Chapter 500: New Year in a Cold Wave (10K)

The cold wave lasted unexpectedly long.

Moreover, the power supply was severely damaged. Many power towers were frozen and the ice on the power lines was several centimeters thick.

Everyone thought that the cold wave would ease as the New Year approached, but they found out that they were wrong.

God will not make someone happy just because they feel cold.

Residents of several cities in Chongshan Province suffered greatly. While electricity was intermittent, it was gradually restored after government repairs. Water supply, however, was a problem, especially in residential areas with pipes attached to exterior walls. Residents had to queue daily for the arrival of sprinkler trucks.

However, in general, everyone is united and people's livelihood issues are still guaranteed.

Prices were soon stabilized, a large amount of supplies were put into the market, and with effective supervision, we no longer had to pay exorbitant prices for vegetables.

After Zeng Wenjie sold out the goods in his store, he gave everyone an early New Year holiday. The traffic conditions on most roads were not very good and flights were unstable, so he simply closed the store for a break and let everyone go home early to spend a comfortable New Year.

After the water and electricity were repaired, Zeng Mi and Feng Xiao immediately took a nice hot bath.

Feng Xiao thought of the frozen and burst water pipes in his rented house, but he was too lazy to care about it. He decided to let the landlord have the headache himself.

Zeng Mi also went back to Xiaopin Teahouse to get daily necessities. After checking, she found that the water pipes were also frozen and burst. She could only turn off the main valve first and wait for the cold wave to pass before asking someone to repair it.

This winter, Zeng Wenjie worked diligently to play the role of a kind-hearted and enthusiastic young entrepreneur, donating a large amount of supplies and money.

Of course, the donations go through the channels of the Zeng Wenjie Foundation. As always, every penny is allocated and announced to the public, and we welcome supervision and audits from all parties.

Zeng Wenjie's open and honest attitude of not being afraid of being investigated has earned him more and more praise, while some institutions are eager to stab him with a knife.

Then……

Zeng Wenjie received some threatening letters.

He simply disdained these things. If you have the ability, just try to touch him and see who will die in the end!

However, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and receiving these things is really disgusting.

"These bad guys don't do good things themselves and don't allow others to do them. It's ridiculous. I'm going to do this anyway. Come and kill me if you can."

If someone is so blind as to use dirty and despicable means to attack him, he is not afraid at all, because the only one who will die is the other person.

At this level, are you still afraid of these things?

As the New Year approaches, Zeng Wenjie has arranged the duty work, and someone still needs to operate and maintain it during the New Year period.

Of course, since Boss Zeng loves to give out money, the bonuses received by those on duty during the Chinese New Year must be extremely generous.

Now the basic livelihood of Fengzhou City has been guaranteed, but Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi still stayed in Yunhu, planning to celebrate the New Year with Zeng Wenjie.

If I go back, I will probably feel lonely without any companions.

After Zeng Wenjie accepted an interview arranged by the General Administration that day, he ended his disaster relief work in cooperation with the provincial government.

Whether it was a show or a sincere one, Zeng Wenjie did a lot of things during the freezing disaster and donated a lot of money, gaining real reputation.

Feng Xiao is very satisfied when reading the news every day, because Zeng Wenjie's positive image has been completely established. What's more, he is still so young and has a bright future.

Feng Xiao was the one who planned part of Zeng Wenjie's life, so when she saw Zeng Wenjie moving higher and higher, she would feel very satisfied and have the pleasure of completing a level of development game.

Zeng Mi was carefree and happy every day. He would sleep in during the day, get up, eat, and study for a while, then draw the draft and drink with others in the evening.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Zeng Wenjie went to Fu Qianzhu's house as usual to have an early New Year's Eve dinner and had already greeted her.

Fu Qianzhu and Fu Yong still did not return to Baishui Town, and chose to stay in Fengzhou for the New Year.

Fu Qianzhu was unwilling to go back, and there was no point in Fu Yong going back alone.

