After the company dinner, everyone went their separate ways.
Lin Zhiyuan came to his senses and searched everywhere for Chen Dong's whereabouts.
It was only during this search that he noticed that Chen Dong and Wolong had left sometime earlier.
Jiang Fei pointed towards the door, hiccuping as he said, "Brother Dong left a long time ago. Speaking of which, we're all going to play cards tonight, so you can't run away."
Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said fiercely, "Well, you dare to show off to us after getting such a big red envelope. Call Hua Zi and we'll win back all the money you used to buy the car."
The group argued and bickered, but eventually left the restaurant to enjoy themselves.
...
As the New Year approaches, every household in Shenzhen is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations under the night sky.
Children are often happiest at this time.
Even at night, you can see children playing in front of their homes on the streets and alleys.
As Chen Dong walked through the familiar streets, a sense of peace washed over him.
As they walked, Chen Dong said casually, "Wolong, prepare some gifts. We need to do something after the New Year."
"Yes, boss."
Wolong accompanied Chen Dong all the way, watching him walk into his home before leaving to take care of the tasks Chen Dong had entrusted to him.
The house was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the maids gathered together, busy arranging the rooms.
Everyone greeted Chen Dong with smiles when he returned.
Chen Dong smiled, took out some red envelopes, and gave them to all the maids in his house.
"elder brother!"
"elder brother!"
With two childish shouts, the third and fourth sisters ran out happily.
Both little girls had red noses, clearly indicating they had just been playing outside.
The eldest sister, Chen Nan, followed closely behind. She was also very happy to see Chen Dong return.
Chen Dong carried his fourth sister in one arm and pulled his third sister along with the other, walking towards the house.
Seeing this, Chen Nan laughed and said, "You two, all you know how to do is stick to your second brother."
Then she looked at Chen Dong and said, "I thought you were going to stay in Hong Kong for the New Year."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled and said, "No matter where I am, it's only New Year's when I go home."
The siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time. After chatting for a while, Chen Dong learned that his parents had gone to bed early, so he didn't disturb them.
Nothing was said that night, and the next day was the Spring Festival.
According to local custom, people often don't have time to eat anything in the morning and start preparing lunch from the morning.
In addition to lunch, a string of firecrackers is set off to celebrate the New Year.
To Chen Dong's surprise, Yulia actually came.
Yulia was very happy when the two met.
This time, Yulia made a special trip to Shenzhen to spend the Spring Festival with Chen Dong.
When everyone gathers together, it's inevitable that everyone will have a few drinks at the dinner table.
Chen Xuelin opened a bottle of Moutai, which Chen Nan took and poured for everyone.
"This is our first New Year in Shenzhen, cheers!"
Chen Xuelin has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed.
Chen Dong's expression was quite subtle.
Julia picked up her wine glass and leaned closer curiously.
Then, she raised her hand and tilted her head back, finishing the glass of baijiu in one gulp.
Chen Xuelin clicked his tongue in amazement.
Yulia smacked her lips, her face flushed, and said excitedly, "Chen, what kind of wine is this? It tastes better than Erguotou!"
Chen Dong glanced at it and thought to himself, "How could it not taste good? This is Moutai, after all."
It's important to understand that at that time, Moutai was far superior to anything that would be comparable to in later generations.
Yulia was very interested in the flavor of the sauce-flavored technology, drinking one cup after another, even forgetting Chen Dong's previous instructions.
As they drank, Chen Nan also got into the mood and insisted on having a drinking contest with Yulia.
As Yulia picked up the liquor bottle and started banging it around, Chen Nan was already leaning back in his chair, drawing circles with one hand.
At this moment, Yulia was still not satisfied.
She sat there obediently, drinking her wine by herself.
Her doll-like appearance now seems somewhat aggrieved.
Chen Xuelin couldn't stand it anymore. The guest hadn't finished drinking, so the host hadn't been hospitable enough.
So Chen Xuelin raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, let me have a couple of drinks with you. It's the New Year, so if you like drinking, let's drink as much as we want."
"Dad... have you forgotten how you got drunk last time?" Chen Dong couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan, the eldest brother-in-law, hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said, "Dad, let me drink with her. You should drink less, otherwise Chen Nan will scold me again when she wakes up."
Neither of them would back down, so they immediately started drinking.
As a result, Chen Xuelin and Lin Zhiyuan were both drunk by Yulia during the meal.
In the end, she was helped back to her room to rest by the family's maid.
When it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Xuelin finally sobered up and inevitably got a scolding from Xiao Xinyi.
Yulia, on the other hand, was in high spirits and immediately opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuelin immediately coughed and said, "Oh dear, my throat isn't feeling too good. Xuelin, you have a drink for me."
Lin Zhiyuan looked embarrassed and wished he could disappear into the ground.
Seeing his family members being subdued by Yulia's drinking prowess, Chen Dong couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
During this time, Yulia stayed in Pengcheng, accompanying Chen Dong.
In the following days, Chen Dong traveled around Shenzhen and met many people.
Chen Dong personally visited all the relevant leaders in Pengcheng.
The gift that Wolong prepared was for this very purpose.
The last person Chen Long visited was Liu Huiming.
Wolong was very capable; the gift he gave to Liu Huiming was the best he could have prepared.
Chen Dong and Liu Huiming met at Liu's house.
