New Year's Eve
Shen Xiu: “?”
What does Qin Mo's year-end bonus have to do with him?
Shen Xiu was speechless for a moment, suspecting that either he had answered the wrong number or Qin Mo had made the wrong call.
Chen Xiu took the phone from his ear and saw that the caller ID was indeed Qin Mo. Chen Xiu immediately preferred the second possibility and reminded Qin Mo: "Mr. Qin..."
System: [That's right! ]
After hearing Qin Mo's words, the system realized it belatedly and quickly scrolled through the database, finding the pre-set program code and interrupting Chen Xiu's words: [To be honest, it was indeed sent in your name. 】
Shen Xiu: “?”
Shen Xiu stopped talking halfway, and Qin Mo was scratching his head with curiosity.
"Mr. Shen?"
Could it be that he was overthinking and sent it to the wrong person?
Hearing Qin Mo's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Shen Xiu, who was shocked by the system, slowly came back to his senses. Shen Xiu stared blankly ahead, thinking of Qin Mo's initial question, and according to the system's meaning, he uttered two words in a daze: "That's right."
After saying that, Shen Xiu came back to his senses a little, and hurriedly added: "That's what my friend said."
No wonder Kota could become so big, it turns out the person behind him is... Oh no, the system behind him is a system that can resurrect himself.
Qin Mo: "......"
Your friend is yourself!
Although Shen Xiu's jokes were as cold as his personality, making people unable to laugh, Qin Mo's heart finally settled down after receiving Shen Xiu's affirmative answer.
Qin Mo could finally accept it with peace of mind. Thinking of the huge bonus in the bank card, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "This is really a huge surprise. To be honest, I didn't expect it at all."
Compared with last year's year-end bonus, this year's has increased fivefold.
Chen Xiu held the phone, his hazy vision slowly cleared up, and he said faintly: "...Congratulations."
Not to mention Qin Mo, he himself didn't expect that the system was so powerful that it would give Qin Mo from Kota a year-end bonus.
So...the rent he paid to the system was almost nothing when rounded off compared to the system's huge assets.
Shen Xiu: “…”
He suspected that the system had previously been run as a charity.
"Thank you." Qin Mo said happily, "Mr. Shen, you are busy, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiu was really curious about how much year-end bonus could make someone like Qin Mo, who looked so powerful, call the system personally to inquire.
Shen Xiu, who wanted to gossip, was too embarrassed to ask Qin Mo, but he was comfortable asking the system.
"How much is Qin Mo's year-end bonus?" Shen Xiu said, putting his phone in his pocket and walking into the building with two suitcases.
Shen Xiu was still standing in front of the elevator door waiting for the elevator when he heard the system say a number.
Hearing the following string of words, which was an astronomical amount of money for Shen Xiu, Shen Xiu's pupils shrank, and he swallowed hard. Looking at the smooth elevator surface, he repeated the system's words in disbelief: "Qin Mo's year-end bonus is..."
bite!
When Shen Xiu said this, the elevator door opened instantly.
Seeing the man he had met once in the elevator, Chen Xiu: "......"
The man in a suit in the elevator widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard, and stared at Shen Xiu in disbelief.
Shen Xiu didn't expect that he would be met with a stranger's shocked look just after he finished talking to himself.
Now, one of them was standing outside the elevator, and the other was standing inside the elevator, staring at each other.
After waiting for three seconds, the people in the elevator didn't come out, and Shen Xiu closed his palms awkwardly, clenching the two suitcases in his hands.
Sure enough, it was very strange to be caught talking to myself or something like that!
He ran into this man talking to himself, and what's more, this was a man he had met last time when he left the garage.
When he thought about the possibility of meeting the man in the elevator again in the future, the first thing that would come to his mind was his weird behavior of talking to himself at the elevator door, and Shen Xiu had the urge to die.
Now, for Chen Xiu, the important thing is not whether the elevator door will close after the timeout, but that he does not want to continue this awkward atmosphere.
For this reason, Shen Xiu mustered up his courage, and looked into the man's eyes and said, "Do you want to come out?"
The man heard Shen Xiu's chilly words, met Shen Xiu's cold eyes, his frozen brain slowly started to work, and before the elevator door closed, he instinctively raised his hand and quickly pressed the door opening button, and said stiffly: "...Yes."
After he finished speaking, the man came out of the elevator.
The moment the man walked out and left the elevator door, Shen Xiu dragged two suitcases into the elevator without hesitation.
Even though Shen Xiu didn't dare to look at the expression of the man who had just walked out of the elevator, he could still sense the other person's gaze on him. He quickly raised his fingertips to press the elevator closing button, and they were shaking with nervousness.
