At that time, when Han Lu and the others were hired, they didn't even have an employment contract, basically they took as much as Zhou Muyan paid, but they didn't expect that there would be a year-end bonus for the New Year.

The main reason is that Zhou Muyan has made a lot of money this year, although the money earned has little to do with Han Lu and them, but after all, they live together, and these girls are quite well-behaved, so Zhou Muyan was very compassionate, taking advantage of the snow in the past few days, he took a few girls to set up a hot pot in the backyard, bought some mutton, and everyone happily ate hot pot together, and then when they ate hot pot, Zhou Muyan took out red envelopes and sent them one by one.

Han Lu is five hundred, and Yang Man is six hundred.

"Come, Xinxin, it's yours." Zhou Muyan also gave Yang Xin a small red envelope, which contained two hundred yuan, in fact, Yang Xin didn't think that she had it, because the two sisters were in a special situation, Yang Xin was not yet an adult, Zhou Muyan directly paid Yang Man's salary, but the 200 was specially given to Yang Xin.

Yang Xin was flattered and said thank you boss over there. Zhou Muyan chuckled and touched Yang Xin's head and said, "Study hard, and take the university entrance examination in the future to make your sister worry." Han Lu took the red envelope and opened it on the spot, when she found that there were five hundred yuan in the red envelope, she was flattered, and couldn't help but say, it's a little too much, I don't usually come here, but I came to help when I didn't have class, mainly Sister Man was busy here.

"So your sister Man takes more than Ling, you will take it if you give it to you, and say that I am skinning behind my back every day, do you think I am really so stingy?" Zhou Muyan said complainingly.

Han Lu stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and finally said a few auspicious words, such as thank you boss, the boss made a fortune!

Zhou Muyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and then asked them when they planned to go home for the New Year. Approaching the end of the year, Zhou Muyan planned to drive home in the past two days, Han Lu's family was in Sichuan and Chongqing, and he booked a ticket, which was also the last two days, and then Yang Man was a little hesitant, she said that she didn't plan to go home for the New Year, after all, there was nothing to worry about in Yang Man's village, and the living conditions in the Internet café were much better than in the village, so Yang Man planned to take her sister to spend the New Year in the Internet café.

Yang Man was afraid that Zhou Muyan would not agree, and said, boss, don't worry, these days when you are away, the Internet café will be open normally, and then I will not be greedy for money.

Zhou Muyan shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this, the main thing is that I'm afraid that during the New Year, you and your sister will be here, and it will be inconvenient for you to be mixed in the Internet café, otherwise this is good, you can just close the Internet café in the New Year." ”

"This." Yang Man didn't want to close the Internet café, because even if the business of the Internet café was not as good as before during the holidays, there was still money to be made.

However, Zhou Muyan waved his hand and said, the main customer groups faced by our Internet cafes are those college students, and you may not be able to make money by receiving those mixed customers during the New Year.

"Just listen to me about this matter, in the ten days of the Chinese New Year, the Internet café will be closed, you take your sister to take a good walk in Jinling, so I will give you another two hundred yuan." Saying that, Zhou Muyan took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Yang Man, Yang Xin opened a pair of big eyes, and just watched Zhou Muyan take out two hundred yuan and hand it over to his sister.

In Yang Xin's opinion, Zhou Muyan is really the best good person in the world, not only took in himself and his sister, but also treated his sisters so well, Yang Xin feels that such a man is not an exaggeration, this little girl has never had much contact with men in reality, and there is no other entertainment activity in the Internet café, usually watching TV series or watching romance on the computer, the age of the flower season is when the girl is pregnant with spring, and it is natural to have a crush on Zhou Muyan.

Not to mention that Yang Xin has a crush on Zhou Muyan, it is Yang Man, in the face of Zhou Muyan's repeated care, his heart can't help but be a little loose, to be honest, that is, Zhou Muyan is too kind, for these two helpless sisters, Zhou Muyan really wants to get them, it is really effortless.

