Chapter 86:Curtain Call: Fame the Musical (3)

On the New Year's Eve of the Gregorian calendar, Xiang Cai and Tan Yiming were not able to eat hot pot and so they decided that on the New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar, they will eat hot pot to their hearts content.

In fact, both of them loved spicy food but spicy food affects their vocal cords. In order to protect their focal cords during work season, they could only eat a clear soup base hot pot. However, taking advantage of this holiday, the two did not have to be so cautious and could openly enjoy the spicy base hot pot.

In addition to the basic soup fillers, Tan Yiming bought a lot of soft-boiled meat, vegetables, fish balls, and prawns. There was enough food to feed a small family.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Tan Yiming began to work: washing and cutting all the vegetables, taking out a roll of lamb from the freezer to thaw in advance...

Xiang Cai said in surprise: "Although New Year's Eve dinners should be prepared in advance, but does it need to be done this early? " He looked at the dishes on the table and got a headache: "Moreover, you have prepared way too much. Do we have to spend the whole Spring Festival eating leftovers from tonight's dinner?

"No." Tan Yiming said confidently, "It will definitely all be eaten."

"...?"

Soon, the mystery was revealed - Tan Yiming had actually invited two guests to come over to their house to have a reunion dinner together!

The guests he invited were not outsiders, but Xiang Cai best friends during high school, Chen Ziran and Jin Qi Ji.

When his two friends walked into the living room with smiles on their faces and stopped in front of him, Xiang Cai was shocked by this sudden huge surprise. He couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

"You... how are you two..."

"Is it a surprise or not, is it a coincidence or not?" Chen Ziran put his hands in his pockets and scornfully said, "Your partner is really interesting. For this dinner, he contacted me a month in advance. I only managed to squeeze out an hour of spare time, so stop talking nonsense. Let's hurry up and eat, I'm in a rush to get to the venue after eating!"

Xiang Cai asked dumbfoundedly: "What venue?"

"What other venue is there?! The Spring Festival Gala venue!" Chen Ziran stomped. "Wow, you call yourself my brother, but do you even care about me at all? The phrase 'Chen Ziran Spring Festival Gala Show' has been on the hot search for two days. Haven't you seen it?"

In order to gild Chen Ziran, his brokerage company did a lot of networking and spent a lot of money. He and other companies' small fresh meat were put on a platter and sent to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the show.

For the Spring Festival Gala, all the actors were required to be there early for rehearsal. Chen Ziran insisted on facing the death glare of the agent and squeezed out an hour's lunch break to accompany Xiang Cai for the meal.

"Alright, alright. You well-known male artist, do you need me to hire a Yangko* team to beat gongs and drums and help you promote your Spring Festival Gala appearance?" Qi Ji deliberately opposed him.

Within three minutes of being together, those two quarreled.

Qi Ji held a fruit basket in her left hand and a bag of Korean specialties in her right hand. She said she had just gotten off her plane.

Compared to half a year ago, she had more of the feminine intellectuality that was unique to women. Her short hair just covered her ears, and she seemed to be filled with a sense of happiness.
