All the employees of Lou's Group are eagerly looking forward to the next day's annual meeting.Not looking forward to eating and drinking, nor singing and dancing, but a lottery at the annual meeting.

Starting from the smallest participation award, almost everyone has a prize, and all employees have a prize, but it is not allowed to win the prize repeatedly. The first participation prize can screen out [-]% of the employees in the company.

Guan He was "survived" from the first round of lottery. He heard frustrated voices from left and right, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy that he didn't win the prize.

There were more than a dozen people in the secretarial department, and there were only four "survivors". With the two secretaries who didn't come and You Han who didn't know where to go, the colleagues felt that their table would be wiped out.

As the party progressed, more and more awards were announced, and the remaining lucky ones gradually surfaced.

Guan He was lucky enough to stay in the penultimate round, the second prize, a metal watch of a brand he had never heard of, but judging from the expressions around him, he was very envious.

But Guan He was in a complicated mood holding the watch. He knew that the award had been prepared long ago, but after last night, Lou Yuelin specially proposed to give him a watch, and he was not so sure whether winning the prize was due to luck.

He returned to his seat, and his colleagues asked him why he didn't seem very happy to win the second prize?

Guan He said: "I really want to win the first prize."

Everyone wanted to win the first prize, but was finally won by an old employee of the finance department.

The old employee looked gentle, and when he came to the stage to accept the award, he hugged and cried when he saw the little robot, crying and howling, saying that he wanted to surprise his wife.

Guan He finally returned to the villa with the prize, and at this time, some people had already started packing their things and leaving.

Because he made an appointment with Zhang Le late, their aircraft was scheduled until the afternoon of the third day.

This night, the villa was a bit noisy.Some people packed their bags and left, some said they would see each other at the company after the Chinese New Year, and some were still yelling whether they should play board games all night.

And Guan He put the two watches together on the bedside table, hugged the quilt and fell asleep hard.In fact, he is not tired at all, he is very excited, what makes him more happy than winning the lottery is that he is belatedly happy for Lou Yuelin.

Guan He thought that maybe he would be useless after watching it, and would never follow the story in the plot. Although he was a little afraid of the unknown future, no matter what happened, could it be worse than the ending in the plot? ?Not anymore!

The next day, Guan He and Zhang Le met by the aircraft and went back to the apartment together.

Good neighbor Qi Xingsheng came back half a day earlier than the two of them, and was responsible for going to the supermarket to buy the ingredients Guan He needed.

Neither of them knew what dinner Guan He had prepared, and seeing the combination of meat, vegetables, and mushrooms, they couldn't figure it out.

Guan He said: "The best match for the Chinese New Year atmosphere is to eat hot pot, of course!"

Even after a hundred years, hot pot, a long-lasting delicacy in the world, still has a large audience.

Zhang Le and Qi Xingsheng also eat it, but they have only eaten it twice in the past 20 years. Firstly, it is too troublesome to prepare, and secondly, there is usually no time to sit by the hot pot and eat for two or three hours.

Guan He understands that contemporary people are too busy, eating in a hurry, and not finishing three meals within half an hour is like wasting life.But today is different. These two difficult problems can be dealt with one by one.

In terms of understanding, Guan He also thinks that hot pot is the most convenient thing for lazy people to eat. After all, there is no need to cook it. If there is no requirement for spiciness, just make a clear soup base.He really didn't expect that after so many years, people's thinking about hot pot is completely opposite, and it has become synonymous with trouble.

Zhang Le was saying to Qi Xingsheng that he only won the participation prize, but Guan He was lucky to win the second prize!This time he won't let him cook and invite us to dinner!

Guan He wondered if he should make them an insanely spicy soup base, so hot that he couldn't speak at all.

After the pot was brought to the table, together with the seasoning specially prepared by Guan He, he hadn't even started to eat it yet, and the smell of the aroma already made people's index fingers tremble.

This opening chapter is Le holding a beer can, as if to make a long speech, but all he opens his mouth is: "Wish us a happy year ahead! Everyone makes a lot of money!"

Qi Xingsheng gave him a disgusted look, "Can you still have some lofty ambitions?"

Zhang Le thought seriously, "Does world peace count?"

Guan He hugged the drink and nodded, "Forget it, forget it."

He can't wait to get started, he hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, there are fat lamb, shrimp dumplings, egg dumplings, fish balls... how can he do without chopsticks!

The sky outside the window was dark, but it was the most lively start of the day.

The show started to be broadcast on TV, Guan He asked them if the show would really be broadcast live all night for eight hours and not end until dawn?

Zhang Le looked at him with complicated eyes, "Of course! Haven't you seen it before? Hey, it's nothing... Yes, it will be like this every Chinese New Year, and there will be two fireworks shows in a while! It's actually the mecha in the middle of the party The acting took up too much time."

