House Dad's Literary Life-Chapter 321: The Resentment of Big Boss Lan

Although Christmas was a foreign holiday, for office workers who wanted to take a day off no matter what holiday it was, 365 days a year, this kind of day should also be a “reasonable” holiday!

However, there was no such thing as a Christmas holiday in the previous life, and there was no such holiday as Christmas in this world.

Apart from Yang Yi, this good Chinese boss who generously gave Ding Xiang and Yang Huan, the two young ladies, a day off and even gave them activity funds to play, others who were supposed to work still went to work, and the children who needed to go to kindergarten still went to kindergarten.

Yang Yi sent Xixi to kindergarten and happened to meet Big Boss Lan who personally sent his daughter to kindergarten. Before Yang Yi could tease him, Lan Zhoukai cried out with deep resentment, “Yang Yi, you little boy, I’ve been waiting for you!”

It turned out that he came to block Yang Yi.

Boss Lan not only personally came to block Yang Yi, but he also brought his own bodyguard. Of course, this was just a joke. The bodyguard didn’t come up at all and stood indifferently by the car a few dozen meters away…

“What happened?” Yang Yi asked inexplicably, “I didn’t pit you when I asked you to invest in the Sahara Online Shop!”

This December, Sahara Online Shop has truly blossomed. The announcement of their self-built delivery service and plans, along with the nationwide launch of the New Year’s Shopping Carnival through a television advertisement just yesterday, has made it the most talked-about internet company at the moment.

Under such high popularity, the daily sales volume of Sahara Online Shop was also increasing day by day.

Before the announcement of the New Year’s Day Shopping Carnival, the overall valuation of Sahara Online Shop had already exceeded 600 million. After the announcement of this shopping carnival, the market value of Sahara rose uncontrollably again!

It could be said that Lan Zhoukai’s participation in the first round of financing, even if it hasn’t generated returns yet, there was no need to worry about losing money. With this momentum going on, Lan Zhoukai only needed to worry about whether he has a share in the second round of financing!

However, Lan Zhoukai blocked him today not to talk about business issues. He gritted his teeth and said, “You didn’t pit me, but your daughter pitted1me!”

In the resentful description of Lan Zhoukai, Yang Yi finally understood the process of the incident.

It turned out that yesterday Xixi told Lan Xin about Santa Claus and Lan Xin really believed it. When she got home, she picked and picked her longest pair of socks and hung them up.

Yes, originally only one sock was needed to be hung up, but Lan Xin was a little greedy. She hoped that Santa Claus would give her two gifts. So, two socks were hung at the head of the bed.

Lan Xin never mentioned this matter to her parents. She was afraid that if her parents found out, they would chase away her Santa Claus.

The little girl was still very devout. According to Yang Luoqi’s explanation, before waiting for Santa Claus to give her gifts, she still had to make a wish so that Santa Claus would know what gifts she wanted. So, Lan Xin also drew what she wanted on two small notes…

It could be said that she was extremely attentive and sincere. With such sincerity, even Buddha would be moved, right? But the non-existent Santa Claus was clearly not moved. Early in the morning, Lan Xin, still groggy from sleep, thought about Santa Claus and quickly pulled open the socks to take a look.

The result…empty.

The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Lan Xin immediately cried bitterly, and with her voice, the whole villa was about to be overturned.

“It’s all because of you, telling your daughter about Santa Claus.” Lan Zhoukai had spent a lot of effort early in the morning to find out the reason from his daughter, and hurriedly asked people to buy gifts, using his connection, from the closed store for Lan Xin, and finally coaxed his heartbroken daughter. How could he not be resentful towards Yang Yi?

Yang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and could only teach him a way: “You go back tonight, let someone write an apology letter. The content is probably that the Santa Claus responsible for Xin’er overslept last night and is very sorry that such a cute and obedient child did not receive the gift on time, and he will make up for it today. Then, after Xin’er falls asleep tonight, you can put the letter on her bedside, along with the gift, and when she sees it tomorrow, you can read her the letter.”

“Do you believe in such lies as Santa Claus? Why not just tell her honestly!” Lan Zhoukai felt a little unbelievable.

“It’s a good thing for children to have some beautiful imaginations. Believe me, Xin’er still prefers to believe in the existence of Santa Claus. If you tell her that Santa Claus doesn’t exist, she will even blame you.” Yang Yi said with a smile.

Lan Zhoukai left, and Yang Yi didn’t know how effective it was. However, Xixi fooled her own little friend, which also became an interesting little episode of this sweet and happy Christmas.

……

Time flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the last day of the year.

On this day, Tianmei held a grand press conference, announcing the cover and song titles of Mo Fei’s latest album “The Initial Dream” and also announcing that Mo Fei’s new album would be released on New Year’s Day.

There were many media present, as this album had been hyped up by water armies even before its release, sparking significant controversy. Therefore, media reporters also asked Mo Fei about this issue.

If it were before, Mo Fei might still be a bit overwhelmed by the repeated bombardment of these media, and might even get angry because of their contempt of “Mu Li’ang” when they asked questions.

But after experiencing that night on Christmas Eve, Mo Fei seemed to have become enlightened2and her mentality improved.

She learned to calmly face others’ doubts and began to understand how to treat her gains and losses on her musical journey correctly: even if others scolded her more fiercely, what does it matter? Wasn’t she still making her own music? Even if her album doesn’t meet the platinum standard, what does it matter? As long as someone likes her music and is willing to come to her concert and cheer for her singing, that’s enough!

Everything was because Yang Yi stood behind her, supporting her. With Yang Yi, she didn’t have to care about others’ criticisms.

So even if a media outlet came forward and asked in a very affirmative tone, “Mo Fei, there are many voices questioning you on the Internet now, and some people say that you are trying to hype yourself through self-deprecating means. May I ask your opinion on this matter?”

Mo Fei could also calmly respond, “It’s just a rumor on the Internet. Please wait until everyone has listened to my album and then look back at those voices that once questioned me!”

“Mo Fei, I’m a signed self-media influencer from Weibo, going by the name ‘Water Spinach’.” A reporter with a question introduced himself in a rather unique manner, successfully attracting everyone’s attention. “There are rumors on the Internet that you have a close relationship with Mu Li’ang, which is why there have been reports of you arguing with reporters because of Mu Li’ang’s news before. How do you respond to this matter?”

Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, feeling a little annoyed at Yang Yi in her heart. He didn’t told her before that he was Mu Li’ang, and as a result, she had already clarified her relationship with Mu Li’ang on “Music Fast Fast Fast”. Now, no matter how she responded, it would create issues!

Now was not the time to announce their relationship. Mo Fei hesitated for a moment and could only vaguely say, “Mr. Mu Li’ang is very kind, and our relationship in reality is also very good. Moreover, he has written so many songs for me. Now he is suffering from the violence of public opinion. I have to defend him against others’ slander to reporters…”

After the press conference, Mo Fei found Mo Xiaojuan and urged her to quickly take her home.

“Sister, you’re going to Beijing tomorrow for the music charts. Don’t you want to rest well?” Mo Xiaojuan was very distressed.

“It’s okay. I’ll take the earliest flight tomorrow morning and I can still make it.” Mo Fei smiled wearily. “But tonight is Xixi’s first performance, I can’t be absent, I’ve already promised her!”
