During dinner, Chen Hansheng paid attention to Hu Linyu's mood. Although he had experienced what happened in the afternoon, there was still not much change on the surface.
When he was driving back, he suddenly received a call from Shen Youchu.
With the birth of the two babies, Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu would take the initiative to call Chen Hansheng, but generally they would only contact him for something. They no longer acted coquettishly or said "good night" as before.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Hansheng turned on the hands-free mode and asked.
Since yesterday, the so-called "once-in-a-century cold wave" in the weather forecast had arrived in Jianye. For this kind of "once-in-a-century or once-in-a-500-year" gimmick, Chen Hansheng regarded it as an expert's nonsense. However, the temperature had obviously dropped.
The heater was on in the car. Under the effect of the cold and hot temperature difference, the windows were covered with white fog. Chen Hansheng turned on the wiper to blow back and forth. The speed was relatively slow tonight, and there was a traffic jam at the Zhonghua Gate for a while.
"Phew …"
Shen Youchu's gentle breathing sound came from the receiver, as well as the baby's babbling. Chen Hansheng could imagine this scene:
Under the quiet light, Shen Youchu was wearing white pajamas, holding the phone and speaking softly. The baby was lying on the bed, raising his little hands and crossing his little feet to entertain himself.
"Lin Yu just said that you bought a house in her name."
Shen Youchu whispered.
It seemed that Hu Linyu had told Shen Youchu about this.
"Yes."
Chen Hansheng did not deny it. "It's in the residential area of the Imperial Garden. I bought a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms."
"Lin Yu said she didn't want it."
Shen Youchu's voice was soft. "She wants you to cancel the house."
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng responded and asked, "What do you think?"
"I …"
Shen Naihan hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Lin Yu is my good friend. She is also a good person."
"Tsk ~, there are no bad guys in your heart."
Chen Hansheng snorted and said, "It's not suitable for Hu Linyu to live with us anymore, because she won't have her own life and will focus on Ning and Chen Zipei. It's not fair for Hu Linyu, but she doesn't need to stay too far away from us, just like …"
Chen Hansheng almost said, "Just like Bian Shishi and Xiao Rongyu." Fortunately, he stopped himself in time.
Shen Silly Girl did not realize that she also thought that Chen Hansheng's approach was very appropriate. This way, good friends would have their own lives, and they would not be too far apart. The only problem was that Hu Linyu would not accept this house.
"Don't cancel the house. Just take it as a loan from us to her."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "The milk tea shop is doing well. With Hu Linyu's share, she should have saved the 1.15 million yuan in a few years. But by then, the house may rise to more than 3 million yuan. Just take it as an investment for us to bring her along."
Chen Hansheng used "we" as the subject every time he opened his mouth. This kind of casual conversation skill could effectively ease the relationship and shorten the distance.
"Then … I'll persuade her again."
Shen Youchu said obediently.
After talking about business, Chen Hansheng asked again, "Give the phone to my daughter. I want to hear her voice."
Shen Youchu also did. Not long after, the baby's "yiya, yiya" sound from the receiver became clearer and clearer. From time to time, there was a noise of "kacha, kacha". It was probably the little silly girl who wanted to snatch the phone.
Chen Hansheng was satisfied in his heart. He told Shen Youchu, "It's a little cold these days. It may snow soon."
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Hansheng suddenly noticed a small snowflake falling on the front car window.
It turned out that it was already snowing.
… ….
The snow had been falling for a long time. It didn't stop at Christmas.
On the 25th of December, all the big stores, commercial streets, and even the Nutshell store were decorated with red Santa Claus. Couples of college students held hands under the umbrella and went shopping sweetly.
The downtown area was more lively, but the riverside was much quieter.
In a house on the 18th floor of the riverside apartment, the air conditioner was blowing quietly. Xiao Rongyu held little Yu 'er in her arms and silently watched the sparse snowflakes outside. Nutshell Express was playing Xue Zhiqian's "Serious Snow" on the computer.
The snow is so deep and so serious.
It reflects my wounds lying in the snow.
I don't care how many scars I have.
But I care who will accompany you in the future.
