Before leaving work on Christmas Eve, the company handed out an apple and a small white-rimmed red hat to everyone. When it gets dark, it snows, and it's the kind of snow that is full of moisture and looks like rain. A gust of wind blew, like many silver needles dancing in the night. Shi Jiaojiao lifted the camel-colored scarf to her nose and looked into the distance, there was no trace of the bus waiting for her, so she decided to walk back. I walked through it once in the past, it took an hour, and I met a puppy that looked like Flowey on the way, maybe I can meet it today.

The heavy snow turned into rain completely, and the couples who arranged the event happily shared an umbrella and enjoyed the intimacy of the open. "It's time to come back, right?" Shi Jiaojiao put the umbrella on her shoulder, stood on the side of the road and tilted her head to listen to the phone, her expression quickly changed from expectation to disappointment, and the prompt on the phone was still suspended. Shi Jiaojiao put away her mobile phone, put on gloves and stared into the distance for a while, and a bus directly downstairs passed by slowly.

Until the New Year approached, Tang Jianyu's phone was not restored, and he did not return to China at Christmas. Shi Jiaojiao had no desire to use the new mobile phone at all, so she was no longer in a hurry to get in touch with Tang Jianyu. At first, she felt that she couldn't accept such a valuable gift, so although she wanted to, she was not allowed to use it herself, and at most she took it out and looked at it repeatedly. As a result, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and regardless of the price of this mobile phone and the three-fold difference between the budget for changing the mobile phone, I secretly thought that when I contacted Tang Jianyu, I would definitely spend money to buy it.

Waiting to completely lose her patience, Shi Jiaojiao looked at the beautiful and delicate machine in her hand, and thought angrily: I'll just change it to a cheap one, and yours will be returned to you as it is! "Hey, Jiaojiao, what are you thinking?" The female colleague came out of the bathroom and asked curiously when she saw Shi Jiaojiao looking at her mobile phone in a daze. When the colleague threw the paper that had wiped his hands into the paper basket, Shi Jiaojiao handed over the other party's mobile phone and said with a smile: "It's nothing, your mobile phone is so beautiful." The female colleague smiled kindly, "You can also change one, it's really not a burden to use a credit card installment." What you use now can enter the museum! Shi Jiaojiao knew that the other party was teasing with good intentions, so she smiled and nodded.

Tongyu's annual annual meeting has entered the final stage of preparation, in addition to the professional exhibition company planning, all departments of the company's administrative center, almost all staff are dispatched. At the annual meeting, not only the senior leaders of the three associations and the backbone of the major subsidiaries and branches will gather together, but also the suppliers and heads of upstream and downstream channels will be invited to attend. This is not only an annual feast for Tongyu, but even an important gathering that can represent related industries.

"Confirm your seat one last time!" Zhou Jialin took a roster and explained to the other two girls, and she came out of the public relations department, and she seemed to be very comfortable on this occasion. Shi Jiaojiao helped to count the stage props to be used in the art show and the small prizes in the lottery link, and the female colleague with short hair in the personnel department came over and asked, "Are you attending the annual meeting for the first time?" Shi Jiaojiao stacked a box of latex pillows on top of the other boxes and put them away, before she stopped and nodded.

"That's right." The short-haired woman gestured to Shi Jiaojiao and continued: "Tomorrow afternoon, the people in the administrative center don't have to go to work, they will come directly to the venue." In addition to the etiquette arranged by the exhibition company and the waiters rationed by the hotel, all our female colleagues are scattered to the corner in order to give the guests the most timely guidance and assistance. Shi Jiaojiao understood, it was said that tomorrow's meal could only be watched and not eaten, and she agreed bitterly: "Got it." ”

The short-haired woman said, "In order to make it easier to distinguish, tomorrow we will ask everyone to wear a white shirt and a black suit skirt, and black high heels of five centimeters or less. If not, hurry up and get ready. Shi Jiaojiao looked at her dress, and then understood what she meant by gesturing up and down, "Okay, I know." When the short-haired woman heard this, she put a tick in front of Shi Jiaojiao's name on the form in her hand, and turned around to find the next person who attended the annual meeting for the first time.

I returned to the office from the hotel, and then got off work from the company, and it was already dark when I left the building. Shi Jiaojiao sat on the bus back, and her colleagues were in a hurry to prepare in the banquet hall, if she hadn't told the supervisor that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch the last train, she didn't know what time it would be busy! Shi Jiaojiao leaned against the window, thinking that the shoe stores should be closed at this time. The professional suit was sent before when it was Tongyuan, and it basically met the requirements, only missing a pair of black high heels.

On the day of the annual meeting, the temperature was very low, and the shape of the dark clouds could not be seen in the sky, but there were gray colors, and it seemed that a heavy snow was brewing. Shi Jiaojiao thought that there was nothing to do in the office at the end of the year, so she could take a moment off in the morning and go to the pedestrian street to buy a pair of shoes. Who would have thought that the boss of the project department would suddenly come back from the field and hold a brief summary meeting, and the two of them were also within the scope of the meeting. Until eleven o'clock at noon, Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly nibbled on a piece of bread sponsored by a colleague and rushed out to buy shoes.

