The longed-for village system

Chapter 413 New Year's Eve Party Invitation

In the afternoon, Liu Shishi had to leave for Shanghai due to work arrangements. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that she couldn't stay at the Mushroom House for long. It was already very rare that she was able to stay for so long this time.

After hugging Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing, Liu Shishi pulled her luggage and got into the car, looking back every few steps. As the car drove away, she was still looking in the rearview mirror. Anyone could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her like that.

"Alright, stop looking. You're just going out to work, it's not like you're never coming back. Is it really necessary to do this? Women really do change after they fall in love. If Brother Chen asked you to stay home and take care of the family, wouldn't you agree immediately?"

In the past, although our artists were relatively laid-back and didn't compete for anything, they were still quite serious about their work. Now, they seem to have no heart for work at all, their whole focus is on Brother Chen. It seems we need to consider finding a junior to mentor them; this big account has been ruined.

Of course, she would never give up this big account. As long as she had this big account, her relationship with Chen Qing would still exist, and with this relationship, her status in the entertainment industry would be pivotal and even more powerful.

Therefore, even if Liu Shishi stops working in the future, she will not voluntarily submit her resignation.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chen and I are innocent," Liu Shishi explained guiltily.

Of course, not only did her agent not believe her explanation, but the driver in front of her didn't believe it either. Now everyone knows that she and Ya Ya are also Little Chen's women, and they're just waiting to register at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Liu Shishi knew that no one would believe her now, so she didn't explain further when she heard her agent chuckle. She didn't really want to explain her relationship with Chen Qing in the first place, and it would be best if it turned out to be real in the end.

As Liu Shishi left, Ya Ya also left the Mushroom House the next morning. Before leaving, Ya Ya hugged Chen Qing and whispered in his ear, "Little Chen, remember to miss me."

Chen Qing was somewhat surprised, as this was different from the personality of Ya Ya that he knew. However, he didn't think too much about it and didn't feel that Ya Ya was hinting at anything to him. He nodded, put her in the car, and watched her leave.

As Zhao Xiaogu watched Ya Ya leave, a hint of understanding appeared in her eyes. Her sixth sense told her that Ya Ya had deep feelings for Brother Chen, seemingly no less than her own, and she always felt that Ya Ya's loss of virginity was related to Brother Chen.

Knowing Ya Ya's personality, if her body were taken by another man, she would not be able to show such strong love as she does now. She would bury this love and stay away from Brother Chen, because she would feel that she is not good enough for Brother Chen.

"Brother Chen, you should see Ya Ya off. After all, she was the one who took care of you when you were drunk and causing trouble last time. Otherwise, you would definitely have been trending on social media." Zhao Xiaogu began to probe Chen Qing.

If the two had a chance to have a relationship, that time when they were drunk was the only possibility. Unfortunately, she didn't notice anything unusual in Chen Qing's expression, but she already had the answer in her heart.

"That time I was so drunk I was completely unconscious. Ya Ya helped me back to the hotel afterwards. I don't think there was any trouble. Otherwise, there would definitely be news about me. I do have some memory of being drunk, but that time I drank red wine and white wine and my brain just shut down."

Alright, it's basically confirmed. He had sex while drunk. Although Xiao Chen had no recollection of what happened between him and Ya Ya that night, she could roughly guess what they did. She felt a little annoyed and helpless, knowing that she couldn't have Xiao Chen's love all to herself.

This completely explains why Ya Ya lost her virginity so quickly and repeatedly told them that she didn't have a boyfriend.

"Brother Chen, I'm a little tired, I'll go inside and rest first, you go to the hospital and get busy!"

Seeing Zhao Xiaogu enter the room looking somewhat dejected, Chen Qing assumed it was because her two sisters had left. After giving Chen Jie a few words of advice, she drove to the hospital. Inside, Zhao Xiaogu thought it over and over again but ultimately decided not to send the message. She deleted the text she had typed, threw her phone aside, and buried her head in her hands in self-deception.

Upon arriving at the hospital, both medical staff and family members congratulated Chen Qing. Naturally, they all knew that Chen Qing had been awarded a first-class merit by the state. Chen Qing smiled and returned the greetings to express his gratitude.

After changing her clothes and entering the consultation room, Chen Qing's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was an unknown number calling. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Qing answered it anyway.

"Hi Xiao Chen, it's me! I was wondering if you have time during the New Year? I'd like to invite you to our New Year's Eve program."

"Oh! Director Chen! Hello, what brings you to the New Year's Eve gala again?"

The call was from director Chen Yimou. Chen Qing wasn't surprised by the invitation, given his current popularity and the fact that he had been praised by the government several times. It was only natural that he would be invited to participate in such an event.

However, Chen Qing did not plan to leave the village this time. Although he still had a number of times he could leave the village, he would not use up those rare opportunities for such a chance.

"There's nothing I can do but cooperate and complete the tasks assigned by my superiors. How about it? Can you spare some time to come and participate once? I think everyone will be looking forward to your appearance on stage."

Chen Yimou wouldn't have made this call to anyone else. Every artist wants to be on CCTV's stage, but not everyone can. He only made the call to invite Chen Qing because he knows Chen Qing's personality.

"Director Chen, thank you for the invitation, but I can't leave this time. A new batch of patients will be arriving at the hospital in the next couple of days, and you know their condition."

Chen Yimou had no answer to Chen Qing's reason. Compared to the program, human life was definitely more important, and the patients who could be treated by Chen Qing were all terminally ill, and their time was running out.

Chen Yimou was somewhat unwilling. After all, with Chen Qing's popularity and ability, the whole stage would be more perfect if he joined, and the ratings would be greatly guaranteed. After all, the New Year's Eve galas of various TV stations are no less exciting than CCTV's, and even the New Year's Eve galas of Zhejiang TV and Hunan TV have higher investment than CCTV's.

It's safe to say that whoever invites Chen Qing will likely have the highest New Year's Eve viewership ratings this year. His only consolation is that Chen Qing hasn't been invited by any other TV station.

"Alright! Saving lives is the most important thing. Could you perhaps arrange a time for the Spring Festival Gala?"

Chen Yimou started inviting Chen Qing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in advance. Although he was not sure if he would still be the director of the Spring Festival Gala this year, no matter which director it was, Chen Qing would definitely be welcomed with open arms. He wanted to make arrangements in advance to prevent other local TV stations from getting there first.

"I can't answer that right now. It depends on the situation at the time. If I have time then, I can come over."

Chen Qing did not agree, as there were still more than two months until the Spring Festival! It was too early to respond now.
