Chapter 438 New Year 3
The New Year in Jiangcheng City is somewhat different from that in other places.
Generally, families start preparing early, and on New Year's Eve, they have one meal at noon and one meal at night. The lunch is usually chicken, duck, fish and meat, accompanied by a few bottles of good wine, and everyone has a reunion dinner together.
For the evening meal, we would serve the leftovers from lunch and start making dumplings.
There are ones with celery filling and ones with sauerkraut filling. The most unique one is the one with sauerkraut filling. As people have become wealthier in recent years, they have started to use pork to make dumplings.
In the early years when supplies were scarce, there was absolutely no fat and lean pork belly. Instead, there were a few large pieces of fat meat that were cut into small pieces, put into a large pot, added with water, and the oil was boiled out. The oil residue that had shrunk into pieces was then scooped out, chopped into fillings, mixed with sauerkraut, and used to make dumplings.
But this year for Su Yang and Si Yao is a little different from previous years.
The two of them slept until noon, and only got up when the sun was high in the sky. Su Yang ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He looked at the phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls, so he called them one by one.
One call was from his father Su Zhiqiang, and the other was from his mother Ren Yufen.
There was even a call from my uncle Ren Zijian...
It goes without saying that these people all wanted him to go home for dinner, but it was already noon and if he drove back, it would be afternoon, so he was afraid he would miss the New Year's Eve dinner.
He replied with a message: "I won't go back before the New Year. I will go home after the New Year."
When he flipped through the pages further, he saw even more people calling, including Liang Junhao, Shen Yi, and Zhong Ruoting. They were probably there to wish him a happy new year, but unfortunately he didn't get through to any of them.
Next came the people from Jitu Express and Susutong Logistics. He Rongfa, Xiao Jun, Bian Zhenguo, and Lin Xiangnan, who had been expanding the southern market, also called.
He was just about to call back one by one to wish these people a happy new year.
Until he turned to the last person, who was also the first person to call him today.
Lu Wanjiang.
His hand holding the toothbrush paused for a moment, because just as he was about to hang up his phone, a text message suddenly popped up on his phone, from Lu Wanjiang.
"Boss Su, are you awake?"
"See the message, reply quickly!"
"reply ASAP!"
Su Yang quickly dialed Lu Wanjiang's number. The phone rang once before it was connected.
Lu Wanjiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss Su, you finally answered the phone. I called you and sent you messages early in the morning, and you finally replied to me!"
Su Yang smiled bitterly: "Boss Lu, it's Chinese New Year, you shouldn't go to such lengths to wish me a happy new year, right? I don't have any red envelopes for you!"
"How about I drive over to see Professor Lu later?"
Lu Wanjiang gritted his teeth and said, "I think you should stop worrying about my father and save us first. Our PwC audit team that came to Jiangcheng has been blocked at the Daheng Group Jiangcheng Branch for the whole morning!"
"A group of workers outside are blocking here and asking for money. They say they don't have money to go home for the New Year, so they are here to collect debts from Daheng Group!"
"Boss Su, you are very powerful. Think of a way and solve it quickly!"
Su Yang frowned, his hair stood on end: "It's New Year's Day, why are you going to the audit team?"
Lu Wanjiang sighed: "Some of my colleagues in the audit team are from other provinces. They were busy with work a while ago, so they stayed to work overtime. They were supposed to take a flight back to Shanghai at noon today. Who knew they would encounter something like this!"
"You said it's weird. We plan to make a copy of the accounts of Daheng Group and go back to work remotely so that we can stay at home for a few more days!"
"Just a moment later, this group of people arrived and blocked the door. I took a look and thought there were probably three or four hundred of them. I was really at a loss. I called the police, but they couldn't get in. I could only stare at them from outside."
"This group of people came without saying a word, holding up banners to demand a debt..."
Su Yang felt a headache. It was New Year's Day and he still had to help Lu Wanjiang solve this problem. However, he still hoped that PricewaterhouseCoopers would get these three projects. He would first contract them to practice his hand. What's more, Lu Wanjiang had confronted the audit team of the China Banking Regulatory Commission last time, and he had not yet repaid this favor.
"Okay, wait, I'll be there now!"
Su Yang hung up the phone.
Si Yao, who was outside the bathroom door, yawned and stretched. Her plump figure was exposed in front of Su Yang. She leaned against the door and looked at Su Yang.
"Why, classmate Su, it's New Year's Day, why are you still so busy?"
Su Yang smiled bitterly: "You really can't blame me for this. He is Professor Lu's son. Otherwise, why don't you call Professor Lu and tell him that I won't go?"
Si Yao glared at him: "Why are you giving me this difficult problem?"
"Go, go, remember to come back early. We can't go back to Chuncheng today, and we have to go back to the old house to have a meal. I guess there will be a lot of people coming to my house today, so let's just go back later. Anyway, we can just have a meal and come back."
"It's probably the same dishes every year. I can almost memorize them."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, just go..."
Su Yang looked at Si Yao, somewhat reluctant to leave. He placed his hand on Si Yao's leg, and moved along the smooth and white outer side, all the way up, finally stopping on Si Yao's hip and slapping it hard.
"Then I'm leaving..."
Si Yao rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you exerting so much effort?"
……
Daheng Group, outside the Jiangcheng branch.
Two security guards, trembling with fear as they carried two explosion-proof shields, looked at the three or four hundred people sitting on the ground outside the door. They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that any slight noise would upset these guys and make them rush in and knock them over.
This group of people sat on the ground in groups of three or four, holding banners on poles in their hands.
"Daheng Group, give me back my hard-earned money!"
"Daheng Group, pay back the money!!!"
"Daheng Group, if you fail to pay your wages, you will die!"
Upstairs, in the conference room on the top floor, Lu Wanjiang looked at the time. Although he was still worried, he knew that Su Yang was coming, so at least he had peace of mind.
Several members of the audit team nearby were constantly negotiating with Zhou Xiang, the general manager of the Jiangcheng branch of Daheng Group.
"Boss Zhou, can you think of a way to let us out first?"
"That's right, I'm about to miss my ticket for this afternoon..."
Zhou Xiang pressed his hands: "Everyone, you really can't go out. If you go out, your life will be in danger!"
"They are here for you, these bastards. They know you are here to do the audit, which is why they can't get their money. If you go out, you will be torn to pieces!"
"I think we should stay here first. There's food and drinks in this room. When they get tired of sitting, they'll leave naturally!"
An audit team member frowned and asked, "How long do we have to wait?"
"That's right, it's New Year's Eve and I can't even go home. I still need to take my annual leave!"
A group of people started to quarrel.
Lu Wanjiang next to him frowned: "Stop arguing!"