"Boss, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If you can't go back, why don't you come here for dinner?" Fu Qianzhu asked tentatively.

"No, I'm going to accompany my boss tomorrow." Zeng Wenjie lied without thinking.

After hearing this, Fu Qianzhu didn't dare to persuade him any more, but she was already very happy that Zeng Wenjie could come and have a meal with her on the 29th day of the lunar year.

Zeng Wenjie glanced at Fu Yong and asked, "Uncle Yong, why don't you find a wife? I heard that many rich women like you. Just find one and lie down with her."

Fu Yong smiled and said, "Not yet. Let's wait a few more years."

Fu Qianzhu said: "I can't persuade him no matter how hard I try."

Fu Yong said, "How can you have the freedom of being single if you're married? If you don't get married, you'll regret it for a short time. If you get married, you'll regret it for a lifetime."

Zeng Wenjie thought of what happened to Hu Guohua in his previous life, smacked his lips, and said nothing.

When it comes to things like marriage, don't urge, persuade, or interfere, even your parents shouldn't do that.

If a married couple feels unhappy and thinks of those who urged them to get married, they will probably regret it and feel hatred towards them.

Let those who are going to get married make their own decision. No matter who urges or persuades them, it's fine if the couple lives together comfortably, but if they are unhappy, they will be unpopular with everyone.

"Just look!" Fu Qianzhu said.

"How dare you talk about me? What about yourself?" Fu Yong asked back.

"I'm still young!" Fu Qianzhu was stunned, then retorted excitedly.

"What do you mean by young? In our hometown, there are many people who get married at the age of 17 or 18. You are already considered an old leftover woman at the age of 23." Fu Yong sneered.

People in the countryside generally get married early. In some places, people get married when they are only 16 or 17 years old, and then apply for a marriage certificate when they reach the required age.

By the time the certificate is issued, the child is old enough to help with cooking.

Fu Qianzhu's face flushed, and she said, "Then why don't you just say it's the feudal era, where people got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen!"

Fu Yong pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Are you expecting someone?"

Fu Qianzhu was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Senior sister is so smart and kind, she will definitely find the right person for her."

Fu Yong's words were arranged by Zeng Wenjie.

It was not to test Fu Qianzhu, but to clarify something with her, so that she could let go of some of her feelings and look for a new beginning.

Fu Qianzhu's life is full of scars and can no longer withstand any more storms.

Zeng Wenjie didn't want to add more scars to her.

After he figured this out, he rarely met with Fu Qianzhu this year.

"It's my own business, no need for others to worry about it, I can arrange it myself." Fu Qianzhu said firmly and calmly.

"No wonder after you graduated, so many girls in Fengyuan regarded you as a role model and said that you were a representative figure of self-reliance and self-improvement." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Fu Qianzhu glanced at him, nodded and smiled, and said seriously: "I want to cash out the shares I have and do what I want to do."

Zeng Wenjie was startled and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Fu Qianzhu said seriously: "I want to open a comprehensive training hall. This is the result of my careful consideration."

Fu Yong was surprised after hearing this, but he said nothing. He just looked at his niece deeply.

"Okay, then I will buy back the shares you hold, but I still suggest you keep some," said Zeng Wenjie.

"Just keep one percent." Fu Qianzhu thought for a while and said.

"It's up to you." Zeng Wenjie said.

Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "I had this idea a long time ago, but I never dared to tell you. Thank you for your support."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I know your character and abilities very well, Senior Sister. I wish you success."

Fu Qianzhu's smile was as bright as usual. He raised his glass and said, "Thank you. I hope that one day I can have the opportunity to be even one percent as good as you."

"You are too modest. Come, have a drink." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

After finishing his meal, Zeng Wenjie sat for a while, smoked a few cigarettes with Fu Yong, and chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Fu Qianzhu still sent him downstairs and said, "Thank you for your help and support. If you need me to help you with anything, you can always ask."

"You're welcome. Everything I give you is what you deserve."

