I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 438 Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new
During the days approaching New Year's Eve, Zhang Yang treated himself as a holiday.

He goes to and from work at a certain time every day, staying at Ziyuan No. 1 or the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel which he owns. From time to time, he takes his girlfriend with him to go camping and picnicking on a farm in the suburbs.

As for the days, the years are peaceful and quiet, with a rare sense of tranquility and comfort.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yang drove to the countryside early to pick up two elderly people to come up and celebrate the New Year.

In a new rural villa decorated in Chinese style, Grandpa Zhang Yang, with a ruddy complexion and a loud voice, was wearing Tai Chi clothes and practicing Tai Chi in the yard.

Grandma Zhang Yang was lying on a Hainan Huanghuali recliner basking in the sun.

At my feet, a tabby cat that I didn't know who I was adopting from was lying lazily on the ground, dozing off from time to time.

"Oh, Zhang Yang is here." When Zhang Yang's grandmother saw the person coming, she smiled and sat up quickly.

The tabby cat was also stunned. It got up from the ground, walked forward and circled around Zhang Yang, as if it sensed the difference in the person in front of it.

"What a fat cat." Zhang Yang took a look and said, "Go, take a walk to lose some weight."

The tabby cat trembled all over and ran away for a walk obediently.

"Huh?" The old man came over in surprise. "This cat doesn't listen to anyone else, but you? It seems that it still recognizes people, family members."

Zhang Yang smiled.

Not to mention cats, even a lion would have to be ridden obediently. Animals have natural sensing abilities that far exceed those of humans.

"Grandpa, let's go and take you home to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay, let's go." The old man nodded and told Zhang Yang's grandmother to get ready to leave.

A moment later, Zhang Yang was driving two elderly people on the bus to Yinghai city. He listened to them talking about family matters all the way. Instead of feeling that they were nagging, he enjoyed it.

"The girl who renovated our house often came over to supervise the work, inside and out. She really took great care of it." The old man mentioned. "Just think about it, it's not easy for her to come over. She came at least two or three times a week during that period."

"By the way, people come to give gifts during the New Year, which makes me feel embarrassed." Zhang Yang's grandmother also said.

Zhang Yang listened to what he said and kept it in mind.

The little girl that the grandparents were talking about was naturally no one else but designer Kobayashi.

Lin Jingmin has always been concerned about Zhang Yang's affairs.

"Of course I'll have to give you a red envelope in return." Zhang Yang said to himself.

Later in the evening, the car arrived at Yinghai City and then headed straight to Ziyuan No. 1.

In the garage, there are Bentleys and two Maybachs lined up in a row, one of which is a Maybach Pullman worth tens of millions.

Including Zhang Yang’s Cullinan.

Luxury cars worth tens of millions.

To be honest, this scene is unique, not only in the Ziyuan No. 1 villa area, but also in Yinghai.

Anyone who sees this would praise this wealthy family.
After a while, inside the villa.

The two old people walked around the house, looked at the flowers and plants, and chatted with their son and daughter-in-law about family matters.

Zhang Yang looked at the holiday gifts piled up like a small mountain at the foot of the wall and couldn't help laughing.

The saying that if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives is not just a saying. Since my family has become rich, the family has become more and more lively during festivals.

All kinds of relatives, friends, business partners, and even neighbors... To put it a little inappropriately, what is the purpose? Isn't it to cling to the rich and powerful...

Zhang Yang's wealth was too far away for these people. They could not touch it, nor did they know it. But what they saw before their eyes... tens of millions of houses, tens of millions of cars, seven or eight shops that made a fortune every day...

These are all real things right in front of us.

"It's only today that the gift-giving has calmed down a bit." Zhang Zhaohai came over, shook his head and sighed, "The door has been almost broken down recently... I should keep a low profile."

"I guess Dad, you've been driving that Pullman a lot recently, right?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Zhaohai immediately smiled shyly and admitted it embarrassedly.

Because it’s a Pullman! A real boss car!
As a restaurant owner, he could not resist such temptation, so as soon as he got the car, he could not help but drive it.

The streets were filled with the legend of Boss Zhang and his Pullman.

"It's okay, just be happy if you want to." Zhang Yang smiled. "There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position."

Although being low-key is the way to go, being high-key is the original sin and the source of trouble.

