Life is a Game

On January 15th, Taifeng Building was the last day of business before the year. All the employees of Taifeng Building are like students who do not need to take the final exam and go on vacation directly. Everyone has a happy and happy smile on their faces, and the whole restaurant exudes a happy atmosphere of vacation.

This happiness also infected Han Guishan, who was originally depressed because of the last day of Taifeng Building's business. Han Youxin, who looked sad behind him, formed a stark contrast.

I believe that when Han Youxin realizes that these dozens of pickled vegetable dumplings are not for him, the happy smile will return to his face.

During the mid-afternoon break, Jiang Feng took time to go to the bank to withdraw 8888 yuan in cash, all of which were banknotes wrapped in red, and planned to hand over the stuffed red envelope to Ji Xia early in the morning of the next day.

After the evening business ended, everyone did not leave on their own, but stayed in the store and waited for Wang Xiulian to give everyone red envelopes.

Although it is closed during the Chinese New Year, Wang Xiulian feels that the New Year's red envelopes should still be given, and it is all to cheer up in advance.

The amount in each person's red envelope is different, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand. The amount is set by Wang Xiulian, Fang Mei and the two old men, based on everyone's usual work performance and working hours. The new recruits have to suffer a bit, such as Master Wang, Dong Shi and Dong Li's red envelopes are only 200 yuan, but the red envelope paper is the same, and Comrade Wang Xiulian bought it from the wholesale market.

Among the kitchen staff, the one with the thickest red envelope was not Jiang Feng or Wu Minqi, but Zhou Shi, who was about to leave the job and go home to start his own business after the last day of work.

Zhou Shi has not been absent-minded in the past few months. He works diligently and conscientiously when he works every day. Not to mention giving full play to 100% of his strength, at least 80% to 90%. In the last half of the month, I also took Dong Shi very seriously, trying my best not to hide anything, and it is the same with other people. It can be called answering every question, just like the big broadcast in the last half of the month.

Wang Xiulian negotiated with the two old men for a few days, and felt that although Zhou Shi quit, he still had to give him a big red envelope to make him have a good impression of Taifeng Building. The salary deduction is indeed a bit too much.

Everyone was beaming after receiving the red envelopes. Even if it’s not New Year’s Eve, everyone wants to say Happy New Year, just like returning home to pay New Year’s greetings to the elders at home.

After Wang Xiulian finished sending out the last red envelope, which was the 666 yuan red envelope to Ji Xia, everyone was ready to leave. Everyone is going to go back and take a good rest to accumulate luck and try to win the first prize at tomorrow's annual meeting.

Since ancient times, the Gan Emperor is no match for the Emperor of Europe, as long as the lucky draw at the annual meeting is done well, no matter how much wages are deducted on weekdays, they can make up for it.

Jiang Feng was about to go home with Wu Minqi when he turned his head and saw Zhou Shi squatting at the entrance of Taifeng building, smoking a cigarette on the ground. Jiang Feng told Wu Minqi that he was going to have a word with Zhou Shi and asked Wu Minqi to wait for him.

Wu Minqi nodded and went down to the intersection to wait for Jiang Feng, who then walked towards Zhou Shi.

He smokes every week, but he is not very addicted to cigarettes. He only smokes occasionally when he is happy or has troubles. Although he doesn't smoke much on weekdays, the way he holds his cigarettes is definitely an old-fashioned smoker, especially when he squats on the side of the road smoking, he looks very similar to a gangster smoking at the school gate.

"Don't go back so late." Jiang Feng squatted down and faced Zhou Shi face to face.

"I'll go back after smoking this one." Zhou Shi said, "Do you want to have one too, little boss?"

"I don't smoke." Jiang Feng waved his hand, "My grandma has a bad throat and chronic pharyngitis and can't smell the smell of cigarettes. My family doesn't smoke."

Zhou Shi said with a smile: "It's good not to smoke. I've wanted to quit smoking for a long time and I can't quit. Fortunately, I don't have a heavy addiction so I won't be disgusted by others."

