My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1243 Award Ceremony Part 5

It is said that a small gift carries great meaning.

This is just self-consolation for people who can't afford to give gifts. In reality, the value of a gift determines the impression it leaves on important people.

Anyway, Han Wei had never heard of giving worthless things to a leader and getting appreciated.

If you want to gain recognition, gold is definitely a surefire weapon.

Zhang You wasn't short of money, but even if he wasn't, Han Wei believed no one would give him gold bars, especially ten of them. The weight of those ten gold bars... if he were under a different leader, it would be enough to get him sentenced to ten years in prison.

Whether the gift is significant or not depends mainly on the length of the sentence.

It's a pity the price has dropped a bit now. If it were to go up a bit more, with such a good meaning and such a heavy weight, the leader would directly aim for fifteen years. Reaching out to stroke her face, Han Wei helplessly realized that her price hadn't actually decreased after giving birth.

Given her physique, if she really wanted to get back to her former self, she would definitely have to suffer a lot. However, looking at Zhang You who had already walked onto the stage, Han Wei felt that the hardship of losing weight was nothing at all.

"So cool"

Han Wei muttered something under her breath.

Besides Han Wei, many people in the audience were looking at Zhang You, but Zhang Yi, who was not nominated for Best Supporting Actress, was not there tonight.

The main reason is that this woman's due date is in half a month, and no matter how important the award is, it's not as important as the baby in her arms, so he called her best friend Jiang Yiren.

It's fine if she doesn't win an award; if she does, she'll ask Zhang You to help her lead the team.

Even though the organizing committee might hold a grudge, I can't possibly go on stage with such a big belly. What if my stomach starts hurting during the awards ceremony? That would be a disaster.

Liu Fei sat on the sofa in her living room, watching Zhang You walk onto the stage and shake hands with the host, Tao Ran.

"The piano is nice."

Zhang You sat in his chair, looked at the piano with its dark, glossy finish, commented briefly, and then shouted to the camera, "Honey, call someone to come to the venue now. We'll move this piano back after the awards ceremony tonight."

The actors in the audience were stunned for a moment.

Then a burst of laughter erupted.

Even Liu Fei, who was watching the live stream from abroad, was no exception. After laughing, she hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Li Xiaohong, saying, "Have someone go to the awards ceremony and move that black piano back."

"Mom, Dad wants you to greet him!"

Xiao Zishan nudged her mother.

Your dad was just joking.

Jiang Yiren had no intention of actually asking someone to move the piano, and she could tell from her husband's tone that he wasn't serious.

"Mr. Zhang, isn't this inappropriate?!"

Tao Ran panicked immediately.

The organizing committee only allowed Zhang You to perform, but did not permit him to take the piano back.

What's wrong with that?

Zhang You laughed and said, "I wasn't prepared at all for being suddenly asked to be a guest performer! If you really don't like it, then I'll have to make the organizing committee pay my appearance fee tonight. According to the rules of the entertainment industry, this kind of impromptu appearance without any prior notice should cost at least four times the usual fee."

"..."

Tao Ran was speechless for a moment.

This is the first person to directly ask for an appearance fee on the awards ceremony stage. However, it's probably because the awards ceremony this year made a big fuss by inviting someone to be a performer without prior notice.

It seems the organizing committee saw that Zhang You was stopped by the host to sing a song on the Grammy stage abroad, and that he had a strong on-the-spot reaction, so they put on this show in order to increase the ratings.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not refuse, but wanted to take away the piano that the organizing committee had prepared for him, otherwise the organizing committee would have to pay the appearance fee.

Turning his head to glance at an elderly man sitting in the first row, Tao Ran saw the man nod and immediately smiled, saying, "Next, please enjoy Mr. Zhang You's wonderful performance."

"Temporary?!"

Han Wei's eyes lit up. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhang You's fingers slowly began to play on the piano keys.

That's only possible because of him. Anyone else might have been in a real predicament tonight. But the organizing committee probably only dared to do this because they knew his capabilities.

Looking at the piano in front of him with the "STV" logo, Zhang You felt a little more at ease. There were so many things here that Zhang You hadn't paid attention to, but because he was going to teach his two daughters piano, he did do some research on piano brands.

The piano the organizing committee used wasn't the absolute top-of-the-line, but it still cost over two million yuan, which was much better than his own. It was a good opportunity to replace his piano at home.

The tone is somewhat inaccurate.

It's time to adjust it, but now we don't even need to adjust it; we can just replace it with this better one.

As the soothing and gentle piano music flowed from Zhang You's fingertips, many people in the audience subconsciously closed their eyes. This piece was different from Zhang You's other piano pieces; it seemed like a story sealed by time, or like something ringing in their ears.

However, this piece has many similarities to many of Zhang You's pieces, namely, it is very suitable for listening to alone late at night when everything is quiet.

Han Wei gazed at the figure on the stage, now bathed in a single beam of light after the host had left the stage, her eyes filled with fascination.

Listening to him playing the piano.

Looking at his handsome face that took my breath away.

At this moment, Han Wei felt that she could give him anything without reservation, as long as he asked, because he was Li Zongsheng, the first man she had ever been attracted to since her divorce, and compared to the first man she had ever met, this time she was even more attracted to him.

Just when the audience in the audience and those watching on TV thought it was an instrumental piece, Zhang You began to sing into the microphone placed on the piano stand.

His voice was soft yet moving, with a gentle, storytelling quality.

"She came to my concert, on our first date when I was seventeen, my first love. The boy queued up for her, saving up for half a year to buy a pair of tickets. I sang until her heart broke, I sang until her heart broke. Three years of relationship, and one letter was all it took to take it all back..."

Hearing her husband sing this song, Jiang Yiren, who was sitting on the sofa holding her son, was stunned.

She had heard her husband sing this song before.

Jiang Yiren remembered that she had asked Mr. Zhang for the song, but he refused her outright, basically saying that she couldn't sing it well.

Now it seems... how come she can't sing well?!

"At thirty-three, true love is so precious. Young girls should step aside and let men decide who to run away with. Hehehe, who's running away with them..."

Hear this.

Jiang Yiren knew that it wasn't that she couldn't sing well, but rather that she couldn't sing as well as her husband.

In a certain part of the lyrics, the singer chose a broken singing technique, especially when singing about being seventeen years old, which involved an outward burst of sound, with the ending notes having an echo.

As Jiang Yiren was analyzing the techniques her husband used to sing the song so naturally, she heard her daughter's voice in her ear.

"Mom, why don't you learn to sing from Dad when he gets back?"

Xiaozi Shan laughed.

"Go and get the duct tape."

Jiang Yiren spoke.

"what!?"

Xiao Zishan asked.

"Seal your mouth shut with duct tape"

Jiang Yiren said coldly, "I've noticed you've been talking way too much lately. If you're just watching TV, why are you saying so much?! I can make money even if I'm not a good singer, but what can you do if you're not a good student?!"

"Just get a job!"

Xiao Zishan replied directly, "What else can I do! You and Dad asked me to collect beverage bottles, right? I'll have Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Zichu collect them, and then I'll sell them. That way I'll have money."
