Sun Hao looked at the current scene of B City. Although it was not as magnificent as the later era, it was still very spectacular. After all, it was the center of the country's politics, economy, culture, scientific research, education, and international exchanges. This city with a population of 17 million seemed very prosperous.

Before he reached the door, he saw a big sign with a row of "XXX band" written on it. The words "Haotian band" were written on it, and some were probably from other cities.

Sun Hao and the others walked over and saw that the person holding the sign was a beautiful little girl. Beside her were a few other equally beautiful girls, all about seventeen or eighteen years old. It seemed that they were the etiquette ladies arranged by the competition organizing committee. There were also many people beside him. They seemed to be contestants from other bands.

"Hello, we are members of the Haotian band.”Sun Hao walked over and said to the pretty girl holding the sign.

"Hello, we are the staff in charge of this reception mission. Please follow this person, and we will arrange everything for you.”The pretty girl holding the sign smiled sweetly when she heard Sun Hao's words and pointed at another girl beside her.

"Wow, Ah Hao, we really made the right choice to come this time. Even the girl who received us is so beautiful. Will there be special services when we arrive at the hotel?”Lu Yifei whispered to Sun Hao while drooling when he saw so many beautiful women.

"Go to the side. How old are you? You only know this. If you want to arrange something, you have to arrange for an adult like me.”Song Chunfeng heard Lu Yifei's words from the side and took it over sarcastically.

Fortunately, the waitresses didn't hear them and were still waiting for their team. At this time, an equally beautiful girl walked out and said to Sun Hao and the others,"Hello, I'm the person in charge of your band this time. My name is Li Yuting. You can call me Xiao Ting.”

"Hehe, hello. I'm very happy to be of service to you. Do you mind introducing us to where we're staying tonight? How do I live exactly? Are you going to…Ah! Brother Li, why did you step on me?" When Lu Yifei saw the beautiful girl walking over, he hurriedly expressed his goodwill to the girl. However, Song Chunfeng, who was beside him, could not bear to listen to him anymore. If he continued to speak, the image of Haotian Band would be completely ruined. It would definitely be published in the newspaper tomorrow. Therefore, Song Chunfeng interrupted Lu Yifei before he could finish speaking.

"Oh, it's like this. All of our contestants will be staying at the Hilton Hotel in Wangfujing.”Li Yuting said to them.

Wangfujing. Sun Hao was too familiar with this name because he couldn't find a place every time he came to Beijing. He only knew Wangfujing. Therefore, every time he went to B City, he would take a taxi to Wangfujing first. After finding a place to stay, he would start moving.

Wangfujing started from Dongsi West Street in the north and ended at Chang 'an Street in the south. It was less than 1000 meters long, but it was the famous "First Street of China". It was also a must-see for tourists in B City.

Sun Hao remembered that in 1999, the three sections of Wangfujing Street from Jinyu Hutong to Dongdan were planned as pedestrian streets, and they became sister streets with the famous Champs Elysées in Paris. Since then, outdoor cafes and beer festivals were scattered on the pedestrian street in summer, which became a simulation and imagination of Europe.

Just like how the Bund was the architectural exhibition hall of S City, the various department stores gathered on Wangfujing Street were like fossils piled on different rock layers, showing the consumption landscape of B City in different eras. However, Beijingers were more interested in the B City Department Store, which opened in 1955. In the past, when there was a lack of material resources, shopping at the Beijing Department Store, which was known as the " First Store of the New Empire," was like dining at the neighboring BJ Restaurant. It was one of the few events that broke away from the norm of life and required extreme caution and anticipation. Therefore, the B City Department Store was to the people of B City, just like the Jinxiao Market was to the people of Jingdou. It was full of the symbol of the joy of the New Year. No matter how novel and stylish the Oriental Plaza was, it could not replace the position of the B City Department Store in the hearts of the people of Beijing. In fact, if one had to say that it had a long history, the Dong 'an Market was truly worthy of its name. In the 29th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, in order to rectify the appearance of the street outside Dong 'an Gate, the Qing government gathered the nearby vendors in the abandoned Eight Banners Military Training Ground, thus forming the Dong' an Market, which was also the starting point for Wangfujing to become a commercial street in the future.

Of course, the newly rebuilt Xin Dong 'an Market was no longer the same as before, but in the essays of the older generation of scholars, the lively scene of the old Dong' an was still visible. Most of the shops in Dong 'an Market were not there. Only Dong Lai Shun on the fifth floor, Old Beijing Street on the first floor, and China's Old Brand Street on the first floor, as well as statues of opera singers, haircuts, and rickshaws in front of the new Dong' an Market, left a few clues of the past.

Sometimes the trick history played was not to disappear or forget, but to make something exist in an unexpected way. In fact, the most European-style part of Wangfujing was not the pedestrian street, but the East Hall, a cathedral that had stood here since 1655 and was rebuilt many times due to earthquakes and fires.

