Although the two dramas "Mu Mansion Fengyun" and "Joy of Life 3" have aired their finales, their aftertaste is still strong.
Liu Shishi was forced by various tasks to not have time to celebrate the New Year, as she had to run around for announcements everywhere.
There is no way. Now is a critical moment. Her popularity and exposure are soaring. It is time to consolidate the fruits of victory. No matter how Buddhist she is, she cannot give up this rare opportunity.
Therefore, Liu Shishi felt the days of not having a holiday on New Year's Eve ten years in advance, and would wait until after the New Year to take a day off.
In comparison, Boss Wei is much more free. Logically speaking, he should be running around at this time, taking advantage of the popularity of "Joy of Life 3" to make a fortune.
But who made Wei Yang rich? He himself is not obsessed with reaching the top of the entertainment industry, so he doesn't care about how long it will take.
So at this juncture, Boss Wei still chose to take a break.
He has worked so hard for such a long time, not just to work against his will during the New Year.
He might have had some concerns two years ago, but now, as long as the sky doesn’t fall, it won’t delay Boss Wei’s New Year celebrations.
In fact, according to Wei Yang, there was no need for Liu Shishi to run around so hard. With him around, it didn't matter if she was lazy.
However, Liu Shishi felt that a lot of work had been scheduled in advance, and there were also reasons on the Tang people's side, so she did not act on her own.
She has much more free time than most people. If she really wants to rest, she can just take a short vacation after the New Year.
So, while Liu Shishi worked hard, Boss Wei basically went into a semi-holiday state.
These days, he either goes out fishing or plays, or stays at home reading and sleeping, or goes to the Magic City to communicate with his big Mimi, or accompanies Zhao Liying to prepare New Year's goods. His life is really enjoyable.
"My, my."
At a football field in Shanghai, Wei Yang, who had called Li Jiahang out to play football today, stopped the ball out of bounds and looked at his teammate apologetically, who waved his hand and expressed his sincerity.
"It's okay, I just used too much force."
It's not that he has low moral integrity. Although Wei Yang's basketball skills are mediocre, he can still be a cashier.
If you meet a football buddy who treats you to a meal every time you play football, with the per-person bill easily over a thousand yuan, and he drinks Chinese Furong Wang by the strip, Maotai and Wuliangye by the box, and he goes out for karaoke and a bath from time to time, even if he smothers the ball in his face, people will probably give him a thumbs up and praise his footwork as better than Messi.
Although his teammates were very kind, Boss Wei still had some concerns in his mind.
After playing for a while, he felt his strength was declining, so he asked to be substituted, and expressed his feelings to Li Jiahang, who had already left the field.
"No, I haven't touched the ball for such a long time, it's hard for me to stop the ball. I can't call myself the Beckham of Huashan Road anymore."
Back then, Wei Yang was the main force of the Shanghai Theatre Academy team. Although he was a taunting "shield striker" in most cases, his basic operation was still stable.
As a result, now that I'm working, the number of times I touch football each year can be counted on two hands, not to mention the number of matches I play in. My footwork has declined drastically, and I have to rely on help from my teammates and occasional slack from my opponents.
"Bullshit, when did you become Beckham? Back then, besides recruiting young girls, he almost had his leg broken by a tackle after he kicked a ball into the net."
Li Jiahang decisively exposed the weakness. Wei Yang, the main player of the Shanghai Theatre Academy team, was good at bluffing others, but he knew what was going on.
Wei Yang pushed it, and while he couldn't help laughing, he also felt a little scared.
It was rare for me to stand out at the beginning, so I didn't think too much about it. Now I think about it, I am quite lucky. I was targeted so much in every game, but nothing happened.
"So I am a blessed person, born with a good life."
Li Jiahang thought about it and did not refute. In his opinion, Wei Yang was able to build such a large business in just a few years. Although he had extraordinary personal abilities, luck was definitely a factor as well. He could indeed be called the chosen one.
After chatting for a while, Wei Yang asked about this year's Chinese New Year: "Are you planning to celebrate it in Shanghai this year?"
"Um."
Li Jiahang was a little depressed. He had developed well in Shanghai in the past two years and just bought a house last year.
Wei Yang lent him some money and he directly bought Cuihu Tiandi, a first-tier luxury house in Shanghai. He got it done in one go and avoided having to think about changing houses later if he made a bad deal.
The house has been basically renovated. It is said that Li Jiahang originally wanted to bring his father to spend the New Year together in Shanghai, but the plan fell through.
Afterwards, he stayed in Shanghai and did not go back to his hometown for the New Year, saying that the new house needed to be left alone for the first year.
Li Jiahang didn't explain the reason directly, but Wei Yang actually knew what was going on.
Li Sheng and his assistant were afraid that something might happen to him, so they secretly told Wei Yang, hoping that he could help persuade him. After all, Li Jiahang listened to him the most.
