Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 21 The Waves of Life

On the day Wang Shasha was deported to the mainland, Zhang Jiao took Liu's mother to say goodbye to her.

Zhang Jiao sent some money to the escorting police, and asked for a little time to say goodbye to Wang Shasha. The police agreed, but confiscated the money.

Zhang Jiao didn't force her, and asked Liu Ma to go to the cabin to talk to Wang Shasha first, and she would wait a little longer.

After half an hour, Mama Liu came out.

"Miss, you can go." She wiped away her wet tears, apparently she had just cried again.

Zhang Jiao nodded, pretending that she didn't see her tears, and went directly into the cabin by bypassing her.

It was dark in the cabin with only one narrow window.Using the light, Zhang Jiao saw Wang Shasha sitting on the small bed under the window with her hands and feet chained.

Zhang Jiao didn't regret not asking Wang Shasha because she knew Wang Shasha's answer.

"I heard that the mainland's laws are more humane, and you may not die. Maybe we will meet again someday." Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

Wang Shasha raised her head and looked at her, saying nothing.

Zhang Jiao sighed slightly, took out something from the bag, got up and handed it to Wang Shasha.

Wang Shasha rubbed the little seal Zhang Jiao gave her and asked, "What is this?" Her voice was hoarse, not as clear and sweet as Zhang Jiao's impression.

"This is the seal of Plum Blossom Bank. Keep it. If one day you can successfully get free, you can take this seal to the bank to withdraw money and start over."

Meihua Bank is an old-fashioned bank. Zhang Jiao asked someone to open an account and deposit some money in it after inquiring about its reliability.

"I don't want it, you can take it away." Wang Shasha held Zhang Jiao in her palm and handed it back. She didn't want to owe Zhang Jiao any more.

"Take it. This money is not from me, but from Mama Liu. Let me find a way to hand it over to you." No one was allowed to take anything with him when he was deported, so he could only find a way from other places.

If this seal is found, it will probably be taken away. I just hope Shasha can hide it herself.

But Zhang Jiao lied and she also added money to it.

"In order to make your life better, Mother Liu sold the house and withdrew all the money in the bankbook. She left not a penny in this bank. If you remember her kindness, hide this seal. , I will have the opportunity to come out and live a good life in the future."

Zhang Jiao didn't understand why Liu's mother was so kind to Wang Shasha. Even Liu's mother couldn't explain it herself. Maybe it was partly due to guilt for Aunt Feng's neglect and partly because of the feelings between the three of them.

On the day she surrendered, Wang Shasha handed over the passbook that Mama Liu had given her to the police, and asked her to return it to Mama Liu.But Wang Shasha didn't expect that the passbook returned to her in another way.

Her eyes quietly began to turn red.

Zhang Jiao noticed it and stood up, "I hope you can think clearly for yourself. Your mother would rather suffer than let you live a good life. Your godmother is willing to do her best to make your life better. You should cherish your life." Life. As long as there is a chance, we must live."

After saying that, Zhang Jiao turned around and prepared to leave.

"Thank you, and please help me thank my godmother!" Wang Shasha said with a tearful voice.

"Understood, I will pass it on." Zhang Jiao smiled, as long as she could figure it out, it was worthwhile for her to say so much.

The ship left the port slowly.

Zhang Jiao stood on the pier, looking at the vast sea, she felt a strange peace in her heart.

In the days that followed, Aunt Feng and Wang Shasha seemed to gradually disappear into her world with the rolling waves of the sea.

After Liu's mother sold the house, she did not return to Zhang Jiao's house.

Instead, he asked Qibo to rent a house near Pearl Street with the new salary and lived alone.

Qi's mother always told Zhang Jiao that she was too stubborn, and she didn't know what she was thinking.After speaking, he always sighed, lamenting that Mama Liu's life was miserable.

Zhang Jiao just listened, occasionally responding.

Life is so ordinary and has returned to its original calm.

Zhang Jiao still lays down every day, reads a book and basks in the sun, practices boxing and tennis from time to time, and even goes swimming when the mood comes.

But life won't always be so peaceful.

*
After a series of tedious and complicated procedures, Zhou Bufan finally held the singing contest lively.

