"The temperature has plummeted, but it can't lower the temperature in my heart."
Cheng Yan didn't hear the rumors at all, or even didn't know. But what he can be sure of is that Huo Sheng definitely didn't mean that Fatty was passed the information to another company before.
Just, what would that be? He didn't know either, he just learned to keep it in his heart and finished the meal first.
"It's you, what's the matter today? I feel like you're not in a good state. Did you sleep well?" Huo Sheng asked him.
Cheng Yan nodded slightly, but didn't dare to explain truthfully, just said, "The neighbors upstairs were a little noisy yesterday and couldn't sleep well."
After hearing this, Huo Sheng smiled and did not comment, "Then you should rest early today. Now that the case is completed, it is estimated that you can rest until the beginning of the year."
Speaking of time, Cheng Yan suddenly thought of the email sent by the administrator, and quickly asked, "Will you attend that year's meeting?"
"Annual meeting? Of course it will." Huo Sheng ate something casually and put down his chopsticks, "Aren't you going?"
"I went, but I haven't replied yet." Cheng Yan replied.
In the afternoon, Cheng Yan kept thinking about the rumors in his mind. After thinking about it too much, he couldn't help but ask Miao Yu if he knew anything.
Miao Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Then I'll ask the people in the group." Then he changed the subject and hurriedly asked him, "Do you know how the above deal with you?"
"What?" Cheng Yan didn't understand for a while. After all, although he was on the spot, he was not there when he finally dealt with it.
He quietly glanced at the empty seat opposite, thought for a while and asked, "What's the result?"
As a result, Miao Yu also said with a strange look: "Aren't you inside? I heard that Brother Sheng finally said that the surveillance records were adjusted, and this matter was settled. Is this true?"
Cheng Yan shook his head, indicating that he came out ahead of time, not very clear.
Miao Yu added: "I also heard, and I also heard that Brother Wang was not punished this time. It seems that because there was no error in the final report, so he gave a verbal warning and let it go."
"However, there is another version." Miao Yu said, "I said that I didn't look for surveillance or anything, just... Do you remember what we heard at the door that day? It seems that Minister Huo also talked to other people, only Fatty. A person pointed the finger at you, there is no silver 300 taels here."
"That's it." Cheng Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he couldn't remember the events of those days, he just felt that he was busy all the time, and he didn't even have time to think about these issues.
As for when Fatty did his hands and feet, did he do it, and why did he do it, Cheng Yan really had no clue.
He sighed and sat silently in his seat, thinking that it would be a better outcome if this matter ended. Seeing his helpless expression, Miao Yu guessed that people really didn't know the situation and couldn't find any news, so she slipped back to her seat with nothing to do.
Cheng Yan finally calmed down, opened the administrative statistics email again, and typed a few words to go back.
At night, Huo Sheng's whole body returned to his previous state, as if that moment yesterday was just an illusion in Cheng Yan's mind.
On the way home, Cheng Yan chatted with him about trivial matters in life as usual, and listened to the city radio in the car, which mentioned the impending drop in temperature.
Cheng Yan thought that the New Year's Day was not far away, so he thought of buying a dress or a toy for Huo Xiaoman as a gift.
So when Huo Sheng mentioned that Huo Xiaoman was still talking about him for the past two days, he suggested, "Why don't we wait for the next anniversary party and let Xiaoman come to the house to play for two days on the weekend."
"Okay," Huo Sheng replied without thinking, holding the steering wheel in his hand, "as long as you're not afraid of her making trouble with you again."
Cheng Yan didn't think much, and replied with a smile, "I'm not afraid."
This Huo Xiaoman's answer in a pattern made Huo Sheng laugh out loud.
The radio said the sudden drop in temperature would come in a week, just before the annual meeting.
After several days of continuous rain, the company turned on the heating fully in advance, so that Cheng Yan sat in the office wearing an opinion sweater, and he couldn't show how cold it was.
At noon, the group of four who used to get together often became a fixed three without Fatty.
Fortunately, although the number of people has decreased, the warmth brought by the crowd in winter does not seem to make people feel much deserted than in summer.
"Hey! Speaking of this weekend is the annual meeting, why don't you seem to be looking forward to it?" Miao Yu bit her chopsticks, sat at the dining table and asked Cheng Yan, and continued: "Still say Sure enough, I am too young, and I still expect to win the grand prize at the annual meeting and get half a month's salary or something?"
This just happened to be heard by a passing colleague, who laughed at her when she took it over: "Miao Miao, last year's consolation prize wasn't enough to satisfy you?"
When Miao Yu heard it, she slapped the other party with disgust, "You hurry up, don't make trouble, I'm talking to our group about this, people must have some dreams."
Cheng Yan was also amused by this dream, shook his head slightly, took a few mouthfuls of rice and did not reply.
