Chapter Twenty-Six: Fate

Fan Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she got up and looked downstairs through the window, and found that the car in Dusk had long disappeared without a trace. She thought that she had forgotten about her after not seeing Twilight for so long, although Xiaoxiao would still pay the rent of the house to Twilight's card on time every month, although Xiaoxiao also thought that Twilight didn't seem to need or care about the rent that was a penny for him, but when he sat in the same car with the cutting-edge male star who was about to appear on the big screen, that feeling of flattering did give him an adrenaline rush of pleasure.

"Let's have a secret relationship. Twilight said as she kissed her hair.

Twilight kissed her hair, which tickled her scalp, and she tried to break free, but Twilight's clenched waist and left arm were too tight to move.

"Can you loosen up first, I'm a little out of breath. Xiaoxiao coughed a few times, and Twilight gradually let go of her arms.

"Xiaoxiao, be my girlfriend, I'll do everything I can......"

Xiaoxiao immediately blocked Twilight's mouth with her hand, she raised her head and looked at Twilight's moon-like pupils, "Twilight, are you drunk tonight?" she immediately put her hand down, "Twilight, I believe that sentence just now was your impulsive words......"

"No, I'm not, I'm real......"

"Twilight, you are going to become an artist star in the future, and I am just an ordinary white-collar worker, do you feel that our feelings are equal. When she said this, Xiaoxiao almost laughed, calling herself a white-collar worker was really a bit of a self-elevation, "So, I think, let's both calm down, give each other a little time to think, and don't be blindly impulsive." Xiaoxiao used almost all the lines she could remember in her daily soap operas.

Twilight let go of his arms and bit his lip, the moon in his eyes fading and finally turning into stars.

"Well, as a sign of respect, I'll give you time to think. Twilight put her hands in her pockets, "But before I go, I have to tell you about Luo Yutong." ”

Unlike when we first met on the road, Twilight now seems to be more than just the passionate best-selling author, his hairstyle has changed, his clothes have changed, his mannerisms have changed, his eyes have become more complex, and his mind has become more sensitive.

According to Twilight, Luo Yutong is a very scheming woman, but the last time I had dinner with her, Xiaoxiao only felt that this was a well-educated and knowledgeable lady.

"Ah, what a mess the world is!" Fan Xiaoxiao fell on the bed and rolled around grabbing her hair, she felt that since she heard those words of Twilight tonight, her three views were about to be subverted.

Xiaoxiao took out a coin, "If it's heads, I'll agree to Twilight's request, and if it's tails, I'll refuse." As a result, he threw it three times in a row, all of which were negative, "Oh my God, Fan Xiaoxiao, you saw it, God doesn't agree." Fan Xiaoxiao rolled on the bed. She really felt that she had been kicked in the head by a donkey, if only the ordinary girl had agreed to Twilight's request last night and took the initiative to kiss her, but she actually asked if she was drunk.

The brain is a good thing, Xiaoxiao feels that she should not have it.

"Whatever, now that the company has encountered such a big thing, how can he have time to fall in love. Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and covered the quilt, "Xiaoxiao, you have to be an outstanding woman in the new era, you must learn to be independent, self-reliant, and work hard......" Xiaoxiao was exhausted, stared at the ceiling and turned off the light to sleep.

The next day, Xiaoxiao whistled into the office of the planning department, and she found that the other colleagues were also listless, sitting there in despair, and the whole office area was lifeless. When she passed by Lin Nan's office, she found that Lin Nan was not only gone, but even her special laptop with a pink Hellokitty sticker had disappeared, but Xiaoxiao remembered that since she knew Lin Nan, that notebook had been on Lin Nan's desk. She had no choice but to ask an old employee next to Lin Nan: "Old Yang, didn't Lin Nan come today?" ”

"What's coming, our company has been acquired by Rise Group, if the acquisition is successful, our company will be laid off!"

"She should have known her fate a long time ago. Su Mengxia said while standing behind Xiaoxiao at some point. Xiaoxiao turned around, expecting to see a gloating face, but when Xiaoxiao looked at Mengxia's pupils seriously, she unearthed a sense of sympathy and compassion in it.

"The company is about to change owners, and I don't know who will stay in the end. Mengxia hugged her elbows and frowned at Lin Nan's desk, Xiaoxiao had never seen Mengxia like this, she was always so arrogant and domineering in the past, she had never looked at others, but today she is as listless as a defeated fighting, and even her makeup is not as delicate as before.