The matter was simple. Mr. Li met a girlfriend last year and they were thinking of developing a closer relationship, so he wanted his son to come over to visit during the Chinese New Year.
Li Jiahang didn't want to face this matter, so he found an excuse to stay in Shanghai.
To be honest, as far as Wei Yang was concerned, Li Jiahang was not against his father's remarriage. After all, he was in his fifties and his son was not around, so it was normal for him to find a companion.
But although he understood it, this change in thinking could not be so smooth, and he didn't know how to face this "new elder".
So Li Jiahang acted like an ostrich, and although Wei Yang understood the situation, he did not try to persuade him.
Outsiders couldn't speak up about this kind of thing! Even Li Sheng, the daughter-in-law who hadn't married yet, couldn't get a word in, let alone him. Li Jiahang had to face it all by himself.
All Wei Yang could do was to support his brother's decision, so he didn't ask any more questions and just expressed his opinion directly.
"That's great. Bring your wife home for dinner. It will be more fun to drink with more people during the New Year."
Li Sheng was worried that Li Jiahang might get into trouble if he stayed in Shanghai alone, so he specially stayed in Shanghai to accompany him this year.
In fact, she wanted to take Li Jiahang back to her home so that he could meet his parents, but she was afraid of irritating him too much, so she didn't dare to do so.
But Wei Yang understands her man better than Li Sheng does. Although this guy is a little sensitive and sometimes seems like a potential depression patient, his mental quality is not that fragile.
Moreover, when one or two people are alone together and it is quiet and lonely, it is easier to think too much.
When a whole family gets together, has a lot of fun and laughs, it is easier to be in a good mood.
"Don't bother you, we can do it ourselves..."
"It's a bother."
Li Jiahang was about to refuse, but Wei Yang interrupted him: "You are not so polite when you usually come to my house for meals. Go back and pack your things. My mother has reserved a room for you. By the way..."
Wei Yang suddenly blinked: "Should I leave one room for you, or two?"
"Ahem, one room please."
Li Jiahang's face turned red, but he still decisively guaranteed his welfare benefits. Wei Yang curled his lips.
"Be careful, I don't want to be a godfather so early."
After chatting for a while, Wei Yang went up to play for a while and scored a penalty. He was in a good mood and arranged for the two teams to have dinner together.
When Wei Yang plays football, he never discriminates against people's identities. Whether you are a corporate executive or a small restaurant owner, he treats everyone equally.
If there is a slightly special status, it is that they have a preference for ball skills, and they must be amateur players.
With Wei Yang's status, it is not difficult for him to call a few main players to the Magic City professional team, but that would be meaningless. What we want is the surprise of a flash of inspiration when the noobs are fighting each other.
Therefore, Wei Yang was still very polite to these "team leaders", asking them to pass the ball and create penalties, and even toasting them with an extra glass at the post-match dinner.
After wandering around, Wei Yang went home first. Before nightfall, Li Jiahang came with Li Sheng and two boxes of luggage.
"This kid keeps talking nonsense. Come in quickly. Oh, this is Xiao Sheng, so pretty. Jiahang is so lucky."
Wang Yunping and Li Jiahang are very familiar with each other, especially since the old couple moved to Shanghai. The latter often came to their home to play, so she and Wei Shan basically treated him as half a son.
As for Li Sheng, although they had heard of each other, this was the first time they met. Facing the elders and the boss's parents, Li Sheng was inevitably a little reserved.
Facing Wang Yunping's enthusiastic greeting, he responded cautiously, fearing that he might say something wrong and cause displeasure.
"It's okay, Auntie is very kind, don't be nervous."
Li Jiahang sensed his girlfriend's uneasiness, and found an opportunity to comfort her with a few words, and stayed by her side the entire time.
Wang Yunping looked at the young couple with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction and a little envy.
Jiahang is an honest child, and the couple has a good, stable and natural relationship. Unlike the one in her family, who is full of cunning tricks and has never thought about settling down and living a good life, she is so worried that she can't sleep at night.
As soon as Boss Wei, who was disliked by his mother, came downstairs, he was greeted with two glares.

Wei Yang was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Li Jiahang and gave him a sharp look.
"Did you backstab me?"
Li Jiahang was even more confused and looked back innocently: "No."
Wei Yang realized that something was wrong and decisively took Li Jiahang and the other man to see the room, so as to prevent Wang Yunping from losing her temper and scolding him in person.
After settling down, Wei Yang and the others went downstairs. Wang Yunping went out to walk the dog, and Wei Yang seized the opportunity to ask his father Wei Shan.
"Do you think my mom is going through menopause? She's been looking at me with particular displeasure these past two days."
"I don't know if she's in menopause, but last month Mr. Lu's youngest son got married next door, and your mother has been holding her anger against you since she attended the wedding."
