"We invite champion mentor Li Youqing to come on stage and deliver a winning speech with the champion students!"
"My student is great, I didn't delay her, and thank you everyone for your support!"
"My mentor may not be the strongest, but she is the most suitable. Without her, I might not have won this championship. Thank you everyone for your support, and thank you to my mentor!"
"Tonight, let us cheer for the champion students of The Voice together!"
"..."
That night, Jiang Bei didn't know how he got home. All that echoed in his mind was the scene of Li Youqing and Xiao Yu'er standing on the stage to give their acceptance speeches, and the business exchanges between them.
It hurt his heart.
The phone kept vibrating, and Li Shusheng was typing in text messages frantically, but he was not in the mood to pay attention.
Even when Li Youqing gave him a big hug, he didn't have any evil intentions and forced a smile to avoid being discovered.
This time, he finally lost again.
The loss was inexplicable.
I am extremely unwilling to lose.
"Why did Xiaoyuer win the championship in the end?"
It wasn't until a long time later that Jiang Bei calmed down and stood by the window, looking at the moon in the sky, and asked in a deep voice on his mobile phone.
"Boss, originally everything was fine, but in the end the mistake was that hostess Han Yingmei took the initiative and changed the votes!"
"She was bribed?"
"Her explanation was that she discovered that someone had changed the votes and thought there was some shady secret. The situation was urgent and she didn't have time to ask the director, so she made the announcement on her own initiative."
"Can the champion be changed back? Is it because the host made a mistake or something shady?"
"Uh... boss, there is something I haven't told you yet."
"Um?"
"Just now Tian Yun lost control and went crazy and beat his assistant backstage. We learned from the assistant that Tian Yun had asked her to bribe Sun Kai's former assistant to expose Sun Kai's video, asked people from the public to injure Yu Xiaokun, and hired someone to tamper with the votes at the last minute...
…Now, he has been taken away by the police.”
After hearing this, Jiang Bei looked up at the sky and fell into a long silence.
He finally knew who he lost to.
Human greed.
"boss?"
"Boss...are you still there?"
…
The next day.
The most solemn traditional festival in China, ‘New Year’s Eve’, is coming.
Early in the morning, the house gets busy.
Li Youqing put on her makeup and ordered: "Liangliang, go get your brother up. We have to go there early today to help."
"oh."
The gambling king stood behind Li Youqing with an eyebrow pencil and learned how to draw eyebrows. After hearing this, he obediently walked to the door of Jiangbei's room and knocked three times: "Brother, are you up? My sister-in-law asked you to get up quickly, we have to leave.
Went to aunt's house."
There was no answer, but there was some movement in the room. Liangliang opened the door and found her brother rummaging through the cabinets to find something.
"Brother, what are you looking for?" Liangliang walked in with an eyebrow pencil and asked curiously.
"Didn't you give me a bronze bowl from the Qing Emperor's period when we first met? I wanted to give it to my father-in-law, but I just don't know where to put it." Jiang Bei frowned, rummaged through the room, and walked out again.
The room heads towards the study.
Father-in-law Li Qiangguo has three major hobbies: painting, drinking tea, and antiques.
Sending tea this time probably won't be of much use, but sending antiques may help you avoid disaster.
"Hanhan, what are you looking for so early in the morning?" Li Youqing, who was putting on makeup, seemed to vaguely hear the noise and shouted.
"Looking for the antique Liangliang gave me." He replied, and Jiangbei found this bronze bowl from the Qing Emperor period on the bookshelf.
Liangliang followed quietly, looking at the bronze bowl in her brother's hand, biting her lips and hesitated, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
Jiang Bei didn't pay attention to her expression. Instead, he played with the bronze bowl and said in a slightly helpless tone: "Liangliang, the plan failed again."
"I told you it's not my problem, but you just don't believe me." Speaking of this, Liangliang instantly forgot about the bronze bowl and said angrily: "If I, the gambling king of Ancheng, had to help with this matter, the plan would definitely not work.
It will fail!”
"I wrongly blamed you." Jiang Bei touched Liang Liang's head and said apologetically.
"It's okay, brother, that movie hasn't been released yet, we still have a chance, don't be discouraged!" Liangliang grabbed his hand and consoled him.
"Opportunity? I hope."
After another failure, he really almost lost confidence.
I even had a vague feeling that there might be something wrong with the movie "Blue Fortress" that was being produced. Maybe after it was released, another wave of "Assisted Wife" would take off.
Thinking about the decades he dominated the entertainment industry in his previous life, what kind of water has he not overcome? What kind of situation has he not overcome?
Not to mention being victorious in every battle, at least he was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai with his own ability and courage.
As a result, when he traveled to the Blue Star, it was just a small matter like pulling his wife out of the entertainment industry. He had planned it for nearly a year but failed to succeed. On the contrary, he began to doubt his life.
What is this thing called?
Those who don’t know better think that traveling through time has damaged their brains.
