Chapter 1060: Seclusion from the World
Although it was only around seven o'clock in the evening and many people had just returned home, the sky was already as dark as ink. The street lights lit up in the cold wind, stretching the shadows of pedestrians very long. The branches of dead trees on the street stretched out in the night, as if trying to catch the last ray of sunlight, but only touched the cold air.
The tall buildings in the distance are brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the deep blue and nearly black sky. The traffic with red taillights crosses the road like a string of moving fireflies.
Many houses in the luxury residential area of Baguo Village lit up their warm yellow lights early in the morning, and the white breath exhaled by passers-by outside the houses dissipated in the thick winter night.
A single-family villa in the Xiyuan community of Wancheng Huafu is brightly lit. Many people can be seen walking back and forth, and the laughter and play of men and women can be heard in the corridor outside the door.
In this freezing season, singing and laughter are the most effective weapons against the cold.
"Xiao Liu's arrangement is very reasonable. Just follow Xiao Liu's plan." Old Xie nodded in approval.
"Since you all don't care, then we won't be on the Spring Festival Gala this year." Deep down, ever since his wife became pregnant, Xia Haoyang didn't want Jingyi to sing and dance on the Spring Festival Gala stage anymore.
"Then should we announce Jingyi's pregnancy to the public?" asked agent Xiao Liu.
"There's no need to make it public. We just need to tell the Spring Festival Gala program team that Jingyi is pregnant. Tara won't be participating in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals this year. If it really doesn't work, let Fatty's relative from the Ministry of Culture go and say hello. As long as we don't offend the Spring Festival Gala program team, the fans won't care." Juzi replied.
"But Tara didn't appear on the Spring Festival Gala this year. Will it arouse fans' curiosity and lead to all kinds of gossip?" Xiao Liu asked again.
"Why are there so many gossips? In the eyes of the audience, the status of the four members of Tara is at best pop idol singers, not veteran artists. Who can guarantee that they will be invited to the Spring Festival Gala every year? A crosstalk actor like Yunpeng, who is very popular with the audience, cannot appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage every year. People will not say anything about this. Even if some black fans make a few sarcastic remarks on the Internet, it is not a big problem and you don't need to take it too seriously." Zhao Yishen explained.
"I think Shen Zi is right. For a pop singer to participate in a stage like the Spring Festival Gala once or twice, fans are already satisfied and don't expect to participate every year. They generally don't care about it." Xia Haoyang agreed with Zhao Yishen's statement.
"Even if we don't make it public, Tara members participated in various activities in the two months before and after the Spring Festival in an individual manner, and Jingyi didn't show up for a long time, so fans would definitely notice something." Xiao Liu said.
"Didn't you just arrange for Jingyi to attend this year's alma mater celebration? That's good, it means she's showing up. And even if fans find out something, it won't matter. After all, Jingyi is Fatty's publicly married wife."
"Yes, it doesn't matter if Jingyi's pregnancy is discovered by fans. But as a female star, she cares about the figure she shows to the public. It would be best for her to appear in public after her figure recovers. Anyway, there is no need to make it public now. We can wait until she is discovered." Lao Xie also agreed with this approach.
Xiao Liu thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, can Jingyi and I go back to Vancouver earlier this year to celebrate the New Year?" Xia Haoyang turned his head and looked at everyone.
Originally, he wanted to scold the fat guy. What kind of boss in the entertainment industry would only think about going home early for the New Year and not care about the company's business? But when he saw Zeng Jingyi's belly becoming more and more obvious, and thought of the hundreds of original songs and dozens of film and television works that Xia Haoyang had created this year, he couldn't say the words out loud.
Zhao Yishen could only sigh and said, "You and Jingyi can return to Vancouver earlier this year, and accompany Jingyi to take good care of the pregnancy. You don't have to worry about anything. Lao Xie and Tianci are watching over the company, and Xiao Yuzi and I will keep an eye on the school. We will ensure that we can cut the ribbon smoothly next spring."
Old Xie and Zhao Yishen were in sync. Seeing that Shenzi originally wanted to scold Fatty, but his words were so "weak", he immediately thought of the reason. Moreover, Old Xie's eyes swept across Zeng Jingyi's belly, and his eyes also became very gentle, so he cooperated and said, "Yes, you haven't been able to spend a good New Year with your family in the past few years. This year is a rare opportunity. Accompany Jingyi back to Vancouver to rest the baby. After all, the climate in the south is warmer. Don't worry about the company. We will call you if there is anything. We will not sell the company."
In the past, the person who liked to scold Xia Haoyang the most in the company was Juzi. Usually, in administrative arrangements, Juzi would oppose almost any decision made by Fatty, but today he had no intention of scolding Xia Haoyang at all.
But Juzi suddenly seemed to remember something: "Fatty, when are you going to hold your wedding with Jingyi? You can't wait until you have a baby before getting married."
"Yes, yes, bad fat boss, when are you planning to hold your wedding with Jingyi? Give me an explanation quickly." Qin Jiali echoed.
"Brother, give me an explanation quickly, otherwise I will be angry with you!" Shao Minzhi also made her statement in no uncertain terms.
Xiao Mengyan was just curious about what Xia Haoyang would say.
"Wedding? When I was at home during the Chinese New Year last year, my mother already told me that it would be arranged for next year. I don't know when exactly, so let's go home and ask." Xia Haoyang was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Zeng Jingyi innocently and scratched his hair with his right hand unnaturally.
"Why must it be until next year? Not this year? You have time now, such as at the end of the month or during the Chinese New Year."
"It's definitely not possible this year, and it's too late to arrange it now. My mom seemed to say that there is a custom in Vancouver called "no conflict between happiness and joy". Since my second brother's wedding was held this year, the earliest I can do is next year. And my mom told Jingyi that the wedding would be held next year, but she wasn't pregnant at that time." Xia Haoyang answered a little aggrievedly under the strong verbal pressure from everyone.
At this point, Zeng Jingyi naturally had to stand up and express her opinion, "Yes, Mother Xia did express this opinion at my second brother and sister-in-law's wedding this year, and Mother Xia mentioned this matter again when she was chatting with me privately a few days ago, asking me if it would be appropriate to arrange the wedding in March after the New Year."
"Huh? My mother talked to you about these things? How come I didn't know?" Xia Haoyang asked stupidly.
Zeng Jingyi just glanced at Xia Haoyang without explaining.
"Fatty, if the wedding date is set, please inform our brothers. We will definitely come to Wen City to attend your wedding with Jingyi." Han Xiyu said casually.
"That's nonsense. Anyone can choose not to notify you, but you guys must. I'm counting on you guys to be my best men and block the wine for me."
Okay, that’s all. We’ve said everything that needs to be said and asked everything that needs to be asked. Soon, everyone found an excuse to go home and didn’t disturb this reclusive couple anymore.