… ….
Little Yu 'er was already three months old. She could understand music now. She could also clearly see her beautiful mother, tall father, kind grandmother, lively Aunt Shishi …
She could also clearly see the white ice crystals floating on the window, but they melted quickly.
Little Yu 'er was luckier than many people in Eastern Guangdong. She could see snow in more than 90 days. Some people in Eastern Guangdong had never really seen snow in their 90's.
"Oh!"
Little Yu 'er couldn't speak yet. She could only open her eyes wide and raise her chubby little hand to point outside the window, as if to tell her mother that it was all white outside today.
"Got it, got it."
Xiao Rongyu kissed her daughter's chubby little face.
"Oh!"
Little Yu 'er cried out again. She actually tried to touch the window with all her might. Xiao Rongyu was worried that the glass would be cold, so she naturally wouldn't let her daughter do as she wished.
However, Little Yu 'er was very "persevering". She struggled and turned left and right in her mother's arms. However, her body was too small, so she still couldn't get close to the window.
"Why are you always teasing the baby?"
Lv Yuqing walked over and said reproachfully.
"I am teasing her!"
Xiao Rongyu smiled sweetly. Lv Yuqing lightly slapped her daughter's butt, "You are already a mother, but you are still so naughty. Today is Christmas. You and Shishi should go shopping. I will stay at home to take care of the baby."
Xiao Rongyu rarely went out after giving birth. Lv Yuqing wanted to persuade her to go out for a walk to relax her mood.
"Today?"
Xiao Rongyu paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget about it. I don't like Christmas, especially when it is snowing."
Little Yu 'er finished speaking and went back to the bedroom. Lv Yuqing was somewhat puzzled, because she didn't know about the Shuraba that broke out last Christmas.
This time, the Shuraba was completely irreversible. Even Chen Hansheng was unable to solve it. Until now, it was still in a deadlock.
In the bright bedroom.
Little Yu 'er was sleeping on her baby bed. She saw her mother suddenly open the wardrobe and take out a small pink table lamp from inside.
The table lamp's style was relatively old, and it was slightly faded. It seemed to be a product from a few years ago.
Xiao Rongyu looked at the table lamp for a while, then carefully put the table lamp back into the wardrobe. She sat on the edge of the bed to calm her emotions, then bent down to play with her daughter again.
However, while she was playing with her daughter, her tears suddenly fell onto Little Yu 'er's bed. The baby didn't know why her mother was crying. However, mother and daughter were connected by heart, so she also cried loudly.
In the living room, the song "Serious Snow" was still playing:
She loved him so much, so much …
Ning …
This Christmas, Chen Hansheng spent it alone. He didn't accompany anyone. He even hoped that this holiday would never exist.
Unfortunately, Chen Hansheng didn't have the ability to abolish Christmas.
However, on the other hand, Chen Hansheng was the big boss of Nutshell Electronics. He directly used the reason of "vigorously promoting and inheriting the traditional Chinese culture" to prohibit all departments of Nutshell Electronics from holding public gatherings related to Christmas.
The meaning was very simple. You can celebrate in private, but don't think about getting reimbursed. Spend your own money to eat and drink.
Director Chen's reason was very unreasonable. However, he was the big boss. Although the workers were unwilling to accept it, they could only obediently participate in the Christmas activities.
However, soon, the General Administration Office added another notice. During New Year's Day, all departments' meal tickets could be fully reimbursed.
Now, there were more than 3000 workers in both Nutshell Electronics factories. It was impossible for them to celebrate Christmas together. They could only organize their own Christmas activities by themselves.
When the workers saw the new notice, they were happy again. Christmas was only a few days away from New Year's Day, and they could fully reimburse the expenses. At most, they could move the Christmas activities to New Year's Day. Anyway, it was the same.
The workers didn't think it was a loss. Chen Hansheng also didn't think it was a loss. It seemed to be a happy ending.
The news that Chen Hansheng forbade the whole factory from celebrating Christmas was reported by many media. It attracted a lot of attention and discussion in society.
Some people thought that Director Chen was indeed a national entrepreneur. There was nothing wrong with his way of doing things.
