Chapter 536

"We're really at the company?"

"From Gansu Province to the Magic City, it really only took an hour?"

"This speed, it's almost catching up to a fighter jet..."

"This is too absurd..."

Just as Gu Hua was feeling shocked, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Gu Hua?"

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Hua turned around. After seeing clearly who was speaking, his entire body shuddered, and he froze on the spot.

His heart was drenched in cold sweat in an instant.

"Mr... Mr. Wang, why are you here?"

The person speaking was none other than the supervisor of Gu Hua's company, surnamed Wang.

He was known for being harsh and short-tempered, and this so-called Mr. Wang had never given a kind look to ordinary employees like Gu Hua.

Just as Gu Hua was racking his brains, trying to think of how to explain all this.

Mr. Wang, on the side, cast a glance and happened to see Luo Fang beside Gu Hua, a strange smile immediately appearing on his face.

"Accompanying your girlfriend?"

"No, no!"

Gu Hua was sweating profusely, his face flushed red.

You have to know, today was Wednesday, and he had taken a day off from the company just to go look at houses!

Who would have thought he would run into his immediate superior right under the company building!

And it was that Mr. Wang, rumored to be the most vicious of them all!

And behind him, there was a girl following...

This kind of thing, he probably couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Was he going to be fired...

"Mr. Wang! You've got it wrong! This person is just a friend of mine..."

"Not my girlfriend!"

"I, Gu Hua, have long since made the company my home; I don't need a girlfriend at all!"

"Mr. Wang! I'll go up and work right now! I'll make up for the leave I took today over the weekend!!"

"Please, you are a magnanimous person..."

However, the angry scolding Gu Hua imagined did not come.

"What overtime? What work?"

"Little Gu..."

"We're on holiday this afternoon anyway!" Mr. Wang's puzzled voice came through.

"I was even confused when I saw your leave request this morning... It's a holiday today, why are you asking for leave, kid?"

Gu Hua, standing to the side, looked even more confused...

It was already a holiday?

Gu Hua only felt his head spinning.

He had no idea what was happening...

"Isn't today Wednesday?"

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

With his company's past habits, they would have loved to split one week into eight days.

They called it '996', but even on Sundays, there would still be a pile of work to take home to finish.

How could it possibly be a holiday on a Wednesday?

"Yes! Today is indeed Wednesday!"

"But didn't the country issue a decree?"

"It strictly forbids any unit or enterprise from working overtime, especially internet companies like ours; they are strictly forbidden from overtime, and they even require us 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 kind of situation is this?

"When did this act start being implemented? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

Mr. Wang was stunned upon hearing this, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Probably last week! Little Gu, you should pay more attention to outside news! Burying your head in work all the time isn't a good thing!"

"It was just implemented, and the leaders above went almost door-to-door to warn the company bosses repeatedly..."

"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 their business licenses were revoked..."

Listening to Mr. Wang'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, Laozi only dared to dream about not working overtime...

Who would have thought that once the country took action, it would immediately take four and a half days!

Seeing Gu Hua standing there stunned without replying, Mr. Wang on the side didn't intend to keep pestering him.

"Little Gu! Let's stop talking for now!"

"I have to go home to accompany my wife and children too. After working for so many years, I can finally get 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..."

Mr. Wang muttered, patted Gu Hua on the shoulder lightly, and walked away in a hurry.

Clearly, someone like Mr. Wang was just middle management in the company.

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

Now that they were on holiday, he couldn't be happier.

As he walked, Mr. Wang suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Gu Hua.

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

"Don't be late!"

"Understood!"

Hearing Mr. Wang's instructions, Gu Hua finally regained his senses 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, his mind constantly pondering what had happened today.

This happiness came too suddenly!

The country first gifted a villa, then effectively gave away a flying shuttle for free.

In the end, they even banned 996!

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

This kind of life, in the past, Gu Hua wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

And now, it had actually become reality!

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

He froze on the spot.

"Mom?"

"Why are you here?"

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

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

"Did you not eat well again? Didn't I tell you, when you're out working hard, you have to take care of your health..."
