"There is still half a month to go until Chinese New Year's Eve, will you return to Tancheng for the New Year this year?"

The place where Cai Pingping parked her car was not far from the Shangdao Coffee, and it didn't take long to arrive. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the signboard reads the eight-character slogan "From Taiwan, Smell the World", in fact, there is also a sad story in it.

The real Uejima coffee originated in Kobe, one of the first port cities in Japan to open to the outside world. The founder of Ueshima Coffee, Nadao Ueshima, opened a store in 1933, established Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd. in 1951, opened the first coffee shop in 1958, and gradually became the largest coffee sales company in Japan, and changed its name to UCC Ueshima Coffee in 1991.

In 1968, there was no similar coffee shop in Taiwan, and Taiwanese businessman Chen Wenmin once visited friends in Kobe, thinking that this kind of coffee shop was very good and should have a future on the island, so he signed an agreement with the Ueshima Coffee Company to officially introduce "Upper Island Coffee".

At that time, the mainland was in a special period, and the market was almost closed overseas, and few people at that time could take a long-term view to the point of looking directly into the future.

The scope of Mr. Chen's agreement with Ueshima Coffee Company was within the territory of the Republic of China, and "accidentally" included the mainland......

Because of this, when Uejima Coffee was opened all over China, the real Japanese Ueshima Coffee Company could not use the trademark "Ueshima Coffee" on the mainland, and could only be called "UCC Coffee".

The famous Ueshima Coffee is actually just a Taiwanese Xibei from a Japanese cottage.

However, as a product of more contact with Europeans and Americans, and being deeply rendered by European and American cultures, Japanese Ueshima coffee does have a strong European and American style. However, Taiwan's Shangdao Coffee has completely copied the Japanese Shangdao Coffee, so it is not surprising that the Shangdao Coffee branch that Duan Shanshan and Cai Pingping are patronizing at the moment has a strong European style.

The semi-enclosed space separated by a glass screen and a walkway serves as a private seat for four, with a soft and comfortable two-seater sofa facing each other, and a coffee table that doubles as a dining table in the middle of the sofa.

After the two found a window seat and sat down, Cai Pingping opened her mouth to ask about her plans for the New Year.

As a Celestial Empire person, the New Year is naturally a festival of great significance, but for Duan Shanshan, and even the other Celestial Dynasty members of the Threesome Studio, this is really a difficult question.

This is the first Lunar New Year since the studio moved to Seoul, and although they have no previous experience, several Celestial Empire people who have a special plot for the word "Chinese New Year" have already asked their familiar Korean colleagues about the situation.

The good news is that Koreans also celebrate the New Year......

The bad news is that the Korean New Year is only the first three days of the new year......

It is not surprising that the people of the peninsula, who have been influenced by the culture of the Celestial Empire for more than 3,000 years (counting from the time of the Jizi Joseon), have the same customs as the people of the Celestial Empire. The difference is that our Spring Festival is a day for family reunions to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but the custom of peninsulars is to worship their ancestors on this day......

This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, not the fifteenth day after the spring breeze, is it good! The Spring Festival has been celebrated as the Qingming Festival, what kind of rhythm is this?

However, for Koreans who have both Buddha's Birthday and Christmas in the statutory holidays, it is good to give six days off during the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival together. It seems understandable to move the things that should be done during the Qingming Festival to the Spring Festival......

The crux of the problem is not here, but the three-day holiday for the Spring Festival, is it enough?

Duan Shanshan shouted in his heart, interrupting his own imagination because of Cai Pingping's casual inquiry.

For the Republic of Korea, which is a small country, not only is the country very small, but the transportation is also quite convenient, and it is more than enough to go home and go back and forth in three days. But what about us?

There is no direct flight from Seoul to Wuyishan, and you must transfer to Shencheng. The shortest flight takes five hours, and the ticket price is expensive not to mention (as a tourist city, Wuyishan's air tickets are not discounted all year round, basically more than nine percent off), and you may not be able to grab a ticket. Other flights are available, but with longer layovers, which can take eight or nine hours.

What if you fly to Shencheng and then take the train? It takes about 12 hours each way, and you can get in half a day.

Not only Duan Shanshan, but in addition to Saiwen, who lives in the imperial capital, and Ling Xingning, who lives in Star City, have direct flights, Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong, Yuan Bin, and Xia Ruoying all have similar troubles.

What's even more tragic is the pair of Che Guanglong and Xia Ruoying, as the first year of the relationship, it stands to reason that the two should go to each other's homes this year to meet relatives and friends, say hello or something...... But we know that Che Guanglong children's shoes are from Liao Province, and Ruoying Sister Paper is from Zhejiang Province. And their family is not in the provincial capital, which means that there is no more convenient transportation between the two locations!