When I arrived at the venue, I was nearly half an hour late for work in the afternoon. The head of the public relations department often sent work to Shi Jiaojiao in the past two days, and when he saw her, he hurriedly said: "Where have you run to, I can't find you anywhere!" Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly prevaricated: "I didn't go anywhere, do you have anything you want me to do?" The team leader looked at the small silver watch and said, "We will welcome you in a while, and you will not be there when you arrange the standing." Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and apologized.

The team leader didn't have time to investigate, so he beckoned and said, "You come with me." She took Shi Jiaojiao to the side of the screen at the entrance of the banquet hall, the farthest place from the stage, and said, "When the time comes, you will stand here with the other two people, and pay attention to bringing seats to those who are late or go out halfway, and you have a good idea of the seats, right?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded affirmatively, and the team leader lifted her eyelids to look at her, "The other two are from the public relations department, and they can't make mistakes." Shi Jiaojiao didn't say a word, bit her lip and nodded, "Understood." ”

After eating the boxed lunch, Shi Jiaojiao stood at the place according to the prior arrangement and changed to other colleagues to eat. At this time, almost every table in the hall was seated, and the invitees were still being ushered in from outside. Shi Jiaojiao led the couple to the center of the venue and returned, a short road of more than 30 meters, as painful as a long march. The new shoes I bought in a hurry didn't fit the material and were hard, and I didn't feel it when I tried it on, but after walking a lot, I found that my heel was grinding and hurting.

She leaned on the screen, borrowed a large bonsai to cover a little, and was about to quietly relax the foot that hurt more severely, when she saw three people surrounding the female colleague on the other end of the screen, and asked, "We are Barilla Sugar, where should we sit?" The female colleague obviously got stuck after receiving too much, and she couldn't think of it for a while. Shi Jiaojiao immediately squeezed her heels into her shoes and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, you've been waiting for a long time, please come with me." When she took them away, the female colleague secretly made a "please" gesture.

I heard that not only Xiao Jiang will attend today, but even the old chairman also flew back from South Australia as usual. Many colleagues are inexplicably looking forward to it, with the excitement of watching the fairy meeting. Of course, Shi Jiaojiao is no exception, but she probably can't do it. The place where she was standing was still quite a distance away from the nearest banquet table, and the main table was so far away that it was impossible to distinguish between men and women, and the seats near the stage were directly entered from the backstage. Shi Jiaojiao looked around and found that there was no design for the lamp above her head, which can be said to be quite marginal!

After the opening, the guests gradually stabilized in their seats, and after the shareholder representative finished speaking, someone coaxed Mr. Jiang to come to the stage to open a song! The two girls who were chatting quietly covered their mouths and laughed, "This coaxing must be new, not to mention the show, coaxing him to the stage is also a character!" Shi Jiaojiao looked at the stage carefully, and sure enough, after a while, the general manager rushed out first, standing under the stage with a microphone and greeting something, and never heard the movement of the big boss.

The second round of the lottery has been halfway through the banquet, and the first prize provided by Tongyu has been drawn: a ten-day tour of Singapore and Australia for two, and the scene is immediately lively! However, at this time, occasionally people began to leave early. Shi Jiaojiao remembered that she had never drawn a "bottle again" in Dalian since she was a child, and she only won a consolation prize from everyone at the annual meeting of employees last month.

The banquet has entered the second half, and I don't think there will be any situation, even if there is, the three or four colleagues who got together to chat will deal with it immediately. Shi Jiaojiao observed for a while, watching the people in the banquet area staggered, watching the colleagues in the corner talking to each other, the scene was absolutely relaxed and absolutely chaotic, she quietly retreated behind the screen and went out through the gate. The hall was empty, there was only a row of empty tables left at the reception at the door, and the etiquette had long since disappeared.

The hallway was very quiet, with small round lamps shining densely on the soft light-colored carpet, a few large dark leather square stools in the middle of the aisle, and the smooth and heavy dark gold curtains looked elegant and graceful, only when the air conditioner was ventilated, there were extremely subtle fluctuations. As soon as the door closes, all the excitement inside seems to be cut into another space, and only the slightly cooler air and the silence of solitude are real.

Shi Jiaojiao walked to the corner of the two corridors of the banquet hall, which was relatively hidden, and could be seen through the untightened curtain cracks, facing the largest lake in City B, the water of which was as calm as the winter trees in the distance. "Phew!" Shi Jiaojiao accidentally scraped the skin of her foot when she sat down, and she couldn't help but gasp in pain, "It's not going to break, right?" She bent down and gently pulled out her foot, stood on tiptoe and looked at her heels: a large blood bubble had burst, a blur of blood and new fluid coming out of the wound!

She lowered her head, and before she could see the injury, she felt a trace of air flow, and when she looked up, she found that there was actually a door behind the huge landscape painting, the door was opened and closed, and the chorus of the business department came out and was closed inside. After being stunned for two or three seconds, Shi Jiaojiao immediately put on her shoes, jumped up without raising her head, lifted the hanging curtains in a panic, and hid behind at a lightning speed.
