84: Chapter 84 I Want to Form a Group
After a blushing seafood feast, things on Rou Rou's end wrapped up as well.
With Zhang Shan's "Love Rockets" flooding the screen, Rou Rou easily took first place.
After chatting briefly with Rou Rou, Zhang Shan learned that because she was a newcomer and had just joined the Cute Girl Group, she wouldn't be participating in her company's Guild Competition.
During the chat, Rou Rou also mentioned that Dian Dian and Gao Gao from her group would be participating in the Guild Competition, and the others would go as guest performers.
Only she, having joined too late, had no arrangements, so she took two days off to come over and thank Brother Qingshan in person.
Rou Rou: "Brother, can I come see you tomorrow night?"
Seeing Rou Rou's message, Zhang Shan did a quick mental calculation and found he was free tomorrow night.
Having experienced so much, Zhang Shan had gotten used to it.
This kind of life was perhaps going to be his daily routine from now on.
Sigh, it was just going to be tough on his brothers down there.
Thinking about how he would have to welcome "paratroopers" from all over the country every day.
Zhang Shan suddenly felt like he hadn't eaten enough oysters earlier.
Qingshan: "Sure. I'm in Shengtian. Once you've booked your flight, let me know, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
Rou Rou: "That's great! I can finally see you, Brother. I'm so excited."
Qingshan: "Haha, I hope you won't be disappointed when the time comes."
Rou Rou: "How could I be? I'm going to be thrilled just to see you, Brother."
Qingshan: "Alright, it's settled then."
Rou Rou: "Mm-hmm."
When Duorou saw Zhang Shan put down his phone, she immediately leaned in.
"Brother Shan, I feel better now. Let's go for a stroll; I'm actually a bit stuffed from dinner."
Zhang Shan glanced at Duorou and thought to himself: Stuffed? More like you haven't eaten enough.
Who could go to a night market and resist the urge to eat?
"Fine. Are you sure you're okay? Don't get downstairs and find you can't walk—I'm not carrying you."
Hearing Zhang Shan say this, Duorou immediately stretched out her long legs and walked a couple of circles in front of him.
"Brother Shan, look, I'm really fine."
Women truly are made of water; they recover so quickly.
Seeing that Duorou's gait was normal, Zhang Shan didn't waste any more words.
Since she wanted to go for a stroll, they would go.
It just so happened that he also felt he hadn't eaten enough oysters earlier.
Getting a late-night snack wouldn't be bad either.
"Shall we go then?"
"Let's go, let's go! Brother Shan, I'll help you put on your clothes."
The two of them got dressed and went downstairs to the night market, looking at the sea of people and smelling the various aromas in the air.
Zhang Shan and Duorou exchanged a glance, held hands, and squeezed into the crowd.
"Mmm, Brother Shan, this is delicious. You have to try it."
"Hey, Brother Shan, this is also not bad. Try it."
"Oh, this looks really tasty. Brother Shan, I want to try this."
"..."
The two of them ate while walking and walked while eating, continuing until 11:00 PM.
"Wuwu, I can't eat anymore, wuwu." Duorou held a box of grilled cold noodles, eating and crying at the same time.
"Wait, why are you crying while eating?" Zhang Shan asked, taking the box from Duorou's hands.
"It's too delicious. Brother Shan, you don't know what it feels like for a child away from home to taste the authentic flavor of their hometown."
"Alright, alright. Is it really worth crying over a box of grilled cold noodles?"
"But such delicious food, if I can't finish it, it'll go to waste. Wuwu."
"Fine, I'll eat it for you."
Zhang Shan was speechless; he really couldn't understand women's emotions.
After finishing the remaining grilled cold noodles in a few bites, Zhang Shan checked the time and said, "Let's go, time to head back."
"Mm."
Rou Rou gripped Zhang Shan's hand tighter and agreed obediently.
The two returned to the hotel; it was nearly 12:00. After washing up, they went straight to rest.
Zhang Shan had been running around all day and was a bit tired. If not for his cheat, a normal person would probably have had jelly legs by now.
