Chapter 45: Christmas Eve
It was winter, the weather was cold, the pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry, and when it was about to get dark, Sullivan came to the company. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Today is Christmas Eve, and every employee has received the fruit of peace.
Su Liwen was no exception, Wang Xiaoyue, who had just walked in and just sat down, was wearing a pink down jacket, and walked over to hand him a peace fruit: "Merry Christmas!" ”
"Isn't it just a few hours until Christmas?" Sullivan quipped.
Wang Xiaoyue glanced at him angrily: "Can't I wish in advance!" ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, in the entire company, only Wang Xiaoyue dared to talk to the boss in this tone.
In today's Panda Company, the morale of the employees is even higher, the company's business is thriving, the Panda Butler has a bright future, and there is a boss who turns stones into gold, which makes the employees feel happy.
On December 15th, the company issued the first salary since its establishment, and the employees found that there was an additional performance award on the payroll, which made the already expensive salary thicker higher.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed, leaving Lei Huo, Miao Xiaoyu, and Xiaonan, and Miao Xiaoyu handed over the report and reported the financial situation to Su Liwen.
The company's net profit in November was 350,000 yuan, and so far in December, the company's sales revenue has been 530,000, expenditure has been 180,000, wages have been paid 130,000, and there are 570,000 cash in the bank account.
Next, Lei Huo reported to work, and he is now also the manager of the installation department.
Two-thirds of Dongsha's internet café market has signed contracts, and half of them have installed Panda Butler. The development of the online game "Seven Kingdoms" is progressing smoothly, and the outsourcing work is also progressing in an orderly manner, but it has encountered certain difficulties in the software algorithm, and it is hoped that the company will recruit several talents majoring in mathematics to work in the development department.
Su Liwen approved the matter, and finally Xiao Nan reported to work, after more than half a month of study and work, this thin young man had a strong look on his face, he was more confident, he had a deeper understanding of the skills he mastered, he was now fully capable of making money to support his family, and his body was filled with an optimistic mood.
Lei Huo on the side is also full of praise for Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan's talent in programming deeply impressed this 985 talent, only more than 20 days, Xiao Nan with two new employees to build two websites, it is a big miracle, even Lei Huo himself did not dare to say that he has this ability. Now, the whole company knows that there is a teenage wizard in the development department.
Su Liwen secretly thought that if he hadn't discovered Xiao Nan, this kid might have become a hacker.
The two websites are the official website of Panda Company and the website of the game forum, the official website is used to promote the company's image, the design is elegant and atmospheric, the layout is clean and clear, and it is pleasing to the eye. The game forum website draws on the design of the 17173 website in the later generations, and is divided into several sections: online games, stand-alone games, game guides, and game recommendations, but there is very little content at present, and it is slowly added after the domain name is registered. The purpose of a gaming website is not to make money, but to promote the games produced by the company and give players a platform to communicate.
The website has been built, and it is still necessary to register a domain name and lease a server, about the website domain name, Sullivan has taken precautions, and has already arranged for Lei Huo to preemptively register a lot of "", "", "", ""...
Sullivan doesn't have to worry about renting servers.
The official website of Panda Company is naturally "".
As for the preemptive registration, it is purely Sullivan's bad taste that is at fault, in later generations, Xiaomi's Lei always spent 360 US dollars to buy this domain name from a foreign country, this money is given to foreigners, it is better to put it in his pocket in advance, but the time is a bit long, it needs to wait until 2014, at that time, Xiaomi started the internationalization process, will negotiate the acquisition of the "" domain name.
…………
After dealing with the company's affairs, it was already more than nine o'clock, the north wind was howling outside the house, and it was pitch black, Su Liwen went out, didn't take a few steps, and collided with a black shadow head-on.
The black shadow snorted, it seemed to be a girl, this piece of street lights was scarce, the light was dim, Su Liwen looked at the person in front of him carefully, wasn't it Ah Ling's classmate Xiangxiang?
For Xiangxiang, Su Li Wenshu has no good feelings, this girl is very beautiful, but there is always a charm on her body, a girl who is only twenty years old, even her godfather recognizes her, and she is the fuse of the Dynasty Bar brawl. But if it weren't for her, Su Liwen wouldn't have had a chance to rescue Ma Dongcheng, every peck and drink, it's all providence!
Xiangxiang also saw Su Liwen clearly, she was a little happy and a little curious, and asked with a wink, "Su Liwen, why are you here?" She recently learned that her family's old house had been rented out and the tenant was a company, so she came to see it, and she grew up living here, even at night, she was not afraid.