But, my father Zhang Zhaohai had just become rich and was full of energy and ambition. Why should he force himself to keep a low profile?

If you want to show off, then show off.

"I'm afraid of being hated by others." Song Wenqin walked over and said, "You know the example of people pushing down when the wall falls. Some people are very respectful to you when they are prosperous, but once you lose your power, these people are the first to jump out."

"Lose power?" Zhang Yang laughed.

Do you really think that they are rootless and will become rich overnight?

In terms of wealth, he is as deep as the sea; in terms of means, he is all-powerful and can change the situation in a moment; in terms of network of relationships, he is well-known in Beijing and Shanghai and has long established his own school.

At this moment, he is more than just a big tree, he is clearly an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

"Why... people should still have a sense of awe." Song Wenqin looked at her son's indifferent expression and said, "Don't learn from your father."

"I know, Mom." Zhang Yang nodded without arguing.

The topic ended here. Zhang Zhaohai took the initiative to hand over the Pullman car keys and promised to keep a low profile for a while after the New Year.

"After the New Year, I'll drive the Cayenne for a while."

The Cayenne was parked at the old house and hadn't been driven for a long time.

Yes, for Zhang Zhaohai now, driving a Cayenne when traveling is already considered to be the most low-key among the low-key.

That's what he thought.

Song Wenqin also thinks so.

Whether his parents are low-key or high-profile, Zhang Yang will naturally not interfere.

He just walked away alone, took out his cell phone, opened Lin Jingmin's chat box, and then sent a New Year's red envelope.

"Wow!" The chat box jumped happily. "Thank you, boss, for the red envelope."

"Thank you for taking care of the house at my grandfather's side. I heard from him that you also went to give gifts?" Zhang Yang sent a message.

"Of course I should. I've been in contact with my grandparents for a while and I feel they are very kind. I'm the younger generation, so it's natural for me to show my gratitude during the New Year." Lin Jingmin explained, "It's not a very expensive thing."

"You're thoughtful... By the way, I heard you say that you've always wanted to start your own studio?"

"Yes, I have thought about it."

"If you have any difficulties or are short of money, tell me, don't hide it." Zhang Yang said, "I will lend you a hand then."

He remembered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the system gave him a task to send gift boxes to the opposite sex whose favorability was above 90.

Lin Jingmin is one of them.

Lin Jingmin also contributed to the BUFF of Haiqin Restaurant, so if she needed help, Zhang Yang would help her without hesitation.

"With your words, Boss Zhang, I feel relieved."

Zhang Yang held his phone and chatted with Lin Jingmin in text and voice messages, then they started a video chat for a while.

If it wasn't New Year's Eve and everyone was busy, Designer Kobayashi would probably have come directly here.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yang put down his phone, and the familiar aroma of rice and vegetables filled his nose. Looking back, Song Wenqin was waving at him to go eat.

The atmosphere of the New Year suddenly came up.

·
It's New Year's Eve again.

In the villa area, every house is brightly lit. In the dark night, the sounds of children playing and the twinkling lights of fireworks can be heard from time to time.

The flavor of the New Year is roughly equivalent to the smell of gunpowder left after the burning of fireworks.

Inside the Zhang family villa,
The large round stone table was filled with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, as well as home-cooked specialties. On the big TV, special programs for the Spring Festival were played non-stop.

A family of five sat together at the table, with their glasses filled with good wine, and began their New Year's Eve dinner.

"Another busy year." Zhang Zhaohai raised his glass, "Come on, let's toast to our whole family. I wish our family a happy and harmonious reunion in the new year."

Ever since my family became wealthy, auspicious words like "get rich" and so on are said less and less.

Good wishes are blessings for things that have not happened. They are a yearning and hope for a better life. There is no need to elaborate on what you already have, or will have more in the future.

And blessings naturally return to the most simple wishes.

I wish you a happy family and healthy and happy family members.

Outside the villa, the sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly from far and near.

The TV in the living room is filled with various welcoming activities from all over the country, accompanied by a warm atmosphere.

Zhang Yang raised his glass and toasted with his family.

As the glasses were clinking, the light shone on the still young faces of my parents, as well as on the faces of two elderly people standing nearby with smiles on their faces, looking extremely energetic.

Zhang Yang was drinking and listening to the laughter around him. Suddenly, he wanted time to stay at this moment forever.

