Reborn since 2005

Chapter 290 That Tree Is My World

Yan Xin and Chen Li chatted for more than half an hour, but they didn't talk about anything.

Sometimes chatting is not to solve any problems, but simply to vent the depression in my heart.

He talked naggingly for more than half an hour, making Liang Wei useless, and finally told Yan Xin that Liang Wei came to see him, and said that he was going to an ancient town for a visit, and there was no time to chat, so we can talk later .

This way of ending the chat left Yan Xin in a daze.

He doesn't know if Liang Wei's mentality has changed since she became clear about writing the novel, because he has never seen it.

But he can be sure that Chen Li's mentality has changed a lot.

Originally, I wanted to persuade him to calm down, but after thinking about it later, I gave up such an idea.

My emotional life is not so smooth, and there are still many entanglements, so don't be a mentor to others.

It is not certain who is more transparent than the other.

I also chatted with Ai Lili, and shared with Ai Lili her life after returning home. Ai Lili once again expressed her regret that she could not go to his hometown.

Yan Xin originally wanted to invite her to come over in May. At that time, the loquats, peaches, and plums at home are all ripe. If you stay for half a month, you can eat them for half a month.

But after thinking about it, the college entrance examination hadn't even started at that time. If Feng Xi knew that he brought a young and beautiful girl home, I'm afraid he would understand what was going on. Maybe it would affect her college entrance examination and delay her. her.

Thinking of this, I didn't send out such an invitation, but just told her that I would have a chance to come over in the future.

This afternoon, I also chatted with Feng Xi, mainly about work matters. Today is the last day of work for their online store before the Lunar New Year, and they have to finish counting all the things that need to be counted.

Feng Xi also sent some data to Yan Xin.

In addition, it also talked about how much red envelopes to give to each employee and how many year-end bonuses to give.

I also said where to go to tomorrow's dinner party and when it will start.

The place to go has been decided in advance, and the dinner time is not at night but at noon. This is also to ask for the opinions of the employees. They all hope to go home earlier. If they eat at night, for those who do not live in the county , There is no way to go home after eating.

In the end, we can only choose at noon.

Yan Xin also didn't want to choose the time until the evening, and he felt quite unsafe to drive home at that time.

The roads in the country are full of potholes. Every time he drives past, he is very careful, for fear of accidentally overturning the car.

This is true during the day, let alone at night.

Living in the countryside is so inconvenient, especially when the roads are not repaired, it is even more inconvenient.

Eating at noon is best for him.

In this way, while inspecting the website and chatting on QQ, an afternoon passed.

After four o'clock, Yan Xin went downstairs to cook with his father. By the way, he also said that he had something to do in the county tomorrow and would not eat at home at noon.

He didn't say what he was going to do in the county, so his father understood that he was going to meet Xiao Shiyu whom he met yesterday.

This is also understandable.

After all, in his mind, these two people were talking about someone.

Finally, it was the Chinese New Year holiday, and we all returned home. If we had the opportunity to meet each other, we would naturally want to meet more times.

He didn't say anything, just told him to be careful when driving.

On the second day, after Yan Xin got up, he felt that the temperature was a little low. When he went out to see, it was a cloudy day, and it looked like it was going to rain.

But it's almost the rainy season, and the weather is much warmer than last year's Chinese New Year. Although it feels a little cold, it won't snow.

If it snows, Yan Xin has to think carefully about whether to go there to have that meal.

The road was slippery on a snowy day, and he wasn't sure if something would happen.

After eating breakfast in a leisurely manner, it was around ten o'clock before I changed into a suit of clothes and set off by car.

When he left, he told his dad that he didn't need to prepare dinner for the evening, and would bring some food over in the evening.

When we set off, there was already rain in the sky, but the rain was not heavy.

Carefully driving all the way, went directly to the restaurant Feng Xi mentioned, parked the car outside, entered the lobby, and saw Feng Xi waiting there.

Next to him was Director Chen of the Nishang Yuyi Online Store, who was holding a bag in his hand.

Feng Xi saw Yan Xin coming, said hello, and took him to the third floor.

While walking, he also said to him: "The red envelope and the year-end bonus are put in this bag. Later, I will give the red envelope and you will give the year-end bonus."

Yan Xin nodded and hummed.

The online shop pays wages not through bank transfers, but directly in cash, and the same is true for the red envelopes and year-end bonuses.

Feng Xi thought about registering a company in the future and paying her salary directly through the bank, but now she doesn't have the time to do such a thing, and she will have the energy to do it after she finishes her college entrance examination.

There are more than a dozen employees, the red envelopes and year-end bonuses add up to a hundred thousand, all of which are put in the bag that Manager Chen brought up. The money she just took out yesterday has been sorted out now.

The red envelope belongs to the red envelope, and the year-end bonus belongs to the year-end bonus.