Su Liwen has long suspected that this old house is Xiangxiang's home, when he first saw the landlord, he felt that the landlord and Xiangxiang were very similar, and sure enough, now Xiangxiang appeared nearby, which is enough to prove that the landlord and her are mother and daughter.
"I work here, why can't I be here?" Sullivan joked that the night was cold, and Xiangxiang wore a thick down jacket and her neck was retracted.
"Really, I heard Ah Ling say that you are only a freshman, why did you join the work? I don't believe it. Xiangxiang said in a coquettish voice, threw a wink at Sullivan, walked a few steps, walked to his side, and looked next to him as if there was nothing.
"If you don't believe me, I can't help it." Sullivan shrugged and asked her again, "By the way, this house belongs to yours, right?" ”
"Yes," Xiangxiang snorted, and said in surprise, "You're really doing things here!" That's great, I'll come to you to play with you in the future, hehe! ”
Su Liwen was noncommittal, Xiangxiang saw that he didn't react, pursed her small mouth, and stared at Su Liwen with a pair of flattering eyes, as if she was blaming him for not understanding the amorous feelings.
"I'm going back to school, let's talk next time." Su Liwen felt that he had nothing to talk to her, so he was ready to leave.
Xiangxiang suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and said seriously: "It's quite far from Dongsha University, I have a scooter at home, I'll send you back." ”
"Thank you, I'm used to it, so I won't bother you." Sullivan gently broke free from her and turned away, leaving a dark shadow for Xiangxiang.
Xiangxiang stared at the back of the distance unwillingly, some time ago, Ah Ling brought LV's bag back, she knew the price of this bag, more than 10,000 yuan, no need to ask, she also knew that this bag was given to Ah Ling by Sullivan.
As a result, her understanding of Sullivan has reached a higher level, and she has been regretting why she didn't know Sullivan first, the first night Sullivan came to the Dynasty Bar, she was the first to discover Sullivan, but at that time she thought he was just a poor boy and ignored him.
Who would have thought that this plainly dressed boy was a low-key rich second generation, and the LV bag was given away, and she regretted her intestines. What's so good about Ah Ling's little girl, how can I be so amorous and understanding? No, I must conquer Sullivan and make him surrender under my pomegranate skirt.
Su Liwen didn't care about Xiangxiang's thoughts, he hurried back, he made an appointment to meet Tang Yu tonight, who knew that there was something temporary on the company's side, so he had to postpone the time, and now the time is already more than nine o'clock, Tang Yu is afraid that he is in a hurry.
…………
In the girl's bedroom, Tang Yu held her cheeks with both hands, sat on a stool and waited for the phone call, the freckled girl felt funny, and persuaded: "You can call him and ask if you can't do it, when will you wait until you do this." ”
Tang Yu said angrily: "I won't!" ”
Wait, wait, wait, wait until nine o'clock, but a phone call came halfway, but unfortunately it was not Su Liwen calling, the more Tang Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply got into the quilt and didn't think about him.
"Jingle bell ......" phone rings.
Tang Yu was lying on the bed, not moving, but his ears were erected. The freckled girl looked at Tang Yu helplessly, walked to pick up the phone, hummed a few times, turned around and winked at Tang Yu: "He called!" ”
"Tell him I'm not happy and not available." Tang Yu was puffed up.
The freckled woman walked to the head of Tang Yu's bed and said, "You tell him yourself, so I won't be caught in the middle to be a microphone." ”
Tang Yu snorted: "Then you tell him that I don't want to talk to him and hang up the phone." ”
"Am I really hanging up?" The freckled woman jokingly said, she knew Tang Yu's temperament very well, and she was about to hang up the phone when she walked to the phone, Tang Yu hurriedly jumped out of bed, rushed over to grab the microphone, and scolded softly into the microphone: "Where have you been, you said that you were busy, it's more than nine o'clock, hum!" I don't want to pay attention to you, you can do it. ”
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Tang Yu gradually became happy, and after putting down the phone, he stuck out his tongue at the freckled girl, straightened his hair in the mirror, and jumped down.
…………
When she got downstairs, she saw Su Liwen standing in the dim light from a distance, Tang Yu deliberately put her little face up, walked over slowly, and only walked a few steps, a cold wind poured in from the gate, so cold that she shrunk her neck, she secretly thought: It's so cold outside, don't freeze him.
Thinking like this, she quickened her pace, and when she got closer, Su Liwen's hands were empty, and she didn't bring peace fruit, she couldn't help but sulk again, and stood in front of Su Liwen angrily, staring at him prettyly and not speaking.