There was still a fixed time for mass in the East Hall, but because of its classical European architectural style, it became the best place for wedding photos. The quick-witted wedding photography industry simply placed a pink antique car as a background outside the East Hall. This scene of a religious temple and a beautiful woman was like a respected old man wearing a pink bow tie. It was surprisingly comical. Wangfujing got its name because there was a palace and a well here. The well that had been buried was seen again in 1998 when the road was renovated. It was located at the north end of the pedestrian street. In fact, the current Wangfujing Street was once divided into three sections. From Dongsi West Street to Dengshikou Street, it was called Wangfu Street. From Dengshikou West Street to Jinyu Lane, it was called Bajiacao. From Jinyu Lane to Chang 'an Street, it was called Wangfujing Street. During the "*" period, these roads were merged into "People's Road". In 1975, it was renamed Wangfujing Street.

During Yuan Shikai's era, Wangfujing Street became Morrison Street. It was said that the reason was that the British journalist once wrote an article praising Yuan Shikai. In order to reward him, the Wangfujing Street where Morrison lived was changed to Morrison Street. From the old photos, one could still see a group photo of Morrison and his servant in front of their residence. Of course, this residence, located on the south side of the department store in B City, was now completely destroyed. Whether it was spiritual food or appetites, Wangfujing had everything. This was the reason why Sun Hao would come to Wangfujing every time he came to B City. There was everything here, and it was more convenient to do anything.

Not long after, all the bands that participated in the competition had arrived. Sun Hao realized that these bands were different from those in City H. He didn't have to look at anything else. He could tell from the bags that the equipment was in. Generally, good instruments were packed with good bags. No one was willing to give a bag that cost dozens of yuan to a musical instrument that they had bought for thousands of yuan. That would damage the instrument.

Including Sun Hao's band, there were a total of seven bands. If they included the local bands of B City, there would be ten, and all of them were experts. Therefore, it would be difficult to get a good result this time. Moreover, it was said that the venue for this competition was the 10,000-people stadium of B City. At that time, the competition would be held live in the form of a concert. There would be a lot of spectators, so Sun Hao was under more pressure.

For the past few months, they didn't know each other at this time, so they didn't have much communication. However, since Sun Hao and the others were the youngest in this group, everyone's attention was on them. Sun Hao could hear them discussing softly.

"Look, why is there such a young band? Do you think they're experts?”One of them asked the other members of their band.

"I don't think so. How can such a young child be an expert? Even if they practiced from elementary school, how long can they practice? Besides, the span of a person's little finger is not enough.”After looking at Sun Hao and the others, that person came to this conclusion.

"But isn't this a national competition? They must be the champions of some city. Otherwise, how could they enter the top ten in the country?”Another person heard their conversation and walked over to discuss in a low voice.

"It can't be *, right? Did he enter through connections? Or maybe he has an acquaintance in B City, so he came in. Anyway, I don't believe that such a young child can be better than us.”The person who said that Sun Hao and the others were young and had inflexible fingers continued.

In short, no one believed that Sun Hao and the others were strong. Everyone was curious about how these kids got into the finals.

However, Sun Hao and the others didn't pay attention to these discussions because Sun Hao knew that most people would think that they were the strongest. When they didn't see that others were stronger than them, they would think that the other party couldn't compare to them. Only when they truly recognized that the other party was stronger than them would they understand. However, at that time, they would also say disdainfully,"Isn't he just a little stronger than me? What's so great about it? I'll definitely surpass you one day.”Human psychology was like this. After two lifetimes, how could Sun Hao not understand these people's thoughts?

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the hostess began to arrange for all the bands to gather together. Then, everyone walked out of the departure hall together. Sun Hao saw a large number of cars parked in the parking lot at the entrance. It was almost impossible to see the end of them. Without the hostess leading the way, it would be a problem for them to walk out.

Under the lead of the hostess, everyone came to the front of a few buses. Ten bands got on three buses. Without saying much, the bus drove in the direction of Wangfujing. Along the way, they looked at the bustling city outside the window. Lu Yifei and the others were very excited. However, because there were other bands on the bus, Song Chunfeng told Lu Yifei and the others to keep a low profile. No one spoke loudly. However, they turned around and looked at the other bands. It seemed that this was their first time in B City, and they were all looking at new things. At this moment, they were making a big fuss.

"Wow, look, what a tall building.”

"What a wide street."

"There are also foreign girls. F * ck, I just want to carry one home tonight.”……

Hearing these words, Sun Hao's face darkened. What kind of people were these?

After driving for 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the hotel where the band was " staying ", the Hilton Hotel. Sun Hao had been to this hotel a few times in his later life, but because the rooms were relatively expensive, about two to three thousand yuan a day, he had not stayed there too many times.

At this moment, a large group of entertainment reporters had already received the news at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel. At this time, entertainment reporters were not as powerful as paparazzi in the future, but they were about there. When they saw Sun Hao's car driving over, they surrounded it before it stopped. They took pictures randomly, causing the band in the car, including Sun Hao's group, to be a little frightened by this situation. Sun Hao was better off. After all, the bands that he had formed in his later life were more or less famous. He was not nervous when facing reporters. However, some bands from small cities had never seen such a scene before. Some simply lay down so that the reporters could not take photos of them. For a moment, no one dared to get out of the car.

The reporters from B City were really crazy. When they saw that no one was getting out of the car, they kept urging the driver to open the door. It seemed that if they didn't open the door, they would smash the car and rush in.

After a period of chaos, the police officers who had heard the news finally managed to maintain order. The car door slowly opened, and under the lead of the hostess, Sun Hao and the others got out of the car one by one.
