the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

The weather was overcast, and the cold wind was like a knife whizzing into people's necks.

Qin Guanglin asked for half a day's leave, driving to the station, reluctantly told for a long time not to run around at night, watching her get on the bus before calling back to the company.

This difference, at least ten days.

It's the longest separation between two people.

I'm not used to it Qin Guanglin listens to the soothing music and goes back to the company. As soon as he takes off his scarf and hat, Chen Rui pulls him to the office.

"What's the matter?"

"Of course, there are happy events."

With a smile, Chen Rui sorted out several documents from his desk. "Although we have only worked together for more than half a year, we share weal and woe, and have gone through tribulation together..."

"Don't sensationalize." Qin Guanglin interrupted, "I'm just doing what I should do."

"Ha To tell you the truth, if you didn't work overtime with me until midnight in recent months, it would be very difficult for the company to survive. That's the truth. "

"Recruitment, outsourcing, are not unable to sustain it?" Qin Guanglin felt that at most it was just a great loss of vitality. He couldn't slow down for a long time, and he couldn't sustain it.

"It's easy to outsource, but it's hard to get it back. It's still our main product to change a cartoon for several hands, let alone..." Chen Rui smiles, shakes his head and says, "let's not talk about that. Anyway, it's the two of us who have stayed up until the early hours of the morning from time to time in recent months Well I want you to be a director... "

Seeing that Qin Guanglin was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, Chen Rui stretched out his hand and pressed it for a moment. He continued: "of course, we are not all the same now, so let it go first. When we have more people and dozens of people, we will bring it up to you."

"So happy is the delayed director? More than that - "Qin Guanglin thinks that Chen Rui's style of doing things is not so simple, and there may be surprises behind.

"More than that, of course."

Chen Rui's words excited him. He rubbed his hands and leaned forward. "What else?"

"You'll see later." Chen Rui didn't plan to say it now. After the director mentioned it, he reached out and pushed the information on his hand to Qin Guanglin.

"This is the plan for next spring. Please refer to it When we have a holiday, we can go home for reference. After finishing the rest of the work, we will have a holiday. If we don't get stuck in the 2829 days, we should have an early holiday. After all, these months are not ordinary hard work. "

"OK, I'll do it first."

Qin Guanglin put away the documents, turned to go out and continued to draw his own cartoon.

This small company doesn't parachute, the position of second in command It should be stable.

Near the end of work, Chen Rui took a look at the progress of his work, clapped his hands, gathered the people to one side, formed a circle on the table, made a simple year-end summary, and held a meeting to say something.

After summing up, he put forward a travel bag and began to pay from it like at the end of October.

"We've been working hard these months."

Chen Rui glanced around and could see the joy on everyone's faces.

Everyone likes the year-end bonus, especially the one given by such a generous boss.

"In October, the company lost half of its staff, and I don't want to talk about them any more."

"With the rest of us working overtime, we still get everything done and do it quite well."

Chen Rui looked at the crowd, finished sentence by sentence, and slightly bowed to indicate.

"I want to thank you."

“……”

All of them didn't say a word, waiting for Chen Rui's next words.

"If they leave, they leave. If we stay, we have done a good job, so the salary and bonus that should belong to them..." Chen Rui patted the money on the table and said with a smile: "I can't support the company alone, and I don't think it would be good to save such a large amount of expenses. Since the rest of us have finished the work overtime, we should share the saved salary and bonus together."

"In a way, we also want to thank them for leaving."

……

I don't know who gave Chen Rui the idea. The year-end bonus was given out in a bunch of cash. Qin Guanglin speechlessly took off work and went to the bank to deposit the 80000 yuan before driving home.

80000 is salary plus commission plus year-end bonus. He didn't look at the proportion. He took a look at the payslip and tore it. He threw it away.

Anyway, I can't figure out so much. I can only say that Chen Rui is generous. According to Chen Rui, his salary is the same as that of Qin Guanglin, and his commission is strictly calculated.

Humming a little song all the way back home, Qin's mother is eating Coke chicken wings. She is very happy when she sees Qin Guanglin come in and act. Her mouth is still glossy.

"Why are you back?"

“…… I guess you didn't cook my meal? " Qin Guanglin's good mood froze in an instant.

So sweet, but not his share."You didn't say you were coming back to eat Why not? Going home for the new year? "

"Yes, she's gone back. I'll go to Hecheng in a few years to pick her up. By the way, I'll go to the door of my future father-in-law's house Why is there nothing in the fridge? "

Qin Guanglin said, open the refrigerator, it is empty, only some small pickles or something, or why not teach Qin Ma to do that long ago.

Qin's mother chewed the chicken bone and said, "why do I save so many dishes alone? I eat fresh food every day You can order takeout. "

"Take out for new year's Eve..." Qin Guanglin's own cooking plan was forced to stop, muttering and going out again, "I'll go to Shaxian to see if it's open."

I just made 80000, but I still have to come out to eat Shaxian steamed dumplings Fortunately, Shaxian has not yet returned home for the new year, Qin Guanglin angrily ate a large bowl of noodles, belching is barely satisfied.

"I just paid 80000. He shows off with his mobile phone.

"Wow, that's great. "

why not reply so perfunctorily.

Qin Guanglin patted Zhang Zhaofa to the empty drawer and bowl on the table. "Then he ate the steamed dumplings from Shaxian hotel. "

" Wow, you eat so much, I want to eat too! 」

「…… "Qin Guanglin found that she didn't catch the point, so he had to remind her," as soon as you leave, I can only live such a hard life. "

" when I get back, I'll make you a big table to eat. "

this time, Qin Guanglin was satisfied. He told her that after opening the video in the evening, he put away his mobile phone to check out and hummed a little song to go home.

"Are you full?"

Qin's mother had already cleared the table and sipped a cup of tea made by pangdahai. When she saw him coming back, she asked.

"I'm full."

"You sit here. I have something to tell you."

Qin Guanglin is about to go back to the bedroom for video chat. When he hears her words, he stops and says, "what's the matter?"

Whenever Qin's mother said, "you sit here and have something to say," her skin was tight.

It's not normal to be so serious.

Qin's mother didn't return. She took a sip of pangdahai tea and looked up at him. After he sat down, she pondered and said, "do you want to get married first or buy a house first?"

"Buying a house You have to be able to afford it. " Qin Guanglin was relieved, "do you support me? Next year, if I make a lot of money, I'll pay a down payment, and then I'll propose... "

"Wait, you wait." Qin Ma stretched out her hand and interrupted, "are you going to buy a house first and then get married or get married first and then buy a house?"

"If you can buy it first, you can buy it first." Qin Guanglin said without hesitation. After a pause, he realized that Qin's mother had something to say. He pursed his lips and said, "this Let's talk about it then. She and I don't have to think about it so much - it's both of us. We can tell each other clearly
