The rich man and the poor man

Chapter 34 Gooseberries

That day, as soon as the car arrived at the underground parking lot, Han Fu and Fat Brother were hurriedly dragged upstairs by the program staff.

Pei Zhen took Yu Wenzhe to the studio to wait for the scene from the elevator on the other side.

……

Inside the elevator, three sides are smooth and flat mirror surfaces.Pei Zhen frowned and took a look inside—the casual suit was carefully matched by Han Fu before he left the house, and the hairstyle was made by Han Fu for him.

Young people's craftsmanship and aesthetics are better. The man in the reflection is definitely a few degrees more handsome than usual, not decadent at all, shiny, like him but not like him.

It was in stark contrast to the bun face beside him...

Pei Zhen didn't understand, Yu Wenzhe is such a handsome and cute boy, why doesn't he shave all day long?

With a huge schoolbag on his back and a thick cowhide book in his hand, he looks like a college student who is fully armed and preparing for a postgraduate entrance examination!I didn't feel it when we were facing each other just now, but now I look in the mirror, the bag happens to be bulging army green.

The whole person threw a pestle at that innocent person, like a little turtle with a bun face that couldn't stand upright under the weight of a big shell.

Just as he was thinking, the turtle shell poked him.Incredibly hard!

"Brother Pei, sorry, sorry!"

Pei Zhen: "What's in your bag?"

Yu Wenzhe panicked: "Uh, pens, notebooks, laptops!"

Pei Zhen: "..."

Are you talking about one thing, or three things?

"Also, casual filming is not allowed in the studio, so I also brought a recording pen. I will record everything the instructors said and go home to study hard!"

Alright alright.After confirming the eyes, it is the person who came to Xuexiang!

"Brother Pei, you today..." Yu Wenzhe shrank back to the corner of the elevator consciously, to ensure that his big tortoise shell would not casually hurt the innocent, and then said cautiously, "It seems to be different from usual."

Pei Zhen: "What's the difference?"

"I can't tell," Yu Wenzhe said shyly with a smile, "In short, I feel that Brother Pei is in a good mood today."

Pei Zhen silently blushed.

He also knows that he has been a little drifting lately, but he didn't expect to be so drifting that others would notice it?

Of course the mood is good, how can it be bad.

It's like a plant that is about to die, but it can grow vigorously immediately after encountering a rain.The same is true for people, no matter how lacking in love before, once you meet someone who is willing to take care of you and feed you...

well.What are you thinking.

Subconsciously, he moved the ring finger of his left hand.

Ever since my fingers became empty, I couldn't get used to it.

At this moment, there was an inexplicable illusion, as if, as if there was something invisible, instead of the ring, wrapped around his finger, giving him a steady stream of small energy.

With such a little energy, walking is a bit windy, just like driving invincible, fearless.

……

Of course Pei Zhen was mentally prepared, he might encounter some bad things when he came to PA to watch the game.

If possible, he also wants to lie down quietly at home and pet the cat, instead of coming here to face other people's stares, pointing gossip, and even possible ridicule and embarrassment.

Moreover, she doesn't really want to see Yi Changqing.

But in the end, what should be faced is always to be faced.

If you want to overcome all obstacles and return to the journey, you must not be afraid.

What's more, he now has plenty of ways to comfort himself.It's very simple - no matter what you encounter here, as long as you think about it for a while and see the sweet little wolf dog running out of the backstage, all the bitterness and hatred will disappear.

Of course, Pei Zhen is also clear.A relationship started from "nurture", in essence...it's unreasonable.

There will inevitably be problems in the future, and in the end it may only be a short-lived little happiness.But this does not affect him now, as long as he takes a look at the little wolf dog from a distance, he will uncontrollably emerge from the bottom of his heart the little affection that can only be found in literary films.

I feel cute, want to watch him all the time, want to protect him.

——"All kinds of tenderness come to my heart".

……

Entering the studio, you can clearly see that on one side are twelve brand-new, clean and white fragrance counters in three rows and four rows prepared by the twelve knockout contestants, and on the other side are seats for instructors and a whole row of seats for judges.

The audience seats are scattered on both sides of the arena.

Yu Wenzhe's location card says j-15.Pei Zhen helped him find a rough place, row j, a back row in a corner.

Yu Wenzhe: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm already satisfied with a seat!"

Pei Zhen lowered his head again, and looked at the number on his hand, Lan Rui VIP seat, a-1?

Why, there is a kind of... ominous premonition.

The location of a-1 is indeed the gorgeous first row.Facing Belle and the Cranberries in the back row, there is a big sponsor Lan Rui advertising balloon above the head. When it is broadcast, it is probably not surprising that it will be continuously brought to the camera.

The location is definitely the best and most conspicuous seat in the venue, not one of them.

Pei Zhen: "..."

