Chapter 290 Caught Off Guard

Although Yang Yi declined, he never expected that, without any external interference, Xixi would still become the protagonist.1

But not the white swan, but the Ugly Duckling before the transformation!

It was also a coincidence that the other children disliked the role of the Ugly Duckling because it had the word ugly in it and they were unwilling to play it. And the kind-hearted Lan Xin, who was willing to play the role and whom Teacher Mu also thought was suitable, couldnt remember so many lines. She kept forgetting them, and Teacher Mu had no choice but to give up on Lan Xin.

In the end, Xixi, with a strong sense of responsibility, stepped forward and won over Teacher Mu with her excellent memory, and successfully won the role of the Ugly Duckling.

Of course, thats a story for later!

Now, Yang Yi has handed over the script to Teacher Mu, and the subsequent arrangements and rehearsals were naturally the responsibilities of several kindergarten teachers. Yang Yi wouldnt partic.i.p.ate, as he didnt know how to teach and didnt have the patience to guide the children in their rehearsals

However, Yang Yi didnt want to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He took the initiative to take on the childrens performance costumes. From design to production, Yang Yi completed it all by himself.

During the parent-teacher conference, didnt Lan Xins father say that he wanted to sponsor? Teacher Mu said. Ill give him a call, and you can discuss it?

Yang Yi couldnt help but laugh and said, Theres no need to trouble him with such a small matter, right? I can still afford the cost of the costumes.

Lan Zhoukai has been busy lately, and Yang Yi knew that. After talking with Yang Yi at the parent-teacher conference, he went back and thought about it more and more and found it more interesting. He found a specialized consulting company to help him do a complete business survey and see the current development of Internet companies.

He also communicated with Yang Yi about this matter, expressing that he wanted to test the waters2. He set up a venture capital company in advance and wanted to test the waters with a few hundred million.

Yang Yi also thought about asking Lan Zhoukai to invest in the Sahara Online Shop, but he didnt think it was good. After all, he had shares in Sahara. If he proposed it, Lan Zhoukai might suspect that he was looking for a partner to defraud his money, causing a rift in their pure friends.h.i.+p. That would not be good!

Not only himself, but Yang Yi also didnt want Xixi to lose a good friend like Lan Xin.

So, although Lan Zhoukai was a well-capitalized investor, Yang Yi still didnt consider introducing him to Fu Jun.

Yang Huan boarded the train in a hurry.

In Yang Yis hometown, in the rural area, although it was considered prestigious to be admitted into a university and make a name for oneself, it wasnt as highly valued as in urban families. After all, there were many other options such as farming and manual labor. It wasnt necessary to study.

So, when Yang Huan made up her mind to go out and work, although her family opposed it, the opposition wasnt very strong, and in the end, they couldnt resist her choice.

And instead of letting Yang Huan go to some faraway cities in Guangdong Province with some girls from the neighboring town to work, where they would paint their faces all day and not know what kind of work they would be doing, it would be better to let her go find Yang Yi.

With her older brother taking care of her, there shouldnt be too much of a problem right?

It was really a matter of leaving as soon as she said it. Yesterday, she called Yang Yi, and Yang Huan started packing her clothes. Yang Qing had to sit on the tractor of Er Gouzi3in the village the next day and take Yang Huan to the city to catch the train.

Yang Qing, who was accustomed to being frugal and thrifty, was reluctant to spend money on phone calls and hadnt called Yang Yi before. However, as the second older brother, he generously bought Yang Huan a sleeper ticket and sent his sister on the train. It was only after sending her off that he called Yang Yi from a public phone booth.

Yang Huan will arrive tomorrow at noon? Yang Yi received a call from Yang Qing and was surprised. He thought he would have a few more days, but he didnt expect his younger sister to come so quickly!

The fl.u.s.tered Yang Yi quickly began to take action. There wasnt much else to worry about, but he had to hurry up and prepare a bedroom for Yang Huan.

