At first, no one answered the phone.
It was only after Xiao called five or six times in a row that the call was finally picked up.
Xiao said excitedly: "Li Li, I watched your piano competition. Congratulations, you won the championship."
"Thank you." Li Li, who was far away abroad, sounded tired.
Xiao felt a little distressed when he heard this, "You must have had a hard time abroad in the past six months."
Li Li: "With today's achievements, all the hard work is worth it."
"When will you come back? I'll give you a welcome party." Xiao asked excitedly.
Li Li: "Maybe it's almost New Year's Eve."
Xiao: "Then I'll pick you up when you come back."
Li Li said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
The piano competition that Li Li participated in this time was so popular that all domestic netizens knew about it.
They were very envious that Li Li could win the New Year's Piano Music Championship, and they were even more envious that she was Master Yan's apprentice.
This time, Li Li really made Yan Rui proud.
But why does the name Li Li sound so familiar?
Netizen 1: Is this Li Li the same Li Li who sang the theme song of "The Last Empress" half a year ago?
Netizen 2: This is the name, I wonder if it is the same person?
Netizen 3: Actually, Li Li sings very well.
Netizen 4: If she is a person, then Li Li is so talented. Not only does she sing well, she also plays the piano well. She is also Master Yan's apprentice.
Netizen 5: Isn't it? Master Yan has finally made his mark this time.
…
These comments from netizens happened to be seen by Song Yixuan who was bored.
She was so angry that her nose was crooked.
Li Li!
This lousy assistant actually became Master Yan's apprentice?
And you went abroad and won a championship?
Isn't this a slap in her face?!
She, a small assistant, is about to become famous, but what about her star career?
Not only did it not improve, it actually declined.
It’s fine that Xia Xingchen relied on the prince to get to the top, but who is Li Li? Why can she also step on her to get to the top?
"Li Li." Song Yixiuan bit the name hard with her back teeth, wishing she could bite it to pieces.

Xia Xingchen had no time to go online, and she had no idea that Li Li had achieved such great success.
It was Li Li who called Xia Xingchen before returning home.
"Really?" Xia Xingchen was happy for Li Li when she heard her win a big prize abroad. "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Xingchen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Li Li said gratefully.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your achievements today are also due to your own hard work." Xia Xingchen comforted him.
Li Li: "I was able to return to China before the New Year and brought you a lot of gifts. I believe you will like them."
So, a few days later, Xiao Qiao, who knew that Li Li was going back to China today, dressed up and went to the airport to pick her up early.
As New Year was approaching, the airport was crowded. Xiao had to push his way through the huge crowds before finally reaching the exit of the hall.
Every time someone came out, he looked carefully, for fear of missing Li Li.
There were so many people that he was dazzled.
About half an hour later, Xiao saw a familiar figure among the crowd of people returning home. He looked closely and saw that it was indeed the dusty Li Li returning home with a suitcase.
Xiao immediately turned into a little fan and kept waving at Li Li.
Li Li won the award abroad. She has many fans abroad, but very few in China.
So, Li Li saw Xiao waving his hands at the exit for a long time.
Although he was in disguise, Li Li still recognized him.
Coming out of the exit, Xiao tactfully snatched the suitcase from Li Li's hand and followed her out.
Those who don’t know would think Xiao is her assistant.
As the New Year approaches, it is also the busiest time for artists. The agents of the artists signed by Gong Xia have received so many notices for them that they are almost overwhelmed.
Only Xia Xingchen can take a leisurely annual leave.
Before the end of the year, Gong Bingye reminded Chen Bing that since the big boss had spoken, Chen Bing didn't dare to disobey, so... Xia Xingchen was allowed to rest three days before the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, Xiao organized a party specifically for Li Li, inviting everyone to come and play and celebrate for Li Li.
The location was at the Flame Bar, and Xiao had specially booked a luxurious VIP box.
Li Li called Xia Xingchen early and asked her and the prince to go there early.
Xiao also called Ji Zhong, Peng Zhuo and Yi Kai.
At dusk, the neon lights outside the bar begin to light up, and the sunset glow in the sky and the street lights interweave into a gentle picture.
Xiao and Li Li were the first to arrive, followed by Ji Zhong and Li Zishu, then Peng Zhuo and Yi Kai, and even Mu Jin came to join in the fun.
Xiao had already shared with them the joy of Li Li winning a big prize abroad, and they all congratulated Li Li.
Especially when Mu Jin congratulated Li Li, Li Li was shy and nervous.
While everyone was cheering, someone knocked on the door of the box. Li Li guessed that it was Xia Xingchen and Gong Bingye, so she trotted to open the door.
The moment the door opened, she saw Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen standing at the door.
Li Li happily held her hand, "Xingchen, you are finally here."
Xia Xingchen nodded, and Li Li took her hand and walked into the box.
After letting her sit down in the empty seat, Li Li turned and walked towards where she had placed her suitcase. After a while, she took out an exquisite box from the suitcase. It had a red bow on it, which was very beautiful.
She came to the crowd holding the box and shouted, "Happy New Year's Eve everyone!"
Li Li's words instantly quieted the originally lively box.
Li Li continued, "This year I was honored to study piano abroad with Master Yan, and even more honored to have won a prize in a competition abroad. All of these honors were bestowed upon me by Xingchen, so... I carefully selected a gift for Xingchen while I was abroad."
As she spoke, she handed the beautifully packaged box in her arms to Xia Xingchen, "Xingchen, this dress was specially customized for you abroad. It represents my heartfelt gift. I hope you will accept it."
Xia Xingchen looked at Li Li. She was a little touched by Li Li's kindness. "Silly girl, why are you so polite?"
Li Li didn't say anything, but stretched the gift box in her hand towards Xia Xingchen again.
With so many people watching, Xia Xingchen couldn't refuse her and had to accept it.
Everyone started applauding.
After the applause died down, Li Zishu started to make noises, "Li Li, there are so many of us, how can one gift from you be enough to share?"
Li Li smiled, "Don't worry, whoever sees it gets it."
So, Li Li turned back and wanted to bring her suitcase over. Before she went there, Xiao tactfully brought the suitcase in front of Li Li.
Seeing this, everyone started to eat melons~
I don't know who started it, but someone shouted, "Together, together..."
Li Li's face turned red from the shouting, but the corner of her eyes accidentally fell on Gong Bingye~
