Chapter 1002 Going Home for the New Year
"Goodbye Mr. Tan!"
"Be safe on your way home."
"I wish you a happy New Year in advance, Mr. Tan."
"Happy New Year!"
Tan Yue came to inspect various departments and greeted many employees on vacation. Watching the employees leaving one after another, I felt a little emotional for a while.
"Hello, Mr. Tan."
An employee walked by with a water glass.
"Aren't you going home this year?"
"This year it's my turn to be on duty. I'll go home when they come back."
Tan Yue patted the employee on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, I just go home a few days later than them, it's the same."
It is impossible for such a large entertainment company to give everyone a holiday. Each department will leave some people on duty during the Chinese New Year. Of course, the salary during the Chinese New Year will also increase several times.
"Mr. Tan, I'm going to work first."
"Go." Tan Yue continued to other departments, checking the situation and chatting with employees.
After returning to the office, Chen Ye sent the documents.
"Mr. Tan, these are the schedules of various departments during the Chinese New Year."
Among them, the public relations department has the largest number of people left. Now that "The Godfather" is about to be released and will be released simultaneously around the world, it needs to deal with various emergencies.
During the movie's release, we must always pay attention to the popularity and then make some promotional adjustments.
The vacation for these people in the public relations department is also different from that of other departments. They will not take vacation until "The Godfather" is officially released.
There are also many staff left in the artist department. During the Chinese New Year, many artists received invitations from major TV stations or video websites to participate in programs or New Year's Eve programs, and the staff around the artists will always follow them.
Tan Yue looked at the contents of the document carefully, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Wu Gong opened the door gently and came in, handing the document in his hand to Tan Yue: "Mr. Tan, this is the recent promotion of the movie."
Tan Yue took the file, which contained various domestic and foreign data.
Wu Gongdao: "Since the promotion, the peak of online discussion of "The Godfather" is the day when the release date is announced. Whether it is foreign Twitter, domestic Douyin, or Weibo, almost all of it will be on the hot topics on that day. After searching, it even dominated the rankings in China. Although the popularity dropped in the next few days, it still maintained a high number. Then, as the release date got closer, searches on various popular social software continued. The quantity has improved again.”
Tan Yue smiled and nodded. The popularity of "The Godfather" has basically remained in a stable range. He is relatively reassured about the popularity in China and focuses on foreign countries.
Wu Gong explained it in detail.
"The popularity of "The Godfather" is good this time, and the early results should be pretty good." Tan Yue put down the documents in his hands and asked, "Mr. Wu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, when are you going to go back?"
“I won’t go back this year for the time being.”
Tan Yue said seriously: "I'll find someone to keep an eye on me here. You can go home without worries."
Wu Gong said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Tan for your kindness. I want to wait until I finish working on "The Godfather" and it will be released in four days. I can't leave at this time."
It’s not that he is worried about other people, but that The Godfather has a very heavy task and there can’t be any mistakes in the process.
Not only is the film the company's third to be released globally, it also competes with Columbia Entertainment's "Dark Fire."
Things at home are easy to handle, but situations abroad are very complicated and difficult to handle without some experience.
"I'm going to have to work hard on you during this period." How could Tan Yue not understand what it meant? He really needed an experienced veteran like Wu Gong to watch over him. "After the work on "The Godfather" is finished, I'll give you two months to guide you." time for paid leave.”
"Thank you Mr. Tan!"
Tan Yue waved his hand: "No need to thank me, you deserve all this. You are busy working for the company every day, thank you for your hard work. There are also those who are busy doing publicity abroad, they are just like you. ”
"When I tell them the news, they will jump with excitement."
Tan Yue closed the document in his hand: "Every time we go abroad to promote, it is a challenge for us, and it is not easy."
The two of them drank tea and chatted.
Wu Gong asked: "When will you go home?"
"Go back after get off work." Tan Yue took a sip of tea: "I have something to do when I go back to my hometown this time. I will be back soon."
"I'm keeping an eye on you, so you can rest assured and go home to celebrate the New Year."
Tan Yue nodded and said, "With you here, I feel really relieved."
In the afternoon, just after getting off work, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in.
