NO.26 DEPARTMENTAL DINNER
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the month. As soon as the personnel of the finance department arrived at the end of work, they immediately packed up their things and prepared to get off work.
Today is the day of the dinner party of the Finance Department, and everyone is very jubilant.
But Zhao Chuyin was not very happy, because Shao Xuan had promised to accompany her before, but because the company had an important project to hold a meeting temporarily, and he didn't know when it would end, Shao Xuan couldn't come to the party.
In order not to cause trouble to the company, Zhao Chuyin told Director Wang that he was the only one to attend the dinner. Although she didn't want to participate in such an occasion, she was forced by Director Wang's pressure to obey.
"Hatsune, let's get in my car and go."
As soon as I thought that Xia Yingying's boyfriend was waiting downstairs, just run into it, and wait for the same car, I felt bored when I thought about it, Zhao Chuyin categorically didn't want to, she was about to refuse Xia Yingying euphemistically, Director Wang appeared in time, saved the scene, and avoided an embarrassment.
"Hatsune, come with me later, I have something to explain to you." Director Wang just made an excuse, she just wanted to create a chance for Gu Ye and Zhao Chuyin to get along.
"Okay." Zhao Chuyin couldn't wait to agree.
"Yingying, you can go over first."
The leader came forward, Xia Yingying didn't want to say anything, and walked out of the office with a fashionable gray handbag.
Zhao Chuyin thought that if she walked one step later than Xia Yingying, she would not meet Yingying's boyfriend, but she didn't expect that when she went downstairs, Xia Yingying and the others hadn't left, so they could only say hello to Yingying, but they didn't even look at Xia Yingying's boyfriend, and walked to the underground parking lot with Director Wang first.
"That one is Yingying's boyfriend just now, tall and big, at least one meter eight." Director Wang asked Zhao Chuyin curiously.
"Hmm." Zhao Chuyin replied indifferently and said nothing.
"You've seen it before, haven't you?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Chuyin sat in the car, only to find that Gu Ye was already waiting in the car, and then remembered that as soon as the bell rang for work, Gu Ye disappeared, and it turned out that he had sat in Director Wang's car in advance and waited.
Although there is a trace of embarrassment, it is better to think about it than sitting in a car with Xia Yingying's boyfriend, and Zhao Chuyin doesn't think about it anymore.
In order to cope with the arrival of the family, the location of the finance department for this dinner was selected at a mid-range seafood buffet restaurant in the center of Shiso, not far from the company.
As soon as you enter the hall, the palatial decoration style catches the eye. Walk in slowly and you'll find a variety of fresh and delicious foods that will make your mouth water. Unlimited sashimi, all kinds of shellfish, as well as a teppanyaki barbecue area and snack area, you don't know which one to eat first.
There were a total of seven people in the finance department, and the number of people who reported to attend the dinner was 11, so the restaurant adopted a table sharing method to deal with it.
Above the table is an ornate crystal lamp, and the faint light cast by the crystal lamp makes the restaurant look more tranquil. But look around, there are a lot of people who come to eat, you say a word, I say a word, it is lively and noisy. This is a stark contrast to the tranquil lights above.
Everyone sat down one by one. After that, they all rushed to the various food areas to find their own food.
Zhao Chuyin exchanged conditions with Director Wang in advance, saying that he would sit in the farthest corner, because this was the most casual and there was no pressure.
But as soon as she sat down, Gu Ye sat on her left, which made her feel uncomfortable. However, the next scene made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Xia Yingying naively thought that she could use this opportunity to persuade Zhao Chuyin to accept her boyfriend, so that Zhao Chuyin could see that her boyfriend was good, so she pulled her boyfriend to sit opposite Zhao Chuyin, although her boyfriend looked very hesitant.
Looking at Xia Yingying's boyfriend who was sitting diagonally opposite him, Zhao Chuyin frowned, his face was unhappy, and he didn't even want to raise his head.