On the contrary, Liang Chen took over with a smile, and in one sentence confided the thoughts of the people beside him.
She said, "Don't look at Ayan's expressionless face all day, how excited he is." As she said that, she raised her eyebrows and gestured to the side.
This is true, Cheng Yan listened, raised the corner of his mouth and silently took the loin of chopsticks, and then looked at the drizzle outside the window and thought.
In previous years, because he and Huo Sheng were not in the same group, they were not so familiar with each other. Although there have been many people who have been looking for Huo Sheng for a group photo, he has never been able to summon the courage to ask for a group photo because of his cowardice. But this year, I don't know if the god of luck has finally favored this side or what, people were accidentally divided into a group, and their private relationship has become much better. This thought that has been pressing in my heart for many years, even if there is finally a chance to realize it.
Therefore, although Cheng Yan failed to write this excitement on his face, he did not hide it in his clothes at all.
Usually gray and black, but today he was wearing a light blue sweater, quietly looking out the window, as if he was shy because of Liang Chen's words.
Miao Yu stared at it for a while, blinked, and suggested, "Cheng Yan, when you are at the annual meeting, wear this bright color. You look good in bright colors."
"No, no." Cheng Yan heard the words like a little boy whose mind was pierced, and quickly refused a few words.
It's just that he refused, but he didn't say anything, Liang Chen responded quickly, and quickly said with a smile: "I think it's really possible, it's rare to catch up with the annual meeting this time and it's almost Christmas, if you don't like this A light-colored one, and a bright red one is also good.”
Cheng Yan listened to this kind of mother's suggestion, and couldn't say anything for a while, but he disagreed with his mouth, and thought about it a little in his heart.
In the past years, the snow fell early in Rongcheng, and this year it was even more time for the annual meeting.
When Cheng Yan accompanied Cheng's mother to a shopping mall near her home a few days ago, she saw that the children's clothing store was open and full of people, so she squeezed in and bought a pink winter three-piece suit for Huo Xiaoman.
Before leaving, he asked the store owner to pack it up and put it all together. Cheng's mother laughed at him when she saw it. It was a gift for the child of the leader, or she didn't tell her if there was any good news.
The embarrassed Cheng Yan said that it was for the leader of the child, so he perfunctory and did not dare to say more.
On the day of the annual meeting, Miao Yu excitedly ran back and forth like a child in each group to give candy to people, and when she sent it to Cheng Yan, she shouted in surprise, "Cheng Yan, you are really wearing it. Come on, big red."
"It looks good." She walked around Cheng Yan, like a child, for several times, repeating these four words even handing out the candy in her hand.
Cheng Yan, who didn't feel anything strange at first, made her blushed and wanted to leave quickly and find a corner to hide.
It's a pity that the meeting place for the annual meeting is in a five-star hotel not far from the company, where everyone gathers. He thought about it for a while, but in the end, he was not able to leave the team. He just carefully covered his red ears with his hands, stood quietly, and motioned Miao Yu to stop talking with his eyes.
As a result, just as Miao Yu stopped, Liang Chen also arrived. Cheng Yan was more familiar with Liang Chen than others, and seeing that she was about to open her mouth to boast, she hurriedly pulled the person aside.
"Don't say it anymore." He couldn't help but say.
Liang Chen, who was very clear in his heart, laughed outright when he saw this, and didn't stop laughing all the way to the hotel.
The fine snow falling in the sky makes the whole space appear bright and transparent. Cheng Yan chatted with Liang Chen in a low voice, and secretly searched for where Huo Sheng was.
As a result, he didn't look at him on the way. When he was about to get to the hotel, he saw Huo Sheng standing at the entrance of the hall from a distance, talking to someone.
The person who was talking to him was not too young, and he left with another person after saying a few words.
Cheng Yan happened to be at the door at this time, so he pretended that he was going to see what was written at the door, and asked Liang Chen to go up in advance.
Although Liang Chen didn't understand what he was thinking, he didn't object if it was a trivial matter.
Cheng Yan, who took the initiative to stay, raised his collar slightly after the others left, and looked at the welcome sign at the door of the hotel with great interest in today's annual meeting.
He was just looking at it casually, but he didn't want to be attracted by another technology company named 'Mu Liu' that was written on the card. He always felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.
Just before he could understand, the person he was expecting came over.
He heard a voice from behind, with a temperature he liked.
The man asked him, "You look good in this outfit, but it's cold outside, so hurry up and go up?"
And Cheng Yan, who seemed to have waited for a long time, was finally about to get the candy. He raised his hand contentedly and pulled the collar up a little bit, and waited until the echoes that seemed to be hidden in the snow disappeared. He whispered back: "Okay."
