"Beauty pageant?" Qin Rou, who was invited to be the judge of the beauty pageant, was surprised.
Director Wu said: "It's the idea of the heart-to-heart program group. Their program group has accumulated a lot of experience for the station since its establishment... A few days ago we went to Guangdong Province to hold a meeting, and there will be a beauty pageant there next year. Our TV station also has an idea, and it just so happens that China Southern Airlines intends to select a group of stewardesses... "
"Let's join hands with the South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce to hold a South Island beauty pageant together."
Since the 1980s, Qiongzhou Island has entered into a period of rapid development, and with the resumption of the college entrance examination, thousands of graduates are assigned to Qiongzhou Island every year, injecting countless young fresh blood into the island.
In addition, the song "Please come to the ends of the earth" has been sung and popular in recent years, and it even appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, making Qiongzhou Island more and more popular.
Tourists from all over the country come and go to Qiongzhou Island, and a lot of funds from Hong Kong, Macao and foreign countries have invested in factories and industries, planting pineapples, mangoes, coffee beans and other economic crops, and fruit canning factories have been built one after another... It is not clear whether it is Coconut City or Lucheng, All are changing rapidly.
…
Director Wu and others thought it was the right time to hold a beauty pageant at this time.
"Our South Island Chamber of Commerce, as well as my Xunrou Pearl Factory and my sister's pearl clothing can provide you with support for this beauty contest, but this judge... I'm afraid I'm not suitable." Qin Rou shook her head: "I don't The experience of being a beauty pageant judge.”
Comrade Xiao Qin never thought that he could be elected as a beauty judge.
Director Wu smiled wryly and said, "We have never had a beauty pageant in our country. We just cross the river by feeling the stones. Everyone has no experience! Not only you, everyone has no experience as a judge, so we can only feel our way."
"President Qin, you have ideas, let's brainstorm together to make this South Island beauty pageant a success."
"The government attaches great importance to this beauty pageant. If it can be successfully held, it will definitely greatly increase Qiongzhou Island..."
…
Holding a beauty pageant is indeed a very good way of publicity, which can increase the reputation and prestige of Qiongzhou Island at home and abroad, and attract the attention of Chinese people.
Listening to Mr. Wu's sincerity, Qin Rou really intends to get involved.
"We have also learned about international beauty pageants. At present, our Chinese people may find it difficult to accept swimsuits..."
Nowadays, many international beauty contests have a swimsuit competition.
Although the economy has been open for many years, everyone’s thinking is still relatively conservative at this time. Young girls are not willing to show their bodies too much. In the filming of Journey to the West, many female fairies are unwilling to show their navels. In fact, they are filmed as substitutes. Little brother's belly.
The crew of Journey to the West, which is currently being filmed, once visited Qiongzhou Island. The part where the Monkey King was born was filmed on the island. It is not known whether it was inspired by Tang Seng riding a horse.
Qin Rou: "Then contestants can also wear cheongsams, dress skirts, Hanfu, wedding dresses, and ethnic costumes on the island... they can even use gorgeous phoenix crowns and drapes to display their temperament and manners, and at the same time, they can also promote our traditional culture."
Everything has to be done step by step. Although swimsuit shows are popular outside the beauty pageant, there is no need to show swimsuits for beauty pageants as soon as you come up on the island.
"A costume design team should be found to individually customize the costumes of the finalists."
"Our South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce can provide the contestants with clothing accessories and even pearl crowns."
"The beauty pageant on the island will definitely attract domestic attention. Such a beauty pageant is also the best occasion to showcase our South Island pearls."
After Qin Rou invested and built the pearl craft garden, she also found someone to build a hot spring hotel in Nanyu. As a tropical island, Qiongzhou Island is rich in geothermal energy. There are countless hot spring spots on the island. Qin Rou has long planned to Develop several hot spring centers.
Not only hot springs, but also hotels with sea view rooms.
