Chapter 199: New Year
New Year's Hong Kong decoration is new, each door has been pasted with a beautiful couplet, everyone is wearing new clothes, beaming, meeting fists arched hands, "Happy New Year, good luck!" ”
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Lang followed Chen's father to send his grandparents back to the tea restaurant, and then greeted his grandparents' neighbors for the New Year, hoping that everyone could take more care of the two elders.
Although the grandparents are in good health, after all, they are getting older, and they have to guard the tea restaurant and are unwilling to live at home, which makes Chen's father very worried.
Fortunately, grandparents usually have a good relationship with everyone, and everyone pats their chests and says that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if something really happens, everyone will not care.
Next, Chen Lang and his parents went to Chen's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings, there are more people here, Chen's mother has many brothers and sisters, and everyone is full of smiles when they see Chen Lang's family.
Especially Chen Lang's grandparents held Chen Lang's hand and didn't let go, and praised his grandson vigorously, "He looks so good!" "Better than your dad!" "Our family has a big star too!"
In front of his grandparents and grandmother, Chen Lang also pretended to please the second elder, and finally escaped from the enthusiastic second elder and fell into the hands of the aunts and uncles.
After all, the work is relatively easy, and the salary is not lower than that of ordinary clerks, and there are bonuses for good performance, and the maximum amount of money can be 2000 yuan, which is very good now.
Chen Lang saw the enthusiasm of these aunts and uncles, but he just smiled and nodded and said yes.
"By the way, Lang Lang, I heard that the business in Lang Lang Qiankun store is very good, and four new branches are going to be opened." The second aunt asked with a grin.
"Business is good, and we are indeed going to open four more branches." Chen Lang nodded when he heard this.
"Then there should be a shortage of people in your store, it just so happens that I have a relative who is well-behaved and sensible, and she works diligently, or you will accept her, right?" As soon as the second aunt's words came out, the rest of them also began to promote their relatives.
Chen Lang looked at the posture in front of him and really had no choice, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I don't know much about this, my dad is now resigned and my mother is in charge of the affairs of Lang Lang Qiankun's store, you ask my parents specifically, I'll go see your brothers and sisters first." ”
After Chen Lang finished speaking, he ran to his cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, everyone was very happy to see Chen Lang coming, after all, being able to have a big star brother makes everyone feel that they have a lot of face, and they can boast in front of everyone, although they have basically never seen it, but after all, they have a layer of blood relationship.
It's just that these brothers and sisters seem to be a little restrained after seeing Chen Lang, and they don't have the active play when they were together.
However, after getting along with Chen Lang for a while, I found that Chen Lang was approachable, after all, he was a child, and soon everyone got along well, and the atmosphere was no longer embarrassing.
Today, Chen Lang visited relatives everywhere all day, and the next day Chen Lang went out to find his girlfriend by himself, and the two who hadn't seen each other for a few days missed each other very much, and hugged each other tightly as soon as they met, and then walked on the lively and festive street, and from time to time they could meet a few fans who recognized Chen Lang and came to ask for autographs.
Chen Lang naturally responded one by one, and at the same time, a female classmate also took out a paper-cut and gave it to Chen Lang.
"Lang Lang really thank you very much, my sister has passed the selection meeting and went to Lang Lang Qiankun's branch to train and work in the New Year, thank you so much, but I don't have much money to buy expensive gifts for you, only this paper cut I cut myself for you, I hope you don't dislike it." The female classmate seemed to be a little nervous and inferior, and she didn't dare to look at Chen Lang when she spoke.
Chen Lang smiled and took over the paper-cut that had been framed in the glass, and the cut was the image of Chen Lang jumping in space, which was vivid, and Chen Lang was very happy to see it.
"What I care about is not how much money you spend for me, what I care about is your sincere support for me, I feel your heart from this gift, I am very satisfied, this is the second best gift I have received this year."
When the female classmate heard Chen Lang's words, she saw Chen Lang looking at her paper-cut with a satisfied face, and she was happy in her heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Yes, that's really good, but what's the best gift?" ”
Chen Lang was silent when he heard this, looking at the little Tang beauty beside him, everyone didn't understand Chen Lang's mind when they saw Chen Lang's eyes, and they all laughed and coaxed.
Tang Xiaomei was also amused by Chen Lang, but it was not good to show it in front of everyone, she held back the joy in her heart, pretending not to notice Chen Lang's movements and looked at the big red lantern on the side, but the corners of her mouth curved revealed her good mood.
After saying goodbye to these fans, Chen Lang and Tang Xiaomei continued their two-person world, at this time, because it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were very few people on the street.
"Pepe, I see that my uncle and aunt also like me, why don't I go to greet them today?" Chen Lang asked suddenly.
"But my parents weren't at home, and they both went to the United States." Tang Xiaomei said.
