Chapter 133 Come to My House for Chinese New Year

The door of the research institute was rarely closed, and Xu Yi walked in directly, and saw Akali sitting cross-legged on the floor of the living room, folding the clothes stacked beside her and putting them in a package next to them.

It looks like he is packing his luggage.

Akali, who sensed someone walking in, looked up and saw Xu Yi, and immediately extended her hand to him.

"Master President, give the money quickly, I'm waiting for the money to go home."

Xu Yi smiled, took out a long-prepared purse from his arms and threw it away.

Akali took the purse and felt her hands sink. She opened the purse and dumped the gold coins in it on the ground. After counting them carefully, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Seventy-six gold coins? That's a lot! I said, President Sir, you are not mistaken, are you?"

At this time, Evita, who heard the movement upstairs, came down the stairs, and next to her was Steele, who made a special trip to see them off today.

Hearing the numbers reported by Akali, even Evita, who has always been quiet, was taken aback: "President, how come there are so many?"

Steele was not surprised, just looked at Evita and Akali with a smile.

"In addition to the twenty-six gold coins added up last month and this month, there are fifty gold coins as a year-end bonus for you." Xu Yi explained.

"Year-end award?" Evita and Akali looked at each other with a puzzled expression. "What does it mean?"

"It's literally. At the end of the year, in order to reward you for your hard work this year, we will give you some extra bonuses." Xu Yi replied. "In view of the outstanding work of the two of you, and to reflect the importance of the researchers, the Chamber of Commerce decided to give you a higher year-end bonus than the average employee. It was finally determined at fifty gold coins. How is it? I feel satisfied. ?"

"Of course satisfied." Akali jumped up from the ground. An arm that hugged Xu Yi shook it vigorously. "Lord President. I really love you! I took so much money to go home for the New Year, and my parents will be very happy when they find out!"

"That's really congratulations to you." Xu Yi calmly pulled out his arm, took out two other money bags from his arms and handed them to Evita and Steele.

Evita took the purse and said thank you softly, but did not open it to count.

Steele put the purse directly into his small bag without any special indication.

Seeing that Akali was putting the gold coins on the ground back into the purse, Xu Yi suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing to inform you in advance. Starting from next year, the basic salary of the three of you will be increased once, from now on Fifteen gold coins a month have been raised to twenty gold coins."

"Ah?" The three of them looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

Akali couldn't help but said, "How could you improve so much at once? Lord President, have you suddenly become rich?"

"I've been making a fortune for more than half a year, okay?" Xu Yi rolled her eyes at her. "What? Do you want to raise your salary? If you don't want to, then I will give Evita and Steele a raise. Can you keep it as it is?"

"Don't, I'm very willing!" Akali waved her hands quickly and pleaded: "Master President, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

Xu Yi snorted softly and looked left and right. He asked again: "Have you packed your luggage yet? It's already late. If you don't hurry up, you will miss the carriage."

Evita sighed and glanced at Akali: "If it wasn't for Akali, we would have packed up long ago."

"It's too troublesome to find things." Akali muttered, speeding up the movements in her hands.

The girl packed her things, so Xu Yi was naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time. After saying two words of blessing to the two of them on the road, she said goodbye and planned to leave.

Before reaching the gate, Steele stopped him.

"Xu Yi, are you planning to go home after the holiday?"

"Go home?" Xu Yi stayed for a while. "Go home to what?"

"Go back to your home." Steele asked naturally. "I remember you're not from Bangta, right? It's New Year's Eve, so of course you have to go back to your hometown. Speaking of which, I've never heard you mention your hometown. Where is your hometown?"

Hearing Steele's question, Evita and Akali also stopped their movements and looked over curiously.

"Hometown?" Xu Yi silently recited the word twice and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His hometown is not in this world at all, how can he go back?

Looking at the curious eyes of the three, Xu Yi shook his head and sighed, "My hometown can't be returned now, so I will stay here for the new year."

"Can't go back?" The three of them became even more curious, and Akali immediately asked: "Lord President, what does it mean that you can't go back? Is it because your hometown has been destroyed? Or because you are actually Was kicked out?"

"Akali!" Evita shouted in a rare snarl, glaring at Akali fiercely.

Akali immediately came to his senses, stuck out her tongue, and whispered, "Master President, I'm just curious, nothing else, don't get me wrong."

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. But don't ask me where my hometown is in the future. I don't want to bring up this topic."

