Chapter 492 New Year’s Eve
"Didn't you notice that there are fewer regulars at the party today?"
Hearing Qiao Yingzi's question, Chen Jinnian searched the box carefully.
He first thought that Lin Lei'er didn't come, but then he realized that the students who came today were all from the old third class. As a transfer student in the senior high school sprint class, Lin Lei'er was not invited at all.
Then he realized who was missing.
"Hey, where's Ji Yangyang? I've been spending the New Year in Beijing, so why isn't he here?"
"He is in South America and won't be back until the end of the month," Huang Zhitao explained.
"Huh?" Chen Jinnian was puzzled. "Did their family go on a trip? That's impossible. His parents can't go abroad with their status."
"Have you forgotten that he's been preparing for the game?"
After Huang Zhitao's reminder, Chen Jinnian remembered that Liu Zheng and Ji Yangyang had set up a racing team. Then he felt a little scalp-numbing and asked in an unbelievable tone.
"Is Ji Yangyang really going to participate in the Dakar Rally?"
"Yes, he's already halfway through the 14 stages and will compete in the remaining stages next week. If his car isn't destroyed, there's a good chance he'll be able to finish the race."
Huang Zhitao was helpless because she didn't know what the point was of Ji Yangyang spending millions of his own money and a year preparing and training just to have a chance of finishing the race.
At least from her point of view, it is inexplicable.
Chen Jinnian rubbed his nose. In fact, he didn't understand either, but Ji Yangyang had the money to do it, so it was purely a personal hobby. He understood and respected it.
"Then I wish him well in finishing the race, and we'll get together again when he comes back."
"You talk to him yourself." Huang Zhitao did not agree.
Chen Jinnian was a little stunned after hearing this.
Unable to stop him from asking any more questions, Wang Yidi hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and then dragged him out of the box.
But after leaving, Chen Jinnian was still confused, "What was wrong with Tao Zi's attitude just now? She didn't say anything sensitive."
"It's not sensitive enough. You mentioned Ji Yangyang in front of Huang Zhitao, which is already very sensitive."
Wang Yidi explained in a low voice, then put on his hat, and after making sure that there was no one else nearby, he whispered stealthily into Chen Jinnian's ear.
"They're breaking up. Yingzi told me they've been together and apart twice already. I just don't know if they're breaking up or getting back together this time."
Chen Jinnian raised his eyebrows, suspecting that Wang Yidi was teasing him.
Wang Yidi instantly understood what he meant from his face, then raised his hand and hit his coat in displeasure.
"Can I still lie to you?"
"That's not what I meant." Chen Jinnian explained, "It's just that I hadn't heard any rumors before, and suddenly told me that they were breaking up, which is a bit beyond my comprehension."
"It's normal. You're too busy, and you guys don't like to gossip with each other. I don't know if there are any accidents. Even I only heard about it in the past few days."
After Wang Yidi finished explaining, she smoothed her hair and put on the mask again, covering herself tightly.
"Let's go pick out some gifts! Beijing is really cold."
Coming from Shenzhen, where the temperature is over 10 degrees Celsius, to Beijing, where the temperature is below zero, Wang Yidi felt a little uncomfortable. Air conditioning and heating are her life, and she has to muster up courage every time she goes out.
"Just buy anything. My grandparents never lack anything."
"No, I can't do that. You can't mess around with gifts for elders. My mother specifically told me that before I came."
Wang Yidi shook her head. She had her own insistence on bringing those gifts.
And there were quite a lot of things to buy. In addition to Chen Jinnian's grandparents, she also had to take Chen Jinnian's grandparents into consideration.
"Okay, that's up to you."
The two of them left the private room area while chatting, called Sister Lan who was waiting in the lounge area, and hurried out of the KTV.
In the evening, grandma was naturally very happy that Chen Jinnian brought Wang Yidi home. She held Wang Yidi's hand the whole time and kept showing concern and giving instructions.
The old man's fickleness made Chen Xuanyue, who was about to turn two years old, very jealous. She pouted her mouth and drooped her eyebrows, looking like she was impossible to coax.
In the end, Chen Jinnian carried her out and went shopping in a nearby supermarket before he coaxed his sister into peace.
In fact, there is a faster way to coax a child, which is to set off some cold fireworks for Chen Xuanyue to watch.
But this thing is considered fireworks and has been banned across the city. Not to mention setting them off, you can't even buy them in areas within the Fifth Ring Road.
Fireworks are only allowed to be set off during the period from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, within the specified time in specific areas outside the Fifth Ring Road.
……
The Spring Festival is a day of rest for ordinary people, but for celebrities it is a busy working day, and they will be offered all kinds of work.
Some attend events, and some attend parties.
In order to stay at home for the New Year, Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi turned down invitations from various connections.
Among them, the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala is the most attractive. Being able to watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala in the VIP area is indeed a very special experience.
Although the tickets were attractive, the two still declined.
The main reason is that the Spring Festival Gala is really not good. You can watch it at home and change the channel if you don’t like it.
But in CCTV's Studio No. 1, with countless cameras pointing at you, let alone not wanting to watch, you can't even show distraction or dissatisfaction. You never know when the director will cut to the picture of the audience seats.
The global live broadcast also randomly cuts to the audience seats, which is exciting to think about.
The Spring Festival Gala is a party where the real audience is more nervous than the performers on stage.
The actors only performed for about ten minutes at most before leaving.
But the audience had to sit there for five hours without eating, drinking or going to the toilet, and they were not even allowed to talk to each other. No one without some level of ability could hold on.
Su Ying and Chen Ming originally felt sorry for the two people's choice. After all, this kind of opportunity cannot be bought with money.
However, when they saw the Spring Festival Gala being broadcast on TV, they suddenly felt that it was a wise choice for the two of them not to go to the scene to watch the performance.
The party was really too torturous.
After returning home from New Year's Eve dinner at his grandfather's house, Chen Jinnian, feeling bored, suggested, "Why don't we drive out of town to set off fireworks? Many of my classmates are already going."
Wang Yidi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she also wanted to go and see.
"No, you just came back and you know how cold it is outside. It's five or six degrees below zero and the wind is blowing. What if you catch a cold and have a fever?" Su Ying disagreed with her son's suggestion.
It would be fine if I could just put it downstairs, but driving an hour outside to do so is too much trouble.
Wang Yidi wanted to go, but she was more afraid of the cold. After comprehensive consideration, she would rather stay in the warm indoors.
"How about we play mahjong? There's a new set in my company's warehouse. Someone gave it to me and it's been sitting on the shelf." Chen Ming said, standing at the door.
In the past, there were few people at home and we couldn’t play mahjong, but today there are many people, so it’s just right to play mahjong.
"Okay, Dad, just give me the key and I'll get it for you."
Chen Ming looked at his son warily. Chen Jinnian had often been dealing with computer accessories in his warehouse. In order to prevent his son from stealing anything when he took out the mahjong, he decided to go over and take a look himself.
