The two servants were of such high standard that only people from wealthy families could afford them.

After seeing them off, Chen Huimin kept wiping his sweat, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Is this appropriate?"

"It's suitable, why not?" Tang Xiaobao asked with a smile.

Chen Huimin said bitterly, "When will I be able to repay your debt?"

Tang Xiaobao whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I'll pay it back slowly in bed tonight."

In an instant, Chen Huimin's face turned red.

She glanced at Linlin beside her with a guilty look.

Linlin asked curiously, "Dad, what did you whisper to Mom?"

"Children can't listen to this." Tang Xiaobao blinked.

Chen Huimin glared at Tang Xiaobao fiercely and said to Linlin, "Come on, Linlin, let's go upstairs and play."

Tang Xiaobao laughed loudly behind him.

In his heart, Chen Huimin actually agreed with what Tang Xiaobao said.

That's what she planned too.

It seemed that apart from this body, she really didn't know how to repay the favor.

Tang Xiaobao went into the kitchen to cook and suddenly received a phone call.

After he finished cooking, Chen Huimin and her daughter came downstairs.

"You guys eat first, I won't eat at home."

Tang Xiaobao washed his hands, took off his apron, and prepared to go out.

Chen Huimin actually became somewhat dependent on him, feeling a little lost inside. He asked, "Where are you going? Didn't you say you were going to stay here tonight?"

"Of course I have to come back. I went out to meet a friend. It's just right. Maybe I will come back in a while and bring you some good news."

Tang Xiaobao said mysteriously.

For Chen Huimin, the best news is that Tang Xiaobao is coming back to sleep.

She was planning to repay Tang Xiaobao in bed that night...

A high-end restaurant in Yanjing City.

The chief director of the Spring Festival Gala was sitting in the box waiting anxiously.

As the oldest Spring Festival Gala director, he has directed more than ten Spring Festival Galas in his life. The galas he directed were loved by people all over the country, and the ratings set historical records that no one has broken to this day.

But the lowest record was still created by him.

This is of course due to certain historical factors, but ultimately, it is because today's audiences have become more and more discerning in their tastes.

It is understandable that it is difficult to satisfy everyone.

But the Spring Festival Gala is definitely the most important program for China.

On New Year’s Eve, after eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, hundreds of millions of viewers are still accustomed to sitting in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

It would be fine to watch and curse at the same time, but the key point is that some local TV stations are now very wealthy, and the scale of their Spring Festival Gala is beyond imagination, which has a huge impact on the ratings of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

That’s right, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a national business card and has a government background.

But so what?

If the people don't want to pay, they can simply choose not to watch it. They can just change the channel.

As society becomes more and more advanced, people have more choices. Decades ago, people could only watch CCTV, but now there are hundreds of channels. Who would still take the CCTV Spring Festival Gala seriously?

However, everyone is still used to watching CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

After all, when it comes to resources, no one is more powerful than CCTV.

They can invite whomever they want, and there is no need to pay any appearance fee. However, countless stars still work hard to get on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala just to gild themselves or gain popularity.

It can be said that anyone who wants to become famous on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage will probably become famous, unless you are a hopeless person.

For this year's Spring Festival Gala, the number one leader has said that it must be distinctive.

What I mean is, it’s the ratings.

As a result, the leaders of the station and the Ministry of Culture exerted pressure layer by layer.

In the end, the most important burden fell on Lang Kun.

He wasn't even planning on directing.

These days, whoever directs a film is doomed and will be criticized.

But this was a political task and he couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, Lang Kun still has some skills after all.

He found a group of veteran artists, invited some of the most popular singers and stars, and finally set his sights on Tang Xiaobao.

Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Tang Xiaobao to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

But Lang Kun and Yan Fenglan have been friends for many years. Finally, at Yan Fenglan's command, Tang Xiaobao had no choice but to agree.

This is good news for Lang Kun.

Tang Xiaobao is so popular now that no one in the entire entertainment industry can match him.

His participation will definitely add some topics and attract the attention of countless fans.

You know, Tang Xiaobao has over 100 million fans.

Moreover, his fans are extremely loyal.

With Tang Xiaobao joining, they naturally have to pay attention to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Besides, as long as Tang Xiaobao is used for the early publicity and he is asked to shoot a short video, there will probably be no problem, and it will surely arouse heated discussions among the whole nation.

It’s necessary, because he is Tang Xiaobao.

If it were someone else, Lang Kun wouldn't have to do it himself.

Although the pressure in his position is high, the power he has is also astonishingly great.

No matter how awesome you are, if you want to be on the Spring Festival Gala, you have no chance without his help.

Even though the Spring Festival Gala is now criticized by the audience, it is still the best platform for celebrities to increase their popularity. Since he was announced as the director, he has received calls from friends and relatives almost every day.

It's all about someone wanting to be on the Spring Festival Gala...

Facing Tang Xiaobao, he didn't dare to neglect him.

Don’t talk about how high Tang Xiaobao’s status is, just say that this is the person that the big boss specifically wants to invite.

If Tang Xiaobao is offended and he doesn't participate in the Spring Festival Gala, no one can say anything to him. Then, it will mean that he has not completed the task assigned by his superiors.

Nine times out of ten, the party is a failure.

Tang Xiaobao is the savior, the last straw.

Lang Kun dared not ignore it.

So, he asked Yan Fenglan to be the lobbyist and personally made an appointment to meet with Tang Xiaobao.

Look at the time, there are still two minutes until the agreed time.

But Tang Xiaobao still didn't arrive.

Lang Kun was a little anxious. He took out his cell phone and tried to call Tang Xiaobao several times, but he gave up in the end.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Tang Xiaobao appeared at the door of the box on time.

Knock knock knock!

Lang Kun ran to open the door happily.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, I'm Lang Kun."

He extended his hand enthusiastically.

Tang Xiaobao shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Coach Lang, there was a traffic jam on the road just now. I almost got late. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Lang Kun laughed heartily, guiding Tang Xiaobao to sit down, and said, "It's not too late, not at all. The time is just right. Even if I have to wait another two hours, as long as you can come, it will be worth it."

"Coach Lang said that, and I feel really bad. You're such a great director, and I have so much respect for you."

Tang Xiaobao laughed.

Lang Kun pressed the button.

A waiter came in.

"Serve the food, serve the wine."

Lang Kun smiled at Tang Xiaobao and said, "That's not an exaggeration at all. You are now my last straw."