Also, it was extremely close to the judges' seat.

From the leftmost tutor chair, visually, the straight-line distance... is no more than two meters?

PA has three tutors in total, so there are also three tutor chairs, each of which has the tutor's name engraved in advance, in very beautiful gold seal script.Pei Zhen glanced roughly at the name on the nearest one...

Sure enough, hehe.

How are you doing this day?This day can't be passed!

"Baozi, let's change seats?"

Yu Wenzhe blushed, and immediately shook his head desperately. Although position a-1 has a good location and a great view, it is too high-profile. Sitting here, how can you calm down and study hard?

Just as he was about to say something, the people from Lan Rui swarmed up, "Mr. Pei!" "President Pei, a big client, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Pei Zhen actually didn't know any of them, and he wasn't a big client, so he could only passively shake hands with that group of enthusiastic people throughout the whole process.By the time he realized it, he had already been pushed into his seat. Not only was he seated, but Baozilian was also seated on a-2 next to him.

He also wears a blue peppermint mascot hat of Lanhui on his head.

Innocently, with a bewildered look.

"..." Pei Zhen turned his head to look at the seat in front of Baozilian.A staff member of Lan Rui was sitting there, and waved his hand in a generous manner of "don't worry about me, just keep sitting."

This……

Such a big and bright company is really rare now.

"Ah, Brother Pei, the mentor is here! Look, it's Zhu Su, Ye Zhenyi and Yi Changqing!" Just as he was thinking, Yu Wenzhe tugged on his cuff excitedly, and then the entire auditorium began to erupt in joy.

The lights flickered, and the official recording of the program officially started.The front door opened slowly, and the three super-looking instructors dressed in shiny suits and red skirts made their debut amidst applause and cheers.

Yi Changqing was the busiest, and was followed while walking, probably already in the live broadcast, explaining some rules of the competition system to the online audience.

One second, two seconds, getting closer and closer, and the sights finally meet.

The astonishment flashed across the amber eyes, and Pei Zhen didn't know what expression to put on at this moment.

Didn't expect that?

Not only did you not expect, I also did not expect such a day to come.

……

It can only be said that in this world, there are many moments and stories that are magical, both magical and realistic.

Pei Zhen and his good friend Mai Zixi grew up together and graduated from the same high school.I remember that there were two delinquent girls in his class back then, who robbed the same boy for three years, got into a ball every time in the classroom, and slashed each other with stools and legs outside the classroom, which is well known to everyone.

But later, when I was in my 20s, I met again at the wedding of a common classmate, but one party was gentle and elegant, and the other party had a long skirt and hair, talking softly, talking and laughing happily eating and drinking.

Shuangshuang seems to have selectively forgotten the turbulent years of pulling hair and tearing up.

In the same situation, putting him here now is basically the same.

There are so many "stories" between them, so many tangles, so many unbearable things, but they just sit so close to each other.You are calm and calm, and I will keep silent.

……

Of course, Pei Zhen knew that if the two of them didn't mention this matter, there would be some good people who couldn't help but want to mention it.

He just looked back casually, and sure enough, he caught a familiar face pointing in the back row and whispering.

But in his sweeping sight, he immediately changed his face and kept silent, with a pitiful expression of "please let me go" and "don't dare again".

Pei Zhen was a little surprised, the other party seemed... quite afraid of him?

But what's so scary about him?

When I looked up, the brand balloon on my head flicked and bounced with a smile.That's right, it turned out that he was afraid of "Lan Rui".

After all, Pei Zhen met Mr. Lan Rui Han, and he always thought that he was just a common rich and self-willed man.

But the rumors in the industry are really magical, all kinds of "black and white take all", all kinds of stories about "making your family ruined" for friends and pets, are shocking and have eyes.

Alas, I really don't know those people in the back, and Yi Changqing who is two meters away... Now in my heart, I am trying to guess how he and Lan Rui are related.

With his age and "look", he can't be misunderstood as Mr. Han's new Britney, right?

But in any case, this position is really cool.Even the few cameras in the studio thought he was some kind of big shot, and the cameras kept patting.

Pei Zhen was helpless, so he wouldn't block his face.He simply broke the jar, raised the little orchid mint essence doll on the table, and shook it generously at the camera with a smile.

...Good or bad, whatever comes is welcome.

Alas~ I miss his little wolf dog.

After staying in the background for so long, it's time to come out?

……

Han Fu and Fat Brother left together through the side door a few minutes later.

Along the way, according to the requirements of the program group, the live commentary is also recorded.

The main reason is that the fat guy is in charge of saying—although he was very reluctant just now, he was shaved off by the stylist and put on a small bow tie. He went from being a pig-killing rough guy to being smooth like a perfect glutinous rice ball in an instant. .

Fat Brother is really talented.Not only can you sell, but you also have no pressure on the camera.

