Nantianmen Project: Starting from Love Apartment

fifth day

This day was the day when Xiao Jie and his family returned to her mother's home. With full of joy and expectation, Xiao Jie and his family set out on the journey home.

After arriving at her mother's house, they were warmly welcomed and entertained. The family reunited together, filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiao Jie and his family bid farewell to her parents' home and returned home with reluctance.

eighth day

For my grandparents, today is the last day they spend at home.

Although they had smiles on their faces, Xiao Jie was keenly aware of the unspeakable discomfort deep in their hearts.

As time goes by, the excitement of the family gradually fades away, leaving only loneliness and silence. Grandparents may feel like they have had a long dream, and after waking up, everything returns to its original state.

On this day, everyone seemed to have telepathic connection and sat around their grandparents at the same time.

Some people chatted with them and shared their daily lives, while others watched TV with them and enjoyed the rare time together. Everyone tried their best to make the two elderly people feel cared for and warmed in their own way.

Ninth day

The two old people got up early because they wanted to prepare some dishes and some things for their three sons to take away.

Although the three sons refused in every possible way, they just couldn't persuade the two old people. In their words, there was no point in keeping the food as they couldn't finish it and would throw it away anyway, so they might as well let you take it away.

In this way, the three sons stuffed all the bags of vegetables into the trunk of the car.

Not only that, Xiao Jie and his friends also received snacks from their grandparents, but these snacks seemed to have expired.

After lunch.

After helping to clean up the house, everyone said goodbye to the two old people one by one.

"Goodbye, grandparents."

The five grandchildren were sitting in the car and saying goodbye to the two old people, while the two old people were standing outside the car and saying goodbye to the five grandchildren.

The car drove away, and the two old men stood at the door, watching them go away until they disappeared.

Not long after the car left, grandpa and grandma slowly walked into the house.

The two old men sat on chairs, looking at the empty house. The house that was bustling with activity a day ago had now become deserted.

The three sons thought about bringing the two elderly people to live with them, but the two elderly people refused because they were not used to it. In fact, they just didn't want to cause trouble for their sons.

……

Xiao Jie and his family returned home. They first cleaned the house and then sat on the sofa to chat.

"When are you leaving?" Lu Wan'er asked.

"It should be tomorrow." Xiao Jie said after thinking for a while.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Lu Wan'er asked.

Xiao Jie nodded and said, "I have to go back to preside over the work for the new year, and I also have to distribute tasks for the new year to the people below, so I'm quite busy."

"Okay." Lu Wan'er said a little disappointed.

"Don't be sad. Technology is so advanced nowadays. You will be back in half an hour." Xiao Jie comforted.

"Okay, you still know how to speak." Lu Wan'er said with a smile.

"hey-hey."

……

The next day

After lunch

Lu Wan'er sent Xiao Jie to the car and reminded him, "Be careful on the road, remember to eat on time, drink plenty of water, and..."

Lu Wan'er gave instructions for a full minute before stopping.

"I know, Mom." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"Bye." The mother waved to her son in the car.

"Bye." The son waved to his mother outside the car.

Then the car slowly drove away.

……

Not long after, Xiao Jie arrived at the Origin Research Institute.

On the way back to the office, he met many people, all of whom greeted him warmly, and Xiao Jie responded with a bright smile.

After entering the office, Xiao Jie asked, "Xiao Yuan, have all the employees of the Origin Research Institute returned yet?"

"Except for those who are enjoying paid leave, everyone else has returned to work." Origin answered truthfully.

Xiao Jie nodded slightly to show his approval, and then issued an order: "Issue a notice to all employees, informing them that they need to go to the conference room to attend a meeting at 9 am tomorrow."

"Understood." Origin replied.

……

The next day

Xiao Jie stepped into the conference room with steady steps, his eyes firm and confident. At this moment, the conference room was already crowded with people.

Xiao Jie walked straight to the staff member in charge of attendance and asked softly, "Is everyone here?"

The person in charge of attendance lowered his head and carefully checked the data on the computer screen. After a moment, he looked up and replied with a smile, "Almost done. There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet, but the rest of my colleagues are basically in place."

Xiao Jie nodded slightly to show that he understood the situation. Then he sat quietly aside, closed his eyes, and quickly sorted out the important matters that were to be discussed next in his mind.

Not long after, the person in charge of attendance reminded: "President Xiao, everyone is here, please start your speech."

Xiao Jie suddenly came back to his senses, nodded slightly, stood up and walked towards the podium.

After standing still, Xiao Jie first tested whether the microphone was working properly. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled, glanced at everyone in the audience, and said kindly: "Dear colleagues, Happy New Year!" His voice was loud and powerful.

The people in the audience responded one after another, shouting in unison: "Happy New Year!" The sound was like a tide, full of joy and vitality.

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile showing on the corner of his mouth, and then he asked, "Did you all have a good time during the Spring Festival?"

"very good!"

Everyone answered with a smile in unison.

"That's great." Xiao Jie also showed a look of relief on his face, and smiled softly: "As long as everyone can enjoy the festival."

Then Xiao Jie put away his smile and his expression became serious. He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Now that the New Year has passed, you should all calm down and focus on your work. Next, I will tell you about the various arrangements for the new year. Please listen carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent. Everyone straightened their backs, sat upright, and stared at Xiao Jie with burning eyes. Everyone's face showed an extremely serious expression, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to what Xiao Jie was going to announce next.

“There are many things to do this year. First of all, the Ninth Secretary should start construction in late February or early March if nothing goes wrong, so some of your departments will be busy.

Then, in June this year, the National Highest Science and Technology Award, the National Natural Science Award, and the National Science and Technology Progress Award will be announced, so comrades who want to participate in the awards can make preparations. Here, I hope to see our comrades on the podium.

Next, let’s talk about the working funds…”

Xiao Jie gave a speech for an hour, and then handed the report over to other laboratory heads.

After another hour, Xiao Jie made a brief conclusion and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
