Chapter 620: Afternoon Tea in the Company
On Friday afternoon, I was talking to a DHL courier about sending documents about the radar. When I looked up, I saw Li Xin standing at the door with a smile on her face.
- "Please come in, dear!" I said that after this meeting, I became familiar with Li Xin.
- "Still busy?" Li Xin walked in and asked.
- "After sending these documents, it's okay today." I replied.
- "Oh! Li Xin watched the courier leave, turned around and said to me:
- "Mr. Ying asked me to invite you to afternoon tea." ”
- "Mr. Ying? I looked at her puzzled.
- "Huh...... I didn't make it clear, it's not the general manager of Ying, this Ying is always the chief financial officer of our group. She said, "If you're done, go sit down." Li Xin explained with a smile.
I'm fine, but is it appropriate to go for tea during working hours? Besides, how could this Ying Zong invite me? My stomach was full of questions.
- "You'll know when you go!" Li Xin said with a smile.
Li Xin led me to a lounge. Pushing open the door, I saw quite a few people sitting in the room.
In the center of the white gold-encrusted European sofa are plates of pastries and a set of English country-style tea sets.
There was a lady sitting on the sofa opposite the door, she looked like she was in her fifties, slightly fat, her round face was very fair, and her facial features were nothing special, but her eyes were a little sharp. This lady's appearance is ordinary, but the overall feeling is very noble, and there is an obvious sense of superiority in her conversational temperament.
Beside her sat a woman of forty-five or sixteen, who was not tall, with very dull features, permed the short hair common to middle-aged women, and was smiling brightly. On the sofa next to her sat Meng Xiuwen.
Speaking from the heart, Meng Xiuwen still has a deep impression on me, maybe it's because her almost the same height as me is more prominent! Her age should be forty-five or sixteen years old, her facial features are not too distinctive, but her temperament is quiet, her body is not fat or thin, she has a hairstyle like Xinxin's bob, the only thing she lacks is that her skin is very poor, her complexion is yellow and dark and there are obvious spots. At the moment, she also sat there quietly.
Opposite Meng Xiuwen sat the beautiful Ms. Pang. Today, Ms. Pang's outfit is still particularly eye-catching.
The lady sitting in the middle was the first to see us, and she smiled and asked:
- "It's Lina, right?" ”
- "This is Mr. Ying! Li Xin introduced.
- "Hello, Mr. Ying! I said
- "Hello, Linna, please be seated, well, it is true to its name!" Ying smiled and said to the curly-haired woman next to her.
- "Pretty right, isn't it?" Li Xin smiled and sat down beside me.
- "I used to think that Lijun was the most beautiful person I have ever seen, but today I know what it means to have a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!" The curly-haired woman said with a smile.
Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Meng Xiuwen's mouth.
I don't know who Lijun she was talking about, but her comparison made me feel uncomfortable, and I looked at her......
- "This is Manager Peng from the Finance Department. Li Xin introduced
- "Hello, Manager Peng! I said.
- "Hello, hello! Manager Peng replied with a smile.
- "Linna, we've seen each other for a long time! ”
Ms. Pang looked at me with a strange expression, she said.
- "Hello! I said hello to her.
Ms. Pang grinned, picked up her cup and began to drink coffee, ignoring me again.
- "This is the coffee that Lijun brought from the United States, Linna, you can taste it too!" Mr. Ying said, hearing this, Meng Xiuwen brought me a cup of coffee.
- "Thank you, Manager Meng. I said.
Meng Xiuwen didn't speak, but smiled at me.
I took a sip of coffee and said to Mr. Ying with a smile:
- "It's delicious! ”
- "How can we Lijun have anything bad! Mr. Ying smiled.
- "It's strange to say, what tastes bad as soon as it arrives in China." How can this same brand of coffee taste different from that of the United States? Ms. Pang's expression was very disdainful.
- "It is said that the coffee sold to China is made according to the taste that the Chinese like." Li Xin said.
- "Linna, you've been in the group for almost a month, haven't you?" How does it feel to be here? Still used to it? Mr. Ying asked, sipping his coffee.
- "I'm trying to get used to the job here as quickly as possible, and to be honest, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to work." I said
After listening to my answer, Mr. Ying smiled and looked away without speaking.
- "Li Xin, you said that you will go to the United States to give birth next year, is this true or false?" Ms. Pang looked at Li Xin and asked.
