Qingkong Literature Editorial Department.
Zhou Sisi was on the phone.
"Grandpa, I'm at work, I don't have time to go to your Intangible Cultural Heritage event!"
She stamped her foot and said in a sweet voice.
Her grandfather, Zhou Zhengming, was the former president of the Opera Association.
The Intangible Cultural Heritage event this time, the opera association was the most popular category, so even though the old president had retired, he would still attend.
And he wanted his granddaughter to accompany him.
"Ai... Grandpa is old, even his granddaughter dislikes me."
"Here we go again!" Zhou Sisi heard her grandfather's words, her pretty face filled with helplessness, and then she said seriously, "Grandpa, I have a very important task to go to Shuangqing City this time, it's very important, it's related to my career. I'll go after I finish it, okay?"
No choice, it's her grandfather, she still had to coax him.
"Forget it, work is important. You go ahead and be busy. Tickets for this cultural event are very scarce, so I won't save yours. Giving it to Old Liu can earn me some goodwill."
Although Zhou Zhengming wanted his granddaughter to accompany him, he didn't want to disturb her career.
"Grandpa, you're not saying that out of spite, are you?"
"Of course not. What do you take your grandpa for? Although our family doesn't agree with you being an editor, Grandpa knows that you have to do your best in whatever profession you choose, so work is the most important thing."
"Hehe, Grandpa, you're so kind, I love you!"
Zhou Sisi happily hung up the phone.
Her relationship with her family had eased a lot when she returned home for the Lunar New Year.
Among them, the biggest reason was that she had promised her family that she would bring a boyfriend back for the New Year this year.
However, there was still a long way to go.
Finally, she had a year of leisure.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sisi dialed the number of her author, Jiangnan.
"Hello."
Zhou Sisi deliberately made her voice sweet.
"Something wrong?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be eating.
"Great Jiangnan, I'm your editor, Peach Blossom Eyes."
After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she shivered at her own tone, feeling disgusted.
"If you keep talking like that, I'm hanging up."
"Uh... Great Jiangnan, your book has ranked first in the third round of PK. I'd like to talk to you in person about the plot. Are you in Shuangqing City?"
Fearing that the other party would hang up directly, Zhou Sisi quickly switched to a normal tone and clarified the matter.
"I'm not in Shuangqing City."
"Then where are you?"
"I'm at the airport, preparing to go to Modu to watch the Intangible Cultural Heritage event. You can come directly to Modu."
"Ah, this..."
Zhou Sisi was stunned.
Then, she quickly said, "Okay, see you at the Intangible Cultural Heritage event!"
After finishing speaking, her pretty face fell.
She had just refused her grandfather's invitation to the Intangible Cultural Heritage event.
And now she had decided to go.
Wouldn't this be a bit bad?
Zhou Sisi thought for a long time. She originally wanted to go secretly, but the tickets for the cultural event were indeed hard to come by. In the end, she decided to call her grandfather.
"Grandpa, have you given the tickets away? If not, keep them for me!"
As soon as the call connected, Zhou Sisi said urgently.
On the other end of the phone, there was a few seconds of silence, and then a confused voice asked, "Why the sudden change of heart?"
Zhou Sisi's pretty face blushed, and she said playfully, "I suddenly realized that no matter how busy work is, I should spend more time with my family. Opera is Grandpa's lifelong hobby, and as a granddaughter, I naturally have to accompany you to such a grand event..."
"Alright, alright, you're giving me goosebumps. I've kept the tickets for you. Just come directly."
After Zhou Zhengming finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
Zhou Sisi listened to the dial tone and fell into a brief daze.
Is this still her biological grandfather?
She just acted a little cute, and he got goosebumps?
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Sisi shook her head and happily returned to her seat.
...
During this period.
The government had been actively promoting traditional culture.
Coupled with a few songs by Su Yu, the cultural atmosphere was ignited.
Some young people also gradually became interested in these traditional cultures.
This could be seen online.
In the past few months, many artisans had become popular through short video platforms.
A young girl playing the guzheng in a square abroad, drawing countless foreigners' admiration.
Traditional embroidery was filmed into short videos that became popular all over the internet.
A master of paper-cutting amazed countless people with a video of the magic of paper-cutting.
Some calligraphy masters and traditional Chinese painting masters also gradually became known.
Currently, the most popular is an old man who does wood carving, with over five million followers online.
Traditional culture is gradually being valued by young people.
The same goes for opera.
The opera vocalizations, once called old antiques, gradually became loved by young people.
"My parents said the opera performance on the Spring Festival Gala this year was boring, but my grandfather and I watched it with great interest."
"Haha, that's very true. I think opera culture is very trendy!"
"I really love the opera vocals!"
"I used to like going to nightclubs to dance, but now when I'm bored, I like to lie in Grandpa's recliner, drink tea, and listen to opera."
Traditional culture is gradually becoming a trend in the eyes of young people.
Cultural confidence is gradually returning.
"Brother Yu, the cultural event starts in two hours. Should we go in now?"
Gong Juren and Su Yu stood at the entrance of the venue.
A long queue had already formed, and the audience was gradually entering.
This grand event was divided into several areas. Besides the opera performance industry, there were also exhibitions of works by various artisans.
There were even industry influencers present.
It was a cultural event that combined tradition and modernity.
"Wait, I need to make a call first."
Su Yu took out his phone.
He had agreed to meet his editor over the phone.
He didn't know if she had arrived.
As soon as the call connected, before Su Yu could speak, Zhou Sisi directly said, "Jiang... Great Jiangnan, have you arrived?"
Zhou Sisi involuntarily wanted to use her cute voice, but remembering the previous warning, she immediately changed back to her normal voice.
"I'm at the main entrance."
"I'm also at the main entrance. What are you wearing?"
"A black hoodie. Beside me, a friend is wearing a red windbreaker."
"Okay, I'll come find you right away. Please don't hang up."
After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she scanned her surroundings.
However, due to the large crowd, she didn't see anyone wearing a black hoodie and a red windbreaker.
"We are on the left side of the entrance, at the VIP entrance."
At this moment, Su Yu added.
"Oh, oh, I'll be right there!"
Zhou Sisi was a little surprised. She had originally thought that Jiangnan would buy a regular ticket, which was why he was waiting in line. She didn't expect Jiangnan to have a VIP ticket.
Besides industry insiders, only wealthy people could obtain such tickets.
And which category did Jiangnan belong to?
She was suddenly filled with curiosity.
She ran all the way and finally arrived at the VIP channel.
From afar, she saw a man in a flashy red coat pinching the shoulders of someone in a black hoodie.
"I see you!"
Zhou Sisi's face lit up with joy.
Then she hung up the phone and ran over.
When she reached Su Yu, their backs were facing her.
She reached out and patted Su Yu's shoulder, smiling, "Great Jiangnan, I'm your editor, Peach Blossom Eyes."
At this moment, Su Yu turned around, and Gong Juren also turned around.
All three froze in place.
"Fu Nü editor?"
"Fu Nü editor?"
"Little Gong, Su Yu???"
