Xie Xiaoke checked the calendar on his mobile phone and it was 7 days left to celebrate the New Year, so he booked a flight ticket to Germany after the New Year, which is January 28.

He didn't know before that there was no direct flight from Shencheng to Berlin, so he could only fly to Frankfurt, but it doesn't matter. Germany is not big anyway. Xie Xiaoke looked at the German territory on the Beidou satellite map. It was not very far from Frankfurt to Berlin.

And it was also surprisingly discovered that Chinese people often say that Japan-ben is a small Japan-benzene country, but on the map, there are really few European countries that are larger than Japan-benzene.

After booking the air ticket and having to book a hotel, Xie Xiaoke searched online and booked a hotel called Steigenberger in Berlin Mitte District. It is just not far from Potsdamer Platz, which is convenient to go there to participate in the film festival.

On January 16th, the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, the streets and alleys were filled with a strong atmosphere of New Year. Some employees had already asked for leave in advance to go home. The company was in short supply and they worked overtime almost every day.

After working all morning, various discussions came from the office. The reason was that Xie Xiaoke had not set a year-end bonus for the company. Many people felt unhappy. Other companies in this park basically had a year-end bonus of 13, but their company did not.

However, Xie Xiaoke's company usually has a high salary. Even if there is no year-end bonus, the 12 salary a year is much more than the 13 salary of the company. So everyone has nothing to say. It's just that when chatting with their friends, others have a year-end bonus, but they don't have it, which seems very LOW.

And it’s hard to mention this to the boss, do you say Xie Xiaoke? He doesn’t deduct it at all. No company can compare the benefits here. Think about it, it’s only one month’s salary, forget it, I just told the manager of the subsidiary in private, but there has been no response!

"I don't know if there is a year-end bonus this year. Mr. Xie may have forgotten this matter!"

"I hope he can remember it, we are embarrassed to say it!"

"It's better to talk to Manager Zhao. She has a good relationship with President Xie, so let her ask!"

"Okay!"

At noon, while everyone was going to have dinner, the three boys and two girls from the Internet cafe in Chen came to the door of the manager's office together. He hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

Zhao Yihan inside happened to go out for dinner too. When he heard the knock on the door, he walked to the door and opened it. When he saw that these people were wearing Kechen Internet Cafe's uniform, he asked in surprise: "Oh, what are you doing?"

"Manager Zhao, we have something to tell you!"

The two girls held Zhao Yihan's hand and hid in the office. Several boys closed the door, just like thieves, sneaky.

Zhao Yihan looked confused and asked again hurriedly: "What are you doing, it's mysterious?"

"Well, Manager Zhao, is there any year-end bonus this year?" A boy finally couldn't help asking.

"this……"

Zhao Yihan doesn’t know if it is, but she also hopes to have a year-end bonus. She is more confident when bragging to friends from other companies. Throughout the year, they walk sideways in front of their friends and brothers with high wages and high benefits, but they become timid at the end of the year, which is not fun at all!

"I haven't heard of it either, probably not!" Zhao Yihan said with some uncertainty.

Another girl said, "I think Mr. Xie may have just started a company and don't remember this. Why don't you remind me that you have the best relationship with him!"

"I'll remind you? You guys will tell me!" Zhao Yihan was a little reluctant.

At this time, two of the boys picked up Zhao Yihan's arms and gently kneaded them. Another boy stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. He said respectfully and pitifully: "Miss Zhao, beautiful lady Zhao, you are the best. If you only have one word, Mr. Xie will definitely set up a year-end bonus without hesitation. If it really doesn't work, you can seduce him with your beauty and ensure it will be natural!"

"Yes, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to be beautiful, with Manager Zhao's figure and appearance..."

Several people praised Zhao Yihan for being so dirty that it was too dirty.

"Oh, stop pinching, let go!"

Zhao Yihan nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, I'll call now to ask!"

"OK!"

Several people almost screamed happily.