Fu Yong sat on the sofa and waited for his niece to come back. Then he asked in confusion, "Are you really going to sell your shares in the snack shop?"

Fu Qianzhu nodded and said, "Well, I've always wanted to do this. All the knowledge I've studied is also for this ideal. Although it's very comfortable to stay in Snacks, but... after careful consideration, I still feel that I should do what I want to do most!"

Fu Yong said, "You can tell us after the New Year, why today?"

Fu Qianzhu smiled helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to speak again after the New Year. Besides, Snack Foods is now a big company. If a veteran like me withdraws, it will have some impact. Let him make some preparations in advance so that there won't be any trouble."

Fu Yong couldn't help but ask, "Is this really not an impulsive act?"

Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "Really?! Besides, after being taken care of for so long, I also want to do something on my own. Otherwise, how can I clear it up?"

After making this decision, Fu Qianzhu felt a lot more relaxed.

She didn't know whether she could succeed, but she had been working towards this goal since she was in college. Her family also supported her very much, and she didn't want this to become a regret in her life.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao started working together.

Although Zeng Wenjie's cooking skills are average, he grew up in the countryside after all, so he is very skillful at his work.

Zeng Mi...

She is completely useless in this area and can only help with small things.

The clever and skillful Feng Xiao was naturally the chef today. He worked hard all morning to prepare the dishes.

At noon, they ate dumplings made in the morning, one plate per person, with coins hidden in the dumplings.

Zeng Mi was the luckiest, having eaten a dumpling with a coin inside. She cheered with joy and said, "It seems I'm the luckiest this year, so I'll share some of my luck with you."

Feng Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Sister Zeng Mi is really a beautiful and kind person."

Zeng Mi said, "Shouldn't we dress festively for the New Year? Let's wear cheongsams tonight."

Feng Xiao refused with a cold face. He had just praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted, but now she started to use shady tricks. Who doesn't know that when she puts on a cheongsam, she will look like a flower in full bloom and all other flowers will be killed?

"Take a break and then start making lunch." Feng Xiao said.

"Are we going to start cooking lunch so early?" Zeng Mi couldn't help but ask.

Feng Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you see how many dishes we prepared? How could we possibly prepare so many dishes without spending an entire afternoon?"

Zeng Mi stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said, "I'll help you and learn some cooking skills at the same time."

Feng Xiao smiled and glanced at her, then stood up, stretched, and said, "Zeng Wenjie, please clean up the dishes. I'm going to take a nap. I'll be up in half an hour to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

Zeng Wenjie was the boss in the afternoon and couldn't help because the calls kept coming one after another.

He has to hit outwards, and others will hit back inwards.

Now, the call was from Qin Yixuan.

Senior Xiao Qin has also returned home to celebrate the New Year. As a slave in the General Administration, she finally got a chance to catch her breath.

"Wenjie, happy New Year's Eve. Didn't you go home for the New Year?" Qin Yixuan asked.

"Yes, it's a freezing disaster. It's too troublesome to go home, so I stayed in Fengzhou." Zeng Wenjie said.

"Wouldn't it be lonely for you to spend the New Year alone? I really want to come and keep you company!" Qin Yixuan said.

"It's a bit lonely being alone." Zeng Wenjie glanced in the direction of the kitchen and lied again without thinking.

During the time when Zeng Mi and Feng Xiao moved to Yunhu because of the freezing disaster, Zeng Wenjie lived like a tyrant, and the word "lonely" had nothing to do with him.

Qin Yixuan said, "How about I check the flight and come with you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "No need. If you get in by chance but can't get out, that would be bad."

Qin Yixuan said with a bit of regret: "That's true, you should have a good New Year's Eve by yourself, and you can call me anytime."

After ending the call, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but smile. Senior Qin was still as fragrant as ever.

After making sure that there were no more calls, Zeng Wenjie opened his laptop and processed the information on it.

It is already 2008, and this year, the Olympic Games will be held in Yanjing.

