Chapter 1137: It

"Isn't today Wednesday?"

Gu Hua took out his phone, checked it again and again, and after confirming that today was indeed Wednesday, the confusion in his heart grew even stronger.

Given the way his company used to be, they would have preferred to split a week into eight days to use.

Even though they called it 996, on Sundays, there would still be a mountain of work that needed to be taken home to finish.

How could it be possible to have a holiday on a Wednesday?

"Yeah! Today is indeed Wednesday!"

"But hasn't the country issued a decree?"

"It strictly forbids any unit or enterprise from working overtime, especially internet companies like ours; they are strictly prohibited from overtime, and we are even required to provide a holiday on Wednesday afternoons, initially implementing a four-and-a-half-day work week…"

"It's being enforced very strictly…"

The country issued a decree strictly forbidding overtime?

What on earth is going on?

"When did they start pushing this bill? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

Secretary Xiao Zhang was stunned upon hearing this and wore a thoughtful expression.

"Probably last week! Little Gu, you really should pay more attention to news from the outside! Always burying your head in work is not a good thing!"

"It was just pushed through, and the leaders above almost went door-to-door to give strict instructions to company bosses…"

"A few company bosses even boasted that they had connections reaching the heavens and tried to pull a fast one, but they were reported by their own subordinates, and even their business licenses were revoked…"

Listening to Secretary Xiao Zhang's account, Gu Hua was completely dumbfounded.

A four-and-a-half-day work week…

What kind of heavenly life is this!

In the past, I only dared to dream about not working overtime…

Who would have thought that once the country took action, it would go straight to four and a half days!

Seeing Gu Hua standing there in a daze without responding, Secretary Xiao Zhang had no intention of continuing to pester him.

"Little Gu! I won't say any more!"

"I have to go home to accompany my wife and children; I've been busy for so many years, and I can finally have a good rest…"

"I've always promised my little girl I'd take her to the amusement park, and now, I finally have the time…"

Secretary Xiao Zhang muttered, patted Gu Hua on the shoulder lightly, and walked away in a hurry.

Clearly, someone like Secretary Xiao Zhang was only a middle-level manager at the company.

That workaholic persona he had on weekdays wasn't just for the higher-ups to see.

Now that there was a holiday, he couldn't be happier.

As he walked, Secretary Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped and looked back at Gu Hua.

"Little Gu! Remember to be on time for work tomorrow morning!"

"Don't be late!"

"Understood!"

Hearing Secretary Xiao Zhang's instructions, Gu Hua finally snapped out of it and hurriedly agreed.

"I will definitely work hard!"

……

On the way back to Gansu Province.

Gu Hua looked at the floating clouds outside the car window, but his mind kept pondering what had happened today.

This happiness had come far too suddenly!

The country first gave out villas, then effectively gave away a shuttle for free.

In the end, they even banned 996!

They forcibly implemented a four-and-a-half-day work week!

In the past, Gu Hua wouldn't have even dared to dream of this kind of life.

And now, it had actually turned into reality!

Finally, the shuttle landed steadily at the villa. Gu Hua got out, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a haggard figure standing at the door.

He was instantly stunned on the spot.

"Mom?"

"How did you get here?"

Seeing her son, Gu Mu was instantly moved to tears.

"Little Hua, how did you get so thin…"

"Did you not eat properly again? Didn't I tell you, even when you're out working hard, you have to take care of your health…" ===== CHAPTER 1139 =====