Sullivan took out a peace fruit from his arms like a trick, showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "A peace fruit, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" ”
Tang Yu turned his anger into joy at this time, pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, you still have a conscience." ”
Su Liwen took out a delicate small box, opened the lid, took out a silver necklace, spread out his hands and handed it to Tang Yu, and said with a smile: "I gave it to you, do you like it?" ”
This necklace was bought a few days ago, and Su Liwen wanted to buy a gold necklace, but he was worried that Tang Yu would refuse, so he bought a silver necklace.
"For the sake of your sincerity, I reluctantly accepted it." Tang Yu was overjoyed, the unhappiness just now had already been thrown to Java, she raised her head, held back her shame, and said, "You can help me bring it." ”
Su Liwen helped her tie the necklace, the skin on Tang Yu's neck could be broken by blowing, the tentacles were warm, and the snow-white skin with the dazzling necklace was even more charming, and he praised from the bottom of his heart: "Tang Yu, you are so beautiful." ”
Tang Yu listened to her boyfriend's sincere praise, her heart was as sweet as eating honey, her face was red, she took the initiative to hold Su Liwen's arm and said, "Let's go." ”
Although the weather is cold, it can't stop the fiery hearts of young couples, and on the night of Christmas Eve, couples get together in twos and threes, each complaining from their hearts, you and me.
The two walked around the girls' dormitory building in Area A, the chairs on the roadside were full of couples, and they couldn't find a vacant seat, so they had to find a leeward place and snuggle for a long time, and then they reluctantly dispersed.
…………
When I returned to the dormitory, it was past ten o'clock, and my roommates had all returned from the computer room.
With Sullivan's guidance, the development of the social networking site is progressing very quickly and is close to completion, and everyone has learned a lot of programming skills, and faintly regards Sullivan as half a teacher.
Everyone was discussing the topic of the website in full swing, Su Liwen's mobile phone rang, it was A Ling calling, Su Liwen felt a little guilty in his heart, this guilt was very wonderful, I don't know if it was Tang Yu's guilt, or Ah Ling's guilt.
Ah Ling called at noon, and asked Su Liwen to spend Christmas Eve with him, Su Liwen excused himself from being very busy recently, and politely refused, and after chatting with Ah Ling in a subtle mood, Lan Ziyu called again, and the phone conversation lasted for a long time, mainly because Lan Ziyu introduced the recent development of the milk tea shop to Su Liwen.
Lan Ziyu has now become a busy person, busy with the work of the bubble tea shop during the day, and has to go to night school at night.
The bubble tea shop now has 18 stores in Dongsha City, with an average daily turnover of more than 50,000 yuan and a profit of more than 30,000 yuan, but there are only 20,000 cash on the books, and the profits are used to expand new stores.
There are more than 5 million citizens in Dongsha City, and the 18 bubble tea shops are far from meeting the needs of the market, and even if there are 100 bubble tea shops, the market will not be saturated. Competitors have emerged one after another, and Lan Ziyu plans to control the milk tea branches in Dongsha City within 30, control the quality, specialize in mid-range milk tea, and do not participate in low-price competition.
Lan Ziyu decided to register a company, standardize the operation of the milk tea business, expand the milk tea business to the whole province, develop a number of franchisees in the prefecture and city, and set up an operation team to develop in the first-tier cities of the country.
Su Liwen recognized Lan Ziyu's plan and reminded her that she must pay attention to the quality of products, and for franchisees, they must also be strictly supervised and standardized.
After the phone call with Lan Ziyu, a light rain fell outside the window, the rain was thin, soft, and fell on the window, and it didn't take long for the glass to blur.
Su Liwen walked to the balcony, his heart was excited, Panda Company and milk tea business have been successful, and he is making great strides, roughly calculated, his net worth is more than one million, far more than the peak of later generations.
After the sound, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In 2014, Sullivan's last relationship ended, and the woman's reason for breaking up was that there was no house. At that time, Sullivan was already thirty years old, which was a very embarrassing age for a man without a career.
The gray-haired parents thought that they couldn't find their daughter-in-law without a house, and their son was unwilling to go home to live, so they took out the coffin book to buy a house for this only son, plus Su Liwen's own savings of 200,000 yuan, bought a second house in the corner area of Pengcheng, paid a down payment of more than 400,000 yuan, and had to pay a lot of mortgages every month, and lived a very cramped life. At that time, he was painful, confused, and uneasy, and he didn't know where his goal in life was, what he should do, and where he would go.
Perhaps, the road of life is like this, go all the way to see the way, can't grasp the direction, some people fall at the starting point, some people fall in the middle, more people come to the end, and this life will come to an end.
What is the meaning of life?
What exactly should you aspire to?
Is life as bright as summer flowers, and death as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves?
Sullivan doesn't know!
…
The winter night, dark and deep, the rain was still falling, Sullivan thought a lot, a lot.