Some people thought that he was not confident enough. A big country should be open-minded enough to accept everything. Director Chen was too narrow-minded.
Only Secretary Dong and Nie Xiaoyu heaved a sigh. This had to do with the "pattern". Director Chen "hated" Christmas so much because he had failed on that day!
Ning …
A week later, on December 31st, New Year's Day came.
Today was very difficult for Chen Hansheng, because he didn't know where to go. He couldn't violate the principle of "a bowl of water equal to a bowl of water".
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he finally called Luo Xuan.
"Hello!"
Chen Hansheng said excitedly, "Let me tell you a piece of good news. I'm going to Hu City tonight to celebrate New Year's Day with you!"
"Senior Chen!"
Luo Xuan was so moved that she was about to cry. However, before she finished speaking, the phone was snatched away by Huang Xiaoxia. "Hansheng, it's snowing so heavily. It's not convenient for you to come. Don't worry about Luo Xuan. Her father and I will be with her."
"Happy New Year! Peace and joy!"
Huang Xiaoxia politely hung up the phone. In the middle of the call, Luo Xuan even wanted to snatch the phone back.
"Damn!"
Chen Hansheng patted his head. He originally didn't want to go anywhere and wanted to celebrate New Year's Day with his junior. However, Auntie Huang had already expected it. She kept a close eye on Luo Xuan.
"Hello!"
Chen Hansheng called Zheng Guanjin again. "Bestie, how are you going to celebrate New Year's Day with me? I'll cancel all my appointments and celebrate New Year's Day with you!"
"Are you the first person to call me?"
Zheng Guanjin asked.
"Of course!"
Chen Hansheng said with conviction. "You can check my call history. I thought of you the moment I picked up my phone."
"Thank you!"
Zheng Guanjin smiled. However, she also rejected him. "Our company is having a dinner tonight to celebrate the sales of Xiaomi's second generation mobile phone. If you don't have anywhere to go, I can save a chair for you."
"Who are you looking down on?"
Chen Hansheng spat. "Do you think I don't have anywhere to go? I just wanted to take advantage of you tonight. In the end, you didn't even cherish this opportunity to be envied by thousands of girls. Goodbye! "
"Scumbag Chen!"
Zheng Guanjin was rarely gentle. "Peace and joy in the New Year!"
"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! "
Chen Hansheng sneered as he flipped through his contact list again. He paused on the name "Shang Yeonyeon" for a while. However, he quickly scrolled away.
Shang Yeonyeon planned to celebrate New Year's Day with Shen Youchu tonight. She had already told him earlier.
"Luckily, there's still Chen Lan …"
Chen Hansheng called his sister again. "Hello, why are you celebrating New Year's Day tonight?"
"I'm with my roommate. What's wrong?"
Chen Lan's phone was noisy, and there were also the sounds of girls giggling.
"Ahem … Ahem …"
Chen Hansheng's face turned red. He wanted to ask how many people there were in total, and if he could add a handsome guy from the University of Finance and Economics.
However, Chen Lan was too smart. She seemed to have guessed the purpose of her brother's call. She asked tentatively, "Brother, don't you have anywhere to go tonight?"
"Ah … no, no."
Chen Hansheng denied. "I'm just reminding you that you're not allowed to drink, not even fruit wine. Do you understand?"
In the end, Chen Hansheng had already taken on the airs of a "brother".
"Okay!"
Chen Lan was about to hang up, but she didn't forget to wish her brother well. "Brother, be safe and happy!"
After hanging up the call with his sister, Chen Hansheng looked at the screen of his phone that was gradually turning black. He suddenly slapped himself. "Why are you being so stubborn at this time? Aren't the girls in the Medical College nice enough?"
However, he had already hung up. If he begged Chen Lan again, his sister would laugh at him for a long time.
He couldn't embarrass himself.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng thought for a while, and called Wang Zibo again.
"Are you really going to Little Yu 'er's tonight?"
Chen Hansheng asked. "Are you going to celebrate New Year's Day with Bian Shishi?"
"Yes."
Wang Zibo smiled. "I told you yesterday. You didn't want to come."