However, time keeps running and the new year arrives as promised.

But let’s say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year.

happy New Year.

·
On the morning of the first day of the new year, businessmen, who have been busy for a whole year, usually choose to sleep in until noon and start paying New Year's greetings on the second day.

However, Zhang Yang's family still maintains their original habits.

Stay up all night on New Year's Eve, get up early in the morning to set off firecrackers and welcome the morning of the first day of the new year.

Early in the morning, breakfast on the table is glutinous rice balls, which symbolize reunion.

Zhang Yang was eating glutinous rice balls while watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala. The mobile phone at hand kept receiving messages, and the messages were almost continuous without interruption.

As for New Year's greetings calls, there are also some rules to follow.

People with insufficient status would at most send a message, not call to wish a happy new year. Only those who are truly qualified would call.

Therefore, Zhang Yang just took a look at the information.

Instead, he would answer calls from his direct subordinates, close friends in the circle, and various heavyweights, and wish each other a happy New Year and celebrate the arrival of the new year.

The two old men were wearing Tang suits and looked very energetic as they walked over.

Zhang Yang naturally put down his phone and wished the two elders a happy new year immediately.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the family happily ate breakfast together at the table.

After breakfast, it’s natural to set out to pay New Year’s greetings.

Zhang Zhaohai and his wife didn't drive either of their cars. They got into Zhang Yang's Cullinan and headed straight to their grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the sun was shining brightly. All the shops on the street were closed, but fireworks and firecrackers with blue smoke rising from them were still left in the open space in front of the shops.

At the gate of my grandmother's house, the incense stick was half burned, and laughter could be faintly heard from the yard.

The sound of car horns.

Cullinan slowly stopped at the door.

All the relatives in the yard looked up and stood up to greet him.

"I'm coming!"

"Boss Zhang is here..."

Everyone joked and walked over to the car to greet them.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin got out of the car together. The couple were dressed in high-end clothes and exuded an air of wealth.

Zhang Yang parked the car and got out.

Just when I was about to pass around some cigarettes, I saw a young man coming up to me and passing around some cigarettes first.

"Come on... let me introduce you..." Second Aunt came up and introduced her with a smile. "This is the new member of our family..."

"Hello everyone." The young man greeted with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yang suddenly realized.

It turns out that this person is my second aunt’s future son-in-law.

Zhang Zhaohai and his wife nodded in a very friendly manner and said a few nice words, which were nothing more than words like "the young man is very handsome and talented". Second Aunt was very happy and her face was full of smiles.

"Come here, Pengfei, this is my nephew Zhang Yang. You are of the same age, so get close to him." The second aunt solemnly brought her future son-in-law to meet Zhang Yang.

"Hello, hello." The young man quickly extended his hand to greet.

Zhang Yang nodded and smiled at him as a greeting.

"Zhang Yang, if you have any good opportunities in the future, please take good care of our Pengfei." Second Aunt said nicely.

"No problem, Second Aunt." Zhang Yang said politely with a smile.

He looked around and walked towards his grandmother to wish her a happy new year, and happened to see his uncle and his wife who were hiding.

Of course, there was also my little cousin Song Yumeng who came up to say hello in a very friendly manner.

"Brother, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Zhang Yang touched his cousin's head, then looked at his uncle and his wife, "Uncle, aunt, you too."

"Ahem... hello, hello." My uncle greeted awkwardly. "Zhang Yang... My uncle's restaurant basically didn't make any money this year. I owe you the money, Huanhuan, Huanhuan, I will definitely find a way to pay you back."

My aunt-in-law suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.

"You say... It's really inexplicable. In the past, when your father worked in our restaurant, the business was not very good. How come every restaurant your family opened is so popular?"

"Aunt, my family is planning to open two more restaurants in the first half of this year. One of them seems to be near your restaurant." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Please show some mercy when the time comes. We should live in harmony."

As soon as these words were spoken, my aunt-in-law's face turned pale.

"What!" She almost cried out in shock, "How can you... why not drive to our neighborhood?"

With the booming business of Haiqin Restaurant, if it were to open near my home, how would I survive?

For a moment, she was stunned.

"Mom...it's up to my aunt to open a restaurant wherever she wants. Isn't fair competition good?" Song Yumeng pulled her mother's arm. "There's no need for our family to be so stingy, right?"