Although it was natural for Zhou Muyan to give Yang Man an extra 200 yuan, Han Lu would feel a little apprehensive if he substituted himself into a part of the Internet café and saw that the boss was so good to Yang Man.

This is a normal psychology, and Han Lu is only a little apprehensive, but she quickly suppressed the feelings in her heart.

In the next two days, Han Lu went home first, Zhou Muyan was idle and had nothing to do to send Han Lu to the station, and only left after seeing Han Lu enter the station, Han Lu didn't have much money in his hand, he wanted to go home on that kind of green train, Zhou Muyan didn't say that he wanted to help her buy a plane ticket or a high-speed rail ticket or something, after all, Zhou Muyan is not a warm man, it is impossible to say that he is meticulous in the face of every girl, and treats the Yang Man sisters well, that is because the Yang Man sisters are really helpless and will become their own help in the future.

And Han Lu is now a student in an institution of higher learning, and her future is limitless, even if she is relegated to her own small Internet café now, no one can say what she will do in the future.

It is impossible for Zhou Muyan to meet anyone who is all kinds of good, and he and Han Lu can only be said to be classmates with a slightly better relationship at present.

After Han Lu left, Zhou Muyan stopped in Jinling for a few days, mainly because Zhou Guowei was looking for himself, the New Year was coming, Zhou Guowei's dinner was more, he used to go to the banquet alone, but now that his son has grown up, he will definitely bring his son to his side and gradually transfer his connections to his son.

For these, Zhou Muyan had no reason to refuse, and showed a rare proficiency in dealing with people, which made Zhou Guowei feel gratified.

Zhou Guowei is now semi-retired, and even began to do business with Wen Qing openly, but he still has some connections in the official face.

He himself doesn't want to do anything in officialdom, but as his only son, Zhou Guowei has always wanted to train Zhou Muyan in his career.

Therefore, when leading Zhou Muyan to visit his colleagues and friends, or having dinner with them, Zhou Guowei will focus on introducing Zhou Muyan.

Zhou Muyan actually just went through the motions to deal with it, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

It was a wine party a year ago, Zhou Guowei pulled Zhou Muyan to meet his former colleague, this colleague was a newcomer when Zhou Guowei first joined the work at that time, the two were sent to the same township, lived in the same dormitory, stayed together for two years, and then because of their different circumstances, they had different developments.

Zhou Guowei's current development has reached its peak, and it is impossible to go further, and at this time, although the title of the colleague in front of him is the same as Zhou Guowei, he is already a big official and holds real power.

Zhou Guowei didn't want to trouble him when he came to him, he just wanted to introduce his son to a friend.

When Zhou Muyan was born, this colleague's daughter was already three years old, and she smiled and said that she wanted to marry Zhou Guowei.

Zhou Guowei was only in his twenties at the time, so he naturally said, my son is not looking for a girl older than himself.

"That's not possible, maybe our nephew likes girls older than him, this so-called, female junior hugs gold bricks!" The colleague smiled poorly and hooked Zhou Guowei's shoulder.

At that time, it was a joke when it was boring, but now twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and each other has their own lives, and when they meet again, they will inevitably sigh and sigh for a while.

Zhou Guowei's colleague looks a little more gentle, with black-framed glasses, a few years older than Zhou Guowei, but he looks older, when they met, the other party sighed and said, Old Zhou, you haven't changed much in the past ten years, you see how old I have become.

Zhou Guowei said, you are for the country and the people, unlike me, even if you want to serve the country and the people, you don't have this opportunity.

When my colleague heard this, he pretended to be unhappy and said, What are you talking about, no matter where you go, you still serve the country and society.