Zhou Shi took another two puffs and extinguished the cigarette: "It's so late, why hasn't the little boss gone back?"

"It's not that you are about to resign and go back to your hometown. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to talk to you in the future, so hurry up and say a few more words in person." Jiang Feng smiled.

Zhou Shi was silent.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhou Shi, who hadn't zipped his down jacket, shivered involuntarily. He stood up, and Jiang Feng also stood up with him.

"Do you really want to go home and open a shop, and don't think about staying?" Jiang Feng asked.

"If I want to stay, I can't. I called home and told my mother that I was going back to open a store. My mother was so happy that she even rented the store. I paid all the deposit and rent. Wouldn't it be a big loss if I regretted it now? "Zhou Shi said, "I haven't made a name for myself in all these years in Peking. Even though I saved some money, I can barely pay a down payment for the house. I don't have a wife or girlfriend. It's time to go home and settle down."

Zhou Shi had already talked about this, and Jiang Feng couldn't say anything to make him stay. It's just that everyone had eaten melons and eaten together in the past few months to create a revolutionary friendship. When it was time for him to resign and go home, he was a little bit reluctant.

"It's such a pity. If you stay and work on this momentum for two more years, you might be able to buy a house with full payment when you go back." Jiang Feng feigned regret.

"Buying a house with full payment and no wife, my mother will rush after me with a knife and chop it all over the city." Zhou Shi shook his head, "It's good to go back, there are no famous famous stores over there, so I might hang out for a while when I go back." In ten years, you can still get the name of a master."

"By the way, the red envelope I touched today is quite thick, and the amount is probably not small, thank you."

"Don't thank me. I don't have the right to set the money in the red envelope. The money in my red envelope is not as much as yours. The amount is set by my mother and my two grandfathers. If you think it is too much, the extra money Take it as a congratulatory gift from our family for opening your store. Anyway, we won't be able to go when your new store opens." Jiang Feng laughed.

Zhou Shi smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and took out a cigarette and lit it: "Little boss, thank you."

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"You've already resigned, so why are you still called a small boss?"

"Although I resigned and handed in my resignation letter, I still have to go to tomorrow's annual meeting. Since we are going to draw a lottery, of course we have to call the little boss again. The boss is the one who paid the money." Zhou Shi took a deep breath of his cigarette and turned his head Face to spit out the smoke.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. By the way, little boss, can you tell me what is the first prize at the annual meeting tomorrow?"

"You'll know tomorrow. If I tell you now that you've been looking forward to it for a day and didn't get it tomorrow, wouldn't it be an increase in trouble?" Jiang Feng turned around and waved his hand when he rushed to Zhou, "Let's go, I'm no better than you guys." I can sleep in tomorrow, and I will take Xia Xia to go shopping tomorrow."

Zhou Shi smiled and didn't speak any more. He looked up at the signboard of Taifeng Building, put out the cigarette he had only smoked twice, and left.

His figure was full of sadness.

Jiang Feng met Wu Minqi at the intersection.

"How is it?" Wu Minqi asked.

"I didn't make a move. I still have to go home. Zhou Shi rented out the shop. If I had said it two months earlier, I might have been able to make a move." Jiang Feng said.

"You can't say it two months earlier. Brother Zhou is fine when he comes home. He is not suitable to stay in Peiping." Wu Minqi took Jiang Feng's hand and the two walked forward, "Tomorrow I will go shopping with Xia Xia. Things, did you take the money?"

"I took it, and put it on the porch. Now I'm a little worried that giving her so much money at one time, this little girl will spend it indiscriminately." Jiang Feng said in the tone of an old father.

"Let Xia Xia spend her own money as she likes. Even if she buys more than 100 chocolate pies, she has to eat them all by herself or take them home, right?" Wu Minqi laughed.

"That's right, anyway, the new year is coming soon, so she can buy whatever she wants. Xia Xia doesn't have a mobile phone and can't recharge the game, so she can't spend it randomly." Jiang Feng echoed.

The two walked forward side by side, even though the street was as deserted as before, it seemed that there was a little more flavor of the year.

It's almost new year again.
