It's 7:30 PM now.
The venue for the Chinese Spring Festival Gala was packed. In the first row, naturally, sat the most important figures in the country, both now and in the past. Near the edge of the first row, Chen Feng, Li Qingning, and Chen's mother were seated.
Today, Li Qingning wore a light pink chiffon dress, looking absolutely stunning. If she were to walk around the stage, she would probably outshine all the other celebrities.
There were six seats at the table; they sat in three, leaving three seats for Li Siye and his group. This was because Li Siye had already contacted the Spring Festival Gala production team.
Amidst enthusiastic applause, important figures from China appeared one after another. Li Siye, Bai Yizhong, and Qi Baishi arrived, their goals clear. They didn't even need staff guidance and rushed directly to Chen Feng's table.
"Kid, you've been getting a lot of flak online, and you still have the nerve to sit here."
Li Siye came up with a loud voice, but Bai Yizhong smiled kindly.
Chen Feng naturally knew what Li Siye was talking about; after all, he had been scrolling through his phone for a long time out of boredom. However, he didn't care about any of this. Compared to those who make a big fuss about donating a few hundred thousand, he and Li Qingning never even considered making their donation public; there was really no need for it.
However, the vandalism of his headquarters, the Fengyu Building in Chengdu-Chongqing City, gave him a headache. Helpless, he could only call Xue Haifeng, the director of the city's public security bureau. After all, because of the barbecue restaurant incident, which led to the crackdown on organized crime in Panda Province, he was somewhat familiar with the leadership of Chengdu-Chongqing City.
Upon hearing this, Xue Haifeng didn't think much of it. He knew that Chen Feng had a suspected terrorist background, and when he heard that someone dared to vandalize the Fengyu Building, he immediately became anxious, mobilizing people while reporting directly to the provincial party committee.
The provincial party committee of Panda Province also attached great importance to this, after all, Chen Feng is no ordinary person now. Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Chen Jianliang personally gave instructions and mobilized a large number of armed police forces.
While hundreds of people were jeering and smashing the doors of the Wind Whisper Building, thousands of military and police soldiers appeared behind them, scaring the group so much they wet themselves. They were just trying to make a scene because of their numbers; they had never seen anything like this before.
Armed police and public security officers surrounded several hundred people in several layers, and then everyone was arrested.
This incident even made the news, and many netizens joked that it's okay to curse Chen Feng, but never smash Feng Yu's door, or you'll get a lot of criticism.
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Qi, hello!"
Chen Feng and Li Qingning stood up. Chen Feng naturally used the former title, while Li Qingning called him "Grandpa" in a very affectionate manner.
Chen's mother stood up somewhat flustered. Although she was from the countryside, she had been a well-educated young lady and was literate. Moreover, Chen Feng had given her some warning. Although she was not afraid to speak when she met this once high-ranking and powerful figure, she was still very nervous.
Before she could even speak, the three elderly people had already warmly pushed aside Chen Feng, who was blocking their way, and shook hands with Chen's mother.
"You must be Chen Feng's mother? I've heard so much about you! I've wanted to meet you for a long time, to see what kind of mother could raise such an outstanding son as Chen Feng. May I ask how old you are?"
Qi Baishi held Chen's mother's hand and asked.
"My dear in-law, I am Qingning's grandfather. I've been saying I'd like to spend some time with you since you came to the capital these past few days, but I've been so busy that I haven't been able to. I'm so sorry. How are you?"
Bai Yizhong also held Chen's mother's hand and asked, "Are you settling into life in the capital? The soy milk in the old capital is delicious; you must try it."
Chen's mother was initially very nervous, but when she saw the three important figures talking like ordinary country folk, she instantly felt more at ease and less nervous.
"Hello everyone, I don't know how to address you, but my son has mentioned you to me. As a mother, I am very grateful for your care and guidance to him."
"Well, I was almost thirty-five when I gave birth to my son, and now I'm sixty. I'm getting used to it these past few days, but I can't sleep well without the sounds of chickens, ducks, and dogs from my hometown."
"Hahaha, I get it. We all came from tough times, and we still miss those days. Honey, sit down."
Li Siye said.
"Let's not talk about seniority. Although Chen Feng is with my granddaughter, you are a generation below me in terms of age, but since we are in-laws over sixty, we shouldn't be so formal."
"Old Li is right, little sister. We're all a bit older than you. Why don't you call us 'older brothers' and we'll take you on as our sister? What do you say?"
"Well said, well said. My name is Bai Yizhong. Hey girl, what's your name?"
The four old men were chatting enthusiastically, and Chen Feng watched with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his head and saw Li Qingning looking at him with tenderness.
Chen Feng's hand slowly reached under the table and grasped her hand; it was slightly cold to the touch, but very soft.
Time ticks by.
Soon, it will be eight o'clock, and the countdown to the 2024 Chinese New Year Gala is underway.
Viewers across the country can already see the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and the hosts came on stage at the last minute.
In front of a national audience, the male and female hosts solemnly and solemnly announced the Yungang incident, expressing condolences on behalf of the country for the sacrificed people and heroes, and thanking the people who came from all directions to help the country in times of trouble.
The Spring Festival Gala comment section was flooded with comments, especially those thanking people for their donations, which aroused dissatisfaction among many people. Chen Feng was the first to be criticized and was attacked mercilessly.
"Damn it, I didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala before because Chen Feng wasn't on it, now I won't watch it because he's on it. You Spring Festival Gala production team can make your own choices."
"What a great country with support from all sides! But some people rise up, get rich and famous, and then they get arrogant and don't want to give back a single penny to society. They're trash."
“I feel ashamed. I used to support Chen Feng a lot, but this time I am so disappointed. Chen Feng must be kicked out of the Spring Festival Gala. He is not worthy of stepping on that sacred stage.”
"In the face of national difficulties, our netizens are very rational. They did not defend Chen Feng just because he is a big figure or sings well. On the contrary, they criticized him without mercy. This is very good. It shows that our netizens have a very positive outlook."
"The person upstairs is right. Don't say that I liked Chen Feng before, but I really can't forgive him for doing something like this."
"A person's downfall is caused by a lack of attention to morality, such as infidelity, assault, domestic violence, prostitution, etc. These are difficult to resolve, but Chen Feng, you can solve things with a few million yuan, but you just won't."
"Exactly, even if you say you don't have money, I'll lend it to you. At least come out and explain and clarify. Your attitude shows you don't respect us at all."
"Chen Feng. Get out, get out of the Spring Festival Gala."
Too many comments, insults directed at the whole family, and things are getting worse and worse.
