Chapter 516 Exotic Customs

Chen Shuren looked at the woman in front of him with black hair, black eyes, wheat-colored skin, but with a face that was obviously "changed" to the standard face of Daxia.

At the first moment, Chen Shuren felt the love of Yizhou people for Daxia.

"Hello, I'm Chen Shuren, are you Rosalie Simon?"

"No, no, no, I'm not Rosalie Simon, I'm Luo Lijuan!"

Chen Shuren looked at the pick-up sign in Luo Lijuan's hand with a puzzled look.

Is there still someone named Chen Shuren?

At this moment, Tang Yingcheng whispered: "Rosalie Simon is a Yizhou name, Luo Lijuan is a Daxia name."

Chen Shuren then reacted and said to Luo Lijuan, who looked a little unswerving in front of him: "Oh, sorry, I forgot, Manager Luo, your name is really good."

After hearing Chen Shuren's apology, Luo Lijuan also praised her Daxia name, and finally smiled again on her face.

"Do you think so too? People in my company also think that my name is very good!"

"Let me tell you, my Luo is taken from the big surname Luo in Daxia, but in fact it is the same as the first character of my original name in Yizhou!"

"The same is true for Li. As for Juan, I looked it up in the dictionary. It means beautiful, beautiful, and graceful. I asked online. There are many Daxia names with Juan, such as Yajuan, Sujuan, Huijuan, etc..."

Chen Shuren and the other four stood at the entrance of the airport hall and listened to Luo Lijuan for five minutes.

In the end, Chen Tianran couldn't stand the heat anymore, so he said, "Sister Juan, how about we talk in the car?"

Luo Lijuan suddenly heard Chen Tianran call her Sister Juan, and her whole body trembled.

It's not that no one has called her Sister Juan, but how can it be as nice as Chen Tianran, a Qingzhou native?

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and get in the car. I don't even know your name yet."

Seeing Luo Lijuan suddenly standing in front of Chen Tianran and asking about his well-being, she took out a tissue to wipe Chen Tianran's sweat and carried Chen Tianran's bag. Chen Shuren and the others didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that Luo Lijuan likes little puppies?

Later in the car, Luo Lijuan talked all the way, from her own name, to the name of her children, and then to the dog at home, every aspect reflected her love for Daxia.

Chen Shuren thought that it might be because of this love that she became the general manager of Tianyu, and she has not been squeezed out by those people in the head office who want to make achievements.

From the airport to Tianyu Yizhou Branch, a total of two hours, Luo Lijuan talked for two hours.

Because her speech was too rhythmic, Chen Shuren, Shi Lei, and Tang Yingcheng fell asleep directly listening to her voice.

When they woke up again, they were at the door of the company.

"Are we there?"

Chen Shuren opened his eyes, stretched his body and was about to go out.

"We're here. Did you sleep well?"

"Very well!"

Chen Shuren was surprised, then turned his head and saw Chen Tianran's half-open eyes.

"You didn't sleep?"

"How did you sleep? Sister Juan talked to me all the way. Every time she was about to close her eyes, she would pat my arm when she was happy."

Chen Shuren almost laughed out loud when he heard Chen Tianran's words.

"Well, very well. It seems that you and Manager Luo get along well. If you want to do something in the future, you may have to trouble her."

Chen Shuren patted Chen Tianran's shoulder and said earnestly: "These are all connections!"

The four of them entered the building in front of them under the leadership of Luo Lijuan.

Tianyu Yizhou Branch occupies the eighth and ninth floors of this more than 30-story office building.

Speaking of which, this is the best-developed Tianyu branch that Chen Shuren has ever encountered except Yangzhou.

Luo Lijuan introduced all the way from the eighth floor to the ninth floor, and Chen Shuren also saw the situation of the Yizhou branch.

It is basically a smaller version of the Qingzhou headquarters.

It focuses more on music. There are not many people in other departments, but there are several people in charge.

The recording studio and other supporting facilities are not worse than those in Qingzhou, which surprised Chen Shuren.

"Mr. Luo, is the music scene in Yizhou developing well?"

After arriving at Luo Lijuan's office, Chen Shuren asked curiously.

In fact, he also did some research on the Internet, and Tang Yingcheng also collected some information, but after all, it was not his own experience. Whether it was really as said on the Internet, Chen Shuren felt that it was not certain.

