In Guangdong, the real New Year glow-up happens on the first day back to work. It's called “Hoi Gong” — the official restart button for business. 

And yes… there's money involved. Bosses hand out red envelopes — “Lai See” — to employees. 

Not as a bonus, but as a lucky kick-off. 

It's all about good vibes, prosperity, and starting the year strong. It's not about how much is inside. It's about launching the year with fortune on your side. 

New year. New goals. Red envelope energy.
