Chapter 66: The Promise of Chinese New Year's Eve

This time, Ye Luo and I stayed in Shenzhen for two days, and initially reached a cooperation intention with Semptian Department Store to distribute high-end customization in its department store, and at the same time learned from the senior management of Semptian Department Store that they were talking about the acquisition with the new green energy of the United States, I heard that Semptian Department Store's controlling party has suffered an unprecedented blow in the real estate field, so there is a plan to sell Semptian Department Store, it can be confirmed that the acquisition of funds will be an astronomical amount, and the group that does not have enough strength will not dare to get involved. Therefore, New Green Energy is currently the best choice for Semptian Department Store.

After returning to Suzhou, I set up a working group related to it, and soon formulated a plan for the implementation of the project, in just one month, we took the lead in online and offline before the Vincent Group, and at the same time realized the high-end customization of this service project, and the operation of this project also made the development of our website more diversified, and at the same time there was interaction between online and offline, which further accelerated the speed of our accumulation of users, and the Vincent Group realized the operation of the project in the month after us. But we have taken the lead, and because we are lagging behind, we are inevitably evaluated by the outside world as having no creativity, just following our footsteps to open up the market, and everyone is not optimistic that Vincent can win in the competition with us.

In this regard, Fang Yuan has never explained anything in public, but Vincent's decline has become more and more obvious, recently their advertising investment is very drastically decreasing, and at this time, we have increased the amount of advertising investment, in such a reversal, the traffic and turnover of our website have reached twice that of Vinsen, so far Wansen has been firmly suppressed at our lower level, in addition, Chuxinrui's investment group has also begun to change its strategy, they have sold a number of investment projects in their hands, Strive to protect the European market by Mi Cai hit by the Ouya electrical appliances, and Iesa investment to the Vincent Group has been a semi-abandoned attitude, at this time the Vincent Group can only rely on its own projects to support, if not the bank is afraid of its bankruptcy, can not recover a huge amount of funds, is still giving its loans to support the operation, I am afraid that the capital chain of Vincent has faced the danger of complete breakage, however, this is also the ability of Fang Yuan, in the past two years he has used the good form of the Vincent Group, continuous project development and acquisitions, and then capital operation, Tie the bank to its own commercial battleship and become the last straw for Vincent, but if Vincent's decline continues to spread, the bank will eventually lose patience under the premise of not seeing hope, and then get out of this bottomless pit of investment, and then Vincent will completely fall into a situation from which he will never recover!

It was a night of lights and stars, and the fireworks flashing in the sky seemed to sing a blessed ballad to bless this huge city, and I grasped this rare time, driving through the streets and alleys, feeling the subtle changes that have taken place in every neighborhood that I have been in close contact with every day!

Yes, in the blink of an eye, it is already the end of the year again.

I wandered around for a while, and then I bought two bottles of good wine at the cigarette shop down the street, and I was going to have dinner at Daddy and Mom's, who I hadn't seen for a week because I had been out on business lately, even though we were only a few streets away.

When I opened the door, my mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and Daddy was sitting on the sofa, filling the coffee table with coins, and then stacking them in neat rows, I put the wine I bought on the table, and asked him with a smile, "Daddy, what are you doing with so many coins?" I didn't notice you had a hobby of collecting this stuff before! ”

"You know what."

"Then you explain it to me, explain it."

Daddy motioned for me to sit down, then put the counted coins back into the piggy bank, and then said to me: "These coins are saved for my grandson to ride in the electric Malaysia, don't we have them at the entrance of the community, children like those things." ”

I felt guilty in my heart, I always felt that I had failed too much of my father and mother's eagerness to be grandparents, but I couldn't achieve anything for them at this stage, so I finally chose to be silent, and then contributed a few coins in my wallet, in fact, I also wanted to take my future son and daughter to play with those things that children like, but even though I was almost 30 years old, it was still so far away to think about.

