Chapter 2214: New Year's Greetings

Interestingly enough, the younger people are, the less they feel about the Spring Festival.

On the contrary, older people care more about festivals like the Spring Festival.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

The younger people are, the less they care about such festivals. In their eyes, it's just another day of the year.

In the final analysis, times have changed.

For instance, Zhao Fusheng and his parents have somewhat different perceptions of the Spring Festival.

And he knows well that compared to himself, when his son grows up, their ideas about the Spring Festival will be even more different.

This is the development of the times, inevitable.

New Year's Eve passed quickly, and soon it was the first day of the new year.

"You child, where are you going on the first day of the new year?"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng ready to go out early in the morning, Mother Zhao asked with some surprise.

She and Li Yuan had just finished making dumplings, waiting for Zhao Fusheng to eat.

But then she saw that this guy was actually preparing to go out.

"I'm going to the company."

Zhao Fusheng said helplessly to his mother, "There are employees on duty at the company, I need to go give them red envelopes."

"Ah?"

Mother Zhao was taken aback, not expecting her son to have this schedule.

Frowning slightly, she asked Zhao Fusheng, "Isn't it more appropriate for Zheng Yao to do this kind of thing?"

After all, her son was the chairman of the group; doing such things personally was a bit beneath his status.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and shook his head, but didn't explain anything.

Father Zhao, however, understood and said with a smile, "Zheng Yao has been busy all year; you have to let her rest. She's not a hired hand working for our family."

Mother Zhao felt a bit embarrassed and nodded, "Alright, go ahead quickly."

She naturally knew Zheng Yao's importance in the entire Future Group. Hearing Father Zhao say this, she immediately fell silent.

Zhao Fusheng bid farewell to his family and, accompanied by Liu Yiming, went directly to the company headquarters.

That's right, classmate Liu Yiming had no vacation.

Or rather, after he brought his parents to the capital and Zhao Fusheng gave him a house, this guy indicated that he could do without vacations and such.

"Chairman, we have many places to go today."

Sitting in the car, Liu Yiming reported to Zhao Fusheng.

In his hand, he held an itinerary, listing the several places Zhao Fusheng would visit today.

Future Advertising, Future Film and Television, Future Investment, Future Technology, including the Future Group headquarters—all Future Group subsidiaries in Beijing today, Zhao Fusheng would visit each one.

After all, even during the Spring Festival, some people were on duty.

Because for enterprises, sometimes work doesn't care whether you're celebrating the New Year.

"Mm, let's go one by one."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Liu Yiming, "First go to the group headquarters, then to Future Advertising."

"Okay."

Liu Yiming nodded, indicating that he had already given instructions regarding Zhao Fusheng's arrangement.

The first stop was the Future Group headquarters.

The headquarters was fine; mainly, the remaining staff were on duty, in case any subsidiaries had matters to report during the Spring Festival. After Zhao Fusheng entered, he gave generous red envelopes to both the working staff and the security guards, thanking them for staying on duty during the Spring Festival.

After all, it was the Spring Festival; who wouldn't like to reunite at home? Even if one didn't like the festive atmosphere, they would still enjoy resting at home.

But since they came to work, they deserved gratitude.

"Chairman, thank you so much."

The speaker was a middle-level manager from the Future Group's public relations department. Those on duty today were all middle-level managers of the company.

This was Xue Yuanfang's idea. In his words, ordinary employees worked hard all year; they couldn't be asked to work overtime during the Spring Festival. So, all middle-level managers in Beijing, unless they had family obligations, would come in for duty.

Unless some ordinary employees wanted to work, these middle-level managers would not be replaced, nor would they receive bonuses.

When this decision was made, Zhao Fusheng was somewhat surprised.

But Xue Yuanfang strongly advocated it and stated outright that it would benefit the company's image.

Since he said so, Zheng Yao and Zhao Fusheng couldn't say much and had to agree.

...

...

At this moment, Zhao Fusheng truly realized the trouble of having too large a company.

Others might only need to visit one company to offer greetings, but he had to go through all of them, and it was already afternoon.

And this was the result of Zhao Fusheng's cursory visits; if he had lingered at each subsidiary, time might not have been enough.

Even so, by the time Zhao Fusheng finished his greetings, he was somewhat tired.

After all, rushing around all day, anyone would feel exhausted.

"Chairman, go home?"

Sitting in the car, Liu Yiming asked Zhao Fusheng.

"Mm, let's go back."

Zhao Fusheng said wearily, "Let's drop you off first. Are your parents worried?"

"No, I told them when I left."

Liu Yiming smiled and shook his head, saying to Zhao Fusheng, "Liu Yan came back today too. She participated in the gala yesterday; did you see it?"

His sister Liu Yan, with the help of Future Film and Television, became one of the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala's branch venue, gaining some fame and achieving success.

"I saw it."

Zhao Fusheng smiled, "My wife even said she looks much thinner than before."

In fact, what Fan Baobao said was that Liu Yan looked much sexier than before.

Of course, Zhao Fusheng was just being polite. In truth, Fan Baobao's exact words were, 'Why has Liu Yan started going for a sexy look?'

That's the art of conversation.

"Haha, she has been losing weight recently."

Liu Yiming said with a smile.

He genuinely loved his sister and hoped she would develop better.

And what he was most proud of was introducing his sister to Future Film and Television, so at least she wouldn't have to do things against her will.

This is probably the mindset of all older brothers.

"Go home and spend time with your family. You don't need to come over for the next few days."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Liu Yiming, "I don't plan to go out these days either."

"Okay, Chairman."

Liu Yiming quickly nodded.

He naturally understood Zhao Fusheng's meaning. It seemed that there would be guests at the chairman's home in the next few days; otherwise, given Zhao Fusheng's personality, he would definitely go out.

In fact, he was not wrong.

Zhao Fusheng wasn't going out these days precisely because guests were coming to his home.

To be precise, during the New Year, all kinds of people would come to visit, and he naturally had to entertain them properly.