This year, Zeng Wenjie will not make any big moves. He will just continue to develop steadily and make WG's overseas business more prosperous. By the time "Dark Souls" is released in 2009, the team will have achieved great success.

As long as Game Science can consistently produce high-quality games and have them exclusively available on the WG platform, it won't be difficult for it to become one of the largest overseas gaming platforms.

Today, it is the career that started the latest that has become Zeng Wenjie's biggest support.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Feng Xiao prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Zeng Mi also contributed a lot, although she didn't really help much.

After setting the table with the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Xiao took off her apron, gently shook her hair, and said, "Huh, I'm so tired! Come on, let's eat the New Year's Eve dinner."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but put his hands on her shoulders and massaged them repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Zeng Mi also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Feng Xiao, you have worked hard. Leave the cleaning work to Zeng Wenjie!"

Zeng Wenjie's mouth twitched, and he said, "Zeng Mi, you're really good at it! Huh?"

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "If you give me a massage too, maybe I'll relent and help you clean up."

Feng Xiao said to Zeng Wenjie, "Head of the family, please sit down and speak."

Zeng Wenjie sat down and poured the wine, one glass for each person. After a moment's thought, he said, "There's nothing much to say. I'm really grateful to you two good sisters for spending the New Year with a lonely young man like me. Well... I hope everyone will be safe and happy after the New Year."

After saying this, he raised his glass, and the rich aroma of wine wafted into the air.

Zeng Mi and Feng Xiao also raised their glasses, and then the three of them clinked their glasses together and said in unison, "Cheers, Happy New Year's Eve!"

After drinking it all, I picked up my chopsticks and started eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Feng Xiao showed off his skills and cooked more than ten dishes, which were all delicious and the taste of each dish was impeccable.

While Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi were eating, they both felt a very warm feeling in their hearts, an emotion they had not experienced in many years.

"I've received a lot of care from you two over the past year. I'd like to offer you a toast." Zeng Mi's face flushed slightly. She raised her glass and said with a chuckle.

Feng Xiao smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll take care of you in the future as well."

Zeng Mi said, "I'm ashamed."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Xiaoxiao is right. We will be together for many years to come. Do you plan to be so polite every year?"

After hearing this, Zeng Mi felt warm in her heart. The thing people fear most is having nowhere to rely on, but now, she no longer has this feeling.

As a result, the lilac-like sadness and fragility that usually lingers in her temperament are much less common.

Zeng Mi has been spending the New Year alone these years.

This year, with Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao by my side, I felt that this year was very comfortable and meaningful.

The three of them ate and drank leisurely. At eight o'clock, they turned on the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating.

Feng Xiao glanced at Zeng Wenjie and asked, "The Spring Festival Gala every year must be very boring for you, right?"

Zeng Wenjie twitched his lips and said, "It's interesting, how can it be boring? The Spring Festival Gala is so good, I love watching it!"

Feng Xiao glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "It's already 2008!"

Zeng Wenjie filled her glass, curled his lips, and said, "So what?"

Zeng Mi asked, "What are you talking about? Why do I feel like I don't understand a word you're saying?"

Feng Xiao said, "This is a secret between us, I won't tell you. If you have the ability, guess it yourself!"

Zeng Mi said disdainfully: "I don't think it's a big deal. I don't want to guess."

Feng Xiao smiled. This was exactly why Zeng Wenjie was so amazing.

However, she wouldn't tell anyone because no one would believe her. It was enough for her to just keep it to herself.

Before they knew it, a bottle of white wine was shared among the three of them. Zeng Mi unscrewed the second bottle and said, "It's Chinese New Year, and good things come in pairs. Shouldn't we drink two bottles?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm just afraid you'll say 'Three more, more wealth' later."

Feng Xiao said, "The next one is Four Seasons of Prosperity."

"Fifty-three percent alcohol. If I had that ability, I would make you hug the toilet and kiss it every time." Zeng Mi snorted and filled the three cups again.

Looking at the three full glasses of wine, Zeng Mi's eyes lit up.