She took some sashimi and tasted it, this was something Gu Yefei wanted to help her, and it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Zhao Chuyin didn't want to fight with him.
"This year, everyone has worked hard, and I wish you all the best in the new year...... Everyone is free and uninhibited. ”
Director Wang made some polite opening remarks, and the dinner party officially began.
Everyone eats, chats, and drinks, but it's not lively.
Xiaobai found a boyfriend in just a few days, and he didn't look bad, which everyone didn't expect, and they ridiculed her if she was a rented boyfriend. Xiaobai resolutely denied it, judging from her reaction, this boyfriend is real.
"Is this your boyfriend? Why don't you want to introduce yourself? Gu Ye looked at Xia Yingying's boyfriend who was sitting opposite him and chatted politely.
"Ah, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, named Shi Lei. Xia Yingying immediately put down her mobile phone, held her boyfriend's arm, and introduced it with a full face.
"Shi Lei, right? Hello, my name is Gu Ye, Yingying's colleague. ”
"Hello, Gu Ye, I heard Yingying mention it." Shi Lei shook hands with Gu Ye and started talking.
Zhao Chuyin held her cheek with her left hand, turned her head to look at the barbecue area on the right, she really hoped to escape from here at this time, she stood up, ready to find something delicious to come over.
"Hatsune, why are you going?" Gu Ye saw that Zhao Chuyin stood up, and hurriedly asked, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to perform. Shi Lei's eyes on the other side also stared at Zhao Chuyin tightly.
"I'm going to find something to eat."
"You sit down and wait, I'll get it for you." Gu Ye was in a hurry, grabbed Zhao Chuyin's arm, and was instantly defeated by Zhao Chuyin's cold knife-like eyes, and quickly let go of Zhao Chuyin's arm.
"Hatsune, you let him take it." Xia Yingying also stood up to help, as a woman, she could certainly see Gu Ye's thoughts.
Director Wang, who was sitting at the front of the table, was even more drunk, and had been paying close attention to Gu Ye and Zhao Chuyin's every move.
"Alright, sit down. I'll go! Gu Ye didn't wait for Zhao Chuyin's next reaction, like a bolt of lightning, he left his seat with a "whoosh".
Soon, Gu Ye brought a plate of delicious food, and then left with a brisk walk. It didn't take long for Zhao Chuyin to have a pile of food in front of him, small tomatoes, roasted scallops, sashimi, cakes, almost all of which in this restaurant were in front of Zhao Chuyin's eyes. And there is only one food of each kind, which makes Zhao Chuyin cry and laugh.
Shi Lei looked at Gu Ye with an indescribable strange look.
"Hatsune, you must come to next year's engagement ceremony, I hope you can bless us." While Xia Yingying raised the wine glass with her left hand, she touched Shi Lei, who had been cramped and restless beside her, with her right elbow. As an only daughter, she regards Zhao Chuyin as a family member, and she hopes that her marriage can be blessed by Zhao Chuyin.
Shi Lei understood what Xia Yingying meant, and also raised his wine glass towards Zhao Chuyin, but his eyes were evasive.
Hey, you can't teach your son. How can I possibly bless you?
Zhao Chuyin didn't know how many times she scolded in her heart, she hated Xia Yingying for being so stupid, how could she lower her body so much for a man. But on such an occasion, it is inappropriate to make a stiff noise.
Zhao Chuyin picked up the wine glass, intending to drink it all without saying a word. Gu Ye didn't know where it came from, and suddenly stood to the right of Zhao Chuyin, snatching the wine glass in Zhao Chuyin's hand.
"She doesn't drink, I'll drink for her."
Gu Ye is very proud of his hero saving beauty. Director Wang also enjoyed watching it.
"Wait!"
Isn't this familiar sound?
Zhao Chuyin hurriedly turned his face, Gu Ye even had the wine glass to his mouth, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly followed the voice.