At present, the Nantian Hot Spring Center that Qin Rou asked someone to build has been built and has not yet been put into use. Another resort hotel with sea view rooms is still under construction. To be honest, the sea view rooms are beautiful, but maintenance is also very troublesome. People basically don't like to live near the sea. This kind of sea view room is more suitable to meet the requirements of foreigners. For those who have never seen the sea, the sea view room is a dream place to live.
"My hot spring center and sea view room hotel have not been put into use yet, and they can be used as venues for beauty pageants next year."
This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, and her hot spring center and sea view rooms can also catch the spring breeze of publicity.
Of course, even if she doesn't do publicity, Qin Rou is not worried that her hot spring center won't make money. Even if she can't make money, she still wants to build a hot spring center, at worst, it will be a private hot spring recuperation center.
—Because soaking in hot springs is so comfortable! !
Qin Rou herself can't wait for the opening of the Nanyu Hot Spring Center, the fish therapy pool, hot spring eggs... Especially in winter, when the weather turns slightly cooler, the hot spring pool is surrounded by white smoke, but it is surrounded by green forests and the sky is high. The cloud is light, it is definitely a fairyland on earth! ! !
Winter holiday health resort.
"Great!! Xiao Qin, you have really helped us a lot!!" Upon hearing that Qin Rou could provide a venue, Director Wu was even happier.
Judging from the layout and vision of the Pearl Craft Garden, the hot spring center and sea view hotel that Qin Rou created this time will never disappoint.
It takes beauty, beauty, food and beautiful islands to get people's attention.
Qin Rou then went to the TV station to discuss with Director Wu and others how to organize the Qiongzhou Island beauty pageant. At the same time, she met the genius copywriter of the "Heart Connected" program group, namely Xiao Zhang and Zhang Yuanjun.
This little Zhang is wearing a pair of glasses and ordinary shirt and trousers. Although he looks ordinary on the outside, this person's thinking is not ordinary at all, and he has a lot of ghost ideas.
Most of the program scripts that Qin Rou heard before were thought up by him. Not only can he be eloquent, but he is also a good pen and can write.
Xie Ru'an and this little Zhang get together, it is simply a combination of "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix".
Two people get together, just like seven or eight parrots get together, they can talk about cross talk.
Xie Ru'an said that Qin Rou is his Bole, and Zhang Yuanjun also said that Qin Rou is his noble person.
Xie Ru'an said: "If I hadn't met Chairman Qin, I would still be a teacher right now!"
Zhang Yuanjun said: "If President Qin hadn't mentioned something, I would have nothing to do every day, wasting my youth, and finding no value in life!"
"President Qin is really Bole!"
…
As soon as Zhang Yuanjun graduated from university, he was assigned to Qiongzhou Island, and even accidentally joined the newly established TV station in Qiongzhou Island. This TV station was just established, with nothing, and no audience. He had nothing to do every day. Although Zhang Yuanjun still received his salary, But as a college graduate, his skills are useless, so he can't help but feel sorry for himself.
After the preparation of the "Heart Connected" program started, Zhang Yuanjun finally found the stage of his life!
He released himself to the fullest on this stage, and finally shined in the TV station, and was reused by the director.
All of this is due to Chairman Qin.
Every time Zhang Yuanjun saw Qin Rou, he would praise Qin Rou endlessly: "President Qin, you are really a role model for women in the new era, and you are the most knowledgeable woman I have ever seen..."
"At the beginning when I was assigned to Qiongzhou Island, my parents were crying, thinking that I was assigned to some kind of messy place, and worried that I would not find someone on the island, but now they don't worry anymore , even if I can't find my way home, I can't find my partner!"
Zhang Yuanjun runs the train with his mouth full. He is in the best season of spring. The heart-to-heart show he participated in is very popular. He is also rising with the tide, and he walks vigorously.
Qin Rou listened to him with a smile, thinking that you should not talk too much, sometimes the flag will come true if you set it up randomly.
You are a matchmaker for others, in case you, a "matchmaker", can't find a match!
——It was the guy in front of her who wrote so many weird promotional copywriting for her to help her promote, she had already remembered this guy!
"Xiao Zhang, you are also a very thoughtful person. Have you ever thought about writing a script?" Qin Rou said to Zhang Yuanjun. She felt that if the person in front of her didn't write a script, it would be a waste of his ability.
