Chapter 535: New Year's Wishes
It's New Year's Day in a blink of an eye, and as soon as I wake up in the morning, I start replying to all kinds of text messages with New Year's wishes.
After lunch, Mr. Liu said that Boss Zhang invited people from our office to play mahjong at his place.
I don't have much interest in playing mahjong, I don't have a good impression of Boss Zhang, and besides, I don't want to see Manager Sui's annoying face.
If I can avoid them during the holidays today, I can't ask for it.
I told Mr. Liu that I didn't know how to play mahjong, and it would be a mess to go. In addition, I would like to watch the New Year's party "Blu-ray Night" in Russia, which I have been looking forward to for a long time.
Mr. Liu smiled and said, you can understand that party, then we won't force you.
Alone at home, I felt a sense of freedom that I hadn't felt in a long time.
I turn on my computer and connect to my home, I want to see what my parents are doing?
On the other end of the screen, I see my parents in summer clothes. My parents are on vacation in Hainan and enjoy the warm sunshine there. My mother smiled and only showed me the tall coconut trees outside the window.
I also showed them the half-human-high snow outside, and my mother shivered when she saw it and said that she felt cold through the screen! I saw that my family was safe. I'm in a super good mood.
Finally, we said a lot more to take care of each other before ending the video with satisfaction.
Staring at the computer, I suddenly wished that it would be nice if I could also have a video with Andre at this time!
I looked at my watch, and it was still morning in Zurich. Besides, where can Andrei be at the moment, maybe even he can't be the master. I can only passively wait.
It was their Christmas two days after the last conversation with Andre, and when I sent him a Christmas card, he didn't even reply.
Last Christmas Andrei asked where I would spend it? I told him that the holy Christmas in his mind was a normal Friday for me.
Now André may not think that Christmas really matters to me, so he doesn't share it with me anymore.
Before going to Tokyo, Andrei said that it would take him three months to set up an investment bank this time.
Is he facing shareholders who are struggling for their own interests, and I have a headache when I think about it.
This unlucky Andre, he may really not have much to do with the holidays. It seems that the next three months will be enough for him.
If he is happy about the holiday, he will naturally contact me, and if he can't even take care of the holiday, then I should not cause trouble for him.
Thinking of this, I didn't write a word to Andrei, but my Facebook has been online, hoping to receive André's message in time.
There is a large TV in the reception room of our office, but this TV is not very well used.
Director Zhu and Deputy Director Cheng basically don't watch TV. Xiaoshi sometimes opens it just to watch sports games. It's no wonder that he basically can't understand other programs. If you want to say that what attracts him the most is the South American TV series that you watch with Xiaobai. Now that drama has ended. As a boy, Xiaoshi really has no interest in soap operas.
Ever since I came, this TV has basically been for my own personal use.
Strange to say, this is the first time in my life that I have greeted the New Year alone, but I don't feel sad at all.
At this moment, I can accept Andre's message at any time, and I don't have to worry about being discovered by my mother like when I was in China. This freedom makes me feel more relaxed.
I went to the kitchen, tossed myself a big plate of chopped fruit salad, and made a couple of sandwiches with black and red caviar.
Finding that there was a small stone in the fridge to buy me a diramisu, I happily got myself a large cup of lemon black tea.
A small one-metre-tall Christmas tree next to the TV is lit up with small strings of yellow lights. I regained the feeling of welcoming the New Year in Russia for the first time in a long time.
At eight o'clock in the evening Moscow time, the wonderful "Blu-ray Night" New Year's party began on time.
It was the first time I watched the Blu-ray Gala on such a big TV screen. I was pleasantly surprised by the immersive sense of substitution.
While eating my favorite delicious food, I felt like I hadn't enjoyed it in a long time.
If Andrei were with me at the moment, it would be perfect! I said to myself.
Looking up at the quiet computer screen, I sighed.
Never mind! Being able to get in touch with Andre today is already the best New Year's gift for me, so I don't want to have Long Wangshu.
It's almost night, and the TV show shows that the New Year hasn't arrived yet for Europeans.
Could Andre have miscalculated the jet lag? Couldn't he have contacted me sooner? Do you have to call after midnight? I thought to myself a little dissatisfied, as I sipped my tea.
The hand was pointing to 12 o'clock, and my phone rang suddenly. I ran over excitedly and immediately answered the phone, and heard a male voice say in Russian:
- "Happy New Year! Linna! ”
- "Kept me waiting so long!" You hate it so much, can't you call earlier? It's quite punctual! Aren't you afraid of miscalculating jet lag? I shouted excitedly.
- "Linna? You're not in Irkutsk? Or am I really miscalculating the jet lag? Sergei asked in surprise.
- "Huh!? "I looked at my phone, and the picture of Sergei's avatar on the screen smiled at me.
- "How are you?" Sergei? Yes...... I...... I'm sorry, I ...... I thought it was ...... I...... So happy! …… It's nonsense, hehe...... This was the first blessing call I received. I'm so excited! Thank you for your best wishes ......"
Extremely embarrassed, I tried desperately to make excuses for myself and said incoherently, thinking to myself that it was good that he couldn't see my expression.
- "Really! I thought you were the wrong person! Sergey laughed.
- "I, I'm the ...... Hmm, hehe...... Where are you? I laughed dryly and digressed the subject.
- "I'm in Moscow, huh...... Lina, I didn't expect you to look forward to my call so much! Sergei teased.
- "It's exactly 12 o'clock." Sergey, you are always perfect! I looked at my watch and exclaimed.
- "It's not perfect, is it?" Maybe I should have called you earlier. Sergey continued to joke.
- "Don't laugh at me!" Send me a few New Year's wishes, the blessings at this time are the most effective. I said.
- "Really? The most effective! So what will you bless me? Sergei asked with a smile.
- "I wish you all the best, a long life, and Wishing you prosperity!" I said.
- "Hahaha...... "Wishing you prosperity"! It's the most interesting blessing I've ever heard. Sergey laughed.
- "Is that ridiculous?" "Wishing you prosperity" is the most popular New Year's greeting for us Chinese. I said
- "Well, that's a lot more honest than those blessings like a thriving career, I accept it!" Sergey said happily
The call with Sergey put me in a super good mood.
Looking at Andrei's non-online indicator icon on the computer, I thought to myself, maybe I was too eager to contact Andrei, so I felt that time was so difficult. Didn't Sergey just call!
It seems that Andrei's late contact with me is normal, and it is because of my own inner imbalance that I am dissatisfied with Andrei. After all, Zuri is two hours behind Moscow.