At the moment, she is helping Belle and Cranberries read commercials with the extraordinary speed of a professional anchor.He also made up a rhetoric on the spot, the gag effect was max, and the beautiful staff next to him holding the mobile phone couldn't close their mouths.

Relatively speaking, Han Fu is very relaxed.

During the whole process, he was only responsible for showing off his appearance, and occasionally made a joke, and spent the rest of the time trying to search for his family in the auditorium.

Pei Zhen felt that sometimes he was quite contradictory.

Obviously I missed the little wolf dog so much just now, and I was really happy when I saw him come out, I wanted him to look at my side quickly, but when I really looked over, I immediately winked across the air seriously: Don't look, we two I don't know you outside!

Han Fu let out a "woo" and could only caress the little ring secretly.

Well, since I can't see Zhenzhen...

As soon as he turned his gaze, he naturally fell on Yi Changqing, his love rival.

Huh, the seats are so close together.

Hmph, someone is putting on a show as usual today.

Wait... ha ha ha.I can't wait to rush over and ask Yi Changqing: "Did you offend the stylist?"

Otherwise, how could the stylist take revenge on the society and put you in such a pink-orange, weird and strange suit?

Han Fu didn't know what other men would look like wearing this outfit, anyway, Yi Changqing couldn't hold on to his anger.Standing next to the god-level handsome Zhu Su, who was dressed in a diamond-embellished black suit and was called "Three-Dimensional Sephiroth" by Internet people, he was instantly blown away.

Should!

Poking secretly, he took another peek at his own Zhenzhen.

Oh, how handsome you look~

Such a handsome man, why did he have such bad eyesight when he was young, can he fall in love with him?

……

Soon, probably less than 10 minutes.

Han Fu can no longer be filled with love and hatred!

With the lighting and sound effects, the huge back door with the pa logo opened suddenly, and a large group of players from Wuyang Wuyang swarmed in, excited and jumping for joy. There were so many people that they couldn't see their faces clearly.

The bloody elimination of the violent storm that was called "refining Gu" by the fat brother officially started.

Han Fu tried his best to keep an eye on them, and managed to locate Yi Changkong, Fu Yao, and several other faces he had seen during the audition.

There are many others, they should all be qualified contestants in foreign auditions, in general... there are all kinds of people, everyone.

Some are still dressed normally, and some are in the wrong place, how do you think they went to the wrong place--a short man in a blue suit with a red bow, driving small glasses and pretending to be Conan?A strange female costume boss in a bunny costume?There are even uncles in suspenders dressed up as "We workers have power", and there is even an old lady with silver hair and red high heels?

Not far away, "Brother Poisonous Grass" Zhu Su was facing the camera, conscientiously explaining:

"As you can see, all the contestants who are coming in now are the contestants who have passed through various auditions across the country. Everyone is smiling and accepting the cheers of the audience. Infinite hope."

"It's a pity that in the next two hours," he narrowed his eyes, "90% of the people here will stop abruptly outside the gate of their dreams. If you laugh so much now, you may have to cry a lot in a while awful."

"It's realistic and cruel, but what to do?"

"This is the real pa."

The lights flickered again, and the entire venue fell silent.Even the air seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees.

Brother Poison Grass stepped down from the instructor's stage, walked straight in front of Han Fu and Fat Brother, and walked to the back door where all the contestants were huddling together and looking at him like they were idols.

The corners of his lips curled up evilly, and he raised his right hand.

In his hand, he was holding a plump, yellow-orange orange.

"As you can see, it's a little tangerine."

The contestants all laughed, and he smiled too. The overhead camera shot from the side, flashing a multicolored halo.

"It's just an orange, but it will change the fate of at least half of you."

"If you want to be the best perfumer, you can't just rely on the finished essential oils provided by others. One of the most basic skills in perfumery is to handle the raw materials yourself-so, the first of the three knockout rounds, the most basic assessment My skill is 'Orange Peel Essential Oil Extraction'!"

"Each person has only one chance. Whether to buy a ticket to go home immediately, or to stay and compete for the international qualification for the PA competition, a small citrus will be a turning point in your life."

When he said this, the staff behind him had rolled out dozens of temporary fragrance mixers one after another. With one order, the contestants frantically occupied their own booths.

On each table, there is only one citrus, and some of the simplest purification vessels and materials.

"The time is 10 minutes," Zhu Su raised her wrist gracefully, "Now, let's begin!"

In an instant, the studio was filled with the sweet smell of sliced ​​oranges and the blunt sound of knives on the cutting board.

Zhu Su's roar pierced through the silence of the studio at the same time.

"Wash first! Wash carefully with running water!"

"It's not the first time to handle citrus. Who taught you to handle it without washing it? Crazy!"