Qin Rou intends to find something for him to do.
Zhang Yuanjun was taken aback: "Write a script? What kind of script?"
"After the beauty pageant is over, it's better to pick out a few suitable candidates, and let's make a simple TV series together, or it's called... a sitcom."
"Sitcom?"
"Yes, I've already thought of the name. It's called "The Story of the Travel Agency". The protagonist is a new tour guide who came to Qiongzhou Island. He meets all kinds of island tourists in the travel agency. It's a warm and funny story." Qin Rou thought The beauty pageant is already open, why not take this opportunity to invest in a small-budget sitcom.
Big IPs like "Feng Shen Bang" and "Liao Zhai" can't be filmed, and it doesn't cost much to shoot some sitcoms.
Anyway, it is the story of the travel agency on the island. The whole story revolves around the storytelling of tour guides and tourists, and also promotes various landscapes and cultures on the island. Such a sitcom is not only a TV series, but also a tourism promotional film and witty advertisement.
It doesn't cost a lot of money to invest in such a sitcom.
"Xiao Zhang, you know how to create and understand the cultural landscape of the island. I think you can try to write such a script."
Zhang Yuanjun was stunned: "??!!!"
Create a screenplay! ! !
Zhang Yuanjun has never thought that besides engaging in TV programs, there is such a possibility in his life.
"President Qin... I'll try."
Zhang Yuanjun really didn't dare to promise, oh my god, that's writing a script!
"I'm going to see Mr. Xie to see if he has any ideas."
Qin Rou thought to herself, go ahead, I'll feel at ease when you are busy, don't keep your eyes on her and make some weird things.
The beauty pageant here is under preparation and is expected to be held around March to April next year, and they still have some time to prepare.
"Beauty contest?" During the meal, Lu Yan heard her talking about the beauty contest.
"That's right, we've discussed it. The Qiongzhou Island Beauty Pageant is also called the South Island Miss Tourism Contest."
Lu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Are you going to participate in the beauty pageant?"
Qin Rou put down her chopsticks: "Your wife is going to be a judge!"
She went to a beauty pageant? Do you endorse your own pearls, and then invest in filming for yourself
Lu Yan joked with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, if you go to participate, you might win a prize. By then, Doudou Rongrong's mother will be South Island Tourism Miss."
Qin Rou clicked her tongue twice: "When people participate in beauty pageants, young unmarried women are generally required to participate in beauty pageants. Comrade Lu Yan, if we go back to more than ten years ago together, we don't get married. Your wife and I can participate in the beauty pageant now gone."
"That's impossible." Lu Yan pinched her face: "You should sit seriously on the judge's table."
"That's right!" Rather than being a contestant, it's more comfortable to be a referee, "Your comrade Xiaoqin wants to be a female boss, and find a South Island tourist lady who is both intelligent and beautiful, and speak for my Xunrou Pearl."
Lu Sining said: "Wisdom and beauty coexist? Isn't that me, Rongrong? I want to participate in the beauty contest!"
Lu Siyao said: "I want to go too!"
"Mom, you are married, we are not married!"
Lu Yan said calmly: "You are too young, let's talk about it when you grow up to the height of your father's shoulders."
Lu Siyao: "We can go when we are taller than mom!"
Lu Sining: "Hurry up!"
Qin Rou: "Hey! Warn you father and daughter, why do you decide that I am the shortest in the family??"
These careless stinky daughters are no longer mother's heart-warming little padded jackets, but they all have ambitions to surpass their mother in height.
Lu Yan smiled, and threw the peeled shrimp into her bowl as a comfort, her eyes seemed to say: That's the truth, don't struggle.
Lu Sining: "Because grandma and aunt are all tall!"
Lu Siyao: "Daddy is tall too!"
Qin Rou: "..." But your mother is not short either!
Just because their mother is not short, these two little children are estimated to be taller than their mother.
When taking family portraits in the future, she is really the shortest one in the family.
"Mom, don't worry."
