Chapter 356 Got Caught

"We Are Young" has a faster pace and is very suitable for outdoor performances.

Zhou Yan compiled a version in advance and added some drums to make it more suitable for the current scene.

When the brisk violin and rhythmic drums sounded, the atmosphere of the scene went to a new level.

Many audience members who had originally walked out of the concert hall had expressions of surprise on their faces when they heard "We Are Young".

They didn't expect that the outdoor program was very different from the indoor one. It was a completely different experience.

Outdoors, they don't need to concentrate and appreciate the connotation of music like they do indoors. They just need to follow their feelings and enjoy the intuitive feeling that the rhythm and melody bring to them.

Zhao Weilun and his friends stood in the back row, watching Zhou Yan play the violin rhythmically on the stage, and felt very magical. They had never seen Zhou Yan behave so briskly on stage.

Zhou Yan did the right thing by choosing "We Are Young" as the opening song for the outdoor encore. This song alone aroused the emotions of the audience.

When citizens passing by heard the excitement here, many came over curiously to see what was going on.

There were more and more people in the square, but under the supervision of police officers, everything was in order.

Because there were so many people, after "We Are Young" ended, people from relevant departments came to ask Zhou Yan to play more songs tonight, and Zhou Yan readily agreed.

In fact, even if they didn't make such a request, Zhou Yan would play a few more songs tonight. He also saw that there were indeed a lot of spectators at the scene, and the number was still growing.

In the end, Zhou Yan played a total of seven pieces of music outdoors, setting a record for all previous concerts. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan would only play three to five pieces of music outdoors.

The number of songs in the encore tonight is twice that of a normal performance.

However, the seven songs today are all relatively popular, such as "We Are Young", "How Long Will I Love You", "If Love Has God's Will", etc., because these songs are more suitable for outdoor use and are more suitable for a wider range of people. audience.

He not only played seven pieces of music, but also interacted with the audience for a long time, which made the leaders of relevant local departments happy. This concert has a positive impact on the promotion of Bei City that cannot be underestimated.

…

After the performance of the seven songs ended, Zhou Yan waved goodbye to the audience, "Good night everyone, see you tomorrow."

After that, no matter how much the audience tried to persuade him to stay, he took the band members back to the backstage.

The audience did not leave. Firstly, they were thinking that Zhou Yan might come back. Secondly, the big screen at the venue played the short video that Zhou Yan had previously recorded for promotional purposes.

It wasn't until the short film ended and Zhou Yan didn't come back that the audience began to leave.

As soon as Zhou Yan returned to the backstage, a Tomson staff member came over and said to him, "Teacher Zhou, the concert hall just gave us the on-site data. There were more than 14,000 outdoor spectators in total. "

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "Is this data an estimate? How did they get it? Why so fast?"

"Because we pulled the line in advance, we counted each one as we entered. This was true for several entrances. At the end, the data from several entrances were added together, and the total data came out. Although it is not very accurate, the error should be Not big. I also checked it visually during the performance, and it was probably this number. "

In fact, visual inspection is also very simple, because the queue of spectators outside the stadium today is square and they all stand in rows. So as long as you count the approximate number of people in a row and then count the rows, you can estimate the total number. Man, there is an error in this method, but it’s not particularly large.

"The order at the scene was maintained very well today, and the stage was set up well."

“The main thing is that it has a big screen, so it works well.”

Zhou Yan nodded. The big screen really contributed to such an effect today. However, such a screen is rare and cannot be imitated elsewhere.

Other concert halls cannot install a large screen just for Zhou Yan's concert. The cost would be too high.

Unless tickets are also charged for outdoor audiences, the cost of the screen will not be recovered at all. Today, the concert hall even sold water, but the little money from selling water is probably a drop in the bucket.

Everyone didn't linger for long. It was getting late tonight and there would be a performance tomorrow. They had to go back early to rest.

Zhou Yan still did not go with the large army, but went to her residence with Wang Zuxian.

After returning, he did not work again and rested early.

But he got up very early the next morning, getting up at six o'clock and going to the study to work at six-thirty.

After working until half past seven, Zhou Yan went back to the bedroom and saw Wang Zuxian still sleeping, so he changed his clothes and went out to buy breakfast.

The house bought by Wang Zuxian has good supporting facilities in the surrounding living area. If you go downstairs a few steps, you can see many breakfast shops. There are many people visiting it early in the morning, which gives it a sense of life.

