000016 gift
After filling in the items on the format contract, Justin began to review the contract again, and Xiao Yifei also found that he could actually understand some of the items. It seems that there was no wasted German learning during this period.
The contract was signed and the three tables were handed over to Leonard. Next, according to the customs of the Chinese, we should have a meal to celebrate. Everyone had a Western meal in the hotel restaurant.
While chatting after dinner, Xiao Yifei asked, "Leonard, last time I saw someone selling the round ones with paintings on them. What is that?"
Leonard repeated with confusion: "Round? Full of paintings? Xiao, what you said is too vague. Can you tell me how big and how round that thing is?"
“It’s the size of an egg and the shape is similar to that of an egg.”
"Oh, then you should be talking about Easter eggs. Why do you have this thing? Ordinary easter eggs are not expensive, but Russian easter eggs, especially Faberge's royal easter eggs, are only expensive, tens of millions per one. Do you really have it?"
Xiao Yifei wrote down a few keywords, "Fabeer" and "Easter eggs", and said, "I don't have one, I just saw something sold on the street."
"Oh, those on the street must be cheap, you can buy them in a few euros, but they are usually painted for your children to play with."
Xiao Yifei looked at the bill given to him. Western food was not expensive, but the red wine they drank was twice as expensive as Western food.
After seeing Leonard off, Xiao Yifei was about to go home for the New Year. At this time of previous years, everyone bought tickets for home and return early, eagerly calculating the time of holiday.
Using the Faberge and Easter eggs left by Leonard as keywords, Xiao Yifei quickly searched for the information he wanted.
Faberge specially made 54 Easter eggs for Russia, and 8 were missing. After careful comparison, Xiao Yifei discovered that the five egg-shaped objects in the space were very likely to be the Faberge royal easter eggs. Among them, there are clear photos of the easter eggs from 1909 and 1903, half of the photo of the easter eggs from 1889, and the sketched 1888 easter eggs can all be found in the space. Although the other 1886 easter eggs have no images left, it is inferred based on the name of sapphire, which coincides with the easter egg made of sapphire in the space.
Soon, he found the source of these eggs.
After the success of the Soviet Revolution, all the Faberge royal easter eggs were confiscated, registered and stored in boxes. In 1927, in order to raise military expenses, Stalin ordered the sale of confiscated royal property, and these royal easter eggs were also among them. It is said that only 14 were leaked out of Russia at that time, but it was obviously not the case. Because the Kremlin in Russia only preserves 10 easter eggs, the rest are in the hands of foreign art galleries or wealthy people, and even the British royal family has 3.
It is said that when the Easter eggs were sold, Faberge, who was arrested by the Soviet Union, was asked to estimate the price of these Easter eggs. However, in Paris, it was impossible to sell them at this price. It could only be asked a pro-Soviet American businessman to bring a few back to the United States to sell, which was still unsold.
At that time, these easter eggs were only priced at a few hundred dollars. But deep in the financial crisis, the current baby was left unattended. At that time, someone mocked him: "No doubt, these Faberge Easter eggs are very beautiful, but can they be eaten?"
A similar easter egg was found on the catalog of Sotheby's auction in the 1960s, and the description was similar to the royal easter egg. The auction price was only $2,450.
Now, the auction price of Faberge Easter eggs is close to tens of millions of dollars. Although Xiao Yifei is "influenced by huge wealth", he is still scared by this small egg. This inconspicuous box contains tens of millions of dollars, which makes Xiao Yifei more and more afraid to underestimate anything in the space.
That day, Xiao Ya got off work and then looked for Xiao Yifei. After dinner, she gave him a box.
"Just what?"
"New Year's Gift?"
"I see that you worked so hard to learn a language some time ago. I asked some people and they said that this software is good and learning a foreign language is good."
Xiao Yifei took apart the box, and there were several small boxes inside, picked up a cardboard box, and several large English words "RosettaStone" on the cover.
Hey, Xiao Yifei knew this word, and this is the Rosetta Stone. He learned about the stele discovered by Napoleon's army when he first learned about the Egyptian holy style. It was because it made great contributions to deciphering the holy style. Could it be the English translation of the Rosetta Stone? Why would you write English?
"I heard them say that the most important thing in learning a language is the environment. They said that this software can maximize the simulation of a locale. I heard that NASA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are using this software."
Xiao Yifei picked up the second box, which was still the Rosetta software, but there was a German language on the cover.
"Li Qinglin said that you are learning German and memorizing words every day is very hard. They said this is very useful, so I will buy you a German version. I think your English is good, and you can communicate well with people after you improve it. Moreover, the range of English is very wide, so I bought an English version by the way."
