Chapter 701: 32 Things to Celebrate the New Year
"The world is changing so fast that even science fiction things like body strengthening potions have emerged."
"I don't know what the effect will be after the injection. Can I reach the strength of the captain of the Ugly Country? Even if I can reach one-third or one-quarter of his strength, it will be incredible."
"Guess how much this body strengthening potion costs?"
"If it is mass-produced and put on the market, the price will be only 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. If it is more expensive, sales will not increase."
"The captain of the Ugly Country in the comics is an old guy who is 180 years old, but he still looks young. If this body strengthening potion can also prolong life and maintain youth, it will be sold out in an instant if it is sold for 100 million."
"It would be great if I could win the lottery, at least I could save hundreds of thousands."
On the stage, the lottery started quickly, and the names and work numbers in the three option boxes flashed and changed rapidly. Two minutes later, Lu Wanfeng pressed the red button, and the list of winners froze.
"The winners of the special prize are Qin Xiaohao, employee number 113587, Yao Shuang, employee number 012237, and Gao Qingxuan, employee number 783312. Congratulations to the three lucky winners! Since body-strengthening drugs are currently controlled drugs and are prohibited from being circulated on the market, the winners need to go to the Ruida Group headquarters in person to receive the on-site injection. The specific time will be confirmed after the Chinese New Year."
After the last lucky draw, Lu Wanfeng left the stage, and the annual meeting was drawing to a close. After another four programs, the two hosts came on stage again and announced the official end of the annual meeting.
The annual meeting started at 8pm and lasted for nearly four hours. It was already midnight when it ended. Employees left the venue one after another, took their own transportation, left the Bird's Nest, and dispersed to various areas in Beijing.
Some people noticed that Qiao Ruida, the chairman of Ruida Group, did not appear at the annual meeting. You should know that in the previous annual meetings, the special prize of the lottery was drawn by Qiao Ruida, but this year, the special prize was drawn by the general manager of a branch company. Qiao Ruida's wife Du Qingqing also did not appear at the annual meeting. So where did the couple go? Of course, they stayed at home to take care of the baby. Oh, no, it was Du Qingqing who took care of the baby and Qiao Ruida accompanied her.
Du Qingqing exited the live broadcast room, took off the brain-computer interface device on her head, used her fingers to tidy up her messy hair, and asked Qiao Ruida who was sitting next to her: "Husband, is that body strengthening potion real? Can it prolong life and keep us young forever?"
"They're all up for grabs, so of course they're real. As for the effectiveness of using it, it varies according to each person's age, genetic defects, and physical condition. On average, strength is increased by two to ten times, running speed is increased by 80 to 200 percent, and life expectancy is increased by to years. It can also cure some genetic diseases and congenital diseases. As for the eternal youth you mentioned, that's definitely not possible. At present, it can only delay aging. For example, people of our age can use it to stay young for at least to years."
"It's pretty good to stay young for sixty or seventy years. Honey, can I get the injection now?" Du Qingqing asked anxiously, holding Qiao Ruida's hand. It seems that staying young forever is too attractive to a woman, especially a beautiful woman. Even a top student like Du Qingqing is no exception.
"Honey, don't worry. The body strengthening potion is right there. If someone else's is missing, yours won't be missing. Your due date is only a few days away. It won't be too late to get the injection after you give birth."
"That's true. If my physical fitness suddenly improves so much, it may not be a good thing for our baby. Let's wait until after the birth." After Qiao Ruida's reminder, Du Qingqing remembered that she was still a pregnant woman and it was really not suitable for her to do anything rash.
"It's getting late, let's wash up and go to bed." Qiao Ruida stood up, supported Du Qingqing, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
There was no conversation overnight. The next morning, the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and father Qiao Jingkang drove two flying cars to the courtyard to spend the New Year with Qiao Ruida and his wife. They also brought a lot of local specialties and various New Year goods, filling up two trunks. Speaking of which, today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the couple has not prepared anything for the New Year. Qiao Ruida originally wanted to go to the mall today to buy some New Year goods, but now with these brought by his father and father-in-law and mother-in-law, he doesn't have to go again.
At about noon, the younger sister Qiao Ruixue also came over. At this point, Qiao Ruida's family of five, plus his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, gathered in the courtyard.
