Chapter 127 - An Extraordinary Opponent
Toot ~.
The spout ofthe electric kettle spewed out long steam, and the low-pitched squeaking soundsechoed in the small building.
Tic!
The nextmoment, under the action of the automatic thermostat, the switch on the basejumps up and instantly cuts off the power.
Chen Xiangskillfully picked up the kettle and poured the boiling water into the preparednoodle cup.
A cup ofbraised beef noodles, plus half a pack of spicy and sour pickles and a spicy marinatedegg.
It wasalready 9 o'clock in the evening and this is his dinner.
There isreally nothing he can do about it. Today, all the employee in the company areworking overtime. They are already lucky if they can get back to the rentalroom before 9 o'clock. Sometimes when they work overtime until 11 o'clock orlater, Chen Xiang sleeps directly in the office.
Chen Xiang haslittle to complain about, because for a graduate from a third-rate university,this job as a base programmer is one of the best he can find in more than ayear.
At least hecan rely on his salary to support himself and survive in this big city with apopulation of 30 million.
Withoutwaiting for the noodle to be cooked, Chen Xiang went straight to the front ofthe computer.
Tonight isthe last round of "Singing China" tournament, which will determine the NationalTop 10 singers.
He will jointhousands of members of the Lu Family Army to cheer on Lu Chen!
Chen Xiangfirst met Lu Chen a few months ago.
At thattime, he was browsing around [Whale TV] and accidentally clicked on thenewcomer's recommendation on the home page. As a result, he entered Lu Fei'slive broadcasting roon and got to know the talented newcomer anchor who couldplay and sing.
He likes tolisten to Lu Chen's playing and singing, likes the anchor's optimism and humor,and also likes the other party's original folk songs.
However, thereal reason why Chen Xiang has become a die-hard fan is that Lu Chen, like him,is also a Beijing drifter.
Chen Xiangwatched Lu Chen become famous in [Whale TV] and watched Lu Chen walk out of theanchor circle, all the way to a broader world, and stood on the starry stage.
In Lu Chen,he saw the dream that he has been striving for!
Chen Xiangpaid more attention to the compet.i.tion in the evening and was absent-mindedwhen working overtime. Fortunately, Lu Chen has not yet gone on stage since theprogram started at 7:30 pm.
Otherwise,he can only watch the recorded video and would not be able to cheer for Lu Chenwith hundreds of thousands of fans.
On thecomputer screen, the fifth pair of compet.i.tors has just finished.
The tourteam's singer Mu Xiaochu, with the sweet song "Small Town Nocturne", narrowlybeat Bihai singing area challenger Gao Zhanpeng, with a score of 91.68, winningthe fifth place in the National Top 10. (TN: Not actually fifth place, but thefifth one to enter the national top 10. I think there's one last voting/electionthat will be held in Beijing for the placing.)
Comparedwith her opponent, her advantage is only 0.12 points!
Chen Xiangcame back late, so he saw only a little bit of the compet.i.tion between the twosides.
But that didnot stop him from applauding Mu Xiaochu and filling the live broadcast roomwith celebratory barrage.
Like Lu Chen, Mu Xiaochu came out from Beijing singing area.
All the waythrough, this charming girl, like the girl next door, showed to everyone hertenacious will, tenacious courage and commendable strength.
She and LuChen have a good relations.h.i.+p. The two are like brother and sister, and havemade several appearances on live videos.
As thesaying goes, when you love someone, love everything along with that person1,so Lu Chen's fans also fell in love with Mu Xiaochu.
Everyoneaffectionately called her: Little Sister Xiaochu.
Now, seeingMu Xiaochu defeat her opponent again, the live broadcast room was full ofjubilation, and the barrage flooded the screen like a tide.
