January 27th, close to midnight.
Dream Entertainment Xia Xia's head office issued an emergency notice, stating that due to the company's internal network malfunction, the notice sent overseas had failed.
According to the decision of Dream Entertainment Xia Xia's head office, Dream Entertainment's Lijian Province branch would enjoy the same annual bonus and benefits as the head office's employees.
At the same time, according to the notice issued by Mirui Technology Group, AMD, DIP Communications Research, and D-Wave would all enjoy the same annual bonus and benefits.
The explanation on Dream Entertainment's official website was a little perfunctory. After all, Dream Entertainment was such a huge Hero's World, and there had never been any problems. Why would the internal network malfunction at such a crucial time?
Even if the outside world had their suspicions, Dream Entertainment would definitely not allow the outside world to investigate Dream Entertainment's internal network.
Recently, Shi Lei had been paying attention to the Soaring Dragon Organization and Solomon Devil Organization. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another week had passed. It was February 3rd, the day Mirui Technology Group would be on holiday.
Shi Lei personally oversaw the Jade Building, and Xie Hui was reporting on his work.
"Director Shi, according to the feedback from FedEx, all the virtual bicycle parts have been delivered to the customers by 14 pm today.
Since we used special air transportation, none of the virtual bicycle parts had any problems, "Xie Hui reported.
Shi Lei clapped his hands. "Old Xie, I heard you rushed back to Taiwan tonight?"
Taiwan was part of Xia Xia, and its culture and traditions were the same. The Chinese New Year was also the most important festival.
"Yes, Director Shi.
I haven't been home for more than a year, and the elders at home are worried. "
Xie Hui was a little embarrassed. In fact, it was the elders at home who were worried that Xie Hui would not be able to carry on the family line and urged him to go on blind dates.
The Chinese New Year was always the craze for blind dates. It was not impossible to arrange five blind dates in a day.
"If that's the case, Old Xie, I'll allow you to get off work early today and bring some local specialties of Shuangqing City back to the elders at home. Remember to issue an invoice, and the company will reimburse you!" Shi Lei said generously.
Although it did not cost much to buy New Year's goods, it was a token of his sincerity.
Xie Hui quickly thanked him. "Thank you, Boss!"
"Oh right, Old Xie, this is the arrangement after the Chinese New Year. Remember to take a look.
If I don't return to the company on time, arrange everything.
Also, arrange for the people on duty during the New Year to be on duty 24/7. "Shi Lei handed an envelope to Xie Hui.
Xie Hui took the envelope. He didn't ask Shi Lei what he was doing during the New Year or why he couldn't return to the company on time. He just nodded and left Shi Lei's office.
After he returned to his office, he opened opened the envelope and read.
This was a traditional paper letter, explaining what Xie Hui needed to do at the beginning of the year.
At the same time, his annual salary to Xie Hui Hui Hui Hui, which was five times his annual salary to him.
This was what Xie Hui deserved. As the deputy general manager of Dream Entertainment, Xie Hui deserved his annual salary of three million yuan.
Xie Hui's expression was agitated. He had to hold it in before he could stop himself from calling Shi Lei to ask about it.
After all, it was written in black and white. How could it be fake?
It was because of the salary increase that Shi Lei chose to use a paper letter to send a message to Xie Hui. It showed his attitude that this matter was real.
Xie Hui left Shi Lei's office. Lingyumo and Mu Shuang came to Shi Lei's office together.
Lingyumo asked first, "Stone Monster, my dad wants to ask you, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
Mu Shuang's expression was natural, but her eyes dimmed. Lingyumo had the geographical advantage. Her home was in Shuangqing City, while Mu Shuang lived in Shengjing City.
However, in the next moment, Mu Shuang's dimness disappeared.
Because Lingyumo also invited her!
"Sister Mu Shuang, do you want to come too?" Lingyumo looked at Mu Shuang expectantly. Her eyes were sincere, without any hypocrisy or pretentiousness.
Shi Lei took the initiative to accept on behalf of Mu Shuang. "Okay, Little Ink, tell Director Ling that Shuangshuang and I will be there."
"That's great!" Lingyumo said happily.
"Oh right, Stone Monster, my dad said that you don't need to give any gifts."
Lingyumo was in a high position. He was the director of the Western Cybersecurity Headquarters. His power was comparable to the mayor of Shuangqing City. It was indeed inappropriate for him to accept gifts.
Shi Lei smiled. "Okay, I know."
"Stone Monster, I'll see you tonight.
Sister Mu Shuang, let's go together. Let Stone Monster go alone. He knows the way anyway. "Lingyumo made a naughty face at Shi Lei and pulled Mu Shuang away.
After the two girls left, Shi Lei gave Ge Dahu a call. Ge Dahu was currently the representative of the underground forces in Shuanghu District.
"Dahu, have you taken care of the matter I asked you to do?" Shi Lei asked calmly.
Ge Dahu's attitude was very respectful. Shi Lei had given him the position he had today. If Shi Lei was not satisfied, he could send him to the abyss with a single word. He had no choice but to be respectful.
"It's been taken care of, Mr. Shi.
Shall I send it over now? "Ge Dahu asked politely.
