The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

 The twelfth lunar month is the peak period for human relations.

 Specifically, in small places like Beigang, gifts are given in various ways.

 In a big city like the capital, there is a one-stop shop for all kinds of food, drink and entertainment.

 Actually, Wu Yuan had already tried very hard to refuse.

 But the schedule is still full.

 It feels quite like a person is in the arena and can’t help himself.

 Fortunately, no matter how many drinking parties and social gatherings there are, as New Year's Eve approaches day by day, it will come to an end.

 Only this year, with the Asian Games Village project in full swing.

 Wu Yuan's business in the capital is getting bigger and bigger.

 As a result, it is really impossible to leave early and go home to celebrate the New Year like in previous years.

Even the train tickets could only be purchased with Mingqi and the others for the night train on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

 That’s it, I asked someone to open the back door and get the ticket.

Even so, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, February 1st, Saturday.

 Wu Yuan could not stop his busy inertia.

 Looking at the Asian Games Village apartments decorated with lights and colorful decorations, as well as the abundant New Year’s Eve surroundings in the commercial shopping mall.

 I always feel that it is unreal.

“Master Yuan, this is the year-end bonus plan for Tengda Branch this year, please take a look.”

Ma Mingqi walked in with a document, interrupting his thoughts.

Wu Yuan took the document, scanned it, and said immediately: "This year, Tengda Branch has exceeded the expected goals, and its performance in all aspects is excellent. The year-end bonus will be doubled based on this plan. You can change it, and at the same time let everyone The department will make an explanation announcement."

Ma Mingqi couldn't help but gasped, "Master Yuan, is it too..."

Wu Yuan smiled unmoved and said: "Can't you accept this? Let me tell you, as long as everyone works hard, the good days are still to come!"

Ma Mingqi came to her senses, grabbed the performance plan document and said, "Then I'll change it right now."

Reminded by Ma Mingqi, Wu Yuan simply put on his down jacket, picked up a lunch box on the table, went downstairs and went straight to the shopping mall.

 The team performance of the shopping mall has been merged and calculated together with the Tengda branch.

 The reason why he came here in person was because he was targeting the supermarket on the first floor below.

 Supermarkets are as busy as ever.

Wu Yuan walked through the employee passage and found An Yi. The girl was calculating the losses of the previous day while eating.

 This is the biggest problem since the supermarket opened.

 All loss indicators are unusually high.

 Although this is relatively high, it is not outstanding compared with the profits of supermarkets.

 However, with the continuous emergence of supermarkets in the future, competition will intensify. Sooner or later, we must consider increasing revenue and reducing expenditure from this aspect.

“Don’t eat that one,” Wu Yuan put the lunch box in front of An Yi and said, “Try this one.”

An Yi opened the lid of the stainless steel box without knowing what was going on, and crystal clear dumplings popped up in front of her eyes.

 About twenty in total.

 “Is this for me?”

Wu Yuan stretched out his hand to grab it: "If you don't want to eat it, I can take it away."

 Unexpectedly, An Yi grabbed it in her hand, put it on her face, and licked them all.

After licking it, he said proudly: "It's all stained with my saliva. You can take it away if you want."

Wu Yuan could only take back his hand and said: "You are also a big manager after all, so please pay attention to your image, okay?" An Yi greedily sniffed the dumplings and said, "How much is your image worth? Are dumplings as fragrant as these?"

Wu Yuan waved his hand, "That's all, let me tell you something serious. Please check the employees' year-end performance immediately and send it to me for approval. By the way, check with Tengda Branch and Panpan Branch to see what year-end benefits will be distributed and submit them in a unified way. Purchase for you.”

 An Yi saluted mischievously, "Promise to complete the mission!"

On returning to the Tengda branch, Wu Yuan realized that he was really too busy this year.

 Whether it is bonuses or benefits, they are all paid too late.

So he called Jin Qi and Mingqi over and told them to hurry up and make sure to implement it today.

 The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is February 2nd.

 Wu Yuan's physical and mental rhythm finally slowed down with the arrival of Sunday.

 I’m going back tonight.

 This is a New Year’s gift that I should take home, but I haven’t prepared it at all.

So after breakfast, Wu Yuan took Ma Mingchao for a walk from Wangfujing to Xidan, and finally ended up at the Tenda Trade Shopping Center.

This is how I managed to collect the New Year’s gifts.

And after making some purchases, he was pleased to find that Tengda Trading was fully capable of rivaling Wangfujing and Xidan.

 Become one of the preferred shopping destinations for people in the capital during this new year.

 As lunch was approaching, Wu Yuan’s big brother rang loudly.

When I picked up the call, I heard Yan Ruqing's voice: "Uncle Huang knows that you are going back to your hometown soon, so he wants to ask you to come over and have a meal in advance."

 Wu Yuan said without saying a word: "I'll go back right away."

 An hour later, Huanglao Siheyuan.

 Mr. Huang, who had always looked senile, suddenly put on a festive Tang suit and looked energetic.

Sitting at the head of the rosewood round table, Huang Lao raised the cup himself and said: "This year is a critical point in my life. Many years ago, a blind fortune teller said that this year is my final day."

Yan Ruqing said disapprovingly: "Uncle Huang, you also believe in this kind of superstition."

Huang Lao said calmly: "Everything else that this blind fortune teller said has come true."

Yan Ruqing looked at the eldest sister of the Huang family in disbelief, and saw her nodding slightly.

Huang Lao continued: "When I think about it these days, I should say that I was able to get through this pass safely, thanks to you."

Wu Yuan was listening carefully.

Unexpectedly, as I listened, I heard something coming on my head.

“Huang Lao, how dare I do this! You are really trying to beat me, I’m just a carpenter…”

Wu Yuan was so anxious that he forced out all his words.

 Looked at Yan Ruqing, hoping that she could help with a word or two.

As a result, Yan Ruqing nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle Huang, if you say that, I think it's not unreasonable."

Huang Lao drank the three qian of wine in the wine cup in one gulp and let the wine cup be taken away. "Just after the operation, when I felt worried, I called Xiao Wu over to talk. Don't tell me. I'll listen to him on many things." As soon as I said it, my heart immediately became bright and clear..."

“...until later, you all knew that many things really developed as this kid said. No one believed this except Lao Ding and Lao Li!”

“…You all should be careful from now on and be sure to protect this kid and don’t let anyone touch him.”

Since Huang’s old saying goes so far, Wu Yuan naturally couldn’t help but get drunk.

　　Until I woke up again, I was already lying on the train heading south to my hometown.

Ming Chao, Ming Qi, Zou Ning, and Yao Meili were playing cards and having fun nearby.

Wu Yuan did not get up, but just lay quietly, his head resting on the wheel, as if he were resting on the wheel of the times. Moreover, he drove into the spring breeze of the new era, drifting further and further away, never stopping!
