Chapter 235 The high-ranking official who stepped down from his pedestal is actually quite down-to-earth~ Kiss him! Kiss him!

These elders clearly didn't want to let Fu Yanshen off the hook either, and each of them played their cards the way they were supposed to.

The house was bustling with activity, and some younger relatives even came over to call Xia Mian "sister-in-law".

Xia Mian was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond.

She and Fu Yanshen are not married yet!

Why are these mischievous kids even calling her "sister-in-law" now?!

Madam Fu was delighted and instructed the housekeeper to distribute all the red envelopes she had prepared to the younger generation.

Everyone happily exchanged blessings and excitedly opened their red envelopes.

After all, the old lady was very generous.

Others gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Anyway, it was very lively.

Shen Yingshuang was also there. She wasn't familiar with these relatives of the Fu family, but everyone knew she was Xia Mian's mother. Several aunts and uncles dragged her together to play Dou Dizhu (a card game), and if she lost, they would throw slips of paper at her face.

But no one expected that Shen Yingshuang was actually a master of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)!

She played all night and only had a sticker on her face once!

The other aunts and uncles all had red paper strips pasted on their faces because it was Chinese New Year.

As a result, the red paper strips bled, staining the faces of several aunts and uncles, making them look red, as if they had deliberately applied red rouge.

Grandma Fu was even happier, smiling from ear to ear.

At midnight, the twins ran out to set off firecrackers, and the Fu family also set off a grand fireworks display.

Xia Mian stood on the balcony of her bedroom, gazing at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, feeling somewhat amazed.

Fu Yanshen stood behind her, reaching out his arms to encircle her slender waist.

Do you like it?

"like!"

"Since you like her, shouldn't you reward me with a New Year's kiss?" Fu Yanshen smiled, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Xia Mian's cheeks flushed, and she tiptoed to gently kiss the man's thin lips.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it disappears in a flash.

Fu Yanshen, however, had no intention of letting her go. He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

He didn't release her until the fireworks ended. Xia Mian's legs were weak, and she could only lean against his chest and breathe softly.

"Happy New Year!" Fu Yanshen kissed her forehead again. "May Mianmian be safe and healthy year after year."

"Happy New Year!" Xia Mian wanted to kiss his forehead like he did, but she couldn't reach it even on tiptoe; the man was just too tall.

I had no choice but to hook my arm around his neck and gesture for him to bend down slightly.

Fu Yanshen lowered his head in agreement, and Xia Mian kissed his forehead, "Wishing Shen Shen peace and joy year after year."

She imitated his tone of voice and also imitated his use of reduplicated words.

Fu Yanshen looked at her with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection, "You!"

They actually dared to call him Shen Shen!

The fireworks faded, and everyone dispersed, heading back to their rooms to sleep.

Today is the day when the Fu Family Manor is the most crowded and lively of the year.

Tomorrow morning, everyone will get up early to eat reunion dumplings together, a tradition for the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Fu Yanshen held Xia Mian in his arms and kissed her on the bed for a long time before letting her go.

Despite the freezing weather, he actually went and took a cold shower before lying down.

Xia Mian was genuinely worried; wouldn't it break down?

What if he really breaks down in the future?

At six o'clock in the morning, the whole family gathered at the main villa again. Last night, everyone stayed in other buildings in the estate.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant, some chopping vegetables, some mincing meat, and some rolling out dumpling wrappers—they were all bustling about.

Madam Fu prepared another round of red envelopes for the children, and they lined up to receive them, each saying a different blessing.

Xia Mian also gave away all the New Year's gifts she had prepared for everyone.

In contrast, things were bustling and lively at the Fu family's place.

The Xia family home was rather deserted in comparison.

Shen Yingshuang went to spend the New Year with Xia Mian, leaving only Old Madam Xia, the three Xia brothers, and Lu Lian'er at the Xia family home.

Lu Lian'er naturally accepted the red envelope and immediately posted it on her WeChat Moments, wanting to provoke Xia Mian.

"Thank you Grandma and brother for the red envelopes. Lian'er will always love you! Happy New Year!"

This red envelope is quite large, probably around 50,000 yuan.

However, it was far inferior to what Xia Mian received.

When Xia Mian saw it, she gave a cold laugh.

Reply below, "Hey? Why didn't your godmother send you one? Did she forget?"

Lu Lian'er retorted angrily, "Your godmother is right here, and you still ask such questions? You must be a tea bum!"

"Tea? I learned it from you! Hehe, your godmother kept me company last night to welcome the New Year, and then had dumplings with me early this morning. Aren't you envious?" Xia Mian replied to Lu Lian'er, and then felt quite bored.

Why bother with someone like Lu Lian'er?

Ignoring her and disregarding her is what she deserves.

As the boss of Muqiwei Company, Xia Mian also sent red envelopes to everyone in the work group, and!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but she specially paid extra for the delivery fee to send the New Year's benefits to all her employees this morning.

Even those who went back to their hometowns or villages received them!

Everyone, regardless of gender, received designer jewelry that matched their tastes and aesthetics, as well as a 50-gram 999 gold ingot!

The employees who had only received their year-end bonuses were quite happy.

After all, this year-end bonus is much more generous than what they used to receive at their previous companies!

I didn't expect there to be a surprise on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Everyone was overjoyed and started posting all sorts of things on their WeChat Moments, social media platforms, and short videos.

This post went viral and became an instant sensation on Douyin!

For many years, the videos posted by employees have received at least 10,000 comments and over 100,000 likes, with the most popular video even receiving over a million likes!

This shows how much suffering workers endure.

"My company gave me a blank slate!"

"I am a cow or a horse, and I am not happy at all."

"Sister, just give me this jewelry, you can keep the gold nugget."

"Brother, is your company still hiring? I'd like to apply right now!"

"Oh my god! I'm kneeling in despair! Why does such a great boss belong to someone else?!"

"I'm so envious, so envious, I shed tears as red as lemons."

...

Mu Qiwei immediately became a trending topic, dominating several search terms on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Especially during the Lunar New Year, when everyone is at home with nothing to do, either visiting relatives and friends or scrolling through short videos, netizens are starting to show off their company's benefits and their year-end bonuses.

In the end, it turned out... well, Mu Qiwei is still the most generous!

Some big companies offer extremely high year-end bonuses, but they are big companies! There's no comparison!

What is Muqiwei? It's a small company that was founded only half a year ago! They started by making short dramas and signed a few minor internet celebrities and actors, none of whom are big stars!

This small company treats its employees like human beings! They pamper them like babies!

The migrant workers shed tears of envy and bittersweetness.

Many people are starting to speculate about who the company's owner is. Is it screenwriter Mu Qiwei?