Lu Weizhou, as the mother's eldest son, immediately comforted: "Let Jiaozi find a daughter-in-law who is a little bird in the future. Mom, you are not the shortest in the family."
Lu Weize: "Why am I looking for it and not you?"
The elder brother is actually generous to others.
Lu Weizhou calmly said: "Brother just thinks that you will like someone who is like a little bird, just like Dad."
Lu Weize: "Maybe, I think shorter is cute."
Lu Yan laughed: "It's quite cute—"
After a pause, Lu Yan added: "Cute and beautiful."
Qin Rou gritted her teeth: "You guys, don't borrow money in advance to grow taller!"
Where did they learn their bragging habits, and they haven't grown that tall yet.
"Your mother, I'm not short!" She was only a little bit short of 1.65 meters, definitely not particularly short.
How old are these two poor children? They are only twelve years old, and now they are thinking about marrying a wife in the future, and also wanting to find someone who is as cuddly as their mother.
Set up the flag now, and be careful that the two brothers will find a partner who is 1.8 meters in the future, and the other will find a partner who is 5.5 meters, which will form a strong contrast.
As a graduate student of Lingnan University, Qin Rou is now also cooperating with Lingnan University. She plans to set up a biomedical laboratory in Guangcheng and Qiongzhou Island respectively to study pearl cosmetics, skin care products and pearl health care products.
One laboratory is used to study the active ingredients of pearls, and the other laboratory is used to study cosmetics.
Hope to establish a Xunrou pearl cosmetics production line in the next few years.
At present, the products sold are mainly pearl handicrafts and pearl powder. Soon, pearl masks will also be produced.
It’s the season of high pearl production again. This year’s pearl sales are very good. Every year at the end of the year, it is the peak tourist season for Qiongzhou Island. The tourists who come to visit come one after another, and the sales of the pearl craft garden are very hot.
Several pearl farming factories have expanded their farming scale, and several new pearl farming factories have been opened, most of which are small workshops.
Qin Rou held a meeting with members of the Chamber of Commerce and discussed at the meeting: "We can't continue to over-expand the production scale in Linshui."
If we continue to expand the scale of pearl cultivation in Linshui, the seawater environment here will sooner or later become unbearable, and the seawater pollution will be serious, and the quality of pearls produced here will also decline.
"There are fewer and fewer wild mother-of-pearls that can be salvaged in recent years."
…
"Researchers at the experimental station over there have given a conclusion... If there is too much inbreeding of mother-of-pearl, it will lead to species degeneration in the future... "
At the meeting, Qin Rou suggested artificial deep sea stocking of pearl oyster seedlings to reduce the fishing of wild pearl oysters in certain areas.
"In addition, after site selection, our Xunrou Pearl Factory took the lead in establishing a new pearl breeding base on Mingsha Island."
The other members of the chamber of commerce were very hesitant: "Pearl King was born in Xin Village, and many people came here for the pearls in Xin Village. If they were cultivated in another place, would the cultured pearls be comparable to the pearls grown in the water? ?”
"The newly selected site has been identified by researchers in the Gulf. The natural conditions there are more suitable for pearl cultivation. This site is rarely affected by annual typhoons..."
No matter what the other members of the chamber of commerce choose, Qin Rou's Xunrou Pearl Breeding Factory will establish a pearl breeding base in the newly selected place.
The area there is relatively remote, and Qin Rou's treatment for the cultivators is also extremely high. Of course, what is more important is to mobilize the local people of Mingsha Island to participate in pearl cultivation.
At this time, Boss Huang and his wife from Zhongying Street also gave good news: "Your pearls are selling very well!"
"Especially this gold feather necklace. Everyone who buys a necklace will bring a pearl."
"If you have more pearl necklaces, you can sell them in our store..."
…
Another pearl sales channel has been added, and the pearl business on the island continues to boom day by day. Even those who open a small workshop can make a lot of money. Some have saved enough money and plan to wait two years to build a small mansion.
Sister Qin Mian's family has also saved a lot of money over the years, and originally decided to build a new house, but now Chen Jingyi has gone to college, and he is studying architecture at Huaqing University. Qin Mian thought, "Wait later Jing Yi graduated, let him design a house for his parents."
