After returning home, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although the Spring Festival is a festival that the entire Chinese nation is looking forward to, Ren Pingsheng has always felt that Chinese New Year's Eve is the essence of the Spring Festival.

Especially in the hours from night to midnight, every household is lit up, killing pigs and sheep, watching the Spring Festival party on TV, while waiting for the time to count to the moment of midnight.

The most important event on Chinese New Year's Eve is, of course, the reunion dinner in the evening.

In the north, people gather around to make dumplings and eat dumplings, and enjoy themselves, while in the south, everyone sits at the table and eats their own local New Year's dinner.

After more than an hour of careful preparation, the Ren family's reunion dinner was also ready.

This is a typical Wenzhou special New Year's dinner, Wenzhou people have always been very particular about eating, especially in the reunion dinner, pay attention to "perfect".

"Perfect" sounds quite magnanimous, but in fact, the connotation is very simple, that is, ten plates of cold dishes and ten plates of hot dishes.

Ren's ten plates of cold dishes today are: fried sheep's tail, soy sauce meat, duck tongue, eel, fish cake, fish gelatin, flower clams, pig ears, three-color eggs, and soy sauce chicken.

The ten hot dishes are: osmanthus rice cake, dried bamboo shoots and button pork, chaotic sea ginseng, assorted three fresh, fried yellow croaker, three silk knock fish, cuttlefish vermicelli, hibiscus cockle, pickled whole chicken, and hemp heart eight treasure rice.

For these dishes, Ren Pingsheng has eaten many times since he was a child, but on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, eating the dishes made by his mother and looking at the happy faces of his parents, Ren Pingsheng felt that there was no better dish in the world than "perfect".

Ren's father is in high spirits today, and Ren Pingsheng went home in a beautiful way, proving that his decision to support his son to go out to start a business was correct, and it also made him more confident to speak in front of Ren's mother.

What made him even happier was that his son brought a lot of good wine home this time, especially a 20-year-old bottle of "Guyue Longshan", which made Ren's father, who usually likes to drink two glasses, itchy, but Ren's mother has always been strict and did not allow him to open it until Chinese New Year's Eve.

As the first brand of rice wine, Guyue Longshan's status in the rice wine industry is similar to that of Moutai in liquor.

Ren Pingsheng was pouring and drinking with Ren's father, while listening to Ren's mother's endless nagging, and his heart was very comfortable.

No matter how rich you are, no matter how big the company is, no matter how much you buy a house, you can't match your parents' old house.

Because there are their own relatives here, and the place where there are relatives is home, there is no warmer existence in the world than home.

The Spring Festival Gala on TV has entered the climax stage, and the "Guyue Longshan" on the table is also nearing the end, but most of this wine was killed by Ren's father, and Ren Pingsheng didn't drink much.

It's not that Ren Pingsheng can't drink too much, and it's not that he doesn't dare to drink more in front of Ren's mother, mainly because the mobile phone is too busy.

Since the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Ren Pingsheng's mobile phone has been ringing non-stop, either a text message or a phone call.

Of course, these phone messages are to greet him for the New Year, in the past, people had to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, to give hand gifts, since the phone appeared, this process can be omitted as a phone call is enough.

After the popularization of mobile phones, the phone was replaced by text messages, and you have to say a few words of greetings when you call, say some polite words, and spend more energy, so text messages don't have to be so troublesome, you just edit the text and send it over.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write, there are a lot of ready-made New Year's greeting jokes on the Internet, everyone is copying them around, even if they are repeated, the other party will pretend not to see it, after all, it is just a courtesy.

When the text message arrives, so does the number of courtesies.

Ren Pingsheng replied to the text message with his mobile phone, thinking that in a few years, WeChat will be available, and there may not even be a text message at that time.

However, now WeChat and red envelopes can't be played, not only because Ma Huateng is still selling QQ shows at this time, Zhang Dalong is still engaged in his QQ mailbox, the main reason is that as the terminal of the mobile Internet, smart phones, have not yet been popularized at this time.

BEFORE 2009, THE PENETRATION RATE OF SMARTPHONES WAS STILL VERY LOW, ALTHOUGH THE IPHONE HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE THIRD GENERATION, AND THE ANDROID SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO EMERGE, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD STILL USE MOBILE PHONES BASED ON TRADITIONAL FEATURE PHONES.

TAKE THE NOKIA N95 NEWLY BOUGHT BY REN PINGSHENG AS AN EXAMPLE, 8GB MEMORY, 5 MILLION PIXELS OF CARL ZEISS LENS, IN TERMS OF HARDWARE CONFIGURATION, IT IS NOT LOWER THAN THE IPHONE THAT WAS QUITE SIMPLE AT THAT TIME.

But the small 2.8-inch screen, the Symbian S60V3 system, and the huge nine-square grid keyboard all limit its positioning.

ALTHOUGH THE N95 WAS THE KING OF THE YEAR, IT CAN ONLY BE REGARDED AS A TRADITIONAL FEATURE PHONE COMPARED TO THE IPHONE WITH A CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN, A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD, AND A LOADED APPSTORE.

ALTHOUGH REN PINGSHENG IS NOT AN IPHONE ENTHUSIAST, HE HAS BEEN USED TO SMARTPHONES IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, AND HE HAS OPERATED THE N95, AND HE IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

At this time, he really began to miss the days when there were smartphones.

If it weren't for the fact that the conditions hadn't been met, Ren Pingsheng really wanted to talk to Lei Jun and ask him to get the rice phone up as soon as possible.

Although Ren Pingsheng received a lot of text messages, not every one of them had to be replied to, as the boss of Wanyou Network, most of the text messages were sent by his subordinates, and he only replied to a few text messages from the management, and the others didn't even look at them.

This is one of the advantages of the higher-ups, and the low-status people need to take every opportunity to offer their respects to the higher-ranking people, regardless of whether the other person cares about them or not.

There is no harm in what you do, if you don't do it, if the other party cares about you, what will you do?

There is also a layer of worry, what everyone does, only you don't do, you don't push yourself to the front, what are you not a maverick?

In China's environment, the most sought after, and the most deeply rooted concept, is the mean.

The good thing about moderation is that it is a traditional wisdom to know how to balance various relationships and to know how to preserve one's own strength.

But in fact, if you really measure it, moderation is a lack of confidence in one's own ability.

Those who like the mean, in fact, are the most incompetent people, and their so-called mediocrity is actually mediocrity.

Because you are incapable and need to act according to the eyes of others, you can only choose mediocrity and choose to follow the crowd.

And those who have the ability are disdainful of the so-called moderation, because they have enough strength and do not need to look at the eyes of others.

In his previous life, Ren Pingsheng was a mediocre subordinate, so during the New Year's holidays, he had to send a lot of text messages to leaders at all levels that no one replied to, and a bunch of text messages to colleagues and acquaintances that copied each other.

This is the sorrow of the inferior, and it is also the fate of the mediocre.

But now Ren Pingsheng has gotten rid of the fate of his previous life, and with his position, it is more that others need to look at him.

For these people's text messages, Ren Pingsheng definitely didn't need to reply.
