Chapter 242: New Year's Greetings

The income during the Chinese New Year can account for more than 20% of the annual income of most hotels and restaurants, therefore, many hotels and restaurants adopt a system of rotating holidays during the Chinese New Year, and Sancai is no exception. Since December, there have been many people who have come to book the location www.biquge.info of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and there are so many people who love it, and Sancai naturally can't close the door, so Cao Ping also personally went to the store to cheer everyone up, promising to pay three times the salary for those who choose to go to work during the Chinese New Year, and there will be big red envelopes, so most of the employees are quite willing to work overtime. Of course, there are also homesick people who choose to go home, and Cao Ping will also reimburse the round-trip air ticket, as well as the New Year's goods subsidy.

There are two days left for the New Year, Sister Dao and Niu Dazhuang also went back, and only Cao Ping and Yingbao were left at home, so they changed their ways every day to make delicious food, and lived a life of pigs with satisfaction.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Ping sat on the sofa wrapping dumplings, while Yingbao sat on the side and grabbed red envelopes. The popularity of WeChat red envelopes has surpassed that of the Spring Festival Gala these days, and all of them are posting red envelopes when they open the circle of friends these days. Starting from the 12th, WeChat Red Envelopes has launched the Spring Festival "Shake Red Envelopes" activity, distributing cash red envelopes every day, and it is said that more than 500 million cash red envelopes will be sent, with a single maximum red envelope of 4999 yuan, and more than 3 billion card coupon red envelopes. Since the day before yesterday, Yingbao shook a red envelope of 66.66 yuan, it has been out of control, and these days every day on time and on point with the mobile phone to shake desperately. Cao Ping couldn't help but joke with her: "You said that you are worth tens of millions, and you still grab this piece of change, is it interesting?"

Ying Bao glanced at him and said, "Who cares about this money? I want to experience the feeling of winning the lottery, the last time I won the lottery was in the third grade of primary school, I drew a toothbrush box with five cents at the store at the door. Cao Ping shook his head and continued to wrap dumplings, while Yingbao posed to take a group photo of the two, and then fiddled with his mobile phone, I don't know who to send it to.

Glancing back at her, Cao Ping said, "What do your parents like?

Ying Bao tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "It seems that there is nothing particularly liked, just buy some nutritional products, if you want to say that you like it, that is the favorite of me!

Cao Ping scratched her nose and said, "You didn't go back to Hengdian for the New Year last year, and you stayed with me in Beijing this year, so your uncle and aunt won't have an opinion, right?"

"It's okay! I've got it all done. Ying Bao came over and said: "I am reluctant to leave you alone in Beijing for the New Year, you are now only one of my relatives, who will accompany you if I don't accompany you?"

Cao Ping's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but peck on her little mouth, and said with a smile: "Really sensible!"

"That's!" Ying Bao triumphantly turned around, leaning back on the couch and shaking her phone.

Cao Ping picked up a neatly stacked dumpling and walked towards the kitchen, asking as he walked, "Are you hungry?"

"Didn't you just eat it?"

"If there are a few less, you must eat dumplings for the New Year!"

"Okay, I'm going to eat stuffed pork with shiitake mushrooms. ”

"Is five enough?"

"Six!"

......

The two were talking, and the Spring Festival Gala began with the sound of lively music.

I don't know when watching the Spring Festival Gala in Chinese New Year's Eve has become a custom for the whole people, even if it is getting more and more ugly every year, everyone is used to sitting in front of the TV and eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lively, but this year it has become sitting in front of the TV to grab red envelopes.

After the Spring Festival Gala began, the WeChat red envelope activity also began, Yingbao held his mobile phone in his left hand, and Cao Ping's in his right hand, shaking one left and one right very energetically, and he didn't care about watching TV at all.

Cao Ping's rolled dumplings are relatively thin and ripe quickly, and when he came out with the cooked dumplings and the mixed ginger vinaigrette, the show had just played Jia Ling's "Joy Street".

"How much did you rob?" Cao Ping asked as he put the dumplings on the coffee table and handed the chopsticks to Yingbao.

Ying Bao took the chopsticks, inserted a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "My number grabbed more than 20 yuan, and yours is only a dozen yuan......"

"Let's eat it first, I'll ......grab it later," Cao Ping also took a dumpling and ate it.

Ying Bao couldn't eat three meals, counting this meal today, the two of them ate six meals a day, but Cao Ping cooked less, that is, for the sake of meaning, he ate the rest.

"Hey, by the way, didn't Xiao Yueyue also go to the Spring Festival Gala this year?" asked Ying Bao.

Cao Ping nodded and said, "Well, I looked at the program schedule and it seems to be quite high!"

Soon, after a brainwashing song "The Most Dazzling Little Apple", Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue came to the stage to talk about cross talk, and the cross talk was called "I Can't Bear It". It can be seen that Xiao Yueyue's basic skills are quite solid, the rhythm of the burden, the logical accent of the lines are handled very well, Sun Yue's praise is also very powerful, and the burden can be received. The scene effect was not bad, the applause and laughter continued, the performance was quite successful, Cao Ping took his mobile phone and sent a congratulatory text message to Xiao Yueyue, but he estimated that he would not have time to watch it for the time being.

