"I am really impressed. My good reputation has been ruined by these damn media."

Boss Wei was cursing and was very dissatisfied.

Especially when I saw a group of netizens going to the comment section of his Weibo to interview Mr. Cang about his kung fu and scolding him for touching the fans of so-and-so from Girls' Generation, I felt so angry.

No matter how lustful he is, he can't chat with others in public.

What's more, Xiao Zhao would watch him very strictly during the annual meeting, almost keeping an eye on him 24 hours a day, and he also had the assistance of two beauties from Xinjiang Province. Even if he had the intention, he didn't have the time.

What made Wei Yang even angrier was that he distributed so many benefits at the annual meeting and invited so many celebrities, but his own gossip overshadowed the limelight.

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

Wei Yang turned off the computer, fearing that he would get angry again. When he left the study, he saw his aunt and mother cutting meat and preparing to make fried meatballs.

The custom in my hometown, at least in Wei Yang village, is that on the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, people start preparing for the New Year.

Regardless of other things, fried food is a must, mainly radish balls and meatballs (crispy pork).

Wei Yang loves to eat crispy pork. In that era, supplies were scarce, business was rare, and his family had no money, so if he wanted to eat it, he could only do so during the Chinese New Year or at banquets. So when he was a child, he always looked forward to this day so that he could eat meatballs to his heart's content.

As I grow older, I am not as greedy anymore. I can eat these fried foods as much as I want, but I am not so excited about them anymore.

But the older generation still adhered to the customs of the New Year. When they saw Wei Yang coming out, they used the same tricks they used when they were children to coax him.

"Yangyang will be waiting to eat meatballs. I have already bought the garlic sprouts."

Garlic sprouts + crispy pork, lightly stir-fried or lightly stewed, was Wei Yang’s favorite way of eating it in the past. Wang Yunping and Wei Xia were both familiar with it.

Wei Yang naturally wouldn't say anything to spoil the mood. Besides, he was really tempted by his aunt and mother and was a little greedy. It wasn't because of how delicious the meatballs were, but because of the memories and feelings of his childhood.

Rolling up his sleeves, Wei Yang helped to beat eggs into the batter, then wrapped the meat strips in the batter and fried them in the pan.

When I was a child, to fry meatballs, we would build a temporary earthen stove in the yard, borrow a big pot, and pool oil from several families. We would take turns frying meatballs, and the remaining oil would be divided equally for cooking.

Later, when Wei Xia opened a restaurant, she no longer had to go through so much trouble. She could just fry the dumplings in the store and even add eggs to the batter.

When I was a child, adding some salt and pepper to the batter was enough. If you added eggs, you would either be a millionaire or a spendthrift.

"Don't hit too much, it's a steal."

Wei Xia has run a restaurant for many years. Although she is not a great chef, she knows a lot about kitchen matters, especially the taste preferences of her family. She is the chief director of the New Year's Eve dinner every year.

Wei Yang looked at the half-full basin of meat and saw Wang Yunping was still trying to cut it, so he hurriedly stopped her.

"It's enough to eat. If you make more, it will be a waste."

When he was a child, Wei Yang wanted to kill two pigs and eat meatballs every day, but now he often has to stop his parents who have become wealthy.

You prepare too much New Year’s goods and you really can’t finish them. The older generation is reluctant to throw them away and is afraid that they will go bad, so they force you to eat them every day. No matter how delicious the food is, it can’t withstand this situation.

Wei Yang is not very interested in meatballs now, partly because he has been fed enough by his mother and aunt in the past two years.

"Don't worry. If our two families can't finish the food, we can give it to Xiao Wei, Xiao Huo, and Mrs. Zhang. Besides, your friends will be coming too. Give it to them and let them have a taste."

Wei Xia and Wang Yunping obviously had a plan in mind, and Wei Yang thought it made sense. If they couldn't finish it, they could just give it away.

"I'll try."

Wei Yang was not satisfied with just helping out, so after making the batter, he wanted to fry the dumplings himself, but was chased away by his aunt.

"Go away, kids are clumsy, don't get burned."

Wei Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was almost 30 years old now, with a net worth of billions and thousands of employees. He also cooked on a daily basis and could cook ten dishes and a soup.

But in the eyes of my mother and aunt, he is still the same little brat who could spill soup when carrying a plate and had to redo the dishes.

Wei Yang was driven away out of dislike. His father was not at home because he was looking after the store. His cousins ​​were on winter vacation, one was playing computer in the guest room while the other was shopping with classmates.

Xiao Zhao, Liu Shishi and even Li Jiahang are either filming or back in their hometowns for the New Year and are not in Shanghai.

Wei Yang, who had no activities or gatherings today and tomorrow, didn't want to work as the year was coming to an end. He was really bored at home, so he said goodbye to his mother and drove away in the family Mercedes.

