180: Chapter 180: Two New Protagonists for the Spring Festival Gala Special!
A lucky draw? A Spring Festival Koi? What on earth is that...
Ma Jinlun didn't think much of it and casually clicked to register.
He had traveled a long distance to get home, only to find that his home was gone. Now, he just wanted to find a place to stay as quickly as possible.
After completing the facial recognition and seeing the registration success message, Ma Jinlun looked at Zhang Xiaoya.
"Let's go, Zhang Xiaoya. Let's go into town and find a hotel. I'm exhausted..."
...
After the two young people spent two days having fun in the county town, on the afternoon of the third day, Ma Jinlun's parents finally flew back to Yan Province.
Looking at their future daughter-in-law, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, sensible, and well-behaved, Ma Jinlun's mother couldn't stop singing her praises and hurriedly took them to their new home.
Less than twenty minutes later, when Ma Jinlun and Zhang Xiaoya stepped through the door of their new home, both of them were petrified on the spot.
"You silly boy, what are you standing there for? Come on in and sit down!"
"Zhang Xiaoya, come on in, and sit on the sofa with me!"
Ma Jinlun stared blankly at this spacious apartment, which was at least 200 square meters, unable to even utter a curse word.
Wait! There was a corner staircase on the left. Damn... it was a duplex apartment...
A million thoughts raced through Ma Jinlun's mind. Is this really my house? What kind of joke is this!
At this moment, Ma Jinlun, this second-generation demolition heir who had reaped the benefits of the era, finally realized what a real surprise was!
At dinner, Ma Jinlun finally learned the price of this apartment—1.7 million!
You have to realize, this is a county-level city where the average housing price is only 2,000!
"Ma Jinlun, I kept dreaming about your great-grandmother last month!"
"Our family has had such great fortune at the end of the Year of the Dragon, all thanks to your great-grandmother's spirit."
"It's just a pity that our family's ancestral graves were moved to the public cemetery this time, and we didn't even have time to see if the incense was burning..."
"I'm telling you this to remind you," "This money is a windfall." "Easy come, easy go."
At the dinner table, Ma Jinlun's father gave him a meaningful piece of advice.
"You must remember your whole life that our family has been honest farmers digging food from the soil for generations. Even if we've become wealthy, we must remember our roots."
"Keep studying as you should, and keep doing what you need to do." "Since the world has treated us well, we must treat the world well and give back to it."
Ma Jinlun's mother took over. "You kid, don't think our family has a lot of money now. We've almost run out in the last two months!"
Because she had already confirmed with her son in private that this future daughter-in-law was practically family, Ma Jinlun's mother didn't hold back and said with a smile in front of Zhang Xiaoya.
"Buying this house cost a total of 1.7 million, and buying your dad a new big truck cost 300,000," "When we passed through Guizhou Province, we donated 1 million to Project Hope," "We also saved 500,000 in a fixed deposit for you to get married, so there isn't much left of the demolition money." "The 50,000 we sent you is your share," "Don't think about the rest!"
Ma Jinlun shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and nodded solemnly.
"I know, Dad. I know, Mom!"
"I'll pay off the 20,000 in student loans first, and I will be frugal with the rest of the money."
Zhang Xiaoya, who had been watching the whole time, was moved by this positive family atmosphere, and her eyes turned slightly red.
Having been despised by her parents since childhood for being a girl, she had never before experienced such a family education filled with deep affection!
At this moment, she suddenly had the urge to marry into the family as soon as possible.
Days passed by. It was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (in the North), the Little New Year's Eve, seven days away from New Year's Eve.
Ma Jinlun took Zhang Xiaoya to play a game of Honor League, chose his best champion, Lee Sin, and showed off what he claimed to be his self-created "Ma's Triangular Kill." As a result, he lost a three-versus-one fight, got counter-killed, and threw a massive lead.
"Zhang Xiaoya, this was an accident, it really was an accident."
Seeing that it was already 12 noon, Ma Jinlun turned off the computer and sheepishly sat down to have lunch.
Just then, he heard his phone ringing.
"Hello? ..."
"The Spring Festival Gala production team? Oh, oh, hello, hello! ..."
"What on earth? I won the lottery? ..."
"One of only two Spring Festival Koi in China?"
...
Yan Province. Lin Mo Research Center. Main Office Building. In the VIP reception hall on the second floor, a group of people were waiting quietly.
Sitting in the front were the senior leaders of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala production team. This included Director Ha Wen and three deputy directors. Also present were two famous CCTV hosts, who had already been confirmed as the two hosts for the 2013 Year of the Snake Spring Festival Gala: Li Yong and Reporter Sa Ning.
"Brother Yong, you have better connections at the station. Is it true that this big leader named Lin Mo is still very young?"
Li Yong replied in a low voice.
"Shh! ..."
"Director Ha Wen, I can't say much,"
"But you must remember this time!"
"As the director of the Spring Festival Gala, all the programs previously decided on are secondary!"
"The new program arranged by this leader is the most important one!"
"Everything must give way to the new program!"
"Do you understand?"
Li Yong's words were very forceful, and naturally, Director Ha Wen was extremely unhappy. As the director of the Spring Festival Gala, she had the power of life and death over every program; she could cut whoever she wanted, which was her rightful authority.
Previously, when this leader suddenly ordered to organize some kind of "Spring Festival Koi" across the entire internet, she was already very unhappy. Now, with only seven days left until the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, this leader was actually forcing a new program into the schedule and insisting that it take priority? This was simply outrageous!
Director Ha Wen had already made up her mind that in a moment, she must argue her case!
Ten minutes passed. The staff opened the door early, and 10 guard soldiers wearing Exoskeleton Armor filed in, taking up key positions in the reception hall.
Not long after, "Director Ha Wen, Host Li Yong, Reporter Sa Ning, I've heard so much about you!" The voice arrived before the person. A group of high-ranking generals wearing Chinese Dragon Army uniforms with stars on their shoulders strode into the reception hall.
Lin Mo led the way, his face full of smiles. Everyone in the reception hall stood up quickly.
"Hello, Leader, we are humbled, we are humbled!"
Looking at Lin Mo, who looked so young yet had three stars on his shoulders, the three of them were a bit apprehensive.
"Everyone, please sit!" After chatting for a bit, Lin Mo said with a hearty laugh, "We will start the negotiation meeting immediately."
Lin Mo sat at the head of the table, and the other dozens of high-ranking generals also took their seats.
"Director Ha Wen, you've worked hard during this time!" Hearing this, Director Ha Wen quickly replied, "Leader, this is what I should do!"
Lin Mo said with a smile, "Before the meeting, let me introduce you to the two new protagonists of this Spring Festival Gala special program." "General Yang, General Nie."
In the front row, two high-ranking generals in military uniforms stood up. Standing tall and straight, they looked at Director Ha Wen and said with a smile, "Director Ha Wen, please guide us for this Spring Festival Gala!"
The one on the left was none other than the first person in China to fly into space, a special-grade astronaut and a one-star general of the Supreme Military Region, Commander Yang Weili! The one on the right was the second person in China to fly into space, a special-grade astronaut and a one-star general of the Supreme Military Region, Deputy Commander Nie Shenghai!
(Please power up with love!)
