced lifestyle. I want to show the audience in the city the modern day’s pastoral life.”

“This program sounds good!” Gao Qiangkui said.

“No one in the city has seen the scenery in our countryside before. If this is filmed, it will definitely become popular.”

Gao Qiangkui did not know anything about variety shows. He only knew that if they really were to film here, it would present a golden opportunity for Four Corner Town.

“The location we chose is the fish pond on the east side of the village, so we need to set up a piece of land nearby for the production team to use. As for the price, I hope you can give us a discount. Our funds are very limited.”

“I know the fish pond in the east, but I can’t decide the exact price. However, I can help you negotiate and try to satisfy you.”

Lin Yi had lived in Happiness Village for a long time and knew many people, but most of them were just acquaintances. He didn’t know them very well.

Therefore, he did not know whose land was next to the fish pond. Otherwise, he would have gone to negotiate himself.

“Thank you.”

Lin Yi and Gao Haoyu didn’t interrupt the conversation.

Lin Yi didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but Gao Haoyu was a little stiff. He didn’t do anything other than pour wine.

If it were anyone else, they would have taken advantage of this opportunity.

“When it’s time to film, we might start using the newly built cement path. It might affect the villagers’ access. This matter might affect Happiness Village a little.”

“I’ll help with that,” Gao Haoyu said, speaking up for once.

Gao Qiangkui nodded in satisfaction. “That’s not a big problem. Explain the situation to the villagers clearly. They will definitely be willing to cooperate.”

“Also, I need a few people to cooperate with us to complete the recording.” Yan Ci hesitated for a moment. “It’s a little like the NPCs in the game who cooperate with the players to complete the relevant missions.”

“Erm… what?”

The word NPC was obviously not something Gao Qiankui was familiar with.

“Dad, I know what she means. It’s a character in the game who helps players complete missions,” Gao Haoyu said.

“Just like yourself. Your main task is to help the common people take care of their matters. This is more or less the same.”

Gao Haoyu’s explanation made Lin Yi and Yan Ci want to laugh.

However, what he said made a little sense, so they did not explain further.

“This won’t do. My ident.i.ty is special. I can’t film the show with you.”

Lin Yi,”…

II

Yan Ci.”…”

‘Coincidentally, we don’t really need you anyway.’

“Director Yan, can we change the person for this mission?” Gao Qiangkui probed.

“Sure, sure,” Yan Ci said.

“A few young people will do, but they have to be smart. They can’t be anxious when meeting strangers. I don’t think Little Yu is bad in this regard.”

Gao Haoyu was an honest and dull person. He did not meet Yan Ci’s standards at all, but he was Gao Zhengkui’s son, so she still had to flatter him.

“If you think my son can do it, then let him do it. But I don’t think he can handle it alone.”

Gao Qiangkui laughed and said, then looked at Gao Haoyu.

“Son, don’t you have a few friends in town? Can you pick a few suitable ones?”

Gao Haoyu thought about it. “I think Zhang Heping will do.”

“Can that kid do it?” Gao Qiangkui said disdainfully, “He’s mischievous and is always tardy. I feel that he’s unreliable.”

“He’s changed now. Most importantly, he’s seen the world. He’s better than

me.”

“What has he seen?”

“He’s the only person in town who’s ever been to a club.”

Lin Yi was speechless.

Yan Ci,”???”

“That kid has been to Di Bar, right?!”

“Is that where good people go? This kid really hasn’t learned well,” Gao Qiangkui unexpectedly commented.

Lin Yi,”…

II

Yan Ci,”…”

‘Please don’t be so honest. We’ve both been there before!’

“That place is indeed a little messy, but I heard from Zhang Heping that ordinary people can’t go there yet. If you don’t have 18,000 yuan in your pocket, you won’t be able to make it through the night.” Gao Haoyu said.

“In any case, among the many people in our town, only he has been there. No one is more knowledgeable than him.”

Gao Qiangkui looked at Lin Yi and Yan Ci.

“Do you think he can do it? Shall I call him over for you to check him out?”

“Sure, sure.”

In terms of choosing people, Yan Ci didn’t have many requirements. After all, this person would just cooperate with the recording of the show. He just had to be more natural and not be nervous.

As for whether this person’s nature was good or bad, she was not too worried.

After all, the audience would not focus on him.

Besides, it was not a big deal for him to go to a nightclub.

“I’ll call him now.”

Gao Haoyu took out his phone and dialed Zhang Heping’s number.

“Where are you? My dad is looking for you. Can you come over?”

“Don’t play for now. This is quite important. Come over quickly.”

“We’re in the backyard of Old Sun’s house. Come quickly.”

After finishing, Gao Haoyu hung up the phone.

“He’s playing pool in town. He’ll be here soon.”

“Sure.”

A few minutes later, a young man with dyed yellow hair walked in with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked to be in his early twenties and was not very old at all.

This person was the Zhang Heping that Gao Haoyu had mentioned.

In the entire town, he was the only man who had been to a bar.

