The twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

The weather was gloomy, and the cold wind was like a knife whizzing into the collar of the neck.

Qin Guanglin took half a day off, drove to the train station, and reluctantly instructed her not to run around at night for half a day, and watched her get on the bus before going back to the company.

This distinction is at least 10 days.

It is the longest separation between two people after they are together.

It's still a little hard to get used to...... Qin Guanglin listened to soothing music all the way back to the company, and as soon as he took off his scarf and hat, he was pulled to the office by Chen Rui.

"What's wrong?"

"Of course there are happy events."

Chen Rui smiled and sorted out a few documents from the desk, "Although we have only been working together for more than half a year, we have shared joys and hardships together......

"Don't sensationalize." Qin Guanglin hurriedly interrupted, "I'm just doing what I need to do." ”

"Hah...... Seriously, if you hadn't worked overtime with me until midnight in the past few months, it would have been difficult for the company to survive, which is the truth. ”

"Recruitment, outsourcing, it won't be unsustainable, right?" Qin Guanglin felt that at most, it was just a big injury to his vitality, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, and he was far from being able to hold on.

"It's easy to outsource, but it's hard to get it back, a comic is still our main product for several people to draw, not to mention ......" Chen Rui smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't talk about that, anyway, in the past few months, the two of us have stayed up until the early hours of the morning from time to time...... Well...... I want you to be a director......"

Seeing that Qin Guanglin was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, Chen Rui stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, and continued: "Of course, now we are all the same people-so let it go first, and when there are more of us and dozens of people, we will bring it up to you." ”

"So the happy event is this postponed director? It's not just that-" Qin Guanglin felt that according to Chen Rui's style of doing things, it was not so simple, and there might be surprises later.

"Of course not."

Chen Rui's words made him excited, and he rubbed his hands and leaned out, "What else?" ”

"You'll find out later." Chen Rui didn't plan to say it now, after mentioning the matter of the director, he reached out and pushed the information in his hand to Qin Guanglin.

"This is the plan for the beginning of next spring, you can help refer to the reference...... When you go home for the holidays, you can also refer to it, and finish the rest of the things, we will take a holiday, not any 28 or 29 days, just take an early vacation, after all, these months are not ordinary hardship. ”

"Okay, then I'll get busy first."

Qin Guanglin put away the documents, turned around and went out to continue drawing his own comics.

This small company is not airborne, the position of second-in-command...... It should be stable.

Approaching the end of work, Chen Rui looked at the progress of the work, clapped his hands and summoned everyone to a circle on the side of the table, made a simple year-end summary, and held a meeting to say something.

After the summary, I brought out another travel bag, and began to take out a pile of money from it, just like I did at the end of October.

"Everyone has worked hard in the past few months."

Chen Rui glanced around, and he could clearly see the joy on everyone's faces.

Everyone likes the year-end bonus, especially the year-end bonus issued by such a generous boss.

"In October, half of the company left, and I don't want to mention them again."

"With the rest of us working overtime, we still got everything done, and we did it pretty well."

Chen Rui looked at everyone, finished sentence by sentence, and bowed slightly.

"I want to thank you."

“……”

Everyone was silent, waiting for Chen Rui's next words.

"They left, they left, we stayed, and we did things well, so the salary and bonus that should have belonged to them......" Chen Rui patted the money on the table and said with a smile: "The company is not something I can support alone, and I don't think it would be good to save such a large amount of expenses. ”

"In a way, we would like to thank them for leaving."

……

I don't know who gave Chen Rui the idea, the year-end bonus sent a wad of cash, a bag of bags, Qin Guanglin was speechless to get off work, first went to the bank to save the 80,000 yuan in his hand, and then drove in the direction of home.

80,000 is a salary plus commission plus year-end bonus, what kind of ratio he didn't take a closer look, and the salary slip was directly torn and thrown away.

Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, you can't calculate so much, you can only say that Chen Rui is generous - according to Chen Rui's words, he himself gets the same salary as Qin Guanglin, the same salary, and the commission is also strictly calculated.

Humming a little song all the way home and opening the door, Qin's mother was eating Coke chicken wings and eating happily, and when she saw Qin Guanglin coming in, her mouth was still shiny.

"Why are you back again?"

“…… I guess you didn't cook my meal? Qin Guanglin's good mood froze instantly.

It's so fragrant, but it doesn't have his share.

"You didn't say you were coming back to eat...... Why? Coming home for the New Year? ”

"Yes, she went back, and I will go to River City to pick her up in the next year, and by the way, I will go to the door of my future father-in-law's house...... Eh, why is there nothing in the refrigerator? ”

Qin Guanglin opened the refrigerator as he spoke, it was empty, only some small pickles or something, or the kind that he taught Qin's mother to make a long time ago.

Mother Qin gnawed on the chicken bones and said, "Why do I save so many vegetables by myself, eat fresh food every day...... You order takeout. ”

"I still order takeout ...... for the Chinese New Year" Qin Guanglin's plan to cook by himself was forced to be suspended, and he went out again in a low voice, "I'll go to Shaxian to see if it's open." ”

just earned 80,000 yuan, but I still have to run out to eat Shaxian steamed dumplings...... Fortunately, Shaxian hadn't gone home for the New Year, and Qin Guanglin ate a big bowl of noodles angrily, barely satisfied with his burps.

"I just sent 80,000." He held his phone and showed off.

"Wow, that's amazing."

The reply seemed perfunctory.

Qin Guanglin took a photo of the empty drawer and empty bowl on the table and sent it over, "Then I ate the steamed dumplings from the Shaxian Hotel."

"Wow, you eat so much, I want to eat too!"

"......" Qin Guanglin found that she didn't grasp the point, so he had to remind, "As soon as you leave, I can only live this kind of hard life."

"When I go back, I'll make you a big table of delicious food to compensate you."

Qin Guanglin was satisfied, and after talking to her about opening the video at night, he put away his mobile phone to check out, and went home humming a little song.

"Have you eaten enough?"

Mother Qin had already cleaned up the table, holding a cup of fat sea tea and slowly sipping it, and asked when she saw him come back.

"I'm full."

"Sit down, I've got something to tell you."

Qin Guanglin was about to go back to the bedroom for video chatting, when he heard her words and paused, "What's the matter?" ”

Whenever Qin's mother said, 'You sit down and have something to say', the skin on his body tightened.

It's certainly not an ordinary thing to be so serious.

Qin's mother didn't reply, took a sip of fat sea tea, raised her eyes to look at him, and waited for him to sit down before she groaned, and said, "Are you going to get married or buy a house first?" ”

"Buying a house...... You have to be able to afford it. Qin Guanglin breathed a sigh of relief, "You sponsor me?" Wait until next year if I make a lot of money, make a down payment and put it into a set, and then I'll propose......"

"Wait, you wait." Qin's mother stretched out her hand to interrupt, "Are you planning to buy a house first and then get married, or get married first and then buy a house?" ”

"If you can buy it first, of course you will buy it first." Qin Guanglin said without hesitation, and after a pause, he realized that Qin's mother had something to say, and pursed his lips and said, "This...... Let's talk about it then, she and I don't need to think so much - it's both the two, why do we know so well. ”
