Days passed by.
The costume was done.
The item materialized.
The stage was completed.
The choreography was completed.
The emcee finished rehearsing.
The program was gradually perfected.
Everything was progressing smoothly in an orderly manner, and the first and second rehearsals were about to begin. This also meant that the Spring Festival Gala had entered its final countdown!
Zhang Ye was in a pretty good mood. Seeing that everyone had been busy for so many days, he decided to meet with the leaders of the organizing committee and hold a meeting to discuss the matter. In the end, it was decided that the Spring Festival Gala production team and the related staff would all take two days off to strike a balance between work and rest. After the break, they would prepare for the final sprint!
Everyone was on holiday.
Zhang Ye was naturally the same.
…
Saturday.
In the morning.
All the relatives had come to Grandma's house.
The moment Zhang Ye came, he stretched his legs and lay down on the bed, "Don't anyone snatch my bed. Aiyo, I've been so tired these past two months. I finally got to rest for two days."
Grandma's heart ached. "Look at how tired my grandson is."
Grandpa said, "It must have been especially hard, right?"
"How is it hard?" Zhang Ye corrected her, "It's darkness!"
Third Aunt said, "Mengmeng, quickly pour a cup of water for your brother."
"Alright." Third Sister left happily.
His eldest younger sister went over to massage his shoulders. "It's been hard on you, Bro."
Zhang Ye said happily, "See, my eldest and third sisters are still the most sensible."
His second sister rolled her eyes. "Brother, are you stabbing me with your words?"
Zhang Ye laughed heartily, "Oh yes, Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I don't think I'll have much time after this break. I'll be busy all the way until the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I won't be spending it at home this Lunar New Year's Eve."
His mother curled her lips and said, "What do you mean this year? Which year haven't you been home? "
Zhang Ye was speechless.
Last year, he was busy with the Beijing Spring Festival Gala.
The year before last, he was arrested by the police.
He hadn't spent Chinese New Year's Eve with his family in the past few years.
His grandma harrumphed, "Little Ye is doing big things, so how could he have the time to celebrate the new year? Do you think my grandson is as free as you are?"
His mother was speechless.
"Little Ye, are there any good acts for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"
"Uncle, this has to be kept a secret."
"Brother, tell me."
"No."
"You're still keeping secrets from us?"
"I can't tell anyone. Don't ask. When the time comes, everyone will know."
Everyone kept asking about the Spring Festival Gala. But Zhang Ye did not like to talk about this right now. This fellow had been busy with the Spring Festival Gala for the past two months. It was the Spring Festival Gala in the morning and at night, even in his dreams. Now that he heard the words "Spring Festival Gala," he would tremble all over. It wasn't easy for him to get two days of rest, so he did not want to continue competing with the Spring Festival Gala.
Not long after, the elders went to the living room to chat.
The three younger sisters were left in the room, scrolling through their WeChat Moments.
"It rose again!"
"Two thousand votes."
"Sis, you're amazing."
Zhang Ye held the back of his head as he lay down. "What are you guys doing?"
The eldest sister said embarrassedly, "They're voting for me."
His second sister glared at him. "Oh right, Brother, did you vote for my sister?"
"Invest in what?" Zhang Ye did not understand.
His eldest younger sister nearly fainted. "Didn't you see my sister's Moments? This year's' Most Beautiful Campus Belle 'competition is starting again. Hundreds of universities across the country are participating, and the competition is too fierce. Our family members all voted for my sister. After my sister posted on her Moments, even my sister-in-law voted for her. How could you not know? "
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "How would I have the time to look at my Moments? Old Wu voted too?"
His third sister rolled her eyes. "You're the only one left."
"Alright, alright, I'll vote, hur hur." Zhang Ye scrolled through his Moments and scrolled down for a long time before he found his eldest younger sister's post. When he scrolled through it, he saw that there really was a 'Most Beautiful Campus Belle' competition. It was a competition that selected the most beautiful students from various universities across the country. The publicity for it was quite popular, and many media outlets were following up on it.
He checked the rankings.
First: Ginny.
Votes: 280,000.
Second: Wang Xiaohe.
Votes: 260,000.
Third: Chen Di.
Votes: 250,000.
Starting from fourth place, the number of votes was not much, only in the tens of thousands. It was on a completely different scale from the top three. The disparity was especially great.
Zhang Ye blinked. "What's Dandan's ranking?"
His eldest younger sister coughed and said, "I'm in the 700s."
Zhang Ye laughed, "Pfft, why is it so low?"
His third sister said, "My sis has been abused like a dog."
