Chapter 36: It's New Year

Returning from the 4S store, their family of three spent the New Year in the hotel.

Chen Bicheng ordered the highest-end set meal. At 7 o'clock, the living room of the room was already filled with a full table. This was much more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner Pan Chengrong made, with ginseng, abalone, lobster, everything. But Pan Chengrong still looked very disgusted, saying that Chen Bicheng didn't know how to order dishes, engaging in such extravagance and waste, it would be better for the whole family to eat hot pot lively.

In this era, Uncle Benshan hadn't retired yet, and the Spring Festival Gala was still a necessity. After eating, the family of three stayed together to watch TV. Saying they were watching TV, but the three of them couldn't sit quietly together for five minutes.

Chen Bicheng's New Year greeting calls hadn't stopped since after six o'clock; the key was not just others greeting him, he also had to greet others. Pan Chengrong, on the other hand, started after 8 o'clock; her housewife friends, after finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, started calling each other to chat about gossip.

Relatively speaking, Chen Nuo wasn't that busy.

He first called Zhang Yi.

But the other party had already turned off the phone.

Chen Nuo suddenly remembered that during the few days when he was practicing dancing the hardest, Zhang Yi had called him once, saying that the post-production of his movie was all done, he had found a few film distributors to watch it, but the prices they gave weren't ideal, and they all suggested he go to foreign film festivals to compete.

At that time, he was exhausted every day, and after finishing this call, he threw this matter to the back of his mind.

Now that he thought about it, Zhang Yi and the others had been out for almost two weeks, and he didn't know how the situation was. This was an era without WeChat, and international long-distance call fees were sky-high; once people went abroad, it was very inconvenient to contact them. Chen Nuo could only silently wish them good luck.

After Zhang Yi, it was Li Er.

Li Er's side was quite complicated; Chen Nuo first greeted Li Er for the New Year himself, afterwards Chen Bicheng and Pan Chengrong also had to greet Teacher Li for the New Year, after that Qi Yuntian had to talk to him again, and after talking, Qi Yuntian also had to greet Chen Bicheng and Pan Chengrong for the New Year.

After a phone call, Chen Nuo's Nokia 3100 battery had only one bar of power left.

After these two most important calls were made, the rest could all be greeted by text message for the New Year. Chen Nuo changed a mobile phone battery and began to reply to the text messages one by one.

Wang Zhihan's: "Fate is like peach blossoms, wealth is like waves, life is like happy flowers, dating is like morning glory, career is like climbing vines, don't be too fickle when you have love, don't spend money recklessly when you have wealth, share some with me if you get a windfall. Happy New Year."

Chen Nuo replied: "Good things come in pairs, going out is the most glorious, you are the king in the world, surpassing Qin Shi Huang; everyone supports you, you eat meat while others drink soup, money goes straight into your pocket, Happy New Year."

Actually, Ma Yanran also sent him a text message. He didn't even click on it and deleted it directly.

Then he saw Yang Mi's.

"The Year of the Rooster is here, may your life be as red and prosperous as a rooster's comb, your career sing as high as a rooster's crow, and your love be as colorful as a rooster's tail. Happy New Year, good luck in the Year of the Rooster!"

He replied: "Happy New Year, hope we can both pass the exam." After a while, while Chen Nuo was still replying to other people's text messages, Yang Mi called.

"Happy New Year, have you returned to Beijing?"

"Happy New Year. Returned. How about you?"

"I'm a Beijing native, I'm wrapping dumplings at home. Seeing that you are so sincere, writing me a text message personally, I'll give you a call. How are you preparing?"

"What preparation are you talking about?"

"The exam, of course."

"Oh oh, almost prepared, how about you?" Chen Nuo felt ashamed. He prepared a hair; after graduating from the training class, he had been dancing and filming for this month.

"I don't know, I feel now that everything depends on God's will. Although they are recruiting 30 people this year, I heard that there are many more people signing up than before, and the competition is even more intense. So we are also competitors."

"How can I compete with you, you are so beautiful, you must have PK'd me down."

"There are too many beauties, what am I, I've been suffering from insomnia these past few days, washing my hair, hair falling out in clumps, I'm scared to death. Tell me about you, going to Shanghai to film with big stars and big directors, what's the feeling? Did you see Jin Chengwu, Zhang Xueyou?"

"Saw them, no feeling, all quite normal."

Yang Mi sighed gloomily, "When can I have this day too. When others ask me, Yang Mi, how is it filming with Jin Chengwu and Zhang Xueyou? I'll say nothing, everyone is quite normal."

Chen Nuo smiled: "I think it's more likely that one day in the future someone will ask me, Chen Nuo, how does it feel to live in a rented house with Yang Mi? I'll say nothing, she's quite normal."

"Hahahahaha, borrow your auspicious words."

After chatting with Yang Mi on the phone, Chen Nuo thought about it and found that there was actually one more person. But forget it, after all, people said they forgot, so he shouldn't disturb them.

But when Chen Nuo finished the vigil and went to bed at 1 o'clock to sleep, the phone beeped.

Chen Nuo opened the text message and saw it was actually Xia Yehe, the content of the text message was just three words: "Happy New Year."

Heh, still quite cold. Then I'll be colder than you, he replied with two words: "youtoo."