So when it comes to the topic of the Spring Festival, all the buddies in the threesome studio have the urge to burst into tears, how much everyone misses the seven-day long holiday of the Spring Festival in China!

The three-day Spring Festival holiday is really not enough for this group of people.

This is the constraint of time factors, and there is another more important constraint, that is, what is the result of this closed beta of "Six Tribulations".

Since the start of the server on Monday, it is now the sixth day. Half of the ten-day test period has passed, and the test process so far has had twists and turns, and the conclusion of the remote communication with Liu Kewei and Yuan Bin in the past two days is that everything is quite optimistic at present.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there will be new problems with the game in the coming days.

We will receive the test and evaluation reports from various operators from next week, and there may be some problems that others have already seen and will mention in the evaluation report at that time.

It's fine if there are no problems. If something goes wrong, it's estimated that these people in the threesome studio won't have the heart to go home to play in the past few days of the New Year - anyway, it's only a three-day vacation, and they can't have fun running back and forth, so most of them will honestly stay in Seoul to work overtime to change the game.

In addition, the closed beta will end next Wednesday, and the next three days will be the deadline for each game operating company to submit a bidding plan for the agency rights.

Although Saturday is included, according to domestic holiday regulations, next Saturday and Sunday are normal working days, and domestic companies must continue to work until the next Tuesday, that is, the 29th day of the lunar month. Although it is a Sino-Korean joint venture, since it is in the Celestial Empire, Tienxiti is naturally no exception.

There is no need to worry about the bidding, because of the insistence of Director Zhao, the actual person in charge of the project, and then the Naxon headquarters will send the representative director Xu Min to take charge of this matter. Representative Xu is the former president of Neople, and has done a very good job in this position, although he is not very old, he has a lot of experience and knowledge, and no one on Tiensit's side should be able to make a moth in front of his eyes.

Whether the agency can be sold smoothly and at what price is related to the value of the work results of the team of Threesome Studio for half a year or even nearly a year (more than nine months for Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong, Duan Shanshan and Ruoying, and about half a year for others), is the most important thing for everyone, and there is no one.

And whether this bidding result is good or bad, it is likely to have an impact on the Spring Festival arrangement of Threesome Studios.

Therefore, when Cai Pingping asked casually, Duan Shanshan silently thought about it in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't answer it.

How to spend the New Year? After thinking about it for a long time, Duan Shanshan still couldn't find an answer.

So while he was distracted, he casually hummed an old song by Zheng Zhihua, and the title of the song is the same as three of the five words "How to spend the New Year......

"How to spend the winter, make a fire in your heart. How do you spend the winter, the single quilt ......

When winter comes, I always think about me, will I still live alone tomorrow?

What am I afraid of, is it loneliness? I want to accept her tenderness without wanting to lose my freedom.

Winter is a bewilderment that haunts me every year. Every year I am confused, every year like this.

A friend's child is calling me, uncle or uncle. When I heard it, I was even more sad and confused.

Winter is a choice, every year in the choice. In the past I chose others, now others choose me. ”

Duan Shanshan's voice is very ordinary, and he does not have a distinct personal style, but his advantage is that he can always sing his feelings into songs.

is different from the decadent, sad and tangled emotions when he sang "Twist Braids" at the Maidu Riverside Store last time, this song "How to Live in Winter", he interpreted the faint sadness and shallow confusion in the lyrics, as well as a little inferiority complex that could not be hidden, all with a whispered hum.

Cai Pingping doesn't remember whether she has heard this song or not, maybe she has, or maybe not.

If the melody is not particularly moving, or the lyrics can empathize, how many songs can leave a deep impression?

Even if I have heard this song before, how can I remember this kind of plain and insipid song, and the lyrics are something that Cai Pingping has never experienced and is not interested in.

But when the thirty-five-year-old uncle in front of him, with his head lowered, no expression on his face, staring blankly at the glass of iced capucino in front of him, but humming the song softly as if he was not focused, Cai Pingping suddenly found that she understood the mood and emotions behind the song at once.

Single...... Loss of freedom...... Afraid...... Lonesome......?

couldn't help chewing on the meaning of a few key words, Cai Pingping's face slowly turned red little by little.

When P.S. checked the review network, I found out that the branch of Shangdao Coffee was only opened in February 2012, and I am really sorry that I accidentally let it come out more than a year early. There's no way, let's just think of it as a parallel world.
