Sheng Kai didn't tell Ye Qingqing about the matter of the old cultural center, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

He has a dispensable attitude towards it.

He has a habit of not liking to talk about things until they are done. This is true for the Moon Lake store, and the same is true for the Whitewater Lake store.

So before the old cultural center was finalized, he wouldn't make a noise.

Time is rushing, and in three days it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Golden Leaf Restaurant has been open since the first store, and there is no holiday during the New Year, so this year is the same, the three stores have already been notified separately, and they will be open as usual during the Spring Festival.

In order to ensure that there are people to work during the Spring Festival, three times the salary is implemented during the Spring Festival overtime. Some people originally planned to go back for the Chinese New Year, but thought that they could get three times the salary for the same job, so they stayed.

And those who stay at work can take five days off in batches after the employees who have gone on leave return.

Although there are still some people who want to go back for the New Year, the people who remain are enough to cope. After all, during the Spring Festival, almost all the floating population in Hancheng will leave, and the whole Hancheng will seem much deserted at that time.

The hotel has announced a month ago that customers in need can book Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Spring Festival reunion dinner, Spring Festival party dinner and so on.

Of course, because it is a Spring Festival service, the price has increased by 30%, mainly during the Spring Festival, and the price of various raw materials has also increased.

If you need to go home, you will officially have a holiday on the 28th day of the lunar month, return to the store on the fifth day of the first month, and officially go to work on the sixth day of the first month, and then let the shift vacation that did not go home during the Spring Festival.

Ye Li took Ye Qingqing, Lu Mingxue, and Chen Xiyuan to check the business accounts of the three stores, and after confirming that they were correct, the three managers signed.

As before, all shareholders do not pay dividends, only receive salaries, and all balances are deposited in the bank.

Sheng Kai returned the 2 million yuan of the decoration company, paid everyone's salary, and still had 6.7 million in the account.

Han Daniu's shares are not accounted for in the company's financial accounting, and Sheng Kai accounts for him alone, but this money is advanced by him.

He only has shares in the Wenhua Road store and the Yuehu Road store, and in three months, the dividends he will get are only more than 100,000 yuan.

Fortunately, Sheng Kai received a bonus of 200,000 yuan for righteousness and bravery, and he also enjoyed the same salary as Ye Qingqing, so there was no pressure to pay him this money.

Originally, Sheng Kai wanted to persuade him not to take the dividends back, because the additional investment in the Baishui Lake store behind him was paid by him, and as long as Han Daniu was willing to follow the investment, he could return the shares to him.

However, seeing Han Daniu's happy look when he received the money, he couldn't help but say it.

After all, except for him Han Daniu, the other shareholders did not receive a penny of dividends, so it is still difficult to convince him.

Ye Qingqing held a meeting of managers and foremen before the Spring Festival, and made detailed arrangements for the work during the Spring Festival, asking everyone to ensure that the operation of the Spring Festival could not go wrong.

Rong Yan has already taken a holiday, went back for the New Year, and the other people, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are arranged to eat in the store.

Before ten o'clock in the evening, the customers basically dispersed, and Ye Qingqing, who had been tired all day, explained a few words to the security guards after checking the situation in the store, asking them to pay attention to fire prevention and theft, and then left the store, ready to let Sheng Kai send her back.

Sheng Blossom sent her home and returned to her rental house with Liu Xiaoyu.

His rental house will expire after the Spring Festival, and he has already thought that if the old cultural center can be rented, he will move there. If you can't rent it, you should rent a suite near the Whitewater Lake store.

Ye Qingqing returned to "home" alone, and a feeling of loneliness suddenly rose in her heart.

When my parents are alive, every year during the Chinese New Year, I am a family together, and I am happy.

After the death of my parents, I also spent the New Year with my grandfather, although it was not so lively, but I didn't feel lonely.

Even last New Year, she still lived in a rented house in full bloom, and spent the New Year with blooming and Liu Xiaoyu, and she didn't seem to feel lonely.

She suddenly regretted not leaving Liu Xiaoyu behind, and now she was alone in an empty house, and suddenly felt a little cold.

She turned on the lights in all the rooms, then turned on the TV, and curled up on the couch with a blanket, her eyes staring at the TV, but she had no idea what was actually going on inside.

Growing up, she had never been so afraid of being alone as she is now.

Finally, she couldn't help but grab her phone, click on the blooming WeChat, and send a message: "Are you home?"

In the past, Sheng Blossom took the initiative to send him a good night every night, but today she really felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if she wanted to find a trace of sustenance, and took the initiative to send him a text message without hesitation.

As soon as Sheng Kai arrived at home, he heard the mobile phone ringing, he glanced at it, and replied: "It's home, good night." ”

"Today is the ...... of the Chinese New Year"

"Oh, it's less than two hours before the New Year, I wish you a happy new year in advance. ”

Ye Qingqing stared at that line of words tightly, looked at it for nearly a minute, hung his arms on the sofa weakly, and looked at the TV in front of him with blank eyes.

"Happy?"

She suddenly smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that she was the loneliest person in the world.

Rong Yan and Chen Xiyuan were with their families at this time, eating snacks and fruits and watching TV, right? Kang Dezhu also returned to Yuncheng and reunited with his family.

Even if it is in full bloom, she is accompanied by Liu Xiaoyu, and she is the only one.

She suddenly felt the urge to drink, but she didn't have any alcohol at home, and she didn't dare to go out to buy alcohol at this time.

Sheng developed the information and went to take a shower.

Ye Qingqing thought about it for a while, and sent another one: "Are you sleeping or are you keeping vigil?"

Chinese New Year's Eve vigil is a custom of the people, generally speaking, it is necessary to wait until the old and the new are alternated before going to bed, and many people even stay up all night and do not sleep at all.