"This is the eldest nephew, right? Wow, it's all so high, where are you studying this year? ”

"Jinling University." Zhou Muyan answered truthfully. Zhou Guowei interjected rarely: "He is the champion of this year's college entrance examination, and he originally wanted to come to Qingbei, but I didn't go." ”

"I'm going to criticize you for this, since my son has this ability, why don't you give it away?" The man criticized Zhou Guowei for a while, and then said, but ah, our Jinling University is not bad.

"My daughter is also studying at Jinling University, and she is a junior this year, so she is your senior sister." Qiao Jincheng sat on the sofa and said while drinking tea.

To tell the truth, Zhou Muyan looked at Qiao Jincheng's face and vaguely felt familiar with someone, and then they were all surnamed Qiao, at this time, Qiao Jincheng said that his daughter was in her third year at Jinling University, and Zhou Muyan could guess who it was.

"It's called Qiao Xuan, do you know the eldest nephew?" Sure enough, Qiao Jincheng said later. Zhou Muyan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, so he said, President Qiao of the student union naturally knew him.

Speaking of his daughter, Qiao Jincheng still showed a little relief on his face, he waved his hand and said what the president, the honor in the school is unworthy of being out of society.

Zhou Muyan laughed twice and didn't speak, just listen to this kind of thing, and Zhou Guowei listened to it over there and asked: "Your daughter is a junior, are you talking about a boyfriend?" ”

"The day before yesterday, I was talking to her mother about this, this girl is good at everything, but her vision is too high, and she said that she should start a business first and then start a family, don't you say this is nonsense, what kind of business does the little girl's family have, I hope she will determine her boyfriend as soon as possible, and she will be busy with work in the future, where will she have time to talk about friends." Qiao Jincheng said that he was a little depressed, he didn't have too much daughter slave mentality, when to do things, he and his wife started to fall in love when they were seventeen years old, and they already had Qiao Xuan at the age of 19.

My daughter is now a junior in college, and after graduation, work will only be busier, so it's better to settle things in advance, so that you can focus more on work in the future.

Speaking of which, Qiao Jincheng feels that Zhou Muyan, who is standing next to Zhou Guowei, is very good, he looks talented, and his family knows the roots.

"Old Zhou, this kid is 19 this year, right? Got in love? Qiao Jincheng asked. Zhou Guowei knew that Qiao Jincheng had the idea of starting Zhou Muyan, but to be honest, he didn't object, Zhou Guowei did not have Qiao Jincheng's smooth development in his career, the main reason was that there was no help from the family, and Qiao Jincheng's family could just make up for his own shortcomings, and Qiao Xuan was Qiao Jincheng's only daughter.

If Zhou Muyan and Qiao Xuan become successful, then the future of the son will be bright, so he coughed twice very reservedly and said, This child is usually busy with his studies.

"I've got a girlfriend, uncle." Before Zhou Guowei finished speaking, Zhou Muyan took the initiative to say. Qiao Jincheng looked at Zhou Muyan but saw that Zhou Muyan had a flat face, so he immediately laughed and said, Oh, you have a girlfriend?

"Okay, Lao Zhou, it's better to shepherd, don't worry about anything." Qiao Jincheng said with a smile over there.

Zhou Guowei's face was blue over there, and he said something to himself, what he talked about was a child's house, and he couldn't do a lot.

Qiao Jincheng chuckled when he heard this, and said that he couldn't do anything, the children were older, and they all had their own ideas.

"It's better to be a daughter, obedient and sensible." The two then blew each other, but obviously, because Zhou Muyan made his position, no matter how good the two chatted later, there was less intimacy.

In the car back, Zhou Guowei followed Zhou Muyan to sit in the back seat, Zhou Guowei and Zhou Muyan had a lot of awkward trouble, that is, if you fall in love, you will fall in love, what do you do when you say it at this time?

Zhou Muyan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "I have a girlfriend and I am not allowed to say it, so I won't be a scumbag like you?" Zhou Guowei was choked by Zhou Muyan, and felt that his son was too upright and didn't know how to be flexible, so he gave Zhou Muyan a lesson over there, saying, I didn't let Zhou Muyan lie, but it was obvious that it could be done in a more tactful way, as long as you don't speak at that time, and then I said that I was busy with my studies and didn't have the heart to take care of my personal feelings.

