Reborn since 2005

Chapter 290 That tree is my whole world

Yan Xin and Chen Li chatted for more than half an hour, but nothing came out of the conversation.

Sometimes the purpose of chatting is not to solve any problem, but simply to vent the frustration in your heart.

He kept chattering for more than half an hour, saying that Liang Wei was useless. Finally, he told Yan Xin that Liang Wei had come to see him and said that he was going to visit an ancient town. He had no time to chat and would talk to him later.

.

This way of ending the chat made Yan Xin stunned for a while.

He didn't know if Liang Wei's mentality changed after she became clear about writing novels, because he had never seen it.

But he can be sure that Chen Li's mentality has changed a lot.

I originally wanted to persuade him to calm down, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

If your own emotional life is not so smooth and you still have many entanglements, don’t be a mentor to others.

I’m not sure who lives more clearly than the other.

I also chatted with Ellie and shared with Ellie her living conditions after returning home. Ellie once again expressed her regret that she could not go to his hometown.

Yan Xin originally wanted to invite her to come over in May. At that time, the loquats, peaches, and plums at home would be ripe, and she could eat them for half a month.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the college entrance examination had not even started at that time. If Feng Xi knew that he had brought a young and beautiful girl to his home, he would probably understand what was going on. It might affect her college entrance examination and delay it.

Got her.

Thinking of this, I did not send out such an invitation, but just expressed to her that she would have the opportunity to come over in the future.

I also chatted with Feng Xi for a while this afternoon, mainly about work matters. Today is the last day of work for their online store before the Lunar New Year, and they need to finish counting everything that needs to be counted.

Feng Xi also sent some data to Yan Xin.

In addition, they also discussed how big a red envelope should be given to each employee and how much year-end bonus should be given.

I also told you where and when the party will start tomorrow.

The place to go has been decided in advance. The dinner time is not in the evening but at noon. This is also the opinion of the employees. They all hope to go home earlier. If they have dinner in the evening, for those who do not live in the county,

, there is no way to go home after eating.

In the end, the only option was noon.

Yan Xin also didn't want to choose the time at night. He also felt that it would be unsafe to drive home at that time.

The roads in the countryside were full of potholes, and he was careful every time he drove there, for fear of accidentally overturning his car.

This is true even during the day, let alone at night.

Living in rural areas has so many inconveniences, especially in the era when the roads were not repaired, it was even more inconvenient.

Eating at noon is best for him.

Just like this, while checking the website and chatting on QQ, an afternoon passed.

At around four o'clock, Yan Xin went downstairs to cook with his father again. By the way, he also said that he had something to do in the county town tomorrow and would not eat at home at noon.

He didn't say what he was going to do in the county town, so his dad understood that he was going to meet Xiao Shiyu, whom he had met yesterday.

This is understandable.

After all, in his mind, these two people are talking about each other.

It’s finally time for the New Year’s holiday and we’re all back home. Now that we have the chance to meet, I naturally want to see them more often.

I didn't say anything, I just told him to be careful when driving.

On the second day, Yan Xin felt that the temperature was a bit low after getting up. When he went out, he saw that it was a cloudy day and it looked like it was going to rain.

However, the rainy season is almost here, and the weather is much warmer than last year's New Year. Although it feels a little cold, it won't snow.

If it snows, Yan Xin will have to think carefully about whether to go there and have that meal.

The road was slippery on a snowy day, and he wasn't sure what would happen.

I finished my breakfast in a leisurely manner, and at about ten o'clock, I changed into clothes and started driving.

When he left, he told his father that there was no need to prepare dinner for dinner and that he would bring some food over in the evening.

When we set off, it was already raining in the sky, but the raindrops were not heavy.

He drove carefully all the way and went directly to the restaurant Feng Xi mentioned. He parked the car outside and entered the lobby, where he saw Feng Xi waiting there.

Next to him was Manager Chen from the Nishang Yuyi online store. Manager Chen was holding a bag in his hand.

Feng Xi saw Yan Xin coming, said hello, and took him to the third floor.

As he walked, he said to him: "Put the red envelopes and year-end bonuses in this bag. I will give out the red envelopes and you will give out the year-end bonuses later."

Yan Xin nodded and said yes.

The online store does not pay wages through bank transfers, but directly in cash. The same goes for red envelopes and year-end bonuses.

Feng Xi thought about registering a company in the future and having her salary paid directly through the bank, but she doesn't have the time to do such a thing now. She will have to wait until she finishes the college entrance examination before she has the energy to do it.

There are more than a dozen employees, red envelopes and year-end bonuses totaling more than 100,000 yuan. They are all placed in the bag carried by Director Chen. It is the money she just took out yesterday and has now been sorted out.

Red envelopes are red envelopes, and year-end bonuses are year-end bonuses.

The size of the red envelope is the same, but the year-end bonus is different. Based on the time of joining, position and past performance, the difference between the highest and lowest is one thousand or two thousand.

