New Year's Eve.
The Xiao family villa was very busy because there were too many guests. In addition to the dining table in the dining room that could accommodate ten people, Jessica also arranged a dining table for twenty people in the huge living room. The villa was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and was very noisy with laughter and laughter.
The giant cannon and the monkeys came back from Africa.
Monkey also brought a hot blonde girl with him, and upon asking, she turned out to be Ma Yingjun's fellow villager.
"Seriously?" On the balcony, Xiao Zheng was holding a red wine glass and took a sip.
Monkey chuckled twice and looked at the blonde who was whispering to his four-eyed girlfriend: "It should be almost done."
Ma Yingjun, who was sitting aside, said quietly: "A group of guys without foresight. The dense forest is right ahead, why bother paying attention to the saplings under your feet?"
The dull giant patted Ma Yingjun: "Talk too much.
"
Everyone laughed.
Since they started working separately, the opportunities for the team to get together have become less and less. Xiao is busy with Xinao's strategic guidance, and Big Cannon Monkey is also leading the mercenary association to unexpected heights step by step. Even Si Yan and Ma Yingjun have gradually adapted to their current life and even enjoyed it.
Looking back at the lively living room downstairs, those men and women came together because of Xiao Zheng's existence. They may contribute to Xinao, or they may fight for their own lives. But no matter what, Xiao Zheng wished them smooth sailing.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, men and women gather together to set off fireworks. The sky explodes with fireworks, just like daylight.
Holding a glass of red wine, Xiao Zheng stood leaning against the door with a calm smile on his face. His eyes swept over the familiar faces.
From being an orphan to having such a big family now, this is a life that Xiao Zheng has never imagined. But now, it was all happening before his eyes. Some are illusory, as beautiful as fireworks, but not quite real.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Huayin's gentle voice sounded in his ears. She held a woolen coat in her hand and draped it on Xiao Zheng's shoulders.
"The weather forecast says it will cool down tonight, so don't catch a cold."
Xiao Zheng gently held Lao Lin's hand and said with a smile, "Is it too noisy?"
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said, "It's not bad."
Everyone knew that Lao Lin didn't like to make noise, so even on New Year's Eve, she tried to keep herself in a quiet environment as much as possible. But tonight, more than twenty guests came to the Xiao family. There were men, women, and children. Even though Jessica's skills in serving people are extremely profound, she is still a little busy.
Xiao Zheng tightened Lao Lin's palm and said softly: "Going to set off fireworks?"
"Yeah." Lin Huayin nodded and rushed to the crowd with Xiao Zheng.
…
Perhaps most adults feel that the flavor of the new year is getting weaker every year. But for Xiao Zheng, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger year by year.
When I was in the orphanage, the so-called Spring Festival was just a few more pieces of meat in the bowl and the lights in the dormitory were turned off later. When you get up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can get a red envelope that is so small that it has no purchasing power.
But Xiao Zheng knew that this was all the old dean could offer.
No orphan will miss the life in the orphanage, even though they feel some emotion and reluctance from deep in their hearts. But no one wants to go back to orphanage life.
Xiao Zheng is no exception.
The older I get, the more my origins in the orphanage seem like a thorn in my side.
This means that he has no father or mother, no relatives, no identity, and no idea of the year and month he was born, or his place of origin.
His birthday was still the day decided by the old dean.
Now, he has more friends and relatives who are not related by blood.
And the child in Lao Lin's belly.
A child with the surname Xiao wants to be called Xiao Zheng's father.
Thirty-year-old Xiao Zheng looks back on his past and always has a lot of troubles and annoyances. But with this child, he doesn't care about anything anymore.
The Xiao family has a heir.
…
On New Year's Day, Xiao Zheng accompanied Lao Lin to Ye Mansion. This has been a habit developed in recent years, a bit similar to returning to my parents' home.
As soon as he entered the gate of Ye Mansion, Xiao Zheng saw his mother-in-law, whom he had not seen for a while.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Zheng came to Ye Yuhua with a gift and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, did you set off the fireworks last night?"
Ye Yuhua smiled softly and said, "Mother-in-law is old and is no longer suitable to do the things you young people do."
After a pause, she took Xiao Zheng's hand and said, "Go inside and sit down. It's windy outside."
The family arrived in the living room, where Ye Zanghua was drinking tea, eating snacks, and watching reruns of the Spring Festival Gala. Tang Yue was busy preparing lunch.
Seeing Xiao Zheng and his entourage coming over, Ye Zanghua jumped down from the sofa and said with a smile: "Dad, come and watch the show with my uncle."
Lin Huayin glanced sideways at Ye Zanghua and walked into the kitchen to help.
Ye Zanghua was not angry after being rejected, and turned to Xiao Zheng. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he said, "Azheng, are you fine these days?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at Ye Zanghua warily: "What are you doing?"
"Don't be nervous." Ye Zanghua slapped Xiao Zheng and said a little unhappy. "Can I still harm you?"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "I will not commit any crime."
Ye Zanghua rolled her eyes: "It sounds like you are serious."
After a pause, Ye Zanghua continued: "I have discussed this matter with your mother-in-law. We have done something about it."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you invest in a security company?" Ye Zanghua asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded and took a sip of tea.
"There are more and more wealthy people in China now. The market demand for bodyguards is also great. But so far, we in China don't have a security company with a sound system like foreign countries. The one you set up as a shareholder will have enough scale and funds. There is no shortage. As long as we gather our network resources together, I believe we can achieve results." Ye Zanghua glanced sideways at Xiao Zheng. "You just started such a company without saying a word, and you didn't even mention taking care of my uncle. Why, are you afraid that I will steal the cake from you?"
What he said before was quite serious, but he returned to his true nature at the end. Xiao Zheng was speechless and laughed.
But to be honest, although Shen Manjun's security company is running a great business, it has reached the world's first-class level in terms of professionalism and execution ability. But when it comes to human resources, it still lacks some firepower. Even if Xiao Zheng would provide some resources from time to time. It is also difficult for security companies to make a name for themselves in the industry.
In the final analysis, Xiao Zheng's foundation is too shallow and his background is not enough.
If Ye Gongguan stepped forward to guide this matter, the security company would have unimaginable resources and environment. Believe that you can take a big step into the superstructure's vision.
Political and military leaders have a dedicated team responsible for security issues. Big bosses in the business world don't get this kind of treatment. So as China's economy takes off. The demand for high-end elite bodyguards will explode.
