Inside Zhongxin's studio, it's quiet, with only the sound of rustling brushes sketching various comic characters.

Seeing the New Year coming, Wang Rui and Li Xiaole finally completed all the episodes of "Slam Dunk" in the second half of the year after three days of overtime work.

It had been several months since they arrived in Jiangcheng, and as the New Year was approaching, they made a request to Wei Jianfen and Li Yongguo to go home early.

When the two of them received the benefits from Zhongxin Studio and the sleeper train tickets from Li Yongguo, their mouths never closed.

They never dreamed that Li Zhongxin would give them such high benefits, and they were so scared that they peed in the toilet.

Each person's monthly salary plus twenty brand-new Tutuan Unites, and the colorful foreign exchange coupons worth one thousand yuan were blinding to their eyes. The salary of three hundred and fifty yuan, plus twenty Tuan Tui Units,

It was already a thick stack, and with the handful of colorful foreign exchange coupons, it was more shocking than the box of money given out during the Chinese New Year. There was also the era of rounded cents, and the monthly salary of people across the country was more than thirty.

When the money was coming, the two of them suddenly received the New Year's salary and benefits from Zhongxin Company, and their bodies could not help but feel trembling.

Taking the free sleeper train, the two of them rushed back to their hometowns on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Wang Ruijia is a native of Shanghai, and he has a deep affection for the Shanghai Art Studio. After returning to Shanghai, he went to the Shanghai Art Studio to see the old factory where he had worked for many years, and took pictures inside the factory.

On the internal phone, he called several colleagues with whom he had good relationships before, and he wanted to treat them to a meal.

At this time, Wang Rui neither wanted to show off how good his current job was, nor did he think of recruiting people for Zhongxin Comics Studio, because unlike Li Yongguo, he had worked here for six years.

He has a deep affection for the factory, and he simply wants to treat his colleagues to a meal.

Wang Rui Hotel is located not far from the Shanghai Art Studio. It is a small restaurant called Benbang Old Restaurant. People in Shanghai like to eat Benbang cuisine, which is local cuisine.

This old local restaurant has always been Wang Rui's favorite restaurant. It is economical and affordable. The most important thing is that the taste there is much better than other restaurants, and it is relatively close to the Shanghai Art Studio.

The so-called Shanghai local cuisine is the local cuisine of Shanghai. It is characterized by a large amount of soy sauce and rock sugar. It has a rich and delicious taste, sweet and sweet, and is won by real ingredients and slow cooking. Every dish looks unique.

It's oily, red and has a solid portion. The representative dishes are Caotou Circle, Zaobotou, Shrimp and Black Ginseng, Braised Bald Lung and Braised Pork Fish, etc.

Because Wang Rui was treating a guest, he came to the old restaurant of the old restaurant early. Thinking of the relationship between everyone and the care they took for him, Wang Rui also became cruel and sent the old restaurant of the old restaurant to him.

I ordered all the most delicious dishes in the restaurant.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that Wang Rui ordered two signature dishes that he has coveted for many years.

The two signature dishes of this old restaurant are Babao Duck and Hujiang Pork Ribs. Wang Rui has worked in Shanghai Art Studio for five or six years. He has seen others order them, but has never eaten them, even if they are treated by others.

No one spends a lot of money to order two dishes like this. This time back in Shanghai, Wang Ruixiang made this dream come true.

Just as Wang Rui finished ordering and was waiting for his colleagues, he suddenly saw that Shen Zaixi, surrounded by Ma Puxing and several others, had entered the old restaurant.

Wang Rui raised his eyebrows and immediately greeted him warmly.

"Hey, aren't these Leader Shen and a few old colleagues? We haven't seen each other for a long time, but they still look good!"

He really didn't expect that Shen Zaixi, Ma Puxing and a few others would also have a New Year dinner at this place, but what!

Wang Rui has forgotten a lot about the things that these people excluded him in the past. What's more, if they didn't treat him and Li Yongguo like that, how could the two of them get together in Zhongxin Comics Studio and make such progress? .

Wang Ruike heard Li Zhongxin say that the two years from 1982 to 1984 were two years for them to accumulate. After this period of time, they, the old employees of Zhongxin Comics Studio, they Li Zhongxin will help establish his own comic studio, and his works will be sold all over the country and even around the world.

If he were still in the Shanghai Art Studio now, he would still be just hanging around and waiting to die. He would have no future or development at all, let alone the working environment he likes now.

For all this, I really have to thank Shen Zaixi. Therefore, when Wang Rui and Shen Zaixi greeted each other, the joy on their faces was very sincere.

Shen Zaixi was slightly startled when he saw Wang Rui greeting him with a smile, but he quickly said hello and replied: "Hey, isn't this Wang Rui? He has been out of town for a long time, but he seems to be more relaxed. He immediately touched his forehead pretendingly and said: "By the way, where are you going? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely be able to help you. No matter what, you can help me." He is also an excellent comrade working in the studio."

The meaning of Shen Zaixi's words is not deep. People with high emotional intelligence can understand the meaning at once.

To be more leisurely means to have lost some weight. In the 1980s, when people said they had gone to other places to lose weight, it meant they were ridiculed because they were not doing well in other places.

Shen Zaixi asked where he went again. It was obvious that the place Wang Rui went to was not good. He didn't even remember it. As for what he said later about helping Wang Rui solve his difficulties, he just said casually, how good are the airdrops? That makes sense.