The size of the red envelope is the same, but the year-end bonus is different. Based on the time of entry, position and past performance, the difference between the highest and the lowest is one or two thousand.

Which part of the money belongs to which employee is indicated.

In the gap between going upstairs, Feng Xi and Yan Xin confessed these few words, and then the elevator reached the third floor.

They booked a box on the third floor, and those employees were waiting in the box. When they passed by, those employees were eating snacks and chatting.

Seeing the two bosses coming over, the employees all stood up and said hello.

Then, Yan Xin and Feng Xi gave out red envelopes and year-end bonuses to the other.

Every time you give an employee, you have to say thank you for your hard work, thank them for their hard work, and wish them a happy new year and smooth sailing in their careers next year.

Sending money is the thing that makes employees the happiest.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone warmly congratulated the boss and his wife for getting rich.

Hearing such blessings, Feng Xi smiled happily.

Although Yan Xin felt a little awkward, in such an atmosphere, it was hard to correct anything, so he could only accept it.

After sending the money, call the waiter to serve the food.

Today's dinner has the meaning of New Year's Eve dinner, which is equivalent to the New Year's Eve dinner in the online store, so it is much richer than last time.

Before the food was served, the wine was already served.

Bringing your own alcohol is not allowed here, and they don't lack the money, so they won't bring their own alcohol.

The wine ordered here includes beer, red wine, and white wine.

There are also drinks.

When the wine was served, Yan Xin said: "I drove here today, and I have to drive back later, so I can't drink, I can only have some drinks, please don't take offense."

Feng Xi also explained beside him: "Our family is in the countryside. You have dozens of miles of road here, and there is a section of the road that is still a dirt road. It is very difficult to walk. It is very dangerous to drive after drinking."

Both bosses said so, so no one persuaded Yan Xin to drink.

When someone wants to clink glasses, Yan Xin just uses orange juice instead.

Feng Xi sat next to Yan Xin.

She usually manages several online stores, but today she didn't say much and gave Yan Xin the opportunity to speak.

This is obviously to enhance Yan Xin's sense of presence in front of these employees and let them know that this is the big boss.

In fact, the shares of the two people are the same, but when Feng Xi introduced Yan Xin to the employees, she would say that Yan Xin was the investor and she was just a part-time worker.

Yan Xin didn't know about such a thing, but he also knew that Feng Xi was like this today, leaving the opportunity to perform to himself, and he was very grateful.

Although he himself is completely at ease with Feng Xi and does not need this sense of presence, but this is also Feng Xi's kindness.

For this kindness, he also has to be grateful.

This time, the dishes ordered were richer, and the tastes of all the employees were taken into consideration. Every employee participated in the ordering process. It was not the kind of dishes that were just for the sake of looking good, so as not to spend money, and then everyone was not full.

Everyone ate very happily.

Yan Xin also felt that these dishes tasted good, so he whispered to Feng Xi: "I can't finish eating so many dishes, so let everyone pack and take some back home, and you can bring some too."

Feng Xi looked at him, nodded with a smile, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you thinking of packing and taking some back to your dad?"

Yan Xin replied: "It does mean that, as you know, people of the older generation are more frugal, and have never eaten anything delicious. I would definitely not be happy to invite him out here for a meal. If you can’t eat it, pack it up and take some back home, that’s saving money, so he can eat well.”

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Then you take some back."

He asked again: "You know your dad's taste better, which of these dishes do you think he likes more, and I will order two more for him to take back later."

"I don't know either," Yan Xin smiled wryly, "He probably hasn't eaten any of the above dishes."

Feng Xi was silent for a while, then said: "Then take a little of everything home, and order two more expensive ones. Anyway, you came here by car, so there will be space to pack a few extra lunch boxes."

"Then do you want to order two more to take home?" Yan Xin asked.

Feng Xi shook her head: "I'll forget it, I won't take it home, otherwise it won't be easy to explain to my family."

"Let's just have dinner with my classmates, the last meal of this year." Yan Xin said.

Feng Xi still shook her head: "Forget it. If they think that I have a good dinner with my classmates, I will not have a peaceful year."

He smiled and glanced at Yan Xin again: "Why do you care whether they have eaten delicious food? They are nothing like you."

Yan Xin thought about it too—why should I care about this?Wasn't he tortured enough by them in his previous life?
Thinking about it this way, I didn't say anything more.

When the two of them spoke, their voices were very low, and no one else could hear what they were saying.

The atmosphere at the banquet was quite lively, those employees had already started to drink the right wine, or chatted loudly, and didn't pay attention to what the two bosses were talking about.

Just looking at the way they tilted their heads and whispering, they felt that this was a young couple, and had no other thoughts.

Some of those employees drank white, some drank red, and the atmosphere became more and more exciting.