Luo Lijuan took out a can of tea with the words Qingzhou Green Tea written on it and poured tea for several people.

"It is right to say that it is developing well, and it is also right to say that it is not developing well."

Then, Luo Lijuan explained the situation in Yizhou to several people.

There are many singers and fans in Yizhou, but if you have to define it, they are all niche singers and niche fans.

Because most of the singers in Yizhou sing songs in foreign languages, the fans are also very supportive. Almost as long as a singer has the ability to create, they will give some support.

Among them, the composer is also a person who is sought after by Yizhou fans.

As long as he can create a popular Yizhou song, then this composer can become a "first-line artist" in Yizhou. Although this "first-line" is not certified by Daxia, it is indeed a kind of recognition.

Even if someone's song can break out of Yizhou, even if it is only recognized by a small number of people in other states.

Then this person, even if he has a dark history in the past, can be forgiven.

Because in the eyes of Yizhou people, those who can contribute to the inheritance of Yizhou can forgive those dark histories!

Of course, the dark history here does not include crimes.

So, many people who made mistakes before and want to turn over all want to write a song that breaks out of Yizhou!

"What about Daxia songs? Are they not liked by Yizhou people?"

Shi Lei asked curiously.

"Of course not, Daxia songs are very popular in Yizhou, but as I said before, Yizhou people have different feelings for Yizhou songs."

At this point, Luo Lijuan looked at Chen Shuren.

"In fact, Consultant Chen already has a part of the fan base in Yizhou."

"Huh? Me?"

Chen Shuren was stunned. Could it be that Daxia has already relaxed the restrictions on Yizhou, and they can see the situation in many other states?

Just when Chen Shuren was guessing, Luo Lijuan played some of the songs that Chen Shuren had written before.

Chen Shuren didn't react at first, but when the Yizhou language mixed in the song came out, he understood.

Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.

"Consultant Chen, your songs are very nice. Many people who have been to Yizhou have praised you, but none of them can compare to the touching feeling you bring to Yizhou people by inserting lyrics of Yizhou in Daxia songs."

"There has never been a composer from other states who can write songs with lyrics of Yizhou so beautifully and be liked by most people in Daxia."

Luo Lijuan sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that we haven't joined the states yet, Consultant Chen, you would definitely be the most popular foreigner in Yizhou!"

Chen Shuren took a sip of tea from the teacup to cover up his embarrassment.

Fortunately, this topic passed quickly.

After talking about work, Chen Shuren and the other four went to the hotel suite.

The hotel was also arranged by Luo Lijuan.

After arriving at the hotel, the four of them washed up and met in the living room.

"Hey, along the way, our rate of returning heads is really high!"

Shi Lei said with some sighs.

From childhood to adulthood, he has only been paid attention to by so many people when he proposed and got married. He never received such treatment at other times.

"Do men from other states not have to worry about their lifelong affairs when they come to Yizhou?"

Tang Yingcheng smiled and said when he heard Shi Lei's words: "It should be true. Even if you are a little ugly, as long as you give birth to a child with the appearance of Daxia, they will worship you."

"Tsk~"

Shi Lei was shocked.

At this moment, Chen Tianran suddenly said: "How about we go to the street to find something to eat?"

"Are you hungry?"

Chen Shuren asked.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Hearing Chen Tianran's question, Chen Shuren felt that he could indeed go and take a look.

"Then let's go, just in time to see the exotic customs."

Chen Shuren's words attracted a burst of contempt.

But when the three of them went down, everyone's eyes did not leave the Yizhou women who came and went, wearing cool clothes.

"In fact, I think blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin are also good. Why do Yizhou people have to make us like this?"

When a pure and natural Yizhou girl who had not been "modified" walked past the four people, Chen Tianran suddenly said.

"Maybe what they are pursuing is not appearance, but a kind of recognition?"

Tang Yingcheng said casually.

"Recognition?"

Chen Tianran was thoughtful.

After hearing what Tang Yingcheng said, Shi Lei on the side also sighed: "If you live like others for the so-called recognition, I think it's too tiring and not worth it."

Shi Lei's words are also what the other people think.

But different positions see different things.

In the eyes of foreigners, getting recognition is more important than living freely.

…

The four walked for more than ten minutes before stopping at an open-air barbecue stall similar to a food stall on the side of the road.

