Ningzhou, Central Square Station.

Xu Yan stood next to the ATM machine with his shoulders slanted, watching the crowd coming and going before him, suddenly feeling aloof and independent.

He touched a Zhonghua, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the lighter, but he saw a big no-smoking sign hanging on the wall in front of him, and a few fashionable girls walked by, and glanced at Xu Yan—— Xu Yan felt that they seemed to be looking at him, which made him subconsciously put the cigarette back.

After a few seconds, Xu Yan suddenly felt aggrieved again - he obviously made money, but now he doesn't know how to spend it, and he still doesn't feel happy at all.

"It's boring, it's boring." Xu Yan said to himself resentfully.Now he already regretted accepting that crap surgery - what's the point of earning money if he can't make himself happy.

"What's not interesting." The glass door of the ATM machine opened, and Wang Youquan walked out from inside. His face was flushed red, exactly the same as Xu Yan's 2 minutes ago.

Wang Youquan held a bank card in his hand, and he seemed reluctant to put it back into his pocket, but it seemed a little inconvenient to hold it in his hand, but Wang Youquan still couldn't help holding it for a while .

The card was from ICBC, and the raised account number on it shone with a faint silver light. Wang Youquan rubbed these raised bumps, feeling like he was plastering a piece of good suet jade.

"Look at you," the calm Xu Yan couldn't help but sneer, "How much? Make you so happy?"

"Same as you, 32."

"Same as me?" Xu Yan shook his head, "You work much harder than me...the search and rescue team didn't give you more bonuses?"

"It's all hard work, with no technical content," Wang Youquan said with a chuckle. "In less than half a year, I can easily earn more than 30 yuan. I'm already very content... I used to work hard for two years."

"Excellence," Xu Yan was obviously acting like this 2 minutes ago, but now he is starting to raise his level, motivating Wang Youquan, "Think about it, that old man, Professor Shen, and Wu Xiaoqing, can they earn money? How much."

"How do we compare with others, they are all smart people."

"We're not stupid." Xu Yan looked down on Wang Youquan's unmotivated appearance. "You graduated from high school, and I graduated from high school. Wu Xiaoqing was only in junior high school before!"

"But people are getting smarter now."

"I don't think he's very clever," Xu Yan said with a bit of arrogance. "Give me some time to think of the ideas he thought, and I can figure them out. Isn't it just something from my ancestors..."

"The key is that we didn't take the initiative to speak up. We dare not speak up every time we have a meeting... In fact, it's nothing. We should take the initiative next time. As the saying goes, three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang. The two of us add up and discuss it carefully. For a moment, it's still okay to compare with Wu Xiaoqing."

Wang Youquan is in a good mood now, and besides, he is used to Xu Yan's talkative habit, so he didn't argue.After looking at the crowd, he asked again, "Did you buy a ticket?"

"No, there is no money in the subway card, and there are many people in line... why don't you take a taxi."

"Waste of money, besides, is there a car now?" Wang Youquan said, "Buy a temporary ticket."

After all, since joining the company, neither of them has taken the subway again, and they usually use the company's car to commute.It's just that in the past two days, because the company's projects have been discontinued one after another, the company's seven or eight cars are busy delivering various experts, and they are all too busy for a while.

The projects they were working on were also disbanded. Before, they could still be called Mr. Xu and Mr. Wang. Today, when they go to the company, they can only be called Xiao Xu and Lao Wang.This time I went home on vacation again - the Chinese New Year is approaching, and Ningzhou must be in a depression during the Chinese New Year, but the time before the year before is often the busiest.

No, the two waited for a taxi for about half an hour, and finally walked to the subway station.

Xu Yan had agreed with Wang Youquan earlier that he would go to his house to celebrate the New Year this year.

Xu Yan is a bachelor, and he and his family have had a tough fight because of the pyramid scheme - he still doesn't want to go back for a while.

More than 30 yuan, plus the previous remuneration, four to five million yuan, say more or less.Say you want to return to your hometown, and you can buy a good car with this little money, and you can't even buy a house in the city.

When Xu Yan was engaged in MLM to brag b before, he would always say that he would take tens of millions back... The four to five million yuan is still a bit short.But at this rate, there will be a few more years—considering the unlimited development prospects of this profession in the future, Xu Yan's bragging in the past seems to be not too far from the day when it will be realized.

After getting off the subway, I passed by a gift shop, which had already started selling New Year's goods.Xu Yan walked in and bought a red envelope and a fruit basket.When it was time to pay, Wang Youquan came over to stop him: "They all belong to the same company, why are you being so polite?"

"This kind of etiquette is still required. There is no reason to go to someone else's house to eat empty-handed during the Chinese New Year," Xu Yan said, and stuffed some cash from the ATM just now into the red envelope, and there were probably a dozen of them. "Your son Small, don't give too much, don't say I'm stingy."

"You gave it to my wife and you have to put it away."

"Then I'll put a few more," Xu Yan said, "By the way, do you have many relatives during Chinese New Year?"

"There will be no one," Wang Youquan sighed, "Knowing that I have been gambling, I owe money, and it's too late to hide, how can I take the initiative to come to my door?"

"You didn't show off the money you made?"

"What are you showing off?" Wang Youquan said, "No matter how much I earn, they will think I got it from a gamble... Sooner or later, I will lose it. This year it's just you, Wu Xiaoqing, and that old man."

"The old man is coming too? Isn't he going back to the United States for the New Year?"

"You still say you're smart," Wang Youquan said with a smile, "What kind of Spring Festival is an old man...he just came to join us in the fun."

"Alright, get to know each other better and build relationships with each other."

"You know Russian."

"Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig run away... Priwitt will always say that."

"That's a relationship with the devil."