Until the elevator door closed, completely blocking the man's sight, Shen Xiu released his right hand holding the suitcase, and his slender knuckles trembled as he hooked off the black mask on his face.
The moment he took off the mask, Shen Xiu took several deep breaths to ease the embarrassment of suffocation. When he felt his breathing became smoother, Shen Xiu had the courage to look up at the elevator wall opposite.
Seeing the clear reflection of himself taking off his mask and breathing rapidly in embarrassment on the elevator wall, Shen Xiu silently shifted his gaze and looked to the side.
Seeing his own image still clear on the side wall of the elevator, Shen Xiu silently retracted his gaze and fixed it on the red numbers that kept climbing up on the side in front of the elevator, praying that he would reach his floor soon.
Otherwise...his embarrassing appearance would be exposed even in the elevator!
First floor.
Shen Xiu met Tan Derong in the elevator twice, and both times he was dressed in a suit and tie. Thirty seconds had passed since Shen Xiu disappeared from his sight, but he still stood motionless in front of the elevator, staring at the closed elevator door.
Tan Derong thought of Shen Xiu's cold attitude towards him after he heard about Qin Mo's year-end bonus. He was so cold that he didn't even bother to look at him when he entered the elevator and closed the door. He felt excited and flustered.
Tan Derong didn't dare to tell his colleagues at the company about this matter, but excitedly called his wife.
“Wife, do you remember what I said to you the last time I met Chen Xiu in the elevator!!!”
"It's confirmed! I just heard it with my own ears. Chen Xiu is not only the man who owns a whole garage on the second floor below ground in the A area of Yulin Banxia, but there is a 99% chance that he is the Crown Prince of Kota!"
"How do you prove it? Haha, to be honest, the last time I went to the underground garage, I met Shen Xiu in the elevator. Shen Xiu successfully pressed the elevator to the second floor in front of me. This is one of the evidences."
"Just now when the elevator door opened, I happened to hear Shen Xiu talking about the chief eunuch... ah no, Qin Mo's year-end bonus figure, this is the second piece of evidence!"
"Damn it, Qin Mo is really the only one favored!"
The elevator door opened, and Chen Xiu didn't wait even a second before getting out of the elevator and heading straight home.
The pupil pattern automatically unlocked the door, and when it opened, Chen Xiu realized belatedly that he had not had time to tell Lucky that he was back.
"Meow~" Lucky thought that the person coming was the housekeeper who came to feed him recently. He meowed twice tenderly and walked out of the crawl room with graceful steps.
When he walked to a place not far from the entrance and saw who was coming, Lucky paused for a few seconds and then rushed towards Chen Xiu in one step.
The door closed automatically. The moment Chen Xiu saw Lucky rushing over, he stood at the entrance and subconsciously did not move, fearing that he would accidentally step on Lucky, who was like a coal ball.
Seeing Lucky, Chen Xiu thought about how he had been out for so long, and felt a little guilty: "Lucky, I'll go back..."
Meow!
Meow meow!
Before Chen Xiu could finish his words, Lucky had already rushed to his side, with his tail raised high like a black feather duster, and a series of fierce meows came out of his throat.
And the cat, which looked a bit fierce and aggressive, was circling around Chen Xiu, and while circling, it looked up and glared at Chen Xiu.
Shen Xiu: “…”
He suspected that Lucky was scolding him, but since he couldn't understand cat language, he had no evidence.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Chen Xiu stood there and let Lucky meow at him for a few minutes. When Lucky stopped, Chen Xiu whispered guiltily, "Is that enough?"
Lucky ignored Shen Xiu and turned away, carrying the black feather duster.
Chen Xiu stood at the entrance, looking at Lucky's big tail standing up high, and there were only five words in his mind: Tsundere little cat!
Since raising Lucky, Chen Xiu has studied cat behavior and knows that when Lucky's tail is raised high, it means it is happy, so he changed into home shoes, stepped on slippers, and pulled the two suitcases into the room.
The moment Shen Xiu opened the suitcase, Lucky swooped down with lightning speed and easily jumped into the open suitcase.
The whole kitten curled up inside, opened its two big green eyes, and looked at Shen Xiu quietly.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Chen Xiu was too embarrassed to take Lucky out of the suitcase. Chen Xiu was not used to sitting and walking around at home in outer clothes. Whenever there were no outsiders around, he would subconsciously change out of his outdoor clothes and put on home clothes every time he returned home.
While Lucky was occupying the suitcase, Chen Xiu simply took his home clothes into the bathroom to change.
After changing, Chen Xiu sorted the clothes and put them into different washing machines.
