Afternoon.
Past 2 PM.
It was the warmest time of the day. Zhang Ye's BMW X5 was basking in the winter sun. He and Yao Jiancai leisurely drove into a high-end residential district.
"It's done. I've delivered it." Zhang Ye stopped the car.
Yao Jiancai pulled him, "Cut the crap. Let's go upstairs together."
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "You still want to drag me down with you?"
Yao Jiancai laughed heartily, "If you didn't come, my wife probably wouldn't even open the door for me. Hurry, this old bro is in trouble. As a bro, aren't you going to help?"
Zhang Ye was helpless, "I'm mainly afraid Sister-in-law will beat me up."
After a long time, Zhang Ye finally went upstairs with Yao Jiancai.
Upstairs.
Yao Jiancai rubbed his hands and nervously pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, he could clearly hear footsteps approaching from inside. Slippers tapping against each other. Then, the door mirror dimmed. Clearly, someone was leaning over there watching.
Yao Jiancai hurriedly said, "Dear, it's me."
There was no movement inside. The door mirror lit up again. The person seemed to have left.
Yao Jiancai panicked and knocked on the door, "Dear, open the door. Let me in first. Daughter? Where's daughter? Open the door for Daddy! "
Through the door, he could vaguely hear the woman's conversation, but he could not make out the content.
Yao Jiancai was out of ideas and could only step back. He gestured to Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye had no choice but to go forward and knock on the door, "Sister-in-law, I'm Zhang Ye. I came with Old Yao to visit you and bought some fruits for you."
In the end, the treatment was the complete opposite of Yao Jiancai's. In less than two seconds, the door creaked open, revealing a middle-aged woman's face. She was a little plump and looked like a married couple with Yao Jiancai. She quickly opened the door and warmly said, "Oh, it's Teacher Zhang. Come in, come in."
Zhang Ye smiled, "Hello, Sister-in-law. I came in a hurry and didn't buy much. I just brought some fruits and some Brain Gold that I endorsed before." Wu Mo had given Zhang Ye many boxes of this. He had placed them in his car, so he could use them whenever he wanted. Since it was a gift, it was still presentable.
Fan Yi said, "You are too polite. In the future, you are not allowed to bring things home. You are my Mimi's teacher. I was still thinking of visiting you one day, but you came first."
Yao Mi also jumped out of the room with her eyes wide open, "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Ye greeted her.
Fan Yi pulled Zhang Ye to sit down, "Teacher Zhang, how's Mimi's studies? Are you being naughty in school? "
"No, Yao Mi is quite serious and hardworking. She's also very motivated and often asks about things she doesn't understand. She likes to get to the bottom of things. That's a good thing." Zhang Ye said politely.
Fan Yi poured him some water and made him some tea. She chuckled and said, "This child is not very obedient. In the future, you have to pay more attention to her in school. If she is naughty, you can teach her a lesson. You don't have to give us face."
Yao Mi was having none of it. She said, "Mom, I'm already a university student. Why are you disciplining me like I'm a child? Besides, I've always been obedient in school. I've never skipped Teacher Zhang's classes."
Fan Yi said, "Skipping other classes?"
The three of them chatted one after another.
Yao Jiancai was left to the side. He coughed again and again, but other than Zhang Ye glancing at him, the mother-daughter pair pretended that he was not there.
Zhang Ye could tell that they probably just wanted a way out of this embarrassing situation. Fan Yi probably knew that she had wronged Old Yao this time, so he said, "Sister-in-law, regarding the matter from before, I can vouch for Old Yao. There really was nothing. Just give me face and don't hold it against him."
Yao Jiancai timely said, "Yes, yes, there really wasn't anything. I swear to the Heavens!"
Fan Yi looked at Old Yao and grunted. She turned to Zhang Ye and put on a friendly expression, saying, "Teacher Zhang, it's only because you came today that I gave you face. If not, I really wouldn't have let him in. I don't believe a word of his, but your words … I believe them."
Yao Jiancai said, "Yes, yes. A teacher of the people doesn't lie!"
Fan Yi ignored him and said, "He has been staying at your place for the past two days? I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. "
Zhang Ye smiled, "Look at how polite you are. It's fine."
Only then did Fan Yi glance at Old Yao, "Have a seat. What are you standing there for?"
Yao Jiancai sighed and immediately leaned back on the sofa feeling refreshed. He poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down with a laugh. He knew that everything was fine now.
