"Knock knock knock".
Yuan Yi knocked on the door of Li Gang's office.
"Come in."
Li Gang's voice rang out.
Yuan Yi simply turned the doorknob and went inside.
At this moment, Li Gang was sitting on the sofa in the reception area, talking with Political Commissar Cheng Wei.
Both of them looked over when they saw the door open.
When I saw Yuan Yi in his army uniform, with three shining stars on his shoulder.
Even though they had heard about it beforehand, the two of them couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
"Goodness gracious."
"Old Cheng, have you ever seen such a young colonel before?"
Li Gang raised an eyebrow at Cheng Wei, the political commissar beside him, and said.
Cheng Wei looked at Yuan Yi, shocked inside but remaining perfectly calm on the surface.
After listening to Li Gang's words, he shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but I guess my old man has!"
"Commander, Political Commissar."
Li Gang looked at the two men and saluted them, shouting.
"Alright, stop pretending!"
"Come and sit down!"
Li Gang rolled his eyes at Yuan Yi and then said.
The two of them knew Yuan Yi quite well, even though they seemed very serious just now.
After hearing Li Gang's words, Yuan Yi showed no politeness whatsoever.
He plopped down right between the two of them.
I made myself a cup of tea and took a sip.
He smacked his lips and let out a series of exclamations.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the commander's tea is still the best!"
"Such top-quality tea isn't available in the military!!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's words, Li Gang rolled his eyes and cursed, "Get out, get out, get out!"
"You little brat, you come here and start ruining my tea leaves!"
Didn't I give you two ounces last time?
"Who can drink that two ounces of liquor?"
Actually, Yuan Yi doesn't like tea, but he found Li Gang's pained expression amusing.
They were deliberately making fun of Li Gang.
"You little brat!!" Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Li Gang pointed at him twice in the air.
"Don't listen to him, I'll get you some later if you want a drink!"
"Anyway, I know where he hid his tea leaves!!"
Cheng Wei smiled and said to Yuan Yi.
"Look, look, Commander, look!"
"The political commissar is still the best to me!!!"
Li Gang was so angry with Yuan Yi that he was practically fuming.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Cheng Wei, on the other hand, burst into hearty laughter.
Even though the group hadn't seen each other for a while, it felt like they were back in the days when Yuan Yi used to hang out in the director's office all the time.
"Commander, what's the mission?"
"And they even summoned me back?"
"I only have a month's vacation!!!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi mention the mission, Li Gang and Cheng Wei also became serious.
"National Day is just around the corner."
"Although this year is not a major celebration, it is the 75th anniversary."
"We have a small celebration every five years and a large celebration every ten years."
Yuan Yi only realized what was happening when he heard this.
Whether in the present or in his past life, he had never made a point of remembering this matter.
So he wasn't entirely clear about these things either.
"Will there be a grand military parade this year?"
Yuan Yi asked with sparkling eyes.
"Sorry, no!"
"·······"
Yuan Yi rolled his eyes at Li Gang's expressionless face.
"Alright, so why did you call me over?"
"Although there is no grand military parade today, there is a National Day gala."
"The Central Propaganda Department issued a notice for the gala, and this year's gala will be as long as the Spring Festival Gala."
"The event lasted for four and a half hours, until midnight."
"In addition to various performing arts troupes and song and dance troupes, we will also invite folk artists from the entertainment industry to perform this time."
"It can be considered a grand event that brings joy to the people."
To be honest, this was the first time Yuan Yi had ever heard of someone from the entertainment industry being invited to perform on such an important occasion.
In the past, apart from the Spring Festival Gala, there were other holidays.
Other red-themed galas, including those held during the Mid-Autumn Festival and other holidays.
Most of these performances were monopolized by various performing arts troupes.
Celebrities in the entertainment industry perform on local TV stations, so there is no conflict.
I never expected that the higher-ups would invite people from the entertainment industry this time.
"Mainly because this is National Day, the higher-ups want to celebrate with the people."
Yuan Yi shrugged: "Alright, I'll sing a song!"
Since the system's tasks are there, everyone has to participate.
Yuan Yi said it directly.
Li Gang and Cheng Wei exchanged a glance.
"The director of this gala is Lin Weiqi!!!"
Yuan Yi laughed upon hearing Lin Weiqi's name.
This guy, whose lineage is unknown, is basically the one who takes charge of any important CCTV gala.
"He asked you to write three songs."
"One opening act, one transition act, and one grand finale performance!!"
"·······"
Yuan Yi looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
Even livestock aren't used like this!
"Go and find out which performing arts troupe or singer performs three times in one show?"
"Is there no one left in our song and dance troupe?"
It wasn't that Yuan Yi was making excuses, nor was he putting on airs.
The party was already four or five hours long, and he still had to get in early to do his makeup and other miscellaneous things.
That means I spend about ten hours a day there.
The middle section is too long!
