Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 389 - 384: Reunion Dinner

Bai Xiaotang may have so tricks up her sleeve for fangirling, but her live fan encounters amount to zero.

Not knowing what to bring the first ti eting a celebrity, she bought dozens of bouquets of flowers from a flower shop.

To show her appreciation, in addition to the flowers, she also ordered dozens of beautifully packaged cakes from a bakery.

When Ye Tong got off the car with Gu Lin and Ling Zhi, they saw three strikingly good-looking kids standing by the roadside.

Each kid was holding two face-covering bouquets, and there were also two small carts full of bouquets and brown paper bags beside them, borrowed from who knows where.

"Oh my gosh, Tangtang, Xiao Yang, You Le, why did you buy so many flowers and cakes?"

Bai Xiaotang managed to free one hand from the bouquets and waved at Ye Tong with a smile, "Sister Xiaotong, these are for everyone..."

"What?" Ye Tong was full of astonishnt.

Before she could react, Bai Xiaotang, along with Lin Yuanyang and You Le, began handing out bouquets and cakes to her, Gu Lin, Ling Zhi, and the actors and crew mbers who were getting off the bus one after another.

Each ti they handed one out, they said, "Thank you for taking care of my Sister Xiaotong in the crew. Happy New Year~"

Watching the busy figures of the three, Ye Tong’s nose inexplicably felt a bit sore.

Until Ling Zhi tugged at her arm, "Are these your siblings? They’re so adorable! Thank you for the flowers and cakes, I really like them."

"Mm..." Ye Tong’s chest felt warm, and she quickly stepped forward to help out.

There were more than thirty people from the crew on the bus, and after giving them all out, there were still a few left.

Bai Xiaotang was a bit troubled because the small cart was borrowed from the flower shop and needed to be returned later.

"That’s Gu Lin and Ling Zhi over there, won’t you go get their autographs? They’ll be leaving for the airport soon." Ye Tong quietly reminded them.

Bai Xiaotang imdiately forgot all her worries and called Lin Yuanyang and You Le to happily run over to get signatures.

The crew mbers who hadn’t left yet suddenly gathered around Ye Tong to thank her.

Everyone had a happy look on their face, and their gazes toward Ye Tong were very warm.

Regardless of previous dynamics in the crew, they now all thought Ye Tong was really considerate.

"Thanks, Xiaotong, for preparing New Year gifts for us."

"Yeah, I really like this New Year gift."

"My kids love this cake. Thank you so much..."

...

As she listened to everyone expressing their gratitude, Ye Tong tried hard to suppress the wetness in her eyes and distributed the extra cakes and flowers to crew mbers who had kids.

When Bai Xiaotang returned after getting the signatures, she saw her Sister Xiaotong with her back to them, seemingly doing sothing.

"Sister Xiaotong, what’s wrong?"

Ye Tong quickly wiped her eyes, turned around, and embraced Bai Xiaotang, her voice thick with emotion, "Thank you..."

True friends are like this; even without words, they can understand each other’s feelings.

"Let’s go, Sister Ning is still waiting for us at ho."

"What? There’s no cake left at all, and I even bought two pieces for Sister Ning!"

"..."

***

The New Year is all about having lots of people, excitent, and reunion.

They spent most of the day preparing, all for this reunion feast at night.

Even Bai Yusen and Bai Xiaotang, who typically stay out of the kitchen, tried hard to lend a hand, though the process was a bit of a ss. But with help from Ye Tong and Grandma Youle, the results were pretty good.

By alti, almost everyone had one dish they had made themselves.

"Try this, it’s the vegetable and fruit salad I made." Bai Xiaotang pointed to a bowl of white salad on the round table and recomnded it with a smile.

Bai Yusen was the most obliging, scooping himself a big spoonful directly.

"Not bad, Tangtang can cook now."

Lin Yuanyang shifted slightly to the side.

With Ye Tong and Grandma Youle bringing out delicious dishes one after another, even Bai Yusen, who isn’t particular about food, looked amazed, swallowing hard.