His eldest younger sister, Cao Dan, was not an earth-shattering beauty. She really couldn't be considered that, but she was still very pretty. She had the kind of quiet beauty that made one feel very comfortable just looking at her. Zhang Ye compared her to the photos of the top three campus belle. It seemed like his younger sister was more pleasing to the eye.
Those who had more than 200,000 votes?
His younger sister only had around 2,000 votes?
Zhang Ye was still stuck in his old mindset. He asked, "Do the top few have that many relatives and friends?"
His third sister nearly fainted. "Who has more than 200,000 relatives and friends!"
Zhang Ye said, "Man, that's true."
His second sister harrumphed, "Do you think everyone is as honest as us? They're just buying votes! Someone exposed that the person in first place, Jin Ni, is from a film academy and has already been signed by an entertainment company. The company was the one who helped her buy votes all the way so that she could become the most beautiful campus belle. They spent some money to promote her to the top, but the company will be able to recoup all the money they spent now once she becomes famous. The people in second and third place are from wealthy families, so they also bought their votes. Look at the comments left behind by those who scolded them for stealing accounts to buy votes. They said that the people they hired to buy votes for them did not pay much attention to their work and that many of the votes were stolen. They used other people's accounts to vote for them without the owners knowing anything about it. This is too much! It's against the law! "
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Why is it so messy? Has anyone filed a complaint yet? "
His second sister said, "A lot of those whose accounts were hacked have filed a complaint, but it's useless."
At this moment.
There was a knock on the door.
His eldest younger sister smiled and said, "It must be Sister-in-law."
When the door opened, it was indeed Wu Zeqing.
"Zeqing, have you gotten off work?"
"I had some matters to attend to in the morning, so I had to go back. Otherwise, I would have come with Little Ye."
"Come in, come in."
After greeting the elders, Wu Zeqing went into the small room.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You're here?"
His second sister greeted, "Sister-in-law."
His eldest younger sister greeted, "Hello, Sister-in-law."
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Is the Most Beautiful School Belle Poll out yet?"
His eldest younger sister gave a sheepish smile. "The poll ends tonight, but it hasn't been decided yet."
"What place are you in?" Wu Zeqing asked.
His third younger sister came up and complained, "Sister-in-law, my sis has been abused by someone. She's not even in the top few hundred. Those people are too unscrupulous. They're all buying votes."
Wu Zeqing smiled gently. "They should have asked your brother for help."
Zhang Ye shrugged. "How many votes can those few friends of mine get?"
His third younger sister kept pushing him away. "Sister-in-law, look, my brother is too ungrateful."
Wu Zeqing laughed.
His eldest younger sister was in a good mood. She tugged at her younger sister and said, "Aiya, there's no need for that. We won't be able to get into the top few hundred anyway. It's already pretty good. We're just fooling around."
His third younger sister said, "If you get in the top few hundred, we'll be proud too!"
His second younger sister said, "That's right, that's right!"
Helpless, Zhang Ye took out his cell phone and said, "Alright then, I'll repost it. There aren't that many people on my Moments to begin with. A lot of them are still busy with the Spring Festival Gala, so how could they have the time to vote?"
No. 029121 is my younger sister. Everyone, please vote for her.
Editing completed.
Send.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's done."
His eldest younger sister said, "Thank you, Brother. I didn't intend to fight for this and just wanted to have some fun. I posted it on my Moments, but who knew that those two girls would just kick up a fuss."
His third and second younger sisters laughed, "Heehee."
At this moment, someone replied to Zhang Ye's Moments post.
Chen Guang: "Your younger sister?"
When Zhang Ye saw it, he typed back: "Yeah."
Chen Guang: "Got it."
Ci Xiufang also left a message: "Which younger sister?"
Zhang Ye: "My eldest younger sister."
Ci Xiufang: "Dandan, right?"
Zhang Ye: "Yes."
Ci Xiufang: "I've already voted."
Fan Wenli: "I've already voted."
Zhang Xia: "I've already voted."
Quite a few good friends also left messages.
Many of the celebrities who attended Zhang Ye's wedding had also met Cao Dan.
His third younger sister was refreshing the rankings. "Wow, Sis, you've increased by more than 40 votes."
His second younger sister laughed and said, "Our brother is still the one with the most influence."
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You call this influence with just these few votes? Alright, get ready. It's almost time to eat. I'll let you all have a taste of your sister-in-law's cooking today. "
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Oh you, stop bragging."
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they prepared to start cooking. No one took it seriously anymore.
It was just a Moments post. Other than Zhang Ye's close friends, no one else could see it. But no one could have expected that this Moments post would cause such a huge commotion!
