Chapter 108 Annual Variety Show
Chapter 108 Annual Variety Show
Two hours later, the plane slowly landed at Ningzhou Airport in Lanzhou Province.
Jiang Songchu took off her blindfold and earplugs, stretched, and felt refreshed despite spending the time in a virtual study room.
"We've finally arrived in Ningzhou!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Chen Yun smiled and nodded: "Yes, Aman has already booked a hotel near the TV station in advance, so we can just go there directly."
After getting off the plane, they found the driver sent by Hongtian Entertainment's branch office to pick them up in the parking lot.
The driver, dressed in a neat suit and smiling, politely opened the car door for them.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Songchu admired the night view of Ningzhou City through the car window.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "The night view here is absolutely stunning!"
Chen Yun nodded in agreement: "That's right, the night view of Ningzhou is indeed very charming, but after seeing it for a while, it still makes me want to go back to the countryside, haha."
The driver, overhearing their conversation, chimed in, "The reason Ningzhou City has such a high GDP is not only because it is the capital of Landong Province, but more importantly because its infrastructure is very developed."
"Look, those tall buildings and busy traffic arteries are all symbols of Ningzhou's economic prosperity."
Jiang Songchu looked in the direction the driver pointed and saw tall buildings standing in the night, with colorful neon lights illuminating the entire city.
Even the moon in the sky seemed somewhat dim in the face of this dazzling city.
"Moreover, the Ningzhou municipal government has always attached great importance to innovation and technological development."
The driver continued, "There are many high-tech companies and R&D centers here, which attract a lot of talent and investment."
"This is also one of the important reasons why Ningzhou's economy has been able to continue to prosper."
Jiang Song listened with great interest, and she began to feel the charm and vitality of Ningzhou City.
As night deepened, Ningzhou City outside the car window remained brightly lit and bustling with activity.
A dazzling array of billboards twinkled in the night sky, seemingly telling the story of the city's prosperity and glory.
On the busy thoroughfares, vehicles flowed endlessly; amidst the bustling crowds, laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.
Jiang Songchu could clearly feel the pulse of the city—a rhythm full of life and vitality.
The driver parked the car smoothly in front of the hotel, politely opened the car door for them, left the car keys with Oman, and then left.
The hotel lights looked especially warm in the night, as if welcoming the three of them back home.
After checking in, Jiang Songchu's gaze lingered on the corridor decorations for a moment before they headed towards the elevator together.
Jiang Songchu suddenly remembered her previous experience staying in Kyoto. She turned to Chen Yun, who was standing next to her, and asked her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Sister Yun, is this hotel also owned by the Xie family?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun smiled and teased, "Yes, your Xie family is truly wealthy and powerful, even owning such a luxurious hotel."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "So, does that mean I can benefit from the Xie family wherever I go?"
Chen Yun gently patted her shoulder, her tone serious.
"However, the reason we didn't go to the house prepared by the Xie family this time is because this hotel is in a more convenient location."
"Look, it's not far from Landong TV Station. You can come back and rest right away after you finish recording the program, which will save you the trouble of traveling back and forth. It's so convenient."
"Furthermore, since it is Xie family's own property, we can be more at ease about security."
After hearing this, Jiang Songchu nodded: "I see. Sister Yun and Aman are very thoughtful."
At that moment, with a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened, and the three stepped into the spacious and bright elevator car.
As the numbers kept changing, the elevator slowly rose and finally stopped at the top floor of the hotel.
Jiang Songchu stayed in a luxurious suite, which was spacious and comfortable, and it was especially convenient for the three of them to stay together.
They put down their luggage and tidied up the room briefly.
I had just sat down when the doorbell rang.
Jiang Songchu frowned in confusion. Who could it be at this time?
Chen Yun walked over and opened the door, where a waiter was standing, carrying several exquisite lunch boxes.
"So it was the late-night snack that Aman ordered that arrived," Chen Yun said to Jiang Songchu with a smile.
Aman took the late-night snacks from the waiter and placed them on the table one by one.
Jiang Songchu then realized that she hadn't eaten much along the way.
She ate a sandwich on her way to the airport, but it didn't taste very good, and she only ate a few bites before putting it down.
Aman specially chose a bowl of red bean and red date soup for Jiang Songchu because she knew that Jiang Songchu hadn't eaten much on the plane and that her period had just ended, so she needed to replenish her energy.
"Songchu, come and try this red bean and red date soup. I specially chose it for you," Aman called out to Jiang Songchu.
Jiang Songchu walked to the dining table and looked at the steaming, fragrant bowl of red bean and jujube soup, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She glanced gratefully at Aman, then picked up a spoon and gently scooped a spoonful into her mouth.
Jiang Songchu walked to the dining table and looked at the steaming, fragrant red bean and jujube soup, feeling extremely warm inside.
She picked up the spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The sweet but not cloying taste made her exclaim in admiration.
"Mmm, it's delicious!"
"Aman, you're so thoughtful, thank you Aman!!"
The three sat together, eating and chatting, sharing recent events.
After finishing their meal, they washed up and lay down on their soft beds, drifting off into sweet dreams.
The next morning, after enjoying a simple but nutritious breakfast, the three drove to Landong TV Station.
On the way, Chen Yun explained the relevant matters about "The Splendid Dance" to Jiang Songchu again.
"As the annual variety show of Landong TV, 'The Dance of Splendor' attracts countless eyes every time it is recorded."
"This is the sixth season already, so the competition is definitely going to be even fiercer."
"The entire variety show mainly involves selecting contestants through multiple rounds of auditions, gradually eliminating them."
"The recording of this program will be divided into eight sessions, which will take place over four Saturdays and Sundays in December."
"There will be an elimination round during each recording, and the final ten contestants will compete in a live-streamed dance king competition on the first Saturday after New Year's Day."
"So, the recording over the next two days will mainly feature the contestants' debut performances?" Jiang Songchu asked.
"That's right, one hundred contestants will be showcasing their initial performances today. They were all selected after a rigorous screening process by the production team, and some of them are already established star contestants."
As Chen Yun spoke, she handed her a detailed recording schedule.
