Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rock Sugar Gourd
Everyone has eaten almost, and a few big leaders have just arrived, isn't this forcing everyone to accompany them to eat and drink for another round, God, I'm really sleepy, and I feel like my whole body is going to float.
Tonight, I finally met the legendary other vice president, the leader of the cost department, Mr. Du Youwei. He looked serious, he didn't smile the whole time, and even when others went to toast, he was asking about the progress of his work, and those who went to toast had to take a deep breath before daring to go over.
I don't like to join in the fun, it doesn't matter if he recognizes me or not, I just want to sit in the corner and rot.
"Jiajia, come here."
Sister Qin beckoned me to the table in the department, sure enough, our department is going to organize a group to toast, I heard that this Mr. Du has been rotating at the headquarters for three months, and this is the first time I have come back from the rotation to meet with everyone, and people from various departments have begun to form a group to mix their faces, after all, they are also the vice president who just came back from the headquarters.
I walked over lazily, helplessly picked up a small glass of red wine and followed behind, one didn't pay attention, Sister Qin directly poured me a large glass of red wine, I really wanted to splash a whole glass of wine on his face.
"You are a newcomer, you have to hurry up and brush your face in front of the leader, where is there enough wine for such a little wine."
"But, Sister Qin, I'm not very comfortable."
"It's okay, just have a drink."
I really couldn't help it, so I had to nod.
Not only our department is queuing, but the finance department is also queuing up to toast, Zexin stands in the middle of their department, looking very positive, unlike me, who is always at the back of the line, just thinking about waiting for others to eat and then take a bite.
My legs hurt, the leaders in front of me were still chatting, it was really uncomfortable, so I could only sit down and beat my legs, and then secretly poured red wine, changed a glass of Coke, and when I was boasting about my wit, I felt that someone was watching me.
As soon as I looked up, I just met Zexin's gaze, they finished toasting, and they were about to go back to their table, I immediately made a 'shhh' gesture, he pursed his lips and nodded with a smile and walked away.
Finally it was our department's turn, everyone flocked to the top, only Linlin and I calmly held a wine glass in one hand and swiped our mobile phones in the other.
Mr. Zhen took Li Wei, Wang Tao, and Sister Qin to toast at the front.
"Mr. Du, let's come back, how good the weather is in our Z city."
"Yes, in recent months, I feel that our company is in full swing, and I have frequently heard the performance report from Mr. Yifan at the headquarters, why is Mr. Yifan not here today?"
"Mr. Yifan just left for the headquarters last night, and he just missed it with you."
"Yes, it seems that there is good news to bring to the headquarters, very good, all departments are doing well."
"It's all led by Mr. Du." Sister Qin suddenly interjected and stepped forward to toast alone.
"Sister Qin is still so energetic, I won't drink them one by one, let's raise a glass together."
Then everyone raised their glasses and drank the whole glass of wine together.
"I found that there are a lot of newcomers from our personnel administration departments, and I feel a little embarrassed."
"Mr. Du, these are all assistants on our project, and they are all newly recruited. Now that the two departments have merged, there will be more things in the future, and more personnel will be needed," Mr. Zhen said, pushing the girls on several projects forward. "There's a new guy in the office building." Then Mr. Zhen looked up at me.
"Lin Jiajia, come here." Sister Qin immediately walked to the back and pulled me. "Mr. Du, this is Lin Jiajia, the new person in our office building."
"It's good to merge, it's long overdue, otherwise it will be too troublesome to pass the information." Mr. Du looked at me, and then continued to talk to Mr. Zhen.
"Yes, now I'm ready to get the work of this department up."
"It's good, what about that Xiao Zheng? Did you also go to the headquarters with Mr. Yifan? ”
"Yes."
"I heard that he is now the deputy manager, a young man who does practical things, no wonder Yifan always values him so much."