"Live in a house designed by my son, that's what you want!"
Chen Jingyi couldn't help but said to his mother: "Even if I design it for the family now."
Qin Mian: "You, you haven't graduated from college yet, what if the house you designed is prone to landslides?"
"Your mother, I'm afraid."
Ms. Qin Mian wants to live in a house designed by her own son, but she is worried that the house designed by her own son is unreliable, so she is very entangled.
This is the same as a classmate studying medicine in a class, making people unable to trust his medical skills. After all, you have seen him in private in the classroom and other unreliable situations.
Chen Jingyi: "..."
"Hurry up and take more classes and listen to the teacher more, so as not to build a dilapidated house in the future."
Chen Jingyi was helpless: "Mom, I don't build dilapidated houses."
Architects don't harm the family. If even the simple house at home is built into a dilapidated house, how can they design the building
"Just an ordinary small western-style building, even if you don't hire a designer, it won't collapse if you build it casually?"
Qin Mian said: "That's not sure, after all, there are strong typhoons on our island."
…
When Qin Rou listened to the phone call between their mother and son, she thought it was very funny.
Speaking of Qin Mian's pursuit of stability, she sometimes has a lot of ideas: "The building in Guangcheng has a revolving restaurant! Can we set up one at home?"
Chen Jingyi: "...It's not necessary." The revolving restaurant in the high-rise is used to overlook the scenery.
"Jing Yi, come back this year for Chinese New Year?"
"Well, Auntie, when the time comes, I'll ask someone to grab the train ticket for me."
"Come back with your brother."
Chen Jingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "My brother has a partner now."
Qin Mian on the other end of the phone was about to blow up, and Qin Rou was also shocked, but considering Chen Jinghua's age, it was indeed time to talk to someone.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mian was excited and anxious in front of his younger sister Qin Rou: "I, I, I... Sister, do you think your sister and I are going to be grandmas?"
Qin Rou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Even if Jinghua gets married next year, you will have to wait another year or two before becoming a grandma."
"My sister, you are still so beautiful, and you can still participate in the beauty pageant. How come your sister and I are going to be grandmas?"
"Then you - aren't you the aunt?"
"Oh, what a beautiful aunt!"
Qin Rou: "..." She is only in her thirties. She is currently thirty-two years old, and next year she will only be thirty-three years old. Will she be promoted to grandma's generation
"Sister, don't think about it too quickly. She's just talking about someone right now, and she's not married. When Jinghua brings her back in the future, no matter how anxious you are, you'll have time."
Qin Mian sighed: "I don't care if the man brings him back. He can choose whatever he likes. When my brother-in-law saw you as a little pepper, he married him without even thinking about it."
Qin Rou has no expression on her face: "Brother-in-law met you, a hot girl from the mountains, and married without even thinking about it."
"Lu Yan doesn't like spicy food, so I won't cook spicy food for him. Sister, you often cook mapo tofu and spicy shrimp for brother-in-law—"
Qin Mian: "..."
Chen Mian, who just came back, heard the two sisters chatting, and said helplessly, "It's even more difficult for me to be my brother-in-law."
They all married a hot girl, so why can her brother-in-law Lu Yan live a happy eating life after marriage.
Every time I think about Principal Chen, I feel envious and jealous.
Qin Mian said with disgust: "It's been so many years, you still can't get used to peppercorns, you're really useless."
Qin Rou said on the side: "The pepper grown on our island is quite delicious, sister, when you cook noodles, sprinkle more pepper."
Chen Mian clicked his tongue twice: "Both of you sisters are disturbing."
"The people on the island are still smart. You see, even the hottest yellow pepper can be made sweet for you."
At the end of the year, Chen Juanjuan came back first, and she brought a young female friend with her when she came back. This time, Chen Juanjuan did not say hello when she came back, but quit her job as an English teacher. She planned to return to work on Qiongzhou Island.
Her friend Feng Yulan kept persuading her: "You really don't want to be an English teacher? This is a public teacher in a good school, and it's a decent job that everyone envies."