- "I'll just ask around and find out how others do it." Li Xin replied.
- "Huh? Li Xin, are you already here? How can it be kept secret? Why haven't we heard? Manager Peng asked.
Everyone looked at Li Xin. Li Xin smiled and waved his hand and said in denial:
- "No, no, absolutely not yet! That's why my husband and I discussed wanting to have a child next year, and we're both old. ”
- "Yes! It's time to hurry, Li Xin, you're almost thirty, right? When I was your age, my sons were two years old. Mr. Ying said.
- "I'm thirty years old, isn't it?" My mother-in-law urges me every day, and I feel that I can't put it off any longer. Li Xin said to Mr. Ying with a smile.
I looked around the crowd and saw that it was all women, so it's no wonder that everyone was talking about it.
- "Nowadays, is it fashionable to go to the United States to have children?" How did I hear that my cousin's classmate was born over there, Li Xin, are you planning to immigrate in the future? Manager Peng asked.
- "I haven't decided whether to immigrate or not, but children born there have the opportunity to obtain U.S. citizenship, which is much easier than applying later." I just want to give my children a little more chance. Li Xin said.
- "It's true, it's not easy for us to get a green card, let alone naturalization." Ms. Pang said.
- "The living environment in the United States is good, not to mention the low prices, the key is that the quality of the goods is good, even if it is made in China, but the clothing sold in the United States is better than our domestic quality!" Li Xin said.
- "Yes, I found out too. Oh, Lijun, you bought this dress in the United States, right? Mr. Ying nodded in agreement, then turned to Ms. Pang and asked.
- "Yes! I don't buy clothes in China anymore, and I can't look at the clothes in BJ Mall. Ms. Pang replied.
Mr. Ying's question made me eat, it turned out that Ms. Pang's name was Pang Lijun, so Ms. Peng compared me with her just now. Only then did I understand why Meng Xiuwen had that kind of expression.
I took a sip of my coffee and started to taste some of the bitterness in it.
- "Your jeans are American, too, right?" I think it's like the Lee poster I saw had you wearing this style. Li Xin asked me.
- "Maybe it's a similar style, but I definitely didn't buy it in a brand store. I replied.
- "Don't say it, this America is just different from us, the jeans bought in some of their good supermarkets are the same as those in our brand stores, and the price is still cheap." Li Xin said.
- "I haven't been to the United States, and I didn't buy these jeans in the supermarket. I said, and everyone looked at me. I went on to say:
- "Actually, I saw these jeans when I was visiting the wholesale zoo market. I wanted to buy it, but the shopping guide wouldn't sell it. Later, it was their boss who wanted me to shoot an ad for these jeans in exchange for giving me a few pairs of their jeans for free. Well, the one I'm wearing is their merchandise. "After I finished speaking, seeing everyone's expressions on me was like seeing aliens, and it wasn't much more than stunned.
After a while, Mr. Ying suddenly burst out laughing. At this time, General Manager Ouyang came in, and he asked with a smile:
- "What's so much fun about it?" I hear you laughing all over the hallway. ”
Mr. Ying saw him and said with a smile:
- "What are you doing here again?" I can't hide from you no matter how I go. ”
- "You're out of the way, but I'll look for it!" Ouyang smiled and sat on the sofa.
Mr. Ying didn't pay attention to him anymore, she looked at me with curiosity in her eyes and asked:
- "How about you look at my lounge?" It is specially designed for afternoon tea, our group is Chinese style decoration except for me, and today it is the first time to use it! ”
I looked around the lounge. To be honest, I really like the design here, with a white tone, a bar and a white piano to make it feel more casual and comfortable.
However, the bar doesn't seem to be in use yet, and the piano looks like no one is playing. It seems that some of the facilities here are not yet complete.
- "It's beautiful, I love the delicate design with a Rococo twist, and it would be perfect if you had a chic metal tray shelf for these snack plates!" I said.
- "Good! Nalena, you just bother to buy me a beautiful tray shelf! Mr. Ying said with a smile.
- "Good! I smiled and agreed.
- "Oh, yes! Ouyang, Linna has been in our group for almost a month, I think this probation period is enough, let's officially join! You tell me? Mr. Ying looked at Ouyang and asked.
Hearing this, the expression on Ouyang's face seemed to be a little surprised, he looked at me and said with a smile:
- "What's the problem, you can handle it today." ”
