Chapter 30: Lottery

I chatted casually with Li Hongxun, and the lottery began.

When Chu Junxi stood on the rostrum to draw lottery, the atmosphere in the hall almost reached a climax, and the screams, cheers, and cheers filled my eardrums one after another, making me frown secretly.

Compared with the excitement of other people, especially the almost crazy expectations of female employees, my calm is indeed very distinct, Li Hongxun saw that I was always sitting in the corner and unwilling to make do with the hall, and raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "You don't like to be lively?" ”

"It's fine." My eyes unconsciously searched for Ling Kai's figure in the hall, he had reminded me not to participate in the lottery before, so I didn't take the shoulder flower when I entered the hall, and naturally I didn't care about the result of the lottery.

"I heard that tonight's lucky winner will have a special surprise," she smiled mysteriously, raised her glass and clinked glasses with me, and we each took a sip of champagne and silently watched the excited crowd in the field, waiting for the results of the lottery to come out.

Two minutes later, the emcee shouted, "Who is 1918?" Number 1918, please stand up. ”

The screams rang out, and a female employee walked onto the rostrum in surprise surrounded by everyone, and she almost fainted on the spot when she saw her expression.

"Very well, the first lucky audience has been produced, so who is the second place? 2nd Place...... Number 1826! Who is number 1826? ”

The emcee's shouts grew louder and louder, and the crowd cheered louder, and I touched my earlobe, only to find such an activity extremely boring.

But after a few minutes, No. 1826 remained unclaimed, and the bustle suddenly fell silent, and I realized that something was wrong.

"What is this?" Li Hongxun, who was beside him, suddenly leaned over and asked curiously.

I followed her gaze and lowered my head, and my heart skipped a beat when my pupils met the purple silk flowers on my shoulders.

Obviously, I didn't get the flowers, but why is there one here?

I took off the silk flower in surprise, and looked at the number hanging down on the flower and leaf when it was "1826", I wanted to throw it away like a hot mountain, but Li Hongxun grabbed my hand, her soft and satin-like fingers carried a perseverance that was difficult to shirk, and said with a smile, "Fate is destined to be yours, after all, you can't escape, even if there is no this time, there will still be a next time, rather than escaping, it is better to face, what do you think?" ”

I looked up at her, her slightly amber eyes surging with brilliance and seductive power that I couldn't refuse. At that moment, I nodded as if I was fascinated and got up and walked over to the crowd in the hall.

"Who is the lucky one in 1826? It's not going to be empty, is it? On the rostrum, the master of ceremonies was still laughing and teasing, causing a small wave of laughter, and I was pushing through the crowd and slowly walking towards the rostrum.

At that time, I felt a force that drove me to go out and tell everyone in the room that I was the lucky one. But I was hesitant and struggling in my heart, because I didn't want to participate in the lottery, and I didn't want to provoke anyone in the moon, including the gentle Chu Junxi.

But I couldn't resist that force, it controlled my mind and body, and I couldn't resist it.

In front of everyone, I walked onto the rostrum, raised the silk flower in my hand in the envious, jealous, surprised, and suspicious eyes of the employees, and said calmly, "It's me." ”

"It turned out to be another beauty," the master of ceremonies chuckled and took the silk flower in my hand, in order to prove the fairness and justice of the lottery, he also deliberately raised the silk flower, so that the golden number "1826" on it was clearly presented in front of everyone.

If I was trapped by an invisible giant net, I only felt depressed and uncomfortable, I wanted to shout, but my throat was dry, and I couldn't make any sound to refuse, to resist, to tell everyone that I was not the owner of No. 1826, I didn't take the silk flower, I didn't!

At this time, I felt that Chu Junxi, who was standing behind the lottery platform ten steps away, glanced at me, and his gaze suddenly untied my body and mind with some kind of power, like a fish trapped in the water suddenly jumped onto the shore, and like a figure that had been walking in the dark for a long time finally regained its sight, I let out a long breath.

But the wood is already in the boat, countless pairs of eyes are staring at me, and I have no way to prove that the silk flower is not mine, let alone excuse or refuse. I could only stand passively on the rostrum, watching Chu Junxi continue to draw the number of the next lucky person, all the sound sources around me were like automatic blocking, I couldn't hear anything clearly, I just looked at the corner position, Li Hongxun was still sitting there dignifiedly, slowly tasting the champagne in his hand, extremely elegant, but it only taught me to feel cold in my heart.

As if sensing my gaze, Li Hongxun turned her head to look at me, the corners of her lips pulled slightly, revealing a faint and meaningful smile, and her smile fell in my eyes, like an ominous judgment, which immediately made me anxious.

When I was thinking like this, the last lucky person had been drawn, Chu Junxi began to dance with the first lucky person according to the regulations, everyone consciously let go of a space, the light gradually dimmed, the light music slowly poured out, the two slid into the dance floor Manman Ruoxian, the atmosphere from noisy to quiet, romantic atmosphere sprinkled throughout the audience.

I looked at Chu Junxi's elegant dance steps, with a gentle smile on his face that never diminished, and thought to myself that dancing was nothing, why should I make myself like a great enemy, but frighten myself?

A crumbling heart gradually relaxed, but I didn't feel that time was so difficult.

After the first dance music was finished and everyone gave warm applause, I thought that Chu Junxi would invite me to the dance floor according to the regulations, but I didn't expect that he did not walk in front of me, but walked up to the rostrum, took the microphone in the master of ceremonies and announced, "Tonight's event will be a little different from the past, because we arranged a huge surprise for the colleagues in the back." So what's the difference? First of all, the second dance party was completed by Mr. Wu Yue, the largest shareholder of our company, and I hope you can give them warm applause! ”

When the words fell, applause rose like thunder, but I was like thunder.

What are you kidding, if it's just a dance with Chu Junxi, I don't mind, but why is it different when I come here and become Wu Yue? It felt like I had fallen into a huge pit that I couldn't see the depths of, and it was clear that the pit had already been dug and waiting for me to jump in.

I was immediately a little angry, how could this feeling of being manipulated not be heart-wrenching? Looking up at Wu Yue, who was sitting far away at the back of the crowd, he put down the wine glass in his hand and walked towards the middle of the dance floor with a smile, wondering what excuse I should find to refuse him without affecting my work.