"What is this?" Zhang Jiao took the envelope from the self-proclaimed Extraordinary TV station staff.

"Director Zhou asked me to send you an invitation card, saying that it is the first time to hold a competition, so it would be more solemn to send an invitation card to invite you to participate."

Invitation?Apart from anything else, these words do sound like they were spoken by Zhou Bufan. They don't have much effect but they have enough tricks.

But Zhang Jiao was quite curious.

She tore open the envelope full of anticipation, wanting to see what new things Zhou Bufan could come up with.

You can take out the invitation card from the envelope and have a look, ah, a big double happiness word comes into view.

Open it again, and it reads: Respectfully invite Miss Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, to come and guide the "First Hong Kong City Singing Contest" held by Feifan TV.There are also small characters on the left side, explaining the place and time of the competition.

After Zhang Jiao finished reading, the smile on her face suddenly fell.

I just feel like my fist is getting ready to move.This invitation was indeed quite solemn. Did she just take out the blank invitations left over from the engagement?
Ha, borrowing is not a thorough borrowing, at least the format of the invitation card should be corrected.

This invitation looked more and more familiar to Zhang Jiao.

"Qi Ma, come and take a look, does this invitation look familiar?" Zhang Jiao waved her hand, asking Qi Ma, who had just ushered people into the room, to identify it.

Qi's mother was very confused. When she came over to take a look, hey, she looked really familiar!She had seen it before, and heard that this style was specially designed and made by the Zhou family for the sake of celebration. No other family could see this style.

The one given to the young lady was still taken by her!At that time, she asked the housekeeper's wife of the Zhou family to ask for the designer's contact information, thinking that when the lady got engaged, she would also ask him to design a different invitation card.

"Isn't this the engagement invitation that Miss Zhou sent last year? Why did it come here again? Did you get it by mistake?"

Zhang Jiao snorted, "It's not wrong." She threw the invitation on the coffee table and asked the staff, "What else did she say?"

Zhou Bufan sent the engagement invitation, so he should have thought about the reasons and excuses, and let her hear how outrageous it is.

Qi Ma glanced at Zhang Jiao's face, took it over and took a look at it curiously, then couldn't hold back her smile and burst into laughter.

The TV station staff's face turned red with embarrassment, but they still had something to say, so they had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Director Zhou said that the word double happiness on the invitation has a special meaning. It not only means celebrating the establishment of our TV station, but also represents wishing the success of the first singing competition. It is a good sign of double happiness."

When he first received the job, he thought it was just running errands, it was easy to do and could gain face, and he even thought that it would be his turn to show up at last.But now, he only felt that his face was about to become familiar.

It's all embarrassing!
After hearing this, Zhang Jiao was deeply impressed. She was indeed someone who could act to defraud investment from her. Look, he could even make up such high-sounding words.

All right, she will definitely go to this audition!

After getting accurate information, the TV station staff ran away as if they were running away. Qi's mother asked him to eat, but he didn't listen, for fear of being in an embarrassing situation again.

The audition for the singing competition was held in the theater, and Zhou Bufan rented it for a few months, just to finish all the competitions here.

When Zhang Jiao took Brother Peng to go, he walked past the entrance of the theater and found that many people were queuing up to enter.

When she saw Zhou Bufan, she asked curiously, "Did you invite any spectators to watch the game?"

Mentioning this, Zhou Bufan got a little excited, "This is all thanks to Brother Zhou, you really gave me a good helper.

He suggested that since it is in a theater, it is better to set up a ticket sales service, and you can buy a ticket for two dollars. After a game is over, you can write the names of the supporting contestants in the blank space of the ticket and vote for your favorite participating singers. . "

In order for someone to support the ticket, Zhou Bufan also set up a voting mechanism. People voted by the audience can stay even if they are eliminated by the judges.

She led Zhang Jiao to the auditorium and pointed back, "Look, how effective this is!"

The effect was indeed good. Zhang Jiao saw that the theater was almost full, and there were people holding cheering signs with words such as "Come on xxx!"

Seeing her looking at the dazzling array of brands, Zhou Bufan explained to her, "Only a small part of these spectators come spontaneously out of curiosity, and most of them are the family members of the players."