After about half an hour, Wei Yang drove to an apartment building in Pudong New Area, disguised himself, went upstairs and opened the door.

Tang Yan, who had made a phone call before, heard the noise, ran over barefoot, leaned against the entrance and looked at Wei Yang who was looking for shoes in the shoe cabinet, her voice soft and sad.

"Oh, now that the two ladies in this family are gone, Boss Wei finally remembered me, the little promise."

Tang Yan was very resentful. Since the filming of "Joy of Life" was completed, although Wei Yang called her, he never contacted her privately.

Now that Zhao and Liu are not in the Magic City, Wei Yang comes here to hunt for food. Although Tang Yan knows her position, it would be strange for her to feel comfortable facing such discriminatory treatment.

"What are you talking about? I'm busy."

Wei Yang felt a little embarrassed, but it wasn't entirely his fault. Firstly, he was indeed very busy, and secondly, Liu and Zhao were watching him too closely.

Especially Liu Shishi. Ever since Tang Yan moved to Shanghai, the two have become close. She has even been to Tang Yan's home more than once. Under such circumstances, Boss Wei naturally did not dare to commit a crime against her will.

As I said, Liu Shishi can tolerate Xiao Zhao, but she definitely can't tolerate Tang Yan. If it is exposed, someone might die.

From a rational point of view, Wei Yang wanted to break up with Tang Yan more than once.

But on the one hand, Tang Yan was really well-behaved, obedient and sensible, and she let him control her, so he was a little reluctant.

Secondly, he was afraid that he would not be able to comfort her well and would irritate Tang Yan, which would backfire. This girl had cut her wrists in her previous life. Even if it was suspected to be hype, Wei Yang didn't dare to gamble.

Thirdly, although it is immoral and disgusting, sisters and besties are indeed very exciting...

Wei Yang despised himself in his heart and came in shamelessly. Tang Yan complained but had no intention of blocking his way. While Wei Yang was making coffee for himself, she went to the bedroom to finish her makeup that she had not finished.

When she came out again, Wei Yang was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and flipping through the book she had placed on the coffee table.

"Go make an appointment with Gu Man later and have a chat with her to win her support. With the author's participation, the fans will have a better impression of you."

"Silent Separation" is not "My Sunshine". The latter is a niche online novel with very few die-hard fans. The former is Gu Man's representative work, which has a wide influence in the female frequency and the physical book sells very well.

For this kind of popular online novel, every reader has his or her own choice for the female lead, so it is difficult for Tang Yan to be recognized by everyone.

But if you can get the author's personal support, then you can win the approval of some neutral book fans.

"I know. I followed her on Weibo and added her on WeChat. We've chatted a few times."

After the Spring Festival, Coral Entertainment was officially established, and Tang Yan will become a contracted artist of Coral Entertainment.

As one of the most popular young actresses today, Tang Yan has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of first-tier and top-tier stars, and will also be the artist face of Coral Entertainment in the future.

"The Love of Silence", produced by Blue Whale and adapted from the representative work of female star Gu Man, was the signing gift given to her by Coral Entertainment.

Tang Yan attaches great importance to this drama. Da Mimi and Liu Shishi each have phenomenal hits that have broken the circle, and Xiao Zhao has also proved his ability to carry the ratings with his three consecutive sweet girl hits.

Only she, although "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" and "Love Wakes Up" are popular, they are not considered to be blockbuster hits. "Joy of Life" is dominating the small screen, but she is only the leading actress, and it is not convincing enough to carry the ratings alone.

This is also the case when Tang Yan is good in every aspect, but she has only one foot into the top and first-line stars, which is really a long way to go.

To put it bluntly, it's not popular enough, and its popularity lacks distinctive features.

Artists as popular as Da Mimi and Liu Shishi are basically the most popular artists in the market. They have a huge influence in the small screen and can directly raise their prices based on their personal influence.

Artists of this level have already established a strong personal brand and are indispensable; they cannot be easily outdated or replaced in the short term.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

Xiao Zhao is not as popular as Liu and Yang, but her sweet style is unique and her results are impressive. She also has her own personal brand and is indispensable in the short term.

This has also invisibly raised their status in the industry and even the market.

But Tang Yan is not a good choice. Although she is also popular, her personal brand is not loud enough and her indispensability is not that obvious. At least based on the works she has filmed, another actress can do the same, and maybe the effect will be better than her.

Therefore, Tang Yan must now move forward, make her personal brand loud enough, famous enough, and influential enough.

Once you have that one foot left outside the threshold of the top and first-tier cities, your days in the future will be much more secure.

There is no doubt that "The Love of Silence", a big IP in itself and filmed by Blue Whale, will be a key resource for Tang Yan's career. How can we not pay attention to it?

"I also participated in this book, let me tell you about it..."

