The company is on holiday about 10 days before the Chinese New Year, but Dachenshe is still working overtime until the new year.

When I got home on New Year's Eve, my wife complained: "No matter how much money you give, you can't order people around like this. At least let people celebrate the New Year."

In fact, the last year was not a good one. On New Year’s Eve, he had to give out red envelopes to each employee one by one. This was not required by the company—in fact, the money for the red envelopes had already been paid, and he could give them out at any time.

However, Chen She felt that it was more shocking to send out such a large amount of money on New Year's Eve - these were all extras, not counted in the extra bonuses included in the year-end bonus.

Because most of the company's employees are highly mobile, Wu Xiaoqing intends to use the money to try to keep as many people as possible—it is impossible for Wu Xiaoqing to give the employees hope with any ideals and future, and it cannot be said that their work in the company is Save the alien civilization.

Wu Xiaoqing can only use something as vulgar as money to show his sincerity, and the company's future "money prospects" are limitless.

It's not so much dedication, it's better to say that Chen She is afraid.If these employees feel that the company is unreliable and run away after the new year - then all the matters will have to be left on Chen She alone, and let him figure out a solution.Then he really wanted to die—in his wife's words, he died with guilt of doing nothing with a million-dollar salary.

After distributing red envelopes on the New Year's Eve and receiving surprise thanks from all the employees, Chen She finally felt relieved.

When I woke up, it was already 12 noon.

Although his parents live in Shenhai, their hometown is still in Jiangnan. According to the custom, he has to go home to meet his wife, and then go to his hometown in Jiangnan to pay New Year's greetings. By the way, he will show off his new wife to all relatives, and then go to Jiangbei. The old man was showing off his new son-in-law.

Fortunately, the traffic conditions along the way were good, everyone in Shenhai had almost left, and the expressway to Ningzhou was smooth.When I got home in the afternoon, I called my wife, calculated the time, and took the initiative to cook a meal before my wife arrived home.

When it comes to cooking, the answer is actually very simple, that is, cook pasta and add two steaks.He doesn't like these foreign things, but the wife does—there's nothing else in the fridge, that's all.

As soon as Chen She's wife opened the door, she could smell the strong smell of meat in the kitchen.While waiting for the meat to be cold, the two confirmed the final timetable by the way—they had better have dinner early and set off early, so that they could arrive at Chen She's hometown at around 10:[-] p.m.Find a nearby hotel to rest for a good night, get up early tomorrow, and go to New Year's greetings in good spirits - no need to drive there.

The plan was perfect!

In this way, with good expectations, Chen She began to eat his dinner.Authentic thick-cut T-bone, 5 minutes cooked, every bite is chewed in the mouth, as if the teeth are kissing the beef...Pair it with a sip of red wine, and the light of candlelight, the beauty of life can be seen.

However, the phone rang at this time.

With a sound of "Dang", the knife fell to the ground.Chen She looked at his left hand, the knife was in his hand - it belonged to his wife.Her two eyes are staring fiercely at the buzzing mobile phone on the table at the moment, and she has a feeling that she can pick up her fork and stab it at any time, and die with it.

Chen She couldn't be more familiar with this state. Before his wife grabbed the phone and threw it out, he snatched it immediately, and said, "Don't be nervous, what if it's a relative's New Year's greetings."

But after looking at the caller ID, he shut up - what a crow's mouth.

"It's Mr. Wu." Chen She sighed, then stood up resignedly, and walked to the balcony.

About 10 minutes later, Chen She came back. Chen's wife looked at his face and felt a little more at ease: "About the company? Are you in a hurry?"

"Worry," Chen She said the bad news first, and then quickly said the good news before his wife's face changed, "but soon, a few phone calls..."

Said it was a few phone calls, but after Chen's wife finished dinner, the phone calls still didn't finish.Fortunately, Chen's wife can drive. After a brief gesture, Chen She entered the "mobile office" mode in the car.

Wu Xiaoqing's reason for calling him was very simple. There was a temporary project involving both program and language, and the specific standards had already been mailed.

It must be very difficult to find people in China now. It's the New Year's Eve, not to mention finding someone to work overtime temporarily, even if it's a few programmers in the company, it's impossible to pull them out to work like this.

The atmosphere of this festival is here, even if people are found, the heart is not here.

Moreover, the requirements of this project are very high-Chen She hasn't read the email yet, but he knows that Wu Xiaoqing usually doesn't say some extreme adjectives, such as "very high". Didn't say that.

If he was looking for someone in China, Chen She might inevitably have to work overtime, after all, this was within his scope.But if it is a "very high" request, the only thing Chen She can do is to contact the relevant professionals that Qinglan Consulting has consulted before, and then ask them for help to find it for him.

Linguistics and programmers, and related professionals have been invited by the company before. Although today is the first day of the new year, it should be no problem to make a phone call.If you are a foreigner, it will be more convenient.

After 20 minutes, Chen She has basically completed more than half of the work—four or five people have been contacted, and three of them have agreed to come over. Of course, first-class air tickets and five-star hotels are all Qinglan Consulting It's all covered here - after he sent the contact information of these people to Wu Xiaoqing, the work was basically completed.

