On January 5th, it has been ten days since Christmas.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, He Xiao got up.

Today is the day for Xingacang to hold its annual meeting. As a national chain of catering companies, and with the popular queen Zhang Ya, it is naturally more grand.

So He Xiao was not too sloppy. He took a shower early in the morning and rubbed his body inside and out with a bath towel, especially the face and neck, so that it was red and the bath towel was covered with mud.

This is not to say that his body is dirty, but the dandruff produced by normal metabolism of the human body and the secretions from the skin breathing. Even if he takes a bath every day, he will still be covered again the next day and will continue to grow.

Scrubbing is an addictive thing. You will feel relaxed, your mental state becomes very good, and you will be full of energy all day.

He Xiao put on a bath towel and looked in the mirror. He couldn't help but sigh. That sentence is true. The most handsome moment for a man is to go out of the bath, and the ugliest moment for a woman is to go out of the bath...

Because he just finished taking the photo shoot a few days ago, he didn't need to re-treat his eyebrows. He simply blew his hair and then walked downstairs and drove out.

Coincidentally, the place where Xingacang held the annual meeting this time was where Lin Yunkai took him to the party last time. From this we can see that this hotel is really powerful and often contracts some large-scale evening parties.

"Hey? Brother Yuan, I'm here. Have you entered the venue?" Sitting in the car, He Xiao took out his cell phone and called Xu Yuan.

He sent a text message in advance last night to inform the other party that he was coming to attend the annual meeting today. In order to prevent his identity from being unfamiliar, He Xiao still called him Brother Yuan.

"It's He... Brother Xiao, we've arrived, why don't I go out to pick you up?" Xu Yuan's voice didn't sound as bad as before, and inevitably had a major change in his attitude towards He Xiao.

He Xiao couldn't help but sigh. In the end, he couldn't eliminate this sense of distance.

No wonder, since he left Xingacang, he has been flying all the way and has less and less contact with his band partners at the time. Only when the third episode of "The Voice of Dreams" was broadcast, Xu Yuan and Li Yang called him to congratulate him. In addition, there was almost no contact in the days.

One is the hot super newcomer today, and the other is the bottom-level guitarist who is not even a star. This kind of identity difference will gradually become alienated even if the best friend once was.

He couldn't help but remember an article "Hometown" he read on his black phone. One of them tells the story of Mr. Lu Xun and Runtu. When the happy "Brother Runtu" shouted out, it was exchanged for a respectful "master", which was somewhat similar to this situation.

"No need... I'm at the door, just go in by myself." I felt a little moved in my heart. After two seconds of silence, He Xiao hung up the phone and walked into the hotel alone.

Because I came here once before, I was familiar with it. However, when I first came, there was no cover on his face, but now he has to wear a mask.

When he went to the second floor lobby, He Xiao saw a very eye-catching red banner in the air, with some inspirational celebration slogans written. The stage was also built, with various digital products and expensive snacks on it. It seemed that it should be the prize for today's annual meeting event.

There were already many people on the scene. In addition to the store managers in various cities, they were performing bands. In other words, almost everyone present played music.

On both sides are rows of dining tables. He Xiao passed through the middle and finally found the location of the third store of Yanjing Xingacang in the front row.

Because he attended the annual meeting as a "fore employee of the three stores" today and was not a special guest, so he did not have a big sign to let a group of people gathered in to welcome the VIP seat, but sat consciously next to Xu Yuan and the others.

"Sorry, I'm late."

He Xiao took off his mask and greeted everyone who hadn't seen for a long time. His tone was no different from before.

Everyone looked complicated, and their eyes were mixed with various feelings when they looked at He Xiao. Not only Brother Chen, Manager Liu, but also the store manager who had never met many times, looked at him with a strange look on his face.

How long has it been?

But it's just a year!

He Xiao has already moved from the little drummer in the pub to the height of being able to compete with top singers such as Zhang Ya and Tang Ming step by step in the face of audiences across the country.

An old saying often says that thirty years from Hedong to Hexi.

But now, this society full of unlimited opportunities does not take thirty years? Three months are enough to make a person change drastically.

"Brother Xiao, when I returned to the store to pick you up, you left in a hurry and I couldn't talk to you well. I'll give you a drink later!"

Brother Chen sat opposite He Xiao. The lead singer of the second group of bands who used to combed his big back and made He Xiao look up. Now he has shaved his hair short, his original hairstyle cannot be stretched out and he is much more humble.

"Brother Chen was joking."

He Xiao waved his hand. Speaking of which, he could be today, thanks to Brother Chen's "heroic broken leg". If it weren't for this incident, He Xiao wouldn't have taken over his shift.

After Brother Youchen made this decision, Li Yang, Manager Liu and other former colleagues also came to say hello and said some polite words of distantness.

During this period, some people from other tables noticed He Xiao and recognized his identity. They were surprised, but they didn't expect him to appear here.

Since the broadcast of "The Voice of Dreams", He Xiao has become a legend in Xingacang. There is no one who doesn't know him among the stores. Almost everyone knows that a rising star has emerged from their Xingacang.

Everyone has their own opinions on the fact that He Xiao can become famous.

Some people admire him and regard him as a role model, while others are jealous of him and think that it is okay for me to join me.

All kinds of eyes were revealed here, and He Xiao didn't care.

He sat there quietly, unable to see any celebrity airs, chatting with Xu Yuan and the others, and sharing some experiences in music.

During this period, Zhang Ya also showed up and said a few words surrounded by a group of Star Accord executives. At the same time, she also noticed He Xiao, nodded to him and showed kindness, and said nothing more.

Twenty minutes later, the annual meeting officially began.

A total of twenty-seven stores came to the scene. In addition to the store manager, each store sent a group of representative bands, which means there were a total of twenty-seven bands on the scene.

These twenty-seven bands represent the microcosm of millions of low-level musicians in China. They have no chance to debut, but they have always worked hard for their musical dreams. Perhaps many of them have been like He Xiao, who have been wandering singers and slept in cold park benches.

Now they are gathered together because of their dreams and drink a glass of wine together.

Looking at the musicians in the hall, He Xiao suddenly felt that he was not worthy of being called an "idol" like Li Chengxu.
