Chapter 25: Birthday Wishes
There was still a quarter of an hour to get off work, and Mr. Fei suddenly walked into the office of the outreach team with a large red box. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Everyone put down the work in their hands first, and they all went to the conference room for a meeting." With that, he walked into the small conference room next door.
One by one, the people in the office stood up and walked towards the conference room. Huilan hurriedly asked Zhong Yueling, who was sitting opposite: "Sister Zhong, what meeting are you going to have when you get off work?" ā
Zhong Yueling grinned: "It's a birthday celebration." ā
Whelan didn't seem to quite understand yet, repeating the phrase: "Birthday celebrations? Then he asked, "Who's on your birthday?" ā
Zhong Yueling pointed to her nose and said, "Today is my birthday." After speaking, he smiled again, "Your sister Zhong is twenty-seven years old this year!" The good youth is over! He stood up.
Whelan also stood up and said, "You're twenty-seven!" Not at all! She looked at Zhong Yueling carefully, "Isn't this similar to me!" She was afraid that Zhong Yueling would not believe it and added, "Really! It's not like twenty-seven at all. After speaking, he followed Zhong Yueling towards the conference room.
The large office of the Outreach Group has a conference room dedicated to the reception of guests and meetings of the Department. The door to the office is a wide hallway, with a door on the left, and a rectangular conference room inside. In the middle of the conference room, there is a dark red table, and there is a circle of dark red folding chairs around it. At the top of the room is a 56-inch flat-screen TV on the TV stand, and there is a set of sound equipment on both sides, and a DVD player, karaoke player and a computer are placed under the TV stand. It looks like it's very well equipped.
The partition wall between the conference room and the office is a glass wall with a cream-white curtain drawn in front of it. This meeting room can also be used as a temporary lounge, sometimes after working overtime, it is not convenient to go home and sleep on a chair temporarily.
The office is also rectangular, with three rows of desks arranged vertically, each with five pairs of desks, and divided into five zones, thus forming fifteen pairs of desks, for a total of thirty desks. At the back and right of the office are windows, and on the right side of the office door is a row of cabinets. Zhong Yueling and Whelan sat at the innermost table in the row on the right.
At this time, the people in the office were not uniform, some were on a business trip, some were out to run errands, and there were about 20 people in the room, and everyone walked into the conference room one after another. The red square box was placed in the middle of the conference table.
When Figa saw that the people were almost coming, he said; According to the company's rules, whoever has a birthday, the company will send a cake and celebrate his birthday collectively. Today is Zhong Yueling's birthday, so we celebrate Zhong Yueling's birthday. First of all, I would like to mention yƬ and wish Zhong Yueling a happy birthday! Everyone applauded. Everyone clapped their hands.
"Let's get the birthday cake out there." Fei Jia glanced at the venue, "Whelan, you help open the box and take out the birthday cake." ā
Whelan hurriedly walked over and opened the red cardboard box, and the fragrance of cream chocolate immediately wafted from the room, revealing a twelve-inch cream chocolate fruit cake. The top layer of the cake is a layer of cream, and a few big red words are written on the cream: Happy birthday Zhong Yueling! Underneath the cream is a chocolate cake with fruit chunks inside. Whelan put a thin red candle on the cake, and Feiga took out a lighter and lit the candle and said, "It's time for the little bell to play!" ā
Zhong Yueling walked to the edge of the cake, and then said, "I'll make a wish first." As he spoke, he put his palms together on his chest, closed his eyes and began to make a wish. After a moment, she opened her eyes.
Fei Jia took the lead in singing "Birthday Song", and everyone sang along: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you?????? Singing echoed in the conference room, expressing everyone's best wishes. After the singing, everyone applauded again and wished Zhong Yueling a happy birthday. Zhong Yueling smiled and blew out the burning candle.
Whelan handed a plastic cutter to Zhong Yueling and whispered, "It's time to cut the cake!" ā
Zhong Yueling took the knife and cut it down from the middle of the cake, and then cut another knife next to it, and a small piece of cake was cut. Whelan handed over a small paper plate, Zhong Yueling put the cake on the paper plate, then handed it to Fei Jia and said, "Please taste the first cake." ā
Fei Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no, the first cake should be given to you, today is your birthday, or should you taste it first." As he spoke, he pushed Zhong Yueling's hand back.
"Alright! Then I'll eat it first! Zhong Yueling said and gave the cutter to Whelan.
Whelan cut another piece and put it on a plate, handed it to Feijia and said, "This second piece is yours!" ā
Fei Jia agreed to take the cake and took a bite, nodding his head as he chewed it, and said, "Xiao Zhong's birthday cake is so sweet!" ā
Pieces of birthday cakes were put into paper plates, and Whelan handed them to each colleague one by one, and everyone happily ate the birthday cakes with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, like a harmonious family.
In the end, Huilan also took a piece of cake and walked to Zhong Yueling's side while eating, and said happily: "This cake is very good!" ā
"It's a brand-name cake, and of course it's delicious." Zhong Yueling said.
"There are more than 20 people in our group, and we have to eat cake twice a month on average!" Eating her cake, Whelan said she thought the birthday would be interesting.
Zhong Yueling had already finished eating the cake, wiped her mouth and said, "Actually, everyone's birthdays are not even, there are four people celebrating their birthdays in December!" ā
"That's great! We were able to eat cake four times that month. Whelan said happily, "Then in December we will buy four kinds of cakes and eat each one." ā
"Looks like you really love cake!" Zhong Yueling smiled, "Okay, then satisfy you and let you eat all the good cakes." Whelan laughed.
The birthday party was over, and Whelan helped clean up the conference room, and returned to his seat with Zhong Yueling. The people in the office went home from work one after another, and there were only two people left in the office, Zhong Yueling and Huilan, who sorted out their satchels and asked Zhong Yueling: "When are you leaving?" ā
"I'll wait a little longer, you can go first! I'm going to a party in a moment. Zhong Yueling looked at the computer screen and said.
Huilan put on her shoulder bag and said, "Sister Zhong, then I'll go first!" Zhong Yueling raised her head to look at Huilan, waved her hand and said goodbye, and watched Huilan walk towards the office door.
Walking out of the office door, Whelan saw Fei Jia walking towards him, so he hurriedly greeted Fei Jia and said politely: "Mr. Fei is not leaving!" ā
Fei Jia nodded politely and said, "You go first!" We've got a little bit of something to do. Hey, don't make any arrangements tomorrow night, there's a dinner party to welcome you. With that, he walked into the office of the Outreach Team.
Whelan pondered: How busy it is to be a leader! Thinking so, he walked out of the company. Take the elevator downstairs, walk out of the lobby on the first floor, and come to the outside of the building. She took a deep breath, then exhaled again, feeling refreshed. Today is the first time I went to work, and it is not only the first day of work after graduation, but also the first time I have actually gone to work since I was born. On this day, Whelan felt very fresh, felt the cultural atmosphere of this company, and felt the relationship between people.