Of course, I am also anxious about Mi Cai, I heard that women are not the best age to have children after the age of 30.

At this time, my mother also came to the living room with the prepared dishes, our family sat down at a huge dining table a little deserted, I and Ban Dad chatted as usual, while drinking the wine in the glass, my mother looked a little thoughtful, after a while, finally couldn't hold back and said to me: "Zhaoyang, I have a suggestion, can you listen to Mom?" ”

"I must listen to my own mother because I didn't pit my son!"

"When will you kid get rid of this flamboyant tongue?" My mother said to me with a smile on her lips that she was dissatisfied.

I really didn't feel like I was flamboyant, so I argued: "Mom, don't you think this is an eternal truth? ”

My mother was obviously not interested in such a dispute, her face became serious, and she was a little sad, and she said to me for a long time: "Zhaoyang, my mother is suggesting that you have a good talk with Xiaomi, seeing that the New Year is coming, let her come back this year!" Your dad and I haven't seen her for two years, if you hadn't said to us every once in a while: you are very good, there is no problem, we really can't believe it, she is still our daughter-in-law."

Of course, I know what their mood is in the past two years, and I also know how much mental suffering they have endured in order not to burden me, so I can't cruelly refuse this request, but I can't make a promise to them that it will be done, so I said conservatively: "I'll talk to her first and see if she can find time." ”

My mother got my reply that was not an affirmative, and she was already very happy, which added another point to the guilt in my heart, and I realized that I couldn't do it, this year, I first thought about it, so I had to beg Mi Cai to come back once, even if it was just a family meal together for Chinese New Year's Eve

After having dinner at Daddy's place, I went back to the old house, and the first thing I did was to turn on the computer, and then sent an email to Mi Cai, and the opening sentence was still the same sentence that has not changed for thousands of years: "Are you at work today?" ”

I know it's going to take a long time for this reply, but I'm still stubborn and don't want to do anything superfluous, so I just waited, but over time I found that I had bad luck, maybe Mi Cai didn't have a job today, so the chances of her logging into this work email were almost non-existent.

It was late at night, so I finally turned off my computer and lay down on my bed in a casual position, thinking about the chances that could have kept her from responding to my emails, which I admit was boring, but I was happy to do it, because more than anyone else, I wanted her to come back for a reunion.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, the phone finally rang with that familiar voice, I hurriedly picked it up from the side and looked at it, it was really Mi Cai who replied to my email, and she also used a very concise answer to make our question and answer seem very symmetrical, she said: "I don't go to work today." ”

"Oh, but do you have to look at your work email when you take a break?"

"I basically don't read it, I just want to know: Is there an email you sent to ask me if I have been at work, can I ask another question next time?"

"Resolutely don't change, I have to find out your work routine, so that I can find the best time to send you an email in the future!"

Mi Cai replied with a speechless expression, but inadvertently narrowed the distance between us, isn't this how the normal little couple chats, casual and relaxed, no need to chew the words, an expression can be in place, resolutely not send one more word, so I also replied to her with an angry expression!

Receiving this expression, she was a little nervous and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't intercede with me."

"Well, I won't send it in the future!" Mi Cai replied very meekly, but the text was followed by a series of various expressions, and finally ended with a smug expression, so I was sure that she had been in a good mood lately, so she played a little playful with me, and this is also one of her personalities, sometimes she is really not a woman who will put herself in a high position.

I smiled helplessly, although I looked at the phone, my face unconsciously became serious, and then I skipped the previous relaxation and sent her another message: "Tell you a serious thing, are you free for the Chinese New Year this year?" My parents hope that you can come back for a New Year, even if it's just a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner! ”

This time, Mi Cai didn't reply quickly, I knew it was a bit difficult for her, but two years of waiting had exhausted me, even if she was very difficult, I selfishly hoped that she could overcome these difficulties and come back to give this broken family a temporary whole.

