189: Chapter 189 National Day Gala 5: "As You Wish"

"You are the distant road, the lamp in the mountain mist

I am a child, walking in your eyes

You are the bright moon and clear breeze, I am the dream you cherish

Seen or unseen, for a lifetime, I embrace you"

"And I will love the world you love, wish for the smile you wish for, my hand I stumble to hold, please lead me to tomorrow

If you have tasted my sweetness through hardship, I wish to live as your wish, may it not be in vain, may I press forward, every day of this flourishing era"

"The mountains and rivers are safe, fireworks are common, is this the vista you wished for? Children, sleep soundly in your dreams, just as you deeply loved"

These short hundred-plus words depicted a picture of continuous inheritance, successive efforts, and mutual guardianship.

The arduous pioneering of our predecessors, embarking on a journey with no turning back.

Only to let future generations live happily and peacefully, to shape faith for them.

It is precisely the selfless dedication of our predecessors that protects our beautiful life today.

The beautiful life they yearned for, they did not see.

Now, it will be up to the later generations to console our ancestors: this flourishing era is As Desired.

The country is peaceful and secure, and the ordinary sights of human life are everywhere.

It is what you wished for, and where I stand.

And I will eventually become you, becoming a member who guards this peaceful life.

We stand on the shoulders of giants, and we will surely let future generations stand on our shoulders.

May you see all this beauty, and rest in peace forever!

Many of the audience members present had already shed tears.

After listening to the song, their expressions became resolute, vowing to shoulder their responsibilities.

The bullet comments online seemed a beat slow, until Zhou Bule stepped off the stage.

Only then did the empty screen of the live broadcast room get filled with bullet comments again.

"You once tasted my sweetness through hardship'... Yes, when we gnawed on tree bark and slept in shacks, we hoped our children would one day drink milk and live in tall buildings. This child understands, he understands it all..."

"My grandma said that my grandpa participated in that war and remained forever in that unfamiliar land.

If he could hear 'mountains and rivers are safe, fireworks are common,' how wonderful that would be... This is the 'As Desired' he exchanged his life for."

"Listening to such a profound song on National Day. I feel filled with strength, and my bloodline has awakened."

"This is not just a song, it's a reply letter to our ancestors."

It's unknown which netizen first posted: "This flourishing era is As Desired."

Soon, the live screen was flooded with this sentence.

It continued for a long time.

...

The time reached twelve o'clock, as the four hosts simultaneously announced: "The National Day Gala has now concluded."

Declaring that this year's National Day Gala was a complete success.

Although the final viewership ratings were still being tallied, looking at those viewership peaks.

Zhang Quanzhi revealed a relieved and satisfied smile.

The viewership ratings for this gala had greatly broken all records of all galas in the past five years.

He never expected that the highest viewership peak of the entire gala was created by an unassuming young man.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he had listened to advice and not acted willfully.

He had agreed to Chen Shaoping's request.

Otherwise, if Chen Shaoping had really released these songs, he would definitely have become a laughingstock online.

It seems necessary to find an appropriate opportunity to treat Chen Shaoping to a meal to express gratitude.

Now that the gala had ended successfully and achieved unprecedented success, as long as the finishing touches were done well.

Then the true honor still awaited him.

Zhang Quanzhi comfortably lay on the sofa, feeling delighted, finally able to slack off for a bit.

Chen Shaoping and the others left the studio immediately after the gala ended.

On the way back to the hotel, Xu Yali chattered incessantly, extremely excited.

"Everyone online is discussing that after this gala, the biggest winners are Young Master Ping and Tongxing Entertainment Company."

"At the gala, CEO Chen had six songs, and now the most favorite programs voted by netizens, all six songs are ranked very high.

By the day the (voting) ends, these six songs will definitely dominate the top six spots."

"And our Tongxing Entertainment Company had three singers participate in the gala, and all performed independently; many large entertainment companies don't get such treatment.

Most importantly, according to a certain agency's report, during the performances of our company's three singers, the gala's viewership ratings all reached their peak at that time."

"CEO Chen, aren't you going to hand out some big red envelopes to celebrate!"

She finished her incessant speech, smiling at Chen Shaoping.

"I put in so much effort, shouldn't you all be treating me? Why do I have to give out red envelopes instead?" Chen Shaoping was unwilling to comply.

Xu Yali pouted, rolled her eyes, and said discontentedly: "You're so stingy! Sister Ying is treating you, and you're still not satisfied? What more do you want?"

She looked at Chen Shaoping with a smile, as if she enjoyed stirring up trouble.

"Hehe!"

Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh out loud. After Li Qian glared at him, he quickly switched to vibrate mode.

His shoulders kept shaking.

Chen Shaoping was bewildered; he really had no good way to deal with this tomboy.

Zhang Ying's ears turned red, and she awkwardly patted Xu Yali, "Yali, I'll send them, alright! Don't talk nonsense."

She chuckled, "Okay! Sister Ying, why don't you sleep with me tonight? We'll ignore CEO Chen, to punish him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shaoping immediately became unwilling, "Yali, it's one thing for you to be single. But to forcibly separate us who are in a passionate relationship, how could you even think of that?"

"You are so venomous, venomous, venomous, venomous, venomous..."

The others nearby, hearing him continuously say "venomous," moved away from him in disgust.

He was about to continue speaking when his phone chimed with a 'ding-ding' notification.

Chen Shaoping saw that Zhang Ying had already sent red envelopes in the group, sending 1 in a row.

His hands moved quickly, continuously tapping from bottom to top.

He snatched over 800 yuan from the final 200 yuan red envelope, having the best luck.

The most outrageous thing was one red envelope where he snatched 192 yuan, leaving everyone else with only 8 yuan.

This stirred up a hornet's nest; not only was Xu Yali upset, but other employees in the group also started complaining.

Even Wang Bo and the others looked at him differently.

He had incurred public wrath.

Finally, he was pinned down by Wang Bo and Zhou Bule, his phone snatched by Xu Yali and handed to Zhang Ying.

He was forced to send 3 red envelopes to quell the "public anger."

At the same time.

Just as Chen Shaoping was being dealt with by the others.

Many people in the CCTV studio were still doing cleanup work.

A staff member, while preparing to move a speaker, stumbled and fell.

He heavily crashed into the speaker, not only did his shoulder emit a crisp cracking sound, but he also knocked the speaker down.

Pulling on the wire connected to the speaker.

A certain part of the wire, having been crushed by a heavy object, snapped directly.

One end of the wire made a 'hissing' sound and was flung out due to the inertia of the break.

Coincidentally, it landed in a nearby trash can.

Soon, a burnt smell and thick smoke emanated from the trash can.
