Before we knew it, the Spring Festival of 1990 had arrived.
This year, Chen Xia and Gu Lin were 28 years old, Chen Chun and Zheng Haisheng were both 31 years old, and their youth had gradually drifted away from them.
Moreover, several of them are now in an "unemployed state". The four of them resigned together before, and I don't know whether they can get unemployment benefits these days.
But there are also benefits. Zheng Haisheng has completely become the full-time head of "Minglu Laboratory" and is no longer in the "part-time status" as before.
Chen Chun also has free time to spend with her son. Once the Four Seasons Hospital is built, she will transform into a strong woman again.
Chen Qiu was 24 years old and had started his internship in his fifth year of college. Uh, he went straight to the Mayo Clinic in the United States for his internship. His mentor was the most famous hepatobiliary surgeon, Benjamin...
Chen Dongxin is 20 years old and in his third year of high school. He was held back a grade and will take the college entrance examination this year.
After three years of intensive tutoring by his teacher, Chen Laosi's grades finally improved and getting into university was no longer a problem for him.
As long as he reaches the undergraduate level, Chen Xia has plenty of ways to send him to any university he wants to go to in the country.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief. Who said tutoring was useless? Anyone who said it was useless was either stupid or evil.
So this Chinese New Year, Chen Dong had the best life. He no longer trembled like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw his elder sister like before.
Chen Zijin, Chen Zipei and Chen Ziyu are all 6 years old this New Year. It is said that they are the top kids in the kindergarten.
But perhaps because they have seen more, the triplets are all more outgoing and not shy, which is what Chen Xia is most satisfied with.
Especially the youngest daughter, Youyou, who is so ladylike, so cute, and so beautiful, is like an angel to Chen Xia. (Gu Lin loudly disagrees)
Chen Jiang from my second uncle's family is 22 years old this year and is currently studying for a preparatory course in Hong Kong. The English teaching in Xinjiang Province is so poor that foreigners probably cannot understand the English spoken by the foreign language teachers themselves.
Now Chen Jiang lives and eats at his great-grandfather's house. He is picked up and dropped off by a driver every day and lives the life of a "young master".
Since arriving in Hong Kong, he sent a letter home but received no reply. Perhaps both parties were disappointed in each other.
During the Spring Festival of 1990, Chen Xia's whole family celebrated the New Year together at his great-grandfather's house in Xiangjiang.
In 1989, Chen Xia spent the Spring Festival alone in Qinghai. At that time, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and it was not easy to travel long distances, so he did not move.
Although the ethnic minorities there don't celebrate the Han Chinese New Year, as an employee who aspires to make progress, can you tolerate the director spending the New Year alone?
So everyone sang and danced, and had a bonfire party. Everyone roasted a whole lamb, drank barley wine, and performed folk dances.
Chen Xia felt like he had some bad intentions. The prettiest nurse, Tseten Tsedup, might even stay in the dean's quarters. Ahem.
In the Chen family villa in Repulse Bay.
Chen Xia's family and his great-grandfather's family gathered together to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
There was one table for adults and another for children. Old man Chen Defa was grinning from ear to ear, and he gave out New Year's money without hesitation, making the children so happy that they cried with excitement.
As for the elderly, all they want is to have a house full of children and grandchildren and to be surrounded by their loved ones.
As for money, how much can an old man spend? Chen Defa doesn't even want a chairman's salary. The rent from his own apartment on Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok is enough to provide him with a comfortable life.
Chen Shuqin had been discussing his resignation with Chen Xia:
"Xiao Xia, don't be angry. It's a good thing that you resigned. Do we, the Chen family, still have to depend on the Li family for what they think? Who do they think they are? Now that everything is fine, you can focus on your career, and my burden will be a little lighter."
Chen Shuqin has been a very busy person over the years.
Chen Xia is a hands-off boss. Whenever you have a new idea, just mention it to her. As a result, it is her job to set up a new company, build the company framework, recruit staff, etc.
Chen Shuqin felt that although she had status and was a force that no one could ignore in the wealthy circle of Hong Kong, she had lost her personal time.
How long has it been since I went shopping and had coffee with my besties? I'm almost like a work robot.
At this time, the great grandfather also interrupted and said:
"Exactly. You have a business, but you chose to become a small dean and even got exiled to Qinghai? You must have predicted the domestic situation. If it were in the past, I would have personally gone to the capital to ask the Li family and the leaders, are our Chen family so easy to bully? How could they treat patriotic Hong Kong businessmen like us like this?"
Chen Qiu burst out laughing:
"Grandpa, if you were to personally take action, who would bully whom? The Li family would be scared to death, hahahaha."
Chen Defa also laughed out loud: "Xiao Qiu is right, I will scare them to death and vent your brother's anger."
Everyone at the table laughed.
Aunt Chen Shufen considerately placed a large piece of fish into Chen Xia's bowl:
"Come, Xiaoxia, try this yellow croaker. I reserved it a long time ago, and now it costs several thousand yuan per pound."
My uncle-in-law Dai Ning is currently the general manager of Four Seasons Textile Company. He works diligently and is very competent. Chen Xia is not stingy and gave him 20 million Hong Kong dollars in year-end dividends alone.
So Chen Shufen now also flatters her husband's boss. Although she was not cold to Chen Xia before, she didn't have much enthusiasm for him either.
Chen Xia picked up the fish and put it in his mouth:
"What's done is done. Anyway, Li Jun is being held captive in Yuezhou. He can't be transferred unless he resigns. I don't believe we can't wear him down."
"So what are your plans for work next year?"
Chen Xia was about to answer when the servant came over.
"Master, Margaret Hospital called and said Mr. Xu had a sudden illness and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Chen Defa was stunned. "Which Mr. Xu?"
"It's Mr. Xu Longfeng. The hospital said he had a sudden heart attack and his condition is very critical."
Chen Defa's face changed and he stood up immediately. "Shuqin, Xiaoxia, follow me now."
Xu Longfeng is his old superior and also a friend for decades. The two families fled to Hong Kong from the mainland together. During the most difficult years, they always supported each other and moved forward, which is why they were not swallowed up by the local Hong Kong community.
So the relationship between the two is not like that of brothers, but better than that of real brothers.
In the car, Chen Shuqin held her father's hand tightly and comforted him softly: "Dad, don't worry, Uncle Xu will be fine."
"Alas, he's getting old. He collapsed so suddenly. I was planning to go to his house to wish him a happy new year tomorrow morning. This, this, this... Alas..."
The Rolls-Royce was speeding along the empty road.
At the same time, in Margaret's emergency room, Xu Longfeng was lying on the hospital bed with a very painful expression. Zhu Wenhao, director of the Department of Cardiology, frowned as he looked at the high ST segment on the electrocardiogram.