"His youngest son... hasn't graduated from college yet, right?"
Wei Yang knew that Mr. Lu was in the shipping and foreign trade business and he was quite wealthy, otherwise he would not be able to afford to live in Yunhua Mansion.
I have also seen his youngest son Wei Yang. I remember him as a young boy with a green face. He begged Wei Yang to take a photo with him and post it on Weibo to gain fans and pick up girls. I didn't expect that he is married now.
"Born in 1994, just in his early twenties this year."
"This is not even the legal age to get a marriage certificate. This is too much. Is there any way for this person to survive?"
Wei Yang felt very uncomfortable. People who were so much younger than him were already married. It was just like getting married. No wonder his mother disliked him.
"Not only that, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and we will probably have a full-moon banquet in the summer."
Wei Shan added coldly that the Lu family was a wealthy family, and there must be a reason why their son was in a hurry to get married at such a young age. This was also the point that Wang Yunping was most unhappy with Wei Yang.
"I blame you for not stopping Li Ying. If she were here, she could keep your mother stable. If she's not here, you'll suffer the consequences."
Wei Shan actually had some issues with his son, so he watched the fun with glee. Wei Yang felt really regretful, but there was nothing he could do.
"Liying hasn't been home for a year. I can't stop her during the New Year."
"I shouldn't have stopped you, so you should suffer the consequences."
Wei Shan nodded and stabbed Wei Yang again. Looking at Boss Wei's desperate face, Li Jiahang smiled.
You've come to the right place. This is indeed more conducive to restoring your mood...
Wei Yang felt very aggrieved, especially when he saw Wei Shan and Li Jiahang looking like they were having fun, he became even more furious.
He really wanted to beat up Li Jiahang, but he was a guest after all. More importantly, his girlfriend was watching them, so he had to give him some face.
So, Wei Yang looked at Wei Shan with "filial piety".
Of course, he definitely wouldn't dare to use violence, nor could he curse anyone. But just because he couldn't hit or curse anyone, it didn't mean that he couldn't do anything to Comrade Lao Wei.
"Dad, the Gu Jingzhou purple clay teapot you bought not long ago is a fake."
"What?"
Wei Shan almost sprained his waist when he stood up. In the past few years since he came to Shanghai, in addition to opening a fruit shop to pass the time, Wei Shan has gradually explored other hobbies.
I don’t know who initiated the relationship, but since the first half of this year, Comrade Lao Wei has become obsessed with antiques and collectibles.
After learning for a few months and thinking that I had improved my eyesight, I started to put it into practice.
Comrade Lao Wei is not short of money. The pocket money Wei Yang gives him every year is no less than six figures, not including household expenses.
In addition, his fruit shop is doing quite well, mainly because Boss Wei is backing it up, so the net profit each month is at least a few thousand and at most tens of thousands.
When you have money in your hands, you will naturally spend it generously.
Even though he was rather cautious in his spending due to his personality and background, he still managed to acquire quite a few "hard goods" here and there, and also picked up several "bargains", which he would often show off to his family.
"How could it be fake? That's Gu Jingzhou's standard style. Several of our friends have seen it and it's fine."
"Don't mention your friends. They all have a Xuande furnace, and every family has two Yuan blue and white porcelains. They buy Tang Bohu and Qi Baishi's paintings and calligraphy by the dozen. They are more stubborn than the other, and they want to shout that the Forbidden City is fake and the real one is in his home."
What even Wei Shan didn't know was that Wei Yang had already investigated his friends, mainly because he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would plot against his father.
Later, he found out that the circle was indeed not that clean, but it was not as complicated as he thought.
Lao Wei is not stupid and did not reveal his identity. Those friends only knew that Lao Wei had some spare money and his son was quite powerful, but they knew nothing else.
Seeing this, Wei Yang realized that Old Wei and the others were not very playful, so he just let him do as he pleased, just to entertain the old man.
It's just that Comrade Old Wei really went too far today, so Wei Yang simply exposed his true colors and hit his father right in the face.
"To tell you the truth, I have consulted experts about the items you bought. I can't say that they are all new, but the oldest ones are no older than the Reform and Opening-up."
Wei Shan looked incredulous and asked repeatedly, "What about my imperial kiln piece from the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Fake!"
"A Ming Dynasty Hetian seal?"
"Miscellaneous jade, good luck, 300 including postage."
"What about the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln that I found at a bargain price of 188,000 yuan?"
"Remember, if you hear about Xuande, blue and white, or Ru kiln, turn around and walk away."
“…”
Wei Shan returned to his room in despair. Wei Yang couldn't bear it and turned to ask, "Did I use too much force?"
Li Jiahang raised his thumbs high: "No wonder everyone calls you an expert in killing your father, you are so filial..."