Zhao Yihan took out his cell phone, called Xie Xiaoke, and said, "Hey, Shuai Guo, are you busy?"

Several colleagues were shocked. They didn’t call Mr. Xie so much. The relationship was so good, and it seemed that they were stable!

"What...oh!"

When the phone hung up, they surrounded him again: "How is it? What did Mr. Xie say?"

"He said he would arrive at the company soon and asked me to go to the conference room to find him. You can go out for dinner first and wait for my good news!" Zhao Yihan put his phone in his bag and said.

Damn, Mr. Xie must be announcing the important thing about the year-end bonus when he comes to the company. As expected, it is still a beautiful woman who can do it. One of the boys said again: "Manager Zhao, what do you want to eat? I'll treat it at noon!"

"What are you anxious about? Isn't that certain?" Zhao Yihan said with a lot of laughter and crying: "It seems like you can find a girlfriend by giving the year-end bonus. Why are you so happy?"

man:"……"

After Zhao Yihan went out, he closed the office door, turned around and said, "Well, bring me a spicy hot pot!"

"Okay!"

...

After arriving at the conference room, Xie Xiaoke came after waiting for almost ten minutes. In addition, Gong Qiuwei and the main leaders of several other companies came over. Several people gathered at the conference table and listened to Xie Xiaoke's speech attentively.

Xie Xiaoke solemnly announced: "I'm going to Germany after the New Year, so you must stand your own position during this period. At that time, Sister Wei will go with me. Your work must be handed over to the people below!"

Gong Qiuwei nodded and said, "I understand!"

"The other thing is about year-end bonuses. Now the company is talking about the most. This is my negligence. Starting this year, all employees will be given year-end bonuses before the Spring Festival every year, and they will take the 14-salary approach. This will be the case in the future. What do you guys have any opinions!"

After Xie Xiaoke finished speaking, there was nothing else to do. Let’s take a look at everyone.

They must have no objection at all. After hearing Xie Xiaoke's words, they were so happy that they could finally give an explanation to the employees below.

The leadership receives annual salary, which is distributed evenly to each month, and then receives an annual bonus of two months of monthly salary.

Zhao Yihan smiled and said, "Thank you, boss, you don't know. People ask me about the year-end bonus every day. When I called you just now, five people surrounded me and asked me, and I was almost crazy!"

Gong Qiuwei also complained: "Oh, I'm not the same. When people gathered around me at lunch, I was so annoyed!"

...

"There is nothing else. You guys go and do it first. Sister Wei, stay!"

As soon as Xie Xiaoke finished speaking, the others left the conference room. Then, Zhou Dongyu and Pan Xiaoting walked in.

This time, because she was going abroad, Xie Xiaoke wanted to push Zhou Dongyu to the world stage. In addition, if, if, if she won some award, someone would have to receive the award. Shi Xiaolong and Wu Qian were filming, and now they couldn't get the time. Zhou Dongyu would have to take the prize on their behalf. She would stop on the podium so that people from other countries around the world would see her.

After the news of the year-end bonus was announced, the entire group company celebrated together.

That kind of joy is even more exaggerated than the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Now that I can put more money on my home during the Chinese New Year, I can buy more things and take them back to my parents.

All employees in the company are calculating their year-end bonuses. Some are calculating their oral calculations, some are calculating their pens on draft paper, and some are calculators. After calculating, they are so happy. After lunch, they chatted from the street to the office, and they are sarcastic, no matter what, endlessly.

When he came back from dinner with Zhao Yihan, Zhao Yihan seemed to see a walking bank card and couldn't help asking: "Ashuang, how much is your year-end bonus?"

Liu Shuang’s annual salary is now 2 million yuan, which is evenly distributed to each month. Multiplying it by 2 will mean 333,333.

"It's more than 330,000, where are you?"

Zhao Yihan covered her mouth in fear: "Oh my God!"