Duorou, lying beside Zhang Shan, had been secretly nervous for a long time, only to realize she had overthought it.
Brother Shan really knows how to be considerate.
Duorou thought happily, soon drifting off to sleep.
The next day.
At 8:00 AM, Duorou opened her eyes, feeling groggy.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Shan, who was still fast asleep, a flash of tenderness in her eyes.
Watching the sleeping Zhang Shan, she suddenly realized Brother Shan looked quite cute when he was asleep.
Duorou propped herself up and sat up, the quilt sliding off her shoulders to reveal her snow-white skin.
She didn't mind at all and, lowering her head, began to carefully size up Zhang Shan.
Looking at Zhang Shan's handsome face, Duorou couldn't help but think to herself.
Such a young, handsome, wealthy man who was also capable and knew how to be considerate—he must be the Prince Charming of many women's dreams.
It was a pity, though, that he was too much of a playboy.
But being able to meet Brother Shan could also be considered her luck.
The more she looked, the more her heart fluttered; she couldn't help but lean in closer.
"Mmm..."
Zhang Shan felt his face itch, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Duorou stealing a kiss.
"Hey, you little enchantress."
"You actually dared to take advantage of this master when he wasn't looking to drain his magical power."
"Where are you running to? Surrender immediately!"
Zhang Shan grabbed hold of Duorou, who was trying to escape.
"Today, I'll let you taste what it means to have a boundless ocean and infinite power."
After Taoist Zhang dealt with this little enchantress, he got up, looking refreshed.
After breakfast, Zhang Shan arranged for a private driver to take Duorou to the airport.
Afterward, he arrived at the 24th floor of the building, which, compared to yesterday, had completely changed in appearance.
With the funds available, the renovation crew had arrived early in the morning, banging and clattering as they demolished everything.
They had torn down the original room partitions and such, leaving only two offices...
Mu Qingwan, who was supervising the site, saw Zhang Shan approaching and immediately walked up to greet him.
"Boss, you're here."
"Mm. How long will it take to finish the renovation?"
"Reporting to the boss, the renovation itself should be finished in about a month. However, installing and testing the equipment will also take some time. To be fully operational, it will take at least 50 days."
"It takes that long?"
"Yes, Boss. This is already the fastest speed possible, unless..."
It meant he had to pay more, right?
Although Mu Qingwan didn't say it, Zhang Shan knew exactly what she meant.
As long as the money is there, it can be done in minutes.
"Fine. After everything is done, can we start broadcasting?"
There was no other choice; his pockets were empty, so he had to reluctantly accept what Mu Qingwan said.
"You can rest assured about that. The streamers and all the backstage staff are already being recruited simultaneously. Whether it's streamers or staff, we're offering very generous compensation, so there will absolutely be no problem recruiting people," Mu Qingwan said quite confidently.
With the boss around, the company wasn't afraid of not making money, let alone worrying about operating costs.
"That's good. However, the quality of the streamers must be strictly controlled," Zhang Shan said, looking at Mu Qingwan seriously.
"Don't worry, Boss. We've made this a hard requirement: the streamers must have a beauty score of at least 70, and their figure score must exceed 80."
Mu Qingwan glanced at Zhang Shan as she spoke and then continued: "Boss, we've also planned a live-streaming talent show called 'I Want to Form a Group'. Following the talent show format, we will select 100 people from open auditions to participate in the 'I Want to Form a Group' training camp. We will then divide these 100 people into 20 training groups and arrange for dance and music teachers to provide professional training. The content of the training camp will be broadcast live throughout. The rankings from each daily, weekly, and monthly exam will be their report cards. Finally, we will select the best 7 people to form a T0-level girl group, enjoying the company's top-tier resources for development. The others will be formed into T1 and T2-level girl groups based on their results, enjoying key resource support from the company."
After hearing Mu Qingwan's plan, Zhang Shan's eyes lit up immediately.
"Well done, you deserve praise."
Talent shows are great. Becoming King Zhou... *Ahem*.