After leisurely finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, Zeng Wenjie and Zeng Mi cleaned up together, while Feng Xiao, who was tired after a day, sat on the sofa to watch the show.

Feng Xiao also felt very comfortable in his heart, but, as for a New Year like this, he was afraid that they would not have the chance to spend it together again in the future. At most, he could spend it with Zeng Mi.

But she will not be sad because of this. Instead, she feels that this year will be remembered for the rest of her life.

I was tired after a day of work, and after drinking seven or eight taels of white wine, my eyelids were drooping while watching TV.

Listening to Zeng Mi and Zeng Wenjie talking and laughing, Feng Xiao fell asleep peacefully.

"Feng Xiao is asleep!" Zeng Mi came out and took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Cooking is very tiring. Let her take a nap. Wake her up at twelve o'clock and we'll go set off fireworks together." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

He pulled Zeng Mi to sit aside and watch the show together.

But after watching for a while, I was disturbed by the ringing of my cell phone and had to continue answering the calls one by one.

Then, Zeng Wenjie called home and his grandmother answered the phone.

"Have you eaten?" grandma asked with concern.

"I'm well fed and well, and I feel great!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Grandma sighed and said, "Poor you, you can't come home and can only spend the New Year away from home."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I bought a house here, so it doesn't count as spending the New Year away from home. Haha, I'll take you to my new house next year to spend the New Year together."

Grandma kept chattering about her grandson.

Zeng Wenjie grinned. As expected, the grandson who is not at home is more loved. If he really goes home, he will be ignored!

After chatting with grandma for a while, I said a few words to grandpa. The old man usually doesn't talk much, but he expressed his concern on the phone.

"I'm so happy I don't want to leave!"

When Mu Qingyang answered the phone, Zeng Wenjie started calling out.

Mu Qingyang said shyly: "No, I think about you every day, okay? Besides, I see you on the news every day!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "I don't believe it. You must be having fun again."

After all, Mu Qingyang had been in Baishui Town for so long. In addition to the few familiar people, she had made quite a few friends. Moreover, she was very popular with the children and could play with them all.

"No, although it's fun, I miss you more! It would be more fun if you could be here!" Mu Qingyang argued cunningly.

"Is the new house comfortable to live in?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"It's comfortable, big and spacious! When the temperature rises, do you want to come back and stay there for a while?" Mu Qingyang asked.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm afraid I don't have the time. I have to visit various leaders and partners after the New Year. I can only wait for you to come back in Fengzhou."

Mu Qingyang said: "Okay, then I'll help you live here first!"

Zeng Wenjie said with a smile, "Why don't you help me collect more red envelopes? You will definitely have a big harvest tomorrow."

Before I knew it, it was almost midnight.

Zeng Wenjie went to wake up Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi.

Zeng Mi also fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

"Let's go set off the fireworks." Zeng Wenjie pulled the two of them up from the sofa and walked towards the backyard.

Feng Xiao yawned and said, "What's so good about this? You even woke me up on purpose. How childish!"

Zeng Mi said, "I don't want to miss it. If you think it's childish, just go back to sleep!"

"Tsk~" Feng Xiao rolled his eyes at her.

Although she said this, she didn't want to miss this special moment.

Arriving in the backyard, they moved all the fireworks to the open space. Zeng Wenjie lit the incense sticks and distributed them to Zeng Mi and Feng Xiao. He took out his phone to check the time and said, "Two minutes left. I'll count down and the three of us will light them together."

The cold wind still makes people shiver. There is air conditioning in the villa, but it is very uncomfortable to go outside.

Zeng Mi was weak and squatted on the ground, curled up in a ball.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of cannons and someone set off fireworks. She lit the fuse without waiting for Zeng Wenjie to count down.

Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly and said to Feng Xiao: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let her get ahead!"

Feng Xiao also smiled, thinking that Zeng Wenjie really took good care of Zeng Mi. Zeng Mi lit the fireworks before the countdown even started, but he did not blame her at all. Instead, he yelled at her to light them quickly.

