Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Who Are These People Who Idolize Jiang Li?!

People from the fan club also got word that Jiang Li was soon to return to Beijing.

Early in the morning, as the president of the fan club, Lu Xingchao started to speak in the group chat:

“We must give Jiang Li an unprecedented grand airport welcome ceremony!

At least bigger than that of Su Yinwan next door!”

This sister’s fans have been belittling her since Jiang Li first appeared in public. If it weren’t for Jiang Li’s minimal involvement in the entertainment industry disputes and their own wisdom, the two sides would have torn each other apart long ago.

Now, everyone on the internet has taken for granted that Jiang Li and Su Yinwan are arch-enemies, given that they once competed over the same man and fought for resources in the same variety show.

Even though their idol didn’t take Su Yinwan to heart and had no intention of competing, these fans couldn’t afford to take it lightly.

Jiang Li had already been involved all the way to the Pacific Ocean, how could these ordinary people just lie flat?

Still, Lu Xingchao had considered some realistic factors.

Most fans these days are minors, barely able to contribute much manpower or financial resources.

The welcome ceremony couldn’t be too grand, or it might pressure the kids in the group, making him unfit as the president.

Anyway, his studio was booming these days, and his family was quite wealthy, so he could pay for the lion’s share.

After all this contemplation, Lu Xingchao felt proud of his understanding, but the next second, he was stunned by the message in the group chat.

[This is Lili’s first airport welcome, the president is right, we have to go big!]

[I can probably get dozens of supercars, just struggling between choosing Maybach or Ferrari. As for the color, definitely black and white, just as Lili likes. I just wonder if dozens of cars might seem a bit shabby?]

[You’re being too stingy, shouldn’t it be at least a hundred? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the cars.]

[Then I’ll handle the flowers. My family has a flower farm in Q City, getting a few truckloads from my dad won’t be a problem, and I’ve already picked the designs. It’s going to be Ecuadorian, perfectly matching Lili’s aura!]

[I can take care of the pull-up banners. I have a friend who makes them, we can just order directly.]

…

Seeing all these 99+ messages, Lu Xingchao went silent.

Hundreds of supercars, truckloads of Ecuadorian roses, organizing banners…

How rich were these people?!

Normally, in fan circles, such things would require tens of thousands or even millions of fans to pull together, but now these people said they could handle it themselves?

What kind of people had joined this fan club?

No, rather, what kind of people are fans of Jiang Li?!

…

On the other side, the group of four were also busily plotting.

To keep this surprise from being discovered by Jiang Li, they even created a separate chat group for just the four of them, intensely discussing it.

Qi Tianyu, with a book in one hand and a pen spinning in the other, furrowed his brows, “Do you guys know if Jiang Li has any particular hobbies? We could start from there. After all, her fans are probably planning a welcome event too, we shouldn’t collide.”

Wen Jiaojiao raised her hand, “I know this one, Jiang Li likes reading!”

“We can’t just flood her with a bunch of books though, that’d be too weird,” said Shu Yan. “How about we throw a party instead?”

He Yun was more laid back, “You guys discuss, just let me know if you need anything. I’ve already got Jiang Li’s gift prepared in advance.”

The other three: !!!

Was this elder sneaking around preparing gifts behind their back?!

Trying to monopolize Master Jiang’s favor?!

Not willing to be outdone, Wen Jiaojiao pulled out her phone, “No way, I’m going to probe Jiang Yan for information. He’s a bit naive, he won’t see our real purpose, and being Jiang Li’s real brother, he must know something.”

Hearing this, Qi Tianyu subtly raised an eyebrow.

Wen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yan definitely had something fishy going on…

It seemed his previous matchmaker suggestion worked!

But just as she switched on her phone, Wen Jiaojiao called out, then aimed her screen at the video call camera.

“Jiang Yan this guy actually changed our six-people group’s name to ‘Labor Team’ an hour ago, and he even shared it on his own Weibo. Now our group name is trending!!!”

The other three: “……”

The Weibo comment section was just a series of hahahas.

“Actually, ‘Labor Team’ is quite fitting, since they are indeed sent to labor reform.”

“I thought they would become strangers after the variety show ended, ignoring each other.”

“It turns out the ‘Villains Group’ has a strong bond; I’m truly impressed.”

“Looks like Jiang Yan really has nothing better to do now, getting bored enough to start renaming groups. His Weibo used to be all about food and fun, and now he even posts about changing a group name hahaha.”

Wen Jiaojiao sent a question mark in the “Labor Team” group chat.

Moments later, she received a message from Jiang Li in the group.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you, Jiang Yan and I are returning to Beijing tomorrow.”

Wen Jiaojiao looked up at the few people in the video.

Qi Tianyu quickly waved his hands, “Sis, act natural, don’t let Sister Li find out.”

Wen Jiaojiao nodded quickly and typed a string of characters on the screen.

“Great, I can finally see you guys again!”

After a while, Jiang Li sent another message, “Are you guys planning a surprise party for me and Jiang Yan? Don’t make it too troublesome, just do whatever.”

Wen Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat.

No way.

They couldn’t have been found out already?!

Curious, Jiang Yan, who had just finished his meal, stretched his neck to see the phone that Jiang Li was holding.

After seeing what she posted in the group, he burst out laughing.

“No way, Jiang Li, aren’t you being a bit narcissistic? Wen Jiaojiao just whimsically treats you like a decoder for muddled matters, and you really think you two are close friends and that she’d prepare a surprise party for you?”

Jiang Li looked at him indifferently, “I have my reasons.”

Then she showed her phone to Jiang Yan, “Ten minutes ago, Wen Jiaojiao posted on Moments asking if anyone can recommend a decent restaurant that you can book a day in advance. She mentioned a friend is coming back tomorrow.”

“And a few minutes later, Qi Tianyu also asked on Moments for gift recommendations suitable for female friends.”

“I…”

Jiang Yan wanted to say more, but Jiang Li added, “If that’s still not convincing, Wen Jiaojiao’s statement that she can ‘finally see us again’ is also odd, considering how long you’ve known her, has she ever looked forward to meeting you?”

“This…”

Jiang Yan was at a loss for words.

Jiang Li and Wen Jiaojiao used to clash, and he clashed even more with Wen Jiaojiao.

Even after spending so much time in Chixia Village, they still bickered.

She really wasn’t likely to look forward to seeing him.

“Hahahaha died laughing, the young master is being delusional.”

“How could Lili guess all this, she wouldn’t have guessed that we’re preparing to pick her up at the airport as well, would she?!”

“Jiang Yan really needs a slap sometimes, I feel like jumping through the screen to give him one.”
