My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

In the attic, Su Qinghuan's team also finished their short break.

The once lavish dishes on the huge dining table had been removed and replaced by a dozen high-speed laptops and various complex communication devices.

The entire living room of Tingyuxuan has been transformed into a temporary command center.

"Has the review team released the second batch of names yet? Send it to me quickly!"

"Tech team, test the connection channel again! I don't care what method you use, there absolutely cannot be any lag or delay tonight!"

"Publicity team, keep building momentum for me online! Keep the hype high!!"

Su Qinghuan sat in the main seat, wearing headphones, and methodically issued instructions to the various groups.

Her beautiful face no longer showed any signs of fatigue, only the absolute confidence and composure of someone in control.

Old Wang and Little Li beside her were already in battle mode.

Old Wang was responsible for communicating with the on-site director in the square to ensure that the placement of every camera position and the angle of every light were precise to the extreme.

Xiao Li was responsible for keeping an eye on the endless stream of online applications pouring into the backend, and assisting the review team in the final screening.

"Sister Qinghuan! Chairman!" Xiao Li exclaimed excitedly, looking at her computer screen, "The first batch of contact lists has been finalized!"

She sent a list to the main screen in front of Su Qinghuan.

Su Qinghuan's gaze quickly swept over the list.

[First contact: Li Hu, a soldier stationed at a border post in the Kunlun Mountains.]

[Second interviewee: Zhang Jing, Head Nurse of the Emergency Department, Wuhan First People's Hospital.]

[Third interviewee: Liu Yang, Harvard University, PhD student majoring in semiconductor engineering.]

[Fourth interviewee: Wang Daniu, an assembly line worker at an electronics factory in Dongguan.]

……

There are a total of twelve people on the list.

They come from all walks of life, with vastly different backgrounds and social statuses.

But they all share a common identity.

That is, those who stay up all night on New Year's Eve, a night when families are reunited, and cannot go home; they are the people who stay up to welcome the New Year.

Looking at the list and the weighty stories behind each name, Su Qinghuan felt a surge of emotion.

She knew that tonight, she would be doing more than just a live broadcast.

It is also a supreme tribute to these ordinary yet great people.

"Have you contacted them all?" Su Qinghuan asked. "Are they all prepared? Are there any special requirements? For example, can't they show their faces, or can't they reveal their workplace?"

"We've contacted them all!" Xiao Li replied immediately. "They were all very excited and cooperative! They both said they would be waiting for our call on time!"

"As for the issue of confidentiality, we have confirmed with them repeatedly. They will handle the situation carefully and will not disclose any information that should not be disclosed."

"Okay." Su Qinghuan nodded. "Then let's connect them according to the order of this list."

Just as they were making their final preparations.

There was only half an hour left until 8 p.m.

The official live broadcast room of Strawberry TV was already packed with people, and the barrage of comments was overwhelming.

"It's here! It's finally starting! I've been waiting since this afternoon, I haven't even eaten!"

"Me too! I skipped the New Year's Eve dinner my mom made me eat so I could watch this New Year's Eve gala! My mom almost broke my legs!"

"Hey upstairs, you're nobody! I stood up my girlfriend to watch the live stream! She's breaking up with me now! But I don't care! No woman is as appealing as a rich young master!"

"You're awesome, you're a wolf in sheep's clothing! But... you're right! Tonight, nobody's stopping me from seeing the young master!"

"It's almost eight o'clock, isn't it? Why hasn't it started yet? I'm so impatient!"

"Where's the anchor? Where's my stunningly beautiful goddess, Su Qinghuan? Come out and say something!"

Countless netizens waited anxiously in the live stream room.

They were like a flock of fledglings, eagerly awaiting to be fed.

At this moment, in the ancestral hall square of Wujia Village.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Wu You arrived at the main seat that had been prepared for him, located directly in front of the campfire.

It was a grand master's chair carved from a single, enormous piece of golden nanmu wood.

Behind the chair, there was a soft blanket.

Wu You sat there quietly, wearing that black down cloak.

Beside him was a small coffee table.

On the coffee table, there was a pot of his favorite West Lake Longjing tea, kept warm.

Behind him, Wu Jingzhi, Wu Jingxing, Lin Wei, and all the core members of Wu Family Village stood respectfully on both sides.

Everyone was waiting for that moment to arrive.

at last.

When the ancient clock in the square rang out eight deep yet melodious chimes.

It was exactly 8 p.m.