This Mr. Du is inseparable from Mr. Fan, either the relationship is really good, or it is a sworn enemy, I better take it easy, don't go up to be a target.
"Jiajia, what are you doing, why don't you hurry up and pour a toast for Mr. Du." Sister Qin saw me standing in front of Mr. Du without saying a word, and hurriedly put the wine cup in my hand. This Sister Qin, why did she let me go if she wanted to please Mr. Du, I didn't have time to hide, so she wanted to push me to the gun.
"Mr. Du, hello, I am Lin Jiajia, I respect you." After carefully pouring the wine for Mr. Du, he looked at him with a smile and drank it all.
"Lin Jiajia, I seem to have seen a video of you singing, it's you, the little pepper that is rumored within the company."
"Jiajia is talented, and she plays a good instrument, but she is too young and still needs to be tempered." Seeing that I was a little nervous, Mr. Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to answer for me.
"Youth is capital, a lot of training, singing is really good."
"Thank you, Mr. Du." I replied with my head bowed.
felt that he had nothing else to remember for the leader except these troubles, and then followed Mr. Zhen's gesture and stepped back.
After all departments had finished toasting one by one, I rushed downstairs as soon as possible, completely bothering to talk to my colleagues who were still politely saying goodbye inside.
On Christmas night, at ten o'clock in the evening, it was still very lively outside, and a couple passed by me. I took out my mobile phone and sent Kaizi a happy Christmas on WeChat, and he gave me a happy photo with Hu Yinan, this night, it seems that everyone is happy, except me.
Ah, and Simi, I immediately took out my mobile phone and sent him a greeting, but I didn't expect her to come back to me with a group photo, Nie Yifan flew back early to accompany her for Christmas, they were watching fireworks, and Simi was smiling happily in the photo. I really can't understand Nie Yifan, no, I can't understand men, what are they thinking, if they want to love, they will come to you, and if they don't want to love, they will hide far away.
I walked to the newsstand next to the company to buy a bunch of rock sugar gourds, but even the newsstand was closed, and the old man who usually stood at the intersection selling sugar was not there.
I don't know if it's because I can't buy rock sugar gourd, I want to eat it, I decided to try Zexin to see if I have me in my heart, took out my mobile phone and sent him a WeChat 'I want to eat rock sugar gourd' WeChat, if he doesn't reply to me, I will give up on him completely, and then go back to accept the blind date arranged by relatives during the New Year.
At half past ten in the evening, he walked downstairs to the dormitory, but he did not reply.
At 10:40 p.m., when he entered the door and changed into his pajamas, he did not reply.
At half past eleven in the evening, after washing up, he still did not reply.
At 12:10 p.m., when I turned off the lights and was ready to go to bed, my phone suddenly vibrate.
WeChat message shows 'Sleepy? I'm downstairs from you. He sent it.
I happily put on my coat and ran downstairs, he stood by the flower bed, holding two strings of rock sugar gourds in his hands, and the faint light of the street lamp sprinkled on his face that was slightly red from the cold, and I think I was attracted to him again.
I stopped less than ten paces away from him and kept looking at him, and I wanted to remember what he looked like now, the best picture I've seen in twenty-four years.
When he saw me standing still, he walked up to me and handed me the rock sugar gourd.
"It's not easy to buy in this season, so I found several supermarkets to buy it."
The moment I reached over to catch the rock sugar gourd, I touched his cold fingers, and tears kept rolling in my eyes, afraid that he would see it, so I lowered my head and buried my chin in the collar of my coat.
"If it's hard to buy, you can't buy it, why do you have to run so far on such a cold day."
"It's time for exercise, it's not early, you can go up quickly."
"I'll send you out of the community."
"No, it's too cold, you can go upstairs."
"Then you go first, I'll watch you go." I looked up at him with a smile.
"Okay." He turned around, still the familiar back, the winter wind blowing, and he could still smell the faint smell of milk on his body.
Tonight, I must have a good dream.
