"Brother Yang," Guan Fei finished all his work for the day and also received a big red envelope. He clicked on the transfer message and saw that there was 300,000 yuan. "Isn't this too much?"
"Why don't you want it? You can return it. I don't mind." Zhou Yiyang joked, "It's just a year-end bonus. A reward for your efforts last year."
"Thank you, Brother Yang!" Guan Fei laughed so loudly that everyone downstairs could hear. "My mom must be so happy. My income now is much higher than all the kids of her best friends!"
"Yeah, congratulations, you've also become someone else's child." Zhou Yiyang urged: "Now that you've finished your work, hurry up and take a plane home!"
"I've booked a ride, but it hasn't come yet!" Guan Fei happily circled around the room: "Brother Yang, I'll be back on the first day of the new year! I really want to go watch the online Spring Festival Gala in person."
"Whatever you want, I'll give you the ticket. Anyway, your vacation lasts until the eighth day of the first lunar month, so you can arrange it however you want."
After seeing Guan Fei off, people in the company left one after another.
The building, which was originally bustling, is now much quieter.
Looking around, apart from a few local Shanghai employees who took the initiative to go to work during the New Year holiday, the only ones left were him and Bai Yangyu.
"Old Bai," Zhou Yiyang said, holding a cup of tea, and slowly walked to Bai Yangyu's side. "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll be leaving soon." Bai Yangyu stretched lazily. "Aren't you planning on going to the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Aren't you going? Anyway, with you around, Helian Bei will definitely feel at ease. As for me, I can just spend the New Year quietly by myself, which is fine."
"Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu sighed, "Why do I hear a hint of loneliness in your tone? If I were you, you might as well have just gone home with them for the New Year, just like last year."
"Forget it," Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "If I follow them, they won't be able to relax and won't have a happy Spring Festival. They haven't seen their parents for almost a year, and they will definitely have a lot to say when they go back this time. As for me, I won't join in the fun."
"Alright!" Bai Yangyu stood up. "Then we'll meet in the capital on New Year's Day!"
New Year’s Eve.
Zhou Yiyang always felt that this year's New Year's Eve came earlier than usual.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m the only one around me.
He went home alone at noon.
Every household in the community has couplets posted on the wall and big red lanterns hanging at the door, creating a festive atmosphere.
Zhou Yiyang didn’t really care about this kind of New Year atmosphere before. After all, he had never celebrated the Spring Festival seriously since he was a child.
But now things are a little different. Last year, he followed Yue Shao and the other three to their hometown and felt the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
He suddenly understood why so many people would think about going home for the New Year regardless of whether they made money or not or whether they lived well.
"We should eat something warm tonight." Zhou Yiyang opened the refrigerator and found that there was nothing inside except a bunch of drinks and frozen foods.
It looks quite shabby.
That's right, he either goes out to the restaurant and orders takeout, or goes downstairs to eat and drink for free.
I never light a fire in this house.
"Looks like I can only eat takeout!" Zhou Yiyang took out his cell phone and ordered a very expensive takeout hotpot with the mentality that he must eat well during the holidays.
With that amount, Zhou Yiyang felt that he could easily eat it for two or three days.
Sitting by the window, he didn't expect that it would snow in Shanghai today.
For northerners like Tang Yue and Su Yin, snow is a common occurrence and will not cause any waves.
But for the residents of Shanghai, it is still very rare.
Zhou Yiyang took a look at the trending searches, and sure enough, #ShenchengSnowing# made it into the top ten.
Lin Xuan'er, also in Shanghai, sat on the sofa, listening to her father's relatives repeatedly question her about her income. Finally, they acted like elders, lecturing her not to forget her roots...
At this time, the relative's child suddenly opened the window and shouted: "It's snowing!"
To be honest, ever since Lin Xuan'er went to Harbin and witnessed the overwhelming heavy snow, she has no interest in the snowflakes in Shanghai that melt instantly as they fall on the ground.
But at this moment she just wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she stood up immediately: "Xiaobao, sister will take you to see the snow!"
Father Lin took the opportunity to walk out of the kitchen wearing an apron and said to his eldest sister, who also taught but loved to teach others, "Sister, our Xuan'er earns a lot of money, which is good for us and worry-free. I think if you have time to teach her, you might as well spend more time watching over Xiaoyu!"
Xiaoyu is Xuan'er's cousin, working as a clerk in a company with a mediocre income. As expected, Xuan'er's aunt fell silent.
Lin Xuan'er stood in the snow, listening to the children's carefree laughter, and her mood improved a lot.
A photo soon appeared in the WeChat group, sent by Lin Xuaner.
[Sister Tang is very busy: Hahahaha, I saw the trending search! I knew Xuan'er was watching the snow!]
[Have you had milk tea today? It's snowing in Beijing too! It's so cold! But Aunt Wang made mutton hot pot today, and it smells so good!]
[I was so spicy when I got home: I don’t know where my mom learned how to make dumplings! We don’t eat dumplings during the New Year in our mountain town! And it hasn’t snowed here yet!]
Xuan'er wants to calm down: A lot of relatives came to my house today. They only wanted to compliment me and borrow money. It's so annoying!
[Your Mr. Zhou: Ahem, I'm getting hungry watching you guys chatting! I can lend you money, but don't let them use your name to sell things without any quality assurance. If you have any relatives who are too bad to handle, please contact me immediately.]
[Sister Tang is busy: Brother Yang is awesome! I know what gifts to bring Xuan'er and Ruirui. I'll give you a truckload of Harbin snow!]
[Have you had milk tea today? What about me? I don’t want snow!]
[Sister Tang is very busy: I'll reluctantly bring you a loaf of bread!]
Zhou Yiyang looked at WeChat and couldn't help but curl his lips as if he heard their voices.
At this time, there was a knock on his door.
"The takeaway arrived so quickly?" He looked surprised. He had just ordered it. "Could it be that there's no business during the New Year?"
Then he pushed the door open and looked out, only to find that the person standing at the door was someone he had never expected.
"Mr. Zhou." Dean Luo was holding a child beside him. "I heard from Manager Bai that you'll be spending the New Year alone this year. So I brought Xiao Hei here to pay New Year's greetings."
"Xiao Hei, give your gift to Uncle Zhou!"
Xiao Hei is very close to Zhou Yi Yang, even though they haven't seen each other for a long time.
He jumped into Zhou Yiyang's arms almost immediately. After hearing what Dean Luo said, he took out a piece of white paper from his small schoolbag.
"What is this?" Zhou Yiyang looked at the gift, somewhat confused.
"Draw." Xiao Hei took out another pen and jumped from Zhou Yiyang's arms to the ground.
He actually started drawing a picture for Zhou Yiyang on the spot.