Feng Xi only drank some beer, but not too much.

A glass of beer was poured into the glass, and when someone came to toast, she took a sip.

But there were quite a lot of people toasting, and every employee came over to toast her, and more than once.

I drank it one mouthful at a time, and finally drank more than a bottle of beer, and my face turned red.

But not drunk.

In such a situation, Yan Xin could only sigh with emotion. Everyone he met was good at drinking, but he couldn't.

There were also people who toasted him, but he just substituted orange juice, drank a lot of orange juice, and went to the bathroom once.

When the meal was almost finished, Feng Xi called the waiter again, ordered two more dishes, and explained that they were to be packed and taken away, and asked the waiter to prepare more lunch boxes. The same goes for drinks.

They originally ordered a lot of food, but everyone let go of eating, and they only ate half of it, and there was quite a lot left, so it was a waste to throw it here like this.

Feng Xi also suggested that everyone bring some food back home.

But she also explained the two new dishes, which were brought back for Yan Xin's father.

When the boss spends money, the boss takes it away. It is a matter of course, and no one will question it.

In the eyes of the employees, her behavior is to honor her future father-in-law for her daughter-in-law.

In the end, all the dishes were packaged. Yan Xin not only added two new dishes to the package, but also added some of the other dishes to each serving.

The rest were taken away by the employees, including unfinished drinks.

Even the beer and unfinished orange juice were taken home by the staff.

A meal plus drinks cost more than 1 yuan, which is considered a top-level banquet in this small county.

Feng Xi and Yan Xin went downstairs with a few food boxes alone, only to find that it was raining heavily when they got outside.

Fortunately, Yan Xin drove here, so there was no big problem.

After getting in the car, Feng Xi asked Yan Xin: "Do you want to go back to our dormitory to have a rest first, and then drive back later?"

She looked at Yan Xin with anticipation in her eyes.

After eating this meal, the employees of the online store will go home to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

There will be no one else in that dormitory.

This is a rare opportunity to get along.

Yan Xin glanced at her, then looked away, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, it's raining, it's inconvenient, it's better to go home earlier."

Feng Xi was silent for a while, then said: "That's fine, it's fine to go back earlier."

After the car started, Yan Xin also turned on the air conditioner in the car, which was quite warm.

He also turned on the stereo and played the record released by his company.

This Mercedes-Benz broke through the rain and drove on the street, and the sound of music spread out.

This time it was "Fireworks Are Cold" sung by Gu Ru.

Feng Xi sat in the co-pilot seat, next to Yan Xin, and after listening for a while, he heard the song "It's raining heavily, and the old hometown is full of vegetation. I heard that you are always alone. The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots, stone slabs What echoes above is to wait..." During this period, I don't know what I thought of, and my eyes suddenly became moist.

Suddenly he said to Yan Xin: "The lyrics are really well written..."

Yan Xin himself liked this song very much. At first he wanted to say "it is really well written", but suddenly he realized that this is a song he copied. In this time and space, this song is his own original creation, so there is no way I boasted myself, so I could only say modestly:
"It's okay, I'm quite satisfied with it."

Feng Xi asked, "When you wrote this song, what were you thinking about?"

Yan Xin thought to himself: "When I copied this song, what I thought about was how much profit copying this song could bring me."

This is the real answer, but there is no way to say this answer.

After hesitating for a while, he said: "I don't have anything to think about, I just want to express my sorrow for the new words."

Feng Xi let out a sigh, and said: "I thought that when you wrote this song, you were thinking of a certain woman who was waiting for her lover to come back, but she never waited for that person to come back. A picture of aging in solitude."

Yan Xin suddenly remembered the dreams he had in that dormitory a few days ago, one of which was Feng Xi dying alone.

My heart ached for no reason.

Feng Xi asked again: "Yan Xin, do you really believe that there will be such a woman in this world? You know that a person will not come back, but you are still waiting there foolishly?"

Yan Xin didn't dare to look into her eyes, and shook his head: "I don't know if there is."

"I think there is," Feng Xi said, "If it were me, if I liked someone, I would be like that, waiting for that person to come back for the rest of my life. Even if he is no longer in this world, I would still wait for him to come back .”

Yan Xin was a little guilty, forced a laugh, and said, "What if he empathizes with someone else?"

Feng Xi thought for a while, and said: "I will still wait, I believe that one day he will understand that I am the one who loves him the most in this world..."

"You are stupid!" Yan Xin said, "You think this is a love that touches heaven and earth, but in fact it only touches yourself. This is torturing yourself and others-of course, it may not be able to torture It hurts others, but it must be torturing yourself."

"Torture yourself, torture yourself, I don't care." Feng Xi said.

"There are so many good men in the world, why do they have to hang from a tree?" Yan Xin scolded.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because that tree is my whole world..."
