Chapter 18: Until the edifice collapses

All five directors are now seated at the table.

However, the next moment there was another sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Li Yu looked there and saw Xu Mengyuan and the puppet that she had taken upstairs before.

In particular, the latter attracted Li Yu's attention, and unlike other expressionless peers in the living room, the puppet's body revealed a strong sense of confusion and loneliness.

His eyes were hollow and his steps faltered, as if he had been drained of his soul and had lost all purpose and hope, but he mechanically followed Miss HR and walked towards the outside of the manor.

Bernard sniffed and stuck a lion's head in his chopsticks, "Who is that guy?" ”

"An intruder," Miss Windsor said, "is not our employee. ”

"Why did he become the way he is," Mr. Qin asked, "he was in your room before?" ”

"He is the one who came to me," said Miss Windsor, "hoping to get an answer from me, and I warned him that the truth is not for everyone to bear.

"But he wouldn't heed my admonition, and according to the company's rules, I granted his wish as a reward for arriving here tonight."

"Poor fellow."

Bernard sighed as he ate the lion's head, "The ants have been looking for the mountains, but in the end they find that they are just a slightly larger stone.

"You're so bad, I bet he won't be able to feel any more joy for the rest of his life."

"It's not my fault." Miss Windsor said, "Mr. Qin, I heard that there is an old saying in your country called seeking benevolence and obtaining benevolence, and I just gave him what he wanted. ”

"Can you please stop chattering like this," said Sergei, who had been feasting and drinking, impatiently, "Do you need me to remind you again, there is not much time left for us." ”

"It's because you're too nervous, the plan went more smoothly than expected, we've already got two of the three key props, and there are more than a thousand days left, and we can even advance a lot with this progress." Bernard retorted.

Taylor spoke at this time, "In the past year, my main focus has been on the equipment department, and I haven't paid much attention to the business department, is there any news worth noting?" ”

"We've recruited two new employees, one of whom is an immortal." Mr. Qin said.

"The undead?"

"That's right, he has the same godhead sequence as the legendary man." Miss Windsor said.

"The holder of [Reborn], that godhead really exists." Hearing this, Taylor couldn't help but become interested, "If we can get him earlier, the development progress of [Reincarnation Bell] may be able to be advanced."

"Eternal life is always the most difficult of all subjects, what is his name, have you made an exception to send him an invitation to this year's annual meeting?"

"No, his name is Li Yu, he joined the company more than half a year ago, but his rank has reached P5 and he is qualified to attend tonight's annual meeting."

"You helped him privately?" Miss Windsor asked.

Mr. Qin shook his head, "No, according to the regulations, we can't interfere in the specific operation of the business department." ”

"And do you fancy him?"

Before Mr. Qin could speak, he heard Taylor say first, "I'm very interested in him, and I want to meet him later." ”

"He's sitting at the seventh table to your right." Mr. Qin said.

"Good, I'm done." Taylor put down his chopsticks and looked at the other four.

Miss Windsor shrugged her shoulders and pushed the plate aside, while Bernard hesitated a little, the lion's head in his bowl was only half eaten.

But in the end, he gave in, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full, too." ”

Sergei snorted coldly, but did not say anything against it, because he was really full.

Mr. Qin waved his hand at the two twins.

So the two came to the giant color TV again, and they didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened the second round of the lottery.

This time, Shi Yiyu's luck was good, and he won three glutinous rice dumplings, whose name was [Momotaro's dumplings]

And after reading the introduction, Li Yu and Hephaestus finally confirmed that this is the dumpling in the famous folk tale.

"So the role of these balls is to recruit animals as companions."

The handsome mixed-race guy took a glutinous rice dumpling and looked at it a few times, and then asked the teacher, "What animal are you going to feed it?"

"Well, although cats and dogs are very cute, but they are too ordinary, if you want to raise them, you can go directly to the pet store to buy them or go to the rescue center to adopt them, the opportunity is rare, and you really want to raise some more powerful animals, how about tigers and lions?"

Shi Yiyu thought for a while and said, "There are elephants on the continent where I am located, I plan to use this glutinous rice dumpling to recruit an elephant as a mount, and then go to the sea to see if I can meet a sperm whale or a blue whale or something, I have always wanted to try what it is like to ride a whale." ”

"Who are you going to feed the last remaining glutinous rice dumplings?" Li Yu asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet," Shi Yiyi said, "I might choose to keep it for the time being." ”

The lottery was still going on when the three of them talked, but this time Li Yu and Hephaestus still failed to win the lottery.

The mixed-race handsome guy couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, and this time he changed his teacher to comfort the two, "It's okay, the more you go to the back, the better the prizes, and those who have won the prize according to the regulations can no longer participate, and your chances of winning the lottery are also increasing." ”

Seeing that the last prize had also been given away, Mr. Qin stood up from his seat, and the twins also took the initiative to step aside.

Mr. Qin walked up to the giant color TV, took the microphone, and clapped his hands twice.

The living room was instantly quiet, and everyone put down the tableware in their hands.

"Ten days off, winning friends like clouds; Thousands of miles to welcome, full of friends. Mr. Qin opened his mouth and said leisurely.

There are quite a few interdimensional travelers in the audience, but even if they bring their own translators, it still sounds a little obscure in ancient Chinese.

However, Li Yu and other Chinese employees immediately heard that these two sentences came from Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", which mainly depicted the grand scene of a large number of guests.

After reading these ancient sentences, Mr. Qin continued, "Another year of hard work, I saw a lot of old faces tonight, and there are also some new faces.

"Very well, as long as everyone is willing to work hard and do their own thing, the company and the board of directors will definitely not treat everyone badly.

He paused, then announced, "Anyone who comes to the annual meeting tonight will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan, which I have already sent to your salary card, and you will be able to check it after you leave the manor."

"In addition to this, the company will also have additional rewards for employees who have performed extremely well in the past year."