"Ah Yue, let's go back and pack our things quickly."
This year Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue returned to Jishui to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay, go home." Tan Yue turned off the computer, stood up and tidied up. It would be next year before he came back.
On the way home, Tan Yue asked with a smile: "Are you nervous about coming home with me this time to celebrate the New Year?"
"It's not like I've never been there before, so I'm not nervous at all." Chen Ziyu replied calmly. In fact, his heartbeat was already speeding up at this time.
It had been a few years since the last time I followed Tan Yue home. During that time, the two of them had been busy working and had no time to go there. They felt it was very rude.
"I think you don't seem too calm." Tan Yue smiled and revealed her pretense.
Chen Ziyu softly "hummed" and looked out the window with a smile on his face.
No matter what, I followed Tan Yue back to my hometown, and I felt very happy.
After they got home, they had a simple dinner and started packing. They couldn't stay in Jishui for a few days, so they didn't take many clothes, but the trunk couldn't fit them all. They were all gifts that Chen Ziyu bought for Tan Yue's parents.
Tan Yue kept saying that she didn't need to buy too much, but Chen Ziyu didn't care. She would continue to buy all kinds of nourishing gifts, clothes, etc. if the car couldn't fit them.
Tomorrow morning, the two of them will drive back to Jishui by themselves, and they will pack their things tonight.
"Ayue, my aunt called." Chen Ziyu came over with her phone.
Tan Yue put down the things in his hands and answered the phone: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing, I thought you would come back tomorrow, so I called to ask." Li Yulan's voice was a little excited: "Zi Yu will come back with you, right?"
Tan Yue smiled and replied: "Don't worry, we will go back early tomorrow morning, you just wait at home."
"Okay, okay!" Li Yulan said three times, unable to hide her happiness: "Tell me when you get here, your dad and I have prepared a table of delicious food for you, waiting for you to come back."
"Mom, let's not talk about it, we are packing up."
"You pack up first, pay attention to safety when you come back tomorrow, don't drive too fast."
"Okay." Tan Yue put down the phone and joked: "Zi Yu, my mother said that if I don't bring my daughter-in-law home this time, don't let me go back, even if I go back, I have to sleep on the street."
"Sleeping on the street is pretty good!"
The two chatted and laughed and continued to pack up.
The next morning.
Chen Ziyu woke up earlier than Tan Yue. Seeing that the time on his phone was over five o'clock, he put down his phone and prepared to go back to sleep. However, he could not fall asleep after tossing and turning. He felt inexplicably excited.
Although this was the second time he had officially gone to Tan Yue's house, he was still in the same mood as the first time.
In winter, the sun rises late, so the two decided to wait until the sun rose before setting off.
Chen Ziyu did not force himself to sleep. He lay on the bed and played with his phone and watched short videos.
He got up at around seven o'clock to prepare breakfast.
"Why did you get up so early today?" After washing up, Tan Yue prepared to get up and make breakfast. When he went downstairs, he found that breakfast was ready.
"I got up because I couldn't sleep." Chen Ziyu said, "Come and eat quickly."
After breakfast, the two packed up and drove out of Ruishan Community.
"Today's weather doesn't seem to be very good." Chen Ziyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a serious look on his face.
If it snowed heavily on the way home, it would be very likely that he would not be able to take the highway, and taking the national highway would inevitably delay time.
"The weather has been bad in the past two days."
The car passed through the ETC lane and went on the highway.
"There should be snow on the road." Chen Ziyu checked the weather conditions along the way on his mobile phone.
"It's okay, let's drive slowly on the road."
Chen Ziyu put down the phone and murmured in a low voice: "Don't snow."
The phone showed that there was heavy snow in several places along the way, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry, we will definitely get home today."
Tan Yue glanced at the time displayed on the navigation and focused on the situation on the road.
As long as it is not particularly heavy snow, the highway will not be closed under normal circumstances.
At this time, many people are on vacation, and there are more cars on the highway. Especially the section of highway just out of Beijing, which made Tan Yue feel like driving in the city, and he encountered several car accident scenes in the middle.
The weather was bad, the sky was dark, and the speed was much slower.
After more than two hours, the car stopped at a service area.
