After Zong Ruoan hung up the call with Tan Tai Jinyu, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and change his clothes.

Just as I finished cleaning up, the doorbell rang.

It was the servant of the Zong family who brought him the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zong Ruoan opened the door and let them in. After putting the delivered food in the dining room, he let them go back.

These people came on Zong's private interstellar spaceship that can jump through space, so the speed is very fast.

If they rush back at this time, they will still have time to reunite with their families and have the New Year's Eve dinner.

In order to thank them for their service, Zong Ruoan transferred a big red envelope to each of them, and finally got these people away in time.

After they left, Zong Ruoan sent a video call request to Xia Chujian.

At this time, Xia Chujian and his teammates were happily gathered in the kitchen and restaurant, helping Xia Yuanfang.

Hearing the prompt sound of the quantum optical computer, Xia Chujian glanced at it and found that it was actually a video call request from Zong Ruoan.

She was a little surprised.

Today is New Year's Eve. Although it is not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, it is already dark outside and freezing cold. "Water turning into ice" is not enough to describe how cold it is outside.

Why is Zong Ruoan sending her a video call request instead of preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner with her family?

Xia Chujian answered the call out of curiosity.

Zong Ruoan saw the busy people around Xia Chujian and asked, "...Are you home?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes, our team came to my house to celebrate New Year's Eve."

Zong Ruoan smiled and said, "Can I come join you? I just finished work today and didn't have time to go back to my house for New Year's Eve. Now I'm alone."

Xia Chujian didn't think much about it and said, "It's really miserable to spend New Year's Eve alone. Colonel Zong, where are you now?"

Zong Ruoan said, "It's in the neighborhood next to yours."

Xia Chujian exclaimed, "Colonel Zong bought a house in a well-decorated residential complex! Colonel Zong is really rich!"

Zong Ruoan: “…”

The petrified people: "..."

I really don’t know whether it is sarcasm or ignorance to say that a person who comes from one of the four noble families is really rich.

But looking at Xia Chujian's expression, she was neither sarcastic nor ignorant, she really believed it.

Li Fu came over and said seriously to Zong Ruoan on the video call, "Colonel Zong, for our little Chujian to praise you as 'really rich' is an absolute compliment. Not many people get that kind of compliment."

Zong Ruoan laughed: "I understand, thank you Li Fu for clearing up my confusion. By the way, since I can't go home for New Year's Eve, my family sent me a New Year's Eve set meal. I can't finish it by myself. If you don't mind, I'd like to bring it and eat with you, okay?"

Xia Chujian smiled and waved her hands: "I don't mind! I don't mind! Of course I don't mind! Delicious food tastes better when we share it with everyone!"

Then she casually asked, "How many dishes did Colonel Zong's family send to Colonel Zong?"

Zong Ruoan glanced at the electronic food container on the table that had not yet been taken out and placed on the plate, and said, "...About thirty-two dishes."

Xia Chujian: “…”

When I saw the black rhino pork buns I was making, they suddenly didn’t taste good anymore.

But she quickly comforted herself that Zong Ruoan relied on quantity to win, while her family relied on quality!

Zong Ruoan said, "Then I'll come over now?"

Xia Chujian nodded blankly: "Do you need us to pick you up? Thirty-two dishes, is it too much for one person to handle?"

Zong Ruoan thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if two of you could come over and help me get it."

Li Fu and Song Mingqian immediately volunteered: "Colonel Zong, what's your address? We can come and help you!"

Zong Ruoan told the address.

Li Fu and Song Mingqian immediately put on their coats and went out.

They did not use any aircraft, but instead used the high physical strength of Class B genetic evolvers to leap and run between buildings, and arrived at the next community in five minutes.

However, after entering the neighboring community, it took another ten minutes to reach the first floor of the building where Zong Ruoan lived.

Because that community was much larger than the old and backward community Xia Chujian and his family lived in...

Then I took the elevator to the top floor and arrived at the door of Zong Ruoan’s top-floor duplex apartment.

After ringing the doorbell, Zong Ruoan opened the door for them and pointed to the restaurant on the other side and said, "The food boxes are still over there. Let's move them together."

"There are five food boxes in total, each containing eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, eight steamed dishes, four soups, and four staple foods."

Zong Ruoan picked up the electronic food box containing four soups. The food box was almost half a person's height.

Song Mingqian was carrying two food boxes, one containing cold dishes and the other hot dishes.

The two food boxes that Li Fu was carrying contained steamed dishes and staple foods.

The three of them took the elevator down from the top floor, then ran all the way and finally arrived at Xia Chujian's door.

Half an hour has passed.

Xia Chujian opened the door and said with emotion: "Actually, Colonel Zong lives quite far away..."

Zong Ruoan: “…”

If you use an aircraft, it will take ten minutes to go back and forth.

Unfortunately, his aircraft is not here, and he can't always use his own Owl fighter.

Xia Chujian was just saying it casually.

Li Fu and Song Mingqian followed in from behind and placed the food boxes they brought on the large dining table in the restaurant.

When Xia Yuanfang heard that Zong Ruoan had arrived, he also came out of the kitchen and said to him politely, "Welcome to my home to celebrate New Year's Eve. I'm busy here, so please do as you please."

Zong Ruoan knew nothing about cooking and did not take the initiative to ask to help in the kitchen.

But Xia Chu saw that their team members were either helping to pick vegetables in the kitchen or making dumplings in the restaurant.