"Why doesn't it look good?" Guan He asked anxiously, after all, this is what he was looking forward to.

Qi Xingsheng shook his head, "No, it's quite beautiful. People who like to watch it like it very much, but those who don't like it think it's a row of robots dancing."

Guan He is anxious about this comment, he has seen not all kinds of works about mechas (except pornographic films), but he has never seen mechas dancing!

He asked, "Mech dancing...is it good?"

This question overwhelmed the two people in front of me. In the end, it boiled down to waiting for you to read it.

And not only the mech show, but also the fireworks awards.

Guan He once read in a book that the coverage of fireworks can be extended to the entire city.

Not to mention that after he came here, he realized that this city was not the city he had imagined before.The city here is more like an urban agglomeration, with each commercial work area as the center, radiating around, and the jurisdiction is more like the previous province.

In this case, how big are the fireworks? !The more Guan He thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, and he almost lost the mood to eat hot pot.

The content of the evening party on TV is similar to that of the past, with song and dance works and language works interspersed with each other.At eight o'clock in the evening, when the show host announced in a high voice that the next mecha performance session would begin, Guan He immediately put down his chopsticks and turned to look at the big TV screen in the living room.

I saw the screen switch to a place that looks like an airport. The wide flat ground is brightly lit. A row of high-tech and advanced mechs stand in front of them. On the opposite side is a three-story stage. It's Su Shuo, the Mech Command of their Capital District.

Just when Guan He thought that Zheng Yu, the chief mecha master in the country, would control one of the mechas, when the next camera shot passed, he saw Zheng Yu sitting in the row below.

Zhang Le explained to him that the drivers who participated in the performance were the ones who were responsible for the promotion, and those like Zheng Yu who had to go to the battlefield to participate in actual combat would definitely not perform.

Guan He thinks about it too, since there is a specialization in surgery, Zheng Yu must be manipulating mechas with guns and live ammunition.

Thinking about it this way, he remembered that Lou Yuelin had told him that his spiritual control mecha was already in his home, so could it also be equipped with various strike weapons?No way? !

But Guan He really opened his eyes. It was the first time he saw such a physical mech changing so many queues in the sky, as if it was controlled by one person.

He recalled the previous works, most of which were controlled by each other. The only time he saw so many tacit mechs was in "Iron Man [-]", but unfortunately they all exploded in the end, which made him feel very sad.

Guan He pointed to the TV and asked the two good neighbors, "Is there really anyone here? Could it be controlled by artificial intelligence?"

Zhang Le did a lot of research on this, and said: "That's not enough, artificial intelligence will also be hacked by others. How can such an important department of the Mech Department be faked by others? But I remember trying to use artificial intelligence at the beginning. Smart, right?"

Guan He asked curiously: "How is the effect?"

Zhang Le shook her head, "The effect is not good, it's too simple, even if the AI ​​is used to control the mecha now, the effect is not good, so the best thing now is to train mecha pilots."

Guan He asked: "Haven't you thought about taking the mech pilot exam?"

On the contrary, Qi Xingsheng, who was sitting by the side, laughed, "He can't bear hardship!"

Zhang Le hurriedly retorted, "That's not it! I just... I just think that there are more beautiful jobs in this world that I haven't tried yet, right..."

Guan He heard Qi Xingsheng explain to him that it is very troublesome to be admitted to the Mech Academy. He has to go for an interview at the age of 12, take a trial for 3 years, and take the unified examination at the age of 15. If he is admitted, he has to train in the simulation cabin for 3 years. There is a physical training test, and it is possible to be eliminated every day because it fails.It is said that Zhang Le passed the interview back then, but was eliminated in the end because of poor physical fitness during the trial.

Zhang Le added: "I'm just a little weak in physical strength. I didn't know so much at that time. When I want to practice later, it's too late, so forget it."

Therefore, Guan He thought to himself, not to mention selecting one of the reserve mecha pilots from so many people, but going through layers of selection, going through a lot of hardships, and finally becoming a real pilot. Excellent person?

When watching it before, Guan He felt sorry for Lou Yuelin when he was forced to come back to take over the Lou family, but he was far from the pain he felt when he saw the finale.However, thinking about it now, Guan He felt even more heartbroken than before. He knew it would be nothing but if he could see Lou Yuelin now, he really wanted to give Lou Yuelin a hug.

The mecha show on TV was just the beginning, and in Guan He's opinion, it was even more exciting than the military parade.

And the fireworks awards that followed made him speechless in shock, especially when he learned that fireworks were placed on every building, he wanted to go directly to the top of the building to have a look.

But Qi Xingsheng told him regretfully, "Only the roofs of buildings that are not dazzled can go up, and we will definitely not be able to go up now."