After a full 20 minutes, she finally replied: "Well, I will definitely return to China before Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Really?"

"The promises I give will be kept!"

I jumped out of bed and raised my arms and shouted, after two years, I finally heard from her that I would be back, although only temporarily, but it was enough for me and my mother!

It took me a long time to calm myself down, and I hurriedly asked her again: "Do you want to spend the New Year in Xuzhou, or Suzhou?" ”

"Xuzhou, you and your uncle and aunt will go back to Xuzhou first, I should arrive on Chinese New Year's Eve."

"My parents will go back and prepare first, I'll wait for you in Shanghai, and then go to Xuzhou with you."

"I really don't need to, I want to meet you in Xuzhou, you can wait for me in our coffee shop."

I immediately understood what Mi Cai meant, in fact, she also recognized that time in Xuzhou was the most beautiful time in our lives, and I just remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve, she would stand outside the glass window of the coffee shop and say hello to me with a smile on her face, I already had a feeling of happiness in my heart that was about to faint, maybe by that day, I would forget the two years of waiting because of the countless pictures that had been staged, and only treat all this as a nap in the coffee shop, Then stop paying attention to this long-standing torment and loneliness!

Probably, that day she stood in the evening sunset, facing the wind that scattered everything, it would be a little more beautiful than ever! Thinking of this, I agreed to her proposal, and our meeting was set for Chinese New Year's Eve, in the video-themed coffee shop, which is also the one we worked hard for.

I reluctantly ended the conversation with Mi Cai, and I couldn't wait to tell the news to my father and my mother, especially my mother, who actually cried with joy on the phone, but this was not an overreaction, because this was the only signal in two years that they could see that we would be together.

Mi Cai, it's really time for her to come back!

Because Mi Cai confirmed that she will come back this year to spend a reunion with us, my recent mental state has been surprisingly good, and I don't feel tired at all when I go back and forth between various cities.

In the evening of this day, I returned to Suzhou from Guangzhou, but I still made an appointment with Yan Yan in advance to talk to her about the next stage of the online mall's advertising plan.

At this time, it is already off work time, but the lights are still bright in the Simei advertising, in the conference room of the design department and the planning department, there are still meetings in the tense progress, and Yan Yan is not idle, personally in the production department to control the quality of the production, I heard that this advertising production, is customized by the Transportation Bureau, although it is only a small business, but this is the first time to receive a list from government agencies after the re-emergence of Simei advertising, and this also means that the business channels of Simei advertising are all opened, and once again enter the ranks of top advertising, I believe that the political influence left by Janeway's parents on Simei advertising has completely disappeared in the past two years, and more advertising business from government agencies will continue to be received in the future; With this as a paragraph, Simei advertising has officially transitioned from the era of Janeway to the era of Yan Yan, except for a few old employees, I am afraid that no one remembers the name of the founder of Janeway.

Sitting in Yan Yan's office and waiting for a while, she came back from the production department, when even the next step of the advertising plan was handed to me, I carefully browsed, in the process, I also really felt the progress of Simei advertising, this advertising planning coincides with what I want, whether it is the timing of advertising and the choice of channels show top professionalism and reasonableness, I signed a total of 20 million advertising agency contract with Simei advertising.

After signing the contract, I chatted with Yan Yan again, the focus is still on Xiaohua, in fact, since Xiaohua was born, I really haven't seen her a few times, I heard Yan Yan say: She has been able to sit independently for a while, which stimulates my desire to see her even more, I really like her, but it's a pity that Mi Cai and I plan to have a child is still far away, otherwise I really want to make my own decisions and Yan Yan to order a doll kiss, of course, the premise is that Mi Cai has to give birth to a boy for me, But that was a few years later!

When I was about to leave, Yan Yan suddenly stopped me, her expression was a little hesitant, obviously what she was going to talk to me about next was something that she hadn't thought about whether she should talk about it or not.