"Same old place. Send it over!
Same old rules! "Shi Lei answered and hung up the phone.
February 3rd, six o 'clock in the evening.
Shi Lei stood in front of Lingyuguo's house in the Beiyu District with a brown-yellow kraft paper bag in each hand.
Lingyumo was in charge of receiving Shi Lei at the door. Seeing that Shi Lei had brought a gift, Lingyumo smiled and said, "Stone Monster, you'll see how my dad will lecture you later!"
Shi Lei said confidently, "Don't worry, Director Ling will like it."
Lingyuguo appeared beside Lingyumo. "Little Shi, didn't you say to call me Uncle Ling? Why are you treating me like an outsider?"
"Haha, Uncle Ling, I'm afraid that Little Ink will say I'm trying to get close to her!" Shi Lei joked.
Lingyumo blushed and glared at Shi Lei. She snorted and said, "Stone Monster, you're a bad guy!" After saying that, she turned around and went into the house without looking back.
Lingyuguo called out to Shi Lei, "Little Shi, come in quickly. You're in for a treat tonight, you're in for a treat!"
Shi Lei looked happy on the surface, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
If Ou Yangxiang's culinary skills were at the peak of perfection and had reached the level of a master, then her dishes were the most delicious in the world.
Among all the dishes that Shi Lei had eaten, only the owner of Lao Jiang's Pickled Cabbage Chicken could match Ou Yangxiang's cooking skills.
There was a Zui Xian Siheyuan in the capital city, and the food it made was also at Ou Yangxiang's level. But was it really worth it to take a four-hour flight back and forth just for a meal?
The food made by Li Zhiyue's mother, Huang Fen, could only be considered delicious. It wasn't delicious, but it was still good enough for Shi Lei.
As for the ordinary restaurants outside, such as the ones in the back street of Shuangqing University, most of the food they made was just passable.
However, Lingyuguo's wife, Jiang Ling, was the deputy director of the Shuangqing First Hospital. She had great achievements in medicine, but what about her culinary skills?
Shi Lei didn't want to complain.
Shi Lei might have thought that the food at Lingyuguo's house was delicious, but Shi Lei now knew the truth.
He only hoped that the food tonight would be as delicious as the last time!
Shi Lei walked into the Ling family's house and sat on the sofa in the living room under Lingyuguo's guidance. He put the two paper bags in his hands on the coffee table.
Lingyumo and Mu Shuang weren't in the living room. They should be in Lingyumo's room.
Lingyuguo looked left and right before asking in a low voice, "Shi Lei brat, what's this?"
Shi Lei chuckled. "Uncle Ling, Little Ink said that you don't want a gift.
So, this isn't a gift for you. "
"Hmph!
Are you trying to keep me in suspense? "
The relationship between Lingyuguo and Shi Lei was more familiar and closer than what Ling Yumo had imagined.
Shi Lei quickly explained. Lingyuguo was his father-in-law, after all. Shi Lei didn't dare to tease him.
"This is the same batch of Maotai that was sent to San Francisco, Lijian Province for the first Panama World Exhibition in 1915 by the Guizhou government.
This isn't the so-called eighty-year-old Maotai on the market. This is the real ninety-three-year-old Maotai.
Because of the wax seal, the quality is guaranteed. It's definitely a treasure! "Shi Lei said in a low voice.
Lingyuguo liked to drink, but he wasn't a heavy drinker. He only liked good wine!
Lingyuguo's eyes lit up. Then, he looked at Shi Lei in surprise. "Shi Lei, how did you find this?
It's not cheap, is it? "
Five-star Maotai that was made in 1980 had reached the level of tens of thousands of yuan per bottle.
The eighty-year-old Maotai that was advertised by the Maotai manufacturer was priced at two hundred thousand yuan per bottle.
Now, how could a Maotai that was close to a hundred years old be cheap?
Shi Lei grinned. "Uncle Ling, no matter how much it costs, Little Ink said that you don't accept gifts. I'll take it home after dinner."
Lingyuguo glared at Shi Lei. "You're still playing this game with me?"
Shi Lei chuckled. "I'm just kidding, kidding.
Oh right, Uncle Ling, here are two genuine bottles of 1980 five-star Maotai. "
Ling Yuguo hurriedly took out the two bottles of wine and looked at them again and again with an expression of fondness.
Then, he quickly put the three bottles back into the kraft paper bag and carried it to the basement.
After a while, Lingyuguo came back with two ordinary mass-produced bottles of Maotai.
Shi Lei pursed his lips. "I say, Uncle Ling, this isn't good, right?
I'm giving you three bottles of good wine. If you can't bear to part with the most precious one, you should at least open a bottle of 1980 five-star Maotai, right? "
"Shi Lei, don't think that I don't know that you're a newbie who gets drunk after a glass of wine!
Any wine tastes the same in your mouth, right? "Lingyuguo said eloquently.
Shi Lei helplessly smiled bitterly.
Lingyuguo looked at Shi Lei proudly. Then, he frowned and whispered, "Shi Lei, I have something to tell you."
Shi Lei looked at Lingyuguo's serious expression. He knew that it was serious and stopped joking. "What is it?"
