DAEYTT Chapter 012: Titanium Straight Man, Treasure Uncle?

Steel straight man?

No!

I am a titanium straight man!

A hot topic suddenly appeared on Weibo!

What is a titanium straight man?

Below is a video.

In the video, a slightly mature and handsome man asked Su Feier, "Can I ask any question?"

Su Feier's beautiful face showed some unease, but she still nodded affirmatively.

The handsome man then said, "Then I'll ask a very sensitive question."

Su Feier's delicate face tightened, obviously a bit nervous, but she still nodded seriously and said, "Go ahead."

Many people watching the video were expecting some adult-sensitive questions to follow.

After all, nowadays, many streamers ask passersby very personal and sensitive questions during outdoor live broadcasts to attract a lot of attention.

And Su Feier has millions of followers as a popular internet celebrity, most of whom are drawn by her looks, naturally wanting to know some sensitive private information about her.

The handsome man asked very seriously, "What do you think about the current conflict in Syria?"

Clang...

The water cup in He Dongming's hand fell to the ground. He stared at the video, complaining, "Damn, this guy, asking such a sensitive question? I can't even answer that!"

The assistant director of the program, Zhou Qinghua, who was watching the video together, also burst out laughing, "Dongming, your old classmate is quite funny. Has he signed with a talent agency?"

Another female program editor bent over with laughter, "Hahahaha, hahahaha... This is too funny! Look at Su Feier's expression, she was completely stunned."

Several people from the program team gathered around.

"You guys don't know, this video has gone viral on the internet. Many people say that this hot pot restaurant owner has refreshed the upper limit of straight men, breaking through the limits of steel straight men."

"Do you think he did it on purpose, or did he really want to ask that question?"

"I don't know, but I really like the song he sang, an original song, 'Alive,' it really touched me."

"Not just that song, I searched for 'Qianqian Junzi' on Tengfei website, and he really released two songs yesterday, one 'Once You' and one 'Ordinary Road.' Both are very good. I paid to download them all."

"Is he really an original singer? The songs are good? I'll listen to them first..."

...

Zhou Qinghua pulled He Dongming aside and asked in a low voice, "Dongming, has Wang Qian signed with a talent agency?"

He Dongming shook his head, "Probably not. He signed with a talent agency right after graduation, but the contract has long expired."

Zhou Qinghua smiled, "Then do you think he would sign with Jianghua Entertainment?"

Jianghua Entertainment?

He Dongming looked at the assistant director.

He knew this talent agency, which was co-founded by a relative of a Zhejiang TV station leader, Zhou Qinghua, and the boss of the copyright owner of "The Voice." They signed all the contestants who became popular on "The Voice" in recent years.

Or, it could be said the other way around.

Only those who signed with their agency could become popular on "The Voice."

He Dongming showed a naive smile, "Director Zhou, it's not for me to say. But, this guy, he's usually unreliable, big-mouthed, and unwilling to accept constraints. He might cause trouble anytime, which could be a burden for the agency."

Zhou Qinghua smiled and patted He Dongming's shoulder, then turned and said in a low voice, "Zhu Yan, who came for the interview today, has already signed with Jianghua. Among the good prospects confirmed for the blind audition, as long as they don't have a contract, they will basically choose Jianghua. Help me tell Wang Qian, Jianghua would be his best choice."

This is the reality in the industry.

Want to be popular?

Then you can only join a camp and be lifted up high, then you might become popular.

Thinking of being popular on your own?

Go home and wash up, then sleep.

You can dream of anything.

He Dongming still smiled naively, nodded without saying a word, and watched Zhou Qinghua turn and leave. Only then did his naive smile fade, and his brows furrowed.

...

Su Feier did not expect that within half a day, her live broadcast video at Haidilao would become a hit on social media.

That stunned expression, big-time awkwardness, had already been made into memes, and many chat groups had started using them.

She stumbled out of Haidilao, turned off the live stream, and returned to the small place she had bought in the magic city after two years of hard work. After taking a shower and clearing her head, she felt a bit angry.

That guy.

He really is a titanium straight man.

Su Feier had already seen the screenshots of her video on social media, they were everywhere.

Of course, she wouldn't be angry.

As an internet celebrity, she would try anything legitimate to increase her popularity and grab attention.

Using her looks was the initial trick she used to rise to fame.

Now, thanks to Wang Qian, she had gone viral again, with her followers increasing by hundreds of thousands in just an afternoon, pushing her into the ranks of top-tier internet celebrities.

However, she noticed that many of her new followers were promoting two songs under her Weibo posts.

“The Haidilao owner is amazing. The two songs released by Qianqian Junzi are great, I've already downloaded them.”

“Once You, Ordinary Road, are a breath of fresh air in the independent music scene, really good.”

“Love Once You and Ordinary Road, and also Alive! It's a pity Alive can't be downloaded yet.”

“A singer delayed by a hot pot restaurant? I believe it... If the owner focuses on music, Li Qingyao might be nothing.”

...

Su Feier immediately remembered that Wang Qian had said he was called Qianqian Junzi on Tengfei and had released two songs, claiming to be an independent musician.

At the time, she listened with a mocking attitude.

She thought it might be another boring middle-aged man's pastime...

Now it seemed, maybe not?

Su Feier immediately logged onto Tengfei, searched for Qianqian Junzi, and found the two songs under his name.

Once You.

Ordinary Road.

The song titles were pretty good.

Both songs had many positive comments below them.

Su Feier first listened to a sample, and after just a few lines, she immediately downloaded Once You.

Then she sampled Ordinary Road, and again, after just a few lines, she paid to download it!

“This guy, is really a great original musician? These two songs are both excellent!”

Su Feier's eyes sparkled with light, and after listening to both songs, she was very surprised.

She also felt a small sense of accomplishment.

It was the joy of discovering a treasure.

She seemed...

To have found a treasure uncle?

Su Feier then searched for Qianqian Junzi on Weibo.

She found him!

And, from the photos posted a few months ago with Haidilao ads, it really seemed to be Wang Qian himself?

The follower count had reached over 500,000.

However, after looking at the comments below, she realized that the majority of them must have surged just this afternoon.

“Boss, I downloaded your two songs, they're really good. Next time I go to your store, can you sing Once You?”

“Boss Uncle, I'm going to Haidilao tonight. There are two Haidilaos, which one are you at?”

“Boss, let me ask you a sensitive question, what do you think about the gradually deteriorating global environment?”

...

Su Feier tagged Qianqian Junzi and posted on her Weibo: “Titanium straight man uncle, your two songs Once You and Ordinary Road are great, I've already downloaded them... Next time I go to your store, can I hear a live version of Ordinary Road?”

Su Feier's post was immediately boosted by fans and onlookers.

Many people who had downloaded the two songs wanted to go to Haidilao to hear Wang Qian's live performance.

As a result, the download numbers for the two songs skyrocketed.
