Chapter 214
"It's so dangerous to be a narcotics officer, why is he doing this?"
"When he was in school, the types of police he wanted to be were either criminal police or narcotics police. I'm not surprised that he became a narcotics police officer."
After the two of them finished chatting about this, someone came over from the other side and changed the subject to something else. The two of them had a meal together and went to watch a movie they hadn't seen before.
It was already twelve o'clock when they got home. The two were on the phone, talking about some meaningless things, but neither of them was willing to hang up. When Lin Shuyue got up the next day, the phone was automatically turned off due to the calls.
In this era, there was no very portable way to recharge your phone, and you could only go to a store outside to buy recharge cards. After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Shuyue bought a recharge card and went to the newspaper office.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the atmosphere in the newspaper office begins to become festive. At the end of the year, everyone is not so busy. After work, everyone will get together to discuss holiday plans.
Most of the married lesbians were talking about what they needed to buy for the New Year at home.
Those who are not married yet talk about what kind of clothes to buy for the New Year and whose winter clothes are particularly beautiful.
Li Mingfang was an outlier among them, but what she said was different. She was asking whose gold was of better quality and whose jade was the most authentic.
In response to her question, everyone's eyes fell on Li Weisheng, who was still wearing a plaster cast but was determined to come to work at the newspaper every day.
"Mingfang, are you and Asheng going to get married soon?" Everyone in the newspaper office knew about the office romance between Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang.
Li Mingfang glanced at Li Weisheng, then nodded generously: "Yes, we have planned to get engaged. But the date has not been decided yet. When it is decided, I will send out invitations to everyone. Everyone remember to come."
Li Weisheng also echoed: "Yes, everyone must come when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll definitely go when the time comes." The office suddenly became lively.
Someone asked Li Mingfang: "But when you get engaged, shouldn't your mother-in-law give you the gold and jade as a gift? Why do you have to buy them yourself?"
"Don't I have some savings? I just want to buy some before I get married." Li Mingfang's mother likes gold very much, and she wants to buy some gold jewelry for her mother before she gets married.
Although her mother didn't need it, she had been her mother's daughter for more than ten years and was about to get married, so she wanted to give her mother a gift.
"A wise choice." The married elder sister gave Li Mingfang a thumbs up and said, "Let me tell you, Jin Fengxiang is pretty good. I worked hard last year and I want to buy some gold jewelry to reward myself. Let's go together then."
"Okay. It's settled."
"Me, me, I'll buy one too." Lin Shuyue also joined the ranks of people buying gold. The baby in Lin Shuxing's belly was about to be born, so she had to prepare some longevity locks and the like.
In her previous life, when Lin Shuyue was shopping in a mall, she saw some gold shops making spoons and chopsticks with gold and silver. At that time, Lin Shuyue thought it was beautiful and cute, and had a good meaning, so she wanted to arrange it for her nephew/niece whom she had not yet met.
"Let's go together." There is no female comrade who doesn't like gold, so the team buying gold quickly grew to more than ten people.
A small half of them are unmarried. When they get bonuses at the end of the year, they also want to buy themselves some nice jewelry.
Seeing that they were discussing enthusiastically, some gay men also joined in. They didn't know how to judge the quality of jewelry, so they asked people they were close to to help them choose.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and gold jewelry is quite a present whether you are giving it to your mother or your wife.
After discussion, a group of people set the date two days later, which was the 25th day of the lunar calendar. The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when newspapers distribute bonuses, and it is also a time for holidays.
So on this day, Wang Mingzheng booked a restaurant. After distributing the bonuses in the afternoon, he could go there to eat at six o'clock. =
The 26th was also busy on this day. They were backed by the Dingsheng Group owned by Boss Xun, and they had a year-end party for all their employees.
This year-end party was also a celebration party, and the prizes were exceptionally generous. It was said that the special prize was a house.
Some of Lin Shuyue’s predecessors who were drawn to Xijiang Apartment were present, and everyone was looking forward to the year-end party.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the newspaper office, whether they had a good relationship with Lin Shuyue or not, came over to shake hands with Lin Shuyue.
The men felt embarrassed, but they all sat down at Lin Shuyue's workstation.
Lin Shuyue, the main character, was forced to stand aside, and she was not allowed to sit there.
Lin Shuyue held the snacks handed to her by her colleagues, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Li Mingfang had walked to the side of Lin Shuyue without knowing when, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "Ayue, why do I feel like you are a ticket inspector who collects entrance fees?"
It would have been better if Li Mingfang didn't say anything, but once she said it, Lin Shuyue couldn't help it. At this time, another colleague stuffed a bag of plums into Lin Shuyue's hand.
Boy, more like it.
Xiao He at the front desk leaned back in his workstation and laughed: "A house, so many people have worked hard all their lives to buy it, and it's a Dingsheng property, famous for its good quality, who wouldn't want it?"
"I want to hold A Yue in my arms and sleep for a while, so that I can enjoy the blessing." As soon as Xiao He said this, the female comrades looked at Lin Shuyue with something strange in their eyes.
"Young people are quick to think. I think it's okay, Ayue, shall we go to your house at noon today?"
"Okay, okay, okay." The interpersonal relationships in the newspaper office were simple. Everyone had been together for so long without any conflicts, and no one had any bad habits. None of them were the kind of people who would take advantage of small benefits, so Lin Shuyue agreed.
So after getting off work at noon and finishing their lunch in the cafeteria, a group of more than a dozen people went to Lin Shuyue's home in Xijiang Apartment.
Everyone lay down on the big bed in Lin Shuyue's room and soon fell into a deep sleep. Some of them couldn't sleep well, so they slept on the floor next to the bed.