Her salary is now 500,000 yuan, while Liu Shuangguang’s annual bonus is more than 330,000 yuan. Do you want someone to live? “Ashuang, you are such a rich woman, I only have more than 80,000 yuan!”

"You have to pay taxes. The more you pay, the more you pay. By the way, are you going home during the New Year?" Liu Shuang suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Back, I've bought all the tickets, and I'll leave on the 18th!"

Liu Shuang was startled: "Go back so early?"

"There is no way too far, it's not as close as you!" Zhao Yihan's hometown is in Kansu Province, and it takes 10 hours to go back by high-speed rail.

"How many hours have you been back?"

"The high-speed rail is 10 hours long. When I go back, I have to sleep at home for a day to restore my vitality. It's been gone for two days!" Zhao Yihan said helplessly.

Liu Shuang asked in confusion: "Then you take a plane, the plane will arrive in 3 hours!"

"I don't dare to take a plane, it's too dangerous!"

Zhao Yihan is very timid and never takes a plane unless it is absolutely necessary. She is afraid that the plane will crash.

But Liu Shuang usually runs many places, and basically has planes and ships, and feels very safe: "How can it be unsafe? Aircraft are the transportation with the lowest accident rate in the world!"

Zhao Yihan shook his head and completely disagreed: "It's true that the accident rate is low, but if something happens, you will definitely die!"

Liu Shuang was speechless: "Okay!"

...

In the afternoon, Liu Shuang was responsible for connecting with the Finance Department and handing down everyone's year-end bonus.

When I got off work, several companies in the park learned that the year-end bonuses under the Peak Times were so high, which was extremely envious.

"I don't know if their company is still recruiting people. I'm going to change jobs!"

"I want to dance too, but in a park, I'm sorry to meet our former boss!"

...

Xie Xiaoke has been busy these days. During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Li, Wang Bin, Zhang Shuangfeng and two maids have returned to their hometowns, and He Jing also wants to celebrate the Chinese New Year with her family. In the entire villa, only Xie Xiaoke and Wang Xiaochen are left.

Originally, they wanted to call their parents over, but they were very busy at home and didn't come. The couple had to go through it. Xie Xiaoke made a few home-cooked dishes, steamed clams with garlic and vermicelli, salt-burned sea bass, flavored eggplant, steamed shrimp eggs, corn rib soup, etc., which were all light dishes. Xie Xiaoke considered all Wang Xiaochen's taste and didn't consider himself at all. If he wanted to eat outside, he would have the chance to eat it, but at home he should not make that heavy-tasting dish that made Wang Xiaochen greedy.

Now the New Year atmosphere is really incomparable to before. Xie Xiaoke feels that time is getting faster and faster. 2021 feels like it is passing quickly, but he didn't expect that 2022 will pass faster. After the New Year, he is already 26.

After all, it has been four years since he graduated from college. I am afraid that all the students who graduated together now are not as much as Xie Xiaoke's income. Xie Xiaoke thinks that his sense of success in his career is the best reward for his parents. Although he has not returned to celebrate the New Year and has to take care of his wife in Shencheng, when his parents brag about their son at home, when they talk about their son, their faces are full of glory. What a shame.

If you play mahjong casually, it’s okay to lose no matter how much money you lose. Just treat it as giving red envelopes to the villagers. Anyway, my son is rich.

In addition to taking care of Wang Xiaochen, we also have to prepare some things for going abroad, such as credit cards. Because shopping in Germany is not as convenient as in China, people do not have so many quick payment functions, and under normal circumstances they use credit cards. For this reason, Xie Xiaoke also went to the bank to apply for a credit card.

According to the system settings, money for consumption that does not belong to you will be deducted. Credit cards, money is borrowed, and it is definitely not your own money. So after applying for the credit card, Xie Xiaoke went to the supermarket to buy a pack of sanitary napkins in order to test it out, and found that the money was deducted!

However, no matter how you make a purchase, the money in the bank card will not be deducted when you repay the loan yourself, so in theory it is still equivalent to not spending money.
