New Year's Eve, this festival that countless Chinese people have been looking forward to has finally arrived.

No matter how much suffering you had before, you can let it go for now.

No matter how unpleasant things happen, let’s wait until this new year is over before talking about it.

In the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers was already heard on the street.

Pedestrians passing by were all in a hurry, eager to go home.

Those who are still at work are already absent-minded.

Who doesn’t want to go home early and spend a happy New Year’s Eve with the family?

There are still patrols here, and the Chinese patrols have become a lot more friendly today.

No matter what, during the Chinese New Year, no one should make anyone feel uncomfortable, right?

"Assistant Wu, don't forget to have New Year's Eve dinner at home tonight."

Meng Shaoyuan gave a special reminder when he left.

Wu Jingyi said "hmm".

Wu Jingyi and her family usually get together during the Chinese New Year, but this year is different. Her husband and children are all in Hong Kong.

For the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Meng Shaoyuan invited not many people.

After all, those brothers and sisters are fighting on the front lines.

I don’t know when everyone will be able to get together in a down-to-earth manner again.

Before the Chinese New Year next year, we must get them all back in advance.

Annual fees have been distributed to each agent. Regardless of whether these agents are able to go home or not, at least their families can have a settled year.

"I'm going back first, remember, 6 o'clock."

Just when Meng Shaoyuan was about to leave, Wu Jingyi suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have a small gift for you. Think of it as a New Year gift."

Is there such a good thing?

Wu Jingyi took the initiative to give herself a gift?

God has opened his eyes.

"Bring it in."

Wu Jingyi gave an order and the "gift" she gave to Meng Shaoyuan was brought in.

That's a person.

Someone whom Meng Shaoyuan knew!

Liu Fuqin!

Field staff at Shanghai Railway Station!

This is the man who betrayed himself.

An inconspicuous little person almost made it impossible for the famous Meng Shaoyuan to come back alive.

Kneeling on the ground, Liu Fuqin's whole body was shaking.

"Raise your head." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Do you know me?"

"I know... I know you. You are Director Meng. You have given us training in the field."

"Yes, I gave you a lecture." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "I gave you a lecture at the beginning, asking you to do well and contribute more to this country and the nation. I especially told you not to be a traitor. Do you remember this?

It hurt my face and didn’t remember my words.”

"Director Meng, I, I don't know what you mean..." Liu Fuqin said tremblingly.

"You know." Meng Shaoyuan patted his head: "Originally, I didn't need to waste so much words with you, but today is New Year's Eve, I'm in a good mood, and I'll talk to you a few more words. Let's go on the road with peace of mind.

Well, remember not to be a traitor again in your next life."

"Director Meng, Director Meng..." Liu Fuqin shouted heartbreakingly.

But, it's too late...

…

"Here's a pound of pork head and a portion of the sauced belly."

Meng Shaoyuan came to the stewed vegetable restaurant, and while lighting it, he said: "It's the Chinese New Year, but the shop is still open?"

"Oh, boss, in this world, you just want to hide and make a few bucks." The shop owner smiled and skillfully cut the stewed vegetables: "Besides, I am alone in Shanghai, and when I close the door, I am a family, so I can make some of my own.

With braised vegetables and a drink of wine, isn’t this the end of the year?”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Pay attention to safety."

"thank you boss."

Lu Cai A Wu, whose real name is Shi Xiaoli, is 44 years old, from Yantai, Shandong Province, and works in the field of military command.

Meng Shaoyuan looked to the side, took out two packs of cigarettes from his bag, and put them in: "It's the Chinese New Year, take it and smoke it, foreign cigarettes, it's very exciting."

Lu Cai Ah Wu didn't say a word, just nodded silently.

His nose was a little sore.

His wife and children are all in Shandong, and he is alone in Shanghai. He could go back once a year to reunite with his wife and children, but this year is special and all agents have canceled their vacations.

Are you saying he doesn’t want a wife and children? That’s false.

Director Meng is such a high official, but he has no airs about the brothers. He is not here to buy braised vegetables, but just takes this opportunity to express condolences to the brothers.

It's worth working your life for a boss like this.

Many times, two hundred thousand dollars can't buy friendship. But sometimes, a cigarette or a word is enough to make people work for them.

"Boss, it's wrapped for you."

Meng Shaoyuan took the stewed vegetables, smiled slightly, turned and left.

There are still some places to go.

Those who are still sticking to their posts during the Chinese New Year must express their condolences...

…

After a round trip, it was almost 5 o'clock when we got home.

Before I even entered the house, I heard noise coming from inside.

Most of them were arguing in English, with occasional Shanghainese curses thrown in.

No need to think about it, Alao and Butler Qiu.

These two people were probably living enemies and mortal enemies in their previous lives.

Meng Shaoyuan's head was so big.

After pushing the door open and seeing the owner coming back, Alao immediately complained in a barrage of complaints, to the effect that it was okay for Butler Qiu to come so early, but he was so picky about his work that it was simply unreasonable.

The problem is, Butler Qiu also has his own good reasons.

He is Mrs. Qiangwei's housekeeper, and Mrs. Qiangwei also received an invitation today. Although Butler Qiu personally strongly opposes it, how can he interfere in matters decided by the wife?

Of course, he must come in advance to check the environmental hygiene and the quality of the food.

But this is exactly what Aarau is most taboo about.

He is the master's butler, and he should have the final say here. Any so-called inspection is a serious distrust of himself, which is unforgivable.

Not enough words to speculate.

The two people quickly developed from sarcasm and accusation to quarrel.

"Alao, go do your thing. The guests are coming soon." Meng Shaoyuan put the things in his hands on the table, opened the oil paper bag, took out the sauced pork belly inside and ate a piece: "Steward Qiu, want some?"

"Thank you, I never eat this kind of food. It's extremely unhygienic." Butler Qiu frowned in disgust: "Also, I suggest that you don't give this kind of food to Madam at the dining table."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care at all, but ate with gusto: "Steward Qiu, is your lord your wife the first-grade imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty?"

Butler Qiu was startled.

What does it mean?

"This is such an unworldly look." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and poured a cup of tea: "Even if it is really Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, she has to eat what she should eat, and she should have diarrhea. I don't believe she eats it.

Can what comes out of the whole grains be jade tree wine?"

Butler Qiu was completely stunned.

Of course he knew that Meng Shaoyuan was rude, but he never expected that he would be so rude.

"Both of them were raised by their biological father. No one is more noble than the other. The cart puller can eat it, the shoe shiner can eat it, but why can't you and your wife eat it?" Meng Shaoyuan grabbed another piece of pig with his bare hands.

His ears were stuffed into his mouth: "You, you are used to living a good life, and you think of yourself as a superior person, but this is the only thing we inferior people are greedy for."

Butler Qiu was furious again. Every time he talked to Meng Shaoyuan, he would be furious.