Yao Mi was actually not angry all this while. She was just cooperating with her mother to put on a show. Now that her mother had softened, she giggled and hugged Yao Jiancai's arm, "Dad, I saw the live broadcast. Your crosstalk with Teacher Zhang today was really great! It was too funny! "
Yao Jiancai bragged, "That's for sure. Who do you think your dad is? I'm a professional crosstalk actor. I've been performing for several years. Although I haven't performed in a long time, my basic skills are still there!"
Fan Yi exposed him, "What are you bragging about? Wasn't it Teacher Zhang who brought you along?"
Yao Jiancai laughed, "That's true. My old bro's talent in composing is really great. The arrangements for the dozen or so burdens from start to finish were really flawless!"
Zhang Ye smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm here today to ask for your forgiveness. Those burdens were just a joke. Please don't take it out on me."
Fan Yi smiled, "Sister-in-law, am I that narrow-minded? Don't forget, Old Yao used to work in crosstalk. As the family of a crosstalk artist, if I can't even take a joke like this, what else can I do? Besides, the phrase 'I'm still charming' really tickled me quite a bit. "
Yao Mi burst out laughing, "I was cramping up from laughing too! Hahaha! "
Yao Jiancai raised his chin, "Little Zhang, is your sister-in-law magnanimous?"
Zhang Ye gave a thumbs up, "Magnanimous!"
Fan Yi glared at Old Yao, "Don't joke around. I'll talk to you after Teacher Zhang leaves."
"Old bro, then you're not allowed to leave today." Yao Jiancai laughed, "Stay for dinner tonight. You can have a taste of my wife's cooking. In the past, my wife always nagged me to invite you over for dinner. You were busy, and so was I. We never had the time. Now that we're free and don't have any work to do, you must have this meal. Let's have a good drink too. It's not easy to treat you."
Fan Yi invited, "Yes, I'll go buy some groceries in a while."
Zhang Ye did not stand on ceremony, "Alright, then I'll be in for a treat today."
Following that, the four of them chatted and laughed together.
It could be seen that Fan Yi thought very highly of Zhang Ye. Firstly, Zhang Ye was a Peking University lecturer, so he could take care of Yao Mi in school. Secondly, Zhang Ye and Old Yao's crosstalk had indeed amazed her to the extreme. Their working relationship was likely to be very close. Thirdly, Yao Jiancai had a lot of scoundrel friends, but he did not have any real friends. Zhang Ye was one of them, so Fan Yi naturally treated Zhang Ye as a distinguished guest. Soon, they went to buy groceries for dinner. Looking at the menu, it looked like they were going to make eight or nine dishes. It was a sumptuous meal.
On the other side.
Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai also started getting busy. They received quite a few calls.
… …
It was a call from his mother.
"Son."
"Mom, did you listen to my crosstalk?"
"Of course you did! Your dad even slapped his thighs and cheered! Your sisters were also at our house this afternoon. They were all praising you to the heavens. Good, you didn't embarrass Mom! "
"That's right, how could I embarrass you?"
"What are you going to do in the next round of the preliminaries?"
"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll think about it in a while."
… …
It was a call from the old leader, Hu Fei.
"Haha, Little Zhang."
"Old leader."
"I just knew that you know crosstalk!"
"Hai, it's just nonsense, nonsense."
"If you were to speak nonsense, there wouldn't be many people in the world who know how to do it. Back then, I thought you were a layman, but who knew that you are even more professional than professional crosstalk actors!"
… …
It was a call from Big Saber Bro, Fan Yingyun.
"Teacher Zhang, your luck is pretty good. Central TV actually gave you a live broadcast?"
"Yeah, I got lucky."
"I think you're going to stir up a storm in the crosstalk world! I support you! Fight it out with them! My saber has been thirsting for blood for a long time! "
"Fuck."
… …
A lot of friends called to send their regards.
Some were congratulating him, some were congratulating him, some were shocked, and some were wishing for the world to be in chaos. Everyone was saying all sorts of things, but they were basically all in support of Zhang Ye. They also gave high praise to the standard of his crosstalk performance and were once again convinced of Zhang Ye's abilities!
A few days ago, when the ban was first announced, everyone thought that Zhang Ye would not be able to make a comeback and would not be able to stay in the entertainment circle anymore. They thought that he would have to switch to another line of work. But who could have expected that in just a few days, Zhang Ye had managed to carve out a path for himself in the crosstalk world despite all his other paths being blocked? It was too shocking!
His popularity was increasing by the day!
Was this still considered a ban? Why was it getting more and more banned!
A lot of people could only smile wryly. What was a godly person? Perhaps this was what a godly person was! A type of person who could never be judged by common sense!
