"I heard that there will be no countdown event tonight, even the lighting event has been cancelled..."
"Of course, something so serious happened last year, so we definitely won't do it this year, but there are still so many people coming here."
"It's New Year's Eve anyway, and everyone is here to participate voluntarily. Maybe there will be a voluntary New Year's Eve countdown event."
"That's right. I'm just joining in the fun. Anyway, I have nothing to do on New Year's Eve..."
Listening to the discussion around him, the fog in Zhou Dongsheng's mind seemed to be cracked open by a bolt of lightning. He broke into a cold sweat and almost turned around and ran away.
Damn it, in this situation, Zhou Dongsheng finally remembered what happened. Even though people around him said it happened last year, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and search it.
As expected, it is already a thing of the past.
Perhaps it’s because at the beginning of the new year, Zhou Dongsheng focused all his attention on live broadcasting and the stock market, and all he thought about was how to seize this opportunity to make money.
So much so that I didn't even notice this happening.
Even though there is the Internet now, no matter how big an event is, it is impossible for everyone to know it, except for things that are closely related to everyone's life...
Zhou Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful. If... it really was this moment, what choice would he make?
Facing hundreds of thousands of people, it may be difficult for him to turn things around on his own.
If his personal connections could be used, could it have some effect? Zhou Dongsheng didn't know. Obviously, this assumption could not solve the disaster that had already occurred.
He is just a passerby traveling upstream, but he is not a time assassin who can reverse time.
However, for those things that haven't happened yet, maybe he can still do something. Even if he can't turn things around, he can still play a role.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment in his heart. If he insisted on giving himself some meaning, maybe this would be it.
It's just that if he wants to put in more effort, his current accumulation is far from enough. After all, he doesn't want to have only a small amount of enthusiasm but only a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel that his depression was gone, his thoughts were clear, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.
"It's a pity, boss, there are no New Year's Eve activities on the Bund tonight." Li Jiajia naturally didn't know Zhou Dongsheng's inner thoughts, but she felt a little bit regretful about not being able to participate in the New Year's Eve activities on the Bund.
"What a pity. Let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together. We can also countdown to the New Year's Eve with them here. Didn't we say there will be spontaneous activities?"
Zhou Dongsheng felt relieved and said calmly. After letting go of a big stone in his heart, the feeling of hunger in his stomach became extremely strong, making Zhou Dongsheng eager to have a full meal.
Why do you think so much? You only need three meals a day, and then eat when you are full.
"That's right. Boss, let's go eat quickly. We haven't even had time to eat at the event today. We're hungry." Li Jiajia smiled.
The two of them followed the flow of people and came to an old Chinese restaurant on the edge of the Bund that was decorated with the charm of the old magic city. Principal Wang had visited it once before and the taste was indeed unique.
Even Zhou Dongsheng, who couldn't eat fine chaff from mountain pigs, could only admire him, so he was impressed and asked for his contact information.
Unexpectedly, it would come in handy this time. The reserved seat happened to be by the window, which afforded a panoramic view of the lively scenery of the Bund.
Zhou Dongsheng brought Li Jiajia here as usual, but Li Jiajia seemed a little uncomfortable.
In this old magical city-style restaurant, all the customers were well-dressed. On the contrary, she looked a little awkward in her ancient costume, like an actor who had gone to the wrong set.
Stepping into such a high-end place, Li Jiajia suddenly realized the gulf-like gap between herself and her boss...
"Just order whatever you want, just have a meal. The new Chinese cuisine here is based on traditional dishes and is unique. Maybe it can bring some inspiration to your video..."
Zhou Dongsheng introduced it with gusto, and then said: "By the way, I don't drink wine. If you want to drink, just drink it by yourself. No need to be restrained."
As a native of Sichuan and Sichuan, Li Jiajia is not only good at eating spicy food, but also has a talent for drinking. Zhou Dongsheng has seen it with his own eyes, and he still drinks plain.
For Zhou Dongsheng, who cannot drink, he can only lament that women are not inferior to men.
Li Jiajia took a look at the menu, especially the price, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then nodded vigorously, "Okay! I'll drink some!"
If she didn't order some wine, Li Jiajia felt that she would be even more at a loss. She decisively ordered a bottle of white wine and handed the menu to Zhou Dongsheng. At the same time, she quickly picked up the water glass on the side and took a sip.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, and could only order a table of dishes on his own initiative. They were all dishes that he remembered deeply after eating them last time. By the way, he asked the waiter for a bottle of national wine.
Just as Li Jiajia was about to speak, Zhou Dongsheng stretched out his hand to signal, "Don't panic, how about just treating it as a celebration for winning the Best Creative Award?"
"What's more, you are also a little rich woman now. This grand prize has a bonus of 1 million. Have you figured out how to spend it?"
Zhou Dongsheng changed the topic and diverted Li Jiajia's attention, so that he would not be so nervous.
"Ah? Oh, boss, are you really going to give me this money?" Li Jiajia said anxiously, feeling somewhat like he was not getting rewarded for his efforts.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng has always promised that her salary will be paid on time every month, and he has supported all her expenses for making videos without saying a word, and he has not interfered with her creative freedom at all.
Even though she only released a video a few months ago, there was not a word of criticism. Instead, she was advised to work slowly and carefully...
Li Jiajia never believed that pie would fall from the sky, but it really hit her on the head, and she was a little confused. It turns out that there is really such a good thing in the world?
As for the Golden Second Award bonus, Li Jiajia didn't take it seriously, she just thought it was to cooperate with the company for publicity...
"Of course it's true. False propaganda will only be counterproductive. I always do what I say. You don't believe me on this, right?" Zhou Dongsheng joked.
Li Jiajia waved her hands repeatedly, "No, boss, I didn't mean that. It's just that this 1 million is too much, and I don't have much to contribute..."
"I have the final say. Just make your video. I'm still waiting to see the video of you restoring the process of making the Four Treasures of the Study." Zhou Dongsheng interrupted with a wave of his hand and said with a smile.
Li Jiajia nodded heavily, "Don't worry, boss, I won't spend the money indiscriminately. I will keep it for video shooting. With this money, the budget for shooting videos in the future will not be a problem at all!"
"Hey, one code equals one code. The support I originally gave you will not be less, and it will only become stronger in the future. Your value has just not been reflected yet."
"Believe me, in my eyes your value far exceeds your own imagination." Zhou Dongsheng said confidently, as if he was encouraging Li Jiajia casually.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiajia's eyes flashed with excitement, Zhanyan smiled and said: "I believe in the boss!"
After all, I am the boss’s trump card.
Li Jiajia has always remembered this casual joke from Zhou Dongsheng and has been working hard in this direction.

PS: Ahem, after being reminded, I found out that I really remembered the timeline wrong. The editor just reminded me not to write it down. It was just a coincidence, and everyone just pretended that nothing happened.