"Did I say you don't have a girlfriend?" Zhou Guowei asked over there. Zhou Muyan chuckled: "Then don't you mean the same thing?" Zhou Guowei and Zhou Muyan said that the meaning was very different: "You really told you that you can't kiss, we just haven't seen each other for a long time to find a topic, just now you said it, don't you think the atmosphere is a little wrong?" For such words, Zhou Muyan just smiled, saying that it was really unnecessary.

"I know Uncle Qiao's daughter, and she also knows that I have a girlfriend, so it's not good for you to pass on wrong information to others like this, and it is discovered by others." Zhou Muyan said.

Hearing Zhou Muyan say this, Zhou Guowei no longer had hope, sighed and said: "You said you, if you fall in love, you will fall in love, everyone who wants to make trouble knows it," Zhou Muyan just smiled and didn't speak, and after going back, Zhou Guowei called Qiao Jincheng again and asked if Qiao Jincheng had arrived home.

Qiao Jincheng said that he had gone home, and then the two exchanged two more pleasantries, and Zhou Guowei asked Qiao Jincheng when he had time, and the two families had a meal.

Zhou Guowei's words were very ingenious, saying that this meal was Mu Yan's plan to invite his Uncle Qiao's family to a light meal, and also said that his sister Qiaoqiao usually helped him a lot at school, and wanted to take this opportunity to thank him Sister Qiaoqiao.

Qiao Jincheng was amused when he heard this, and said, "How much help can she have as a little girl," said so, but what Zhou Guowei meant, Qiao Jincheng also understood, thinking about it carefully, when they met just now, Qiao Jincheng really felt that Zhou Muyan was a good child, not to mention his facial features and appearance, and not to mention his knowledge.

A freshman child actually talked to himself about land finance, which made Qiao Jincheng look up to Zhou Muyan with admiration, although it was said that the other party had a girlfriend, but people like Zhou Muyan would definitely enter the officialdom in the future, and it would never hurt to let his daughter have more contact with Zhou Muyan.

So Qiao Jincheng agreed. Hanging up the phone, Qiao Jincheng's wife asked curiously, "Whose phone is it?" ”

"Oh, Lao Zhou, he said that his son, he wants to find a time to invite us to dinner." Qiao Jincheng said with a smile.

"What did his son invite us to eat?" The wife felt foggy when she heard it. Qiao Jincheng just got home, took off his coat and handed it to his wife, chuckled and said, "Then I have to thank your baby girl." "Qiao Jincheng's family lives in the kind of Xiangyang Building in Jinling, square with the garden, Qiao Jincheng may not come back a few times a year, when he said this, his daughter Qiao Xuan just came out of the bedroom to greet him.

20-year-old Qiao Xuan, wearing a white chiffon shirt and dress, wearing a frameless myopia glasses, the whole person is slim, and when she came out, she heard her father say what her baby daughter was, and she was curious.

"What, what does this have to do with Xuanxuan?" Qiao Jincheng's wife asked curiously. Qiao Jincheng said with a smile: "Lao Zhou's son and Xuanxuan are alumni, and they know Xuanxuan, so don't you thank your daughter?" Qiao Xuan understood and asked curiously who it was.

Qiao Jincheng said Zhou Muyan's name. Qiao Xuan quickly remembered Zhou Muyan, and was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Zhou Muyan to be the son of her father's colleague.

And Qiao Jincheng's wife is very dissatisfied with her husband casually talking about her daughter outside, at first glance, she will feel that Qiao Jincheng is talking nonsense over there, a college student, where is the money to invite us to dinner?

"Other people's daughters are all treasures, how can you come here, I can't wait to send my daughter outside." The wife muttered in a broken mind.