After doing all this, Chen Xiu returned to the bedroom and found Lucky still lurking in the suitcase he brought with him.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Lucky doesn't think that since he has taken over the suitcase, he won't be away from it for so long, or...when he leaves, he can take it with him just like he takes the clothes inside it, right?
The more he thought about it, the more Shen Xiu felt that this was possible, and a sour feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Meow!"
Before Chen Xiu finished speaking, Lucky, a chubby black cat, squatted in the suitcase and twisted its furry little butt. After twisting it a few times, it rushed towards Chen Xiu.
Snap...
When Shen Xiu caught Lucky's body, Lucky slapped him lightly on the face.
“喵~”揍完沉修，lucky舔了一下沉修被自己爪子打过的脸，乖乖趴在沈修怀里，呼噜呼噜的两只小脚丫就开始踩奶。
Chen Xiu touched Lucky's fluffy black hair and began to doubt his life.
He thought that the character of Han Fei he played was able to change his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, but he didn't expect that Lucky could change his expression even faster than Han Fei!
Chen Xiu lowered his eyes, looking at the kitten stepping on his milk in his arms, and after a while he uttered a word in a compromising manner, "...as long as you are happy."
A few hours later, Shen Xiu coaxed Lucky and packed the luggage he brought. He was busy filming outside day and night. Now Shen Xiu suddenly had some free time. He sat on the sofa, looking at the empty room, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Buzz...
The phone that Shen Xiu placed on the table to charge vibrated. Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and saw a message pop up in the WeChat group. He subconsciously picked up the phone and opened the message interface.
【Group Chat】
Xiang Yueting: Post Spring Festival couplets! [picture]
Zhuang Yi: I'm cleaning. Damn it, it's so small, why is it so troublesome to clean it? A few hours passed in a flash! [picture]
Jiang Yanxi: Same question. I clean on other days and never feel tired. Why does it feel so time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean on New Year's Eve? I am exhausted. [Picture]
Song Chengwang: As long as I run fast enough, I won't be the one to do the spring cleaning. The firecrackers and fireworks are ready. I'll be the one to set off the fireworks tonight [Picture]
Xia Wenhao: Strength lies in numbers [Photo]
Mu Zhenchu: You two are cleaning the house together. Does An An spend the New Year at your house, or are you and An An actually relatives? @Xia Wenhao
Xia Wenhao: ...I spent New Year's Eve at his house, and my parents were too busy to take care of me and didn't come back.
Generally, the whole family will do a thorough cleaning on New Year's Eve and then reunite at night. However, not everyone has time to chat. Even if there is time, they won't chat for long. They will just say a few words or send a picture before continuing to work.
Shen Xiu was not willing to think about the past, looking at the group chat, because he did not do anything about New Year's Eve, and had nothing to share with his friends, so he could only peek at the screen silently.
Looking at everyone's chat messages, Chen Xiu nodded to himself while taking screenshots frantically, muttering to himself: "I see, lively, fireworks, festive, firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets..."
When he read the word "Spring Festival couplets", Chen Xiu thought of the past, exited WeChat, switched to the Xianyu interface, and began to search for the word "pure grain" in the same city.
People usually buy Spring Festival couplets in advance, on New Year's Eve. Now it's almost afternoon, and even the vendors have almost gone home to clean up their houses. I didn't hold out much hope when I was searching.
Chen Xiu didn't expect that when he was just thinking about buying paper and pen to write, the search results came out and showed that there were actually people selling Spring Festival couplets in the same city.
Looking at the words "large quantity discount", Chen Xiu silently opened the chat interface and privately chatted with the seller to see if he was online.
Shen: Hello, can I still buy it now? I can ask someone in the city to pick it up myself.
Frost:! Is this true or false? !
Shen: ...really.
Chen: All of them.
Frost:!
Ningshuang: No problem! Take the link and I'll give you the delivery address!
Shen: OK.
Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to the homepage to take a photo.
Ren Qianning originally thought someone was teasing her. After all, she had been promoting her business on WeChat Moments and Xianyu for so long, but she had only sold one order. Then on New Year's Eve, someone suddenly came and wanted all of them. She didn't believe it, but she was willing to chat.
Ren Qianning never expected that the link had been captured within less than three seconds of the chat.
"Is this true?!" Ren Qianning still didn't quite believe it, but she still sent the address of the handover to the runner.
Chen Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the address. It was only 5.4 kilometers away from him, so he should be able to get it soon.
Chen Xiu contacted the errand runner, and after making the contact, he gave the errand runner's phone number to the seller and waited for delivery.
Ren Qianning looked at the phone call coming from the other end, stood up and rushed into the utility room of her home.
