The longed-for village system

Chapter 191 The party begins

"Shall we have lunch here?"

Chen Yimou got out of the car and asked what was going on. He hadn't expected Li Yong and Zhu Xun to invite Chen Qing and his wife to dinner at the Beijing Hotel. This wasn't a dinner party for friends! This was the kind of treatment reserved for important people doing favors!

"Ah! Director Chen Yimou." Zhao Xiaogu was taken aback when she saw Chen Yimou get out of the car, and then immediately greeted him, "Hello, Director Chen, I am Zhao Xiaogu."

"Haha! I know, I know, I've seen the TV series you acted in too. You're a very good young actor! Let's work together sometime!" Chen Yimou responded to Zhao Xiaogu with a smile.

"Great! I also look forward to our collaboration."

After the two greeted each other, Li Yong noticed that they had attracted the attention of those around them and said to them, "Let's go in first! Teacher He and Teacher Huang are already waiting for us in the private room. Xiao Chen and sister-in-law, don't worry too much. With our means, we can easily treat you and your husband to a good meal. Besides, this meal is on the four of us, so it won't cost much."

Hearing Li Yong say this, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu nodded. If the four of them were to treat, it would be acceptable. Even if the meal cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, it would only be 20,000 yuan per person, which they could accept.

As the group entered the hotel, Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing, who was holding her hand, with an admiring gaze. This man was truly amazing; he had only been in Beijing for a day and had already made the acquaintance of a big director like Chen Yimou.

"You guys are finally here! Why were you so slow? We've been here for a while now." Huang Sanshi started grumbling as he saw Li Yong and the others open the door. When he saw Chen Yimou behind him, he smiled and went to greet him, "Director Chen, welcome!"

Teacher He greeted them with a smile, and then said, "Let's all sit down! I'll ask the waiter to bring out the dishes first. Director Chen, Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, you can order some more. We can eat and chat at the same time."

After the waiter served the food and left, Chen Yimou spoke up and asked Teacher He and Teacher Huang, "Teacher He, Teacher Huang, how do you know Xiao Chen? You two seem to get along very well!"

As a renowned director, he is usually on set filming, and he has been even busier recently. In addition to preparing for the Army Day gala, he also has to prepare for the upcoming National Day gala. Moreover, he doesn't watch TV much, let alone variety shows, so he had no idea how Chen Qing, Huang Sanshi, and Teacher He knew each other.

"We met Xiao Chen while filming a show. Huang Lei and I co-hosted a variety show, right? Xiao Chen was one of our regular hosts. We put in a lot of effort to invite him," He Jiong explained how they met.

"Director Chen, don't underestimate young Chen. His talent is unparalleled in my life. Even those so-called geniuses pale in comparison to him. He is one of the people I admire most in my life." Huang Sanshi gave Chen Qing high praise.

He wasn't exaggerating at all; Chen Qing's talent truly amazed him. Those so-called geniuses were far inferior to Chen Qing.

"Oh! It seems that Xiao Chen is truly exceptionally talented! I'm even more looking forward to working with him now."

Chen Yimou knew that Chen Qing was talented, but he internally labeled Huang Sanshi's words as exaggerated, thinking that Huang was just trying to bring the two of them together, which was just a common tactic among friends.

Because Chen Yimou had work to do in the afternoon, the group didn't chat much during the meal. Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu returned to the venue together. With Chen Yimou, the director, there, it was very easy for Zhao Xiaogu to get in even though she wasn't invited. That evening, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu enjoyed some alone time. Huang Sanshi and the others didn't disturb their private time. After having dinner at the hotel, the two disguised themselves and got into their car, heading towards their target.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, some paparazzi naturally staked out the hotel, and as soon as they saw the two of them come out of the hotel, they immediately followed them stealthily.

This time, the two noticed that paparazzi were following them. After all, it wasn't just one or two groups, but more than a dozen. Their furtive behavior made it hard for anyone not to notice them. However, since the group wasn't bothering them, the two ignored them.

Of course, the paparazzi were disappointed this time. The two didn't join in the fun tonight, nor did they do anything too intimate. They even returned to their hotel after only a short time.

The main reason is that Chen Qing has to attend the Army Day gala tomorrow night, and he also has to go to the venue for rehearsals during the day. So Zhao Xiaogu is thinking of going back to rest early. If she wants to have fun, she can wait until after the men's gala is over. Anyway, they still have several days to play!

Of course, this was just Zhao Xiaogu's simple idea. After returning to the hotel, the two exchanged blows several times, but finally had to call a truce because of time constraints.

The next morning, Chen Qing went to the venue after breakfast, while Zhao Xiaogu stayed in her hotel room to catch up on sleep. Her man was too abnormal. Didn't everyone online say that men could never beat women in this area? How come it was the other way around for her?
It's her own man who takes the longest and recovers the fastest, which makes her feel very unfulfilled every time she begs for mercy!

Chen Qing was also puzzled about this. He thought it might be due to the system's influence, but when he asked the dog system, it didn't say a word. In the end, he was too lazy to ask anymore. It's a good thing for a man to be strong in this area!

Every time he heard Zhao Xiaogu beg for mercy, the overwhelming desire to conquer him was even more satisfying than when he wrote a few classic songs and was praised by others. If he could, he would even suggest to the dog system that it be strengthened a bit more.

Today is the last day of rehearsals before the official performance tonight. When Chen Qing arrived at the party, he saw that everyone's state was obviously very different from yesterday, except for Chen Qing, who was still as lazy as yesterday.

After the army-building ceremony ended during the day, everyone gathered at the venue in the evening. Zhao Xiaogu, as a direct relative of the performing guest, also had a seat. Although the seat was only on the second floor, she was already very satisfied. It was the first time she had been able to watch her husband perform on such a grand stage.

After getting her ticket checked, Zhao Xiaogu took a photo at the entrance of the venue and uploaded it to her official Weibo account, writing, "Tonight, Brother Chen is performing at this venue. As his wife, I'm lucky enough to get a ticket. Looking forward to Brother Chen's wonderful performance, hehe!"

Fans flooded the comments section after seeing their idol's post, some expressing envy and jealousy, since this was a national-level gala, unlike ordinary concerts or galas.
"Can Goddess Xiao Gu do a live stream? We'd love to see her live! We also want to see Brother Chen perform."

"Isn't live TV broadcasting better? I just want my goddess to have Brother Chen record an album and hold a concert."

"I'd like to ask the same thing."

"+1."
