Chapter 490 Another Year
For most people, the time they can spend together in a year is limited.
The bigger the city, the more outsiders there are.
These outsiders come from all over the world, and when the year is coming to an end, they squeeze together to travel.
China has ushered in the Spring Festival travel rush.
Whether migrant workers or office workers, white-collar and blue-collar managers, sometimes they squeeze into a carriage.
The Chinese New Year holiday is the longest.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a reunion, the time is too short and we have to adjust the rest.
For some people who live far away, a round trip will delay a lot of time.
As these people left Hangzhou, the huge city of Hangzhou became quiet, and the number of cars on the streets suddenly decreased by more than half.
The rush hour also seemed less congested.
At least millions of people left Hangzhou in the past few days.
Many small shops along the street were closed, with a sign hanging at the door - closed for the New Year, open after the New Year.
Those who stayed were preparing for the New Year.
A large number of shop owners closed their shops and went home for the New Year. Many locals or outsiders who did not choose to go home sometimes had to go to the few shops that were not closed for dinner.
Many restaurants began to accept reservations for New Year's Eve dinner half a month ago.
The waiters in the store wanted to take leave to go home for the New Year, but they were rejected by the bosses for various reasons, and even offered high salaries and red envelopes to retain these waiters so that they could continue to work during the New Year.
The whole city of Hangzhou seemed to be a fusion of bustle and silence.
…
The next day.
New Year's Eve!
Early in the morning, Gao's father's voice resounded throughout the villa.
Even though Gao Yuan used very advanced sound insulation technology when decorating the villa, he still couldn't stand Gao's father's loud voice.
He spoke in the living room, and Gao Yuan in the room could hear it clearly.
It must be said that Gao's father is still in good health, and his voice is like a bell.
Gao Yuan yawned and got up from the bed.
After fighting with the four girls all night, Gao Yuan showed them what real fierceness is.
Li Mengqing, Xiao Xiao, Lin Wanyu and Cai Sitian, the four of them surrendered before they could hold on until the second half of the night.
Gao Yuan would not let them have their way.
He tortured them until three or four in the morning before they rested.
It was about seven in the morning now.
Gao Yuan slept for less than three hours.
After coming out of the room in pajamas, Gao Yuan saw his father packing up his things, as if he was going to go out.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Gao Yuan asked.
"Go out and exercise, practice Tai Chi." Gao's father said, "You are so young, but you know how to sleep in. This behavior is not good. Young people should be energetic!"
"You should exercise more and go out for exercise more often."
"You should go." Gao Yuan shook his head, "I have been too busy these days and have not rested well."
After that, Gao Yuan yawned.
"Don't sleep. When I come back from exercise, we will post couplets." Gao's father said, "Don't send people to do this kind of thing. Let's do it together."
Posting couplets, window flowers, blessing characters, tidying up the house, general cleaning...
There are many things to do all day today.
In my memory, New Year's Eve was not easy when I was a child.
When I was cleaning, it was so tiring.
But now it is not so troublesome. There are several nannies in the villa. Just let them clean the villa.
All the furniture must be scrubbed, and the whole villa must be re-tidyed and reorganized.
Get rid of the old and welcome the new.
After Gao's father came back from his exercise, Gao Yuan started to post couplets and other matters.
Li Mengqing, Xiao Xiao, Lin Wanyu and Cai Sitian began to decorate the whole villa, decorating the whole villa with all kinds of small things.
They also hung small colored lights and decorated the open space outside the villa with a festive look.
The whole villa was brand new, and it was a big change compared to before.
Time passed by, and soon it was time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
The family gathered together, and Gao's father and mother sat in the main seat.
Gao Yuan and Li Mengqing sat on both sides of Gao's father and mother.
Seven people gathered at one table.
The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV.
"The Spring Festival Gala has become less and less interesting in recent years." Cai Sitian said, "The previous Spring Festival Gala was better."
"Yes, especially those skits. At the end of each performance, people either burst into tears or gathered together to make dumplings." Li Mengqing echoed, "I think such skits are the rubbish among rubbish."
"That's right. I've quit watching the Spring Festival Gala for a long time." Xiao Xiao sighed, "The Spring Festival Gala nowadays is always educating people. It's too boring. We are all adults. We must have a scale in our hearts when doing things. We don't need them to talk about those big principles, right?"