So, Guan He and his neighbors stood on the balcony, watching the huge fireworks that were almost close at hand, some from the roof of his own building, and some from the roofs of other tall buildings not far away.No wonder the whole city will be surrounded by fireworks, and now it looks like the whole city has fallen into the fireworks pool, making people dazzled.

Finally, after the nearby fireworks were over, Guan He returned to the living room. The TV broadcasted live fireworks from other cities. The same splendor and variety kept his eyes glued to him.Guan He wondered how much it would cost?But I also thought that the wealth Lou's created every year is enough for them to set off fireworks every day.

After watching the fireworks, it was almost 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. They added some ingredients to the soup pot, cooked the second pot, and continued to eat their midnight hot pot supper.

In particular, the seasoning made by Guan He made the two of them full of praise, and they all expressed that there would be a public holiday for the next [-] days, and they hoped to eat hot pot every day.Guan He began to seriously decide whether to make them a perverted spicy hot pot.

But Qi Xingsheng gave them bad news. He could only rest for three days on this public holiday, and he wanted to go out with his mentor to gather folk songs.

Qi Xingsheng worked hard as an assistant in an interior design studio, and his salary was not high. He had to follow his mentor wherever he took him, even if he was on vacation.Others would have resigned long ago, but Qi Xingsheng said that the newly hired mentor is well-known in the industry, so he would go even if he had no money.

Guan He understood his thoughts and encouraged him to work hard, so Qi Xingsheng robbed him of hot pot dinners for three days, otherwise he would feel uneasy going out to work.

Guan He thought to himself, aren't you trying to win more meals for Zhang Le?Bamboo horses are amazing, huh?Help him like this?But Guan He thought that the ingredients would be provided by the other party anyway, and he just spent a little effort, and he could still have a good meal, which is pretty good.

After eating hot pot for three nights in a row, Guan He made a different soup base every time to feed the other party to his heart's content.

Qi Xingsheng left the apartment on the fourth day with his bag on his back, and Zhang Le was left waiting for Guan He to cook and feed him every day. Guan He was thinking that even Lou Yuelin had never eaten my cooking!It's a pity that even if he wanted to do it, he didn't have that chance.

That night, Guan He returned to cooking ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the two of them sat in the living room while eating and watching TV, from soap operas to the night news.

Lou's was suddenly mentioned in the news, causing Guan He and Zhang Le to stop at the same time.

According to the news, the reporter found out that Lou's Group was reported recently, and people from the supervisory agency entered the company to investigate. This is the first time that Lou Yuelin has been investigated after becoming the president of the company. The resources of the government, especially last year's strong cooperation with Rong's, seem to the outside world to be the beginning of an economic monopoly, which is of no benefit to the domestic economy, and so on.

Guan He turned to look at Zhang Le, and Zhang Le also looked at him.

Zhang Le looked confused and asked, "Is something wrong with the company?"

Guan He knew what was going on and couldn't say anything, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Le said: "That's right! Didn't it be good at the annual meeting before? The first prize is a robot, so you can give it away..."

Guan He glanced at him, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, wanted to contact Lou Yuelin quickly, but didn't dare to disturb him at this time.

Most of the time, he always waited for Lou Yuelin to contact him, and always listened to him saying that he was fine.

At this time, Zhang Le also seemed to have no appetite, and said, "It seems to be quite serious after watching the news. The company should be fine, right?"

Guan He nodded, "I believe Mr. Lou, he will be fine!"

Zhang Le clenched his fists, "That's right! Mr. Lou is here! Mr. Lou was so good in the military academy before, and he must be very good as the boss now! Do you think this reporter is exaggerating? Does he want to bring out every trivial matter? Say? This year has just passed, won't Lou's give them money? Still can't stop their mouths?"

Guan He coughed dryly, he thought that the news just said that Lou might use improper means to do some things, now you are saying this to prove that Lou's methods are not clean?

Perhaps Zhang Le himself realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly said: "I'm talking nonsense, no, how could Lou's do such a thing. But... hey, you know our marketing department, in order to expand business, sometimes Also...that's what..."

"What?" Guan He asked him.

Zhang Le sighed, "It's not just about entertaining guests and accompanying drinks. Although I don't do it, my boss will do it. It's stressful if we can't talk about it, so we can only go a bit heresy."

Although Guan He understands it, he doesn’t support it, let alone let You Han get caught because of the unspoken rules you created. The laws and regulations in today’s world are strict. It seemed safe to do so by chance, mainly because he did not meet You Han, and now that he was exposed and the evidence was found, no one could escape.

Seeing Guan He looking at her with complicated eyes, Zhang Le was a little nervous, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Guan He shook his head first, thinking that although the truth cannot be fully revealed, there is no need to cause people to panic. He patted Zhang Le on the shoulder and said: "It is impossible for such a big company to have no problems at all. The investigators are also clear. I have a guess. You said that the Lou Group has been established for so many years, has it not been investigated? Why was there no news before, and now it is said to be investigated after the Chinese New Year. Why do I feel... like Has the company arranged it?"

