Chapter 235: Year-end dinner
is often idle, but Zhou Wei was busy during that time.
At the end of the year, two foreign real estate began to be sold, and the commercial and residential part of the first phase of the Luyang Lake project has also been completed, and the investment promotion work has been completed before New Year's Day, and it needs to be opened before the end of the year.
But Mrs. Deng Shunlin's illness is getting worse and worse, and her mind is not on work for the time being, and some things can only be handled by herself.
A week before the Spring Festival, Zhou Wei has to go on a business trip, and the morning flight will send Chang'an on the way to the airport.
Xiao Zhao drove, and Zhou Wei and Chang An sat in the back seat.
That night also happened to be the year-end dinner in Chang'an's office.
Zhou Wei advised: "Don't drink at night, don't play too late, call Xiao Zhao before the end and ask him to pick you up." β
Chang An smiled, "I'll just take a taxi, and I don't always have to trouble Xiao Zhao." β
Zhou Wei was not at ease, "It's inconvenient to take a taxi at the end of the year, so let Xiao Zhao take a trip." β
Chang An was embarrassed, "I really don't need to, you didn't pay him double salary." β
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he hurriedly said: "How troublesome can it be to pick you up, when the time comes, you call me, and I will go over in advance." β
The car quickly arrived at the intersection and stopped on the side of the road as usual.
Zhou Yan said a few words like an old parent, and Chang An took his bag and got out of the car.
"Let's go!" As a result, he went to pull the car door with one hand and was pinched by Zhou Wei with the other, "Well, is there anything else?"
She turned back.
Zhou Wei's fingers gently rubbed her phalanges.
"Don't drink at night, remember?"
Chang An sneered: "Remember, you've nagged three times all the way!"
Xiao Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud in front.
Zhou Wei glanced at him with a calm face, and Xiao Zhao immediately silenced.
Zhou Tao turned to look at Chang An again, "It's useless to just remember, you have to do it, I'll let Xiao Zhao supervise you when I turn around!"
Xiao Zhao swallowed silently.
Chang An was angry and wanted to laugh, "You treat me like a child, old man?"
"Chang'an!"
She seems to be getting more and more presumptuous recently, and gradually revealing the little fox minions before and after, but Zhou Wei is stern in her mouth, and she is still very happy in her heart, because she feels that this is her nature, and she is willing to show her true nature in front of herself, indicating that the distance between them is getting closer and closer.
He hoped that Chang An would no longer defend him and no longer wrap a layer of things around him.
"Alright, let's go to work. Zhou Wei let go, but the car kept waiting at the intersection, and when Chang An's back was completely invisible at the end of the alley, he raised his hand and scratched his forehead.
"Xiao Zhao, remember to pick her up at night!"
Xiao Zhao nodded: "Understood, Mr. Zhou, don't worry." β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the venue was set at a Sichuan restaurant near the company.
There are not many people, and many of the engineering team are outsourced or temporary workers, who will not come to eat, so only the employees of the company's office are left, some of whom have asked for leave in advance to return to their hometowns for the New Year.
The people who do the project are more bold and down-to-earth, and the atmosphere of eating and drinking is quite good.
It's just that after three glasses of wine, some people began to talk about meat jokes, among which Zhang Jianhu was the most faceless and skinless, although Chang An had been in the company for a few months, but this style was still a little uncomfortable, so he got up and found an excuse to go out.
The Sichuan restaurant is decorated in the middle of the range, and the place is quite large, especially the box area on the second floor is full of winding corridors.
Chang An followed the sign on the wall, and went around but couldn't find the bathroom.
ββ¦ I'm having dinner with my colleagues tonight...... Do you really think so?...... Hate, why are you so unashamed...... Got it, then you open the room and send the room number to my phone... No, don't come to pick me up, what if my colleagues see me...... Okay, okay, I'll try to... Well... Hate..."
The sound of staccato speech came from the other side of the pillar.
Chang An couldn't see the caller, but felt that the deliberately lowered female voice felt a little familiar in the empty corner, but she didn't care about it, after all, the content of this chat was obviously an ambiguity between lovers.
Chang An was about to leave, but when he turned around, he accidentally kicked an aluminum trash can placed against the wall.
"Bang".
"Who!" suddenly appeared from behind the pillar.
Chang An looked up in embarrassment, but his face froze.
"Yang Jing?"
Yang Jing's face was panicked at first, but when she saw the person who was coming, she obviously exhaled.
"Sister Chang, it's you, it's scared to death!" she patted her chest.
"Baby, who are you talking to?" a male voice came from the phone.
Yang Jing picked up her phone again, "My colleague, let's do this first, and I'll tell you later." She hung up the phone and walked in front of Chang An.
Chang An's face has returned to calm, and his heart is clear.
"It's not Yao Kai, is it?" she asked lightly.
"Yes, no, it's my new man!" Yang Jing didn't lie, she was very honest.
Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that it had only been more than a week since she broke up with Yao Kai, and she would have a new boyfriend? But now the relationship between young men and women seems to have always come and gone, this is someone else's private matter, and Chang An has no time to ask.
Yang Jing climbed on her shoulder, "By the way, why don't you eat in the box, what are you doing here alone?"
