I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 317 Wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year in advance!

After the toasts were over, everyone could finally return to their seats and have a proper meal.

Zeng Yi and Ling Hua exchanged a glance, wondering if it would be inappropriate for them to go over there at this time.

How embarrassing.

Why am I practically invisible tonight?

But with the boss around, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to do anything.

At 7 p.m., after finishing the hot pot, everyone worked together to clean up the place, and then a dozen or so mahjong tables were set up.

Jiang Tian opened her phone and looked at the comments in the live stream, then looked at Ye Xian with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Brother Xian, is your birthday really going to be this simple? Just some hot pot and a game of mahjong?"

Ye Xian asked in surprise, "If we don't celebrate like this, how else should we celebrate? Do you have any other plans for your birthday at home?"

Jiang Tian looked at Ye Xian speechlessly: "Big brother, you're a big star now! Even if you weren't a big star, you're still a streamer with 4000 million followers. Shouldn't you be like other streamers, opening gifts, reading everyone's blessings, and interacting with your fans?"

Ye Xian suddenly realized that when he took the live-streaming phone from Sun Li, he saw that everyone in the comments was clamoring for him to open the gifts.

"You want to see the gifts everyone sent me? How can I show you such private things? Just watch the live stream."

"Want me to read out New Year's greetings? Well, there are too many to reply to individually, so I can only wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year in advance!"

"Want to connect live? Wait a minute, I want to play mahjong right now. Okay, that's all for the interaction. Everyone, please watch quietly as I play mahjong with some big stars."

……

Ye Xian casually tossed the live-streaming phone to Sun Li and turned to greet everyone to take their seats.

Jiang Tian was stunned, and so were the fans in the live stream.

[Stir-fried noodles without MSG: Why isn't Brother Xian following the script? Aren't all those big influencers going crazy asking for gifts on their birthdays? Why isn't Brother Xian being enthusiastic at all? Am I supposed to give away the gifts I painstakingly prepared for the carnival?]

[Ru Lai Shan Zhang: Didn't Brother Xian just say he followed the usual birthday celebration routine? The problem is, even for ordinary young people celebrating their birthdays, don't they get a cake and go to karaoke? Just playing mahjong like that? Brother Xian, are you middle-aged? Or have you prematurely entered middle-aged life?]

[Long-tongued Gentleman: Do people from Haizhou really love mahjong that much? I thought only Chongqing and Sichuan provinces loved mahjong! The problem is, isn't tonight's birthday celebration a bit too hasty? Millions of people in the live stream, and you're just watching you eat hotpot and play mahjong? Do you even care about us late-night snackers?]

[Love is a deep pool with many scoundrels: I really want to punch him! He didn't even sing a happy birthday song, what a shabby birthday celebration! At least let us see the sixth princess! Tired, unfollowing! Whatever!]

……

Setting up a mahjong table, where to sit down, has become another problem.

Ye Xian and the Sixth Princess will definitely sit at one table, so who will sit for the remaining two?

Qiu Qing originally wanted to sit down, but her mother reached out and pulled her. She immediately understood and moved a small stool to sit behind Ye Xian, acting as a little advisor.

Qiu's mother consciously went to sit at the same table with Teacher Hu Li.

Ding Ding, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao, the three goddesses, exchanged glances. Liu Xiaoxiao stretched and said, "I'm not very good at playing. I'll just sit on the sidelines and watch."

After saying that, Liu Xiaoxiao moved a small stool and sat down behind the Sixth Princess: "Your Highness, I'll be your little advisor! Brother Xian has a little advisor, so you definitely need one too!"

Li Yunxi nodded and smiled, "It's always good to have more people to refer to, since I didn't play very well either."

After Jiang Tian sat down, she asked again, unwilling to give up, "Ye Xian, do you really have no other plans today? Only mahjong?"

While building the Great Wall, Ye Xian chuckled and asked, "What kind of show do you want?"

Jiang Tian pointed to the live stream phone: "With so many fans watching, you're just letting them watch a mahjong game? I reckon the live stream will be empty in no time."

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "It's my birthday today, not someone else's. I'm happy as long as I'm happy. Besides, it's better to keep things simple and avoid being accused of 'harvesting leeks' (a Chinese idiom for exploiting others)."

Unwrapping gifts in front of fans? I don't know how people can do something like that. Whether a gift is good or not, whether it suits their taste or not, is something only they know. Taking it out to show off to everyone, comparing it to each other, isn't that flaunting wealth? And it can easily create rifts among friends.

Jiang Tian and Ding Ding exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous. Although they were both prepared, Ye Xian's unconventional approach was certainly not the proper procedure for a supernova's birthday celebration.

Just like Jiang Tian said, when a celebrity celebrates their birthday, everyone wants to see the gifts and blessings they receive, to see them perform a show, and to see them interact with fans. Many die-hard fans are even already in various parts of the Tang Dynasty to show their support at this time. But you, the celebrity, are just like an old man, eating hot pot and playing mahjong and that's it?

Even if you're very calm and collected, you should still be mindful of your fans' feelings, right?

After all, you're a public figure now.

Ye Xian's explanation just now made everyone feel that what he did was indeed a good thing.

[Living in the crotch: I like this about Brother Xian; he's never been like other bloggers or celebrities, he doesn't use many tricks.]

[The most popular thing is Aunt Flo: Exactly! It's her birthday, she's happy enough, why make others happy too? Those gifts, who are they trying to embarrass? Believe me, just Hasina's gifts alone will make everyone in this room ashamed!]

[A cute face that's been a menace for three years: Indeed, Hasina alone could easily defeat everyone in the house, except for the Sixth Princess! So, this is pretty good. It would be even more perfect if Brother Xian could chat with everyone more later!]

[Habitually adorably clueless: What's the rush? It's only this late! Brother Xian definitely won't end here, everyone just wait! I bet he has some more surprises in store.]

……

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they still played mahjong. To everyone's surprise, Dingding had an exceptionally good run of luck, winning by self-draw for several rounds in a row.

Jiang Tian lost three games in a row and was a little unwilling to accept it, so she asked again and again, "Brother Xian, are you really not prepared any talents or anything?"

Li Yunxi, having lost a few rounds, was a bit frustrated: "Alright, stop hiding it. I don't believe you weren't prepared!"

Ye Xian was taken aback: "Your Highness, how did you know?"

Everyone burst into laughter: "I knew it! How could you possibly come up with nothing?"

The fans in the live stream also got excited.

I just found out that today's only games are hot pot and mahjong. Many of the millions of online users have already left. After playing a few rounds of mahjong, the big stars didn't chat much either. Everyone got sleepier and sleepier, and many more people left.

At that moment, the hundreds of thousands of fans who remained in the live stream began to feel fortunate.

Ye Xian certainly didn't disappoint his die-hard fans.

Ye Xian stood up and stretched, seeing that everyone seemed to be having a good time playing mahjong, and felt a little sorry for them: "How about we let them play a little longer?"

Goddess Dingding said coquettishly, "Alright, stop keeping us in suspense! Everyone's waiting."

Ye Xian clapped his hands helplessly, attracting everyone's attention: "Everyone, today is my birthday. If it just passes by so simply, I guess everyone is a little disappointed."

So, I still prepared a few small details.