Zhang Heping walked over like a hooligan. When he saw Yan Ci looking back at him, his expression instantly became anxious.

Although her aura was invisible, one could really feel it.

Yan Ci’s long legs alone made him so nervous that he could not even hold his cigarette properly.

“Hurry up and stand straight.”

Gao Qiangkui’s shout woke Zhang Heping up a lot.

“Uncle Gao, why were you looking for me?” Zhang Heping probed.

The sudden appearance of a beauty made Zhang Heping a little nervous. He felt that the reason why the mayor was looking for him today should be related to her.

“These two are the directors of a production team. They want to record a show in Happiness Village, and they need someone to cooperate with them. I’m going to recommend you.”

“Recommend me?” Zhang Heping took two steps back. “I don’t know anything other than illegal activites. Don’t tell me you’re looking for me to take part in a show?”

Lin Yi and Yan Ci were both amused.

It was obvious that he was a humorous person. He would be quite appropriate to take part in the show.

“What illegal activities? Don’t spout nonsense there.” Gao Qiangkui said.

“They want to record a show about rural life, but they need someone to work with them. My son said you’ve seen the world, so he recommended you.”

“If you say so, then I won’t be modest.” Zhang Heping straightened his back and said.

“After all, I’m the only person in our town who has been to Di Bar. The others really can’t compare to me.”

“Don’t just talk. Use all your skills. Coincidentally, the director is here too. If you perform well, they might hire you.”

“Are you serious?” Zhang Heping looked at Yan Ci and asked.

“Really,” Yan Ci replied with a smile.

“Then I’ll show you my talent.”

“What talent?”

“Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!

n

Lin Yi was speechless.

There was actually a n.o.ble hidden in this small Four Corner Town?

As expected of the hidden dragon of Four Corner Town. Now that even he had appeared, the phoenix fledgling should not be too far away.

When they learned that Zhang Heping was going to perform the Dancing Phoenix of the Nine Heavens, their expressions were different.

Lin Yi was surprised.

Yan Ci started looking forward to it.

Because she came from a scholarly family, she had no idea what the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens was.

Gao Qiangkui was confused.

What the h.e.l.l was Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens?

Great Yangge or the two of them?

Only Gao Haoyu had a pious expression on his face.

After half a year, Zhang Heping’s Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens was finally about to be revealed to the world.

“Don’t be anxious. In order to achieve a better effect, I need to prepare. My only regret is that the sky isn’t dark yet. Otherwise, the effect would be even better.”

“Don’t dawdle, kid. Be careful or I just might kick you.”

“Uncle Gao, don’t worry. I’m just pursuing perfection.” Zhang Heping stubbed out his cigarette. “Wait for me. I’ll bring the motorcycle over.”

“Why are you bringing the motorcycle here? I’m not asking you to perform stunts.”

“Don’t worry. Without the motorcycle, the impact of the act won’t be half as good.”

Zhang Heping did not explain further. He hurriedly ran out and pushed his second-hand electric scooter in.

Lin Yi and Yan Ci didn’t know what he wanted to do.

However, a few minutes later, Zhang Heping gave them the answer.

This was because there was a small speaker in the carrier of the electric scooter. When it was connected to the phone, the moving music made Lin Yi and Yan Ci dizzy.

“Don’t worry, I’m going to prepare some more props. It’ll start soon.”

After saying that, Zhang Heping ran to the kitchen. When he came back, there were no changes on his body. He did not have anything in his hands. Only the pockets of his pants were bulging, and there was a lot of white dust on the edge.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

When everything was ready, Zhang Heping cleared his throat.

“Is everything ready? I’m going to start the show.”

“I’m ready!” Gao Haoyu said excitedly.

Lin Yi glanced at him.

So, the phoenix chick was here.

Zhang Heping walked to his electric scooter and turned on the stereo again.

The ear-piercing DJ made Yan Ci confused again.

The lively music acted like a potion, plunging Zhang Heping into another state of melancholy.

“Radissonand folks, I’m MC Peace from Four Corner Town. Today, let me tell you that only a man who can dance the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens can be invincible!”

Zhang Heping reached into his pocket and raised the flour he took out from the kitchen into the air.

The scene was chaotic.

“Come on! Come on!

This was the cry of a phoenix chick.

At that moment, Zhang Heping’s expression was extremely aloof, resembling a n.o.bleman who had reached the end of his road, disdainfully looking at everything in the mortal world.

In the next moment, Zhang Heping made his move, leaping into his own rendition of the “Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens.”

First, he performed a slightly unorthodox moonwalk, followed by a flawless Thomas Flair, spinning in place two and a half times.

Zhang Heping lost himself amidst the pulsating music and the swirling flour.

It was as if the entire world was his stage, and he was the only performer.

With each move, he sought to validate his earlier words.

Only a man who could dance the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens could conquer all challenges.

Meanwhile, Yan Ci was left in awe.

She felt completely out of touch with current trends and fashion..
