New Year's Eve.
The Xiao Family's villa was bustling. Because there were too many guests, other than the dining table in the dining room that could accommodate ten people, jESSICA also arranged a dining table for twenty people in the huge living room. The villa was decorated with lanterns, laughter, and bustling.
Mega Gun and Houzi had returned from Africa.
Houzi also brought a blonde with a sexy figure. Upon asking, he found out that she was from the same hometown as Ma Choi Jun.
"Are you serious?" On the balcony, Xiao Zheng held a glass of red wine and took a sip.
Houzi chuckled and looked at the blonde who was whispering to Siyan's girlfriend. "It should be about time."
Ma Choi Jun, who was sitting on the side, said quietly, "A bunch of people with no foresight. The dense forest is right in front of us. Why care about the saplings under our feet? "
Mega Gun slapped Ma Choi Jun. "You talk too much."
Everyone laughed.
Ever since they started their own work, there were fewer and fewer opportunities for the team to gather. Xiao Zheng was busy with Xin Ao's strategic guidance. Mega Gun and Houzi also led the Mercenary Association to unexpected heights. Even Siyan and Ma Choi Jun had gradually adapted to their current life. They even enjoyed it.
Looking back at the lively living room downstairs, the men and women all came together because of Xiao Zheng's existence. They were either contributing to Xin Ao or fighting for their own lives. But no matter what, Xiao Zheng wished them all the best.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the men and women gathered together to set off fireworks. The sky exploded, and the fireworks shot everywhere like it was daytime.
Holding a glass of red wine, Xiao Zheng leaned against the door with a peaceful smile on his face. His gaze swept across the familiar faces.
From being an orphan to having such a big family, this was a life that Xiao Zheng had never imagined. But now, it all happened in front of him. It was somewhat illusory, as beautiful as fireworks, but not real.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Huayin's gentle voice rang in his ears. She held a woolen coat in her hand and draped it over Xiao Zheng's shoulders.
"According to the weather forecast, the temperature will drop tonight. Don't catch a cold."
Xiao Zheng gently held Elder Lin's hand and smiled. "Isn't it too noisy?"
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said, "It's alright."
Everyone knew that Elder Lin did not like to be noisy. Even on New Year's Eve, she would try her best to stay in a quiet environment. But tonight, more than twenty guests came to the Xiao Clan. There were men, women, and even children. Even though jESSICA was skilled in serving people, she was still a little overwhelmed.
Xiao Zheng held Elder Lin's hand tightly and said gently, "Are we going to set off fireworks?"
"Mm." Lin Huayin nodded and rushed into the crowd with Xiao Zheng.
…
Perhaps most adults would feel that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was getting weaker year by year. But to Xiao Zheng, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was getting stronger and stronger year by year.
When he was in the orphanage, the so-called Spring Festival was just a few more pieces of meat in his bowl and the dormitory's lights were switched off later. On the first day of the Spring Festival, he could get a red packet that was so small that it did not have much purchasing power.
But Xiao Zheng knew that this was all the old dean could give him.
No orphan would cherish the life in the orphanage, even though they would feel a little sad and reluctant to part with it from the bottom of their hearts. But no one would be willing to live in the orphanage again.
Xiao Zheng was no exception.
The older he got, the more his background in the orphanage was like a thorn in his side.
This meant that he had no parents, no relatives, no identity, and no one knew when he was born or where he was from.
His birthday was decided by the old dean with a pat on the head.
Now, he had more friends and relatives who were not related to him by blood.
And the child in Elder Lin's stomach.
A child with the surname Xiao, who would call Xiao Zheng father.
The 30-year-old Xiao Zheng always had a lot of worries and worries when he looked back on the past. But with this child, he didn't care about anything.
The Xiao Clan had a descendant.
…
On the first day of the Spring Festival, Xiao Zheng accompanied Elder Lin to the Ye Residence. This was a habit he had developed in recent years. It was a bit like going back to his parents' home.
As soon as he entered the Ye Residence, Xiao Zheng saw his mother-in-law whom he had not seen for a while.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng came to Ye Yuhua with a gift and smiled. "Mother-in-law, did you set off the fireworks last night?"
Ye Yuhua smiled gently and said, "Mother-in-law is old. It's not suitable for me to do these things that you young people do."
After a pause, she held Xiao Zheng's hand and said, "Let's sit in the house. It's windy outside."
The family went to the living room. Ye Zanghua was drinking tea and eating snacks while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Tang Yue, on the other hand, was busy preparing lunch.
Seeing Xiao Zheng and the others coming over, Ye Zanghua jumped off the sofa and smiled. "Waiter, come and watch the show with uncle."
Lin Huayin gave Ye Zanghua a sidelong glance and went into the kitchen to help.
Ye Zanghua was not angry after being refused at the door. She turned to Xiao Zheng and said with a cigarette in her mouth, "Xiao Zheng, are you alright these few days?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Ye Zanghua with caution. "What are you doing?"
"Don't be nervous." Ye Zanghua patted Xiao Zheng and said unhappily. "Why would I harm you?"
Xiao Zheng smiled. "I don't do things that are against the law."
Ye Zanghua rolled her eyes. "You sound like you're serious."
After a pause, Ye Zanghua continued, "I've discussed this with your mother-in-law. There's something to do. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately became interested and asked, "What is it?"
"Didn't you invest in a security company?" Ye Zanghua asked.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and took a sip of tea.
"There are more and more rich people in Hua Xia now. There's a huge demand for bodyguards in the market. But so far, our Hua Xia doesn't have a well-established security company like those in foreign countries. The one you invested in is big enough and doesn't lack funds. As long as you pool your resources, I believe you can achieve results. "Ye Zanghua glanced at Xiao Zheng. "You kid, you started such a company without saying a word. You didn't even take care of me. Why, are you afraid that I'll snatch your cake? "
At the beginning, she was quite serious, but in the end, she returned to her usual self. This made Xiao Zheng laugh.
But to be honest, although Shen Manjun's security company was doing well, whether it was professionalism or execution, it had reached the international first-class level. But when it came to resources, it was still lacking. Even if Xiao Zheng would often provide some resources. It was also difficult for the security company to make a name for itself in the industry.
In the end, it was because Xiao Zheng's foundation was too shallow and he didn't have enough resources.
If the Ye Residence came forward to guide this matter, then the security company would have an unimaginable resource environment. He believed that he could stride into the vision of the upper echelons.
The political and military bigwigs had a special team responsible for security issues. The bigwigs in the business world didn't have such treatment. So as the economy of Hua Xia soared. The demand for high-end elite bodyguards would explode.
