It is common for Beijing University to hold dance parties, and the student union often holds various sorority parties both on and off campus. Such as masquerade balls, Christmas balls, and some exchange balls or commercial balls held jointly with other universities.
Scholars from all walks of life or celebrities and entrepreneurs at Capital University give many speeches. The student union sometimes invites these people to communicate with students more and takes the opportunity to hold dance parties that are superficially exchanged but are actually of a commercial nature. At such a dance, the students who attend can communicate face-to-face with entrepreneurs and recommend themselves. It is much closer than listening to speeches, and there are naturally many more opportunities. Therefore, not all students in the school can attend such a dance if they want to.
Usually, such dances have high requirements on the achievements and abilities of the students attending, and even if they are not good enough, there are also requirements on grades.
But there are also some dances that are fun for the whole school, such as the Christmas dance.
It's just that this year's Christmas Ball is very different from previous years. In previous years, Christmas Eve was a carnival night for all students of Capital University. There were dances at the five-star hotel on campus, some in the auditorium, and some in the open air. The student union would prepare many venues, and there would be something fresh everywhere. In terms of playfulness, there are no rules as to where students can go to play, and they can come and go as they please.
But this year's Christmas dance, not everyone can enter the hotel - Huaxia Group and the student union have officially signed an internship orientation agreement, and the dance in the hotel is already somewhat commercial in nature.
However, if we look at this dance from a commercial perspective, its requirements for attending students are not as high as previous commercial dances. When the student union promoted it, this dance signed an internship orientation agreement, benefiting all students at Beijing University. Therefore, all graduates and those who are interested can attend. Moreover, there is no limit to the major!
There are no restricted majors, and there were really a lot of students crowding into the hotel that night!
Not to mention those majors that are suitable for internships at Huaxia Group. Even if they are not suitable, not everyone wants to be employed in their majors. Some ambitious students always want to show their skills across majors, even if they do not enter Huaxia Group. Show your face at the dance and say hello to Xia Shao. If you can leave a deep impression, you can develop a personal network in the future.
So, on Christmas Eve, as night fell, the top floor lobby of the university's five-star hotel was bustling with activity.
This five-star hotel at Kyungseong University is often used to hold dance parties. It is very unique in design. There are only a few guest rooms and the large space is used in the banquet hall. Especially the top floor, with its open design, you can see the open-air rooftop as soon as you enter. The ceiling on the top floor is designed in a half-moon shape, with half of it transparent. Looking up, you can see the stars in the night sky and falling snowflakes, which is a beautiful view.
The ball hall is decorated with green leafy plants all around, and has floor-to-ceiling windows with a wide view. Standing by the window, you can see the scenery of half of the Capital University campus, especially tonight is Christmas, snowflakes are flying, and there are students reveling in the open air underneath, tall and colorful Christmas trees, hilarious smiling faces, and full of youth.
However, many students who were partying tonight turned around, raised their heads, and looked towards the top floor of the hotel. There was a grand event there. Although it was a business dance, the entrepreneurs present were different from those in the past. That's their alumni, freshmen. She is the chairman of a well-known business group at a young age. She is obviously a freshman, but the seniors who are about to graduate are trying hard to make friends with her. This is extremely rare in the history of Jingcheng University, but it is true that this person studied at Jingcheng University.
Many students turned to look at the bell tower and saw that the time pointed to eight o'clock in the evening.
A white Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the hotel, and the waiter came to open the door respectfully. The skirt of the girl who got out of the car fell to the ground, and it was as bright as the moonlight. The moonlight slowly came down from the car, adding a touch of grace and elegance to the scenery in the trance.
Xia Shao was wearing a silver evening dress with a fishtail slim fit. The style was simple and not much embellishment, but the skirt was double-layered. The light pink blossoms could be seen deep in the tail of the silver skirt. She stepped up the steps and walked into the hotel. Those who see it can't help but lose their minds. It's like when you first look at it, you think you're seeing the most delicate and graceful crescent moon in the night, but when you take a closer look, you're surprised to find flowers growing in the moon. It's like a casual glimpse of flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, and you are amazed and shocked.
The snow tonight is very suitable for the occasion, adding a lot of atmosphere and coldness to this Christmas Eve. Xia Shao was wearing a long evening dress with a snow-white shawl on her shoulders. Her low-key elegance was somewhat graceful and solemn.
