Chapter Two The variety show he had previously participated in had just aired, and Qi Shejiang himself was quite controversial, yet he had garnered a group of fans attracted by his looks. Coupled with everyone’s curiosity about the relationship between Xia Yiwei and Qi Shejiang, the interest was at its peak; the reports generated considerable attention. Qi Shejiang admitted he was Jesse, and the media raced to reprint it without mentioning that line, “I want to perform crosstalk next,” which also sparked a wave of discussion. — As long as Qi Shejiang had a punchline in the variety show, even if his skills were lacking, thanks to his appearance, there wasn’t much controversy. “You see, both the media and netizens think you’re joking!” This was on the way to the concert, Li Jing had come to the airport to pick up Qi Shejiang.
He and Xia Yiwei had arrived a day earlier, while Qi Shejiang had just gotten there. Until half an hour ago, he still didn’t think Qi Shejiang truly wanted to perform xiangsheng (Chinese comedic dialogue). He even felt this was a form of revenge from Qi Shejiang, as if to say, if you won’t let me be myself, I’ll go against you. As for why Qi Shejiang agreed to come to the concert, he hadn’t figured that out yet; he almost thought Qi Shejiang was messing with him and that he might not be able to meet him today.
At that time, he thought everyone should calm down a bit, but just after they met, he wanted to chat, and Qi Shejiang surprisingly showed an unprecedented seriousness that shocked him. Having been in this business for decades, Li Jing felt for the first time that his eloquence was blunt; Qi Shejiang’s bizarre dream was completely unrelated to what they expected from him! “Uncle Jing, I have always been very interested in xiangsheng, it’s just that you guys didn’t know,” Qi Shejiang said calmly. He didn’t understand how shocking this decision was to Li Jing; he had the psychological quality developed from years of performance, and the internet was even more mysterious to him than television—he hadn’t seen netizen comments at all, only heard a few read by Li Jing.
It was quite normal for Qi Shejiang to have hobbies that others didn’t know about.
