118: Chapter 118 The meaning of reunion is manifested at this moment!

Fanmi Technology, fourth floor.

Even on New Year's Eve, Lin Wenwu and the others dared not relax for a moment; everyone in the room was working tensely, with the sound of keyboards clicking filling the air.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound from a stomach rang out. Lin Wenwu turned his head to look at Wu Lang.

Wu Lang rubbed his stomach and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm a bit hungry!"

"Let's order some food for everyone. It's New Year's Eve, we should eat well. I'll pay!"

Lin Wenwu said.

"Manager Lin, I asked earlier this afternoon. The restaurants we usually order from are all closed. I'm afraid we can only eat instant noodles!" Wu Lang said with a wry smile.

"Are they all closed?" Lin Wenwu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the others who were still busy. He felt conflicted and sighed.

"Forget it, then let's just make do with some instant noodles to fill our stomachs. I'll find a way to get you all something good to eat tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Wu Lang nodded.

He immediately stood up, ready to make the instant noodles.

At this moment, Lin Wenwu's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID.

"A call from Manager Lei?"

Wu Lang, who had just stood up, paused. He saw that Lin Wenwu had already answered the phone.

"Manager Lei, do you have any instructions?"

"Tell everyone to come to the new office building's cafeteria for the New Year's Eve dinner. Not a single person is allowed to be missing!" Lei Jun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Understood, we'll be there right away!"

Lin Wenwu's eyes lit up. He hung up the phone, clapped his hands, and said to everyone:

"Everyone, stop for a moment. Let's go eat something first. Manager Lei has prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for us!"

Hearing this, everyone in the office raised their heads, their eyes lighting up as well.

"Let's go, let's go. I thought we were going to have to eat instant noodles again tonight. Manager Lei is still thinking of us!"

"I really am a bit hungry. My stomach has been growling for a while. Manager Lei is awesome!"

"Let's go, let's go. Let's finish eating quickly and come back to continue working. I should be able to finish this section of the code tonight!"

"..."

Everyone stood up one after another, rubbing their rumbling, hungry stomachs while walking out of the office.

A group of people marched towards the elevator.

Wu Lang took out his phone at this moment and dialed his home number, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering. He put his phone away, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"No one answered?" Lin Wenwu, who was walking beside him, noticed this and asked.

"They're probably eating the New Year's Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala. When our family celebrates the New Year, we usually have the TV volume up pretty high, so they might not have heard it!" Wu Lang smiled.

"If I remember correctly, your son is 5 years old, right?" Lin Wenwu nodded, then asked with a smile.

"Yes, he'll be 5 after the New Year. He's a bit mischievous and always makes his mom angry!" Wu Lang said with feigned annoyance, but his eyes were filled with irrepressible smiles.

"Sigh, I haven't been back for over half a year. I don't know how they are doing. They always say everything is fine on the phone..."

Hearing this, Lin Wenwu fell silent. He couldn't help but think of his own wife and child, and sighed inwardly.

In previous years, this was the time for family reunions and happiness, but he had been too busy over the past half year to go back.

He was slightly better off; his child was older than Wu Lang's, already in middle school, but that age was the rebellious phase, and he was actually a bit worried.

They say children in their rebellious phase are the hardest to handle!

"Just endure a little longer. Once this project is finished, I'll give everyone a long vacation!" Lin Wenwu patted Wu Lang on the shoulder.

The elevator slowly descended. Everyone got off the floor one after another and headed towards the new office building's cafeteria.

Along the way, Lin Wenwu could clearly feel that everyone's mood wasn't very good. They just walked in silence, obviously missing home.

The distance between the old office building and the new one wasn't far, just a few hundred meters. Soon, everyone saw the lights ahead.

Under the lights, the decoration of the building's cafeteria made them pause. With couplets posted and red lanterns hung, it was unexpectedly full of the New Year atmosphere.

Seeing this, everyone slowed their pace, and suddenly felt a lump in their throats.

"Manager Lei did this on purpose, didn't he..."

"I could have held it in, but seeing these red lanterns and couplets, I suddenly miss home even more..."

"Why do this? With it set up like this, how can we have the heart to work later!"

"..."

Seeing the bright lights and the festive atmosphere, everyone had mixed feelings.

"That is..."

At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out of the cafeteria entrance, all wearing festive clothes and holding red lanterns with the character "Fu" (blessing) written on them.

They looked at everyone with smiles.

"Daddy, Daddy!!"

Several children rushed out from the crowd and ran towards Wu Lang and the others.

Wu Lang's body trembled. Seeing one of the small figures running towards him, he subconsciously crouched down and opened his arms.

"Daddy!!"

The small body crashed into his arms. Wu Lang instinctively hugged him tight, not having reacted for a moment.

"Chenchen, why are you here?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Mom brought me here!"

Wu Lang subconsciously looked at the crowd at the cafeteria entrance not far away. Sure enough, he saw a familiar, beautiful figure among them, waving at him.

"Daddy, Mom told me to call you to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Chenchen even helped the aunts make dumplings! Come quickly, Chenchen is hungry..."

The small hand held the big hand, walking forward. Wu Lang followed subconsciously, walking towards his wife who was also coming to meet him.

He never imagined that his wife and child, whom he missed day and night, would suddenly appear before his eyes. Everything felt like a dream, so unreal!

"Honey, you've worked hard. Let's eat!"

The gentle voice reached his ears. Wu Lang couldn't hold back anymore. He picked up his son and hugged his wife tightly at the same time, his eyes instantly tearing up.

"Okay, let's eat!"

"..."

Beside him, Lin Wenwu and the others were also stunned at this moment, looking at the smiling faces of their loved ones in the crowd, waiting for them to come home just like in previous years.

The lanterns they were holding illuminated the somewhat dim path. Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace and embrace their loved ones tightly.

A reunion from thousands of miles away; at this moment, the meaning of reunion seemed to be embodied. More and more people had red-rimmed eyes, their voices choked with sobs.

Lin Wenwu also watched his wife and son walking towards him. He only felt his nose stinging painfully, and he walked forward quickly with a smile on his face.

"Why did you all come?"

"Your company called and invited us to come here to spend the New Year together. I thought there was nothing going on at home anyway, so I brought our son!" she said with a gentle, smiling voice.

Lin Wenwu reacted instantly.

His gaze couldn't help but look at the two figures ahead. Lei Jun and Zhou Fan were also standing at the cafeteria entrance, looking at everyone with smiles.

"Dad, when will the Fanmi second-generation phone be released? Many of my classmates are discussing it!" A youthful voice suddenly rang out.

"You brat, you came here just to ask about this!" Lin Wenwu rubbed his son's hair with feigned annoyance, drawing a complaint.

"Considering you're so sensible, when the second-generation phone is released, I'll mail you one!"

"Really!!!"

"You brat, let's go, let's eat first!"

"Alright, Dad is awesome!!"

"Look at your son, he has no seriousness..."

"It's the New Year, stop scolding him all the time!"

"Okay, I won't say anything more!"

Everyone laughed, feeling the long-lost warmth, and marched towards the cafeteria.
