Chapter 327: And There's Uncle!
Chapter 327: And There's Uncle!
The news of Liyuan Farm's invitation to celebrities had naturally spread to all the employees.
Lin Muxue, Lin Mengyao, and Liu Qian began their preparations for the event.
Since the annual gala was going to be such a grand affair, every aspect had to be meticulously planned to ensure nothing went wrong.
The county had already pledged to dispatch traffic police and on-duty officers to guarantee security.
But the farm also needed to arrange security guards to maintain order.
There was a lot to be done.
After the gala, there would typically be a New Year's Feast, and most companies would book banquet halls in hotels or restaurants for the occasion.
However, Liyuan Farm was different. They could prepare the New Year's Feast for their employees directly in the restaurant, and then distribute red envelopes.
As for the restaurant, it would be arranged for the performing celebrities, influencers, county leaders, and the management of the Five-Color Triangle Melon and Soybean Cultivation Project Company to dine.
Everything had to be arranged perfectly to avoid any embarrassing mishaps.
Moreover, the chef's culinary skills would undoubtedly satisfy the celebrities and influencers.
This would leave a great impression on them.
If this first annual gala was a success, then next year, they might not even need to invite celebrities proactively; the stars might willingly come to their farm to participate in the gala.
"We'll also need two hosts," Lin Mengyao suddenly frowned and said. "We haven't invited any celebrities or influencers for this role."
After all, with celebrities and influencers performing, it wouldn't be appropriate to just find anyone to host, right? Liu Qian suggested, "Actually, it's quite simple. We can have Lin Jie and Yao Yao as hosts, and we can invite two hosts from Youcheng Television Station to assist them. That way, it'll be fine, and Yao Yao and Lin Jie are influencers, so it won't be a loss of face."
"Okay, let's do that," Lin Muxue nodded.
In truth, she wasn't keen on being in the spotlight.
If she wanted, she could easily create a private account and become an influencer herself, earning twice the money.
But she hadn't done that.
Like Fu Yao, she had a clear understanding of the influencer industry and didn't share the mindset of some older women in their fifties and sixties who still dreamed of making money through Douyin.
But now, she had no choice but to compromise and take the stage as a host.
After the meeting, she called Fu Yao directly. It was likely that Fu Yao had finished school by then.
Indeed, it was already past 11:00, and Fu Yao was heading out of the school gates, planning to go home and cook something to eat.
She preferred cooking at home rather than eating out.
As soon as she stepped out of the school gates, she received a call from Lin Muxue, which she answered promptly, "Mengyao, what's up?"
Lin Muxue smiled and said, "You know about the farm's annual gala during the New Year, right?"
Fu Yao nodded, "Yes, I'm aware of it. Our classmates are all discussing it, wanting to see the celebrities, and they're even asking me if I have tickets for the gala!"
Lin Muxue said, "I'll give you some tickets. You can invite your family to attend, but the farm has a request for you. You'll need to be a host with me during the gala; otherwise, there won't be anyone to host, and Uncle's gala will be a mess."
In truth, Fu Yao wasn't keen on this either. She was fine with making videos, but being a host for celebrities and influencers was something she had never done before.
However, upon hearing that Uncle's gala might be a disaster, she immediately agreed, "Okay!"
"Are you going on vacation soon?" Lin Muxue asked.
"Yes," Fu Yao replied.
"Then study hard these days and come to the farm for rehearsals after your exams!" Lin Muxue said with a smile.
Fu Yao agreed, but she immediately thought of something else. By hosting the gala at the farm during the New Year, she wouldn't be able to have the New Year's Feast with her family.
So, she needed to discuss this with her family.
As soon as she got home, she sent a message to her mother's group chat, "Mom, if you want me to spend the New Year with you in Ming City, I probably won't be able to this year. I'll be going to the farm to host the gala."
As soon as she sent this message, her sister, Lin Xing, replied, "Yao Yao, can I come with you? The farm has invited so many celebrities, and I really want to see them!"
Before Fu Yao could respond, her mother had already spoken up in the group, "Lin Xing, what are you doing? Do you want me to spend the New Year alone? Come to Ming City and spend it with me."
"Oh," Lin Xing replied with a hint of helplessness. In her mind, she was already planning to sneak back home.
But before she could act on her plan, her mother sent another message, "If you sneak back, and I don't see you during the New Year's Feast, don't expect me to give you a single cent next year."
"..." Lin Xing felt a sense of despair. In a place like Magic City, how could she survive on her current salary without her mother's support?
It seemed like she wouldn't be going to Liyuan Farm's gala after all.
Upon seeing her mother's messages, Fu Yao thought of her father, who might also be spending the New Year alone. She decided to take him to the farm for the New Year's Feast.
With this in mind, she sent a message to her father's group chat, "Dad, I want to talk to you about the New Year's Feast."
Fu Xingming immediately replied with a voice message, "Yao Yao, I also have something to tell you. Can you spend the New Year's Feast with Mom this year? Dad has... has met an... aunt, and I might not be coming back this year. But don't worry, Dad will give you a big red envelope."
"..." Fu Yao was momentarily stunned. She had been worried about her father being alone, but it turned out she was the one who would be alone.
Fortunately, she could go to the farm as a host, and she still had Uncle!
However, she understood her father's situation. After all, her mother had already found an uncle for herself, and her father had never looked for anyone due to his dedication to caring for her. He had always protected her well.
Now, with only one semester left until her high school graduation, she hoped her father could find someone to spend the rest of his life with.
After all, she would be marrying Uncle after college, and they would have their own children. The time she could spend with her father would undoubtedly decrease in the future.
This year, she might be spending the New Year at Uncle's house, and she felt a bit nervous about it!