Such an elegant and solemn dress was never seen even in a speech at the opening ceremony. As soon as the waiter led Xia Shao into the dance hall on the top floor of the hotel, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
Those amazing and stunning scenes were just staged in a different place. Xia Shao nodded and smiled, facing calmly.
It wasn't until she nodded that the students in the prom hall reacted, with shocked eyes and gasps. The top leaders of the student union had already arrived. As the chairman of the student union, Zhang Rui was surrounded. When he saw Xia Shao arriving, he smiled and stepped forward to shake her hand. "Director Xia, you came on time."
"Chairman Zhang, you don't mind if I arrive on time, right?" Xia Shao said with a smile, she arrived on time, neither early nor late. Mainly after the contract signing and speech, the rest was all pleasantries. In this case, the advantage of arriving on time is that you can save the pleasantries before the show starts.
Zhang Ruidang even laughed, "Being on time does not mean being late. I also want to practice being as punctual as Director Xia, but unfortunately I fail every time. Can you give me some advice, Mr. Xia, if you have time?"
Zhang Rui's words were a joke, and Xia Shao also heard it. After a chuckle, he glanced at Zhang Rui's side and saw Wang Zihan among them. Xia Shao has a delicate relationship with the Wang family. They shook hands and exchanged greetings, both smiling and looking natural.
Just after greetings, Xia Shao stretched out another hand in front of her. Jiang Zhengwen couldn't hide his surprise and said with a smile: "Dr. Xia is so radiant tonight, haha."
Xia Shao smiled faintly and nodded. She didn't intend to shake hands and exchange greetings with these people, but Jiang Zhengwen stretched out his hand first. Behind him was the Jiang family. Regardless of whether Xia Shao liked it or not, he had to make superficial remarks. Therefore, she still stretched out her hand to shake Jiang Zhengwen's hand.
But when Jiang Zhengwen shook hands, his hand strength was obviously different, as if he squeezed Xia Shao's hand gently.
Xia Shao lowered his eyes, and a dark force spread out without leaving a trace on his hand! She controlled her strength well enough not to make Jiang Zhengwen fall over in front of him, but it still made his palms feel numb!
This unfounded energy was so unreasonable that Jiang Zhengwen's expression changed and he quickly let go. Before she could figure out what was going on, Xia Shao had already smiled and nodded to say hello to other people in the student union.
At this time, I heard a laugh, "You are busy, even on Christmas Eve. There is a dance party in the evening, and they want to have a meal with you, but you are too busy in the company to come out. It makes us miserable tonight It’s not a fun time.”
Xia Shao raised her eyes and saw Yuanze in a white suit walking over with a smile. The nineteen-year-old boy already had the gentle and warm demeanor of a gentleman. As he walked towards him, many female students' eyes were attracted to him.
Although Yuanze is only a freshman, he is a cadre of the student union, so Liu Xianxian, Miao Yan, Zhou Mingxu and Yi Ni cannot attend tonight's dance, but he can come.
"Because of tonight's dance, the company is busy with some things. I apologize for neglecting you. I will be Yuan Shao's dance partner tonight." Xia Shao smiled.
"It's an honor." Yuan Ze replied like a gentleman, but the smile in his eyes was almost full of laughter.
Xia Shao and Yuan Ze were classmates in junior high school and high school, and they were fellow villagers. Together they were admitted to Capital University with top scores in the college entrance examination. Everyone knew that they had a good relationship. If the relationship between Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin wasn't known to the whole school, just by looking at it, they would be both talented and beautiful.
Yuanze came over and lent his arm to Xia Shao. Xia Shao took it with a smile, and the two walked into the dance hall. Xia Shao smiled and lifted the hem of her skirt. The scene shocked everyone again.
But no one knew that when Xia Shao held up the hem of her skirt, a dagger slightly opened a gap under her skirt, and a sinister evil was introduced into Jiang Zhengwen's body. It is said that Jiang Zhengwen had nightmares for a month after that night...
Since Xia Shao arrived at the wrong time, after arriving, she only briefly greeted the senior leaders of the student union, and then the contract ceremony began.
The ball hall on the top floor of the hotel was filled with graduates in their best costumes. The hotel lobby on the first floor cannot accommodate all the senior students from Beijing University, but the lobby is indeed overcrowded.
