Zhang Tan stayed in Peiping for five days, and Huo Xuyong finally told him that Zhongxuan Company had decided to start the project and could start preparatory work.
Zhang Tan returned to Pujiang and registered Xiaohongma Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. He found that he didn't have enough money and had to work harder.
There is currently no one else in this company except Zhang Tan. It is a leather company. Through his own connections, Zhang Tan hired a certified public accountant as a consultant, who is affiliated with the company, and the others are all the same as the comic studio.
Two brands, one set of people.
After the company's staff is fully staffed, we will consider becoming completely independent.
That night, Zhang Tan was making dinner when Xiaobai came, holding her fish maw glass bottle and moving her little hands in and out of it.
"What are we going to eat?" Zhang Tan asked while standing on the balcony.
Xiaobai walked in circles under the mulberry tree, looking up at the balcony from time to time. Finally, she was asked to wait for Boss Zhang, and she happily raised the fish maw glass bottle and offered to treat him to boiled peanuts.
"Come up quickly." Zhang Tan said.
Xiaobai ran up with the glass bottle in her arms. The door was open. She looked for her little shoes on the shoe rack, but she couldn't find them.
"嘤嘤嘤~~~Xiaobai's little shoes?"
"The pink pair with the little princess pattern is yours. They are a new pair of shoes. I prepared them especially for you."
Xiaobai noticed the pair of little princess slippers mentioned by Boss Zhang at a glance, and asked happily: "Are they for Xiaobai?"
"This is specially prepared for you, quickly put it on and take a look."
"Hoo ho ho~~~ It's so good."
Xiaobai wears it just right, but she still misses the old pair.
"You can't wear those little shoes anymore. Your feet are getting bigger and the shoes aren't enough for you."
In short, Xiaobai has grown up. Not only his shoes don’t fit, but his clothes don’t fit either and he needs new ones.
Zhang Tan went to Peking on a business trip and brought gifts to Xiaobai, including several sets of small clothes.
"How do you plan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival? Has your uncle told you?" Zhang Tan asked pretending to be casual.
Xiaobai was sitting on a small stool, with a water basin in front of him, and his little hands were pulling in it, like two sets of small carp flapping about.
"What is the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xiaobai asked innocently.
"It's the day when the moon is particularly round, which is the day after tomorrow."
"A day when the moon is particularly round?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully, and then he remembered, "It's a day when we eat moon cakes."
"Yes, that's the day. What are your plans?"
Children are more attentive to food.
"Hoo ho ho, let's go see my aunt." Xiaobai said happily, blah blah blah, I'm looking forward to going to Kuancheng to visit my aunt and Xiaobai.
Bai Jianping had already asked her whether she wanted to stay in Pujiang and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the children in Xiaohongmali, or go to Qicheng to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her aunt.
Not surprisingly, Xiaobai chose to go to Qicheng.
Ma Lanhua was right. This kind of inquiry was just a formality. You could know Xiaobai's choice by just thinking about it.
"Boss Zhang, what are you doing?"
"Me? I'm spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at Little Red Horse."
"Where are your parents?" When Xiaobai asked this, his face became a little serious, as if he had a premonition that Boss Zhang's next words would be very heavy.
"They've all passed away."
Sure enough, Xiaobai's face darkened and he looked very serious, and looked at Zhang Tan with pity in his eyes.
"Boss Zhang, don't be sad."
"I'm not sad."
"My parents passed away too."
"..."
"Grandma said that when our parents pass away, they will become stars in the sky, watching us and protecting us every night."
"Really? Thank you for comforting me like this."
"Yes, it's true."
"I believe it's true."
"Boss Zhang, are you alone during the Mid-Autumn Festival? You are so generous, I don't even know how to coax you."
"..." Zhang Tan smiled and said, "How about you stay and celebrate the festival with me."
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Boss Zhang, please stop joking, ho ho ho ho."
"Okay, okay, no kidding, have you washed the shrimps? Don't play with water."
"Hehe." Xiaobai handed the shrimps to Zhang Tan and went to the living room to play.
Zhang Tan looked at the shrimps in the bamboo basket. He wanted to make Longjing shrimps, but he was not interested anymore, so he poured them all into the pot and made a simple and direct fried shrimps in oil.
When Bai Jianping came to take Xiaobai home in the evening, he met Zhang Tan who was drinking tea with Lao Li in the yard. He took the initiative to chat and talked about the arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
He seemed to have said accidentally: "It's quite troublesome to go to Qicheng. It takes several hours by car. There will definitely be a lot of people during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I really don't want to run around, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family must be reunited, so either
Xiaobai and I went to Chucheng, or Lao Ma, Xiaoqiang and the others came to Pujiang. Considering that Xiaobai was only a few months old, we had to go there. I specifically asked Xiaobai if he wanted to stay in Pujiang or go with him.
I left together. She said she missed her aunt and Xiao Xiaobai and wanted to leave together..."
This was meant for Zhang Tan, who smiled and said: "Listen to Xiaobai's opinion, she can do whatever she wants."
After Bai Jianping left with Xiaobai and Xi'er, Lao Li filled Zhang Tan's cup with tea.
Zhang Tan said: "Old Li, it seems that we will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together again this year."
Lao Li laughed and said disdainfully: "I don't have time to accompany you this year, you can live it by yourself."
"Isn't it? Do you have any other plans? Call auntie here too."
"That won't work either." Old Li looked extremely arrogant.
Zhang Tan retorted, "You're not going to dance in the square, are you?"
Lao Li picked up the tea cup and drank tea, making a sizzling sound until he finished the tea in the cup. Then he put down the cup and said, "My daughter is back, and our family will be reunited."
"Oh, no wonder, congratulations. Oh, by the way, are there anything valuable in your room?"
"ah?"
Zhang Tan pointed to the guard box and said, "I mean, have you put anything untouchable there?"
"What do you mean? My babies are all in there."
"Then why didn't you close the door? Hurry, I don't know if it's too late, I just saw Dudu sneak in."
"What?!!!" Lao Li suddenly stood up, "It's a shame you didn't tell me earlier!"
He strode over and started running immediately, but unfortunately he was still a few steps too late. Dudu jumped out of the room right in front of him, and ran away in a flash. She was holding something in her arms. It was too dark.
I can't see clearly, but there must be something hidden.
Zhang Tan didn't know whether Dudu was caught by Lao Li in the end. He left the Little Red Horse and went to sit in a bar on West Chang'an Street. It was almost early morning when he returned home. The Little Red Horse Academy was empty and very quiet.
, Lao Li was sitting in the guard box watching TV. He seemed to have calmed down.
The lights in the classroom on the first floor were turned off, and it was dark in the middle of winter. There was a faint warm light in the dormitory on the second floor, and a few children were still there.
Zhang Tan asked Teacher Xiaoliu and learned that Ding Xiaohai and Luo Zikang were among them.
"Aunt Huang and I discussed that the kindergarten will find two more teachers soon. Then you won't have to work the night shift and go back to rest early."
Teacher Xiaoliu is several months pregnant, and the child in her belly is important.
Teacher Xiaoliu said thank you.
Zhang Tan came to the third floor. The sensor light in the corridor was on. There was a rag doll at the door. It was a little beauty. There was also a small note. The note said: Boss Zhang gives you a little doll to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you.