Most people think that women are most suitable to be teachers. Teachers are the most secure and comfortable jobs. Most in-laws like a daughter-in-law who is a teacher. She not only has winter and summer vacations, but also takes care of and educates children. She is very family-friendly.
Chen Juanjuan shook her head: "I originally thought that I was suitable to be a teacher just like my father, but I have seriously thought about it recently, and the job of a teacher is not suitable for me."
"Is it because of Sun Ming?" Chen Juanjuan talked to Sun Ming at school, and later stayed in the north because of him.
Chen Juanjuan secretly talked about someone in school, but she didn't tell her family about it. After graduation, she was assigned to be a teacher in a certain school in the capital. Sun Ming's family is also in the capital. His parents are very satisfied with Chen Juanjuan's job, but they don't like her very much. The background of the island came and felt too far away.
"It's not really, I want to come back. No matter how I persuade myself, I still can't accept that kind of life." As an English teacher, the job of a teacher is indeed not difficult. life at the end.
Sun Ming's parents said inside and out that it is good to be a teacher. After she got married, she was asked to take care of her husband and raise her children at home, which revealed a kind of value: the focus of your future life is to have children and take care of them.
As long as you give birth to a child, especially a boy, you will be a great contributor to the Sun family. In the future, if you take care of the child well, even if you don't work and have nothing to do at home every day, the in-law's family will support you.
You don't need to work hard anymore, our family doesn't need you to make money, you, just be a glamorous teacher...
"How many girls are envious of not being able to come to such a day."
"Be content, you found our Sun Ming."
…
Although the words of the Sun family showed her a "happy and easy life in the future", Chen Juanjuan felt uncomfortable no matter what she heard.
To be a safe and steady teacher? To be an obedient and sensible daughter-in-law in the Sun family? Still the kind of little daughter-in-law that everyone envies...
Such a life is very easy, but it is not the life Chen Juanjuan wants to live. She struggled for several months and finally decided to quit her teaching job. For this reason, Sun Ming also chose to break up with her.
Chen Juanjuan didn't regret it. After she separated from Sun Ming, she felt a lot more relaxed. Perhaps, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to live that kind of life as a good wife and mother.
When I was admitted to university, the economy had not been open for a long time, and I was a student, and I didn’t have much exposure to the outside world. Many of Chen Juanjuan’s cognitions were ignorant, and she felt that being a teacher would be a good choice in life. Grandpa and Dad They are all teachers.
After experiencing college life and seeing the social changes in recent years, Chen Juanjuan has become more and more aware of the world, and she began to feel that being a teacher is not the job she most desires to do.
It was too ordinary, and she was afraid of this kind of endless days.
Although many people persuaded her to stay, Chen Juanjuan quit her job as an English teacher.
"Juanjuan, you want to go back to Qiongzhou Island. I heard that there is no winter and no snow on Qiongzhou Island?"
"Yes, I've never seen snow on the island."
Feng Yulan is Chen Juanjuan's good friend. Hearing that she quit her job and went back to Qiongzhou Island, she couldn't help being curious about Qiongzhou Island. She also followed her south to the southernmost Qiongzhou Island, hoping to experience the life of the South Island in winter.
The two traveled all the way south, and the clothes on their bodies became less and less. When the two of them got on the train, it was snowing in the capital. They were wrapped in thick clothes, and they took off their clothes all the way south. When they arrived in Guangcheng, there were only two clothes left on their bodies. After that, we arrived at Qiongzhou Island by boat.
Chen Juanjuan was not seasick, Feng Yulan vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables on the boat, and kept muttering: "I'm on a pirate ship..."
Didn't he board a pirate ship? She knew that Qiongzhou Island was far away, but she didn't expect it to be so far away. She had to take a train and a ship, but she was still seasick. Halfway through, she wanted to back down several times, but she came when she thought about it again, didn't it? Shouldn't you go to the ends of the earth to see it
That's how she came all the way with the thief boat.
After getting off the boat, the sun was very strong at the moment, Feng Yulan took off her coat and put it on her body, sighing: "This... isn't this really summer?"