"Brother!" Liangliang encouraged with a serious face: "Don't give up on our mission just because we encounter a small setback!"
"What are you two brothers and sisters talking about? Take the time to set off." Li Youqing suddenly appeared at the door of the study and asked doubtfully.
"Huh? Brother, why are your eyebrows different on both sides? Let me trace them for you."
"Maybe it's because I've been frowning a lot lately."
…
Wutongshan Villa Area, Li Qiang Country.
Jiangbei parked the car on the path outside the villa, and his mother-in-law Wen Cui'e stood at the door of the yard to greet him personally.
"Happy New Year, aunt!" Liang Liang happily ran to Wen Cui'e and shouted sweetly.
"Ouch! We haven't seen each other for a few months, and Liangliang girl seems to have grown taller again." Wen Cui'e held Liangliang's hands, her face full of kindness.
"My brother and sister-in-law have taken good care of me. My aunt's skin seems to be much whiter."
"Thanks to that skin care product of yours, girl, it's so easy to use."
The mother-in-law and Liang Liang were chatting happily, while the couple from Jiangbei walked to the trunk to get gifts. Li Youqing glanced at the harmonious scene there, pouted and said: "Sure enough, a married daughter is just like water thrown out. I feel like my mother is now
He doesn’t care about me at all.”
Jiangbei was busy picking up things and didn't answer.
When Li Youqing saw that he was ignoring him, she immediately became even more unhappy. She wanted to get close to him and bite him, but she didn't expect that Jiang Bei just finished taking the things and turned around, and the two of them kissed each other face to face.
"Auntie, there's too much dog food outside, or we should go in first." Liangliang pulled Wen Cui'e and stood at the door and teased.
After hearing this, Li Youqing came to his senses and quickly took a step back, but he didn't have any big reaction. He just glared at him with beautiful eyes and turned around and walked towards Wen Cui'e.
"Mom, where is my dad?"
"Your dad is lying on the sofa. This old man has been giving me bad looks since last night. It's so annoying during the Chinese New Year."
Jiang Bei, who was recalling 'the charm of that kiss', immediately came back to his senses when he heard this, and felt a chill in his heart.
It seems that my father-in-law is really angry this time.
I don’t know if I can get out of Wutong Mountain today.
well.
It's really difficult for him.
He shook his head and followed him into the house.
In the huge living room, father-in-law Li Qiangguo was sitting on the sofa watching TV with an expressionless expression.
What a coincidence that what was playing on the TV was the video of last night's "The Voice of China" finals.
On the coffee table, there is a pile of newspapers arranged deliberately.
Why do you say deliberate? That's because the title of every newspaper is clearly visible.
[On the peak night, The Voice of China comes to an end.]
[Unprofessional champion tutor, Li Youqing!]
["The Voice of China" ended last night, and the ratings exceeded 5, the highest in ten years!]
[Good Voice Champion Xiao Yuer!]
The dazzling newspapers made Jiangbei's eyelids twitch. Today's New Year's Eve dinner is not delicious...
"Dad, my son is here to wish you happy new year."
Unfortunately, my father-in-law ignored me and watched TV with a sullen expression.
"Happy New Year, uncle." Liangliang also shouted from the side. His well-behaved appearance made Li Qiangguo smile on his calm face. He took the little girl's hand to greet her with a kind look.
"How did you mess with dad?" Li Youqing was helping to unload the goods. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe it's because you think you haven't heard anything about your stomach yet, so you have a problem with me."
He definitely couldn't tell the truth, so he just found a reason to throw it at Li Youqing.
These words made Li Youqing a little embarrassed, but he rarely quarreled with him. Instead, he picked up the liquor he just bought on the road and shook it, his eyes full of teasing.
provocative!
A real provocation.
Why are you so proud? Sooner or later I will eat you!
The shocked Jiang Bei glared at Li Youqing, lowered his head and continued working.
Liangliang's communication skills are still very strong. In a short time, she made Li Qiangguo laugh heartily, temporarily forgetting her inner dissatisfaction, and the family gradually had a New Year atmosphere.
"Come on, Liangliang. This is the New Year's red envelope from your uncle and aunt."
Liangliang, who came to Li Qiang's country for the New Year for the first time, received full love from the old couple.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you auntie." Gambling king Zhang Jiuliang held two big red envelopes and narrowed his eyes into crescent moons.
Judging from the feel, the amount of the red envelope is indeed quite large...
"Brother, here you go."
Jiang Bei was sitting at the dining table picking vegetables with Li Youqing, when Liang Liang quietly came over to give him a red envelope.
"Silly girl, you don't have to hand in the red envelopes you received today." After saying that, Jiang Bei took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over: "Besides, these are the red envelopes your sister-in-law and I prepared for you, girl, Happy New Year."
"Who asked you to prepare it?" Li Youqing said angrily. He picked up a rag and wiped his hands. He also took out a big red envelope from his bag: "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."