Zhou Yan has been buying breakfast at a breakfast shop called "Weiyuan Soy Milk" for the past two days. The shop owner is a middle-aged couple. When he arrived, it was the busiest time in the morning, and there was a queue to order.

However, the queue was not long, and there were only three or four people in front of Zhou Yan. When Zhou Yan was reached in line, the proprietress said with a smile, "Is it still two orders of soy milk, two orders of Xiaolong soup dumplings, and one egg pancake?"

Zhou Yan looked at the landlady in surprise, then nodded, "Yes."

The lady boss smiled and said while packing breakfast for Zhou Yan, "I'll give you a few pot stickers. You can try them. If they are delicious, you can buy some next time. You will get tired of eating the same kind of pot stickers all the time."

"How much are the pot stickers?"

"No, I'll give them to you."

Zhou Yan nodded and did not refuse the lady boss's kindness.

At the same time, he also felt that this lady boss was really born to do business. He had only been here for two days, but she remembered him and clearly remembered what he bought.

The key is that every time Zhou Yan came, the store was very busy. In this case, she could still remember so clearly, which shows that the lady boss is not simple.

But from the perspective of the lady boss, this is not a difficult thing. It may take some time to remember other customers, but it is very easy to remember Zhou Yan because Zhou Yan is special enough.

Zhou Yan is tall and wears a pair of sunglasses early in the morning. His image is too different from that of ordinary customers. Moreover, his accent is not that of a local, and he orders the same thing every time he comes.

After taking breakfast, Zhou Yan went to the supermarket again, replenished some "daily necessities", and then rushed back leisurely.

When he reached the door, he was taking out the key to open the door when a puzzled voice came from behind.

"Hey, I'm not in the wrong place."

Hearing the voice, Zhou Yan turned his head and saw a slightly plump middle-aged woman holding two bags standing not far away, looking at him with a confused face.

When he saw the other person, Zhou Yan was immediately stunned, because he had recognized that the person in front of him was Wang Zuxian's mother.

Last night, she sat in the second row, closer to the stage, and Zhou Yan saw her clearly.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Zhou Yan's mind, and finally he bowed very politely and said hello, "Hello, Auntie."

Mother Wang subconsciously replied, "Hello."

Then she looked confused, "Who are you?"

Zhou Yan was dressed very casually, with a loose white T-shirt and khaki shorts, and a pair of color-blocked sneakers on his feet, looking like a college student.

And he was wearing sunglasses, and Mother Wang didn't recognize that the person in front of her was Zhou Yan who stood on the stage and performed for them last night, and she didn't think about it at all.

Zhou Yan could only take off his sunglasses, "I'm Zhou Yan."

"Zhou..."

Mother Wang suddenly felt that her brain had crashed.

Why did Zhou Yan appear here?

Where is this...Oh, by the way, this is Xiaoxian's residence.

Why did he come to Xiaoxian so early in the morning?

Seeing that Mother Wang was standing there, Zhou Yan didn't know what to say. Should he invite her in to sit down?

After a long while, Mother Wang finally reacted, "You are here to see Xiaoxian."

"Uh...yes."

"I'll knock on the door for you."

Mother Wang walked up and knocked on the door.

No one answered, so she knocked a few more times with more force, and at the same time said to Zhou Yan, "Xiaoxian usually gets up very early, maybe she's busy with work recently."

This time, Joey Wong responded from inside, and then Joey Wong came in her pajamas and opened the door.

She yawned, "Third brother, you didn't bring..."

Halfway through her words, she noticed the situation outside the door, and she was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, "Mom, why are you here?"

Mother Wang rolled her eyes, "What do you mean, I can't come?"

"No, didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

"Next time, I must remember to report to you. There are guests at home, and you came out in pajamas?"

Hearing her mother say this, Wang Zuxian shrank her neck and turned to run into the house.

Mother Wang smiled and invited Zhou Yan into the house again, "Director Zhou, please come in."

As soon as she entered the house, she saw the men's slippers placed at the door, but she didn't say anything. After all, she was an experienced person. Zhou Yan's reaction just now and her daughter's reaction had already made her understand what was going on.

Although she guessed what was going on, she didn't say it out loud. She treated Zhou Yan as an ordinary guest, invited him to sit on the sofa, and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Yan quickly took the teacup and thanked him, "Auntie, you are so polite."