The three of them complained about the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala nowadays is indeed becoming more and more boring.
Just like what Mr. Zhao, the former skit king, said-there are more than 300 days a year, and we are educated almost every day. It's not easy to celebrate the New Year, and the family gathers together, but we still have to be educated.
Isn't it better to be happy?
We are so old, even if it is education, it is not enough to rely on one night.
It's better for everyone to be happy and have a good New Year.
Father Gao wanted to refute what they said. After all, it was his habit to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
But just when he was about to speak, he thought carefully and felt that the Spring Festival Gala in recent years seemed to be really boring.
The plot was monotonous, and the skits were hard to describe.
As a result, more and more people quit watching TV.
So Father Gao didn't say anything, but kept urging everyone to eat.
While eating, Father Gao and Gao Yuan clinked a few cups together.
"Ding Dong!"
As time came to midnight.
"It's the new year, I prepared red envelopes for everyone."
Father Gao smiled and took out a stack of red envelopes from his pocket, "You should be good in the new year, work hard to make a lot of money, but you should also exercise more and stay healthy."
"Being free from illness and disaster is a blessing, and it's time to get rid of the old and welcome the new."
Each red envelope contained 8,888 yuan.
This amount of money is not much for everyone, but it is a kind gesture from Father Gao.
The four girls who received the red envelopes all expressed their gratitude to Gao's father.
"Your mother's red envelope is also necessary." Gao's father handed the last two red envelopes in his hand to Gao Yuan and Gao's mother, "We are a family, and we wish you good fortune, good luck and health!"
"Thank you, Dad."
Gao Yuan took the red envelope.
The new year is here!
The so-called farewell to the old and the welcome to the new, no matter how many difficulties and ups and downs you encountered in the past year, they are all over.
In the new year, everything will develop in a good direction.
"Ding Dong!"
The next second, Gao Yuan's mobile phone received a lot of New Year's greetings.
There were Princess Mia in Australia and Li Yuanzhu, both wishing Gao Yuan a happy new year.
There were also those executives of the company who sent text messages to congratulate.
Knowing that Gao Yuan must be reunited with his family at this time, they did not call.
A New Year's greeting text message is enough.
There are also many activities on the Youni APP this year, collecting the word "Fu" to share the red envelope.
At the moment of twelve o'clock, the prize was drawn.
Someone with incredible luck actually won a grand prize of 990,000 yuan. He was so excited that he immediately posted a video to show off.
Countless netizens commented below, wanting to get some good luck.
…
The first day of the Chinese New Year.
Everyone was wearing laundry and sitting on the roof of the villa to bask in the sun.
Playing cards, playing with mobile phones, and chatting.
Such a day was so comfortable that Gao Yuan, lying on a rocking chair, specially sent a New Year's greeting video to all netizens.
On Gao Yuan's personal account on the YouNi APP, as soon as this video was released, the number of likes and views soared instantly.
"Fuck, Mr. Gao is wishing us a happy New Year."
"First, I came the earliest, and Mr. Gao also has a happy new year!"
"Brothers, it seems that this video can get red envelopes."
"Damn, where is it? I found it, and the red envelopes have been taken. That's 50,000 red envelopes! I didn't even get one!"
"…"
In the comment area of the video, Gao Yuan distributed 50,000 red envelopes, each worth 88 yuan.
But I didn't expect that they were all taken in less than a few minutes.
Those netizens are really fast.
After replying to several comments from netizens, Gao Yuan put down his phone.
The most important thing today is to spend time with family.
Gao Yuan walked to the side of several people, "Add me to play cards."
He squeezed in the middle of the crowd, and was instantly filled with laughter.
The first day of the new year is the most important day of the year. As the saying goes, a new year begins, and everything is renewed.
Every household spent this day in peace.
Visiting relatives will start on the second day of the new year.
In many places, people go to their father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year.
Wait until the third day of the new year, and then go to each relative's house to pay New Year's greetings to each other.
Gao Yuan is in Hangzhou at this time. Unlike old age, visiting relatives is not very realistic.
However, many relatives still came to Hangzhou from thousands of miles away to pay New Year's greetings to Gao's father and mother.
