Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 140 New Year's Day Dinner
Hu Xue originally wanted to have a good rest at home on New Year's Day, but Zhou Wanqiu couldn't stand Zhou Wanqiu's constant struggle on the phone, so she didn't come to the printing factory until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.As soon as she arrived, Wang Yiyuan's dinner party officially began.

Today, the carton factory and the printing factory are both on holiday, so the cafeteria has no fire and is empty, which is just convenient for Wang Yiyuan and the others to cook.

This time the dishes are very rich, in addition to Wang Liping's Northeast cuisine, Zhou Wanqiu's Huaiyang cuisine, Xiao Yunhua also made their famous Hubei steamed pork and other steamed dishes.Wang Yiyuan also cooked, made a fish head with chopped pepper and fried pork, and set a large table full.

Xiao Yunhua did not take his "Taohuaxiang" this time, but contributed two bottles of "Kweichow Moutai", two wines that Hu Xue also brought over.But Li Guanglin didn't think it was enough, so he dug out two bottles of high-quality northeast sorghum wine from his dormitory.

After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, a group of people sat around the table, ready to eat and drink.Wang Liping said, Lao Wang, today is a good day, let's make a toast first.

Wang Yiyuan said with a smile, I have a suggestion. Let's say a few words according to age, from older to younger, and let everyone have a drink. How about it?Everyone followed in unison, agreeing.

Lao Xiao said first.Xiao Yunhua stood up embarrassingly, smiled slightly, and said, I'm old, so let's talk first?How about this, let me say a couplet: I just saw the fat pig's fortune, and I welcome the golden mouse.I mean, I wish you all a happy new year and prosperity together.

Six people touched the first glass.The second speaker was Li Guanglin, who also stood up and said a couplet, saying, Fire trees and silver flowers welcome the golden mouse, and delicacies from mountains and seas are on the jade plate. Congratulations to everyone, good health and great fortune.

The third one is Wang Liping.She picked up the wine glass and said, what Da Li said just now is from my own heart. Congratulations again, everyone, the new year is prosperous and rich.

Next is Zhou Wanqiu.She also stood up, but uncharacteristically, she said coyly, originally, I didn't like to say such nasty or bold words on such occasions, but I am happy today, and I also wish everyone all wishes come true in the New Year, Make a fortune in the New Year.

Next is Wang Yiyuan's turn.He stood up and said, first of all, I would like to thank you brothers and sisters for fighting side by side. You have really worked hard this year.Since they all talk about couplets, let me also add one: at twelve o'clock the mouse is at the head, and spring is at the head all year round.

He then said loudly, I wish that in the new year, let us continue our efforts, drink heavily, eat meat in large bowls, and achieve greater victories.Come, let's have a drink together.

Hu Xue still insisted on not wanting to talk at first, but she couldn’t stand up and said, “I’m sorry, I can only offer flowers to Buddha today, and I wish everyone all wishes come true, good luck and prosperity in the new year.” full.

After a round of wine, a bottle of wine goes down like this.There is air conditioning in the office, everyone's heart is warm from inside to outside, and the atmosphere of drinking slowly rises.Wang Yiyuan toasted to the five people separately, and drank a small cup with each of them.

Wang Liping picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, this glass of wine, I want to respect everyone first, especially Lao Wang and Lao Xiao.But today, because I am happy, before toasting, I also express my feelings, and I want to say a few more words.

The others stopped temporarily without speaking, and each held their glasses of wine to listen to Wang Liping's continuation.

Wang Liping said sincerely, "I, Lao Wang, Lao Xiao, and we have been working together for more than a year and a half. Although we have been a little nervous and busy, to be honest, this is actually the reason why I have been in Shanghai for so many years. The happiest and most comfortable time since.

She continued, really, I think what Lao Wang said just now is right, we are like brothers and sisters.I am very happy and lucky to have met you and have the opportunity to work with you.

Before she finished speaking, Wang Liping pulled up Li Guanglin who was sitting next to her, and then said, "So, I, and our Da Li, must have a big drink with Lao Wang and Lao Xiao today.

