180: Chapter 180 Who is this person? Why is he so hard to find out?!

"Quick!"

"Everyone, perk up!"

"We're about to hit our peak business hours!"

Mi Xier felt a bit nervous as she heard the increasingly clear commotion outside the door.

Over a dozen waiters turned to look at the lady boss with bewildered faces, thinking she might have gone crazy from anxiety.

They began wiping even faster with the rags in their hands.

Suddenly!

The door opened!

A gust of cool night air rushed in.

Accompanied by the noisy sound of voices.

"It's here!"

"This must be the place!"

"The Little Tavern at the end of Yulin Road—where else could it be?"

"This Qin Xun is truly a folk music god. I almost cried listening to him!"

"One song from Qin Xun has completely triggered my craving for a drink."

"Charge!"

"I want to feel love at the end of Yulin Road in The Little Tavern too!"

A group of seven or eight people walked in.

The waiters were stunned for a moment before a veteran employee immediately went over to welcome the guests.

"Welcome to The Little..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

She saw another group of four or five people outside, excitedly walking this way from the left.

From the right, another group of five or six people approached.

Immediately after, a shout was heard from the distance.

"Run faster!"

"I'm afraid there won't be any seats left if we're late!"

"The Little Tavern, here I come!"

"Waaaah!"

She was stunned!

What was going on?

Was there a free grand opening promotion for a transfer of ownership?

After all, Mi Xier had been making a living since she was thirteen; her adaptability was strong, and she quickly stepped out from behind the bar to welcome the guests.

Arranging seats, taking orders.

The Little Tavern suddenly became incredibly busy.

Suddenly.

Mi Xier saw An Ke standing behind the bar, operating something with a serious expression, and walked over quickly.

She saw An Ke changing the product prices in the backend of the computer's POS system, generally adjusting them upwards by 20% to 30%.

Looking at An Ke, Mi Xier couldn't help but feel some admiration.

"An Ke, I have to say, you really are the supervisor of the Dudu Tea Flower City subsidiary!"

"You truly have a merchant's sharp intuition, raising prices so quickly!"

An Ke looked up at Mi Xier and smiled.

"Do you know how much a ten-second live-read advertisement costs on Douyin Wonder Night?"

"At least two million to start."

"President Qin sang up there for several minutes; this advertisement was thunderous. If we were to calculate the ad fee, it would be at least three million."

"Using this kind of effort to advertise for a small tavern is simply like using a cannon to hit a mosquito."

She looked at Mi Xier and said in a heavy voice.

"Lei Zhaodi, if you don't make a net profit of 300,000 a month, will you be able to face President Qin?"

Mi Xier was speechless.

Looking at the people arriving one after another outside, she felt that paying off the 500,000 debt within half a year would be no problem at all.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes again.

An Ke took out a hair tie and tied her hair back, looking very capable, and said coldly.

"Don't be busy crying; there's a hard battle to fight tonight!"

...

Backstage at the recording studio.

The large waiting hall.

When the internet celebrities saw Qin Xun leave the stage, they subconsciously walked towards the door, wanting to occupy a favorable position.

When he returned, they wanted to be the first to rush up and get on familiar terms, and ideally get his contact information.

After this night, no one would ever doubt Qin Xun's title as the Godfather of Internet Celebrities again.

In fact, after tonight, he might even leap into becoming a star.

So what if they had to call him 'Godfather'?

Was it embarrassing?

Not at all!

That was what Qin Xun deserved!

...

Qin Xun walked down from the back of the stage.

He saw a woman dressed in professional attire standing beside Xia Ning.

When she saw Qin Xun, she immediately rushed up and introduced herself with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Qin!"

"I am Ye Lan's assistant, Wang Cui."

"Miss Ye Lan would like to invite you for a late-night snack tonight; she has already booked a very famous private kitchen nearby."

"Would you be willing to grace us with your presence?"

Although Wang Cui's sentence was a question, her tone didn't carry a hint of doubt.

She knew that no one could refuse an invitation from Ye Lan.

Qin Xun hesitated for a moment and asked,

"Ye Lan?"

Wang Cui thought Qin Xun was shocked and couldn't believe his own good luck.

She nodded slightly, feeling a bit proud.

"Yes, Ye Lan."

Qin Xun turned his head and looked at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning shook her head gently, indicating she hadn't heard of her.

Qin Xun looked back at Wang Cui and gave a slightly apologetic smile.

"Sorry, not familiar."

"My little assistant's foot is injured; we need to go back and apply medicine."

"Let's skip it this time; definitely next time."

With that, he led Xia Ning toward the passage to leave the recording studio.

Wang Cui was stunned; she turned to look at their retreating backs and vaguely heard their conversation.

"Little Xia, who is Ye Lan?"

"I don't know her."

"There are many bad people and scammers in this society. In the future, you must never attend dinner parties with strangers."

"You are younger than me; don't lecture me in the tone of an elder."

"Hehe..."

"But Ye Lan is a good name. 'In the dead of night, lying still, I listen to the wind and rain; Iron horses and frozen rivers enter my dreams.'"

...

Wang Cui's face looked as unpleasant as if she had eaten a fly.

Ye Lan is the finale guest of today's Douyin Wonder Night, and you, a small internet celebrity who came to perform, say you don't know her?

...

In the independent lounge.

Ye Lan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her voice cold.

"Did he really say that?"

"He doesn't know me?"

Wang Cui nodded.

"Yes."

Ye Lan took a deep breath.

"Heh—he's barely considered half a member of the industry, yet he insists on saying he doesn't know me and mentions being wary of scammers. Isn't this purely intended to insult me?"

She slightly clenched her fist.

"Qin Xun, don't you dare fall into my hands."

"I can be very petty."

...

The Magic City Orange Era Music Company was exactly where Ye Lan's company was located.

A group of executives was in the conference room watching Douyin Wonder Night.

In recent years, short videos had exploded in popularity, giving rise to a large number of internet celebrities, both big and small, and producing many excellent songs.

This forced some long-established stars to cater to the market and sing internet celebrity songs.

It sounded a bit degrading.

But there was no choice; if you wanted to make money, you had to respect the market.

They had gathered today to watch Douyin Wonder Night to deeply analyze what kind of magic internet celebrity songs actually possessed.

They were actually eroding the market share of established stars.

Seeing Qin Xun perform 'Chengdu'.

The CEO of Orange Era slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Qin Xun on the television.

"This person is handsome."

"His melancholic temperament is like a prince from a fairy tale book."

"He's the type that appeals to both men and women!"

"His singing skills are first-class—no, top-tier!"

"To my ears, he sounds even better than Ye Lan."

"Most importantly, he can write songs."

He looked at his subordinates, paused for a moment, and tapped on the table as he asked.

"Tell me, with such a ready-made super idol, are you all blind?"

"Has anyone actually contacted him to sign with the company?"

"Huh?"

"Are you blind?!"

"Does it have to wait until I discover him by chance and personally go to invite him?"

The subordinates silently lowered their heads.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man spoke up.

"President Li, actually, our department tried to poach him before."

"Moreover, our rival companies also tried to poach him, even offering a 3-million-yuan service fee to headhunting firms, but none of them succeeded."

"The account manager of that headhunting firm was even thrown into jail."

President Li was startled.

"This person is so hard to poach?"

"What is his background?"
