Every Cloud has a Silver Lining [Rebirth]

Chapter 36: Reception

Views:

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. Although I only slept for a few hours at night, my mental state was unexpectedly good the next day. Could it be that the quality of sleep for those few hours was too high? Thinking about it this way, I found myself Quite unpromising.

In the morning, I received a call from Wen He. He said that he wanted to meet with me to talk about what happened yesterday, but I refused.

"I went back and thought about it again. This matter is too risky. If I am found out, I will go to jail. At that time, no matter how much money I have, it will be useless."

"What do you mean, you're going to drop the pick at this time?" Wen He on the opposite side panicked, his voice raised significantly.

"I've never done this kind of thing before, so of course I don't know what to do. If something happens to your family, your family will be powerful, and you will definitely push me to top the tank at that time. Then my life will be over. This deal is too bad .”

"Oh, what do you mean, you want five million, and you don't want to take the risk at all. How can there be such a good thing in the world? When is this, why are you giving me such a moth?" Wen He's anger soared, and his voice was very bad.

"Who is not afraid to put this on?"

The breath on the other end of the phone was a little short of breath, obviously out of breath, but Wen He didn't dare to speak too seriously, he eased his breath, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do everything well, even if he doubts you, he will If I can't find evidence, I will transfer the money to you in two days, and you should act faster, there is not much time left."

A sneer curled up at the corner of my mouth, the higher the posture of some people, the more afraid they are of your repentance, commonly known as cheap.

Wen He, you let Wen Yang have a family and can't go back, you forced him to sell his mother's villa, after you stole everything from Wen Yang confidently, you put so much effort into putting him to death, there is no way out. Leave it to him, since you dare to do such a terrible thing, you have to bear the consequences. The five million is just an appetizer. I will definitely pay back everything Wen Yang has suffered in the future, so that you can understand what is real People betrayed relatives.

The price of five million was the result of my deliberation for a long time. It would not only make Wen He heartbroken, but also prevent him from quitting. There are two ways for Wen He to get money, either from his father's company, Either it's his mother's money, but that doesn't matter to me, as long as I get enough money.

When I get the five million, I can buy back the villa that Wen Yang sold.

That was the pain in Wen Yang's heart. In his last life, Wen Yang was exhausted physically and mentally by me, and he was never able to buy the villa back. Now I must help him make up for this regret.

"What are you thinking about? Don't work during working hours?" When distracted, a hot drink takeaway cup with a smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huh?" I looked up and saw that it was Li Hang from the design department, and said with a smile, "Why, Mr. Li, please drink something today?"

"I invite? I invite the girl too. Didn't you decide this yourself? Weiwei at the front desk asked me to bring it here for you."

I was also puzzled: "Are you sure you didn't send it to the wrong person? I never ordered a drink."

"What do you mean? I'm not stupid." Li Hang touched his chin and thought for a while, "Could it be a gift from some girl, Weiwei or Xiaofu?"

I couldn't help but rub my forehead, my heart was so bad!

Sure enough, Fu Xiaoyu had her own radar monitoring system, and immediately turned her head when she heard that: "Who called me?"

"Someone bought a cup of hot drink for Shishan, but he didn't leave his name, and I don't know which girl who has a crush on Shishan gave it to him."

"Hey? Let me see." Fu Xiaoyu approached enthusiastically, "Yo, it's still so happy, this girl is so hardworking."

Li Hang raised his eyebrows: "Huh? With a glass of milk, you can see your intentions?"

"I don't understand. Milk is not the same as returning milk. Can the green milk source in the prairie be the same as the cows fed with feed? His milk is transported by air every day, and it is only supplied to a few designated cities. , and the sales are all fresh milk of the day.”

I didn't know that a glass of milk was so special, so I smiled and said, "No wonder I'm a copywriter. A glass of milk, after you say that, immediately becomes taller."

Fu Xiaoyu said complacently: "This is due to my rich knowledge reserve. I remember that there is an advertisement that seems to be called—the warmest care from my family. A glass of milk may seem inconspicuous, but the girl is very caring."

Li Hang said with a half-smile: "I know so comprehensively, to be honest, is Xiaofu you?"

Fu Xiaoyu said in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you always like to make a pile of me and Shi Shan? I'm not a nymphomaniac. I will jump up when I see a handsome guy."

"Aren't you just a nympho!"

Fu Xiaoyu looked at me angrily: "What are you talking about?"

I hurriedly raised my hand to show my innocence: "I didn't say that." As I spoke, I looked behind her.

Fu Xiaoyu turned around, and when he saw the person, his face became even more angry: "What do you mean, is there anyone who said that?"

Chen Peng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Am I wrong? Who talks about handsome guys all day long, and always gathers with male colleagues when they have nothing to do. Do you regard this as a company?"

Fu Xiaoyu stared at him fiercely, took a deep breath and walked back, expressionlessly said: "There are so many men and women left now, the reason is that the resources can't match, most of the remaining women are excellent, but the men The qualifications are too poor, not enterprising, dirty thinking, communication breakdown, leading to the current vicious circle." The voice was not loud, but it fell into Chen Peng's ears exactly.

