Chapter 145 Farewell New Year's Eve Dinner
The sky is clear and the sun is scorching. The golden sunlight shines on the earth, as if covering the whole world with a layer of dazzling coat.
A group of security guards stood neatly at the door, their postures as straight as pine trees, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. Everyone was whispering to each other, and the sound of whispers floated gently in the air.
"What's going on today? The young master suddenly asked us to gather at the door. What is he going to do?" A young security guard muttered in a low voice.
"It's New Year's Day, maybe they are giving us red envelopes! Ever since the young master moved in, we can get a red envelope of 5,000 yuan every New Year's Eve!" Another security guard's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yes, the young master is very generous and especially considerate of his subordinates. He never treats us as servants. Not only does he give us red envelopes during festivals, but he also provides various benefits. You won't get such treatment in other places." An elderly security guard said with emotion.
"Stop talking, the young master is coming out." Someone whispered a reminder, and everyone immediately fell silent, straightened up, and looked towards the door.
Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu walked slowly to the door hand in hand. Their figures, illuminated by the sun, looked like a pair of perfect couples walking out of a painting.
Mu Xiaoji coughed lightly, and his clear voice broke the silence: "First of all, I wish you all a happy new year! The first thing we should do today is to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together, just like in previous years. With so many people, we can't let Master Lou do it alone."
"Yes..." Security guard Lao Zhao responded quickly, "Master, I will also make the beggar's chicken that you like."
Jiang Chengyu smiled brilliantly, as warm as the sun: "Okay, I never get tired of eating it!"
Auntie also laughed and chimed in: "Then I'll make stir-fried pork with asparagus."
Mu Xiaoji smiled and said, "Okay, I like it; remember to make it slightly spicy, I can't stand it if it's too spicy." Everyone smiled and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
However, Mu Xiaoji immediately put away his smile and became serious: "Thank you all for your companionship and protection over the past few years. I, Mu Xiaoji, am deeply grateful and cannot express my gratitude in words. Please accept this little gift."
After that, Jiang Chengyu walked down the steps and calmly took out some bank cards from his trouser pocket. His movements were graceful and natural, as if he was performing a solemn ceremony.
Mu Xiaoji continued, "My studies are over. We will be returning to China in a few days. Before I leave, I will meet with President Dai and arrange new positions for everyone. I will remember your dedication and hard work. Wait a minute, I will let Little Devil toast you a few more glasses."
"Master, you are too polite!" Xiao Wu greeted.
"Master, you're leaving so suddenly that we're all reluctant to let you go!" said the aunt with tears in her eyes.
"Yes! These three years are neither long nor short!" Old Zhao sighed.
Jiang Chengyu distributed the bank cards to everyone one by one, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you for your kindness, we will meet again if we are destined to. Now, let's get started! I want to drink a few more glasses with you today."
"Okay, thank you, young master." Everyone said in unison, and then dispersed and started to work in all directions.
Lao Zhang looked around and saw that no one noticed him, so he quietly walked into the security room.
His heartbeat quickened slightly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation. Lao Zhang picked up the phone and dialed Dai Haoran's number.
At this time, Dai Haoran was at home wearing a chef's skirt helping his wife make dumplings. With flour all over his hands, he hurriedly shouted, "Honey, help me answer the phone."
Dai Haoran's lover came over after hearing the voice and picked up the phone: "Hello, hello."
"Is this Mr. Dai? I'm Zhang Delin."
Dai Haoran's wife quickly turned on the speakerphone, and Dai Haoran asked anxiously, "Lao Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Dai, it seems that the two young masters are preparing to return to China!" There was a hint of nervousness in Lao Zhang's voice.
"When?" Dai Haoran frowned slightly.
"It should be in these few days! I gave a special speech today and said some words of thanks." Lao Zhang reported in detail.
"Okay, I understand. Remember to tell me as soon as possible if there is any situation." Dai Haoran reminded.
"Okay, Mr. Dai." After saying that, Lao Zhang hung up the phone.
When Dai Haoran heard that the two young masters were going back to China, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He immediately put down the dumplings he was making and said apologetically, "My dear wife, I'm so sorry that I can't eat dumplings with you. The two young masters are going back to China, and I have to go to the manor to check on the situation."
When Dai Haoran's wife heard this, she was immediately furious. She frowned and said angrily, "Humph, all you do every day is take care of this and look after that. Is this still a home?"
Dai Haoran quickly apologized with a smile and said gently, "Honey, don't be angry. How about I call my son and daughter and ask them to come back to accompany you?"
"It's too late for you to call. They are almost here," said the wife unhappily.
Dai Haoran chuckled and showed a flattering expression: "Hehe, my wife still understands me the best. Then I'm leaving."
His wife looked at his anxious look, sighed helplessly, and reminded him: "Hey, don't drive after drinking, drive slowly on the road."
"Okay, I get it, wife." Dai Haoran responded while quickly taking off his kitchen skirt and walking to the door.
He put on his suit quickly, picked up his car keys, and his hurried figure quickly disappeared at the door.
His mind was filled with thoughts about the two young masters returning home, and his pace quickened involuntarily, as if every step was filled with urgency and responsibility.
