With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

This day marked the eve of the Lunar New Year.

Amidst the anticipation of people across the country, the Spring Festival Gala finally premiered in grand style.

Throughout the country, all television stations simultaneously broadcast CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

That night, all the channels across China were dedicated to CCTV's Spring Festival Gala!

All the employees of Fanfu Culture were given a holiday and are currently spending time with their families watching the Spring Festival Gala.

They had little expectation for the Spring Festival Gala, but were full of anticipation for two certain individuals.

"I see him! I see him! I see the boss!"

"Senior Sister Xiaoyu is here too, she looks so beautiful!"

"Wow, this is the VIP section right in front of the stage! That's so impressive!"

"They're on camera again! They're showing the boss and his crew on camera again!"

"They've already shown three shots in such a short time, this is definitely intentional!"

"Amazing! Boss and Senior Sister Xiaoyu are amazing!"

They were overjoyed, and the whole nation joined in the excitement:

"Am I seeing things? Isn't that Lin Qianyu?"

"Quickly find the program and check it again! Lin Qianyu is here, how could she not have a performance?"

"Was the program schedule missing?"

"There must have been a mistake. Everyone was there, so how could there be no performance?"

"Lin Qianyu is on the show? Tonight is definitely something to look forward to!"

"Given Boss Fan's personality, how could he allow his singers to sing old songs? There will definitely be a new song released tonight!"

"Great! I want to record it right away!"

In an instant, countless people became excited.

At this moment, Zhuo Tao was lying on a hospital bed in the special care ward.

As soon as the Spring Festival Gala started, after only two programs, the camera focused on Wang Ke and Lin Qianyu three times, which made him furious.

"He's just a bystander, why give him so much screen time? This is blatant abuse of power for personal gain!"

But what angered him even more was yet to come—during most of the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Ke and Lin Qianyu appeared on screen more than a dozen times!

Moreover, on several occasions, the camera showed the host with his back to the audience, and the footage lasted for more than twenty seconds!

That's right, Lin Qianyu's performance didn't make it onto the Spring Festival Gala.

However, her screen time throughout the entire Spring Festival Gala was longer than that of many others who performed in other programs!

Zhuo Tao was so angry that his vision went black and he fainted on the spot.

Before we knew it, the Spring Festival Gala had reached its second half.

Yang Haijing, president of the Linhai Music Association, took the stage and sang "My Motherland," a song written for her by Wang Ke, bringing the atmosphere of the evening to a climax.

After the New Year's Eve countdown, a medley of songs, a medley of operas, a martial arts performance, an acrobatic performance, and a lively dance, the gala came to its final segment—Ms. Guo Yafen, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Musicians Association, took the stage to sing the closing song of the evening, "Unforgettable Tonight," written for her by Wang Ke.

The entire gala came to a close with songs, announcing the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

The audience stared wide-eyed at the subtitles, and none of them were having any fun:

"No...where is Lin Qianyu?"

"I waited all night, and it turns out there's no program featuring Lin Qianyu?"

"Are you kidding me? People are already here, and you're not going to arrange any entertainment for them?"

"What kind of lousy gala was this? They built up expectations to the sky, only to deliver nothing in the end?"

"Isn't this just playing a trick on people?"

Immediately, dissatisfied viewers flocked online, posting various questions and even asking questions and complaining on the official Weibo accounts of CCTV and the Spring Festival Gala.

The network technicians in the technical department were completely overwhelmed and asked their superiors with worried expressions how to respond.

The person above rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

This is a contest between station directors; how could I, a mere minister, possibly explain it clearly?

Just pretend you didn't see it!

After the Spring Festival Gala ended, Wang Ke led Lin Qianyu outside.

Lin Qianyu reached out and hooked her arm around Wang Ke's, her face beaming with happiness.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Wang Ke looked at her arm that was wrapped around his.

"What's wrong with it?" Lin Qianyu asked back.

"It will only cause misunderstandings," Wang Ke said.

"Let whoever wants to misunderstand, let them misunderstand," Lin Qianyu said nonchalantly, thinking to herself: It's even better if they misunderstand!

Just then, Ji Ming walked over and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, the station has prepared a New Year's Eve dinner. Fangtai would like to invite you two to join the entire crew for a lively celebration."

“We didn’t perform anything, so let’s skip it,” Lin Qianyu said.

Wang Ke smiled and said, "Let's not let Fang Tai's good intentions go to waste."

Lin Qianyu pouted very high.

She had planned to take Wang Ke around Beijing and spend a romantic New Year's Eve together, but unexpectedly, the people from CCTV intercepted her plans halfway through.

However, she is a sensible person and knows that Wang Ke did this in order to maintain a good relationship with the production team so that she will have more opportunities next year.

Ji Ming led the two to the CCTV restaurant and into a small hall.

The entire production team had already gathered. Upon seeing the two arrive, the director immediately came forward and warmly shook hands with Wang Ke: "It's a real loss for CCTV and the people of the whole country that Ms. Du couldn't showcase her singing talent at this year's gala! But don't worry, Director Fan, we'll have plenty of opportunities next year!"

"Thank you for your kind words," Wang Ke said with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Ji Ming took charge of introducing everyone to each other.

Wang Ke had been with CTV for quite some time. Although he wasn't in the same program group as the Spring Festival Gala cast, he had met many of them before and already knew them. So when they got together, they didn't feel any awkwardness and quickly became friends, chatting and laughing.

Shortly afterward, the leadership team from CCTV arrived, and the banquet officially began.

The leaders did not stay long. The station director affirmed the Spring Festival Gala, and several deputy directors gave speeches praising the production team, offering their blessings and toasts before leaving together.

As Fang Xinhai was leaving, he looked at Wang Ke, who nodded slightly to him, both of them smiling.

Jiang Mingde gave Wang Ke a cold glance and snorted.

Wang Ke keenly caught his gaze and chuckled inwardly: What can you do if you're dissatisfied with me?

With Fang Xinhai on my side and a high-ranking leader on the outside, and with a cultural accumulation far exceeding that of all the cultural figures on your planet, why should I fear a clown like you interfering?

You can be smug this year, but wait until next year, I'll dominate the Spring Festival Gala!

No, not just the Spring Festival Gala, but all of your important galas on CCTV next year must have singers from our Flip Culture!

After a night of fun, the two returned to the hotel.

There were also many fans of Lin Qianyu in the program crew. They were all very happy to have the opportunity to have dinner with Lin Qianyu. They showered her with compliments during the meal, and Lin Qianyu was naturally very happy as well. She toasted with everyone quite a bit during the meal.

So even if she wanted to do something with Wang Ke again, she was too tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

Looking at her like that, Wang Ke felt a surge of pity. He gently patted her head, covered her with the blanket, and then sat down beside her, turned on the computer, and started playing games.

It wasn't that he wasn't sleepy, but he felt that Lin Qianyu had drunk too much and was afraid that if she fell asleep and her airway was blocked by vomit, that would be no joke.

So he stayed by Lin Qianyu's side all night.