Qiao Jincheng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, what does this have to do with me.

"He might be rich." Qiao Xuan muttered to herself over there. Qiao Jincheng and his wife were arguing, and they were a little surprised to hear their daughter say this, but Qiao Xuan didn't think there was anything, because Zhou Muyan did do a lot of things this semester that caused some sensations in the school, such as writing and selling copyrights, and then opening an Internet café or something.

How much money you make is secondary. Qiao Xuan said that Zhou Muyan is very smart, this Internet café is different from other Internet cafes, he is mainly for students, and he also has a special non-smoking area for girls.

So many girls like to go to him to surf the Internet, and this semester, Zhou Muyan's Internet café has become the main sponsor of the school party.

Qiao Xuan didn't have any emotion when she said these words, just a calm narrative, just after comprehensive consideration, Qiao Xuan felt that Zhou Muyan was quite powerful.

But what she didn't understand was that since Zhou Muyan was a child of Uncle Zhou's family, it stands to reason that he shouldn't do these fanciful things, Zhou Muyan's image is different from most of the second generations of the same class that Qiao Xuan knows, Zhou Muyan seems to be even more out of tune, without the stereotype of other second generations.

Qiao Xuan told her father about her doubts, it was very strange, if Zhou Muyan was Uncle Zhou's son, it stands to reason that he should be more stable, and he should not do these things.

It was the first time for Qiao Jincheng to see that his daughter was curious about a boy, so he coughed and said:

"This kid's life is hard", after Qiao Jincheng told Zhou Muyan's situation. Qiao Jincheng only knows a rough idea, but his wife Fu Pei made up a big emotional drama in her own brain, expressed deep sympathy for Zhou Muyan, and also hated Zhou Guowei, people say that men become bad when they are rich, this is really not wrong at all, this Zhou Guowei looked like a decent man and a gentleman before, but he didn't expect to be able to do this kind of thing of abandoning his wife and children.

"You can also play with such people, which is enough to show that you are not a good thing." Fu Pei slapped Qiao Jincheng beside him and said.

Qiao Jincheng rubbed his shoulders and smiled bitterly, saying, this is good, why did it talk about me.

"Pity a good boy like Yan Yan, how old is he to learn to do business, Xuanxuan, you are in school, but you must take good care of your younger brother." Fu Pei said.

Qiao Xuan also knew for the first time that there were so many stories behind Zhou Muyan, thinking of a few brief contacts with Zhou Muyan, no wonder he was so mature in his freshman year.

Qiao Xuan agreed, listened to her parents talk for a while, and then found that there was no nutritious topic, so she turned around and went back to the house.

Fu Pei was talking over there, while slapping Qiao Jincheng on the shoulder, and Qiao Jincheng said very aggrievedly, people are hopeless for promotion, and they are retreating, I am in the prime of life, how can I make such a mess.

"Oh, so you mean, you have the heart of a thief or not?"

"Hi, you talk to talk, what kind of ears do you twist." The two fought like this for a while, and when Qiao Xuan entered the house, Qiao Jincheng asked, then do you still want to eat this meal?

Fu Pei thought about it and said, since people have a heart, then agree.

"I'm not looking at his face, I'm looking at the child's face." Fu Pei said. Qiao Jincheng grinned, looked at Qiao Xuan's closed bedroom door and whispered, "Hey, have you noticed that our daughter seems to be particularly interested in Lao Zhou's son." Fu Pei naturally felt it, and there were many people who had talked about some excellent boys in front of Qiao Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally, but Qiao Xuan was not interested in it, only when she was talking about Zhou Muyan just now, Qiao Xuan seemed to be a little interested.

Fu Pei's brain made up for what Zhou Muyan and his daughter had become, and then shook his head again, thinking that Zhou Muyan's father was such a scumbag, in case Zhou Muyan inherited his father's bad genes, wouldn't it ruin his daughter, forget it.