"It's my duty, it's my duty." Mother Wang sat down opposite Zhou Yan and looked him up and down with a smile.

Zhou Yan felt the burning gaze of Mother Wang and could only pretend to lower his head to drink tea to hide his embarrassment.

After a long while, Zhou Yan couldn't hold back his temper and spoke first, "I originally wanted to visit you and uncle, but I'm really short of time recently and I can't get away."

Mother Wang waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I know you are busy, didn't we meet yesterday? Is this tea delicious?"

"Yeah, it's good." Zhou Yan nodded.

"As long as it tastes good." Mother Wang said with a smile, "Xiaoxian doesn't like to drink tea usually. I was worried just now that I had nothing to treat you. I didn't expect to find this tea on the table. It was just opened and it looks like it should be this year's new tea. This should be Houkui. I don't know much about tea."

This is very interesting. Wang Zuxian doesn't drink tea usually, but now there is such a good new tea at home. It should be prepared for people who like to drink it.

Zhou Yan didn't hide it, and smiled and nodded, "It's this year's Houkui. I brought it here. Auntie, if you like it, I will prepare some for you later."

"I'm fine. Grandpa Xiaoxian likes to drink tea."

"I understand. Prepare more for grandpa later."

Mother Wang smiled, got up and opened one of the bags she had just brought over, and asked Zhou Yan, "Have you had breakfast?"

“Not yet, but I just bought some outside.” Zhou Yan also opened the bag he brought up and put out the breakfast inside.

“That’s good, I only prepared one for Xiaoxian. But if I come again tomorrow, I can prepare two.”

The meaning of this sentence is more obvious, asking whether Zhou Yan will still be here tomorrow.

At this time, Wang Zuxian came out of the house, "Mom, you came here just to bring me breakfast."

"I came here to see you and bring you some breakfast. From your tone, you don't want me to come?"

Wang Zuxian sat next to her mother, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly, "No, I'm afraid you'll be tired."

"It's better. I thought you didn't want me to come."

"No way." Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Yan with a guilty conscience, and then plucked up the courage to introduce him to her mother, "Mom, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Yan."

After she finished introducing, Wang's mother kept looking at her, and after a while, she said, "That's all?"

Wang Zuxian was stunned, "What else?"

At this time, Zhou Yan took over the conversation, "Auntie, I'm Xiaoxian's boyfriend."

This time, Wang's mother nodded with satisfaction. This was the answer she wanted, and then She added, "Xiaoxian, you are so ignorant. Why didn't you tell your family that you have a boyfriend? Zhou Yan has already come to Taipei City, and you don't even bring him home to sit down."

Joey Wang quickly explained, "I want to wait until our relationship is more stable before telling you."

"Is your relationship unstable now?"

Joey Wang lowered her head, "It's quite stable."

"That's not possible?" Mother Wang looked at Zhou Yan again, "Zhou Yan, do you have time at noon today? If you have time, come to my house and sit down."

Before Zhou Yan could speak, Joey Wang said, "No at noon today, he has a performance in the evening."

"If you have a performance in the evening, you have to eat at noon."

"If you go to my house, you must drink. Otherwise, it's not good to just eat."

The key is that Zhou Yan didn't prepare any gifts. It's not good to rush over like this.

Mother Wang thought about it and felt that her daughter was right. It must be more formal when Zhou Yan comes to her house for the first time.

"Then let's do it here at noon today. I'll cook, and you stay for lunch, Zhou Yan."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Yan and the others to speak, she stood up with her hands on her knees, "It's settled. I'll go buy groceries."

When Wang's mother walked out of the door, Wang Zuxian grabbed her hair, "Third brother, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my mother to come today."

Zhou Yan smiled, "It's nothing, we'll meet sooner or later, so it's fine this way."

Wang Zuxian ran to the sofa and sat down, leaning her head on Zhou Yan's shoulder, and said blankly, "I actually imagined many scenarios of introducing you to my family, but I didn't expect it to be like this. It disrupted my plan."

Zhou Yan touched her head and smiled, "Fortunately, at least I got up early. If your mother caught me in bed..."

Wang Zuxian shrank her neck, a little afraid to think about the situation Zhou Yan said.

Although they are all adults, this situation is normal, but it is still embarrassing. (End of this chapter)