In the following time, mother, younger sister and mother-in-law chatted with Du Qingqing, while Qiao Ruida, father and father-in-law did hard labor, sweeping snow, cleaning the room, pasting couplets and window decorations, hanging lanterns, and simply decorating the courtyard. The New Year atmosphere in the courtyard became stronger. During this period, several business partners or company subordinates came to give gifts, and Qiao Ruida had to put down his work and go to receive them. After all, China is a society of favors. With Qiao Ruida's current status, his social circle should not be too large. During the New Year and other festivals, there are many people who come to give gifts.
The next day, Qiao Ruida took his sister Qiao Ruixue, father and father-in-law to Wangfujing for a stroll. Perhaps because the workers had gone back to their hometowns for the holidays, there were fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the streets of Beijing than usual, and the traffic situation was much better. It was not until Wangfujing that the flow of people and vehicles became dense.
After finally finding an empty parking space and parking the car, they pushed open the car door and walked into the cold wind. Qiao Ruixue put her hands in her trouser pockets, shrank her neck, and said, "I didn't expect it to be so cold outside. If I had known, I would have worn something thicker when I went out."
"What a silly girl! How can you not be cold after it just snowed? I have a windbreaker in my car. It may be a little big. Do you want to wear it?" As he said that, Qiao Ruida opened the trunk and rummaged through a pile of gift boxes. He took out a brand new windbreaker without even the tag cut off.
"Of course I will wear it. It's not a big deal. As long as it keeps me warm, that's fine." Qiao Ruixue took the clothes and put them on in a few seconds. Due to the huge height difference, the jacket became a robe on her body, which was a bit funny. However, this jacket is an international brand after all, and the warmth-keeping effect is still very good.
After a small episode, the group of four quickly joined the crowd and walked towards the Wangfujing Pedestrian Street nearby.
On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, red lanterns swayed in the cold wind on Wangfujing Street, turning the snow-covered bluestone pavement into flowing cinnabar. The glass windows of Donglaishun were covered with thick mist, and the aroma of shabu-shabu meat wrapped in garlic and sesame sauce hit people's noses. The glass cabinets of the candied haws vendors were condensed with white mist, and the frozen sugar shells on the hawthorns were crystal clear. The coffee aroma from Starbucks mixed with the taste of freshly baked snacks from Daoxiangcun, and girls in Hanfu held up selfie sticks to broadcast live,
A flock of gray pigeons flew over the spire of the East Church, and the pigeon whistles sounded melodious and pleasant. The trailer of the Spring Festival Gala was played on the giant screen on the outer wall of the department store. The person wearing a doll costume handing out flyers took off his bear head, and under his sweaty bangs, his eyes looked across the street - there was a cleaner sweeping broken ribbons into a dustpan, and the debris stuck to his cracked cotton shoe uppers like a dying fire. The four of them visited several stores on the pedestrian street and bought some local snacks in Beijing, such as donkey rolls, sugar rolls, ginger shredded ribs, and toad spitting honey. Then they went into the department store and spent the whole morning shopping. They each bought some fried chicken, duck, fish, fruits from the south, and winter clothes, shoes and hats.
We had lunch at the Regent Hotel and found the food delicious. We also booked a New Year's Eve dinner. However, the hotel did not provide door-to-door service, so Qiao Ruida paid an extra 1,000 yuan for the delivery.
The day passed quickly, and New Year's Eve arrived soon. The New Year's Eve dinner we had ordered was also delivered. A total of 49 dishes filled a large round table, and there was still a small amount of space left. These dishes included meat and vegetables, cold dishes and hot dishes, and they were delicious and appetizing at first glance. Since they were packed and delivered, the presentation of the dishes was a bit messy, which was the only drawback.
"Let's watch TV later, let's eat first!" After sending away the hotel waiter who was delivering the meal, my mother Yao Miaozhi invited everyone to eat.
The parents of both parties and Qiao Ruixue walked into the restaurant and took their seats. Qiao Ruida supported Du Qingqing and walked slowly. He walked into the restaurant last and sat down in two empty seats next to each other. Seven people from two families sat around the round table, which was quite spacious.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's worthy of a New Year's Eve dinner priced at 18,800 per table. It's really sumptuous. Brother Qiao, shall we order two bowls?"
"It's New Year's Eve, it's time to have a couple of drinks, Xiaoda, take out the two bottles you've been hiding for a long time."
