Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 1 Everyday Life in the Present World

Section 7: Dinners

The week flies by quickly, and it's the weekend in the blink of an eye. Today happened to be the birthday of a leader of the company, and it was a weekend, and the directors of various departments of the company wanted everyone to relax, so they organized this dinner.

Yueqing's company is not very big, the company even counts more than 500 sales and promotion personnel outside, in fact, there are more than 100 people working in the company at this level, today is the birthday of the deputy general manager, and several executives of the company organized a birthday for the leader. There were probably less than 50 people attending the party, and Yueqing didn't want to come as a small accountant, but Chen Yuan, the financial manager and technical manager of their department, said to let her come, so she followed.

"I said you'd definitely come too, and I'd see you from afar." Zhang Yuan came earlier than me and was waiting for me at the door of the restaurant.

"Ah, you're early." Yueqing approached and said to Zhang Yuan.

"I didn't go anywhere after work, I wanted to go to Oda Na, but I was angry when I thought about it, so I didn't go, and then I walked around here and came. I see a lot of people coming, why didn't I see you when I got off work, I wanted to go around with you. The garden said, taking me by the hand and going in with him.

"I haven't been anywhere? Maybe you are looking for me to be in the financial room, handing over the statements, you don't know, I don't just submit all kinds of forms every day. I replied.

"Hey, really, can you share the work with Liu Fangfang. Let's sit together. The garden said.

"I'm used to it, it's fine. A lot of business is going well, and it's nothing. Yueqing said indifferently.

"It's just that you have a good temper, if it were me, I would have made a fuss a long time ago. But I heard that there seems to be something going on at home that makes them so bad-tempered. The garden gossiped and said.

"What's the matter?" I asked her with a smile.

"Something seems to have happened to her mom when he was a kid." Yuanzi said.

"Oh, it sounds like there's a story. Is it on the ground floor? I asked casually.

"Isn't it? I still listen to the people in our company. On the second floor, let's go up. The garden said.

。。。。。。

The company arranges the place of the dinner in a hot pot restaurant, the restaurant is not small, the first floor is self-service, the second floor and the third floor are private rooms, the first floor has some small table arrangements, and the same style of the same style of the table in a row is neatly arranged. The decoration is magnificent, at least on the surface, with the entire first floor in bright yellow tones and a variety of pendant ornaments hanging above various tables. There are a lot of small lamps on the roof, a large and layered crystal ceiling lamp in the center, and a unified square crystal lamp distributed everywhere, which makes the entire first floor very bright.

The decoration of this restaurant looks very comfortable, and the business is also very good, only to see all kinds of people coming and going in the hall, picking vegetables, delivering food, seasonings, paying, and collecting accounts.

Yueqing and Yuanzi hurriedly went up to the second floor. The second floor is much quieter, because it is all private rooms, and there are few people walking in the corridor. There are multiple service staff standing outside at the door of each box, waiting for guests to order food and other needs at any time. Yuanzi took Yueqing to the box booked by the company, and when she went in, there was no one coming, and everyone greeted each other. There was a very large rectangular table in the very large box, enough to accommodate sixty or seventy people, and Yueqing pulled the garden to find a place to sit at the back.

After waiting for about half an hour, the company's colleagues came one after another, the deputy general manager was accompanied by several department heads, and Chen Yuan was also there. In the middle of the seat for a while, the deputy general manager sat in the host and guest seat.

Then I listened to the deputy general manager and said that everyone was working very hard during this time, the old comrades were responsible for the company's beams, and the new partners were also working very hard. This time, several department heads proposed that everyone come here to relax, everyone let go of eating and drinking, and continue to work hard next week to create more benefits for the company.

Yueqing listened to it almost so much in the back, and was listening in a daze.

"That's a good point." The head of the personnel department, shouted, and then took the lead in applauding. Then after the applause stopped, he continued: "But, Mr. Ren, do you know what day it is?" ”

"What do you mean?" The deputy general manager looked puzzled.

"It's your birthday today, and our departments want to take advantage of today's rest to celebrate for you. You're busy and forgetful. ”

"Oh, do you still mean that?" Vice President Ren said with a smile.

Then the colleagues laughed along.

Then the box door opened, and the waiter came in with a king-size cake, and Vice President Ren looked at it with a happy face: "You really have a heart." ”

"Today is a good day for Mr. Ren, you just want to be happy today." The head of the administrative department said to Mr. Ren, and poured a glass of wine for Vice President Ren as he spoke.

"Okay, let's eat, don't patronize me, everyone should be happy today."

The colleagues applauded, and then waited for the vice president to pick up the dishes, and everyone began to eat.

Yueqing can't drink very much, and after symbolically drinking three small glasses of red wine, she doesn't drink anymore, but the garden is a drinkable one, and she has drunk a lot of glasses, and Yueqing didn't persuade her. Yueqing couldn't eat much, and she wanted to go to the bathroom a little, so she talked to the garden and went out.

------------------------------------------ dividing line

After going to the bathroom, Yueqing took a look at the door of the box, thinking that they might be a long time, and she didn't want to go in and turned out of the restaurant to ventilate.

Yueqing was a little drunk, so she walked along the side of the road, blowing the wind, and relieving hangover. It's getting late at this time, and in early spring, it's still getting dark early. The street lamps illuminate the entire street very brightly, and all kinds of shops are also busy in business, brightly lit and people come and go.