"The last dish, sweet and sour fish, wishing everyone a year with surplus!" Ye Tong said with a smile, placing an oval long plate in the center of the round table, very satisfied with how the table looked. She then untied her apron.

Just as she was about to sit down and eat, the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong—"

"Who is it?" Bai Xiaotang craned her neck holding chopsticks, and Ye Tong stood up again, "I’ll go see."

When she saw Feng Lei and Feng Yu’s faces on the intercom screen, Ye Tong’s face turned black, and she especially wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen it and say, "Soone delivering a package!"

But Feng Yu smiled through the phone, "Xiaotong, we brought New Year gifts."

If not for Feng Yu’s favor, Ye Tong really didn’t want Feng Lei to co in.

She pressed the button to open the door and elevator permission, waiting for the Feng brothers to co up the elevator.

"Who’s Sister Xiaotong?" Bai Xiaotang also ca over.

Ye Tong’s face was stern, "The Feng brothers."

"Huh? What are they here for?"

"To deliver New Year gifts."

Bai Xiaotang tried hard to think if their family had any ties with the Feng family.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t recall any business dealings between the two families.

"Is Sister Ning’s film company collaborating with Xing Yu?"

While they were talking, a polite knock was heard at the door.

Ye Tong opened the door for them.

Feng Yu had a brilliant smile, "Xiaotong, Happy New Year! Is Sister Ning ho? I want to give her New Year greetings~"

"Isn’t greeting the New Year tomorrow?"

"Is it? Well, it doesn’t matter, it’s all part of celebrating the New Year." Feng Yu didn’t care, changed into disposable slippers, and quickly walked to the living room.

Seeing Ji Ning and a bunch of people sitting in the dining room, he was very at ease, greeting everyone and displaying extroverted social skills to the fullest.

Soon he blended in, ready to eat.

Feng Lei, seeing his brother fitting in so well, felt a bit awkward.

Originally, to avoid Jin Jiaojiao, he didn’t plan on spending New Year at the Feng family ho. But after Feng Yu found out, he didn’t want to go back either, saying he wanted to experience celebrating in Anhe City.

So the brothers went to Mingfu Garden, a newly renovated house, staring at each other.

Then Feng Yu suddenly suggested visiting the goddess.

Feng Lei didn’t know why Ye Tong’s face suddenly appeared in his mind, inexplicably agreeing.

The brothers promptly had soone go to a nearby mall to buy lots of New Year gifts, and after preparing everything, they directly went to deliver them.

They didn’t expect that the Bai family was about to eat a reunion al, and Bai Yusen was also there.

This made Feng Lei feel caught and uneasy.

Across from them, Bai Yusen was a bit surprised by Feng Lei’s arrival; he looked at Ye Tong coming over and imdiately understood, then invited him over to eat with a smile.

Feng Lei felt even more awkward, stiffly shaking hands with Bai Yusen.

"Where is the restroom, please?"

"Over there—"

Watching Feng Lei’s slightly unruly steps, Bai Yusen wanted to laugh but held it in. He said to Ye Tong, "Xiaotong, please add a chair for the guest."

Ye Tong, who was just about to sit down: ...

"Let him move it himself!" Ji Ning glanced warningly at Bai Yusen, who was clearly just watching the show.

Seeing this, Feng Yu imdiately got up to move a chair, "I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Thank you all for the hospitality. We didn’t check the timing when we arrived; we’re just braving it for a al."

With Feng Yu joking around, the atmosphere beca relaxed again.

When Feng Lei ca back adjusted and composed, everyone was already eating.

Especially his silly brother, who while gnawing on ribs, gave Ye Tong a thumbs-up, "Xiaotong, your cooking is amazing. Whoever marries you will definitely be blessed."

"Alright, then introduce to soone."

"No problem, what type are you looking for..."

Before he could finish, he saw his brother sit down between him and Ye Tong, blocking his view of her, and said with a fake smile, "Don’t talk while eating."
