Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai's surprised expression and said with a sweet smile.
"Why are you all here?"
After everyone came in and sat down, Chen Mubai asked.
After a few people came in, they took off their heavy down jackets and coats.
The air conditioning is on in the house, and the heating is full, unlike the freezing cold outside.
"I'll celebrate the New Year with you!" Lu Fang said with a smile.
"We also specially prepared some vegetables. We're afraid you won't have enough for everyone here, so we're celebrating the New Year at your place today!" Ji Qin said with a smile.
It's New Year's Eve and all the shops outside are closed. If you don't bring some vegetables, you really can't buy them.
Chen Mubai is at home alone, so naturally he won't prepare so many portions.
Then they are in vain and can only go out to eat.
However, even if you go out to eat, you have to make a reservation in advance. You may not always get a seat if you make a reservation on the spot.
Originally, I just wanted to spend the New Year with Chen Mubai, so naturally I had to have an atmosphere at home. I went to a restaurant just to have a meal, but on the contrary, I lost the warm atmosphere at home.
"I'm curious, why did you come here together?"
Tao Yaoyao and Qian Duoduo are locals, and Lin Xue is not far away from the devil, so it makes sense that they can catch up.
Li Feng and Lu Fang are from other provinces, how can they get together!
Lu Fang answered his question: "We made an appointment in advance to come to your house to celebrate the New Year this year and give you a surprise."
"I knew you wouldn't agree, so we didn't tell you. After all, this is the second year of our business. It's time to spend a good New Year with you. How lonely it is to be alone during the New Year!"
"Yes, we have contacted each other in private. It's not easy to hide it from you, haha." Li Feng smiled and nodded.
"Lu Fang and I went back yesterday to have New Year's Eve dinner with our family in advance. We rushed here early this morning. Didn't we find him just after we arrived in the magic city?"
Tao Yaoyao said with a smile: "I had dinner with dad in advance at noon, and then rushed over~"
The same is true for Qian Duoduo and Lin Xue. Their homes are close to each other, so they didn't have New Year's Eve dinner in advance like Lu Fang and the others. Instead, they ate earlier today and came over right after eating.
A few of them made an appointment in advance, got together, and then came over together.
"Thank you!" Chen Mubai said movedly.
He was really touched and everyone came to celebrate the New Year with him.
In this festival where thousands of homes are lit with lights, everyone celebrates the New Year with their loved ones. Although he verbally rejected everyone's request to accompany him to celebrate the New Year, deep down he still hoped for it.
But he knew that if they celebrated the New Year with him, they wouldn't be able to spend time with their families, so he refused.
Don't let yourself prevent them from spending a wonderful holiday with their families.
When everyone showed up in front of his house, his heart was really filled with joy!
"Haha, we have nothing." Ji Qin looked at Tao Yaoyao and said, "You should care about her. Yaoyao ran away today. How will her father teach her when she returns?"
"Ho ho..." Everyone was laughing.
"This affection is not light!"
Chen Mubai has not yet been recognized by Tao Qingchao. Although he has not stopped the two from interacting in private, today is still a special day.
Especially Tao Qingchao only has a daughter, Tao Yaoyao, and for so many years, they have celebrated the New Year together.
As a result, his little cotton-padded jacket ran away this year, and Tao Qingchao was probably very depressed at home.
Tao Yaoyao went to Chen Mubai's place privately to celebrate the New Year, fearing that she would be criticized when she returned.
"No~" Tao Yaoyao said shyly with a blush on her pure and beautiful face.
She didn't know whether she would be blamed by her father.
But now that I've escaped, I don't care about this anymore.
Moreover, Tao Qingchao must have known what she was doing when she ran out on the New Year's Day. Since he didn't stop her, it meant that he acquiesced to her behavior.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she was keenly aware of this thought. When she went out, Tao Qingchao didn't say much.
Chen Mubai walked up to the shy Tao Yaoyao who was being crowded around, took her hand, and said softly: "Thank you..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Yaoyao interrupted him and said, "I promised you last year that I would celebrate the New Year with you this year, and I did it!"
Tao Yaoyao raised her head slightly, looking at Chen Mubai with a tender and arrogant face, the deep love in her beautiful eyes could melt people.
"Hey, it's so sour~" Ji Qin deliberately crossed her arms and said with a smile.
"You two should also take care of the lonely old man, Lu Fang is alone!"
"That's right, you really need to take care of the singles' mood." Li Feng said.
Among their group, Qian Duoduo and Lin Xue are also lovers, and indeed only Lu Fang is single.
Before Lu Fang could speak, Chen Mubai said with a smile: "He will probably no longer be single soon."
"How do you say it?" everyone asked curiously.
Lu Fang has always been like a veteran cadre with no news. Chen Mubai suddenly said this, which aroused everyone's interest.
Lu Fang was a little embarrassed by Chen Mubai's sudden words, and his always steady face also changed.
"There's a problem!" Everyone saw Lu Fang's reaction and knew that Chen Mubai was right.
"Continue." Everyone looked at Lu Fang with a smile and asked Chen Mubai to continue.
"How about you say it yourself?" Chen Mubai also looked at Lu Fang funny.
