Chapter 410 New Year's Eve
After the small year, it is the big year.
This is true across the country.
On New Year's Eve, firecrackers sound and fireworks bloom.
In a hotel in a southern city, Zhang Xiaobai and the driver Lao Yu sat opposite each other.
On the small table are side dishes such as peanuts and ham sausages, as well as two bottles of good wine and several bottles of beer.
Zhang Xiaobai threw a box of Yuxi to Lao Yu, and each lit a cigarette.
Old Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, the sun rose from the west today? Live in a high-end hotel again, and smoke good cigarettes again!"
After getting along for such a long time, I got to know Zhang Xiaobai well. When there were no outsiders, he only smoked Hongtashan. After he came out, the two lived in small hotels and only ate at roadside stalls. As for wine? rarely drank.
It was originally a joke, but now that flattering has been perfected, Lao Yu tried to flatter him firmly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaobai didn't smile at all, but showed guilt, "Old Yu, I'm sorry! The New Year's Eve is still running outside with me!"
Lao Yu touched Zhang Xiaobai's forehead and said with a smile: "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? Mr. Zhang, if you talk to me like this again, I won't know you!"
Zhang Xiaobai pushed him away with one hand, and said with a smile: "Get out! Drink! Let's drink all the wine tonight and have a good New Year!"
Lao Yu poured the wine, took a sip, and said earnestly: "No flattery, no flattering, no trouble, let's have a heart-to-heart chat between the two of you during the Chinese New Year!"
Lao Yu suddenly raised his thumb, "Mr. Zhang, I only have one word for you, I am convinced! After eating for so many years, walking for so many years, and seeing so many people, I have never seen you like this."
"What kind of life does a regional manager of a well-known large company live? Smoking cheap cigarettes, living in a small hotel, eating roadside stalls, what do you think you are doing? Why not save the company some money? You are For the great heroes who have made great contributions to Yuanda, this company is not yours, so why should you think about them?"
Lao Yu patted his chest and said, "Two words, for the sake of conscience! You Zhang Xiaobai is a man, and I admire Lao Yu's whole body. This glass of wine is toast to you!"
Zhang Xiaobai frowned and raised his thumb, and said, "Old Yu, your level of flattering has reached its peak, and you subtly and naturally flattered so loudly that it made me dizzy without drinking." , is really powerful!"
The two took a big sip of wine.
Zhang Xiaobai restrained his smile and said: "Actually, what you said is only one aspect. Brother Yao Yuan is my nobleman and trusts me so much. I really don't want the company to spend money! But there is another reason. I am used to being poor. The days are not bitter at all.”
Zhang Xiaobai said with a wry smile: "If a person has endured hunger and cold, this kind of life is simply the life of a god!"
Lao Yu raised his thumb again, "When drinking water, think of the source, remember bitterness and think of sweetness, Mr. Zhang, Lao Yu's admiration for you has increased a step further!"
Zhang Xiaobai said angrily: "Can you still have a good chat? I can't handle one flattery!"
Old Yu laughed out loud.
...
...
Chatting while drinking, making noise while chatting, the two old brothers were enjoying themselves while drinking.
The Spring Festival Gala was on the TV, and the two of them watched it from time to time, and they also watched some language programs. In their words, the songs were too elegant to appreciate.
Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year just want to have fun, the two of them are like this, and so are the common people all over the world.
Several hosts appeared together on TV.
Old Yu said: "It's almost midnight, and it will be 2002 soon!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Yes, I am one year older!"
Old Yu glanced at him and said, "You are in the prime of your youth, and I am half buried!"
Zhang Xiaobai glanced at the mobile phone on the table, and said with a smile: "Old Yu, guess who will call me first after midnight?"
The first day of the new year is the official day of New Year's greetings. Many people know Zhang Xiaobai's mobile phone number, and the phone number must be indispensable.
Lao Yu said angrily: "I love so and so, anyway, I can't hold it anymore, so I'll go to sleep first!"
The two bottles of white wine have been finished, and there are still a few bottles of beer left. Lao Yu drank a lot, stood up and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Zhang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you still a soldier? You can't drink so much!"
The TV has entered the countdown, and the hosts are counting down.
Zhang Xiaobai had a feeling that as soon as midnight passed, the phone would ring immediately.
Just don't know who the first person is.
Presumably it was a woman.
The fireworks outside suddenly sounded, and 2002 officially arrived.
The phone call also came as expected.
Zhang Xiaobai looked at the number, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Sister! Happy New Year!"
The first one to call in was Bai Lu.
"What did you have for the New Year's Eve dinner?" Bai Lu asked.
"Big fish and meat, delicacies from mountains and seas!" Zhang Xiaobai lied.
"Fart! Are you a stingy person willing to eat those?" Bai Lu said.
"Okay, peanuts, ham sausage, and wine!" Zhang Xiaobai answered truthfully.
"Well, this is my younger brother's style!" Bai Lu said.
"Hey, it seems that you all know my glorious tradition of thrift!" Zhang Xiaobai said.
"Don't be poor, pay attention to your body outside, don't suffer yourself! That's it, happy new year!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Lu turned off the phone directly, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.
Before midnight, Zhang Xiaobai's number was displayed on her mobile phone, the bell rang, and the key was dialed out.
Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette, feeling warm in his heart.
Just said a few words, but the deep concern was revealed between the lines.
The second call came again, and it turned out to be Wei Wei.
"Master, Happy New Year!"
"Bajie, Happy Chinese New Year!"
"Master, I was called by you, I'm already fat!"
"It doesn't matter, my apprentice is still a beauty no matter how fat she is!"
Wei Wei giggled non-stop on the phone
Zhang Xiaobai asked, "How did you do in the test?"
"When the time comes, you can wait to see me at the university!"
"It's a promise, I will definitely go as a teacher when the time comes!"
...
...
After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone, and then Xiaomei Bao called.
Zhang Xiaobai's prediction was correct, the calls were all from girls.
After a simple New Year's greeting, Bao Xiaomei reported the situation in Ansu Province. Apart from TV commercials, Huinong didn't make any big moves, and Yuanda didn't have any major issues, so he didn't have to worry.
Zhang Xiaobai was very relieved of Bao Xiaomei, and after a few words of advice, the two hung up the phone.
The phone rang again, but Zhang Xiaobai was a little surprised that it was Wang Changhu.
He was obviously drunk, and he wished the new year with his tongue out, and then wept over there and talked about Xu Xiaojuan.
Hearing the whistling wind, Zhang Xiaobai knew that he must be outside, and before he finished speaking, he shouted angrily: "Why are you crying? You are a man, so put away your tears! Is it worth it for such a woman?"
It really worked, Wang Changhu was so frightened, chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone.
Zhang Xiaobai hesitated to pick up the phone, thinking why she didn't call?
It seemed that it was time to take the initiative, and then Zhang Xiaobai dialed Su Tong's cell phone number.