After they were all lit, Zeng Mi hid aside and said a little embarrassedly: "I heard someone setting off firecrackers, so I couldn't help but light them."

Zeng Wenjie hugged her tremblingly and said, "It doesn't matter, the time is just right."

As they were talking, fireworks shot up into the sky, and then, people from all directions also set off fireworks at this time. The whole city became extremely lively in an instant.

The disaster caused by the freezing did not affect the good mood of Fengzhou people during the New Year.

Looking at the sky lit up by the blooming fireworks as if it were daytime, it seemed that the cold was dispelled. There was a smell of gunpowder in the air, which was quite pleasant, right?

"Go on, finish it!" Zeng Wenjie said loudly.

Feng Xiao immediately ran up happily and continued to set off fireworks.

Zeng Mi couldn't help but point her finger at her and said, "You pretentious fellow, what were you talking about just now as childish?!"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and pulled Zeng Mi over, saying, "Hurry up, don't let her finish it all by herself."

Zeng Mi suddenly woke up from a dream and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

The whole of China was bustling on this day, and the small courtyard of the villa was also bustling.

Half an hour later, all the fireworks were set off.

When Zeng Mi returned to the room, she discovered that there were three or four holes burned on her clothes, which made her laugh and cry.

"You're inexperienced, right? You can't wear clothes made of this material when setting off firecrackers. They will get burned when exposed to heat." Feng Xiao said sarcastically.

"Why didn't you remind me!" Zeng Mi complained.

Feng Xiao shrugged and said, "People can't teach people, but things can teach people, and they will learn it once they are taught!"

Zeng Mi glared at her resentfully and said, "This just gives me a legitimate reason to change clothes."

Feng Xiao was flexible and said, "Give me a way to live."

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "Okay, I forgive you and will leave you a chance to live."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Should we play video games or mahjong? You decide."

"Let's play mahjong. As a big boss, you have to spend some money during the New Year, right?" Feng Xiao said with a smile.

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "I'll pay out my money in advance. There's no emotion at the mahjong table."

After saying this, he took out two red envelopes, one for each of them, and said happily, "Happy New Year!"

Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi were both stunned.

"Thank you." Zeng Mi took it and thanked him with mixed emotions.

Although Feng Xiao looked calm, her emotions were also surging. After a moment, she nodded and said seriously, "Thank you."

Money is actually not important to them.

Feng Xiao had seen a lot of this before, and Zeng Mi had handled quite a few of them as well.

But this red envelope made me feel inexplicably touched in the heart, and a warm current surged up to my eyes, almost crying out.

"It's the second year." Zeng Wenjie suddenly sighed softly. It was impossible to say that his mood was not complicated.

Zeng Mi didn't think much about it, but Feng Xiao looked at him deeply and chuckled softly, "Happy two years old?"

Zeng Wenjie twisted her neck and chuckled, "You can guess as much as you want, I won't recognize it anyway."

Feng Xiao had a smile on her face. She felt that the world was really wonderful, and that this fate was also magical. Perhaps, there was no such thing as chance or coincidence in life, but only destiny.

After sitting down at the mahjong table, Zeng Mi said to Zeng Wenjie, "This New Year has been very meaningful to me. It seems to have filled the void left in my heart over the years."

Feng Xiao asked, "Isn't the body full?"

Zeng Mi couldn't help but reach out and poke her head, saying, "What a boring woman! Believe it or not, Wenjie will fire you later!"

Feng Xiao said: "This New Year is really meaningful. You are another year older."

Zeng Mi's defenses were broken. She slammed the table and roared, "Feng Xiao!"

Feng Xiao looked at her proudly and asked, "Sister Zeng Mi, could you please give me some advice?"

Zeng Mi said, "Doesn't it make you look a year older?"

Feng Xiao raised his finger and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm not thirty yet!"

Zeng Mi looked at Zeng Wenjie helplessly and said, "You take care of her."