From his childhood friend's tone, Chen Hansheng could feel the strong expectation and happiness. He didn't think it was realistic for him to ask this son of a b * tch to accompany him, so he just said lightly, "Then be quiet during New Year's Day. Don't disturb the baby."
"We won't."
Wang Zibo didn't notice Chen Hansheng's indifference. He even explained, "We're just counting down at 12 o 'clock. Xiao Chen, where do you want to go? If there's no place, why don't you …"
"Forget it."
Chen Hansheng said impatiently. "There are so many people who want to celebrate New Year's Day with me. I'm just asking."
"You're right."
Wang Zibo said honestly, "Even if you don't go to Shen Youchu and Yu 'er's place, you will be able to find them easily. I am very confident about this … Beep, beep, beep …"
Before Wang Zibo could finish his sentence, Chen Hansheng hung up.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Wang Zibo muttered, but soon he was called by Bian Shishi to decorate the living room. They were going to hold a "small fish party" tonight.
However, Chen Hansheng was really miserable, because there was no one to celebrate New Year's Day with him.
Even his own mother went to Shen Youchu's place. Empress Dowager Liang was very smart. She didn't care whether it was New Year's Day or Flat Egg. If he was at Little Yu 'er's place on December 30th, then he would be at Shen Youchu's place on December 31st.
As for the coincidence of New Year's Day, there was no other way.
"Wow …"
Suddenly, a burst of cheers downstairs broke Chen Hansheng's train of thought. It turned out that some departments had already started celebrating.
Because there was no fixed location for the gathering, some departments directly got induction cookers, frozen mutton, vegetables in the office … A group of people had a lively hot pot.
It was very lively with laughter.
Some departments also had a gathering outside. The leaders drove the cars, and the employees rode in the cars. They also went out to have fun happily.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
After Nie Xiaoyu knocked on the door, she stuck her head in and said, "Hey, Director Chen, you haven't left yet. What are you doing tonight?"
"I still have something to do. I'll go out in a while."
Chen Hansheng asked calmly, "What about you?"
"Sister Jing will lead the administrative department to have a gathering."
Nie Xiaoyu tilted her head and said, "Then we'll go. Director Chen, have a safe and happy New Year!"
After that, the secretary closed the door and left. She didn't even hear Chen Hansheng's "wait".
"This girl didn't even ask me!"
Chen Hansheng said gloomily.
In fact, the secretary couldn't be blamed. Who would have thought that Director Chen didn't have anywhere to go on New Year's Day?
As time passed, from 6: 30 to 7: 00, and then from 7: 00 to 8: 00, Chen Hansheng still didn't know where to go. Now he was very conflicted.
Directly go back to the dormitory. He was very unwilling to do so.
Don't go back to the dormitory. If he stayed in the office, it seemed that he could only watch Nutshell Express.
"F * ck you!"
Chen Hansheng muttered, "Will I really spend New Year's Day watching AV?"
"Beep ~"
At this time, Wang Zibo sent an MMS.
It was a photo. In the photo, Xiao Rongyu was sitting in the middle with Little Yu 'er in her arms. On the left was Grandma Xiao, on the right was Professor Sun Biyu, followed by Lv Yuqing, Wang Zibo, Bian Shishi, Wu Yimin, and Sun Tangtang.
Xiao Rongyu smiled like a flower. Little Yu 'er probably hadn't seen a camera before, so she stared at the camera in a daze.
Seeing the mother and daughter, Chen Hansheng also smiled.
Not long after, Shang Yeonyeon also sent an MMS.
It was also a photo. Shen Youchu was sitting in the middle with Little Yu 'er in her arms. On the left was Empress Dowager Liang, on the right was her mother-in-law, followed by Mo' er's mother, Hu Linyu, Kim Yang-myung, Dong'er, Feng Gui, and Shen Ruyi.
Shang Yeonyeon was sitting in front of Little Yu 'er and made a gesture to the camera.
Little Yu 'er was in a daze and blew a bubble at the camera.
Seeing the two groups of people so happy, Chen Hansheng felt that this kind of happiness was empathic. He suddenly didn't care so much about how he was going to spend New Year's Day.