They had no other ideas but to take advantage of Lin Shuyue's good luck. While working in the afternoon, Lin Shuyue got a lot of fruit snacks, and she would carry them back home with her when she got home in the evening.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye it is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone has to hand in the articles that the leaders have assigned to be written during the holidays. This needs to be done in advance to prevent the articles from being left unfinished one day. You can't just rely on reposting, right? You have to have some content of your own.
It was already afternoon when everyone lined up at the finance office to collect their wages.
Lin Shuyue's salary plus bonus totaled 50,000. This is undoubtedly a huge fortune in this era.
But both the leader and Lin Shuyue felt that they deserved such a large bonus.
The first year after Lin Shuyue got the money, she prepared to buy a house. However, this time, what she wanted to buy was not a pre-built commercial house in a residential area, but a small two-story house she built in the village.
Lin Shuyue saw that house on her way to work a few days ago. The house was not big, with only one floor covering more than 100 square meters.
It is located at the end of the village, in a not very good location. The house was built in the 1980s and the lighting inside the house is not very ideal. But the total price of the two floors is not expensive, just over 100,000 yuan. The first floor can be rented out to someone to open a small store, and the second floor can be used for living. The annual rent is at least four or five thousand yuan.
Lin Shuyue, who possessed the memories of her previous life, knew that it would not be long before a subway would be connected. By then, the prices of houses in this area would skyrocket. In a few years, a university branch would be built here, and the demolition compensation would be in the tens of millions.
Investing now is definitely worth it.
While her colleagues who were planning to buy gold jewelry were still receiving their salaries, Lin Shuyue called the owner of the house and agreed to see the house again tomorrow.
She waited patiently.
Half an hour later, after the last colleague received his salary, everyone headed towards a nearby shopping mall. On the first floor of the mall was Jin Fengxiang's gold shop.
As the year was coming to an end, Jin Feng Xiang also had a discount sale. Lin Shuyue looked around and decisively bought a bracelet, a longevity lock, and a set of gold bowls and gold spoons.
After buying the gold jewelry, the group of women went straight to the clothing mall on the second floor and shopped there from 3:30 to 5:00. Following this shopping trend, Lin Shuyue also followed suit and bought a few sets of clothes.
Because her outfits were beautiful, she even helped her colleagues put together several outfits.
At five-twenty, a group of people ran to the restaurant that Wang Mingzheng had booked.
This restaurant is famous for its taro chicken. As soon as Lin Shuyue entered the restaurant, she smelled a strong aroma of taro.
Lin Shuyue and her friends found a table and sat down to chat with everyone. It was very noisy around and everyone had to speak loudly.
The leaders sitting at the table with Wang Mingzheng and Huang Qiang were all sitting together and talking. Li Weisheng's uncle, the president of the advertising department, kept touching his belly when he was talking about something happy.
Li Mingfang leaned close to Lin Shuyue and said, "Ayue, you know what happened? After everyone got off work last night, the leaders of our unit took turns sitting in your seat for a long time."
Lin Shuyue exclaimed, then burst out laughing: "They are quite funny."
"That's right. During the day, I'm not afraid of having to work at your station, which will affect my image. At night, we take turns to work. We are all part of the leadership team, so it's not embarrassing."
"Then how did you know that?"
"Asheng said that there was a dinner party at his house last night, and my uncle said he would take him home. He waited from the time he got off work until dark, and he got so impatient that he kept sending me messages."
As soon as Li Mingfang said this, Lin Shuyue could imagine how depressed Li Weisheng was when he sent the message to Li Mingfang.
At six o'clock, all the colleagues from the unit arrived, and the hotel kitchen started serving the dishes and wine. As usual, Wang Mingzheng gave a summary of the work in the past year, motivating everyone and hoping to do better next year. He didn't say much nonsense after that, and hoped that everyone would eat and drink well.
Lin Shuyue followed the example of her predecessors, drank a glass with the leaders, and then sat down to taste the food. Soon, people came with glasses in hand to toast them one by one.
As a prominent figure in the newspaper in the past year, there was an endless stream of people toasting Lin Shuyue.
After dinner, a group of people decided to go sing. Lin Shuyue howled with her colleagues for a long time and drank a lot of beer. When she felt a little dazed and suffocated, she got up and went to the bathroom of the KTV.
It was about ten meters from the toilet to the large private room they booked. Lin Shuyue texted Hang Jiabai as she walked.
When turning the corner and entering the box room, Lin Shuyue subconsciously glanced at the box next to her. At one glance, she saw the man sitting in the middle of the box.
The man had dyed hair in a yellow-red gradient, and on each side sat a young girl in cool clothes.
This is not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing is that the man looks exactly like Zuo Xiangfeng from the capital!
"Ayue, what are you doing standing at the door? Come and roll the dice. They are too good. I can't beat them."
Li Mingfang looked at Lin Shuyue who was standing at the door and called out immediately. Lin Shuyue responded and walked in.
She didn't notice that after she entered the door, the man who looked like Zuo Xiangfeng and was chatting enthusiastically with the girl in the next box glanced at the door where she had just stood.
"Brother Afeng, what are you looking at? Do you know the beautiful girl just now?"
"What, are you jealous? She's so pretty and you won't let me take another look at her? Come on, keep going, it's my turn to fire you, three ones!"
"Wow, I lost again, Brother Feng, you are so mean, you don't know how to be gentle with women at all~"
The pretentious voice was so sweet that it made people sick. The cool stage lights shone on him, and the man called Afeng didn't even look at the door again.