Both of them have gone too far, but it's hard to tell which of the two is targeting whom. After all, every time Fu Xiaoyu talks to me, Chen Peng will come out and criticize. In fact, as long as the work is completed, the company has always been very loose about these things. Chen Peng The target was too obvious, and Fu Xiaoyu didn't treat Chen Peng like a leader. The two always bickered, and recently they became more and more violent.

Chen Peng's eyebrows twitched in anger, but he still held back and said to me as if he couldn't hear me: "The company has a reception tonight, and you want to attend it."

"Me?" I was a little surprised, "Why?"

"There are so many reasons, the leader decided, go back to clean up after get off work, dress up at seven o'clock, don't embarrass our operation department."

I still find it unbelievable how a small employee can participate in such a reception for no reason, because the company is too big, let alone communication, the number of meetings I have with the manager is limited. It was the manager who brought his female companion or the backbone of the company to participate. I am not familiar with the manager, so what can I do.

Chen Peng patted me on the shoulder and added: "This is also a company benefit..."

… What's the meaning

I didn't think too much. After Chen Peng left, I turned my head and looked at the milk cup on the table thoughtfully. Facing the cartoon smiley face on it, I took out my mobile phone and sent Wen Yang a text message. There were only two words, Thanks!

Not long after, I received a reply, also two words: You are welcome! I raised the corner of my mouth unconsciously.

I leaned on the table, staring at the increasingly stupid smiling face on the milk glass, and called out a vicious tone: "Whatever you look at, it's you! Just say I like you, who can bear such gentleness! I'm not afraid of me pestering you in the future." Hold on to you."

After I finished speaking, I glanced to the left and right with a guilty conscience. Seeing that no one was looking at me, I breathed a sigh of relief. I was so stupid. I took the cup in my hand and smiled slowly. Everything was fine.

In the evening, I tidied myself up. It was the first time I was spotted by the leader, so I naturally had to behave better. I called Wen Yang to report and went out.

But in the end, I found that I was thinking a little too much.

"You don't know this is a networking reception?" My colleague looked at me in disbelief.

How would I know... Where would I know

Fortunately, before I came here, I made up a lot of my own brain, such as the recent performance is good, and the leadership pays attention to it.

... Sure enough, I thought too much.

Li Hang explained: "Before get off work, the administrative department sent an email, saying that it was a networking reception for single men and women in the company. It was clearly written on it, voluntary registration."

Huh - the truth is I never received any emails at all... Is this a human thing? !

"The employees of the eight companies are all well-known companies in X City. It is said that many high-level executives also participated. The manager of our company's marketing department and the manager of the technical department Dacheng also came. It's hard to say whether they are friends or not. The key It also expands your network.”

"Let's go, let's go in."

Invitation letters are issued by department. Today I waited for Chen Peng for half an hour. He handed the invitation letter to me who was confused, and then left. He deserves to be single for being so shameless.

"Why didn't Xiaofu come?" Someone asked.

I handed the invitation letter to the registration staff at the door with a blank expression, and scolded Chen Peng in my heart. I was not very sure before, but now it seems that it is obvious that he likes Fu Xiaoyu. To get rid of my so-called potential rival in love.

Think about it - how wrong this is.

I thought darkly in my heart, Fu Xiaoyu's dream is to marry a tall, rich and handsome man, and Chen Peng didn't get any of them, so he is doomed to have a difficult love life, so I will burn incense for him in advance.

The reception was commissioned by a large-scale wedding company. The whole venue was beautifully and romantically decorated, with crystal chandeliers, booths decorated with flowers, and exquisite self-service pastries and fruits on long tables.

I took a glass of sake and sat on the sofa to chat with my colleagues. I glanced at the venue. There were more women than men, and I remembered what Fu Xiaoyu said today. Could it be that she made up the idea that women are better than men? But why can't the men around me find girlfriends? They are obviously high-quality young people.

The host invited a well-known star host from the city station. First, he praised all the companies, talents and beauties, and told a few jokes that fit the situation, and the atmosphere was quickly aroused.

According to the introduction, the process probably includes warm-up performances, games, and talent shows. Finally, the dance time and the eight-minute blind date will be held simultaneously. The blind date was very thoughtful.

When we entered the venue, each of us received a number card and filled in our personal information. At that time, we didn't know what it was for, but only now did we know that it was used for games.

The first game is Chuan Apple, a traditional multiplayer game. A colleague in the company was recruited, but he was not from our department, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. Several people got together to chat, and of course the topic could only be women. , Which girl is beautiful and has a hot body? Fu Xiaoyu, the only single woman in our department, was not present, and it was only us, a group of old men, who had no scruples about speaking.

Of course, this is not a good topic for me as a gay, but I will chime in occasionally and try not to make myself seem out of place.

"No. 52, Mr. Shi Bin, please come to the stage."

"Shi Shan, is he calling you?"

"You also know that my name is Shi Shan, not Shi Bin."

"But-"

"No. 52 is Mr. Shi Bin from t.r. Company, please come on stage—"

Damn it, where can I find an illiterate host!
