“Sometimes there are things that can’t be explained,” Lin Wan said with a frown. “Perhaps it’s presumptuous, but I always believe in my intuition. Wanyu, if it were Zexuan, I would have done the same. I would support them unconditionally, even if it meant being proven wrong.”
Lin Wan and Xie Wanyu talked for half an hour. When they finally got out of the car, they both felt at ease.
After returning home from Yun Xi High School, Lin Wan took a nap.
On January 15th, the Chenxin year-end banquet arrived as scheduled.
Lin Wan, as a guest speaker, sat at the main table with Li Yanchen. She was dressed in a golden evening gown, with her hair styled in an elegant bun and adorned with pearl flowers.
The host was the manager of the planning department and the manager of the publicity department.
In addition to Chenxin’s own livestreaming platform, the Yun City radio hosts and cameramen were also present. The performances of Chenxin’s year-end banquet were more exciting than those of an art troupe.
Many local media reporters wanted to get some exclusive information, but Li Yanchen refused.
After the host finished the opening speech, Li Yanchen gave his speech.
As usual, he first affirmed the employees’ achievements of the year. However, this time, Li Yanchen went off-script and spoke from the heart.
His words moved many employees, and some even had tears in their eyes. Next, Lin Wan gave her speech, during which she didn’t mention anything work-related and just thanked everyone for their hard work.
After the speeches were done, the host announced the commencement of the meal, and the performances began.
The performances of Chenxin’s employees were impressive and surpassed expectations. Everyone almost forgot about the delicious food on their tables and put down their chopsticks to immerse themselves in the captivating performances. Lin Wan even sang, “You Look So Pretty When You Smile.”
The whole event lasted for three hours. Just when everyone thought all the performances were over, the host suddenly announced, “Today, we have one more mysterious performance. Guess what it is…”
Lin Wan looked away from the center of the stage. She turned to Li Yanchen to ask if he had invited a celebrity, but she found that he was missing.
“Where is Mr. Li?” Lin Wan asked Secretary Han in a low voice.
Secretary Han had seen his boss leave his seat but hadn’t asked where he was going. He assumed that he might have gone to the washroom or stepped out for some fresh air after being seated for three hours straight.
“He probably went to the restroom,” said Secretary Han.
‘You can raise your hand to guess. Anyone who gets it correct will win a prize!” said the host.
Everyone eagerly raised their hands.
“Is it the K2 girl group? Chenxin definitely can afford to invite them. They are my idols!”
“I guess it’s the timeless singer, Liang Jiajia.”
“Could it be the king of comedy, Zheng Peipei?”
“Isn’t anyone guessing a magician? Maybe it’s Xiao Tianlin. Mr. Li and Mr. Xiao have a good relationship.”
“I guess it’s Mr. Li. He might be singing.”
The audience booed when they heard that.
Lin Wan heard some people shout, “No!”
‘Did Yanchen think everyone was getting too excited, so he planned this to dampen them a bit?’
He did enjoy singing, and he was quite stubborn. Moreover, Li Yanchen had told her last night that he had something planned, and he would do it no matter what. Li Yanchen was very likely going to sing!
Lin Wan prepared to cover her ears.
“Let’s end the guessing game! Our mystery guests are already preparing backstage. Let’s welcome them with the warmest applause!” The host continued to hype up the atmosphere.
Behind the curtain, Li Yanchen and his three sons were ready. They had practiced this dance for three afternoons.
Lin Wan craned her neck to see better.
The music started, and Li Zekai was the first to appear on stage, followed by Li Zexin, Li Zexuan, and finally Li Yanchen. The four of them stood in a row.
Their movements were synchronized and rhythmic, clearly indicating that it was a robotic dance.
The four of them danced amidst the cheerful rock music.
Li Yanchen could actually dance, and he did it pretty well. All their steps were on the beat. The three stepsons also danced as if they had received professional training.
Applause and cheers came from the audience.
The energetic Li Yanchen danced like a young man in his twenties.
The dance lasted for five minutes.
Everyone felt that time had flown by in an instant, and they were not satisfied
They enthusiastically demanded another dance from them.
The performers had already retreated behind the curtain. The host laughed. “Don’t make a fuss. Li Zexuan is a big star, and his appearance fee is calculated by the minute. We are lucky we got to see him dance at all.”
Li Yanchen calmed himself down and then headed to the stage with a mic in his hand.
‘We secretly practiced for three and a half days, so thank you for bearing with us. Our party is coming to an end. Thank you all for persevering until the end. May everyone have a safe, joyful, and prosperous New Year.”
“Mr. Li, you’re amazing!”
“Mr. Li, I love you!”
“Mr. Li, call Li Zexuan and the kids on stage too! They danced so well!”
“7,exnan— Zexnan—” The audience called Oilt to Li Zexnan-
The children also returned to the stage and bowed to everyone and offered their best wishes.
Finally, Li Zexuan said, “Now, I would like to invite our mom up on the stage.”
“Mom?”
“Mom?!”
“Lin Wan! Lin Wan!” Everyone started calling Lin Wan’s name again.
Lin Wan was ushered onto the stage. She stood in the middle of the four men.
“We didn’t tell Mom about this performance. To be precise, it was to give my dad a chance to show off tonight. We collaborated with him to choreograph this dance. My dad did quite well, right?” Li Zexuan asked.
“It was excellent!”
Lin Wan was overwhelmed by the surprises.
Li Yanchen put his arm around her shoulders. “I want to ask my wife… is your husband as good as ever?”
“Mr. Li, you aren’t old at all. You are still very young…’
Lin Wan’s mind drifted off to inappropriate thoughts. Something intimate popped up in her mind, and her cheeks turned red.
Li Yanchen’s words were probably meant to show that he was still full of energy and stamina. Lin Wan had to admit that he looked hot.
“Mr. Li is indeed impressive. He has shown us a different side of himself. We jointly recommend Mr. Li to participate in next year’s martial arts conference.” do! we do!”
The host suggested it, and the audience echoed their agreement. After interacting with the employees for a while, the Li family thanked the audience and left the stage.
“Xuanxuan, Xinxin, aren’t you both supposed to be in class?” asked Lin Wan when they were all backstage.
“We took the afternoon off to support our father,” Li Zexin said.
“Jiejie, even you hid this from me.”
“Mom, it was my brother who told me not to say anything,” Li Zekai said.
“Mom, did you like our dance? There’s a rap part in the middle, and I had it specifically slowed down, so you could hear it properly. It goes like this: Lin Wan, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice…” Li Zexin said enthusiastically.
“Enough, I heard it. You turned the lyrics into rap and made it so tacky…”
“Do you think I have a chance to debut in the music industry?”