Student Union President Zhang Rui came to the stage to deliver a speech. As soon as he took the stage, the audience fell silent, "Dear students of Capital University, thank you for participating in tonight's dance. Since the founding of the school, we students of Capital University have been involved in the destiny of the country and the nation. , walking in the forefront of the times. The so-called forefront of the times is not an empty slogan. We have always been brave enough to shout slogans, but we are even more courageous to practice and pioneer. Since the establishment of the Student Union, we have been known as the oldest and most influential student organization. The predecessors have left too much brilliance and left too much praise, but we do not stay here for the glory and praise. We stay here and never forget the original intention of the student union. We put practical matters first, We should put serving our classmates and alumni first. What we have done so far has been praised and even regarded as brilliant. But what I want to say tonight is that glory is not enough, we can go to the next level!"
Zhang Rui is also a master of impromptu speeches. After what he said, there was thunderous applause. Zhang Rui smiled, waited for the applause to stop, and then continued: "Everyone knows the situation of graduate employment in recent years. In order to provide employment guidance for students, we have signed internship priority agreements with many well-known domestic companies in recent years. Contract. Guide you to enter the large group you most want to enter, and pave the way for successful employment. And tonight, we are about to add an even more glorious event - we have invited our school girl, who is also the chairman of Huaxia Group, a domestic The youngest entrepreneur. Director Xia will sign an internship contract with the Capital University Student Union on behalf of Huaxia Group. Starting from this year, Huaxia Group will give priority to accepting students from Beijing University into internships in the company and select the best."
These things have been publicized by the Propaganda Department a long time ago, and all the students present are aware of them. However, in some situations, you still have to say it, and in some situations, you still need to praise it. Therefore, after Zhang Rui said this, there was another burst of applause.
"Now, let's invite Director Xia to come on stage and say a few words." Zhang Rui raised his hand and pressed his hand down. After the applause fell, he made a gentle gesture of invitation and invited Xia Shao to the stage.
As soon as Xia Shao came on stage, there was another burst of applause. Compared with Zhang Rui's speech, the students below were actually looking forward to Xia Shao's speech. After all, she is the chairman of Huaxia Group, and may be the future boss of some of them.
But Xia Shao's speech this time was not long, and could even be called short. She smiled when she came on stage and joked first, "Chairman Zhang's speech was so outstanding. He said everything I wanted to say. I don't know what to say."
Zhang Rui coughed, and the students laughed.
"Just say a few words. Everyone should be grateful. You can appreciate the efforts of the Student Union. If it weren't for their efforts, this contract would not have been achieved. But you really don't need to thank Huaxia Group too much, because for Huaxia Group, it is also necessary You. Huaxia Group is young and needs development, so it needs high-quality talents like you even more. Huaxia Group is looking for talents, and everyone is also looking for a platform to display their capabilities. This is a perfect match. I just want to say that Huaxia Group is hungry for talents. Talents, welcome to Huaxia Group, we will never bury talents, if you have real talents, just come!"
This can be said to be a very equal attitude. Xia Shao made it clear that everyone gets what they need. But if she pays close attention to her words, she can understand the truth.
Many graduates who have signed internship contracts with companies are getting by because there is no employment pressure. Born in a prestigious school, he entered a large company as an intern as soon as he graduated, and then stayed in a job. Such a road paved by contracts with prestigious schools and companies will relieve a lot of pressure on the eve of graduation, but it also brings inertia.
Xia Shao obviously meant what she said - students from Beijing University would be given priority for internships. But if you want to stay, please rely on your true talents and practice! Huaxia Group welcomes talents and guarantees that they will not be buried. But if you want to dawdle, sorry, Huaxia Group is not a charitable organization and does not support idle people.
The atmosphere in the hotel lobby was obviously quiet. Some people really felt the pressure, but some people's eyes were bright and their fighting spirit was obviously aroused.
An enterprise without a competition mechanism cannot retain talents. Even if there are talents, their fighting spirit will gradually be eroded. Xia Shao's words are still very motivating to people who have the ambition to make great achievements. Naturally, some people began to worry in their hearts. Those who originally thought of sneaking in and living their lives had to think carefully this time.
Xia Shao's speech was not long and his attitude was equal, but the deep meaning of his words was to tell the people present that the Huaxia Group still had its threshold.