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Since his father and father-in-law had spoken, how could Qiao Ruida dare to object? He had to go to the wine cabinet and take out two bottles of aged Moutai 80 that were given to him as gifts, and also brought a bottle of Perrier-Jouët champagne.
"What kind of wine is this? Why is the wine box so big?"
"It should be Moutai 80, which is Moutai aged for eighty years. I heard that the production of this wine is very small, and a bottle is sold for more than 200,000 yuan, but it is in short supply and most people can't buy it at all." My father-in-law Du Feng is a famous screenwriter and also runs a film and television company. He has participated in various drinking parties and can be said to be knowledgeable. He recognized the origin of the two bottles of wine at a glance.
Hearing that a bottle of wine costs more than 200,000 yuan, Qiao Jingkang, who was opening the bottle, trembled, "What did you say? This bottle of wine costs more than 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a car. It's a pity to drink such expensive wine. How about we change to a cheaper bottle?"
"Dad, just drink it without worry. This wine is produced for people to drink. Besides, the wine in the wine cabinet is all gifts from others, and it doesn't cost me a penny." Qiao Ruida took out a bottle opener and a few high-heeled glasses, opened the champagne, and poured half a glass for each of my mother, mother-in-law and younger sister. He continued, "We men drink white wine, and the ladies drink champagne. Qingqing, you are still pregnant, so don't drink it."
Good wine and delicious food, family reunion, joy, everyone clinking glasses, eating and chatting, it was so lively. The New Year's Eve dinner took nearly an hour to finish. After simply cleaning up the table, everyone moved to the living room, drinking tea and chatting while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
This year's Spring Festival Gala was as bad as ever. There were not many good programs. The singing programs were all lip-syncing, and the language programs were always about values and elevating the theme, but the basic humor of mouth was thrown away. If it weren't for spending time with his family, Qiao Ruida would have picked up his phone and watched short videos to kill time.
Du Qingqing, who was pregnant, was tired and began to feel sleepy. Qiao Ruida helped her to the bedroom and went to sleep. The rest of the people continued to chat and stay up, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.
They kept going until 10:00 a.m., when the New Year bell rang. Then the phone of several people started to ring. They were all sending text messages and calling to wish each other a happy new year. Qiao Ruida kept answering the phone, sending group text messages, and sending several million-dollar red envelopes in the company group. He was busy for half an hour before the phone stopped ringing.
Qiao Jingkang stood up, stretched, walked to the window, looked at the night sky outside, and said with regret: "Beijing is a good place in every way, except that fireworks are not allowed, which makes the New Year atmosphere less."
"Who says it's not true? If it was in our Decheng City, there would be firecrackers and fireworks all over the sky by now."
"It's okay if you want to set off fireworks, but you have to change the form. I remember there's a large holographic projector in the storage room over there. Let's move it to the yard, connect it to a power source, and then find a holographic video of setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and then we can just play it." Qiao Ruixue put away her phone and gave everyone a bad idea.
"Hey, that's a good idea. I remember last year's annual meeting, we used a holographic projector to set off fireworks. The visual and auditory effects were perfect, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The only drawback was that there was no smell of gunpowder."
In order to satisfy everyone's wish to set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, the two families worked together to move equipment, pull wires, install speakers, and look for fireworks materials. After more than ten minutes, everything was ready. Qiao Ruixue decisively pressed the play button, and the next moment, the grand fireworks show began.
The night was as dark as ink and the capital city was silent at midnight. Suddenly, a silver light streaked across the sky and exploded into thousands of golden threads at the highest point, illuminating the entire courtyard and the nearby blocks.
Hearing the noise and seeing the light, the children next door who were still awake screamed and ran over, crushing the ice and snow on the ground with their cotton shoes. The adults in the nearby blocks were also startled by the noise outside and ran out to watch the excitement. The second firework rushed into the sky with a red tail, and the moment it exploded, it seemed to dye the entire alley red. People looked up, their eyes following the fireworks as they rose. The broken light fell into their pupils, like a handful of stars.
Suddenly, a barrage of fireworks rose in the courtyard, and a golden waterfall hung upside down in the night sky, with a continuous explosion. Then, more than a dozen fireworks rose one after another, exploding in the night sky, turning into a myriad of colors, which was very lively. (End of this chapter)
