Chapter 179 ["The Last Supper" (Part II)]
The two chatted a few words about the company, and then fell silent again.
When waiting for a red light at an intersection, Mo Fan glanced sideways at Lin Ruoxi, and saw that her face was sinking like water, looking out of the window as if she was a little distracted, and she didn't know what important questions she was thinking.
"How is Auntie's health lately?" Mo Fan turned on the chatting mode, hoping to break this atmosphere that made him feel uncomfortable.
If you change to another woman and ask about your mother's situation, you can't help but have to babble a few words, not to mention that Mo Fan can be regarded as Lin's mother's physiotherapist. Lin Ruoxi only said: "It's okay." "It's more precious than talking about things at work.
The word "okay" can be understood as the same as in the past, it can also be understood as a improvement, and it can even mean that it is not very good, in fact, it is the same as not saying it. And this topic doesn't seem to be going on.
Mo Fan couldn't help pursing his lips, she was really a boring woman who couldn't chat.
If you let people who don't know see this scene, I'm afraid they will think that Lin Ruoxi is indifferent to her mother. Of course, this is not the case, probably Lin Ruoxi thinks that Mo Fan is asking nonsense, what is the situation of his mother, he will know when he goes to see it tomorrow, what is the point of talking about this now?
There was silence in the car again. Fortunately, after turning this major intersection, the speed of driving finally increased, and it took a short time to reach the place.
The hotel was decided by Shen Tai'an and those supervisors, and Mo Fan didn't express any opinions. Although he is now considered to be a thin and wealthy person, he is only a recent development, and he usually does not have many banquet activities, so he really has no say in the places to eat and drink.
After parking in the parking lot outside the hotel, the two walked towards the door. Lin Ruoxi walked on Mo Fan's right, and with a copy of his left hand, he put it on the inside of Mo Fan's right arm. Mo Fan subconsciously raised his forearm and asked Lin Ruoxi to hold his arm.
This action has nothing to do with intimacy, it is just a kind of etiquette of peers, at most, it can show Lin Ruoxi's recognition of Mo Fan to a certain extent.
Mo Fan knew this, but he still couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment. He wanted to tell Lin Ruoxi that it didn't have to be like this, but he felt that it was the opposite, so he didn't say anything. Then I thought that I had this kind of thought, and I was already in phase. Well, these imported so-called etiquette, such as shaking hands and hugging or something, inevitably require physical contact, and they are all some of the habits that are missed. It's a pity that the traditional etiquette of my Great China is almost invisible in today's social occasions, which is really a pity.
He was so cranky and thoughtless, and walked into the hotel lobby with Lin Ruoxi.
A young man greeted the two. This person's name is Jiang Haitao, who is about the same age as Mo Fan, and is a salesman in Group 4. Jiang Haitao is usually very active in the company, but at this time he seemed a little restrained, called "Mr. Lin", greeted Mo Fan again, and then walked in front to lead the way.
Entering a large private room on the second floor, Jiang Haitao raised his voice and said, "Mr. Lin is here!"
In fact, there was no need for him to be so loud, although the people in the private room were chatting with each other, most of them were focused on the door, and they all stood up and saluted the door. The person everyone is waiting for is not only the boss, but also the beauty, so she naturally deserves this treatment.
Shen Tai'an walked quickly to the door. If you talk about it, he can be regarded as the party that represents the treat, Lin Ruoxi is a distinguished guest, and welcoming guests to the door is the minimum etiquette. But in the eyes of some people, they felt that Mr. Shen's posture was too dog-legged, and he rushed to pat the leader's ass. You see Director Chen and Director Jiang, although they also went to the door, where would they be as eager as Mr. Shen.
When Lin Ruoxi walked in with Mo Fan in his arms, many people's eyes widened. But a discerning person can see that this is completely different from the kind of arms held by couples, the two have no physical contact, and they keep a little distance from each other, but they also seem very close. This seems to confirm the rumors in the company, even if Mo Fan and Mr. Lin are not related, at least they are involved.
In the past, Mo Fan had no sense of presence in the sales department, but there was nothing else outstanding. At this time, everyone found out that the young man was still a little handsome, and he could even be worthy of an extraordinary temperament. Because he stood next to Mr. Lin, he would not give people a sense of disobedience, otherwise the flowers with cow dung would not exhaust everyone's appetite. It's just that why didn't you find out before?
But everyone didn't know that the person was still the same person, but the spirit and spirit were completely different.
"Welcome Mr. Lin to our sales department. Shen Tai'an smiled and applauded, and everyone applauded.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes swept around the private room, nodding to everyone, his eyes did not stop, but everyone felt that they were being noticed. Then he said with a false pressure on his right hand: "Everyone is casual, no need to be formal." ”
Shen Tai'an said: "Mr. Lin, please take a seat." He stretched out his right arm and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Ruoxi bowed her head lightly and took off her windbreaker outside, inside was a long-sleeved white dress, which had both Eastern and Western characteristics, the style was very simple, but she had a graceful bearing when she wore it. The people in the sales department usually don't have many opportunities to meet Lin Ruoxi, and they only have her in their minds wearing OL clothes, and they have already been shocked, and at this time, they suddenly found that it seems that this kind of outfit is more in line with Mr. Lin's temperament.