Then, with long legs, he wore a black suit and shuttled among the contestants, turning on the manic and vicious tongue mode.

"Use the pressing method! Soak it first! It's only half an hour, and you don't have to think about it. Is there still time to do it slowly by distillation or other methods?"

"You! Who told you to soak it in lime water!"

"Using lime water requires pre-soaking for more than ten hours. Think about it, do you have that kind of time? Who else! If you don't even know the basics of this level, pack your things and go home now!"

After the promised half an hour, but only 10 minutes had passed, Zhu Su suddenly stretched out his hand and asked a player to stop.

"Okay, you have been eliminated, please leave the arena."

The man's eyes immediately turned red: "I, I can still do it, and, can you give me another orange, I promise this time..."

Zhu Su shook his head and looked at the broken tangerines on his table: "It's ready. Go home and practice the basic skills. Come back next year."

The man cried: "I'm so nervous, I really know how to handle citrus, I usually handle it well..."

Zhu Su: "Everyone! Drain the water and then press it. There is no time for the water to evaporate naturally. There are materials on the table, so you can figure out how to do it yourself!"

"Use the pulverizer to set the crushing diameter carefully, too small or too big will not work! And think about it, what should be used to filter the water-oil mixture? It's just one citrus per person, there is no chance for you to be stupid!"

"You! Come out too! Don't do it again, all your raw materials are useless, and you can't make it!"

"And you! Eliminate!"

Shrouded in such a series of white terrors, almost all the contestants began to panic and tremble.

Where Zhu Su passed by, everyone was in danger and scared like a chicken.I was afraid that he would suddenly pick it up and say "Enough, you have already been eliminated".

……

After pa officially enters the knockout round, according to regulations, the instructor can no longer eliminate players without authorization.

The 12 finalists will go through a very fair expert scoring system, and compete for the final champion fairly at the rate of one person eliminated in one episode.

But today's selection, because of too many people, seemed very rough.

Any one of the three mentors has a vote of life and death, and can let any player who he considers "unqualified" leave the field at any time.

After Zhu Su, the only female mentor, Ye Zhenyi, with a flash of red dress, followed suit.

Everyone became even more trembling and silent. At this moment, Zhu Su caught another girl, who immediately burst into tears.

Zhu Su: "Don't cry, this orange in your hand must want to cry more than you. Really, don't let the innocent orange suffer with you, come again next time."

The lack of sympathy made the girl cry even worse.

Fortunately, Ye Zhenyi didn't come here to add insult to injury, so he comforted the girl, and when Zhu Su was about to eliminate another contestant, he raised objections, saying that he would like to observe for a few more minutes.

Zhu Su didn't mind either, and continued to unleash terror all over the place: "Seriously, carefully! Don't waste raw materials! Rather slow, don't make mistakes, and don't cut your own hands. Hey, that one over there, just said don't cut your hands?"

"Okay, you, stop."

As soon as he turned around, he picked up the little man in glasses dressed as Conan.

"Thank you for participating, don't do it," Zhu Su said blankly, "You have passed this round, go directly to the promotion seat and wait for the second round."

The little man almost didn't cry in fright, but when he heard that he was "qualified" as if he was going to be amnesty, he was so excited that he almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly clutched his heart, stumbled and put down the orange to enjoy the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Soon, a few more players came out, either eliminated, or determined to advance.

"Hey, even Yi Changkong's hand speed is so slow, you can pass it?" Fat Brother disapproved, "If you, Fat Brother, I go up, I will definitely be the first to pass!"

He didn't get the flattery he expected, so the fat brother turned his head and gave Han Fu a strange look.

"Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Han Fu was still smiling, trembling.

"They... like that, I, I..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, like a broken little robot.

Fat Brother: "No, why are you so nervous? We've already been escorted, haven't we?"

It was guaranteed, that's right...

However, after seeing these contestants making orange peel essential oil, Han Fu suddenly didn't know why he was qualified to stand here.

Many contestants who were stamped "disqualified" by Zhu Su were pretty good in his opinion.Obviously every step is in order, and I can't see what went wrong at all, so how can I be eliminated?

If it were him cutting oranges over there, no matter how clumsy he was, wouldn't... be picked up by Zhu Su and say "Get lost"?

So many people, each one is very strong.

He even boasted to Zhen Zhen that he was going to win!

How to win?With such a group of big bulls, the last remaining Gu worms and overlords entered the top [-]. How can they win!

……

Pei Zhen sat in the auditorium, watching Han Fu from afar.

A little funny, but also a little distressed.

He forgot to give Gouzi a high-energy warning in advance, and the poor Gouzi was frightened silly.

The father's love, which has not been online for a long time, flooded directly, and he wanted to quickly pull the silly dog ​​back into his arms to hug and rub him.

Actually, it wasn't as cruel as the little wolf dog thought.
