When Xiao Ye appeared in Chu Rong after more than a year, it was the end of another year, and at this time, even an old man like Uncle Ye, a native of Dongguan, knew what day Christmas was.

The leaves of Dongguan have not yet been stripped of their coats by the cold winter, but the new shoots are ready to sprout. The poplar trees have lost most of their leaves, and the heat wave in the air has long been gone, unlike the bitterness of the hometown, where the winter wind becomes gentle, gently blowing away the traces of the old days and welcoming the freshness of the coming year. On the newly repaired jet-black asphalt road, Chu Li and the new worker and driver, Song Xiaozhou, loaded a batch of fixtures. A Fit braked, slowed down, and slid slowly not far away, and then drove onto the cement parking lot that Chu Rong had just renovated and was well connected to the road.

Xiao Ye was wearing white sneakers, dark blue jeans, and a white long-sleeved T-shirt, and her hair was permed, but she was still plain. After seeing Chu Li, he smiled, and went around to the back of the car to lift the trunk lid, Chu Li hurriedly stepped forward to help bring out a bag of fruit and a bag of barbecued pork.

"Why hasn't Xiao Ye been here for so long? Ouch, still fat. “

After Xiao Ye heard the fat word, he pursed his lips and smiled, and then turned his face sideways and glared at Chu Li angrily.

"As for classes, I've been very busy lately. Brother Chu, grandma said you haven't been there for a long time. “

"Yes, it's been a few days."

"So she made something for me to deliver."

"You're going back to school now?"

"Well, but we have a lot less classes now."

"Let's go in and have a look."

Xiao Ye entered the workshop and saw that there were many people busy, there was an aisle in the middle of the warehouse, and the machine had been separated on both sides by huge transparent glass, Chu Li said that it was for operational safety and sound insulation. After visiting the two new warehouses, the two came to Chu Li's "office".

"I didn't expect you to live in this place for two years. Now that the scale is so big, don't you improve it? Are you too picky? Lonely Chill! “

"It's not stingy, I live anywhere by myself, and I'm down-to-earth here. But it's been getting a little noisy lately. “

"Yes, the roads are all open. What about eating? How to fix it? “

"The boxed lunch ordered every day in the stall."

"Then let them make the barbecued pork today, right? But I don't think they can do it well, so I'll talk to them later. “

"Good! I've wanted to eat barbecued pork for a long time. Chu Li made a movement of wiping his saliva.

"Didn't the girl next door come?"

Chu Li thought about it before she realized that she was referring to Wu Siying. "My Chief Designer? It's in school. I guess I'll be here in a few days. ”

"Isn't it your girlfriend?" Xiao Ye asked tentatively.

"Ten years younger than me? Be my girlfriend? “

Xiao Ye looked at Chu Li inexplicably for a while before he got up and said, "I'm going to get barbecued pork in the stall, right?" You're busy with yours first. ”

Chu Li stretched out his hand and stopped, "You study finance." Can you help me with the accounting? “

"I don't have much experience."

"It's okay, you're so careful. Let's learn together so I don't have to ask someone else to do the accounting. “

"That's wrong, you can't scold me!"

"That won't do! If you want to scold and beat! Chu Li straightened his face.

Both of them burst into laughter.

"How is Sun Lei?"

"He's fine, he's a lot fatter." Xiao Ye's smile suddenly put away. After a second, he calmly said, "I broke up with him." “

Several people gathered around the table in the "conference room" to eat a box lunch with barbecued pork, and Chu Li did not allow everyone to eat on the workbench. Some simply returned to the stall to eat. Today, he was called back by Chu Li. More than a dozen people were crammed into the small conference room, which was particularly crowded. Most of them had to stand and eat with a boxed lunch.

"This meat is a little sweet, but it's very fragrant!" Li Shunchi said to Qian Yingqing. The two of them have been here for almost half a year and belong to skilled workers, and Chu Li arranged a few newcomers for them.

"Well, it reminds me of bacon from our hometown. Smellier than that! Smoke drops! ”

"You don't want it? Give it to me! Li Shunchi stretched out his chopsticks.

"Which one is going to give you?" Qian Yingqing held the lunch box and dodged.

Wu Ran walked in with a boxed lunch, saw Xiao Ye, and quickly nodded to say hello.

Xiao Ye was holding a large plate of barbecued pork, and when he bumped into him, he saw his gray eyeballs and almost shook off the barbecued pork.

"This is Lao Wu. My friend of more than ten years. ”

"Hello, Miss Ye. I've heard Xiao Chu mention you. Today's one, it's really better to meet than to meet......"

"Why are you so poor?" Chu Li said to Wu Ran with a smile.

"I'm afraid of scaring Miss Ye......"

Xiao Ye saw that Lao Wu was friendly and kind, and immediately said to Lao Wu: "One more piece!" ”

Lao Wu hesitated, Xiao Ye took a piece of chopsticks and put it in Lao Wu's bowl. And he put the plate of char siu on the table.