Wei Yang pulled Tang Yan to sit down and told her that the script was fake. He used the excuse of talking about work to divert her attention first, and then slowly coaxed her. This was a roundabout tactic.

As expected, as Wei Yang was talking about the script, Tang Yan's clothes were undressed by him. The latter's accumulated resentment turned into enthusiasm, and the two of them just lay there on the sofa making love.

…

Forty minutes later, Wei Yang sat on the sofa with his arms around Tang Yan. He took out a box from his bag and handed it to her.

"Hey, a birthday present."

"Didn't I give it to you?"

Tang Yan’s birthday is in early December. Although Wei Yang didn’t come, the gift was delivered, an Hermès bag.

"I heard that bag wasn't pretty, so I'll make you a better one."

Wei Yang did not go to buy the birthday present himself, but asked Wei Fei to buy it at the counter. The latter did not know much about bags, and only knew two elements: [expensive + new]. After buying it, he gave it to Tang Yan.

Later, Wei Yang heard Liu Shishi mention it in casual conversation. She said that Tang Yan had a new bag that she smashed, and asked her to sell it or give it away, but she refused.

Boss Wei can be said to be a VIP customer of all the major luxury stores in Shanghai. Any good stuff will be reserved for him. Wei Yang knew that Tang Yan was not someone he could easily fool today, so he bought some things when he came.

The Bulgari diamond necklace costs about 500,000 yuan, which is quite attractive.

Wei Yang opened the box, and Tang Yan's eyes lit up when she saw the necklace. She kissed Wei Yang happily.

Giving gifts requires careful timing. If Wei Yang gave a gift right after he arrived, it would be like adding fuel to the fire.

Tang Yan is not a little girl who has never seen money. After all, she is a popular actress with an annual income of eight figures.

Although hundreds of thousands of pieces of jewelry are not a drop in the bucket for her, they are not extremely precious treasures either. She can grit her teeth and buy a few pieces for herself.

This is not Tang Yan being pretentious. She ignored someone for several months and was appeased by just buying a necklace. That is really a little promise.

Although Tang Yan knew that she could not compare with Liu Shishi, she would not humble herself to such an extent, let alone let herself become the woman who could be easily settled with money in Wei Yang's mind. She always had the dream of getting to the top in her heart.

Therefore, Wei Yang must not take out the gift at the beginning. He has to coax her enough, especially after a fierce battle, with strong affection, which will have the best effect.

And it can't be said to be compensation for being ignored for a few months, so you have to find another excuse, such as compensation for buying the wrong birthday present.

This way, the sensitive issue of "money" is not involved, but Wei Yang's attitude of apology is implicitly expressed.

Both the face and the substance have been taken into consideration, and the timing is right. No matter how unhappy you are, you can't fall out in bed.

So Tang Yan did not refuse. She even raised her neck with some surprise and asked Wei Yang to put it on her. Then she ran to the mirror in the bedroom to admire her new jewelry.

Seeing Tang Yan accept the gift, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Even if she was a little bit temperamental in the future, he wouldn't have to stay alone in the empty room for days.

Boss Wei turned over the shirt on the floor, found it was a little dirty, and threw it into the washing machine.

Tang Yan didn't have any spare clothes for him, and the air-conditioned room wasn't cold anyway, so after taking a shower, he went shirtless and browsed the Internet for nearby stores, planning to order some takeout.

Meituan and Ele.me are not online yet, but in big cities like Shanghai, there have been some takeaway services for a long time, such as KFC, which can deliver food to your door.

After asking Tang Yan, Wei Yang ordered a meal on the computer. Tang Yan finally finished showing off and snuggled into Wei Yang's arms, sitting on the sofa in the non-battlefield area to watch TV.

After the broadcast of "Temptation to Go Home", the Hunan Provincial TV station took over with "New Smiling Proud Wanderer" by Si Yatou, which received polarized reviews.

But the data is still quite good, especially Chen Qiaoen's gender-reversed version of the Eastern Patriarch, which was liked by many people, making people realize the extent to which domestic audiences desire "Queen-type" roles.

Wei Yang had an average impression of this drama. He found faults while watching the drama and complained about the dead girl, which was quite entertaining.

Just as they were enjoying the meal, the doorbell rang. Tang Yan thought it was the meal being delivered, so she got up to open the door to get it. Then she heard a scream, "Ah!"

"What's wrong?"

Wei Yang thought something had happened, so he rushed over shirtless, and saw Tang Yan, who was at a loss at the door, and Tang's father and mother, who were staring at him in a daze.

If time could go back, Wei Yang would have wanted to travel back a few hours ago and slap himself hard. Wouldn't it be better to stay at home? But unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only force out an awkward but polite smile.

“…Uh, happy new year, uncle and aunt.”

The condition is recurring. I will resume updating even if my hand is broken tomorrow.