Dai Haoran walked hurriedly to the underground parking lot. The lights in the underground parking lot were a little dim, but it could not hide the dazzling light of his luxury car.
He opened the trunk and carefully put in some fine wine, fruits and tea that he had carefully prepared.
He had specially selected these items and was going to bring them to everyone in the manor. After putting them away, he gently closed the trunk and got into the car nimbly.
With a low roar of the engine, the luxury car slowly drove out of the parking lot, as if a beast ready to go began its journey.
The black luxury car was speeding on the road, just like a cheetah running at top speed. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the car body, adding a touch of mystery to it.
The car was driving at lightning speed, and after going down the viaduct, it immediately drove into the tunnel. The lights in the tunnel were dim, and the lights of the car were like sharp swords cutting through the darkness.
After exiting the tunnel, the car slowly came to a small road lined with trees on both sides. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if welcoming Dai Haoran's arrival.
As the car moved forward, the manor gradually came into view. The magnificent buildings and beautiful gardens made people feel like they were in a fairy tale world.
The security guard saw Dai Haoran's car coming from a distance and quickly opened the door. The door slowly opened, as if welcoming a distinguished guest.
The car slowly stopped in the parking space. Security guard Lao Zhang hurriedly approached the car with a smile on his face. He said with a smile: "Boss Dai, you got here so quickly."
"Where is the young master?" Dai Haoran asked anxiously.
"They are all busy inside!" replied Lao Zhang.
Dai Haoran opened the trunk, and together with Lao Zhang, he took out the gift packages of fine wine, fruit, and tea, and the two walked towards the hall side by side.
Walking into the hall, a lively atmosphere hits you. Some people are making dumplings, some are washing vegetables and peeling shrimps, and some are mashing the special beggar's chicken.
Everyone was busy, with happy smiles on their faces. The hall was filled with laughter and joy, a lively scene.
Dai Haoran saw Jiang Chengyu rolling out dough at a glance. Jiang Chengyu's movements were skillful and elegant, like a professional chef.
Dai Haoran said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't realize that Mr. Jiang is such a versatile person!"
Jiang Chengyu looked up and happened to see the flour on Dai Haoran's chin. It must have been accidentally rubbed on by Dai Haoran when he raised his hand, but he himself didn't notice it.
Jiang Chengyu joked, "We are the same, but I don't know if you have eaten after working so hard for so long?"
Dai Haoran asked in confusion: "How do you know I'm making dumplings?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled and said, "It's all written on your face! Now that you're here, don't just sit there, get started!"
Dai Haoran hurriedly took off his clothes, threw them on the sofa, rolled up his sleeves and started making dumplings.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji came out with a plate of cut fruits. He had a warm smile on his face, like the sunshine of spring.
Mu Xiaoji took an apple and walked towards Jiang Chengyu, saying gently: "Little monster, ah... open your mouth."
Jiang Chengyu quickly opened his mouth to take the apple, with a happy smile on his face.
Dai Haoran quickly said: "Mr. Mu is in a good mood, I want one too, ah..."
Mu Xiaoji said with a smile: "Mr. Dai, why are you here? Have an apple and open your mouth." After that, he also took a piece of apple and fed it to Dai Haoran.
Dai Haoran hurriedly said with a smile: "Oh, I'm flattered, I'm flattered!"
Seeing the flour on Dai Haoran's chin, Mu Xiaoji joked, "Boss Dai, come if you want. You don't need a bite to eat. My sister-in-law is worried that I won't take care of your meals, so why did you bring your own flour?"
Dai Haoran suddenly realized what was going on and said, "I thought you two were teasing me! It turns out that I was in a hurry to go out and there was something on my face!"
Dai Haoran hurriedly used his hands to wipe the flour off, but the more he wiped, the more flour appeared, making everyone laugh. The laughter echoed in the hall, like a cheerful piece of music, adding more joy to this lively scene.
Time passed by like a white horse, and in a flash. With the concerted efforts of everyone, delicious dishes were served on the table one after another, and the tempting aroma instantly filled the entire hall.
The hall was filled with two tables of sumptuous dishes. Every dish was delicious and tasty, making people salivate at the sight.
Jiang Chengyu reached out and opened a bottle of wine, preparing to pour it for Dai Haoran.
Dai Haoran saw this and quickly stood up, saying respectfully, "Boss Jiang, this is not allowed. I'm the one pouring the wine, how can I let you pour it?"
Jiang Chengyu waved his hand slightly, a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he said proudly: "Everyone here today is family, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates.
Everyone, fill your glasses. Let's raise our glasses together to celebrate this wonderful moment. Cheers." His voice was passionate and high-pitched, full of appeal.
Mu Xiaoji and Youyou picked up the juice, their faces filled with warm smiles.
Others also raised their glasses, and the wine in the crystal clear glasses exuded a mellow aroma. Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: "Happy New Year!"
The sound echoed in the hall, full of joy and happiness. At this moment, everyone seemed to forget all their worries and fatigue, immersed in this joyful atmosphere.
Outside the window, night gradually falls, fireworks and firecrackers make crisp sounds, and the twinkling lights are like bright gems, adding a touch of brilliant color to this special night.
In this warm hall, people as close as family share this wonderful moment together, their hearts full of longing and hope for the future.