Chu Li took a look, except for part-time workers like Chunlai and Xiang Yanghua, and Wu Siying, everyone in his organization arrived, and even Song Xiaozhou, who went out to deliver goods, smelled the smell of meat and rushed back.

"Let me introduce to you, this is our new member, Ye Han. From now on, she will be in charge of her finances. ”

"Then Miss Ye will also eat and live with us in the future?" Qian Yingqing's Sichuan dialect amused everyone, and Li Shunchi knocked him on the head with chopsticks and scolded him for looking straight in the eyes.

"She is part-time like Peng Chunlai, Yang Hua and Wu Siying. So you don't have to stay here all year round. Finance, telecommuting is fine. ”

"I haven't promised you yet, why did you introduce me to everyone as your finances?" After Xiao Ye saw everyone disperse, he asked Chu Li in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's too late for you to refuse now."

"You've got your word out......"

"It can be taken back."

"Don't you want to invite me?"

"Please!"

"I'm going to do it."

Xiao Ye also brought Chu Li another piece of information, Grandma Ye's house on Houjie had been redeemed, and Ye's roast shop finally deserved its name. She will take over after graduation in the future, and she is currently doing the accounts herself, and Grandma Ye is only responsible for entertaining guests. Chu Li recorded all Chu Rong's invoices and flowing water to Xiao Ye, and explained to her the comings and goings of each transaction one by one. Xiao Ye asked if there was a computer, Chu Li wanted to open the computer in the conference room to her to use, thinking that it was not safe, so he had to let her watch it first, and let Song Xiaozhou go on a trip and buy a notebook back. Xiao Ye entered all the accounts, and after they were established, it was already getting dark.

"Brother Chu, you are such a generous person." The white light of the laptop shone on Xiaoye's face, and her eyes sparkled.

Chu Li was sorting out the information and turned his head to look at her. "Generosity?"

"This commission is paid as a whole number, either 20,000 or 50,000. Is it a bonus or what? ”

"It's a division between the salesman and the designer."

"Is this Wu Siying just your designer?"

"Xiao Ye, you can ask whatever you want?"

"It's nothing, just find out. You say designers are designers. “

Chu Li smiled and didn't give any explanation. Softly, "I'm just getting started right now, and I shouldn't be too concerned about money." Only by retaining talents and stabilizing the foundation can we develop for a long time. ”

In fact, for many years to come, Xiao Ye still saw a generous Chu Li on the books, maybe he was born to take money very seriously.

"There is no payee for this one."

"This is Xiang Yanghua, our salesman, but he hasn't signed a contract yet."

"It's called an unknown account, and I can only count it on your head. You must not do this in the future, because it is tantamount to breaking the law. ”

"Yes, my boss reminded me too. It's just that this guy doesn't want to take money and doesn't want to sign a contract. ”

"I know all your assets now." Xiao Ye closed the computer, and the two little hands snapped. "In more than a year, you have expanded so much, but you don't have much money in your account. You're still a poor bastard, stop squandering your money. “

"You bring the computer."

"No, it won't. In the future, when I am not there, you will have to enter every stroke here. He found a folder from Chu Li's bookshelf again, "The invoice is placed here." ”

"This ...... What should I do if I make a mistake? ”

"Forget it, you just have to write it down on paper, and I'll come once a month."

"The salary is 60,000 a year first, right?"

"What salary?"

"Your salary."

"Comrade factory director, you don't have to rush to prove that you are not a lonely ghost. I know you're not. But I don't want to take your salary. “

"That's not good, you're my treasurer, of course you have to pay your salary."

"You can say as much as you want." Xiao Ye stood up and tidied up his clothes. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his expression became unnatural, and he looked Chu Li up and down, "How are you doing lately?" ”

"That's good."

"I haven't been here for a year, and I feel like you've lost a lot of weight."

"Impossible."

"Have you ever had any illness?"

"No......"

"Haven't been sick in a year?"

"I didn't ...... Sick, oh, I was sick early last year. It's been a long time. ”

"What's the disease? How did I not know? Sun Lei didn't mention it either. "The leaflets are like a cannon.

"It was appendicitis, and I was in Shanghai at the time. Had a minor surgery and it wasn't a big deal. Chu Li touched his belly, "Have I lost weight?" “

"You had an appendectomy in Shanghai, right?"

"yes. What's wrong? That's almost two years. ”

"It's nothing, if there is any discomfort in the future, I have to say it." Xiao Ye's eyes dodged, and his hand touched his hair unnaturally, "I'm going back." ”

"I haven't eaten yet."

"I'm going to eat at my grandmother's shop and I'm going back to school."

"I'll go with you. I still have something to ask you. ”

Xiao Ye is already very proficient in driving, but the condition of this Fit is already very bad. You can hear from the sound that there are problems with the clutch and gearbox, and the engine has some knocking reaction. remembered that the first time I took Xiaoye's car was from the United States, and I just learned the bad news of Chen Jing, and the car could still drive steadily on the highway at that time.

"What's wrong with you and Sun Lei?" Chu Li spit out the words that he had been holding back all afternoon.