Zeng Wenjie coughed, started the mahjong machine, and said with a smile: "Play mahjong, play mahjong, what's your ability? The truth will be revealed in your card skills, don't just talk! Whoever wins the most money will sleep with me, okay?"

"Go to hell...you are a bad guy too." Zeng Mi kicked him.

Zeng Mi grabbed her jade feet and asked, "Why are you rewarding me?"

Feng Xiao looked at this scene and thought it was quite amazing that three people with such a close relationship would get together to celebrate the New Year.

She couldn't help but look at Zeng Wenjie twice, and intuitively thought that this bastard must be extremely proud in his heart. Maybe he was imagining that he was a tyrant emperor from some dynasty, or a warlord who controlled a certain area.

Zeng Mi's card skills were not very good, which made Zeng Wenjie very suspicious that her high school career, in which she could compete with Ye Yixiuan for the top spot in the grade at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, was seriously rigged.

When it comes to mahjong, the better students are at their studies, the better they are at it.

However, Zeng Wenjie was not as ruthless as he had just said, but secretly cooperated with Zeng Mi, allowing her to win several times.

Feng Xiao saw this and felt a little helpless. This made her have a very bad gaming experience, okay?

Zeng Wenjie soon discovered something was wrong and hurriedly cooperated with Feng Xiao, allowing her to win several times.

Feng Xiao's mood improved instantly, and the smile on his face seemed much gentler.

After playing rounds of mahjong until dawn, this meaningful New Year's Eve finally came to an end.

Feng Xiao went to the kitchen to heat up last night's leftovers for breakfast. After eating, he took a nap.

All three of them slept until the afternoon, and their dinner was still yesterday's leftovers. After all, this was an ancestral custom.

Feng Xiao suddenly said to Zeng Wenjie: "When are you going to Yanjing? I want to go back too."

Zeng Wenjie was startled after hearing this and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Feng Xiao said, "You can handle it perfectly, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, I haven't seen my dad in years, it's time to go visit him."

Zeng Wenjie pinched his chin and said, "That place is not easy to get into."

Feng Xiao said, "I can still handle this little thing. Also, it's time to sweep my mother and brother's graves. Xu Yuhuan may not be willing to do these things, and I also want to tell her that I, Feng Xiao, can still return to Yanjing with a clear conscience."

Zeng Wenjie nodded without saying anything more.

Feng Xiao is the president of Marlennia.

Today, Malenia is also a company that can earn foreign exchange. Although the profit is not much, it is also the focus of attention.

Moreover, Zeng Wenjie is no longer the same as before. In addition, Jiucheng Capital has exposed Feng Xiao's past last time. There will be no problem for her to go back to visit and sweep the grave.

"That's a happy decision then." Feng Xiao said with a smile.

"Okay." Zeng Wenjie agreed.

Zeng Mi sighed, "I also want to go to Yanjing, but unfortunately I can't leave the province now."

Feng Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's good enough that you're not locked up. You still want to leave the province? Let's talk about it at least until next year!"

Zeng Mi's face fell, and he said, "In other words, I won't have the opportunity to study at Yenching University until the year after next at the earliest?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "That's the theory, but you never know. What if there's a chance of a turnaround?"

Feng Xiao said, "Why, Sister Zeng Mi, are you still going to Yanjing University to pretend to be a student? But at your age, you wouldn't look like one! Are you trying to paint an old cucumber green and pretend to be young?"

"Feng Xiao, sooner or later I will strangle you to death and then send you to the hell of tongue-pulling." Zeng Mi gritted his teeth and said with his cheeks puffed up.

Feng Xiao continued to laugh, saying, "You don't have to go to Yenching University to act young. Why don't you buy a set of JK pants and put them on for Zeng Wenjie to see?"

Zeng Mi asked, "What good would it do if I died of anger at you?"

Feng Xiao asked, "What do you think?"

Zeng Mi couldn't help but hit Zeng Wenjie, which made Feng Xiao laugh so hard that he fell over.

Around the sixth day of the New Year, Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi left Yunhu and returned to their residence.