Even the waiter standing next to him looked a little sluggish, took Lin Ruoxi's windbreaker, stood for a while before reacting, and hurriedly took it to the wardrobe and hung it carefully. When I looked back, I saw that Mr. Lin had already sat down at the main table.
There are nearly 60 salesmen in the sales department, and there are seven tables in the private room, basically about ten people per table, only this main table seems a little empty, only Lin Ruoxi, Shen Tai'an and four supervisors. Shen Tai'an originally asked a few business backbones to sit here, and it was more lively if there were many people, and by the way, he would help him brag about it, so that Lin Ruoxi would know that he had no credit and hard work over the years, but unfortunately no one wanted to come over. Everyone knows that a woman like Mr. Lin can just look at it from a distance, and it is not necessary to sit at a table to eat, and she is not comfortable with herself.
This form of feast is preceded by a speech by a person of the highest status, as a rule. Lin Ruoxi did not shirk, picked up the wine glass in front of him, got up and said: "I believe that no matter what position you are in, there will always be a reward for your efforts." I wish you all the best in your work!" After speaking, he raised his wine glass and took a sip of it to his lips.
Mo Fan applauded very cooperatively. Many people reacted at this time, and the speech of the boss was over, so they all clapped their hands and then raised their glasses to drink. Mo Fan took a sip of the cup, found that it was dry red, and remembered that he was still driving, so he put it down again and asked the waiter to replace it with a drink.
Shen Tai'an originally wanted to give a speech, this is a dinner of the sales department, and as a sales director, he is also right. However, seeing that Lin Ruoxi was so concise, he dispelled his original thoughts, stood up and said, "Then let's eat and drink well, and don't have to be polite to ourselves." ”
Everyone let out a laugh, feeling that Mr. Shen was very level this time.
There are a lot of female employees in the sales department, accounting for almost half of them, and most of the sales people are more active, they can drink some wine, and they can afford to joke.
Mo Fan looked at the elated crowd, and somehow, he remembered the casual meal when he graduated from college, but many people here probably didn't know that they were about to graduate.
And their table seemed a little silent. It's not just because the boss is around, if anyone in this private room can understand the meaning of Lin Ruoxi's words, they must include everyone at this table, and they can't help but think about it.
Shen Tai'an saw that the scene was a little cold, especially compared with other tables, it was a little out of place, so he raised his glass and proposed: "Come, let's have a cup of Mr. Lin." ”
Lin Ruoxi said: "I still respect everyone." He raised his glass and said, "What everyone thinks, Mo Fan told me." Whatever your plans, I will do my best to support them. ”
When Chen Jianjun and the others heard this, they finally relaxed their hearts, and they raised their glasses to thank them, and their eyes looked at Mo Fan with more gratitude.
Mo Fan thought to himself, I'm a messenger at most, doesn't this make me lose my favor.
Then everyone started chatting. Although Lin Ruoxi didn't talk much, he didn't stop talking, from Shen Tai'an to the supervisors, all of them were masters of enlivening the atmosphere, and there would be no cold scene.
During the banquet, someone came to toast, and then everyone realized that although Lin Ruoxi rarely came to the sales department, he seemed to know everyone.
Mo Fan knew that Lin Ruoxi could remember the owner of the company. This ability is quite useful for those on top. An ordinary employee of a company is sometimes greatly inspired by the spirit just because he finds that the boss remembers him, and often stimulates the enthusiasm of the employee more than material rewards. Don't you see those who have toasted Lin Ruoxi, and their steps are a little fluttery when they walk back.
Several supervisors went to the salesmen of the group to toast the circle, and Mo Fan also turned around as usual. He had juice in his hand, but no one forced him to drink.
When talking to the people in this group, Mo Fan noticed that there was a dodgy gaze at the table, and at a glance he saw that it was Sun Xiaopeng from the fifth group. This guy was beaten by Mo Fan once because he was not clean in his mouth, and he has been avoiding Mo Fan since then, thinking that he is afraid of looking for his bad luck, but in fact, as long as he doesn't provoke him, how can Mo Fan have the time to compete with him.
After coming back, Mo Fan felt that it was almost over, so he asked Lin Ruoxi: "Do you want to leave?"
"Let's go. Lin Ruoxi nodded.
In fact, this dish has not been served yet, but the boss is here to pestle, how can everyone have fun, and the boss himself may not find it interesting.
Shen Tai'an and the others understood this truth, so they naturally didn't keep it, and sent Lin Ruoxi to the door of the private room, Mo Fan said: "Let's continue to drink, I'll just send Mr. Lin." He took Lin Ruoxi's windbreaker from the waiter and draped it on her.
Seeing Mo Fan and Lin Ruoxi go down the stairs, several people had different thoughts in their hearts.