It's called saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

The message was sent out, and I waited for a full three minutes, and there was no reply from the blooming one.

She seemed even more lost, put her phone down, and sat on the couch with her eyes open, tired, but not sleepy at all.

"He actually fell asleep......"

She thought in her heart that it was blooming, but the message was not returned, and she must have fallen asleep.

Now she has a crazy idea in her heart, she wants to call Chen Xiyuan and Rongyan, but the more she thinks about it, the more lonely she feels in her heart.

I was groggy thinking about it when my phone rang.

She reflexively grabbed her phone and glanced at it, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lonely face.

"Not yet, just took a shower. What about you?"

"I can't sleep, I want to drink......"

"Drinking?"

"It's okay, you can sleep. ”

"Are you scared alone?"

Ye Qingqing looked at the phone, didn't know how to reply, the screen turned off and on, glanced at it and turned it off, and repeated this action over and over again.

"Do you want me to send Xiaoyu over to accompany you?"

"Forget it, it's too late, don't toss her. ”

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Sheng Kai sent another message: "This girl is already asleep." ”

Ye Qingqing didn't send any more messages, her mobile phone suddenly rang, she was startled, and quickly grabbed it to see that it was Sheng Kai calling.

She hesitated for a few seconds before connecting.

"Are you sad? Why don't I come and pick you up, and I'll sleep on the couch tonight while you're staying with me?"

"No, it's so late. ”

"You wait for me, I'll be there soon. ”

"Are you really here? Hey...... Hey......"

Sheng Kai had already hung up the phone, and a hint of warmth rose in her heart. Although he didn't have any sweet words, she could feel his concern.

This seemingly insipid care is what she needs most now.

She quickly got up, went to the bedroom to change her clothes, went to the bathroom to fix her hair, and then absentmindedly watched the TV and waited for him to come.

Hanseong, which is usually crowded, is the smoothest time of the year, and the journey that usually takes an hour to reach is less than half an hour.

Hearing a knock on the door, she immediately ran to the door, but calmed down a little before opening the door.

"Say don't come, you ......"

Sheng Kai smiled indifferently and said, "I ignored it, I shouldn't have sent you back alone." ”

Ye Qingqing went out and asked, "Xiaoyu just slept?"

"This girl, just dip her pillow, it's still young and good......"

"What do you mean, do you mean I'm old?"

Sheng Kai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that." ”

When he came to the entrance of the community, Sheng Kai opened the door of the passenger cab and said, "You can live with me for the next few days, or I will let Xiaoyu come over to accompany you." ”

When Sheng Kai got into the car, Ye Qingqing said, "I don't want to sleep yet." ”

Sheng Kai was surprised: "You don't really want to drink bars?"

"Are you afraid that I'll get drunk again and you'll have to take care of me again?"

She suddenly remembered that she was drunk in the imperial capital, and asked deliberately.

"Why get drunk?"

She was stunned, she really didn't know how to answer this question.

"I don't drink, but I also don't want to go back to bed so early. It's Chinese New Year's Eve, can we find a quiet place to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new?"

She suddenly wanted to be alone with Sheng Bloom for a while.

Sheng Kai thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to a place." ”

Ye Qingqing didn't ask where to go, now as long as he can be with him, the loneliness in his heart will disappear without a trace.

The street was unobstructed, and Sheng Kai drove the car to the Hanjiang River and drove along Binhe Road.

Ye Qingqing was surprised to find that the originally deserted streets gradually became lively.

On the scenery belt along the river, there are many people standing there, looking at the river in the night, as if waiting for something.

When Sheng Kai stopped the car and took her to the river, she looked towards the heart of the river. In the middle of the river there is a sandbar, brightly lit.

On the sandbar, there are many laser lights, which are 300 meters wide and at least one kilometer long. The five bridges of the Hanjiang River cross over the sandbar, and an approach bridge is built in the middle, which can go directly to the sandbank.

In the middle of the sandbar is a towering bell tower with a huge iron bell hanging from it.

Ye Qingqing has lived in Hancheng since he was a child, and of course he knows that there is a sandbar here. It's just that in her memory, the sandbar has always been barren, and there is nothing but the bell tower.

The large iron bell on it is said to have been cast after the Great Patriotic War and has a history of more than 200 years. In order to commemorate the compatriots who died in the defense of Hanseong, let the alarm bell ring for a long time.

Looking at the bright lights, this place should have been developed into a tourist attraction.

Bloom took her to find an open spot, stood against the railing, looked at the sandbar on the river, and the cruise ships moving on the river, and felt that this moment was so peaceful.

"Did you bring me here to see the New Year's bell ringing over there?"

"Don't rush, take your time. ”

Ye Qingqing suddenly found that on the bank of the river, there were many people gathered there, which seemed very lively.

"What are they doing?"

"I guess I'm buying river lanterns. ”

"Is there any other river lantern seller here?"

"Yes, many people like to put river lanterns, and it is said that you can make a wish, and the river god will bless him with the fulfillment of his wishes. ”

Ye Qingqing looked a little excited and said, "Let's go and see it too?"

So saying, he turned and walked away, looking for a way to the riverbank.

Sheng Kai hurriedly followed and said, "There are a lot of people here, don't walk around, you will be scattered later, it's not easy to find." ”

Ye Qingqing suddenly stopped, and Sheng Kai was caught off guard, almost hitting her.

She turned around and said, "Are you going to lose me?"

The first time Sheng Blossom heard her soft words like this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said stupidly: "No." ”

"And what am I afraid of?"

Ye Qingqing smiled softly and continued to turn around and walk towards the crowd.

Sheng Kai looked at her back and was stunned for a moment, at this moment, he felt that Ye Qingqing was a carefree little girl.