Chang An came back to his senses: "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't find a place." β
Yang Jing: "Then I'll accompany you." β
Chang An twitched his hand, "No need, it should be around here, you go to the box first." β
She staggered Yang Jing and left, went to the bathroom to get cold water and rinsed her face, just as Zhou Wei called.
"Still eating?"
"Well, it's not over. β
"But why do I hear so quiet over there?"
Chang settled, "I'm in the bathroom." β
"Alone?"
"Otherwise?" Chang An thought his question was a little funny, but he didn't think much about it, and asked, "What about you, what are you doing?"
"Just finished a conference call in my room, now go downstairs for a bite to eat. β
"Also alone?"
This time Zhou Wei laughed, "No, two!"
"Huh?"
"And Xu Nan!"
ββ¦β¦β
Chang An felt that he was really getting more and more naΓ―ve, "Then you can eat, I will also go back to the box." β
"Hmm. After a second, he spoke up again, "Send me the address, and I'll ask Xiao Zhao to pick you up." β
"No need. β
"Obedient, that's all!"
He hung up the phone first, Chang An had no choice but to send a location to Zhou Wei.
A few minutes later, Chang An returned to the box by the same way, fortunately this time it was smooth, and he lost himself again in the middle of the road, but before he arrived at the door, he heard the noise coming from his own box, men and women, talking and laughing and whistling, the movement was so loud that it could almost fill the entire corridor.
Chang An went in and saw a table of people standing there separately, one on the left and one on the right, all of them roaring with their necks up.
Left stall: "Brother Tiger, come on!"
Right stall: "Brother Dong is good!"
Yang Jing: "Brother Dong will win!"
Chang An: "......"
"Sister Chang, you came just in time, hurry up, Brother Tiger and Brother Dong are wrestling their wrists, which side do you press to win?" Yang Jing found her coming in and immediately ran over to ask.
Chang An saw that there were still two rows of poured liquor on the table.
These guys are betting on winning or losing with a wrench?
Do you dare to be more naΓ―ve?
"I'm not going to bet on it, just see. β
"What's the matter, everyone is betting, hurry up, why don't I help you choose?" Yang Jing was full of playfulness, and didn't look at Chang An's face, took an empty wine glass to fill it for her, and directly dragged her into the crowd.
"Come on, come on, Sister Chang is back, come and bet one, bet on Brother Dong to win!" Yang Jing shouted to separate the people blocking in front of her, and put Chang An's wine glass to the stall in Chen Haodong's hand.
Chen Haodong's gaze swept over, and his eyes collided with Chang An in the chaos, and he was distracted for that second, and he "bang"!
"Haha, brother, you lost!"
Chen Haodong's wrist was directly pressed on the table by Zhang Jianhu.
Left stall: "Huh..."
Right stall: "Ah!"
Yang Jing: "How is it possible, Brother Dong, you are about to win just now!"
Chang An: "......"
The ghost fox wolf howled and rejoiced at the same time, and the noise in the box was almost earth-shattering.
Chang An was squeezed in the middle, his body just rubbed Chen Haodong's arm, he probably felt that the box was hot, his coat was taken off, he was only wearing a shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up, so Chang An was rubbing against his flesh, or hard muscles, hot and hard.
Chang An was about to withdraw out, but as soon as his footsteps moved, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"No, you have to drink it, don't you?"
It was Gu Wen who grabbed her, and it was Gu Wen who coaxed her, and others naturally echoed after hearing it, "Yes, yes, punish wine, one glass per person, Brother Dong will be fined twice." β
That's probably the rule of the game they just set.
Yang Jing is also fierce, "Drink it, who is afraid of whom!" She directly picked up a cup and drank it all, and several colleagues behind her also finished drinking, anyway, it was just a game, and it was fun.
"Brother Dong, it's your turn!"
"That's right, Mr. Chen, come, two glasses!"
Gu Wen slipped away for him.
Chen Haodong was not ambiguous, he quickly drank a few large sips, and wiped his mouth with his hand after drinking.
In the end, there was only one cup left on the table, and it was a 52-degree liquor in the same cup that I usually drink beer.
Chang An usually doesn't drink liquor, and she eats Sichuan food at night, which is all spicy and heavy-mouthed, and she can't get used to it, so she basically didn't eat anything at the table just now.
If this cup was drunk on an empty stomach, Chang An felt that his stomach would have to burn out.
"I have a little cold today, can I not drink it?"
"No, you bet on Mr. Chen to win, and if you lose, you have to admit punishment, if you don't drink it, others won't agree, right?" Gu Wen just grabbed Chang An, and her words sounded like coaxing, but Chang An's eyes were full of provocation.
Chang An was really helpless, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Jing, Yang Jing hid back, and shamelessly hid behind Chen Haodong.
"Sister Hehe, you can't blame me, if you want to complain, blame Brother Dong, who let him lose so hard this time!"
Chang An endured his breath, okay, it seems that if you don't drink it today, this matter will definitely not be over.
She was forced to pick up the glass, and was about to bring it to her lips, when suddenly her hand loosened, and the glass was taken away.
Chen Haodong drank it all for her in a few sips.