After sitting down, except for Chen Shuren, everyone ordered a large glass of draft beer.

"Brother, what are you doing? Drinking juice instead of alcohol?"

Chen Tianran looked at Chen Shuren's glass of juice and said in surprise.

Faced with this question, Chen Shuren glanced at Tang Yingcheng and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, singers need to protect their voices and can't drink."

"Forget it, how many bottles did you and your dad drink during the New Year? I'll order you another one."

As soon as Chen Tianran raised his hand, he was blocked by Chen Shuren.

"No, I really don't drink."

Chen Tianran looked weird, but didn't say anything else.

After a while, the barbecue was served.

Although it was not as delicious as Yanzhou's, it was quite flavorful.

The four of them ate and chatted, and the slightly humid wind of Yizhou after night fell, and they felt a little comfortable for a while.

"I have to say, Yizhou is really good at night."

After Chen Tianran finished a skewer, he leaned back in his chair and said swayingly.

"Linhai area is indeed a little different from Qingzhou and Yangzhou."

Just as the four were chatting, there was a sudden noise.

Turning his head, he saw a young man holding a guitar and playing the stereo, who had just walked to the barbecue stall.

Seeing the other people at the barbecue stall acting as if they were used to it, they didn't know if it was a regular show or something like street singing.

Then, the young man's singing started. Chen Shuren and the other four didn't react much, but the foreigners around them were very happy to hear it.

When the song ended, everyone at the barbecue stall applauded.

As Luo Lijuan said, foreigners have goodwill towards all singers who sing foreign songs.

In fact, when they applauded just now, Chen Shuren and the other four were just being polite, and everyone else was applauding.

But after they applauded, they found that the foreigners around them were much more enthusiastic towards them.

The table next door even raised a draft beer glass to signal to them.

Later, Chen Shucai figured out that these foreigners were very concerned about the reactions of these four foreigners.

They applauded, which meant that they did not reject songs in foreign languages.

Not rejecting is recognizing.

How could this make them unhappy?

Later, Chen Shuren and others also adapted to the program at the barbecue stall.

After a few songs, Chen Shuren and the four of them had almost finished eating.

Just when Chen Shuren was thinking about whether to go back, an unshaven man suddenly rushed out from a seat at the barbecue stall.

The man staggered up to the young man, took out a handful of Daxia coins from his pocket, and gave it to the young man.

Then, with thanks from the young man, he returned to his table.

Chen Shuren could tell from the wine bottles on the table that this man had probably drank a lot.

Suddenly, the sound of conversation coming from behind attracted Chen Shuren's attention.

"It's him again, how many days does he come every month?"

"Yes, it is said that he will come here to eat and drink every month after being paid, and then reward the singer. No matter who sings, he will reward him."

"Doesn't he have a family?"

"If so, why would he be like this? He is also a miserable person."

"But the owner of this restaurant is quite nice. He always gives him more food."

Chen Shuren didn't mean to listen, but the people who spoke were sitting behind him and could hear him with their backs leaning on their chairs.

From a few people's words, Chen Shuren also understood some of that man's experience.

It seems that since he was a teenager, that man has lost his loved ones one after another.

Father, mother, brother.

At first, after his parents passed away, the man still worked hard to make money and support his broken family for the sake of his younger brother.

But when his younger brother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away six months later, the man could no longer hold on.

I still go to work, but most of my monthly salary is spent on this barbecue stall where the family used to come to every gathering.

Chen Shuren sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

There is too much suffering in this world.

But he is not God, he can only save himself.

"Let's go, eat well!"

Chen Tianran proposed to leave, and Tang Yingcheng and Shi Lei did not refuse.

Just when Shi Lei finished paying the bill and was about to leave, Chen Shuren didn't move.

"Brother, let's go!"

Chen Tianran shouted. Seeing that Chen Shuren seemed to be in a daze, he walked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Shuren looked at Chen Tianran and touched his head.

"Nothing, I want to sing a song. Do you want to hear it?"

Chen Tianran didn't know why, but nodded anyway.

Chen Shuren turned around and walked towards the young man who had just finished singing a song.

When the people at the barbecue stall saw that a pure out-of-towner seemed to be singing, they all clapped and cheered crazily.

At this time, Chen Tianran and three others also returned to their seats.

Although Tang Yingcheng didn't know what happened, he had already taken out his phone and turned on the video recording function.