When I arrived at my hometown in the evening, after entering the hotel, Chen She was still not at ease, and called Wu Xiaoqing to confirm—there should be no problems with the staff, right?

Wu Xiaoqing said that everything is normal, the other party has already started boarding, and the preparation work has also started here-but there is a small problem, that is, the employees' vacation may need to be extended appropriately, because the office may need to be temporarily occupied.

"How long?" Chen She was worried that these employees were thinking about it.

"A week or two," Wu Xiaoqing said, "let them rest assured that their wages will be paid."

The next day, Chen She and his wife acted as mascots as planned. First, they met with their parents, and then went to a few relatives' houses for an exhibition. They gave out countless red envelopes and received a bunch of promising comments.On the way to send their parents to the station, the parents also advised the two to have a baby quickly - give birth early and take back the red envelopes given out.

But why does Chen She still have the thought of having a child now? He spends a whole day here, but he can't help but think about the company in his mind, and what Wu Xiaoqing said, "occupies the company's office".

There is no doubt that the company is starting another project, and the scale is not small.As the general manager, he can't hang around all the time!With such a high salary!

Chen She can bet that if he leaves Qinglan Consulting, with his qualifications, he may not be able to find a job with such treatment in 15 years.

Chen She's worry made his wife see it. After returning to Ningzhou, the wife took the initiative to say that he didn't have to go to her mother's house - the man should still focus on his career.

In the morning of the third day of junior high school, Chen She woke up in the morning, not in the mood to eat breakfast, so she came to Qingtian Building.

Fortunately, nothing seems to have changed much.When parking in the parking lot, looking at the empty parking lot, Chen She thought to herself.

But when the elevator door opened and came to the gate of the company, he knew something was wrong.

The doors of the company were closed—but not from the outside as usual, but from the inside.Chen She tried to swipe the card, but it didn't open. After a while, Wu Xiaoqing walked over from the inside and opened the door for him.

"What? Come to get something?" Wu Xiaoqing asked him.

Chen She looked past Wu Xiaoqing, and saw that the original workstations in the company were already densely packed with people.At a glance, I am afraid that there are more than a few hundred people.At least five or six of the workstations where one person usually sits are surrounded by this time.

In addition to the lobby of the office, there are several other rooms, the offices of Chen She, Wu Xiaoqing, and Shen Changwen, a dedicated conference room, and even the corridor on the company ground... people are everywhere.Most of these people have foreigners' faces, hair colors of all kinds, and they whisper all kinds of languages ​​in their mouths.

The computers used by the employees have been centrally placed in the meeting room, which now looks like an Internet cafe.In addition to the employees' computers, there are also notebooks brought by many people.Even though it was separated by the glass door of the meeting room, the crackling keyboard sound coming from inside was not at all lower than the voices of the hundreds of people outside.

"No, just take a look," Chen She smiled awkwardly, "You won't keep it a secret from me."

"No, think about it," Wu Xiaoqing said, "It's better if you come, they all stayed up all night, order a takeaway, coffee sandwiches are fine, keep it simple. Don't make the company all over the place It's the taste."

Chen She originally wanted to say that the company has coffee machines and snacks, but when he saw that there were at least 100 people in front of him...

Five minutes later, Chen She's cell phone received a call from the coffee shop owner: "Mr. Chen, are you sure it's 5 copies?"

"Okay, hurry up and deliver."

"I'm sorry...the quantity you requested is too large, it may be a little late."

"As soon as possible."

After putting down the phone, Chen She followed Wu Xiaoqing and found a chair in his office.Everyone around is busy, only Wu Xiaoqing and Chen She seem to be more leisurely, Wu Xiaoqing is more concerned about how Chen She orders takeaway: "I called them last night and said they couldn't find so many people to deliver."

"What time did you yell?"

"It's more than six o'clock."

"The results of it?"

"The delivery man took a taxi and brought it to me," Wu Xiaoqing said, pointing to the company's trash can, "They still empty it themselves."

"What kind of project involves so many people? At that time, I only contacted three people for you!"

"I asked the three of them to contact other people for me," Wu Xiaoqing said, "Foreigners have a wide network of contacts, and I can gather so many in one day."

"What are they all here for?"

"translate."

"Translation?" Chen She didn't understand, "Translate what? History of 24?"

"Almost," Wu Xiaoqing said, "translation dictionary."

Wu Xiaoqing is using this metaphor, but it is not.Among the 118 people, 79 are linguistics majors.Nearly 60 of them, Wu Xiaoqing called them over, but actually just asked them to do the topic.

Wu Xiaoqing made simple revisions to that form. He deleted more than 80% of the content, leaving only 20% as a reference for known information-and then let these linguistics professionals, according to this 20%, to translate the remaining 80%.

The purpose of doing this is very simple. It is to test the difference between the civilizations that the people on Earth and Wu Xiaoqing are about to come into contact with—to see the differences in the translations.

The remaining 19 people, who are now in Wu Xiaoqing's office, are really doing linguistic research.

Their job is to find out the language rules of the language in the fourth column based on the correspondence in this table, and then make a general description of the other party's civilization background from a linguistic perspective.This work was used in the task of Ascension to Heaven before, and Wu Xiaoqing felt that the effect was very good, so this time it was carried forward.

Finally, there are the programmers in the conference room...they have the hardest job.