Lu Fang had a rare expression of embarrassment. He was a little embarrassed and said: "Forget it, I'm not sure yet..."
"Don't, it's so uncomfortable to say half of this!" Qian Duoduo said excitedly: "Brother Bai, tell me."
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Mubai again. Chen Mubai looked at Lu Fang and said, "Brother Lu, I will tell you for you!"
"I also discovered it accidentally. Brother Lu and Shang Ran seem to be interesting..."
Chen Mubai recounted what he saw and heard that day to everyone, and they listened to it with gossipy expressions on their faces.
"I've never noticed it in the company!" Li Feng looked at Lu Fang in surprise.
Lu Fang felt even more embarrassed by his gaze, and explained: "There is nothing between us..."
"It's just that it's nothing now, but you won't be sure in the future, right?" Qian Duodu teased with a wink.
Lin Xue smiled and said: "That's true."
"When I was filming on the set, I noticed that Shang Ran was sometimes very happy, smiling a lot, asking her what was wrong, and not saying anything. Looking back now, when she was happy, it was always Mr. Lu who came to inspect the set.
when."
Lin Xue's words undoubtedly heightened the interest in this matter, and everyone looked at Lu Fang with smiles.
Lu Fang is interested in Shang Ran, but everyone doesn't know Shang Ran's attitude towards Lu Fang.
After all, although Shang Ran is a contracted artist of the company, we don't have much contact with her. However, everyone has a very good impression of Shang Ran. She is well-educated and reasonable. She is not a person who is keen on intrigues and has a kind heart.
Lin Xue's words were like finalizing the matter. Both parties were interested in the relationship between the man and the concubine.
It's only a matter of time before we get together. Maybe the two parties haven't reached that stage yet and they have a good impression of each other, otherwise they wouldn't have this attitude.
"Very good, come on!" Ji Qin looked at Lu Fang and said.
"Come on!" The others cheered for Lu Fang, and everyone said it sincerely.
Lu Fang is the only one among the three couples who is alone. If he can reap his own happiness, everyone will be sincerely happy for him.
He had never liked anyone before, but now that such a person has appeared, and everyone knows a little about his character and is good in all aspects, they naturally support Lu Fang in pursuing his own happiness.
"Take your time." Lu Fang accepted everyone's kindness, but was still a little embarrassed.
"Haha..." Everyone looked at Lu Fang's appearance and couldn't help laughing together.
Lu Fang is good at everything, but he is too mature and steady, a bit like a middle-aged man and not like a young man.
In terms of emotional development, he is still the same.
But this is not a bad thing, it is better to be emotionally mature.
Everyone was chatting and the atmosphere became heated.
"I'm going to cook, you guys chat!" Ji Qin said.
"Let me do it. Come to my house today and I'll show you my skills." Chen Mubai stood up and said hurriedly.
"No, we three girls are here, just wait." Lin Xue said with a smile.
"That's it, you don't need to help when you sit down. There is only so much room in the kitchen, and there is no room for more people."
Tao Yaoyao got up and went to the kitchen with Ji Qin and Lin Xue, stopping several men who were eager to try.
Tao Yaoyao had said before she came that she wanted to learn cooking from Ji Qin. The time she and Chen Mubai cooked made her realize that her cooking skills needed to improve. She also practiced in private, but she still lacked a master to teach her.
Ji Qin played this role very well.
Although Qin Qiu has been with her all the time, Qin Qiu doesn't cook very often, and his skills are relatively not very good...
Tao Yaoyao abandoned this master and found a "powerful" master.
This was when everyone was chatting, Chen Mubai accidentally revealed that Ji Qin's cooking was delicious, and Tao Yaoyao remembered it.
"The company has developed very quickly this year, and we have also received a lot of resources."
After the three girls left, the four boys sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
"What are your plans for next year?" Lu Fang looked at Chen Mubai and asked.
"Let's finish filming this TV series first. My album has also been released. I want to make a movie by then."
"Movie!?" Qian Duoduo looked at Chen Mubai in surprise, he didn't know about this.
Chen Mubai has only revealed the news to a few people such as Tao Yaoyao and Lu Fang. Qian Duoduo has been filming outside, so naturally he would not know.
"Yeah." Chen Mubai nodded.
"Isn't it too fast, and you don't want to rest?" Li Feng asked.
Chen Mubai didn't take much rest during this period. He thought that Chen Mubai would continue to rest for a while after the New Year and didn't go to work so soon. He didn't expect that he would go to film a movie so soon.
"It's almost time to rest. I'm tired after taking too long a rest." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
"But the film and television industries are different, so we have nothing to do with each other..." Qian Duoduo was worried.
He himself graduated from Communication University, and he knows more about the film and television industry and knows that the water is deep.
After a TV series is produced, even if it is squeezed out by capital, they can still find a TV station to buy it. This is official and will not be influenced by capital.
But movies are different. On the one hand, it can be officially approved, but on the other hand, it needs to be released and promoted.
This is not the official decision. Many channels and resources are in the hands of capital, and they will be severely restricted. They are not as easy to break through as TV dramas.
"Don't worry, I know it. The investment in this movie is not big and I can shoot it alone."
Afterwards, Chen Mubai briefly talked to them about the filming plan and content of the movie.
