In the living room, Xu's father was turning off the TV and the heater, and casually replied: "She won't be back until tomorrow. She said that the research project in hand has reached a critical stage."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little dazed.

It seems to be the case. Xu Xiao returned from studying abroad this year and took over Musk's Neuralink brain-computer interface company. He is no longer a student.

It seems that they have all grown up.

After coming back to his senses, Xu Chuan smiled and said hello to his father who was packing his things.

"Dad, I'm going up first."

"Go on, go on. Your mother has cleaned the room cleanly today, and the quilts and everything are all new."

...

The next day, afternoon.

After lunch, Xu Xiao has not come back yet.

Coming down from the second floor at a stuck time, listening to the sound of firecrackers and fireworks from time to time on the graveyard in the distance, Xu Chuan's eyes fell on his father who was preparing the sacrifice.

Looking at the sacrifices in the bamboo basket, Xu Chuan asked casually: "Are they still the same this year?"

On the day before New Year's Eve every year, rural areas in southern Hunan will bring sacrifices to the tombs to worship their ancestors. First, they ask the ancestors to protect their children and grandchildren, and second, they invite the ancestors to come home for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival.

Every New Year, a few more pairs of bowls and chopsticks would be placed on the table, and the empty ones would be used by the ancestors.

Some people say it is feudal superstition, while others say it is tradition.

But in Xu Chuan's view, this is more of a spiritual sustenance.

Most Chinese people do not believe in religion, not because they have no faith in their hearts, but because they place more of their trust in their ancestors.

Father Xu smiled and said: "There is wine, meat, fish, tofu and rice. Things have gotten better in recent years. In the past, we only had a little fat meat and rice. After the sacrifice, we had to bring it back to eat."

After a pause, he picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Let's go, I won't wait any longer. That girl Xiaoxiao doesn't know when she will arrive. If you wait any longer, you will lose time."

After worshiping the ancestors, the New Year is actually not far away.

Hurrying slowly, Xu Xiao finally made it back on the day before New Year's Eve.

On the second floor, in the study room, Xu Chuan was flipping through the emails in the mailbox and making comments on how to deal with some matters.

At this moment, the door to the room was violently broken open, and a crisp and familiar voice came into his ears.

"Brother! I'm back!"

Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Xu Chuan's lips. Looking at Xu Xiao, who was wearing a down jacket in front of him and whose aura had changed somewhat, he asked with a smile: "Why did you come back so late this year?"

"Hey, don't mention it, the company is too busy with things."

Xu Xiao sat down on the wooden chair in the study room and began to complain: "I originally thought that doing research and development would be difficult, but I didn't expect that managing a company would be even harder. That annual report made my head spin."

"By the way, brother, don't you have several companies in your hands? How do you manage them?"

His eyes rolled around, Xu Xiao looked at his brother curiously and asked.

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "I rarely do management work."

"Huh? No? Then how do you keep your company going?" Xu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Xu Chuan shrugged and said: "There are other people to help. Most of the things are handled by others. I only need to give some decision-making opinions on a small number of things."

"If you really don't want to do management work, just find a professional manager. This kind of person can help you handle most of the company's operations."

Xu Xiao suddenly nodded, clapped his hands as if opening a new world, and said suddenly: "So you can still do it like this! I understand!"

Xu Chuan smiled and didn't pay much attention.

In fact, this method is more suitable for scientific researchers like them. Professional managers are in charge of the daily and operational work of the company. They are responsible for the direction of research and development, which is more suitable than holding everything in their hands.

Many Internet technicians in the past were very good in technology, but in terms of company management, the company often went bankrupt while working hard.

There are specializations in the profession, and this sentence applies no matter what field you are in.