Yang Yi, who was busy, didnt have time to listen to Xixis stories about kindergarten. He didnt even have time to watch tonights episode of Zhi Xin Interview featuring an interview with Mo Fei, let alone have the energy to think about Xixis question about wanting a younger brother or sister.

There will be, there will be in the future, dont worry! Yang Yi rubbed his daughters little head, turned on the TV, switched to the cartoon channel for her to watch, and then went into the bedroom he had prepared for Yang Huan to tidy it up.

When Mo Fei returned and learned the news, she complained again, Why didnt you tell me earlier! Shes coming tomorrow, and I havent prepared anything.

I didnt know she would come as soon as she said it! Yang Qing, that idiot, didnt even know to call in advance, Yang Yi complained4.

Mo Fei didnt have time to settle accounts with Yang Yi. She quickly made a phone call to Mo Xiaojuan and asked her to adjust her schedule, freeing up the entire day for her tomorrow.

Fortunately, the main focus now was on shooting the music video, and Mo Fei didnt have many scenes. The director could make adjustments and shoot others first. As for the recording studio, it didnt matter if Mo Fei didnt go tomorrow. The recording of the twelve songs on the alb.u.m has already been completed, and Jin Yingming could proceed with the follow-up work independently.

Yang Yi didnt understand much, so he kindly advised, If youre busy with work, its okay to see her when you come back tomorrow night. Shes just my younger sister, not a national leader. Theres no need to make a big fuss.

Mo Fei rolled her eyes at him and said, Its because shes your sister that I have to take it more seriously! I dont even want to bother with anyone else!

Unable to explain to Yang Yi, she just went into the dressing room. Because Mo Fei had moved a lot of clothes from the Binhai District, Yang Yi had prepared a room for her to use as a dressing room. Anyway, there were many rooms, so why not be indulgent!

Mo Fei was already starting to worry about what to wear to pick up her sister-in-law tomorrow!

The next morning, it was a weekend, and Guo Ziyi didnt have cla.s.ses. He and Du Yuanlei had made an appointment to come to the coffee shop to find Yang Yi. Because Yang Yi had always been in the shop or upstairs before, Guo Ziyi confidently didnt call Yang Yi in advance.

As a result, when he came to the coffee shop with Du Yuanlei, he only saw Ding Xiang and a few customers, while Yang Yi and Xixi were nowhere to be seen.

Wheres Big Brother Yang? Didnt he come today? Guo Ziyi asked Ding Xiang awkwardly. He realized he had made a mistake and was a little embarra.s.sed in front of Du Yuanlei.

Ding Xiang looked at him and Du Yuanlei meaningfully, with no change in her expression, and said, Big Brother Yang wont come today. He said he was going to the station to pick someone up. Big Brother Yangs younger sister is coming.

Big Brother Yangs younger sister? Guo Ziyi didnt know about this. He had been busy filming for these past two days.

Are you talking about the boss of this shop? The tall boss? Du Yuanlei asked curiously. She remembered that she had probably seen Yang Yi before, when she first met Guo Ziyi. However, Guo Ziyis attempts to impress her were too prominent, so her impression of Yang Yi wasnt very deep.

Yes, hes Big Brother Yang! Guo Ziyi apologized with a guilty face. Im really sorry for making you come here for nothing.

It doesnt matter. If we dont see him this time, we can come again next time, Du Yuanlei didnt mind. She was already prepared to make multiple attempts. Let me buy you a cup of coffee. Youve worked hard too!

Uh, okay!

Guo Ziyi actually had no preference, whether to agree or refuse. Du Yuanlei was already taking out her money. Her statement wasnt a question, and she wasnt seeking his opinion

Du Yuanlei bought two cups of coffee, took one with her, and left, while Guo Ziyi stayed behind.

Although it was somewhat regrettable, knowing that Yang Yis younger sister would arrive at noon, Guo Ziyis interest was completely aroused. He wanted to see what Younger Sister Yang looked like!