The next shows are still above the level, but there are no amazing programs, the only thing that surprises Cao Ping is "When You Are Old" sung by Karen Mok. He heard a sample of this song in Zhao Lei, saying that it was written by his master Zhao Zhao, Cao Ping was more impressed by the lines at that time, but he didn't expect it to be covered by Mok Wenwei, and it was also moved to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Soon it was past eleven o'clock, and Cao Ping and Yingbao's mobile phones were also occupied by an endless stream of New Year's calls and text messages. And this is not the craziest, the craziest thing is that Cao Ping was pulled into more than a dozen groups in just one hour, and each group was grabbing red envelopes, even if it was a few dollars and a few cents, he was very happy, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Wang Zhonglei also pulled him into Huayi's group, which was full of Huayi's artists, joining in the fun and enhancing his feelings. Many of them were acquaintances, and as soon as Cao Ping entered, many friends greeted him and asked him to send red envelopes.

Cao Ping opened the group members and looked at them, several known avatars, Feng Xiaogang was also there, as well as Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Liao Fan, and the younger Du Chun, Jia Nailiang, Li Xiaolu, and Jing Boran were also there, among them, Jia Nailiang and Jing Boran were the most noisy, and all kinds of emojis flew around.

first sent ten red envelopes to the town building, and while they grabbed the red envelopes, Cao Ping sent a message of New Year's greetings, otherwise Jia Nailiang and Jing Boran's battle would have wiped out the information.

The battle situation on Yingbao's side is also very fierce, and there is a rule that whoever has the best luck will continue to send it, but Yingbao only sent it twice from the beginning to the end, not only did she have no loss, but also a surplus, which made her enthusiastic and had the posture of grabbing an all-nighter.

This red envelope war lasted until two o'clock in the middle of the night, Ying Bao was really sleepy and went to bed, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are many friends who need to go to the New Year, so they have to get up early.

Many of Cao Ping's friends in the circle are in Beijing, and they have to go through a series of friends such as Huang Lei, Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi, He Jiong, Yu Qian, etc.

The first stop was of course Huang Lei's house, Yingbao was also very familiar with them, so he knocked on the door with gifts. Huang Lei has taught so many acting classes, most of the students are in the circle, and the two of them went up just in time for Mr. Huang's students to come to pay New Year's greetings. Haiqing was also there, this was the first time Cao Ping had seen her, but she was very curious about Cao Ping, so she pulled him to ask Dongwen about the play, and chatted for a long time.

Ying Bao casually talked about the situation of going to school, Huang Lei just talked about a new drama planned to do next year, which is an urban family emotional drama, reflecting the problem of children's education, Haiqing plays the heroine, Huang Lei asked about Ying Bao's schedule, and wanted her to play a cameo role, Ying Bao naturally agreed.

There are several families to leave, sit for a while, the two of them said goodbye, and before going out, Huang Leifei took them two boxes of red wine as a return gift and took them away, Cao Ping had to take it and put it in the car to take it.

The next stop is Wang Zhonglei's house, and when I was in the past, I also met Li Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming who paid New Year's greetings in the past. I wanted to talk a few words and leave, but Sister Xiaorong was very enthusiastic to keep them for dinner, and it happened to be time, so the two had lunch by the way. Li Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming are both shareholders of starVC, and they naturally talk about investment-related matters at the dinner table. It just so happened that Cao Ping had recently made some money in the stock market, so I chatted with them about the recent bull market.

Huang Xiaoming was not very familiar with Cao Ping, and asked him in surprise: "Aren't you worried about giving so much money to someone who doesn't know the bottom line?"

Cao Ping smiled and said indifferently: "I'll give him ten guts!"

Some things are so clear that it's not interesting, during the meal, he had secretly informed Xiao Zuo's relatives of his identity, and those who can be university professors are not idiots, he is also a young person, so he naturally knows what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken. Moreover, there is a time limit for stock trading, and such a large amount of money is not something he can just mention. The money in the stock market is easy to get in, but it is more difficult to come out, someone needs to take over the market, these money are the stocks of various companies in the stock market, not cash, he wants to realize the stocks until someone buys the stocks, and even if he sells all the stocks in one trading day, such a large amount of bank transfer application also needs to go to the bank with the card, these times are enough for him to die eight times.

Wang Zhonglei knows a little bit about Cao Ping's background, and he will pass it with a haha.

Coming out of Wang Zhonglei's house, Cao Ping and the two rushed to Feng Xiaogang's house non-stop, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei's house lived very close, and it didn't take long for the car to arrive.

is different from Huang Lei's house, in Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang's house, Yingbao seems very restrained. She debuted that year because she won the championship of Feng Xiaogang's group in the Yahoo Star Search Competition, so after arriving at Feng Xiaogang's house, she greeted Director Feng very politely and greeted the New Year, and she seemed very well-behaved.

Feng Xiaogang doesn't wear makeup at home, so the vitiligo skin on his face looks a little obvious, but after being in the crew for so long, Cao Ping is used to it, and he doesn't care if it's not contagious anyway.

Coming out of Director Feng's house, the two ran away from Xu Qing and Zhang Ziyi's two houses in a row, and it was dark when they came out of Sister Zhang's house. Because He Jiong made an appointment to eat hot pot outside in the evening, the two didn't eat at Sister Zhang's house, and hurried to the hot pot restaurant after they came out. Xie Na and Zhang Jie were also there, as well as Wu Xin and a few of He Jiong's friends who were on Central TV back then. After eating, Xie Na booked another venue and went to sing, and played until midnight before coming out, Yu Qian's house couldn't go, so she could only wait to come back after going to Hebei.

Early the next morning, after loading a trunk of things, Cao Ping drove Yingbao to Langfang.
