Chapter 319: It's a pleasure to work with you

"My dear teacher Su, you are now the most beautiful teacher known to the whole network. Isn't it normal to invite you to the Children's Day Gala? Those who can appear on CCTV programs must have a good family background, especially those facing children. They must have correct values, high ideological awareness, and be able to spread positive energy and become role models. It is an honor for them to choose you. I mean, you must go and show your face first. Maybe you will have a chance to appear on CCTV Spring Festival Gala!"

"What am I going to do? I can't dance, and my singing is so-so."

"You call that sloppy, but shouldn't I call it howling like a ghost? Hurry up and say something, are you going or not?"

"Go, go, go. How can I not go when Father Yang summons me? I must go."

"That's more like it. I'll reply to the director then."

"Oh, well, let's have a dinner together tonight, a studio dinner. You can invite Yu Lihe and the others. Forget it, just invite all the comrades, including Gu Yunchen."

The studio staff were easy to arrange. Except for Chen Tao, all other members of the comrades group were in Beijing and said they would definitely keep the appointment.

Chen Tao has an event in Shanghai today.

At 7 o'clock, everyone met at the hot pot restaurant. Gu Yunchen couldn't come because of something.

When friends get together, eating hotpot is the best way to create a good atmosphere.

"Where is Chen Tao? Why doesn't Chen Tao come?" Deng Zian asked.

"He'll come later." Liu Yayi said.

"Ah? Didn't he say that he had an event in Shanghai?" Ning Xi contacted him personally. The event would end at five o'clock, and there would be several interviews afterwards, and a live broadcast at eight o'clock in the evening.

"He said he had postponed all his later things and should be on the plane right now. It was the first time that a group of comrades-in-arms had gathered together like this, and he said he couldn't be absent," said Liu Yayi.

Deng Zian and Qi Lei exchanged glances, and Deng Zian smiled meaningfully: "Liu Yayi, how come you know so much about Chen Tao? I called him this afternoon, but he didn't tell me! In all, among all of us, I have known him the longest."

Liu Yayi blushed and hesitated: "Maybe... when I called him, he had just made the decision."

Su Ran winked at Han Dong, there was something going on between these two people.

Han Dong's sense of smell for this kind of thing is not very sharp: "Ran Ran, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Ran: Uh... what a person who doesn’t understand romance.

"My eyes are fine."

"Oh, then you should eat more beef to replenish your body." Han Dong diligently picked up some food for Su Ran.

Su Ran reached under the table and pinched Han Dong's waist hard. What do you want to replenish

Su Ran's strength was just a tickle to Han Dong. Han Dong whispered, "I just want to eat more and gain some weight. Look, you've lost weight even though you worked so hard on the filming."

Su Ran blushed. She thought Han Dong was talking about what happened last night.

Fortunately, everyone's attention is now on Liu Yayi, and no one noticed the little movements between the couple.

Shen Yifeng smiled, and as he continued speaking, Liu Yayi's face turned redder than the cooked shrimp.

"Deng Zian, didn't you participate in the talent show? Why are you back so soon?"

Deng Zian said awkwardly, "Don't mention it. I don't want to renew my contract with the company. Naturally, the company won't train me anymore. I'm just here to serve as a foil and fill in the numbers. Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway, my contract will expire in two months."

Ning Xi was picking up shrimp slips while casually saying, "Deng Zian, how about you continue with me after your contract expires?"

"Okay, Sister Ning Xi, this is what you said." Deng Zian agreed without hesitation.

Ning Xi didn't expect him to agree so readily. She was stunned and the shrimps slipped back into the pot.

Seeing this, Su Ran said, "Ning Xi, please talk to everyone."

Ning Xi put down her chopsticks and cleared her throat. "I have something to tell you. Su Ran and I have set up a company affiliated with Wanli. Wanli's resources will focus on our company. So, we don't have to worry about resources, and they are high-quality resources. What we lack now is people. Currently, the company's only artists are Su Ran and Ye Dansha. Do you... want to consider it?"

After Ning Xi finished speaking, she gave Yu Li a look. Yu Li took out several folders from her bag and distributed them to Shen Yifeng and others according to the corresponding names on the folders.

"This is the career plan we have customized for you based on each of your personality traits, hard conditions, and soft conditions, as well as the general content of the contract."

"Sister Ning Xi, you are so sincere!" Deng Zian said with emotion.

"We are not just making empty promises. All of this can be written down in black and white in the contract."

Shen Yifeng looked at the plan and found it full of sincerity. He has indeed reached a bottleneck period and needs to get rid of his inherent image, broaden his acting range and find more possibilities. The plan Ning Xi made for him is to solve these problems for him, and the other conditions are also very favorable. Artists have a lot of freedom and autonomy.

Shen Yifeng closed the plan: "Ning Xi, looking forward to working with you."

Ning Xi's eyes lit up: "Why don't you take a closer look?"

"No need to look at it. How can I not trust you and Su Ran? I'll sign."

"I'll sign too." Qi Lei said.

"I'll sign too." Deng Zian and Liu Yayi said in unison.

Ning Xi turned to Su Ran, and was so happy. It was great. Her company had a movie queen, a movie king, a group of new talents with great potential and their own characteristics, as well as an acting talent like Chen Fei. Ning Xi seemed to see a bright future for the company.

"Now our comrades have truly become a family. Come on, let's raise our glasses to celebrate." Shen Yifeng said.

"Come on, I wish us a pleasant cooperation and a prosperous new company." Ye Dansha said.

"Everyone is welcome to join our big family." Ning Xi was very happy and felt a little ambitious.

Han Dong was concentrating on peeling shrimp for Su Ran. His mission tonight was to serve his wife well. Su Ran touched him with her elbow, and Han Dong raised his glass to show his respect.

"Captain Han, when will you and Su Ran hold your wedding?" Liu Yayi asked playfully.

Han Dong turned to Su Ran, smiling: "You have to ask Su Ran."

The wedding must be held, it depends on when Su Ran wants to hold it.

There was a hint of bitterness in Su Ran's smile: "I want to wait for my mother to wake up."

This is the most important moment in her life, and she wants her mother to witness it.

Han Dong nodded and held Su Ran's hand: "Mom will be fine."

Ning Xi also comforted her: "Auntie will definitely be fine."

"Well, no matter how others invite us, all members of our comrades-in-arms group must be present, and no one is allowed to be absent." Su Ran smiled brightly.

"That's a must. Anyone who doesn't participate will be expelled from the comrades' group." Deng Zian said with a smile.

As he was speaking, Su Ran's cell phone rang. Han Dong glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Gu Yunchen calling.

Su Ran answered the call.

"Su Ran, is it convenient for you to come to the hospital? Grandpa... is in the hospital, and he keeps calling your name."

Su Ran was embarrassed, and Han Dong took over the phone: "Which hospital? Okay, Su Ran and I will come over now.
