After reading just two pages, his small eyes widened: \"Wow! Blind auditions? Swivel chairs? What a sharp idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei smiled and handed over a napkin: \"So, interested in being the host?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ceng Ceng Zhiwei thumped his chest, sending crumbs flying: \"Leave it to me! Not to brag, but for on-the-spot reactions in all of Xiangjiang, if I'm second, no one dares claim first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew coming to you, Brother Wei, was the right move.\" Xiang Fei lifted his milk tea. \"But this time, the style needs to be more serious; cut down on the dirty jokes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ceng Ceng Zhiwei winked: \"Relax~ I know the difference between 'Enjoy Yourself Tonight' and a proper program.\" He suddenly lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At nine o'clock that night, just as Xiang Fei was revising the stage design sketches for \"Xiangjiang Good Voice,\" his phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Fei, your auntie has failed you...\" The voice of Chen Lan on the other end carried an apologetic tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei put down his pen: \"What's wrong, Auntie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding the judge position... I'm afraid we'll have to yield it to Xu Xu Guanjie.\" Chen Lan sighed. \"That fellow barged straight into my home yesterday and wouldn't let go of your Uncle Qiang's leg...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining the scene, Xiang Fei nearly burst out laughing: \"Teacher Xu Xu Guanjie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! He kept saying, 'I've waited thirty years for a program like this,' with tears and snot all over your Uncle Qiang's trousers.\" Chen Lan said helplessly. \"I figured his status in the music scene is high, so he's indeed more suitable than me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Auntie,\" Xiang Fei comforted her. \"I happen to need a chief commander backstage; how about you serve as the program producer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lan's voice immediately perked up: \"Really? Oh, my big nephew is so considerate! Tomorrow I'll go poach the directing team from TVB!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging up, Xiang Fei sent a text message to Xiang Qiang: [Uncle Qiang, thanks for the Xu Xu Guanjie matter.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reply arrived three seconds later: [That guy is now hugging my other leg and crying! Hurry up and get the program launched!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei shook his head with a smile and dialed Zhou Zhou Huimin: \"Ah Min, are you free tomorrow? I'll take you to meet someone interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft voice came from the other end of the line: \"Who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Guanjie.\" Xiang Fei blinked. \"He's currently hugging my Uncle Qiang's leg begging to be a judge; let's go fan the flames.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day at noon, at the Peninsula Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Guanjie was speaking volubly about his concepts for the program: \"The swivel chairs must have momentum! I suggest adding a 'bang' sound effect...\" Suddenly spotting Xiang Fei and Zhou Zhou Huimin entering, he immediately stood up: \"Fei-zi! Ah Min!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei smiled and shook his hand: \"Brother Sam, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Guanjie stared intently at the proposal: \"I must participate in this program! In all my years in the music scene, I've never seen such a fresh approach!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhou Huimin asked softly: \"Is Brother Sam planning to be a judge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\" Xu Xu Guanjie slapped the table. \"I want to personally unearth the good voices of Xiangjiang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before afternoon tea was even finished, Ceng Ceng Zhiwei's call came rushing in: \"Ah Fei! I heard Xu Xu Guanjie is joining? Then what about my role as host...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei walked to a corner: \"Don't rush, Brother Wei; your styles don't conflict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They conflict hugely!\" Ceng Ceng Zhiwei wailed. \"If that guy stands on stage, who will even look at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei lowered his voice: \"That's why I've arranged a special segment for you—in every episode, you can spoof one of the judges...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds of silence on the other end were followed by an sudden burst of sinister laughter: \"Hehehe... I'm going to mimic Xu Xu Guanjie singing on stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",700,"2026-06-17T20:39:14.290Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","c51f10b15a129683efdc15a67de7c70b27e3d34cefeda16da0a00d90ad28b09b","hong-kong-1984-building-a-cultural-empire-chapter-69","hong-kong-1984-building-a-cultural-empire-chapter-67",152,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhong-kong-1984-cover.jpg"]