"You shouldn't have to worry, Mengxia, after all, Director Liu will cover you, as long as he can stay, then you are about the same. Xiaoxiao actually wanted to say that Meng Xia was moaning without illness, but looking at Meng Xia's lonely appearance today, she couldn't bear to say it. "Actually, let's be each other. After dropping these words, Meng Xia smiled mysteriously and turned away.

"Now all employees are invited to the 202 conference room to gather, there is an emergency meeting ......," the director of the company's personnel department walked to the entrance of the planning department and shouted loudly, so the entire planning department employees began to pour out, Xiaoxiao did not let go and followed the colleagues out. Although so many people walked out at the same time, no one spoke, and the corridor was quiet only to hear the sound of leather shoes rubbing on the ground, as if from the moment they knew that the meeting was going to be held in the 202 meeting, everyone was anxious about where the fate of themselves and the company would go.

When Xiaoxiao and the others arrived in the conference room, they found that colleagues from other departments had already arrived, and the conference room with more than 100 people was silent, and everyone was staring at the chairman, general manager, and personnel manager sitting on the high platform.

After Xiaoxiao and the others sat down, the door of the conference room was tightly closed, and then Chairman Li of the company slapped the microphone, "Colleagues, I think you have also heard about the events of the past few days, so I don't want to hide it from you anymore." Chairman Li paused, and after glancing at the ceiling, he continued: "Reith Group has signed an acquisition contract with our Leike Media Company, and the contract will take effect tomorrow. Speaking of this, Director Li glanced at the HR manager, the HR manager nodded, stepped forward and said: "Then there is a good news and a bad news to be announced, the good news is that our company will have more business and better development in the future, and the treatment of employees will also be improved, and the bad news is that at the request of the Reess Group, the company will carry out the first layoff ......"

Speaking of this, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, "I can't help it, colleagues, I have tried my best to fight for it, and finally the board of directors of Rise Group agreed to reduce the previous layoff quota from 60 to 40 people, colleagues, I have done my best, thank you for your dedication to the company over the years......"

Xiaoxiao saw that Director Li's eyes were filled with tears, yes, over the years, many businesses have been brought down by Director Li, and it is also this man who knows the destiny of heaven quickly, who has built the company from an obscure media company to a top-ranked entertainment media consulting company in Beijing, and the acquisition is the end of the company and the starting point of the company.

Next, ask the HR manager to read out the list of layoffs. Manager Sun took the microphone and said, then Minister Yang of the Personnel Department, who was sitting on the right side of Manager Sun, bit his lip, took a deep breath and began to read the names of the unlucky colleagues on the layoff list.

In the process of reading the list, Xiaoxiao felt that the entire cranial nerves were tense, and her eyes were fixed on the top of the head of her colleague in front of her, which was similar to the Mediterranean Sea, but she didn't know how many times she prayed in her heart not to hear her name. When Minister Yang said, "After the list of layoffs is read, please go to the Finance Department to go through the relevant retirement procedures...... the crowd erupted in cheers, but the voice was fleeting.

When Xiaoxiao squeezed out of the conference room with the crowd, she didn't know whether she was happy or worried, happy that she didn't seem to hear her name, and worried that she seemed to hear Lin Nan's name. When Xiaoxiao walked back to the office area, she found that the colleagues who read the name were already cleaning up the items on the table, some of them were like robots to load office supplies into the storage box, and some of them were rude and full of indignation and smashed the items on the table directly into the storage box, and the woman who usually chatted about gossip during working hours cried while cleaning up things.

Xiaoxiao walked to Lin Nan's office and found that it was indeed as she thought, except for the pink Hellokitty sticker on Lin Nan's notebook, the desk was empty, Xiaoxiao stroked the pink Hellokitty sticker, she seemed to feel that it said goodbye to herself for Lin Nan.

"As I expected, she left, and you stayed. ”

Xiaoxiao didn't want to look back at Meng Xia at the moment, she could deduce from the tone of this sentence that Meng Xia had on her face at this time

kind of.

"Congratulations, though, you don't have to worry about sleeping on the streets. ”

A fire of ignorance rose from Xiaoxiao's body, she turned around and just wanted to slap Meng Xia, but saw Liu Shang shouting loudly: "The newly appointed president of the company will hold a morning meeting for all employees on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and no one is allowed to be late." After Liu Shang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"See you tomorrow, colleague Fan Xiaoxiao. Meng Xia Mei smiled and turned to leave, Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Xia who was wearing a hip skirt and bit her lip, and then took the pink Hellokitty sticker posted on Lin Nan's desk and pasted it on her desk.
