Chapter 51: The First Day of the Lunar New Year (1)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky has just dawned, and the crackling firecrackers began to sound in Kyoto City, apparently someone is ready to eat dumplings for the New Year.
"Wake up~"
In the dormitory, Zhang Yang also made an exception to get up early in the morning, but judging from his vague mental state, his brain was still in a semi-comatose state.
In fact, he didn't want to get up, but today was a last resort, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, visiting friends and New Year's greetings, he didn't want to be blocked in the quilt by the visiting guests.
In the kitchen, Zhang Yicheng and his wife had already gotten up and were busy boiling water to cook dumplings, when they heard the door opening the bedroom, Liu Qing poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Lamb, up?"
"Hmm~"
At this time, Zhang Yang was still in a semi-confused state, and his face was also a cute look that he couldn't wake up, seeing this, Liu Qing couldn't help but laugh dumbly:
"Don't be confused, go wash up, it's time to go out for New Year's greetings after eating dumplings~"
Needless to say breakfast, you must eat dumplings on the first day of the new year, and after a simple breakfast, the family of three changed their coats and prepared to go out to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhang Yicheng and his wife grew up in an orphanage, so naturally they have no relatives, let alone Zhang Yang, this time they went out to say that it was a New Year's greeting, or more precisely, to visit their network and business partners.
"Dad~"
As soon as he walked out of the gate, before he walked a few steps, Zhang Yang seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped, and at the same time called Zhang Yicheng and his wife in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, the couple turned around, their faces were full of inquiry, Zhang Yang scratched his head, and explained with some embarrassment:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go out in the morning, Jin Li just told me last night, everyone is going to come over to greet me this morning~"
"Oh?"
There are guests visiting, no one at home is definitely not good, Zhang's father frowned a little embarrassed, originally he was going to take the opportunity of the New Year's greetings to take Zhang Yang to meet a few friends above, but he didn't expect that he couldn't leave because of something.
Seeing Zhang Yicheng's face embarrassed, Zhang Yang thought there was something wrong, and hurriedly asked:
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Ah~nothing~"
Awakened by the call, Zhang Yicheng waved his hand and explained:
"I originally wanted to take you to meet a few friends, since you have something, then forget it first, and talk about it later when you have a chance~"
Knowing a few friends, Zhang Yicheng didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Yang still guessed the meaning of the words, and although he felt sorry in his heart, he could only shake his head helplessly:
"Let's talk about it later, I've already made an appointment here~"
"Hmm~"
After the couple left, he was left alone in the dormitory, and after a little pondering, Zhang Yang got up and took out a large stack of envelopes and a small suitcase from the room.
In the suitcase, bundles of new banknotes were neatly stacked in the box, and when an envelope was opened, Zhang Yang picked up a stack of banknotes and stuffed it in.
This money is not used for gifts, but for the artist's year-end dividends, which is the content of the special contract, the year-end benefits that only Jin Li's group of veterans have, because the company is still in a state of loss this year, so it is not too much, just pretending to be 10,000 meanings.
Quickly packed five envelopes, and as soon as the small suitcase was placed, there was a knock on the door of the house, followed by Wang Bin's sloppy voice:
"Brother Yang, open the door quickly, we're here to greet you for the New Year~"
"It's coming, it's coming~"
In response, Zhang Yang got up and opened the door of the house, and as expected, Jin Li, Wang Bin and other five old guys came to him with large bags and small bags to greet him.
"Brother Yang, Happy New Year~"
"Brother Yang, Happy New Year~"
"Happy New Year~Happy New Year~"
Greeting each other for the New Year, Zhang Yang looked at the gifts they were carrying, and joked with a smile:
"Okay, it's all good, and I know that I have a gift for the New Year~"
Knowing that he was joking, everyone also responded with a smile:
"That's, you're the leader~ You have to stutter anyway~"
"That's it, it's just ~ I'm embarrassed to come empty-handed~"
"Let me see what you all brought to tie up with me as a leader~"
Saying that, he snatched the bags in everyone's hands and checked them one by one, in fact, there were no valuable things, knowing that Zhang Yang lacked nothing, and everyone only symbolically brought some food and specialties made at home, there was a small box of fried hairtail fish and smoked sausages, as well as some dried gourd strips, dried beans and other dry goods.
They all came out of the poor days, and Zhang Yang did not dislike the gifts brought by everyone, and directly pinched a piece of fried hairtail and stuffed it into his mouth.
Along the way, the fried hairtail has already become cold, although the taste may not be as delicious as the freshly fried, but the cold food has the taste of cold food, feeling the smoothness and tenderness of the fish meat in the mouth, and nodding uncontrollably:
"Well~ good, delicious~ Well, by the way, come into the house, come into the house~"
After getting along for so long, everyone understands Zhang Yang's temper, seeing him like this, everyone doesn't care, smiling and squeezing into the living room, after a commotion, the atmosphere is finally calm, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yang dropped the fish bone in his hand, and took out the five envelopes that had just been packed from his pocket.
"This year's dividend, 10,000 per person, don't be too little~"
"This~~"
The company's operation is not a secret, and everyone knows that the company lost a lot of money last year, but they didn't expect that even if the loss was so public, they didn't forget to prepare dividends for them, and for a while, everyone was a little surprised.
"I can't ask for this money,"
After being surprised, someone finally took the lead in speaking, this time it was Wang Bin who spoke, and the smile on his face was removed, and this young man who usually laughed and naughty rarely showed a trace of seriousness:
"Brother Yang, if it weren't for you and the company, there would be no Wang Bin today, now that the company is in a recession, I don't have the face to take this dividend~"
Hearing this, Gao Xiaosong and the others were silent at the same time, and then put the envelopes in their hands back on the coffee table, obviously their position was the same as Wang Bin, and they were unwilling to take this dividend when the company was losing money.
Look at Zhang Yang again, he is still eating slowly and methodically, and his expression has not changed at all, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, his heart has already turned upside down.
Impressed? It's false to say that he is not moved, after more than half a year together, he and this group of old brothers have already unconsciously produced an inexplicable feeling, Zhang Yang doesn't know what that feeling is, but that feeling is very heartwarming and makes him feel very comfortable.
"Take it all~"
Dropping the fish bones in his hand, Zhang Yang sucked the grease on his fingers, and threw out a sentence in his mouth:
"Take it all, I don't lack this money yet~"
"Brother Yang......"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the company's plans for next year~"
Through last year's three-month operation, he has seen the disadvantages of single-sector operation, so in this year's plan, he intends to diversify his development, in addition to continuing to expand the music sector, in addition to joining the two sectors of variety show production and film and television series investment and production.
With the progress of reform and opening up, the country's restrictions on culture are no longer as strict as before, and Zhang Yang wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity.
