Chapter 546 All Good Things Must Come to an End

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Du Shaojie had prepared a table full of dishes.

There were private rooms on the second floor, so they didn't have to squeeze in with the other customers in the lobby. Although the lobby was busy, it was very noisy and it was difficult to have a chat.

Today's main dish is [Roasted Whole Lamb], and there are also [Braised Lamb], [Beef Stew], [Sand Meatballs], [Boiled Shrimp], [Steamed Grouper], [Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs], [Big Plate Chicken] and some vegetables.

The prawns and grouper were airlifted from Guangzhou today. They are very fresh and are mainly designed to cater to the tastes of women and children.

In addition, there are various kinds of barbecue, which can be eaten at any time. After all, barbecue will not taste good when it is cold.

Zou Xiaohe, Luo Qin and others sat at a separate table, while Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and three other families sat at another table.

There were white wine, red wine and drinks on the table. Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo naturally drank white wine, and the others could do whatever they wanted.

There was no big dish tonight, but the dishes on the table were praised by everyone. Let's not talk about the ingredients first. The ingredients were of course well prepared. With Du Shaojie's cooking skills, he could make flowers out of vegetables and radishes.

"Come on, come on, hold up your glasses, and wish all of us all the best in the new year! Health and happiness!"

Du Shaojie gave a toast and everyone said "yes" and raised their glasses regardless of what they were drinking.

Everyone has expectations for the New Year. The expectations may be different, but they are definitely good.

"It's snowing outside! Go out for a walk."

Everyone ate, drank and chatted happily.

I don't know when it started snowing heavily outside, goose feather snowflakes fluttered down, and everything was white.

At this time, everyone had already eaten and drunk their fill, so someone suggested going outside to see the snow.

Du Shaojie immediately called Zou Xiaohe and Wu Chenggang over and told them to prepare first.

Later, a group of people came outside and followed Du Shaojie to the racecourse.

Zou Xiaohe and Wu Chenggang arrived in advance in a pickup truck. The truck bed was full of fireworks and the two were moving them down.

Seeing this scene, even Qi Yan shouted excitedly. Fireworks and firecrackers are often associated with celebrations. On such a special night, the sparks blooming in the night sky are everyone's favorite.

After Du Shaojie and others came over, Zou Xiaohe and Wu Chenggang started setting off fireworks.

The brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky, adding countless colors to this white world.

"Oh! Oh oh!"

Du Shaojie's daughter jumped and danced, and shouted from time to time. In the end, everyone couldn't help but shout.

The racecourse has not been built yet, and this is still an empty flat land. But on this snowy night, this is the best place for everyone to release their emotions.

Don't worry about disturbing others, you can shout as much as you want.

After all the fireworks were set off, the stable staff brought in a team of horses.

"Get on the horses, they will take us back."

Seeing that everyone was still not satisfied, Du Shaojie shouted loudly.

Pang Weidong and Xu Bo immediately became energetic. Zou Xiaohe would arrange vehicles to take those who were not suitable for riding back. The others got on horseback one after another and enjoyed this not-so-long journey in the snowy night.

"Ajie, this is your arrangement? I like it!"

At night, although Pang Weidong didn't dare to ride his horse, he still felt very happy.

It's not like he and Xu Bo haven't seen snow before, but they seldom see such heavy snow. The horses' hooves made a rhythmic sound on the snow, and the north wind brought fresh air, which made the two of them feel intoxicated.

This damn place is so relaxing, isn't it?
Back at the resort, the stable staff left with the horses. Since they were all single-family villas, there were karaoke equipment in the house, and some people sang until midnight before going to bed.

"Shaojie, your horse farm project is really well chosen! I will come here at least twice a year in the future, to escape the heat in the summer and to ski in the winter. The key is that there are so many delicious foods here."

Before going to bed, Qi Yan spoke her mind.

This time she and her daughter could only stay for a few days before returning to Beijing, which was not very satisfying. However, after her daughter's holiday, they would come again to celebrate the Spring Festival with Du Shaojie and Wang Yuxiu.

On the second day of the New Year, Qi Yan, Pang Weidong and others left one after another.

Du Shaojie did not return to the city, but stayed in the [Barbecue Factory], continuing to lead Wu Chenggang and others to make [Roasted Whole Lamb], and made some optimizations based on previous barbecue experience.

Although barbecue may seem insignificant, it is actually a science.

Time flies.

The Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye.

Xiaoya and Xiaomei couldn't come back for the New Year due to family reasons, but Wang Yuxiu didn't think it mattered. After all, she was very happy to have her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to spend the New Year with her.

Liang Meiqin came back last time and took her parents to Hong Kong when she left. The family is spending the New Year there this year.

Qi Yan's parents also returned to Xijiang. During the New Year holidays, she and Du Shaojie must have been running back and forth between the two places. Being busy has its own fun.

Du Shaojie accompanied his mother back this time and stayed for nearly half a year. This was also the longest time he had stayed in his hometown in all these years.