"I've all gone to the United States, why did I go to the United States on the second day of the Lunar New Year?" Chen Lang wondered.
"In fact, our Tang family's business has always been on the west coast of the United States, my father has five brothers and sisters, and my uncle and two uncles are all managing the family business in the United States, and my father was arranged to come to Hong Kong to expand the business. Tang Xiaomei said.
"Is your Tang family still a family business? I thought your Tang family was a rich man in Hong Kong, but I didn't expect your family to be so powerful. Chen Lang really didn't expect that the Tang family's basis was actually in the United States.
"Well, my dad is in the United States for the New Year, and there are a lot of business things to be summarized and dealt with at the end of the year, so he is not in Hong Kong." Tang Xiaomei looked at Chen Lang and said with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Then why didn't you go to the United States with your dad, because I stayed." Chen Lang said with a smile.
Tang Xiaomei showed a trace of pain in her eyes when she heard this, but she quickly covered it up, hugged Chen Lang tightly all of a sudden, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about this, let's hurry up and have a good time." ”
Chen Lang hugged Tang Xiaomei tightly and smiled, "No problem, let's go." ”
As he spoke, he pulled up Tang Xiaomei and ran all the way, and Tang Xiaomei also hid the haze in her heart and happily accompanied Chen Lang to play.
The two happily accompanied each other for a day and finally kissed goodbye in front of the Repulse Bay villa, "You're going to come to me tomorrow, you know?" ”
"No problem, I have nothing to do until the eighth day of junior high school, I can always be with you." Chen Lang looked at Tang Xiaomei, who seemed to have become obsessed all of a sudden, and smiled.
"Well, it's a good idea." After kissing goodbye again, Chen Lang saw Tang Xiaomei disappear into his eyes before he took a taxi and rushed home.
At the moment when Chen Lang turned around, Tang Xiaomei appeared at the door of the villa again, and watched Chen Lang's taxi gradually move away before sighing in a low voice, "I hope the situation is not so bad." ”
When Chen Lang returned home, he found that Brother Qi Wenjiejie, who had not been seen for many days, was actually sitting on the sofa, so he jokingly arched his hand, "Brother Jie, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!" ”
"Okay, I just have a red envelope for you." After speaking, Qi Wenjie put a red envelope in Chen Lang's hand.
"There are really red envelopes." Chen Lang didn't expect Qi Wenjie to really bring a red envelope, and then opened the red envelope and saw that it was a check, and he was even more surprised when he saw the number, "Brother Jie, you have made a fortune, give me such a big red envelope?" ”
"Don't you want a red envelope, I'll give you a big one." Qi Wenjie smiled happily when he saw Chen Lang's surprised appearance.
"Don't be kidding, Brother Jie, where did you get a red envelope of more than four million?" When Chen Lang saw this red envelope, he knew that Qi Wenjie must have something to do with him.
"This is the dividend that belongs to you so far in the first episode of the "Zhu Xian" comic." Qi Wenjie said excitedly, it seems that he must have gained a lot, although the company has taken the lion's share, but the reward for him should be a lot.
"But this is only the sales of the first episode, and only four parts of the pure profit can reach 4.68 million Hong Kong dollars, is this comic really so profitable?" Chen Lang looked at the four zeros behind 468 and said suspiciously.
"Hehe, now Hong Kong's comics have always been in short supply, basically as long as the quality of comics reaches the average level, they can make a fortune, but the difference between earning more and earning less, except for "Zhu Xian", because "Zhu Xian" is a big profit." Qi Wenjie was also excited when he talked about the hot sales of "Zhu Xian".
"Zhu Xian" sold the highest single book sales record in history in Hong Kong, and the sales in Taiwan and Southeast Asia are also very good, although it did not set a record, but the results are also very bright, and the most important market is Japan, in Japan, "Zhu Xian" also created a single book sales record, of course, it is the single book sales record of Hong Kong comics in Japan." Qi Wenjie danced and explained to Chen Lang.
"So far, "Zhu Xian" has sold 220,000 copies in Hong Kong, 430,000 copies in Taiwan, 450,000 copies in Southeast Asian countries, and 850,000 copies in Japan, adding up to a total of 1.95 million copies, which is the highest sales record for a single book in Hong Kong." Qi Wenjie has entered a state of madness.
"No, I just came back from Japan two days ago, and I got the sales statistics of more than 500,000 copies, how did it increase to 850,000 copies in just a few days?" Chen Lang wiped the saliva that Qi Wenjie squirted and asked.
"This is the difference between sales and shipments, now as long as one more volume is printed, we can get the copyright tax of one volume, and the Japanese side seems to be very confident that it has been printed to 850,000 copies, so there will be such a big red envelope." Qi Wenjie heard Chen Lang's question, so he gave Chen Lang a popular science.
