Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1291

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Yanjing Four Seasons Hotel, Caiyixuan.

In the private independent dining room, the shiny floor is matched with a black high-polished zebra wood floor, the elegant Chinese layout, and Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman are sitting next to each other in front of the white round table that can accommodate more than a dozen people.

"Sir, dining room No. 8, please come in..."

While Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman were chatting in low voices, accompanied by a gentle female voice, the door of the private independent dining room where Lin Qian and the two were located was pushed open from the outside, followed by a man and a woman Two people came in from the outside.

"Director Lin!"

"Mr. Li!"

The middle-aged man walking in the front was none other than Ma Zhennan, the president of Penguin Video. After he entered the room, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he greeted Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman eagerly.

"Boss Horse!"

"Long-awaited great name!"

Seeing Ma Zhennan, Lin Qian and Li Xiaoman immediately stood up from their chairs and responded to Ma Zhennan with a smile.

"President Ma, this is..."

Lin Qian looked at the woman behind Ma Zhennan, with a look of questioning in his eyes.

"Dong Lin, this is Tang Juan, our vice president of Penguin Video, who is currently in charge of our Penguin Video variety show business."

Ma Zhennan turned his body sideways, let out Tang Juan who was behind him, and introduced Lin Qian and Lin Qian with a smile.

After learning about Tang Juan's identity, a strange look flashed in Lin Qian's eyes.

"So it's Mr. Tang!"

"Welcome, welcome. I usually don't get involved in the company's operations. Don't blame me for being ignorant, Mr. Tang."

Lin Qian was very approachable today. While saying this, he extended his hand to Tang Juan.

"Mr. Lin, your achievements in charity are really admirable. To be honest, I have admired you for a long time. I am very honored to be at the same table with you today."

Tang Juan, the vice president of Penguin Video, is about 35 years old. She is not a big beauty. Her appearance can only be said to be above average, and she is a little fat, but her skin is very fair, and she exudes a kind of intellectual temperament.

Facing Lin Qian's courteous reception, Tang Juan felt a little flattered. She hurriedly took a step forward, holding the right hand that Lin Qian offered to offer with both hands, while saying some compliments.

The four of them met for the first time. According to China's wine table culture, the initial business bragging session was unavoidable. The two sides chatted back and forth for a while before finally sitting down smoothly.

"We met for the first time, and I don't know what Mr. Ma likes to eat, but we heard that Mr. Ma is from Handong, so we chose Cai Yixuan as the venue for the dinner. This restaurant has been open for many years, and the Cantonese cuisine has always been very good. I hope it can taste like Mr. Ma.”

After the two parties were seated, the service staff of the restaurant soon brought up plates of delicately arranged dishes with excellent color, fragrance and taste. During the process, Li Xiaoman said to Ma Zhennan with a smile.

"It's really bothering Mr. Li, I can actually eat anything."

Hearing this, Ma Zhennan couldn't help smiling even more.

"Come here."

"Use your chopsticks, let's chat while eating."

"If you don't wait, it will be cold."

Lin Qian greeted everyone, then took the initiative to turn the glass disc on the round table, and transferred the signature dish of Cai Yixuan to Ma Zhennan's side. It can be said that the hospitality was very thoughtful.

As a Chinese restaurant that has been on the Michelin list for many years, Cai Yixuan naturally has its unique features. Since Li Xiaoman is a frequent customer here, all the meals today are ordered by Li Xiaoman.

Suckling pig with melted skin, Cantonese-style roast goose, braised pork with abalone, baked stuffed fresh crab cap, steamed cured glutinous rice with crab paste, sesame duck sealed with oil sauce, aged foie gras with flower carving, steamed Dongxing spot...

There were only four people, but the dishes filled the entire table.

Looking at the many delicacies in front of him, Lin Qian, who hadn't eaten well all day because of the incident on the iQi video, started to eat with his chopsticks after a few simple polite words with Ma Zhennan.

It has to be said that Cai Yixuan has been able to take the top spot in the Cantonese cuisine circle of Yanjing for many years in a row, and the taste and texture of its dishes are basically not to be outdone.

Melted suckling pig, extremely thin and crispy skin, served with sauce, a little lean meat and steamed bun slices on the bottom, put it in the mouth, it is immediately crispy and overflowing, making the mouth feel fragrant, and there are crispy roasted pigeons, With a slight milky aroma, under the roasted crispy tender skin, its rich juice instantly flowed into the mouth, making Lin Qian's taste buds jump for joy.

The only thing that made Lin Qian feel that it was almost meaningless was the steamed Dong Xing Ban, the soy sauce tasted a little stronger, thus covering up the original deliciousness of the Dong Xing Ban, but overall, it was still flawless.

While eating and exchanging pleasantries, half an hour passed in a flash.

"President Ma, did you read the announcement posted by iQi Video this morning?"

When Lin Qian saw that everyone was almost finished eating, he found a suitable opportunity and suddenly asked Ma Zhennan.

"Dong Lin, are you referring to the announcement made by iQi Video on the program "Idol Trainee" today?"

Knowing that tonight's topic was coming, Ma Zhennan wiped his mouth with a napkin, then confirmed to Lin Qian.

"That's the announcement."

Lin Qian nodded slightly and said.

"Of course I read it, and our company also held a meeting specially because of this announcement."

Ma Zhennan responded, and Tang Juan, who was beside him, silently put down the chopsticks in her hand after the topic started, and her expression became a little more formal.

"Mr. Ma, I would like to ask, what is your company's opinion on the group show officially announced by iQi Video today?"

Lin Qian then asked again.

"Um……"

"This type of variety show has never been seen in the history of entertainment in China, but I think this type of variety show is essentially nothing compared to the Super Girl and Happy Boy ten years ago. difference."

"The core of this type of variety show is to create stars, and at the same time, during the show, use fans' love for the contestants to earn fans' support money for the idol's debut."

"There is no difference in essence between the two, except that Super Girl and Happy Boys ultimately put one person on the throne, but this show puts a group of people on the throne."

Ma Zhennan pondered for a while, and then briefly stated his opinion to Lin Qian.

It has to be said that Ma Zhennan's eyesight is very sharp, he can see through the surface at a glance, and see through the essence of the variety show that idol groups compete to form a reality show.

In fact, as Ma Zhennan said, the essence of Tuanzong is nothing compared to the previous Super Girls and Happy Boys. Just changed the skin.