So what if he was alone?
As long as he was happy.
After turning off the wall lamp in the office, Chen Hansheng walked out of the office. It was still snowing outside, and the cold snow fell on his skin. Chen Hansheng squinted his eyes and looked around.
The factory was obviously much quieter today, and there was only one person in the security room.
"Creak ~, creak ~"
Chen Hansheng didn't use an umbrella. He stepped on the snow and walked to the security room. A security guard in his thirties was on duty inside.
"Finally, I caught a single person."
Chen Hansheng smiled in his heart. He decided to treat this "lucky guy" to supper as a New Year's gift.
After knocking on the window, the security guard didn't expect Director Chen to come over. He didn't even know where to put his hands.
"Don't be nervous."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand. "Why are you the only one on duty? Where are the others?"
"They, they …"
The security guard stuttered and didn't know if he should tell the truth.
"They went to have fun. Don't think that I don't know anything."
Chen Hansheng smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day. It's good that there are people on duty."
"They came over to change shifts after they finished eating."
The security guard scratched his head and explained for his colleague.
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng smiled. "Where are you going after work?"
Chen Hansheng thought he would say back to the dormitory. Unexpectedly, the security guard looked out of the window. "I'm going to celebrate the New Year with my wife and son. They are waiting for me outside."
"What?"
Chen Hansheng's face changed. He followed the security guard's gaze. Sure enough, under the huge "K ♥" sculpture, there were two people, one tall and one short, standing.
They probably waited for a long time. Their bodies were covered with snow.
"Why don't you let them in?"
Chen Hansheng opened the window and asked the mother and son to come in.
"According to the rules …"
The security guard was still hesitating. "Outsiders can't come in. They will be fined their wages."
"It's okay."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile. "I called them in. If you want to punish them, punish me."
Chen Hansheng was also a sly person. He didn't use his power to break the rules. He just accepted the punishment.
After the mother and son came in, facing the big boss of Nutshell Electronics, they didn't dare to sit down. However, Chen Hansheng didn't put on airs. He soon found out that the security guard's wife worked in a nearby manufacturing factory, and his son was a resident student in Jiangling Middle School. The family of three didn't have many chances to meet.
Taking advantage of this New Year's Day, they made an appointment to have dinner together. However, the security guard was still on duty.
Chen Hansheng listened with a smile. He occasionally asked the security guard about his son's grades. However, he didn't ask him to have dinner with them.
As an outsider, he didn't want to disturb the family of three who were finally reunited.
At about 9: 30, another young security guard came to change shifts. He saw that the big boss was also there. He was too scared to move.
However, Chen Hansheng didn't smell any alcohol. He knew that his subordinate didn't drink. It seemed that he knew the severity of the situation.
"President Chen, we are leaving."
The security guard bowed and said goodbye. He probably wanted to thank Chen Hansheng for letting his wife and son come in to take shelter from the snow.
"Wait a second."
Chen Hansheng thought for a while, and suddenly stopped him. "I need to go out too. I will see you off."
At this time, it was snowing heavily. He didn't know when the next bus would come. Chen Hansheng didn't know what was wrong with him tonight. He just wanted to see the family reunited forever.
The security guard didn't know whether it was true or not. He thought that Chen Hansheng was really going out. After the family of three got in the car, Chen Hansheng stepped on the gas and slowly drove away from the electronics factory.
The snowflakes seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, but it was warm and quiet in the car. Chen Hansheng didn't say anything, and the security guard's family of three didn't dare to say anything either.
"Well … What's your wish for next year?"
After a while, Chen Hansheng probably wanted to chat, so he broke the silence.
"Me?"
This question seemed to be a little difficult for the security guard. In fact, he didn't have any wish. He just wanted his family to be safe and sound. After hesitating for a while, he said, "In the new year, I hope that everyone can be safe and happy."
"Ha-ha!"
Chen Hansheng laughed out loud.
Safe and happy, the simplest and the most sincere.
"My wish for next year …"
After laughing, Chen Hansheng also said softly, "It's just safe and happy."