Which part of the money belongs to which employee is clearly marked.

While going upstairs, Feng Xi and Yan Xin exchanged these words, and then the elevator reached the third floor.

They booked a private room on the third floor, and the employees were waiting in the private room. When they passed by, the employees were eating snacks and chatting.

Seeing the two bosses coming over, the employees stood up and said hello.

Then, Yan Xin and Feng Xi handed out red envelopes to one and year-end bonuses to the other.

Every time you give an employee a thank you for your hard work, thank them for their hard work, and wish them a happy new year and smooth sailing in their career next year.

Distributing money is what makes employees happiest.

The atmosphere immediately became lively, and everyone enthusiastically congratulated the boss and his wife on their fortune.

Hearing such blessings, Feng Xi smiled happily.

Although Yan Xin felt a little awkward, in such an atmosphere, it was difficult to correct anything and could only accept it.

After paying out the money, the waiter was called to serve the food.

Today's dinner means New Year's Eve dinner, which is equivalent to the New Year's Eve dinner in the online store, so it is much more sumptuous than the last time.

Before the food was even served, the wine was already served.

Bringing your own drinks is not allowed here, and they don't lack the money to bring their own drinks.

The drinks ordered here include beer, red wine, and white wine.

There are also drinks.

When the wine was served, Yan Xin said: "I drove here today, and I have to drive back later, so I can't drink, I can only drink some drinks. Don't be offended."

Feng Xi also explained: "Our home is in the countryside. There are dozens of miles of roads here. There is a section of the road that is still a dirt road, which is very difficult to walk. It is very dangerous to drive after drinking."

Both bosses said this, so no one asked Yan Xin to drink.

When someone wants to clink glasses, Yan Xin just offers orange juice instead.

Feng Xi was sitting next to Yan Xin.

She usually manages several online stores, but today she didn't say much and gave all the opportunities to speak to Yan Xin.

This is obviously to enhance Yan Xin's presence in front of these employees and let them know that this is the big boss.

In fact, the shares of both people are the same, but when Feng Xi introduces Yan Xin to employees, she will always say that Yan Xin is the investor and she is just a part-time worker.

Yan Xin didn't know about such a thing, but he also knew that Feng Xi's behavior today was to leave the opportunity for him to perform, so he was quite grateful.

Although he was completely at ease with Feng Xi and did not need this sense of presence, this was also Feng Xi's good intention.

For this kindness, he had to be grateful.

The dishes ordered this time were more generous, and the tastes of all employees were taken into consideration. Every employee participated in the ordering. It was not the kind of dishes that were just presented to look good, so as not to cost money and leave everyone unfull.

Everyone had a great time eating.

Yan Xin also thought these dishes tasted good, and said to Feng Xi in a low voice: "I can't finish all the dishes after ordering so many. I'll ask everyone to pack some and take them back. You can also bring some."

Feng Xi looked at him, nodded with a smile, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you thinking of packing some back for your dad to eat?"

Yan Xin replied: "It does mean that. As you know, the older generation of them are more frugal and have never eaten anything delicious. I would definitely not be happy to invite him to have a meal outside.

If you can't eat it, pack it up and take some home. That's saving money, so that you can eat well."

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Then bring more back."

Then he asked: "You know your dad's taste better. Which of these dishes do you think he likes to eat more? I will order two portions and pack them back for him later."

"I don't know either," Yan Xin smiled bitterly, "He must have never eaten any of the dishes above."

Feng Xi was silent for a while and said: "Then take a little of everything back and order two more expensive ones. Anyway, you drove here, so there is room for a few more lunch boxes."

"Then do you want to order two more to take home?" Yan Xin asked.

Feng Xi shook his head: "I'll forget it, I won't take it back, otherwise it will be hard to explain to my family."

"Let's just say we have dinner with our classmates, the last meal of the year." Yan Xin said.

Feng Xi still shook his head: "Forget it, if they think I had a good dinner with my classmates, I won't be able to live a peaceful life this year."

Then he smiled and glanced at Yan Xin: "Why do you care about whether they have delicious food? They are not your people."

Yan Xin was thinking the same thing - why should I care about this? Wasn't it enough that I was tortured by them in my previous life?

After thinking about it like this, I didn't say anything else.

When the two of them spoke, their voices were very low, and others could not hear what they were saying.

The atmosphere at the table was relatively lively, and the employees had already begun to fight with each other over drinks, chatting loudly, and not paying attention to what the two bosses were talking about.

Just looking at the way they tilted their heads and whispered, I thought they were just a young couple and had no other ideas.

Some of the employees drank white drinks, some drank red drinks, and the atmosphere became more and more exciting.

Feng Xi only drank some beer, not too much.

There was a glass of beer poured into the glass. When someone came to propose a toast, she took a sip.

