My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1343 The Party
At 3:30 pm, the light outside the window was still quite strong.

It doesn't feel like the dead of winter anymore.

However, the beginning of spring is not far away. After the New Year, it will soon be the beginning of spring, unlike in previous years when the beginning of spring had already passed before the New Year. Zhang Yi sat on the bouncy chair in the room.

Opposite her was Zhang You, who had been basking in the sun on the balcony with Zhang Wangshu in his arms and had also sat down.

As an artist, Zhang Yi knows that artists often present a different side when they are away from the spotlight, but the side that Zhang You showed at this moment truly delighted her.

She's been holding her daughter tightly ever since she arrived in the afternoon.

The key is that after hugging her for a while, Zhang You would also bend down and kiss his daughter. This made him happier than kissing her. Judging from Zhang You's behavior, he really loves his daughter.

now.

Not long ago, after the nanny left, there was no one else in the room except for her, her daughter, and Zhang You. This made Zhang Yi feel that the three of them were now like a family of three.

However, this can only be a fleeting thought that she occasionally indulges in.

Zhang Yi picked up her phone and was about to tell Zhang You to go back when she suddenly heard Zhang You's phone ring. Thinking it was her best friend calling, Zhang Yi got up and went to Zhang You's side, taking her daughter from his arms.

Zhang You had already done enough for her, and she couldn't ask for anything more. Then, Zhang Yi realized that it seemed that the person who called Zhang You wasn't her best friend.

Zhang Youyou said helplessly, "After rejecting it, we can just shorten the length. It's going to start tonight, and I haven't rehearsed or prepared at all. Asking me to go on now... I may be good at impromptu reactions, but this is a live broadcast, and it's in front of billions of viewers. I refused last time because the pressure was too great."

Zhang Yi was stunned.

It seems they're planning to get Zhang You on the Spring Festival Gala.

But today is New Year's Eve, and there are only a few hours left before the Spring Festival Gala starts, and they suddenly asked Zhang You to go on... Zhang Yi has no idea what the production team is thinking.

"Director, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but the facts are clear, and the pressure is immense. I'm completely unprepared. I haven't practiced my voice at all lately. What if I crack in front of billions of viewers?! Seriously, if you're going to cut it, just shorten the runtime. I don't believe you didn't have a contingency plan."

then.

It seemed like a different person was speaking to Zhang You, because Zhang You respectfully addressed him as "leader." Zhang Yi didn't know which leader it was, but he figured it must be someone with a high-ranking position, otherwise Zhang You wouldn't have needed to do that.

Zhang Yi didn't know what to say about this.

Even the most influential celebrities are still just celebrities. Let alone celebrities, even business tycoons who seem unapproachable to ordinary people... seem quite ordinary.

The most captivating element isn't standing on stage basking in the cheers of countless spectators, but rather the jacket. It exudes more presence than any suit. Suits may look good, but they lack a commanding presence; a jacket, on the other hand, commands respect simply by standing there.

So when Zhang Yi heard Zhang You call out "leader," he knew that Zhang You, a king in the entertainment industry, would definitely go. These people either don't speak up, or once they do, no artist or businessman can refuse.

Even if Zhang You really wasn't prepared.

Sure enough, after this "leader" intervened, Zhang You said a few words, nodded in agreement, hung up the phone, rubbed his cheeks, and then let out a sigh.

"Are you going to sing on stage tonight!?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"Um"

Zhang You nodded and said, "A skit was rejected, so I had to fill in."

Zhang You was unlucky to encounter this. Back on Earth, he dared not get too involved with these people. But in this society, if you're just an ordinary person, it's fine; you might just need to go to the government office or local police station to handle some matters. But the higher you climb, the more unavoidable many things become. Actually, as he said, he felt that if the skit was too long, shortening it would solve the problem. If it was canceled, other programs could be moved to the front of the schedule, especially since… since a certain year, audience expectations for it hadn't been high, yet he was forced to take its place.

But let's go for it!

There isn't a very good solution.

"What time period!?"

Zhang Yi asked, "So I can bring my daughter to watch it with me?"

"do not know"

Zhang You shook his head.

All he knows right now is that a program was canceled tonight and he has to fill in. He knows nothing else. Anyway, Zhang You doesn't understand either. Normally, if a program is canceled, everything should be finalized by the 27th at the latest, but this year it has been delayed until today.

After speaking with Zhang Yi, Zhang You picked up his coat and walked out, saying, "I need to get to the studio now. Take care of yourself and the child."

"Go!"

Zhang Yi replied with a smile.

After Zhang You left, Zhang Yi leaned down and whispered in her daughter's ear, "Daddy's going to be on the Spring Festival Gala. Mommy will watch it with you tonight."

On his way to the TV station, Zhang You called his favorite singer to tell her about it. Afterward, Zhang You called his company to have several suits sent to the TV station for him to choose from.

As for styling, you can go to the TV station and have their stylists do it. Anyway, being on the fly always brings a lot of unexpected trouble.

In other situations, it's fine, it's just singing, but tonight's stage is too big. Zhang You said he felt too much pressure, and that wasn't a joke. At most, a mistake at a concert is seen by tens of thousands of people, or even filmed and posted on short video platforms. But on such a big stage, even the smallest mistake will be magnified infinitely.

Zhang You even suspected that he was being targeted.

Otherwise, it's not like the shows haven't been canceled before. The way they were dealt with was to cut the show and reduce its length. Besides, there have been times when they were canceled at the last minute due to poor recording quality, but there have never been any instances of finding someone to fill in temporarily.

Everyone knows this stage is very important.

The production team is aware of this.

The artists who went on stage were also aware of this.

This time... well, Zhang You didn't get a good feeling about it. But it's also possible that his live performance at the Grammys and his impromptu performance at the Golden City Awards were so successful that the production team thought of him.

Zhang You didn't know the specifics.

He could only go ahead and see what happened. As for whether he was being targeted, he would have to find out later. Zhang You didn't remember offending anyone, but he had made so much money recently, and the pre-sale box office of "Crazy Stone" was so high, so it wasn't impossible that he was being targeted.

soon.

Many people already knew that he would be going on stage tonight.

Han Hui, who had just finished giving out New Year's money at Zhang You's house that morning and then went home, called Jiang Yiren to confirm. After learning that it was true, she said seriously, "What kind of project is your husband going to invest in next? He needs to get one or two doormen to help him out."