Family members account for a larger proportion, but that's normal. How can you get an extra level of protection for yourself without having more of your own?

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but sigh, this marketing is simply amazing.

The theater has nearly a thousand seats. Although the tickets are low, if they are all sold out, a game will cost more than 1000 yuan.Even if the entire rent cannot be recovered, at least a small part can be earned.

Zhang Jiao sat down in the front row seat arranged by Zhou Bufan, which felt quite novel.Even in her previous life, she had never attended a concert or a play or other gathering activities.

This experience is the first time today.

Zhou Bufan took out some snacks from his bag and threw them into her arms, proudly claiming credit for himself. "This is the best viewing distance, specially reserved for you."

"Oh, thank you."

The seat was right under the stage, and Zhang Jiao could touch the stage with just a stretch of her hand. Although she was adamant, Zhang Jiao had to admit that this location was really good.

"Who did you choose for the judges?" Brother Zhou also reported to her before, but Zhang Jiao had too many things in his mind in the past few days, so he didn't remember anyone.

Zhou Bufan looked at her with hatred, and resigned himself to her fate, he leaned into her ear and whispered to her, "There are four judges in total. The first is the famous lyricist Cao Di, the second is the popular singer Hua Duo, and the third is the judges. The first is Chu Ming, a veteran movie star, and the last one is Chang Fan, the producer of Universal Music."

Zhang Jiao nodded. The lineup of judges is quite strong, but I don't know how strong these contestants are, and whether they can play the role of judges.
Soon it was time for the opening, and the host came to the stage to control the field.

"Welcome everyone to the first Hong Kong City Singing Contest hosted by Feifan TV. This competition will be held in four sessions. Today is the first round of auditions... Let us look forward to the performance of the contestants."

When it came to the audition, Zhou Bufan said to Zhang Jiao with some headaches: "There are quite a lot of people who signed up this time. The audition alone may take several days to finish."

We haven't seen any results yet, and a lot of money has already been spent.

Zhang Jiao has long been mentally prepared. After all, the talent shows she watched in the past took several months to end.

"It's okay. As time goes by, more people will know."

"I hope so." Zhou Bufan spread his hands.

I hope you don’t waste your money in vain!

After emphasizing the line-up of Fei Fei TV, the host began to invite the judges to appear on the stage.

The singer Hua Duo was the first to appear on the stage. After he stepped onto the judges' seat, he specially greeted the audience behind him, which immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers.

Next came the movie star Chu Ming. As soon as he showed up, the audience started shouting his name loudly without him talking. Zhang Jiao immediately covered his ears with that passionate scream.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, fans are not a group that can be underestimated.

Compared with them, the appearances of lyricist Cao Di and record producer were much deserted, with nothing but polite applause.

But they have a lot of experience, they live well, and they deal with the differences in this world without changing their expressions.

Once the judges are seated, the competition officially begins.

The first contestant is a young boy with good looks. When he introduces himself, his voice is clear and loud.Zhang Jiao nodded in satisfaction, she is a seedling of a star.

"The moon came out..."

As soon as the boy opened his mouth, Zhang Jiao immediately put on a mask of pain, feeling that he had drawn too early a conclusion, and that the kid's tunes were going to the North Pole.

Pass directly!

Next is the second, third...

After insisting on listening to a few people speak, Zhang Jiao took a deep breath while the host came on stage to speak.

Life is precious!She wants to escape from this ghost place!
Zhang Jiao turned to Zhou Bufan with a serious look on her face and said, "I'm leaving first, but suddenly I remembered that there are still important things to do."

Zhou Bufan scolded her with his eyes, everyone sitting at the scene who didn't know who, this excuse is only believed by ghosts. "You can't go, what should I do if you go?"

She held Zhang Jiao tightly in her hand, adhering to the idea that everyone should die together and no one should think about it, and she resolutely refused to let Zhang Jiao leave.

In order to escape for her life, Zhang Jiao even used the kung fu she had not practiced for a long time.Zhou Bufan didn't see clearly how she moved, so she broke free.

And she reacted very quickly and ran away as soon as she got away.

Watching Zhang Jiao run away, Zhou Bufan gritted his teeth with a fierce expression, "Just wait for me!"