The four drank it all in one gulp.Wang Yiyuan lowered his voice, and said slowly and affectionately, in fact, I also want to thank you very much. Without you, there would be no printing factory today. To be honest, I don’t know where I went to work again. .By the way, Li Guanglin, fill it up again, let's have another drink.

Zhou Wanqiu stood up, holding a glass of wine and said, seeing that everyone is happy, I shouldn't have said anything sarcastic.But I still can't help but say it——
Wang Liping interrupted Zhou Wanqiu's words, and said with a smile, Xiao Zhou, we are all very happy today, can't you take the lead in destroying such a great atmosphere?
Zhou Wanqiu said, then I'd better say it.I also want to offer a toast to Lao Wang. They have said all the good things. I wish you a happy life and find a good wife.If you continue to be single like this, we will all look pitiful.

Xiao Zhou, you really don't know which pot to open and which pot to carry.Wang Liping said, everyone knows that the matter you mentioned is not only on the mind of our old Wang, but also on the minds of all of us.On this occasion, you dare to bring it up?Come, come, let me punish myself with three cups.

Three cups of punishment is also fine, the premise is to let Lao Wang also drink three cups, but also——, Zhou Wanqiu was about to go on, only to feel that Hu Xue kicked herself three times hard by the side, so she had to say what she said next. He held back alive.Because Zhou Wanqiu also knew Hu Xue's temper, if it was not done well, it would be really embarrassing.

When he was happy after drinking, Wang Yiyuan took off his coat, turned on the music accompaniment on his mobile phone, knocked on the side of the bowl, and impromptuly played a short piece of Suzhou Pingtan.After Xiao Yunhua and the others listened to it, they felt that it was not enough, so they tried their best to encourage Wang Yiyuan to sing a part of the Flower Drum Opera "Fixing the Pot" in their hometown in Hunan.

Pull the bellows, whirring

The stove is burning red

The son-in-law came to mend the pot, but he didn't tell the mother-in-law

Pay attention to the operation, beware of hand burns
It doesn't matter if your hands are burned, I'm afraid
Convince my mother, Xiao Cong, my comrade brother

Don't be afraid of mountains when running a horse, and don't be afraid of beaches when sailing a boat
Help my mama reinvent that old thinking
The bellows are blowing, the stove is burning brightly

I pull the bellows, I fill the pot

Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull

Everyone cheered and applauded together, came and went to and from each other, and continued to drink and eat.

Wang Yiyuan is really happy these days, first of all because it is the new year's day again, the beginning of the new year, and because of the harvest at the Qipu Road Market Conference a few days ago.The second thing to be happy about is that the matter of Siya daily chemical cartons has finally been implemented.

According to the prices on Zhu Yuhong's list later, Wang Yiyuan, Wang Liping, and Xiao Yunhuazai calculated carefully, and they should be quite satisfied.The key point is that these cartons are basically long-term orders. Although the so-called steady flow of water will not make you rich overnight, for the factory's carton production line, coupled with the original business, you can also have a basic production guarantee.

There is one more thing, which is also a good thing. Before Wang Yiyuan had time to tell Wang Liping and the others, just after New Year's Day, Mr. Wu of the real estate company invited them to consult with the company to do a preliminary investigation and feasibility study for the development of a new Pudong project. .

Wang Yiyuan's idea, taking this opportunity, must find a way to get at least part of the printing business related to Mr. Wu's real estate company.

It was also because I was happy that I couldn't help but drink more.Hu Xue and Zhou Wanqiu wanted to leave first, saying they were going to watch the fireworks at night on the Bund.Wang Yiyuan originally wanted to ask a black car to take the two of them, but Hu Xue resolutely refused, saying that he would go to Wujing and take the bus back.

Hu Xue, wait, I'll see you off.Wang Yiyuan took the clothes and put them on, smiled, and said, today is full of wine and food, so I can just go out for exercise and run to digest.

Wang Yiyuan turned to Xiao Yunhua and said, Old Xiao, how about we go together?Xiao Yunhua nodded and agreed.He said while putting on his clothes, Li Guanglin, you two don't need to clean up for now, when Lao Wang and I come back, let's continue drinking.