When the son is successful, parents will follow.
Even if the distance is far, those relatives will come to the door to get closer.
This is all very normal.
From the third to the sixth day of the first lunar month, there are constant guests at home.
It wasn't until the seventh day of the first lunar month that things calmed down a bit.
Dozens of executives from Yuanfang Group gathered in the villa to wish their boss Gao Yuan a happy new year.
This is already a routine.
One or two days before the official start of work, you should go to your boss' or leader's home to wish him a happy new year and deepen the relationship between the two.
In the future, whether it is promotion or reuse, people familiar to the boss will definitely be given priority.
This is social etiquette!
When I was in school, many people thought that social etiquette was unimportant, useless, and a social bad habit.
But when you really enter society, you find that sometimes if you want to make progress, you can't do it without understanding social etiquette.
Unless you are excellent enough, and not just ordinary excellence, you must be excellent enough to shock others, such as developing the latest technology or achieving major results.
These people have technology, so it doesn't matter if they don't understand social etiquette, they can gain a foothold with technology.
Or their family members have connections, and their parents are big guys.
This kind of people also don't need to understand social etiquette, they just need others to understand these things to curry favor with them.
In Gao Yuan's view, the so-called social skills are actually to provide emotional value to another person who has a beneficial relationship with you.
When you provide emotional value, you can get some benefits in return.
And when these benefits do not exist, there is no need to provide the so-called emotional value.
The most important thing about human relations is the word "people".
There is still a lot to learn.
When I was in school, I sneered at these, but after graduation, I learned frame by frame from many videos about human relations.
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Yuanfang Group resumed work.
Standing at the door of Yuanfang Group headquarters, Gao Yuan, Cai Sitian, Li Mengqing, Lin Wanyu and Xiao Xiao each occupied a channel to send red envelopes to employees.
This seems to have become Gao Yuan's routine.
After the New Year, he resumed work and sent red envelopes to employees to make up for the New Year's blessings.
The old rules are a red envelope of one thousand yuan per person.
These red envelopes have been packed.
Every time an employee comes in, the red envelope will be distributed to them.
There are 200,000 to 300,000 employees at the headquarters of Yuanfang Group today. Gao Yuan naturally cannot send everyone to the right place. In this way, he can't send them all in one day.
Most employees' opening bonuses will be deposited into their salary cards.
Some employees filmed this scene and posted it online.
Instantly, this video went viral.
Gao Yuan is a video heater. As long as Gao Yuan appears in a video, the number of likes and views cannot be low.
"Boss Gao is giving out money again? I regret it! I should have joined Yuanfang Group directly after graduating from college. Yuanfang Group was still in the process of development at that time, so I thought I should join another company."
"I didn't expect that the company I joined has gone bankrupt. Yuanfang Group is now thriving and has become an existence that I can't reach."
"Boss Gao is awesome. It would be great if I could join Yuanfang Group. He gives out money all the time. Boss Gao is the most generous boss I have ever seen."
"By the way, when will Yuanfang Group's campus recruitment start this year? I also want to participate in this year's campus recruitment."
"Don't even think about it. Yuanfang Group's campus recruitment is only for 985 colleges and some 211 colleges. With your academic qualifications, how could they possibly hire you?"
"Gan, if I don't join Yuanfang Group's headquarters, can't I go to Yuanfang City to screw in screws? I have a college degree, so I am qualified to join the factory, right?"
"..."
In the video comment area, those netizens talked a lot.
More and more people want to work in Yuanfang Group, but it's a pity that Yuanfang Group's recruitment is becoming more and more strict.
It is difficult to enter Yuanfang Group with ordinary academic qualifications.
You can only rely on social recruitment, but social recruitment is more difficult than campus recruitment.
When recruiting socially, you are basically required to have work experience or experience in large projects. If you don’t have it, you can’t even pass the resume screening.
Yuanfang Group has more than one million employees, and there is still a large gap at present.
But relatively speaking, there is no longer such a shortage of people, after the crazy expansion period.
So when recruiting people, we will be very selective, gradually raise the recruitment threshold, set resumes based on academic qualifications, and further screen through multiple rounds of interviews. (End of this chapter)