"Hey, old man, as long as you drink with him, he will be your brother."

"You are stupid, someone has had an operation."

"It's you who are stupid. The operation is just to quit addiction... It's not that you can't drink, you don't like to drink."

The two of them talked and raised the bar all the way, and they arrived at Wang Youquan's house before they knew it.

Because of the search and rescue team, Xu Yan and Wang Youquan have known each other for nearly a year, and the two of them basically stayed together during the search and rescue missions.

From driving the excavator during the flood, to staring at the guards during the volcanic eruption, to this time, two people in the space station had to watch the main control room and help the search and rescue team do small jobs at any time. To be responsible for the power generation line, back to the earth, most of the time is spent in the charging factory.

Originally, the two of them didn't like each other very much, Xu Yan thought Wang Youquan was too stupid, Wang Youquan felt that Xu Yan didn't say a word of truth.

But after getting along for a long time and getting to know each other well, there is nothing to worry about.The most important thing is that both of them have earned money from the pit of the search and rescue team... When they usually return to the earth for a round of rest, except for the company dormitory, Xu Yan also accompanied Wang Youquan's family for dinner. Xu Yan is familiar - after all, every time he comes, he will bring some small gifts or something.

When he entered the door today, Wang Youquan's son was watching TV, and immediately came over when he saw Xu Yan, staring blankly at Xu Yan's two hands.He was a little disappointed after not seeing the gift, but after Xu Yan took out the red envelope, his eyes began to light up again.

"Sister-in-law, I wish you an early New Year's Eve." Xu Yan gave the fruit basket to Wang Youquan's wife, and stuffed the red envelope into Wang Xiaojin's pocket. "This year's Chinese New Year, I'll just eat and drink at your house."

"We're so familiar, yet we still speak in such a strange way." Wang Youquan's wife still welcomes Xu Yan as a "company colleague". Although this person's mouth seems unreliable, the company is reliable.As long as my husband can earn money outside, and bring it home safely every time he goes home, and don't spend it on the gambling table, everything else is easy to talk about...

"Why didn't you Mr. Wu come today?"

"He's busy." Xu Yan went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a good puff, "Didn't you all become stars before?"

"It's on fire." Wang Youquan's wife didn't mind the smell of smoke at all, and she came over and took the initiative to talk, "It means that your company has a future. How long will you stay this time? Can you stay until the first day?"

"I didn't say it, but I will definitely have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over."

Wang Youquan pretended to be very casual at this time, and put the bank card in his wife's hand: "I just got it, and I didn't touch a penny, he supervised it."

Wang's wife looked at the unfamiliar card and asked in surprise, "Isn't your salary paid to your account all the time? What is this? Bonus?"

"Just don't think it's a small treasury," Wang Youquan said, "Let's count it as a year's bonus plus dividends."

"Your boss will pay dividends?" The windfall made Wang's wife so happy that she almost jumped out to check the numbers. "Don't go out, let's cook something casually first. I don't have any appetite."

"I don't have any food at home... Let me go to the vegetable market, or I can order you a takeaway."

"Who dares to eat the takeaway now? You can just stir-fry a few dishes. I think there is still some beef in the refrigerator."

"Row."

The kitchen quickly became busy, and after the food was cooked and served, Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "How much?"

"It's not much." In fact, Wang Youquan was also panicked. If his wife didn't ask, he couldn't help but say first, "It's only 32."

"32!" Wang's wife almost cried out in a low voice.

Xu Yan smiled when he heard it.

"how about you?"

"We are the same."

"Then your boss paid 64 just for the two of you?" Wang's wife was still holding the shovel in her hand, waving it slightly because of excitement, "That's the one, the one who came to eat before, Mr. Wu?"

"Anyone else is him."

"It's really rich." Wang's wife couldn't help being curious, "What kind of work are you asked to do to give so much money?"

"Look, what I said, I have to ask again after I've given the affirmation," Xu Yan said, "Anyway, sister-in-law, remember, it's not a crime. We can't say what it is. If we talk about it, the job will be ruined."

"Then I won't ask, I won't ask..." Wife Wang covered her mouth, but she couldn't hold back the smile inside, "Hey, Xiao Xu, didn't you ask me to introduce someone to you last time? How about it? I will take you to meet people in two days?"

"Yo, thank you then. But let me tell you first, I won't see you if it's not pretty, at least you have to take it out." This was Xu Yan's previous condition, but now, he thinks it's appropriate to add one, " By the way, preferably college students."

"By the way, where's your boss?" Wang's wife gossiped again, "Does he want a blind date?"

"Him?" Xu Yan laughed, "He has plenty of people to help him with blind dates, and it's not your sister-in-law's turn to help."

The two of them ate a few mouthfuls, which was considered to be the first to feed their stomachs.Every time I go to the space station and come back, I must eat something to get used to it—the liquid food in the space station is really not for people to eat, basically they don’t eat it unless they are very hungry.After feeling [-]% full, Xu Yan suggested that everyone go out to have dinner together and have a big meal to celebrate.

Wang Youquan's wife is still honest - it is not easy to find a restaurant when going out during the Chinese New Year, it is expensive and the food is not good.In this way, she is at home, cooking hot pot, and she is going to buy vegetables now.

Because she was happy, Wang's wife even forgot to confiscate her son's red envelope. After seeing her mother leave, Wang Xiaojin immediately went out of the house—taking advantage of the money being confiscated, it would be prudent to rush to spend it.

"I really envy you, having a wife and son," Xu Yan said looking at the remaining half of the fried rice, "Unlike me, I don't even have a place to spend my money."

"I still envy you for not marrying a wife. Why are you so anxious?" Wang Youquan also lit a Chinese, and he was full of satisfaction while swallowing, "The good days are yet to come."
