China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 1008 Forever Eighteen
"This girl is interesting. Offstage she's like a little rabbit, but onstage she transforms into a phoenix in an instant. The contrast between her naivety and her explosive power on stage is very moving."

After Dilraba left, Zhou Xun was the first to laugh out loud.

"Honey, you have good taste."

“Right?” Yang Mi raised her eyebrows smugly. This was a promising talent she had been eyeing for a long time. Now that she had opened a studio, she wanted to maximize profits. No matter how capable she was, she could only take on so many jobs herself; she still needed to expand her staff.

"So, Director Sun, did I recommend the wrong person to you?"

Yang Mi looked at Sun Yi with a smug expression, as if to say, "With this level of skill, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a spot on the Spring Festival Gala, would it?"

"Hmm, not bad." Sun Yi responded with a nod. "Very promising."

After speaking, she made a note in her notebook: solo dance, exotic, ethnic. Dilraba.

"Alright, that's only one program. It's not enough. We need to prepare at least two more."

"Gao Ye, didn't you just say you could participate?" Zhou Xun asked back.

"Even with this, it's not enough. In addition to programs from local TV stations in various provinces, I need to prepare at least 5-8 more, and adjust them in real time depending on the final selection."

Sun Yi explained that the specific number of programs is not fixed. In addition to the core programs he has decided on, the others will be selected based on the results of the preliminary and secondary reviews. There can be no ambiguity; there must be some leeway.

The same applies to each television station; they will each prepare 1-3 programs for selection, and they also need to have a surplus.

Yang Mi thought for a moment and said helplessly, "If you think it's okay, then I can go up and sing a song."

"Okay, you can be my backup."

Sun Yi nodded, made another note in his notebook, and added an extra parenthesis at the end, writing: "Avoid solo performances, focus on choral performances or medleys of stars."

I wonder what Yang Mi would think if she saw this.

"No, boss, it's great that you're on the Spring Festival Gala, but you can't just let us ladies take all the credit. What about the other side? They have to do it too, right?"

Zhou Xun began to shift her focus, targeting a group of "gay men" who were watching the show.

"Hey, Sister Xun, what's wrong? We didn't do anything to you, did we?"

"Yeah, what can we do? A bunch of old men dancing, who's going to watch that?"

Luo Jin and the others complained bitterly.

They are not opposed to appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, but dancing would be a bit too much.

Who cares if it's just singing a song or something? It's passable and not too embarrassing.

"Alright, I've finished preparing everything for them. There's a small stage play, so none of them will be able to escape."

Sun Yi glanced at the "male compatriots" on his left and offered an explanation.

He didn't even bother to solicit opinions on their program today; he simply assigned roles and responsibilities and got right to it.

"Hey, director, stage plays are great! Stage plays are great! I can act in anything!"

"Yes, yes, I'll act in anything."

When the group heard that they wouldn't have to dance or sing, but would just be performing in a stage play, they were overjoyed.

He was showing off wildly towards the ladies, which made Zhou Xun look annoyed.
Finally, Sun Yi finalized two alternative programs, then checked everyone's schedules before the Spring Festival, asking them to reserve time for rehearsals. The meeting was finally over.

As everyone left, only he and Miss Liu remained.

Sun Yi slowly tidied up the documents, then suddenly said, "You stepped on it pretty hard just now."

Liu Yifei was putting on her coat when she heard this and paused. "What did you say? I didn't hear you."

“I’m saying,” Sun Yi turned around and looked at her, “why did someone’s high heels step on my foot just now?”

Liu Yifei pulled her long hair out from under her coat, turned to look at Sun Yi, a smile playing on her lips, and looked completely innocent. "Really? Maybe I bumped into him by accident."

"Accidentally?" Sun Yi approached and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Comrade Liu Qianqian, you look quite cute when you're jealous."

"Who's jealous?" Liu Yifei quickly slapped his hand away, her ears turning red. "I was just reminding you to maintain a professional image and not scare the young girl."

"Where am I being unprofessional?" Sun Yi said seriously. "I was purely judging the actors from a director's perspective, okay? But..." He paused, a smile suddenly appearing in his eyes, "The young lady is indeed quite pretty, isn't she?"

"Sun Yi!" Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately bristled and glared at him fiercely.

"But not as good-looking as you."

Sun Yi responded quickly, instantly changing his tune, and then pulled her into his arms, saying, "You look 27, prettier than any 20-year-old girl. My Qianqian, forever 18~"

"Hmph! Smooth talker."

Liu Yifei gave a soft hum.

"Daughter-in-law~"

"Ok?"

"You don't need to be jealous of anyone, because there's no room for anyone else in my eyes anymore."

Sun Yi suddenly became very affectionate, leaving Liu Yifei stunned.

She wrinkled her nose, expressing a slight dissatisfaction, and then tightly wrapped her arms around Sun Yi's.

After a long while, she whispered, "Then why were you staring at it for so long?"

"Because I need to confirm whether she is really suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage. She is a newcomer. If she is not qualified in any aspect and the program is ruined, then your husband will have to take the blame."

Sun Yi released her, looked intently into her eyes, and said, "So, this is my job. But in my life..."

As he spoke, he took her hand and pressed it against his heart, saying, "You're the only one."

!!!

Again.

Now, Liu Yifei couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She glared at Sun Yi with annoyance.

Turn around.

Take another look.

He turned his head again.

Finally, her eyes slowly curved into crescent moons, and she tiptoed to gently touch Sun Yi's lips.

"Alright, I forgive you." After saying that, she picked up her handbag, took Sun Yi's arm with one hand, and said, "Let's go home. Mom is coming to cook dinner tonight, there will be something delicious."

"Mom's here?"

Sun Yi was somewhat surprised, not knowing that Liu Xiaoli would come.

"You didn't forget about the completion ceremony of the primary school donated by the charity foundation that we mentioned before, did you? It's almost the end of the month."

Liu Yifei offered an explanation.

Ah!
Sun Yi slapped his forehead. "Right, right, I remember now, there was such a thing."

During this period, he was thinking about the Spring Festival Gala program every day and completely forgot about this matter. If Liu Yifei hadn't brought it up today, he might have missed it.

What will Liu's mother think of him then?

You've already tricked your daughter into giving you away, so you're not going to care anymore, are you?

Sun Yi quickly called the company's administrative team, instructing them to arrange vehicles and personnel, as well as to purchase a batch of various gifts and school supplies that the children could use.

Listening to Sun Yi's meticulous arrangements, Liu Yifei smiled with satisfaction.

"Hurry up, let's go home. Mom made mutton soup today, saying it's good for replenishing energy in autumn!"

"Then drink more, you've lost weight recently."

"I haven't lost weight at all. It's you who's been staying up late lately because of the Spring Festival Gala. No more tonight, go to bed early!"

"As you command, my dear wife!"