Akali nodded obediently immediately.

Although Xu Yi still had a smile on her face, Avita could clearly see the deep melancholy hidden under Xu Yi's smile. Seeing the sadness in Xu Yi's eyes, Avita couldn't help but feel A pain in my heart.

The president, who looks extremely confident at all times and doesn't seem to be knocked down by anything, turns out to have such a weak side.

In an instant, Evita had the urge to hug Xu Yi in her arms and comfort him softly.

Evita was just impulsive, but Steele directly put it into action.

Under the surprised gazes of Evita and Akali, Steele stepped forward, gently hugged Xu Yi with open arms, and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, and we won't ask any questions in the future. of."

Xu Yi was startled by Steele's sudden embrace, and felt the aroma emanating from Steele's body, and his body froze at first. Then relax. He smiled and said, "It's not that serious. You don't have to worry about it."

Steele hugged and let go immediately. Judging from her slightly stiff movements and the blush on her face, she was actually a little nervous.

There was a strange silence in the room, and after a while, Steele sorted out the expression on his face and asked, "Since you are staying here for the New Year, it will be better. If you have nowhere else to go. , why don't you come to my house for the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, my parents will also come back. With my grandfather and me, the house is very lively. If you come too, it will be even more lively. Grandpa has always liked you very much. I just want to invite you to my house as a guest. And I believe that your parents will like you when they see it. Do you want to come?"

Looking at Steele's expectant eyes, Xu Yi thought for a while, but shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll betray your good intentions. Although I will stay during the Chinese New Year, there is still work to be done. Because I promised Alright, Anise, visit them within the year. This trip may take a while, and the holidays will be over by the time you come back."

"Anis?" Steele's face just showed a look of disappointment, but he didn't speak. Akali shouted first: "Master President, this Yanis... should be a girl by name?"

"Well. It's really a girl, what's wrong?" Xu Yi nodded and asked back.

"What's wrong? You still ask what's wrong!" Akali raised her voice with an angry look on her face. "Steel has already invited you to her house for the New Year, and has to introduce you to her parents, but you have to refuse her in order to go to another girl! Lord President, you are too careless. !"

Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "Fascinated? Why am I distracted?"

"Okay, Mr. President, I really misread you. I thought you were a good man, and I used to like you quite a bit. I didn't expect you to be such a person, I..."

Akali didn't say anything after that, but Evita and Steele tightly covered their mouths together.

Seeing Akali's angry expression and Steele's embarrassed blushing face, Xu Yi woke up no matter how sluggish he was. He laughed and said, "Akali, you misunderstood. I went to Yanis's place because of work. Steele is also clear about the matter above, you say, Steele?"

Steele nodded and hummed, but there was still a hint of disappointment in his expression.

Akali stopped struggling and looked at Steele with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand why she was reacting this way.

Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that these little girls are really sensitive and changeable, and it is too difficult to deal with.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi said to Steele: "If the work goes well and I come back a little earlier, I will visit your house. At the very least, I will also send New Year's greetings to your grandfather. Isn't it? Of course, it would be better if I could meet your parents. I'm curious what kind of parents gave birth to such a wonderful and beautiful girl as you."

Steele's pretty face instantly turned red again, Evita and Akali looked at Xu Yi in surprise, and were very surprised that he would say such a thing.

Akali took off the hands of the two men covering her mouth, and couldn't help but said, "Master President, I thought you were just a piece of wood, and you wouldn't say anything to compliment girls."

Xu Yi laughed; "This is not a compliment, but the truth. You see, I am also curious about what kind of parents would give birth to a girl as lively and curious as you are Akali. ."

"This is not a compliment..." Akali glared at Xu Yi angrily.

Xu Yi smiled again, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here. There's not much time, you should hurry up and pack up and get ready to go. By the way, ask your parents for me. Happy New Year, just say thank you to their wonderful daughter for her outstanding contribution to our New Flying Chamber of Commerce."

Evita and Akali responded and turned around to help Akali pack up.

Seeing that Xu Yi was about to leave the gate, Steele suddenly shouted, "Xu Yi, I'm going too!"

"Ah?" Xu Yi turned around in amazement. "Where are you going?"

"Anis's there!"

Evita and Akali again involuntarily stopped their movements and looked at Steele in amazement.

Seeing Steele's serious expression, Xu Yi couldn't help but tap his head with a headache.

What are these little girls thinking?