Xiao Yifei held the box in his hand. He had been learning foreign languages for so long but hadn't heard of this software, but Xiao Ya could find it. You can imagine how many people she found behind her and how many people she consulted. And looking at the packaging, it was obviously genuine software. Everyone knows what the pricing of foreign genuine software is. Even the general operating system is several thousand yuan. Rosetta in these two languages is also a salary of one or two months. She has been promoted for less than a year, and this money is not a decimal to her.
When it was time to get off the bus, Xiao Yifei didn't know what to say, and said "Thank you" softly, and I was sorry for her love at all.
When he returned to the little nest, Xiao Yifei immediately installed the software and first tried it in English. After a few days of experience, he found that the software was really good.
So with the help of the software, Xiao Yifei continued to study. Now his focus is on improving English and learning German, and Hans's diary is just a supplement.
Everyone has worked in the Magic City for a long time and has a deep understanding of the tragic tragedy of the Spring Festival travel rush. This year, Xiao Yifei did not ask Xiao Ya to buy a train ticket. Xiao Ya lives in Liuyang City, southern Hunan Province. Since there is no train station in Liuyang City, college can only take the train to Changsha first and then take the bus back to Liuyang City. Xiao Yifei directly bought her a plane ticket this year. Anyway, the plane will arrive in Changsha within an hour, and the ticket price is only 800 yuan.
Xiao Yifei must have driven Via Nou home. He has contacted his high school classmates who work in his hometown's vehicle management office and will get a formal license on the same day he returns home.
As for Li Qinglin, his home is in Jiangning, and Xiao Yifei will pass here on this route, so he will be taken back by Xiao Yifei.
Everything was ready, and the company finally gave the year-end bonus. Xiao Yifei looked at the details. Sure enough, the 100,000 yuan promised by the German project was only a little over 50,000 yuan. In addition, the year-end bonus of another 40,000 yuan was given, and Xiao Yifei got 80,000 yuan after paying the tax. This year is a fat year. This year-end bonus made Li Qinglin very jealous.
What made the leader depressed was that just after sending the year-end bonus, Xiao Yifei sent an email to the leader about his resignation.
Needless to say, Xiao Yifei can do such disgusting things at this age. The investor and the worker are naturally opposite. No matter how the investor or the worker is with the other party, the other party will definitely not be satisfied with them anyway. They will always ask for more. Moreover, the strong domestic investors have always ignored the worker and will occasionally say, "It is difficult to find a three-legged toad, but is it difficult to find a two-legged person?" This threatens employees, and the poor worker has no support, so they can only swallow their anger. Many people choose to disgusted the investor when they leave as if they disgusted.
That night, Xiao Yifei invited a few colleagues to have a breakup meal.
During the meal, a colleague was still inquiring curiously: "Xiao Xiao, can you tell me who your next home is now?"
Several colleagues next to him were also making excuses: "That's right, who is next home? How many are you going to open?"
Although Xiao Yifei had told them that he wanted to go back to his hometown, these colleagues never believed it very much.
"Brothers, why don't you believe it? I'm really tired and don't want to be a coder anymore. I want to go home."
"real?"
"real."
When several colleagues saw that he was talking so seriously, they temporarily believed that Xiao Yifei was going home instead of changing jobs.
"Oh, you are still happy. If you can jump out of this fire pit, we have to continue staying in this pit."
"Yes, coders are really not done by people. I work overtime, overtime, and I endure hard day by day. Look, I am only 30 years old and I have so much white hair."
"This coder is just a youthful life. When he gets older and reacts slowly, he will be kicked out of the door by the company."
"Yes, computer knowledge is updated too quickly. After a few years, we can't learn it, can't get overtime, and will lose our jobs. I really want to learn from you, so I'll go home and change jobs."
"People who watched us work overtime every day thought how much money we earned. Alas, after working for so many years, we can't even make up a down payment."
Perhaps because of drinking too much, everyone complained a lot. Xiao Yifei completely escaped from the sea of suffering and accompanied these colleagues who were still working hard in the Demon City to drink and complain until everyone returned drunk.
Finally, the Spring Festival holiday was coming, and the climax of the Spring Festival travel rush had arrived. Everyone rushed home in a hurry. Early in the morning, Xiao Yifei and his team set off, first sent Xiao Ya to the airport. Seeing Xiao Ya pass the security check, they turned around and moved to the waiting hall step by step. If they hadn't driven back, Xiao Yifei would have just wanted to fly to Xiangnan with her.
After getting on the expressway from Demon City to Jiangning, Li Qinglin won the driving rights, and the 280-kilometer journey allowed him to reach Jiangning in more than two hours.
The next itinerary was Xiao Yifei's journey alone. He pulled the black nose out of the space. The black nose was already familiar with this Viano, and he had also taken it several times and squatted in the passenger seat honestly.
