With the mahjong tables banned, Xiao Jincheng went to his study to call his business partners in advance to wish them a Happy New Year.
Jiang Xiaoli and the other two could only return to the living room to watch TV.
Xiao Muyu asked curiously, "Xiao Li, are there still people working at your food factory during the Chinese New Year?"
"Of course! Sales surge during the Chinese New Year; if we don't work, we won't have any stock to sell," she replied while cracking sunflower seeds.
Zong Jia had already reported the news from the factory to her yesterday on his way home from the airport.
"What will happen to the factory once you both get into university?"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Xiaoyu, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What did you say?"
She said with a smile, "If you can't lead a team, you'll just work yourself to death."
"Hahaha." Xiao Muyu burst out laughing, pointing at Zong Jiayu, "So now you only need to bring him along, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at Zong Jiayu, "Hehe, more or less, but I certainly can't just keep taking advantage of one lamb. The others are being trained, being trained!"
Zong Jiayu noticed that she sounded a little unsure of herself when she said this, "It's okay, we will continue to recruit after the New Year, and we will definitely find suitable people. Xiao Zhang and Han Xue are doing a good job now."
She raised an eyebrow at Xiao Muyu smugly, "Did you hear that? I have someone behind me!"
Xiao Muyu clapped for her, "Xiao Li, you're really lucky."
Jiang Xiaoli felt she was truly lucky to have a chance to be reborn despite her reckless behavior.
She chuckled and said, "Hehe, that's because when someone truly desires something, the whole universe works together to help them achieve their dream."
"Why are you talking so strangely?" Xiao Muyu sighed, rubbing her forehead.
Jiang Xiaoli sat cross-legged on the sofa. "This is the law of attraction! Xiaoyu, you still have a lot to learn!"
Xiao Muyu shrugged, not intending to continue discussing these matters with her, and got up to go to the backyard for some fresh air.
Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head and looked at Zong Jiayu, "You know what I mean, right?"
Zong Jia nodded with a slight smile, "It's about believing in yourself and spending more time with people who are on the same wavelength as you. That will increase your chances of success, right?"
She snapped her fingers. "That's right!"
Around seven o'clock, Li Guizhi came out of the kitchen and said, "Everyone, wash your hands and get ready. We can have our New Year's Eve dinner now!"
Jiang Xiaoli was the first to respond enthusiastically, "Coming, coming!"
Throughout the afternoon, delicious aromas wafted from the kitchen, and she couldn't wait any longer.
She first knocked on Xiao Jincheng's study, then went out to wake Xiao Muyu, who was asleep in a recliner, "Time for New Year's Eve dinner!"
The enormous round dining table, more than two meters in diameter, was piled high with food.
Photographer Xiao Jiang had to stand on a chair to successfully capture a panoramic view of tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.
She smacked her lips and said, "Even the emperor's New Year's Eve dinner in ancient times wasn't this good, was it?"
Li Guizhi reached out to help her down, "Come down quickly, be careful not to fall from such a height."
After washing his hands, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but praise the feast on the table, "This is the atmosphere of the New Year!"
Xiao Jincheng poured himself a small cup of baijiu (Chinese liquor), held up the bottle, and asked, "Xiao Zong, would you like some?"
Zong Jia smiled slightly, "Uncle Xiao, then I'll have a couple of drinks with you."
Li Guizhi asked with some concern, "Xiao Zong, can you drink?"
"Godmother is fine, I can hold my liquor." Zong Jiayu switched seats with Jiang Xiaoli and sat next to Xiao Jincheng.
Xiao Jincheng stood up, holding his wine glass. "The new year is just around the corner. We've all had a great year, whether in our studies, careers, or lives. I'd like to raise a glass here and hope that we can all get together like this again next year, in harmony and happiness!"
Everyone smiled and clinked glasses, saying, "Next year will definitely be better and better!"
Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Muyu huddled together, and seeing that everyone else at the table was chatting, they spun the table around like crazy.
Take a bite of this dish, then pick up a piece of that dish with your chopsticks.
They looked just like two happy little squirrels.
They ate until they were full, and while the two mothers were still chatting about where to go next, Xiao Jincheng and Zong Jiayu started playing a drinking game.
Standing next to them, Jiang Xiaoli muttered to Xiao Muyu, "I never expected Zong Jiayu to have this trick up his sleeve!"
Xiao Muyu felt bored and said, "Let's watch TV."
At 8 o'clock, Jiang Xiaoli shouted towards the restaurant, "The Spring Festival Gala has started!"
The four people who lingered at the dining table went to the living room.
Xu Feng watched TV and said, "Oh dear, why isn't Zhao Zhongxiang the male host this year? They've changed him."
Xiao Jincheng's face was a little red from drinking. He leaned back on the sofa and said, "Wife, go and get the red envelopes for the kids."
Xu Feng pointed at him, "You can't hold your liquor but you still love to drink. You're such a drunkard, you're not even as good as Xiao Zong!"
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs to get the red envelope, with Li Guizhi following her.
The financial managers of both families quickly came downstairs.
Jiang Xiaoli grinned and approached them, "Mom, Auntie, Happy New Year! I wish you both eternal youth and everlasting happiness! And I wish my Uncle Xiao's assets will multiply next year!"
Xiao Jincheng burst into laughter upon hearing her blessing, "I love what Little Pear said!"
He reached into Xu Feng's hand and took a large red envelope, stuffing it into her hand. "Little Pear, I wish you all your dreams come true, and that you'll grow ten centimeters taller next year!"
"Hehe." She smiled, her eyes crinkling as she held the thick red envelope. "Uncle Xiao, your blessing is so heartfelt, I love it so much!"
Li Guizhi also gave her daughter a red envelope, saying, "Xiaoli, Mom just hopes you are healthy and happy."
She nodded repeatedly, "Mom, your red envelopes are so generous, no one is happier than me today!"
Afterwards, Xiao Muyu and Zong Jiayu also stepped forward to offer their blessings to the elders and receive red envelopes.