Everyone present also looked at Zhao Chuyin in unison. Director Wang dilated his pupils and stretched his neck, wanting to see what was going on.
"Shao Xuan!" Zhao Chuyin was overjoyed and couldn't help but stand up.
"Is that him?" Xia Yingying whispered, she had seen Shao Xuan twice, but she didn't expect him to appear here.
I saw Shao Xuan with short hair and a black windbreaker, walking over in high spirits.
"Why are you here?"
Shao Xuan glanced at Zhao Chuyin tenderly, then passed behind her, came to Gu Ye's side, snatched the wine glass, raised his head and drank it up.
Everyone present was stunned.
Shao Xuan smacked his mouth after drinking, and then frowned.
"It's not wine, it's water, right?!"
Zhao Chuyin couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Hearing that it was water, Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed in embarrassment.
"Naughty!" Shao Xuan touched Zhao Chuyin's head, then glanced around, and finally locked his gaze on Gu Ye.
"Gu Ye, right? Thank you for just taking care of my girlfriend. Shao Xuan patted Gu Ye's shoulder, and under his gentle gaze was a sharp look and full of vinegar.
As soon as Shao Xuan's words came out, everyone present was stunned again, and their eyes widened. Whispers of ear-to-ear whispers ensued.
"What?! Xiao Zhao has a boyfriend?! ”
"When? I've never heard of her! ”
"This Xiao Zhao is too well hidden."
"Wouldn't it be rented too?"
"Go, go, pay attention to what you say, what is it, my boyfriend is serious."
As soon as Xiaobai heard the word "rent" now, his whole nerves tensed.
Director Wang was even more surprised that he didn't react for a long time. She also planned to match Gu Ye and Zhao Chuyin, but Zhao Chuyin didn't know when a boyfriend appeared, which caught her off guard.
I'm still here to make a fool, and the famous flowers of Hatsune have all the masters, hey, mess up the mandarin duck score, and worry about it.
Xia Yingying, who was on the other side, was so surprised that she almost spit out the salmon in her mouth, and she was surprised that Zhao Chuyin actually accepted Shao Xuan's love. And Shi Lei next to her didn't look very surprised, but more seemed to be jealous and angry.
"I have a boyfriend, Hatsune, you've hid it so well!" Xia Yingying was suddenly a little unhappy, and the good sister had a boyfriend but hid herself, and she inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Chuyin was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Yingying, long time no see!" Shao Xuan looked at Xia Yingying and smiled triumphantly.
"It's your boyfriend, we seem to have met before." Shao Xuan turned his gaze to Shi Lei. It's just that the more he looks at Shi Lei, the more he has a strange feeling, but what is the feeling, he can't say it well for a while.
"Hello, I've seen it before. I am Shi Lei, Xia Yingying's boyfriend. Shi Lei stood up and shook Shao Xuan's hand hard, his hostile gaze made Shao Xuan feel weird.
When Zhao Chuyin saw this scene, goosebumps rose, and he just wanted to quickly pull Shao Xuan out of here.
Gu Ye couldn't accept everything in front of him, and after being stimulated, he felt that his face was dull. He had planned to take this opportunity to conquer Zhao Chuyin, but it seemed that he had failed before he even started. He sat down in chagrin and drank without saying a word, a situation that only wine can cure.
In order not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere, Director Wang hurriedly stood up to adjust the atmosphere. All kinds of jokes, all kinds of diverting attention, and even stepped forward to say hello to Shao Xuan.
Zhao Chuyin also felt that it was really inappropriate to stay any longer, so he said hello to Director Wang and left ahead of schedule with Shao Xuan.
The two men walked on the road hand in hand at night, talking about what had just happened......
"I'm so stupid, I actually grabbed boiled water with a man to drink, and I knew that I would let that Gu Ye drink it."
The more Shao Xuan thought about it, the more funny he felt, and Zhao Chuyin "giggled" and laughed.
