Xingchen Technology's holiday starts earlier than other companies, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. For the next few days, employees who volunteer to work overtime take turns on duty at the company.
Some might ask, how could there possibly be employees who voluntarily work overtime?
If the daily overtime pay is 1,000 yuan and the meal allowance is 100 yuan, and there are no emergencies or urgent work at the company, then you can just play games and eat snacks...
Given these conditions, many local employees would still be willing to accept them.
After all, going home only means being pressured to go on blind dates.
However, Zhang Yiming is still at the company. Although his year-end bonus was reduced by one million yuan because he complained about Lin Chen's heartlessness every day, he still loves Xingchen Technology.
Because Douyin, which he developed, will be featured on this year's Spring Festival Gala!
Yes, with the help of the Shanghai government, Xingchen Technology successfully became the title sponsor of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
When Lin Chen first proposed the concept of Douyin, he thought the app was just so-so, and who would spend so much time watching videos?
But when the software was developed and the female streamers on Panda TV uploaded all sorts of singing and dancing videos, he discovered that time accelerators really do exist in this world.
I opened TikTok and it felt like I'd only been scrolling for a short while, but an hour had already passed.
Zhang Yiming initially thought it was just his imagination, but after the software began testing within Xingchen Technology, everyone had the same feeling.
It turns out that the time accelerator in the movie "Little Days" actually exists in reality!
Zhang Yiming originally planned to spend a lot of money to learn from Weibo and invite celebrities to join Douyin, but Lin Chen said it wasn't necessary.
Because celebrities of this era don't spend time making videos to please their fans, they are not suitable for Douyin.
Finally, Lin Chen suggested that instead of spending a lot of money to invite celebrities to join, they should use the hundreds of millions of yuan spent on inviting celebrities to create a creator support program.
The goal is to attract and encourage more beautiful women and internet celebrities to post videos on Douyin. Once Douyin becomes popular and has a lot of traffic, those celebrities will naturally come and join the platform.
After Lin Chen arrived home, the gathering of the original four-person Shanghai group was much more lively than last year.
This time there were two more people: An Rou and Senior Yan.
Fatty's mom called Yan's parents and discussed it with them. They felt that it would be too much of a hassle for Yan to take the train back to her hometown for the New Year, as her current health couldn't handle it.
So the two families discussed it and decided that Yan Xuejie would spend the Chinese New Year at Fatty's house, and then on the third day of the Lunar New Year, after both families had visited their respective relatives, they would go to Shanghai together to celebrate the New Year.
Anyway, Fatty's new house is big enough to accommodate both families.
Since there were too many people, we stopped playing mahjong; otherwise, it would be boring for just the two of us to watch.
So they replaced mahjong with Three Kingdoms Kill.
"Fatty, when we get together again next year, we'll have one more little fat guy here. Kill him!"
"Hey! Hey Chen-ge, you gotta keep it up too!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room suddenly fell silent.
Senior Yan secretly pinched the fat guy under the table.
The fat man realized he might have said something wrong, so he changed the subject.
"Brother Chen, our company has become the sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala. My mom has been telling everyone about it these past few days, she's so proud of herself."
"Yes, yes, my parents too. Ye Qian's dad even brought two bottles of aged wine to my dad, saying that he was really generous for finding Ye Qian a good job."
"Hey, Miss, can I have a bottle of this wine, Uncle?"
"Go ask for it yourself."
...
The gathering ended quite early, mainly because Lin Chen and the others knew that pregnant women needed to rest more, so they took the initiative to suggest going home early.
The next day, Lin Chen woke up in the morning and found no one at home.
I went to the kitchen to get breakfast and found a note stuck on the refrigerator.
"Son, the three of us are going to buy New Year's goods. We'll be back this afternoon. You'll have to take care of lunch yourself."
Hey, you three really are a loving family.
I glanced at the time on my phone; it was already noon. I could skip breakfast and just have lunch.
Just as Lin Chen took two eggs out of the refrigerator to make himself some fried rice, he received a call from the young lady.
"Lin Chen, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, why?"
"That's perfect, I haven't eaten either. I'll treat you to dinner when we come out."
"Hehe, Miss is really rich."
"Of course, after all, my boss gave me a year-end bonus of several million, and my dad was green with envy."
"Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and come pick you up."
Lin Chen changed his clothes and drove to pick up the young lady.
The two went to a small shop near their high school and reminisced about the atmosphere of their school days.
After finishing their meal and leaving the small shop, the winter wind was quite cold. The young lady naturally took Lin Chen's arm and snuggled up to him.
"Lin Chen?"
When Lin Chen heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw that it was Jiang Chunhua, his high school homeroom teacher.
"Teacher Jiang, what a coincidence!"
"Yeah, what a coincidence. I came here to buy some things, and I was just saying that the back view looked like you. It really is you. Is this Shen Yue from the class next door in your year?"
Shen Yue obediently greeted, "Hello, teacher."
"Hey Lin Chen, I told you two were up to something back in high school, didn't I? Hehe, you bastard back then you swore you'd never date, look at you now, hahaha."
"Ahem, Teacher Jiang, can't we just have a pleasant chat?"
"Haha, I'm just kidding. I heard you've been very successful in starting your own business in college. Our school is even planning to set up a special section to showcase your outstanding graduate achievements."
"Huh? Am I that famous already? No, no, I'm just an ordinary billionaire, not worth setting up a special publicity window for."
"Haha, you little rascal, alright, I won't disturb your date anymore. I need to go back and prepare for the New Year. Come visit your teacher's house another day."
"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Jiang."
After Jiang Chunhua left, the young lady teased.
"Oh my, our CEO Lin is about to become an outstanding graduate? My apologies for not being more impressed."
"Hmph, hurry up and try to curry favor with me, or I'll make you a five-stripe captain in the future."
The young lady whispered in Lin Chen's ear.
"I have a feeling you're trying to take advantage of me."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. "That's right, your intuition is very accurate."
So, Lin Chen then drove the young lady to a hotel to play cards.
They played until night, and neither of them went home for dinner.
Even as the two were engrossed in their poker game, the young lady's phone rang.
"Hey Dad, I won't be home for dinner. You guys eat by yourselves. Lin Chen and I are out having fun."