Zeng Wenjie first went to Zeng Mi to help find someone to repair the water pipes and replaced them with better quality pipes to avoid them from freezing and bursting again.

As for Feng Xiao, the landlord took care of it, which was quite convenient.

The weather has improved a bit in recent days, but the average temperature is still zero degrees and the cold wave has not completely passed.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, which happened to be Valentine's Day on February 14th, the temperature had completely warmed up. The news reported that the cold wave had completely passed. The whole city celebrated and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeng Wenjie chose this day to call Yan Xinyi.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Xinyi."

"Valentine's Day? What should I be happy about?" Yan Xinyi hummed softly.

"I just received a notice from the top ten in the country and will come to Yanjing in a few days." Zeng Wenjie said.

At this time, Yan Xinyi had already returned to Yanjing to start work. When she heard that Zeng Wenjie would come to Yanjing in a few days, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

The last time we met and parted, both seemed very hasty.

But I just happened to fall into this haste...

Yan Xinyi pretended to be calm and said, "I've been extremely busy since the beginning of the new year. I'm afraid I don't have much time to receive you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "It's okay. It's nice to meet you. Oh, by the way, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Zeng Wenjie gave Yan Xinyi a set of Forbidden City series accessories. This set of accessories was named "Feng Yi Tian Xia". It is quite gorgeous and not cheap.

Yan Xinyi liked the gift very much and often wore it.

"I'm satisfied. I wear it every day." Yan Xinyi said happily.

"Well... WG will spend a lot of money on overseas development this year. I will tell you in detail after I arrive in Yanjing." Zeng Wenjie said.

"Okay!" Yan Xinyi said with a smile.

After receiving the call, Yan Xinyi started to worry about how she should dress on the day of the meeting and which outfit would look best.

Zeng Wenjie also called Qin Yixuan and told him that this kid was destined to go further and further on the path of a time assassin.

Qin Yixuan was also very happy when he learned that he would come to Yanjing in the future. Moreover, the call came on Valentine's Day, which inevitably made Qin Yixuan more worried.

"I'll lay a solid foundation in these four years of college, and then start enjoying my immoral life." Zeng Wenjie thought happily.

The next day, he was invited to attend a commendation meeting.

The conference was convened by the provincial government to specially commend those who contributed their enthusiasm and kindness during this cold wave.

As the "son" of Chongshan Province, Zeng Wenjie performed so well during the cold wave, fought disasters everywhere, and donated various supplies and money. How could he not be commended?

The most important thing is that bigwigs from Yanjing attended this commendation conference and they awarded medals to the winners.

Senior brother Zhuang Aimin is very reliable. He specially called Zeng Wenjie in advance and introduced him to several big guys.

The bosses had heard of his name a long time ago, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was well-known, because young people like him were really rare.

"This young man has a really good spirit and upright character. I think he can represent the spirit of our country's new generation!" The boss praised Zeng Wenjie with great appreciation.

Zeng Wenjie said politely, "I'm just doing things according to my heart. I appreciate your praise."

Zhuang Aimin was stunned for a moment. After he had left the room, he took a deep breath and said to Zeng Wenjie, "Do you know what that sentence just now meant?"

Zeng Wenjie was startled and asked, "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

Zhuang Aimin said softly, "You may not only be our Chongshan's signboard in the future, but you may also become the representative of the younger generation of the entire country and step into higher-level occasions."

Zeng Wenjie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he slowly said, "A speech at the United Nations?"

Zhuang Aimin was stunned and said, "You really understand it so quickly?"

Zeng Wenjie was thinking, the hypocritical girl who pretended to love environmental protection could go to the United Nations, and she could go to draw the Snow Leopard of the fifth generation of Yolke, but why couldn't he, Zeng Wenjie, go?

The commendation conference was broadcast live, and almost everyone who was familiar with Zeng Wenjie watched it.

Feng Xiao and Zeng Mi were watching it together. She felt that she had almost completed this development game, right?
