In the eyes of many Chinese, the Chinese New Year's Eve has not yet passed, and it is not considered to be the beginning of the new year. Hong Kong is under British rule, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is lighter than that in the mainland, but most companies still have a four-and-a-half-day public holiday. The holiday began on the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and did not start work until the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The same is true for the Hong Kong stock market, which is a half-day market on Chinese New Year's Eve, which means that the stock market only opens for trading in the morning. The Hong Kong stock market usually has three half-day markets a year, the day before Christmas (December 24), the day before New Year's Day (December 31), and the day before Chinese New Year (if there is no Chinese New Year's Eve).

Almost all companies actively avoid these half-day markets when they choose to go public. This time, Asia Entertainment Holdings did the opposite, deliberately choosing the day of Chinese New Year's Eve to be listed. Li Xuan did not appear at the scene of the gong sounding on the exchange, and he didn't even care much about the results after the opening.

Li Xuan was a little exhausted during this time in the United States, and he had to deal with all kinds of people in this false mask every day, make all kinds of promises, and make all kinds of deals. The rest of the time, he juggles an EMBA program at Columbia University.

Universities in the United States have always paid attention to leniency and strictness, and even if it is an EMBA degree, professors will not look at his title as the richest man in the world and lower their requirements for him. On the contrary, some may even secretly want to grab his pigtails in order to show off their noble qualities of being outstanding and not bending their waists for wealth.

And Li Xuan himself actually hopes to learn something in a down-to-earth manner, he does not seek to make himself a great manager, but at least has at least the experience of managing large companies. And there are more than a dozen courses required to pursue an EMBA. It's not so easy to get credits for each of these subjects.

Li Xuan, who didn't put water on himself, became very hard. Professors usually arrange a large amount of pre-reading materials before class, and the pace of the lecture is not only very fast. There will be constant questions and discussions, and after class, I will be asked to write various papers. This undoubtedly required a lot of Li Xuan's time and energy.

And Li Xuan took advantage of the opportunity to stay in New York during this time. I also applied to Columbia University to speed up my studies and wanted to graduate early. It also saves him from having to travel half the world every month in the future and fly to New York to attend classes, which further increases Li Xuan's burden.

Therefore, Li Xuan's previous time in the United States was really not easy. When he returned to Hong Kong, the first thing he wanted to do was to relax completely.

"Dad, Dad!" Li Xuan's new day was awakened by his daughter's pinching of his nose.

A pair of his adorable twins. I'm almost a year and a half old. In fact, in addition to the cute little rice balls and small glutinous rice, Li Xuan also has a daughter named Xiaodoubao outside. The child in Lizhi's belly has also been born safely, and Li Xuan is also bound to carry out the foodie to the end when he gives the child a milk name.

"Hurry up! Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to attend the company's group meeting at noon? If you don't get up, it's too late!" Zhong Chuhong saw that her husband gently held her baby daughter in her arms, turned over and continued to sleep, as long as she pulled him up with her own hands.

"Alas, I haven't even reversed the jet lag!

What if you want to put aside everything and relax for a while? This wish has been shattered before it has even begun! The group meeting at noon on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is a tradition that Dongfang Electronics has been adhering to in recent years! Li Xuan's other gatherings can be pushed, and this luncheon must show his face.

The scale of the Oriental Bloc in Hong Kong is already very large. According to the latest data from the Group's Human Resources Department, the total number of people working for Li Xuan in Hong Kong has exceeded 10,000. Li Xuan naturally couldn't come to the party with all the employees, and the scale of such a banquet would properly exceed 1,000 tables. Even the largest hotel in Hong Kong does not have such a large capacity.

That's why it's a group meeting. In fact, it was just the senior management of the Oriental Group, having lunch with the outstanding employee representatives of the various subsidiaries of the group, and thanking everyone for their hard work in the past year! The hall was already bustling with activity. He smiled and walked to a round table that was not yet full, and sat down on the empty seat with Zhong Chuhong.

Seeing the other people at the table preparing to get up. Li Xuan immediately waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be casual: "Let me introduce you first." This beautiful woman beside me is my family and your boss!"

"Are you so ashamed and boastful!" Zhong Chuhong glanced at Li Xuan, and then nodded to everyone with a smile.

The atmosphere at the round table, which had been restrained, suddenly returned to relaxation.

The guy who was sitting next to Zhong Chuhong immediately introduced himself very brightly: "Li Sheng, I am Ye Hongjie from the Oriental Commercial Channel Department, and this is my girlfriend Xiao Pingping!"

One of the very special things about the Eastern Bloc group meeting is that everyone can bring their families. This luncheon every year is to shorten the distance between the company's top management and ordinary employees, so naturally there is no need for those crowned polite things. For example, the senior executives of the group were not arranged to sit at a designated table, but sat at will.

"Ajie has a good eye, how can you get such a beautiful girlfriend and teach your experience to other male colleagues here!" Li Xuan's words caused everyone to chuckle, and the girl named Xiao Pingping was so ashamed that she lowered her head embarrassedly, but Ye Hongjie and Youyan suddenly raised their heads high.

"Alas, I'm talking about the two of you, and you still have a smile! How can you bring a person of the opposite sex to support the scene on this occasion! Or you can be like this female colleague, and honor your parents!" Li Xuan pointed to the two happy boys on the other side of Xiao Pingping and scolded with a smile. Then he also compared the two of them, another quiet girl.

"Li Sheng, I'm Ren Jinsong from the Project Review Department of the Oriental Entrepreneurship Incubation Park! I actually already have a girlfriend, but she is thin-skinned and refuses to come so mobilized! This is my brother-in-law, and he threatened that if I don't bring him today, he will make a small report in front of my future mother-in-law!"

The one on the left of the two, an employee of the Eastern Group, pointed to his family members, showing a helpless look, causing everyone to laugh. The next quiet girl was Rao Xiaofang, the teller of the Tsim Sha Tsui branch of Jiahua Bank, who brought her father to the banquet.

A round passed, and the last person to introduce himself was the boy sitting next to Li Xuan. He bowed his head to everyone very politely, and then said in a not very familiar Cantonese: "Li Sheng, I am Tajiri Zhi from Japan, and I am now working as a game planner at Oriental Game Company. I don't speak Chinese well, please bear with me!"

Li Xuan felt very familiar with this name, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply put it aside. After everyone introduced themselves, he at least had a preliminary impression of everyone at the table. (To be continued......)