When the winter vacation was almost over, Qi Yan and her daughter returned to the capital. "Mom, shouldn't we go back to Yangcheng? If you like staying here, you can come back often after my horse farm is built. I will arrange someone to take care of you then."

Du Shaojie said he wanted to go back. Although Wang Yuxiu was not very happy, she still nodded and agreed to go with him.

Her son has been here with her all this time, and she doesn't want to always delay his work.

three days later.

The group flew back to Guangzhou, and Wang Yuxiu still stayed at Xiaomei's house.

After coming back, Du Shaojie rested for a few days and then went to Shenzhen. This time he stayed outside for a long time. Not only did the catering company have some backlogs of documents to deal with, but [Dingxin International] and [Huaxin Investment] also had backlogs of documents waiting for him.

Fortunately, communication is convenient nowadays and there is not much backlog of work, otherwise he would definitely be exhausted to death.

"I've just finished my work. Let's see Yongjun and Alian off tonight."

Wei Qi, Zhang Xueqi and Yang Hao all performed well and successfully passed the probation period.

They were already capable of doing their respective jobs, so Du Shaojie agreed to let Xu Youlian and Peng Yongjun leave.

After Peng Yongjun returns to Hong Kong, he will work with Chen Ji. Xu Youlian will be assigned to the security department of [Dingxin International], mainly responsible for the security of Du Shaojie's properties in Hong Kong.

Xu Youlian plans to get married soon, and this job is very suitable for her. At least she doesn't need to run around, and she has more free time.

Although Peng Yongjun has a rather dull personality, he actively asks to continue to shine.

Chen Ji actually knew what kind of work he did. If he had a choice, he would rather take more risks than retire early like Xu Youlian.

Du Shaojie followed his wish. If nothing unexpected happens, Peng Yongjun will take over Chen Ji's responsibility for some secret work in the future.

"Thank you, boss! We are all busy, so why not make a big fuss?"

When Xu Youlian and Peng Yongjun heard that their boss was going to see them off, they both felt a little embarrassed.

Du Shaojie didn't have time to push things around with them, so he agreed to meet at the Seafood Restaurant at 6: in the evening, and he went out with Wei Qi and Zou Xiaohe.

night.

Peng Yongjun and Xu Youlian both drank a lot of wine. They might have been emotionally moved and cried their hearts out.

Zou Xiaohe was also reluctant to part with them. Among the people who had been with the boss for a long time, Zhong Qing retired, Wang Yongli went to Shenzhen, and Peng Yongjun and Xu Youlian also returned to Hong Kong.

Now he and Luo Qin have the longest seniority, and perhaps he will leave at any time.

Luo Qin and Li Yimei accompanied Xu Youlian in wiping her tears. Because Du Shaojie treated everyone around him equally, everyone got along well with each other.

Parting always makes people sad. At the farewell party, almost everyone got drunk.

Wei Qi, Yang Hao and Zhang Xueqi could feel the friendship among these people. To be honest, this situation was very different from what they knew about the workplace.

This also strengthened their determination to work hard for the boss. After all, even if Xu Youlian and Peng Yongjun left, the boss had found a way out for them.

the next day.

Xu Youlian and Peng Yongjun went to Hong Kong together. Du Shaojie will stay in Shenzhen for a few days and he will go there later.

For the next period of time, Du Shaojie basically stayed in [Huaxin Investment].

According to the plan, he appointed a professional auditing agency to audit Huaxin Investment, and he also randomly checked some of the accounts.

There were no major problems with the accounts, and some minor issues were corrected in a timely manner.

Currently, Huaxin Investment is very active in the domestic investment community. Unlike before, the company's style is more inclined towards medium- and short-term investments, and the profits are very substantial.

Du Shaojie has already invested in well-known domestic communications companies, three major portals, and Penguin Company, plus early investments in real estate companies, home appliance companies, and electronics companies, so [Huaxin Investment] will change its investment style.

After completing the audit work, he went to Hong Kong.

The next step was the audit of [Dingxin International], which was Du Shaojie's foundation. Even though Liang Meiqin was in charge of the company, the audit was still carried out in a very strict manner.

The audit results were very good, with hardly any minor flaws to be found.

"I am very pleased that you all deserve your high annual salary."

Du Shaojie held a meeting to praise Liang Meiqin, Winnie, Fan Shilun and others, and gave everyone a 20% salary increase on the original basis as a token of encouragement.

After several stock speculations, Dingxin International's investment style tended to be more stable and it abandoned the high-risk and high-return investment strategy.

“Boss Du, Hongsheng Investment had set up a trap for us in the stock market before, but the company changed its investment style with the memorial hall, making their efforts in vain.

However, in recent months, the other party has repeatedly made moves in industrial investment, ruining at least three of our deals.”

Winnie then reported to Du Shaojie that Hongsheng Investment had moved to Hong Kong and still considered Dingxin International as its opponent.

In fact, Hongsheng Investment’s original strength was not strong, but now it has the support of large enterprises and its position is very high.