Zhang Le was puzzled, "Why did the company arrange for the supervisory agency to investigate itself?"

Guan He added emphatically: "Good question! I guess... Mr. Lou did it on purpose! He must be aware of the problem in the company. Instead of being exposed, it is better to self-examine! Are you right?"

Zhang Le shook her head, "I don't know."

Guan He made a final decision, "It must be so! Our Lou Boss is really daring! The courage to introspect is definitely not comparable to the bosses of other enterprise groups!"

Zhang Le seemed to be encouraged, "It seems to make sense?"

Guan He said again: "As long as the boss doesn't say anything, we don't know. Can such a big company be shut down after being investigated by them? We have just started to cooperate with Rong's, and there are even better things to come." future!"

As soon as the words fell, after the news report finished, Lou talked about Rong, and said that according to reliable sources, they couldn't even get in touch with the president of Rong recently, and if there is any specific news, they will continue to broadcast it to everyone.

Guan He looked at the news with a confused face, who made the news!I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic!How can you do this!Mr. Lou has been very annoying and tired recently!Can you stop putting pressure on him!

Now Guan He wished he could sneak into the TV station and delete this report, but it was too late, seeing the ambiguous content of the news broadcast, he didn't know what kind of uproar it would cause.

After the two of them finished eating, they threw the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher, then sat on the sofa and dug out the department work group on their mobile phones to see what everyone said.

Guan He discovered that some people had actually received the news in the afternoon. Thinking about the speed of information dissemination these days, coupled with the high-speed transmission of the Internet, even people who do not use the Internet can now know the news in the group. what's the matter.

Before Guan He could see any new news, the head of the department came forward to make a statement. Everyone is allowed to discuss this matter, but I hope that there will be no rumors. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the company. It is just cooperating with the supervisory agency. I hope everyone can take a calm look at this matter thing.

When the boss speaks, other people naturally dare not speak casually. Many people think it is whitewashing, but more people believe that this is just a small routine investigation, and there is no need to worry about it.

Guan He was also worried at first, but during the next week's public holiday, Guan He received text messages from Lou Yuelin every morning and evening, telling him that he was fine and don't worry.

He once sent a message asking Lou Yuelin, why would the media broadcast it, and clearly said that during the investigation period, the media could not investigate or broadcast it?

Lou Yuelin told him that the people from Rong's side broke the news, mainly aimed at Rong Jingtian, but Lou's target is big and it is easy to become the target of public criticism.

He also said that he had read the news, and judging from the content of the broadcast, it was considered restraint, especially the reports in the last two days, which were clearly talking to the two groups, indicating that the TV station had received warnings from the authorities, and they It was broadcast for several days in order to have a follow-up explanation, and they dared not broadcast it starting tomorrow.

So on the fifth day of the public holiday, Guan He went to check it out, and found that all the news about the two major groups stayed at yesterday, and the TV news stopped broadcasting this matter, as if this matter had already been resolved.

However, no matter what the outside world says, the employees of the company are still very concerned about this matter. They are afraid that they will find out that the company has decided to start laying off employees after the Chinese New Year. This is terrible!In order to show their loyalty, some employees voluntarily go back to work overtime before the holiday is over, even without overtime pay.

Hearing about this incident, Guan He couldn't help feeling restless, thinking about whether he should also work overtime, but the secretary said in the group that no one in the secretarial department is allowed to work overtime in the company, so no one dared to go or ask .

When everyone officially went to work on the first day of the working day, there should have been a burst of joyful atmosphere of "Happy New Year", but this year it was a bit gloomy. In the big environment, no one can be active.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the managers in charge called all the employees, regardless of the number of people, to go to the meeting room for a video conference.

And the host of this video conference is Lou Yuelin, who said that he would respond to the matters that everyone cared about before. I hope everyone can rest assured that Lou's will not have any problems.

Guan He also went there, but when the video conference was about to start, Guan He was suddenly pulled out by Secretary Zhao.

Zhao Yuqi whispered softly, "You go to Mr. Lou's office first."

Guan He was taken aback, wondering if Mr. Lou was having a video conference at this time?What can I do to help?

But he went obediently, and when he opened the door, he saw Lou Yuelin who was all dressed up and ready to go out.

"Come on, follow me." Lou Yuelin ran to grab his wrist.

Guan He asked, "Aren't you in a meeting?"

Lou Yuelin pulled him to the passage on the other side of the office, "That was recorded in advance."

Guan He was shocked, "But where are you going?"

Lou Yuelin said: "I regret to inform you that I will be on unpaid leave from today, and I can only bring one personal assistant with me. We need to leave the company immediately."

Guan He saw Lou Yuelin grinning at him, but he didn't understand at all, what happened to this unpaid leave?What happened when you left the company? !
