Ye Shaofeng basically has no real friends in the capital.
He knows quite a few people here, and has mutual interests with quite a few people. However, what connects Ye Shaofeng to these people is just a bond of interest, not any sincere friendship.
Although logically speaking, the capital is Ye Shaofeng's true roots, Ye Shaofeng has never been able to integrate himself into it. Every time he comes to the capital, the place he wants to stay is definitely not the Ye family, but the club opened by Wang Zheng. in.
Here, the brotherly relationship with Wang Zheng seems to be much deeper than the family relationship between Ye Shaofeng and the Ye family.
Today is New Year's Eve. The streets of Beijing, which used to be lively, bustling, and crowded with traffic, are now extremely deserted. A few vehicles are driving unimpeded on the streets, and there are no people in the buses and subway stations.
Such a prosperous metropolis suddenly became a ghost town. The migrant workers all returned to their hometowns, and many locals in the capital took this opportunity to travel.
It is no exaggeration to say that the number of people in the capital has suddenly decreased by two-thirds, and the entire city is deserted. Many small shops opened by outsiders on the streets have been closed. Only some large supermarkets and shopping malls are still open. It is open for business, but even so, the number of customers inside has decreased a lot, and there are not as many people as there were on Christmas Eve.
Ye Shaofeng drove Liu Hongxing to Ye's house in his car.
Li Zhiqi stayed in Wang Zheng's guild hall to celebrate the New Year alone. For this woman, it was indeed quite pitiful, but for the sake of her future, she had no choice but to do this.
This year, all units will not have a holiday on New Year's Eve, and Li Zhiqi has no chance to rest. Moreover, she has just joined CCTV. Today is the busiest time for CCTV as a whole. Therefore, he, the newcomer, has also been put to use and joined in the busy schedule. Among the staff, this kind of busyness can also alleviate some of Li Zhiqi's desire for the reunion dinner.
Today is also a big day for the Ye family. In fact, the thirtieth day of every year is a big day for the Ye family, or for all wealthy nobles.
Because this day is the year-end summary day within the family, and on this day, some development directions and development plans for the coming year will be formulated.
In ordinary people's homes, it is a family gathering, but in this kind of wealthy and aristocratic family, it all becomes a family meeting.
Especially for a wealthy family like the Ye family, if just a few members get together, they might be able to form a Politburo meeting or a National People's Congress group discussion.
These family members all hold high positions and are quite prominent in the entire country. Therefore, for ordinary people, such a day is a great reunion for the whole family, but for the Ye family and these central For wealthy families, this is not a time to have a reunion dinner, but a time to work hard for their status in the family.
On this day, the doors of all the wealthy and aristocratic houses were crowded with people.
Many officials from below or people from all walks of life who are related to the family will come to pay New Year greetings. They say they are paying New Year greetings, but they are actually giving gifts based on connections.
Since the country has promulgated the Eight Principles this year, fewer and fewer people are visiting to give gifts because of their connections. However, that is only for officials below.
For a truly wealthy family like the Ye family, even if fewer people from the officialdom come, people from the business world and other industries will still come in an endless stream to pay New Year's greetings.
Ye Shaofeng drove smoothly on the road, but after approaching the gate of Ye's house, the traffic began to jam. Almost all kinds of luxury vehicles drove towards the gate of Ye's house. Just looking at the license plate number, there were some from foreign companies, some with military license plates, and some There are government vehicles and too many out-of-town vehicles.
Moreover, the cars that came were basically all luxury cars. Ye Shaofeng drove such a domestic car costing more than 300,000 yuan and squeezed it into the slowly moving convoy. It was indeed a bit pricey.
However, at this time, no one cares about whose car is good and whose car is bad. What matters is who can finally enter the Ye Mansion.
During the Chinese New Year last year, when Ye Shaofeng returned to the Ye family, he actually encountered this situation. There were too many people coming to give gifts, so there was a dedicated receptionist at the gate of the Ye family.
Most people will go directly to an external reception building on the left side of the gate to wait. People who enter there will basically not see the Ye family. At most, they can put their gifts somewhere and leave their names. In this way, you are considered a character who has completed this trip.
A very small number of people can be invited into the main building of the Ye family after asking for instructions from the people above. After entering the main building, there are several reception rooms there. At this time, you only need to tell them who you are looking for. The reception staff We will arrange the specific time and frequency of the meeting for you. In fact, basically, the specific time of the reception is controlled to about five minutes.
The above mentioned are all ordinary people, and there are also some people invited by the Ye family. After entering the gate, a receptionist will lead you directly to the right intersection of the three-way intersection, so that they can see you directly. The person you want to meet.
Last time, Ye Shaofeng basically followed the procedures to enter the Ye family. This time, Ye Shaofeng did not notify anyone, so he could only follow the procedures.
The car finally drove through the gate. At this time, I saw many receptionists in front directing the car.
When it was Ye Shaofeng's car's turn to undergo security inspection, the receptionist outside had a clear change in his eyes.
That mechanized and numb expression seemed to suddenly have emotions.
This is not because they think Ye Shaofeng drives a bad car. What is reflected in their eyes is definitely not contempt, but double respect.
The receptionist helped Ye Shaofeng open the car door. Ye Shaofeng did not recognize him, but the man had a photo in his hand. After looking at the photo twice, he immediately became serious, saluted Ye Shaofeng, and shouted: "Hello, Third Young Master,"
Ye Shaofeng was quite surprised at that time, thinking that he had never seen him before, so how could he know this kid?
Looking at the photo in this kid's hand, I happened to have one of myself in it. It seemed that people in the family had already explained it.
"Third Young Master, please go this way. Go straight ahead and you will arrive directly at the residence of Chief Jianhong," the servant said to Ye Shaofeng.
Ye Shaofeng nodded and said, "I still remember the general route. Thank you for your hard work. Happy New Year."
Ye Shaofeng showed the demeanor of a general. After getting in the car, several staff members immediately stood at attention, saluted Ye Shaofeng's car, and then watched Ye Shaofeng drive past a wide road that led directly to the interior of Ye's house...