"Do you have a picture of the child, show me." Fu Pei thought for a moment and said. Qiao Jincheng was a little speechless, and said I just saw this side of the photo.

In this way, without Zhou Muyan's knowledge, Zhou Guowei made an appointment for his son to have a table of meals, and when Qiao Jincheng sent back the information of consent.

Zhou Guowei began to call his son and asked Zhou Muyan to take time out recently to have a family banquet in the manor.

"Didn't you say that the daughter of the Qiao family took good care of you at school, I helped you ask her out, why don't you invite someone to have a meal, say thank you."

"Huh? No, Lao Zhou, what are you kidding, can't you hear that it's polite words? Zhou Muyan was speechless, thinking to himself that whoever said this at the dinner.

"Then I don't care, I've already asked people out." Zhou Guowei said very scoundrelly. Zhou Muyan chuckled when he heard this: "Then you go and eat with others, I have already left Jinling now." ”

"What are you doing out of Jinling?" Zhou Guowei frowned and asked strangely.

"Go home for the New Year." Zhou Muyan is of course. Zhou Guowei originally wanted to say, what are you going back to, but then I thought that I should go back to my hometown, and when I heard the news, Zhou Guowei was very angry, and he asked Zhou Muyan in a low voice, why didn't you say a word to yourself when you went home.

Zhou Muyan said: "No, shouldn't I go home to accompany my mother for the New Year?" You don't want me to accompany you in Jinling and leave my mother at home alone, do you? ”

"I," Zhou Guowei couldn't help but pause, he must have this idea, and he didn't think about his ex-wife at all.

When Zhou Muyan saw Zhou Guowei say this, he knew what the reason was, and immediately said on the phone, what you think is quite beautiful, don't say it when you hold Xiaosan happy, and you want to occupy your son, you don't want to think about it, your original partner is guarding the cold kiln alone.

Later, Zhou Muyan directly hummed the song "Wujia Po" of the negative man. Ah, ah, ah, my wife, Wang's Baochuan pity you in the cold kiln, pity you, you are lonely, and wait for me Xue Nan Pinggui for 18 years Zhou Guowei was upset by Zhou Muyan, and quickly interrupted Zhou Muyan and said, OK, okay, what to sing.

"When are you coming back?" After being silent for a while, Zhou Guowei asked. Zhou Muyan can't say clearly, this must be accompanied by a winter vacation.

Zhou Guowei said that the meal must be eaten, because he has already made an appointment, if you don't come back, your old son and my face will not look good.

Zhou Muyan said that it depends on the situation.

"I'm going to get off the highway, so let's not talk." After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Guowei to answer, Zhou Muyan hung up the phone.

Zhou Muyan drove an Audi Q5 alone, passed through a long tunnel, and finally returned to the place where he was born and raised for 18 years.

Zhou Muyan set off at nine o'clock, about two and a half hours has returned to his door, when he left with his father to buy a house for his mother in a small county town, now almost five months have passed, the house has not been renovated, Zhou's mother still lives in the former shantytown.

In 09, there were actually a lot of cars in small counties, but there were not many BBAs, especially Audi Q5 that was not a low-end car.

In fact, at this time, living in the shantytown may not be without money in hand, but it is used to living in this old urban area, and it is too lazy to move, until the shantytown is demolished, and everyone really has no place to go, so they will carefully choose the next place to live.

In a moderately wide alley, a row of cars are parked by the wall, the Audi Q5 body is relatively large, and it is more difficult to drive in, but fortunately, Zhou Muyan's driving skills are good, and he drove in there against the wall.

The sound of the car's engine was particularly crisp in the alley, and the women chatting at the entrance of the alley watched the four-ring SUV drive in, thinking to themselves which man had made a fortune outside and returned home.

saw the car leaning in front of the two-story building of Zhou Muyan's house, and Zhou Muyan got out of the car. Then a stretched mom~ pierced through the long alley.