In order to avoid arousing too many people's doubts, Tan Yue deliberately found a relatively small service area, wore a mask and hat when he arrived at the place, and got off the car with his whole body huddled in his clothes.
Just when the two were resting, Xu Nuo called.
"Is it snowing on the road?"
Tan Yue looked at the weather outside: "No, but it's gray and the weather is very bad. You haven't set off yet, have you?"
Xu Nuo also drove home by himself.
"Not yet, I just got up and ate a little, thinking about leaving in a while, and I got home in more than four hours." Xu Nuo said indifferently.
"Pack up and leave quickly. It's hard to tell when it will snow in this weather."
"I'll leave in a while."
"He hasn't left yet?" Chen Ziyu asked.
Tan Yue put down the phone and said with a smile: "No, this fat guy won't go home until dark."
The two chatted in the car for a while and continued on the way home.
Fortunately, the weather was gray but there was no snow, and the car arrived in Jishui City smoothly.
"It's okay if it snows now, and we can get home quickly." As soon as Tan Yue's voice fell, light snow fell from the sky and hit the car glass head-on.
"This"
Tan Yue patted his mouth with his right hand, feeling that he was a bit of a pessimist, and prayed silently in his heart: I hope it won't snow heavily, otherwise I don't know when Fatty can get home.
The weather is really not good, and there is a high possibility of heavy snow.
I haven't been back for a long time, and Jishui City has not changed much. Familiar streets, familiar shopping malls, familiar construction sites.
"Do you still remember that street?"
"Of course I remember." Chen Ziyu's mouth corners unconsciously rose, revealing a smile.
The last time they came, the two of them walked around this street, and Tan Yue was almost recognized.
"Let's come back in two days."
"Okay!" Chen Ziyu agreed without hesitation: "You have to disguise yourself well this time."
The two chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the old courtyard in the suburbs.
Two big red lanterns were hung at the gate of the courtyard.
"Finally here!" Tan Yue parked the car in the open space opposite the door.
Chen Ziyu took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart: "Let's go."
"There are too many things. Take this much first and come back to the party."
The two people could no longer lift their hands, and there were still a lot of things in the trunk.
"Xiao Yue, Ziyu."
The voice from behind interrupted the conversation between the two people.
"Mom and Dad, why are you all out?" Tan Yue turned his head and saw his parents, sister-in-law and little girl Tan Xin: "Sister-in-law."
Li Yulan smiled and said: "If little Tan Xin hadn't heard the sound of your car, we wouldn't have known. I told you, don't take so many things home."
Chen Ziyu said: "Auntie, I haven't been here for a long time. These things are all for you and sister-in-law."
"Don't bring things when you come in the future. We are all family. It would be awkward to bring things again."
Tan Xin on the side had already hugged Tan Yue: "Uncle, you are finally back."
"I haven't seen you for so long, and you have grown taller. Come and see if you like the things Auntie bought for you?"
"Thank you, Auntie. I like everything Auntie bought." Tan Xin hugged her gift.
Father Tan said: "It's too cold outside. Let's go in quickly."
"Go, go, go."
Everyone in the family returned home with many things in their hands. Tan Yue ran twice before bringing in all the gifts he brought.
"Child, drink some tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Chen Ziyu chatted with Li Yulan and her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, these are some cosmetics I bought for you. I wonder what you like."
"This gift is too expensive."
"Just take it. This gift is specially prepared for you."
"Take it." Li Yulan said.
"Thank you, Ziyu."
The family sat together and chatted for a while, and a rich dinner was served.
"Ziyu, don't be polite, just treat it as coming to your own home." Li Yulan's smile never stopped, and she picked up a piece of meat and put it in Chen Ziyu's bowl.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Tan Yue said: "I haven't eaten home-cooked meals for a long time. They are better than those made by chefs."
"It's delicious, eat more. You have been busy with work all year round and you don't even come back once. I don't know who I can cook for."
"You must show off your cooking skills in the next few days."
Li Yulan turned her head and looked at Chen Ziyu: "Ziyu, tell me if you want to eat anything in the next few days."
The family had dinner with laughter.
At this time, Xu Nuo had just arrived in Jishui City.
