Chapter Thirty-Three The old friend comes in the rain
Gao Mang picked up the landline and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Miss Gao, I am Wang Zhengyu, the director of the variety show "Good Life" on Xiangnan TV." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
Gao Mang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he wondered if it was a scam call. But then he thought about it, it probably wasn't a scam call. He was calling from a company phone number and he knew her.
But, she knows "It's a Wonderful Life".
Director Wang Zhengyu has also heard of his famous name.
But what does it have to do with her?
Although he was at a loss, Gao Mang quickly adjusted and said with a chuckle: "Hello, Director Wang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Miss Gao, are you Mr. Yang Bei's agent?"
Gao Mang frowned, why did Yang Bei suddenly get involved again? "Yes, I am his agent."
"The thing is like this. When our program team was filming the program, we captured a scene of Mr. Yang Bei singing. We hope to get Mr. Yang Bei's authorization to broadcast it on TV."
Gao Mang was startled after hearing this. What's going on? "Wonderful Life" wants Yang Bei to appear on the show?
Why is it so unreal???
On the phone, Wang Zhengyu continued: "Today we contacted Mr. Yang Bei. He said that he did not want to participate in the show for the time being and wanted to quit the entertainment industry."
The corner of Gao Mang's mouth twitched. Yang Bei had his brain kicked by a donkey. A big pie fell from the sky, and he actually wanted to avoid it?
Gao Mang said: "Director Wang, are you filming a program in western Hunan now?"
Wang Zhengyu said: "Yes."
After a pause, Gao Mang said: "Well, Director Wang, I haven't figured out the specific situation yet. I have to call Yang Bei and ask you. I will get back to you if there is any information."
Wang Zhengyu said: "Okay, but please do it as soon as possible. Our program will start editing on Thursday and it will be broadcast on TV on Saturday night."
After hanging up Wang Zhengyu's call, Gao Mang stopped looking for anyone to reveal the relationship between She Ya and Zhao Hui for the time being. She felt that after a while, there would be a better opportunity.
However, Gao Mang is also a little annoyed now that Yang Bei actually refused the invitation to "Good Life"!
You know, "It's a Wonderful Life" is one of the top variety shows in the country. During this period, Gao Mang was still thinking about finding a relationship to let Li Zhikai participate in an episode, but he wasn't too sure yet.
But now, "It's a Wonderful Life" has given an olive branch to Yang Bei. This guy Yang Bei... is really crazy!
It’s so unmotivated!
Gao Mang picked up the phone, found Yang Bei's number, and dialed it directly.
...
Xiangxi, Gucao Village.
The rain was pattering, not heavy, but lasting enough.
Yang Bei was looking through the photos he had taken in the past few days when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look. It was Gao Mang calling. Yang Bei pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, Sister Mang."
"Yang Bei, Director Wang from "Good Life" called me just now. They asked you to participate in the show. You refused?" Gao Mang said straight to the point.
Yang Bei was stunned. Isn't this variety show a very popular ace variety show? He thought that if he refused once, he would definitely not come again because of face. Then the director came over again in the afternoon, and now he called Gao Mang again.
Yang Bei actually had some doubts about whether this was a fake "It's a Wonderful Life".
Yang Beidao: "Yes, wasn't I on vacation recently? I didn't agree to them."
Gao Mang laughed angrily, "On vacation? What kind of vacation did you take?"
After a pause, Gao Mang continued to enlighten Yang Bei.
"Yang Bei, do you know how great the benefits will be if you get on "A Wonderful Life"?"
Yang Bei: "Hmm?"
Gao Mang patiently began to do homework for Yang Bei, "The only thing you are really popular about now is the video of "The World Comes and Gone in a Dream", but the popularity of this song has basically passed.
One song pushed you from one thousand to more than six hundred among third-tier artists, and it also ranked one hundred and tenth on Douyin's 'Best Internet Celebrity' list."
"If you can participate in "It's a Wonderful Life" now, you can go one step further."
"Now that you have a bad reputation in the industry, what you should do most right now is not to escape..."
"..."
Gao Mang said a lot, but Yang Bei remained unmoved.
Finally, Gao Mang's patience ran out and he said angrily: "Just wait."
Yang Bei asked in confusion: "What?"
Gao Mang sneered and hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone, Yang Bei was a little confused. Why couldn't he say something properly? Why did he hang up the phone?
Still making me wait?
Is this meant to scare people?
...
in the evening,
When Gao Mang appeared in front of Yang Bei with his backpack in his arms and his fine mid-length hair that should have been combed behind his back, now with strands of hair hanging down, looking like a drowned rat, Yang Bei was really frightened.
Sun Fengqing also heard the sound of the door opening and ran out of the kitchen. When he saw the ghost-like figure, he didn't recognize who it was for a moment.
Gao Mang looked at Yang Bei with a cold face and an expressionless expression. Yang Bei's heart palpitated and he quickly ran out of the main room, grabbed Gao Mang and led the people in.
"Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you here?" Yang Bei said as he led Gao Mang into his bedroom. "I'll ask you later. Please change your clothes first."
After closing the door, Yang Bei shouted to Sun Fengqing, who was also standing at the door with a confused look on his face: "What are you looking at? Why don't you go cook quickly?"
Sun Fengqing responded, first went to close the courtyard door, and then ran into the kitchen.
Yang Bei heard a rustling sound in the bedroom. It should be Gao Mang changing clothes. He still hasn't come back to his senses, as if he was in a dream. He was on the phone with Gao Mang in the afternoon, and it was still dark.
It’s actually here?
Yang Bei suddenly understood what Gao Mang meant when he said 'you wait'. It was not a simple threat, she really asked him to wait here.
"Come in." Gao Mang's voice came from the bedroom.
Yang Bei pushed the door open and went in. He threw a few large wads of toilet paper on the ground. Gao Mang must have wiped his hair. He looked up at Gao Mang who was nestled in his bed, then looked at the pile of clothes at the foot of the bed, and the corners of his mouth moved.
He moved and said, "You... changed your clothes?"
Gao Mang said lightly: "No, they are all wet."
Yang Bei blinked. When Gao Mang spoke, he seemed to vaguely see two black slings on her shoulders.
Yang Bei coughed lightly, turned his eyes to the window, looked at the rain outside the window, frowned and said: "Why are you here?"
Gao Mang glared at Yang Bei, "If you let me worry less, would I be in such a hurry?"
In the afternoon, Yang Bei, who had no ambition, really made Gao Mang very angry.
Yang Bei: "..."
"Why don't you bring an umbrella? What should I do if I catch a cold?" Yang Bei frowned again when he remembered that he had just seen Gao Mang's wet appearance, with water dripping from his hair and face.
Gao Mang pulled up the quilt and said, "It doesn't rain in the city, but only in the mountainous areas... sneeze!"
Gao Mang sniffed.
Yang Bei turned his gaze to Gao Mang, looked at her pale face, and said, "You don't have a cold, do you?"