After Ren Qianyu finished pasting the couplets, she walked in and saw Ren Qianning opening the door of the utility room and putting couplets into a square cardboard box. She comforted her: "It's okay. It's common to fail in the first business venture. Try again next time..."
"Sister, my business is successful! Someone just bought all my Spring Festival couplets at once! He even asked a runner to deliver the couplets to the gate of the community and let the runner do it! What kind of luck do I have!"
Ren Qianyu: “…”
Ren Qianyu wanted to say it was a lie. Who would still buy Spring Festival couplets at this time of year? Besides, why buy so many at once? Who has so many houses that they need to put up so many Spring Festival couplets?
But seeing her sister's excitement, Ren Qianyu swallowed the words in her mouth. It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to dampen her sister's enthusiasm for starting a business.
Ren Qianyu planned to secretly follow her out later to see if Ren Qianning had been deceived.
In less than ten minutes, Ren Qianning taped the cardboard boxes together, packed them up and carried them out: "Sister, I'm going to be out for a while. Remember to tell Mom and Dad when they come back."
"Okay, go ahead."
Less than ten seconds after Ren Qianning left, Ren Qianyu closed the door and followed behind secretly.
Five minutes later, at the entrance of the community.
Ren Qianyu hid in the dark and saw Ren Qianning answered a phone call. She quickly handed the box to a runner riding an electric scooter, who left quickly.
Seeing this, Ren Qianyu's heart settled down.
Seeing Ren Qianning meeting her two best friends who grew up with her in the same community at the gate of the community, Ren Qianyu turned around and walked back with peace of mind.
Thinking about the money coming into the account, Ren Qianning glanced around and said to her two best friends, "I'll tell you a secret!"
"What? Tell me now!"
"Don't be like Mrs. Ying. Your parents or sister got a special signature from Xiubao as a gift for you, right? If that's the case... woooooo, I want a copy!"
Ren Qianning thought of the errand list she had sent out, and an excited smile appeared on her face: "Hehe, although there is no signature from Xiu Bao, for me, it is almost the same surprise as Mrs. Ying's!"
"Tell me now!"
"Baby, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Under the questioning of her two best friends, Ren Qianning spoke mysteriously: "Do you remember that I am starting a business?"
"I remember that I was advertising and selling Spring Festival couplets on WeChat Moments a while ago, and I also posted them on Xianyu. How many did you sell? I guess you didn't sell a single order, hahaha. I told you that this is not a good business. Selling Spring Festival couplets near the end of the year is feasible, but everyone likes to buy them in front of the stall."
"Oh, I get it." Ren Qianning blushed when she thought about how she had been selling for more than ten days but had only sold one order, and it was her sister who placed the order.
"That's not the point. The point is that just now, someone bought all my stockpiled inventory in one go, and even called a runner to pick it up at the gate of the community."
"So, we just saw you at the gate of the community. Did you just deliver the Spring Festival couplets to the errand boy?"
Ren Qianning nodded: "That's right!"
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear!"
“Hey, wait a minute, the point I want to talk about is not this, the point is the name and address left by the salted fish buyer, which is Mr. Shen and Yulin Banxia Community!”
Finally, she got to the point that excited her. Ren Qianning looked at her two girlfriends excitedly: "Do you think it was Master Xiu who bought my Spring Festival couplets?!"
Hearing this, the two best friends looked at each other, were silent for a few seconds, and then burst into good-natured laughter.
"...It's fake, hahaha. How could Mr. Xiu buy so many Spring Festival couplets? Even if Mr. Xiu has too many houses to put up all the couplets, he doesn't have to buy them himself."
"Hahaha, that's right, he must be a wealthy cultivator like us, just playing a joke on you on New Year's Eve."
Ren Qianning hesitated: "But...the nickname is really Shen..."
Ren Qianning's two best friends took out their phones and said, "Ahem, to be honest, this is my gaming account, and my nickname is 'Xiu Da Lao Ben Lao'."
"Hehe, this is my NetEase Cloud Music account, my nickname is 'Xiu Bao is me I am Xiu Bao', baby, I remember your game nickname account is 'Chen Xiu Xiu', you see, based on our Xiu experts' naming skills, can this be true?"
Ren Qianning: "...I understand, sisters, I think too much!"
In less than half an hour, Shen Xiu received the package from the errand boy at the gate of the community.
Chen Xiu returned home with the box, unpacked it, and looked at the box of Spring Festival couplets that were well sealed in a transparent bag. He muttered to himself, "Is that enough?"
system:【?】not enough! Not even halfway through...wait, something's wrong!
[Chen Xiu, do you...know something? Otherwise, it wouldn't understand why Chen Xiu suddenly bought so many Spring Festival couplets.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