He said this! There are two reasons. One is that it reflects his high integrity. His subordinates resigned. If there are difficulties, he will help. He has a broad mind that others cannot match.

The second is to ridicule Wang Rui when he goes to work in other places. He should be unsatisfied in various aspects, and the old leader must be good and take the initiative to help him.

It's just that these words are all polite and empty words. If Wang Rui really asked Shen Zaixi for help, he would have given Wang Rui a huge favor without adding insult to injury.

When a leader plays politics, what he says must be carefully studied many times before he can understand it clearly.

However, Wang Rui belongs to the kind of person with high IQ and low EQ. Otherwise, he would not have been a common man with a flat head in the Shanghai Art Studio for five or six years, and he would not be so unpopular with the leaders. .

Wang Rui was very down-to-earth, and when he heard Shen Zaixi say that if he had any difficulties, Shen Zaixi would help him, he immediately felt warm in his heart.

He smiled shyly and said: "Thank you, Leader Shen, for your concern. I'm fine in Jiangcheng. It's very good. If the leader has time to go to Jiangcheng, I will make arrangements for the whole journey and take you to have fun for a few days." .I’m here to treat some colleagues from our factory to dinner, so I won’t disturb you. Once you have eaten, I will toast you or bring you a dish.”

When Ma Puxing, who was next to Shen Zaixi, heard that Wang Rui was inviting him to dinner, he walked over and asked slightly sarcastically: "Wang Rui, I just heard that you went to a small place like Jiangcheng where no one has shit. How are you treated?" Ah? If you can’t survive anymore, come to your old colleagues to help introduce jobs! If there is no job, our department is short of someone to serve tea and water, otherwise you can go to work in our department! "

Ma Puxing is Shen Zaixi's most valued employee. He doesn't even look down on people like Li Yongguo and Wang Rui.

Ma Puxing has always felt that the two of them are just better at painting. They are regular graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts. They always act like intellectuals and have extremely low emotional intelligence. Such people can hang out everywhere. not understand.

Wang Rui just said that he is now in Jiangcheng. In other words, the two of them can no longer hang out, and they have all gone to the northeasternmost place in China where no one dares to poop. Such a guy will be severely punished. A few steps on it will not only make the leader happy, but also his colleagues.

After Wang Rui heard what Ma Puxing said, he became very angry.

A guy like Ma Puxing, who is a bullshit and only knows how to flatter others, is such a rat excrement that spoils a good pot of soup.

If it weren't for the fact that there are guys like this in the Shanghai Art Studio who don't understand shit, the Shanghai Art Studio wouldn't have experienced a decline in performance and fewer and fewer good works.

Thinking that the Chinese New Year was about to come, there was no need to get angry with such people. Wang Ruihan said quickly and vaguely with a face: "I don't have to worry about you sycophants, I have a pretty good life."

Ma Puxing was so happy when he saw Wang Rui's angry look! When he heard Wang Rui call him a flatterer, he immediately glared at Wang Rui with fire-like eyes and said viciously : "How do you talk? If you have the guts, try saying it again. Who do you think is a flatterer? I want to help you with good intentions, but how can you talk like this?"

Wang Rui looked confused for a moment and asked Shen Zaixi in an unclear manner: "Boss Shen, look at how Ma Puxing's ears don't work! When did I call him a flatterer? Look at his attitude of wanting to eat people, why is he so angry? His name is Ma Puxing, I just said that he doesn't need to care."

Wang Rui is a native of Shanghai, but after staying in Jiangcheng for a long time, he always has the idea of ​​​​beating people.

But! Wang Rui knows that he is a cultured person and should not do such rude things. It is far better to annoy the enemy with words than to fight with him. And if a fight breaks out, he will not be able to defeat that tall and powerful person. Ma Puxing.

Shen Zaixi glared at Ma Puxing, reached out and patted Wang Rui on the shoulder, and said pleasantly: "Don't be like Ma Puxing. This kid just likes to make jokes. Let's go in and eat first."

Shen Zaixi understood in his heart that this was the incident that Ma Puxing started. It was almost the New Year, and Wang Rui still gave him face. It was a bit unkind for Ma Puxing to do such a thing.

After Wang Rui saw Ma Puxing and others surrounding Shen Zaixi entering the box at the back, he walked directly to the door to wait for his colleagues.

Seeing Yang Lingling, Meng Hongwei, and Zhong Aiguo coming together, he immediately welcomed them into box number six.

Seeing that everyone was here, he immediately ordered the waiter to serve wine and food.

When Meng Hongwei saw that the hotel staff actually brought four cold drinks and a bottle of Moutai, he immediately said excitedly: "Yang Lingling, look, Wang Rui has made a fortune, and the wine is all Moutai.

You have to drink some today, this kind of good wine is not common."

Wang Rui opened the wine and said with a smile: "Brother Meng is joking, how can I make a fortune? It's the Chinese New Year. I treat you all to a meal. Before I leave, you all gave me a practice banquet. I'm back."

, I also want to treat everyone to something delicious."

Just as everyone was laughing and joking about pouring the wine, Ma Puxing walked in from outside carrying a bottle of liquor from the Shanghai Grottoes, and said with a smile: "Our leader Shen Zaixi saw that they are all colleagues of the unit, so he specially

Come here and let me bring you a bottle of good wine."

Ma Puxing looked at the four cold dishes on the table, and the corners of his mouth immediately curved into an arc. He said with a smile: "You can't make money in a place where birds can't poop. Look at these dishes."