When she finished her speech, the students below were deep in thought and forgot to applaud for a moment. Xia Shao didn't care about these nonsense. She glanced at the students in the dance hall and lowered her eyes with a deep smile in her eyes.
When Xia Shao told the student union about giving priority to internships, it was not just for the sake of the student union's face. She won't do anything that isn't good for her. Huaxia Group does need talents, and this is just a decision that benefits both parties. In Xia Shao's philosophy, seeking profits is the purpose and duty of doing business, but to seek profits, you must also be more precise in your abacus. Only then can you be a qualified businessman.
It is true that Huaxia Group needs talents, but it must also divide these students into points, absorb those who have fighting spirit, and stop those who have thoughts of dawdling. This was her purpose tonight.
Seeing that the students were still deep in thought, Xia Shao smiled and spoke first, "Chairman Zhang, does the student union have anything to add? If not, we can proceed with the signing of the contract."
Only then did Zhang Rui react. He took a deep look at Xia Shao and came up to the stage.
Xia Shao signed the contract in duplicate on the spot. The moment she picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract smoothly, the atmosphere in the hotel lobby fell silent again.
The students raised their eyes and looked at the girl with her head bowed and a smile on the podium. It seemed that it was not until this moment, when her name was signed into the contract that it came into effect, that people could truly feel her achievements and weight.
It wasn't until the contract was signed that thunderous applause erupted in the hall. At this moment, the eyes of many students looking at Xia Shao have put aside her stunning appearance tonight and gradually turned into admiration.
Xia Shao wished that these students came to chat with her as a self-recommendation to discuss the development of the company, instead of just saying useless words such as praising their temperament and appearance. So after the speech and signing of the contract, due to the change in the atmosphere, Xia Shao had a great time chatting with some students. She enjoyed this atmosphere more than the boastful words of the bosses at some commercial dances.
Young people are always less deceitful and more striving and energetic. These people are all her seniors and sisters, but at this moment when these people have not entered society, their innocence and purity are more touching. people.
Xia Shao chatted with the seniors who came to say hello for more than an hour, and then she had a chance to take a break. Yuanze brought the champagne over and said with a smile: "I know you rarely drink red wine on such occasions, so the champagne I specially picked is light."
Xia Shao took it with a smile, took a sip to moisten her throat, and said with a smile: "I don't drink well, I'm afraid of getting drunk."
The boy Yuanze immediately gave her a look that was very inconsistent with his status. I'm afraid it's not that I don't drink well, but that I don't want to drink, right
This really made Yuanze guess right. Xia Shao really didn't want to drink and didn't like to drink. Especially on this occasion, she not only drank less wine, but also drank less champagne and water. Firstly, he is afraid of getting drunk, and secondly, the mall is deceitful and people's hearts are sinister. Just like when he was in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, there is no guarantee that there is something inside.
Of course, Xia Shao was relieved that Yuan Ze brought it.
However, she couldn't drink too much tonight and there was something else - Mr. Xu asked her to go to Xu's house tomorrow, and her senior brother came to the military exercise and went to the place. The old man asked her to go to Xu's house at this time, but he didn't know what was going on.
However, Xia Shao guessed that it was probably, maybe, maybe, that he wanted to talk about senior brother going to Xia's house to pay New Year's greetings and formally meet his family members. The old man was very passionate about this matter.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes and smiled. Although she felt that it was too early to meet her parents to discuss marriage, her smile still had a touch of warmth.
Yuanze was stunned for a moment when this warmth fell into his eyes, and then his eyes darkened. However, several more students walked over from the front.
Xia Shao raised her eyes and smiled at a few people. The students came over with excitement on their faces. Just as they were about to introduce themselves, there was a burst of excitement behind them!
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw several students at the entrance of the hall looking at each other and the three people walking towards them.
No one knew these three men, but everyone knew their uniforms—police!
The three policemen looked serious. After entering the hall, they asked loudly: "Which one is Xia Shao?"
The hall fell silent for a moment, and the students all turned their heads and looked towards the center of the hall. The three policemen also followed the students' gazes and saw Xia Shao.
Anyone with a little bit of judgment will know that this is the person they are looking for.
Three people stepped forward, and one of them took out a document in his hand and said seriously: "Xia Shao, right? Regarding the case of Huaxia Auction Capital Company's discovery of fake gold-wrapped knives at a charity auction, someone accused you of arranging it. Now , please come with us to the bureau!"