However, there were quite a few people toasting, and every employee came over to toast with her, more than once.

I drank it one sip after another, and in the end I drank more than one bottle of beer, and my face turned a little red.

But I wasn't drunk.

In such a situation, Yan Xin could only lament that everyone he met had a good drinking capacity, but he couldn't.

There were also people who toasted with him, but he just used orange juice instead, drank a lot of orange juice, and even went to the toilet once.

When he was about to finish eating, Feng Xi called the waiter again, ordered two more dishes, and explained that they were to be taken away, and asked the waiter to prepare more lunch boxes. Those who could not finish the meal would also be taken away, including

The same goes for drinks.

They originally ordered a lot of food, so everyone started eating and only half of it was eaten. There was quite a lot left, so it was really a waste to just throw it here.

Feng Xi also suggested that everyone bring some food back.

But she also explained the two new dishes she ordered, which were brought back to Yan Xin's father.

The boss spends money and the boss takes it away, it is natural and natural, no one will question it.

Her behavior in the eyes of the employees was that she was honoring her future father-in-law for the sake of her daughter-in-law.

Finally, all the dishes were packaged. Yan Xin not only packed the two new dishes, but also included some of the other dishes in each portion.

The rest was taken away by the employees, including the unfinished drinks.

Even the beer and unfinished orange juice were taken home by the employees.

The meal and drinks cost more than 10,000 yuan, which was considered a top-notch banquet in this small county.

Feng Xi and Yan Xin went downstairs alone carrying several food boxes. When they got outside, they found that it was raining heavily.

Fortunately, Yan Xin drove over and there was no big problem.

After getting in the car, Feng Xi asked Yan Xin: "Do you want to go back to our dormitory to have a rest and then drive back later?"

She looked at Yan Xin with eyes full of expectation.

After this meal, the employees of the online store will go home and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

There will be no one else in that dormitory.

This is a rare opportunity to get along.

Yan Xin glanced at her, then looked away, shook his head, and said, "Let's forget it. It's raining, which is quite inconvenient. It would be better to go home earlier."

Feng Xi was silent for a while and said, "That's fine, I might as well go back earlier."

The car started and Yan Xin turned on the air conditioner in the car, which was quite warm.

He also turned on the stereo and played the record released by his own company.

This Mercedes-Benz broke through the rain curtain and drove on the street, and the sound of music spread out.

The song played at this time was "Fireworks Easily Cold" sung by Gu Ru.

Feng Xi sat in the passenger seat next to Yan Xin. After listening for a while, he heard the song "It rains heavily, the old hometown has deep vegetation, I heard that you are always alone, the mottled city gate is entangled with old tree roots and stone slabs."

What echoed above is "wait a little longer..." During this paragraph, I didn't know what I was thinking of, and my eyes suddenly became wet.

Suddenly he said to Yan Xin: "These lyrics are so well written..."

Yan Xin himself liked this song very much. He originally wanted to say "It's really well written", but suddenly he thought that this was a song he copied. In this time and space, this song was his own original creation, so there was no way he could do it.

I am praising myself, so I can only say modestly:

"It's not bad, I'm quite satisfied with it."

Feng Xi asked: "What were you thinking about when you wrote this song?"

Yan Xin thought to himself: "When I copied this song, what I was thinking about was how much profit copying this song would bring me."

This is the true answer, but there is no way to say it.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't have anything to think about. I'm just complaining about my new words."

Feng Xi snorted and said: "I thought when you wrote this song, you were thinking about a certain woman waiting for her lover to come back, but she never waited for that person to come back. She slowly walked alone.

What about the image of growing old in loneliness?”

Yan Xin suddenly remembered the dream he had had when he lived in that dormitory a few days ago. One of the dreams was that Feng Xi died alone.

My heart hurt inexplicably.

Feng Xi asked again: "Yan Xin, do you really believe that there is such a woman in this world? You know clearly that a person will never come back, but you are still waiting there stupidly?"

Yan Xin didn't dare to look at her eyes and shook his head: "I don't know if there is."

"I think so," Feng Xi said. "If it were me, if I liked someone, I would be like that, waiting for that person to come back all my life. Even if he is no longer in this world, I will still wait for him to come back.

.”

Yan Xin felt a little guilty, forced a smile, and said, "What if he changes his mind and falls in love with someone else?"

Feng Xi thought for a while and said: "I will still wait. I believe that one day he will understand that I am the one who loves him most in this world..."

"You are stupid!" Yan Xin said, "You think this is a love that touches the world, but in fact it only touches you. This is torturing yourself and torturing others - of course, it may not be able to torture

It hurts others, but it’s definitely torturing myself.”

"Torture yourself, just torture yourself, I don't care." Feng Xi said.

"There are so many good men in the world, why do they have to hang on a tree?" Yan Xin scolded.

Feng Xi smiled and said: "Maybe it's because that tree is my whole world..."