Yueqing walked for a while, and the night breeze blew her up a lot, and she felt a little. Looking up, some of them are a little far away. When she turned her head to look, she just noticed that there was an old man looking at her at the door of a shop selling retro jewelry, and when she saw Yueqing's gaze coming, she didn't withdraw her gaze.

There is a round table on the door of this shop, which looks a little old, and the small stools placed on the four sides of the table are also a little retro, and it is indeed a shop that sells retro jewelry. The old man is also wearing a bit old-fashioned, wearing the kind of cardigan that people of the previous era were good to wear, looking a little thin, and the pants are relatively old-fashioned. The whole dress is like having been washed countless times and worn for a long time, the color is gray, but it is clean and tidy.

Yueqing is a girl's home, unaccompanied. Seeing that the old man did not mean to withdraw his gaze, he was a little frightened, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, pretended not to see him, and walked back.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

After walking for a while, she was almost at the restaurant that the company had booked, and Yueqing could already see the bright yellow light coming from the first floor of the restaurant. Suddenly, I heard a little boy crying, and when I looked up, I saw a little boy wearing a gray and white plaid warm beret, crying and calling for his mother. Dressed very carefully, the whole body is cleaned up and down, about 3 years old, about the same age as his little nephew. Not far from Yueqing, the people around him saw him crying, a few looked at it and didn't care, and most of them ignored it and walked away.

Yueqing saw that it was not far from him, so he took the initiative to walk over, and the little boy saw Yueqing walking over, and hurriedly walked to her, looking a little sticky.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Yueqing bent down and asked him.

"Find Mommy." The little boy cried and said, his little hands rubbing his eyes all the time.

"Where's your mother?" Yueqing then asked.

"Don't know?" The little boy cried.

"Do you know your mother's name?" Yueqing asked patiently.

"Don't know?" The little boy continued to cry.

When Yueqing heard this, it seemed that her mother had been separated, so she quickly called 110 to call the police.

"Hello, this 110, do you have something to report?" Just hit the opposite side and it was through.

"Oh, hello, there's a kid here, who's got lost, a little small." Yueqing said to the other side.

"Where are you?" Asked from the other side.

Yueqing reported the address, and the other side told him that he would let the nearest patrol car rush there, so please wait where you are.

Yueqing hung up the phone, looked at the little boy, and asked him, "Then do you know the phone at home?" Or where do you live? ”

The little boy didn't speak, he kept crying. Yueqing continued: "Then sister, can you help you find the police for help?" ”

The little boy's crying stopped, "Don't let the police arrest me." Then I cried even more.

"No, the police won't arrest you, they only arrest the bad guys." Yueqing wanted to laugh a little. Explained to him.

While they were coaxing, the police car came, parked nearby, and the two policemen got out of the car and looked left and right.

Yueqing hurriedly stood up straight and raised her hand over there to say hello: "This way!" ”

The two policemen trotted all the way up to the standard posture and asked, "Did you call the police?" ”

"Yes, just this kid." Yueqing said with a friendly smile.

When the child saw the police, he hid back in fear, crying and saying, "Don't arrest me." ”

Yueqing squatted down and hurriedly hugged and coaxed him, turning her head to the side and laughing vigorously. The little boy's soft body was cute and playful, and the funny Yueqing couldn't hold back her work.

A policeman was a young man, a little handsome, and said to the little boy funny: "Don't arrest, don't arrest, come and let my uncle hug me." Then he slapped his hands twice.

The little boy was stunned for a moment with a skeptical expression, but still chose to believe him and stretched out two hands.

Yueqing hurriedly stood up and handed the little boy to the police.

The little policeman nodded to Yueqing and left.

------------------------------------------ dividing line

Watching the police car drive away, Yueqing's mood calmed down, and the pressure that the old man gave her just now was washed away by this incident. She ignored the eyes of the people around her and turned to walk in the direction of the restaurant.

Walking to the door of the restaurant, seeing Chen Yuan smoking on the edge of the door, looking not very happy, Yueqing was stunned for a moment, she had never seen her predecessors smoking in the image. Yueqing didn't ask in detail, everyone has their own life, and when she saw that he had already seen it, she stepped forward to say hello.

"Brother Chen, why did you come out?"

"Oh, I drank a little too much, come out and breathe." Chen Yuan looked at her and said.

"Oh." Yueqing replied.

"You're quite loving." Chen Yuan continued.

"Huh?" The moon is strange.

"That little boy is very cute." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Oh, so far away, you just saw it." Yueqing said embarrassedly. "My sister's family has a little nephew, I like it very much, he is about the same age as the little kid just now, and seeing him is like seeing my little nephew. I couldn't help but go up and help. ”

"Hmm." Chen Yuan responded.

There was silence.

"As soon as you mention your sister, your intuition is different, and you will talk more." Chen Yuan then opened the topic.

"Huh? Have it? Yueqing raised her head, she didn't feel it.

"Look, my eyes are lit up." Chen Yuan pointed out.

Yueqing hurriedly looked away embarrassedly. "Maybe when I was a child, my sister took care of me a lot, you also know that my dad left early, and my mom couldn't be busy alone, taking care of the fields, taking care of the family, and taking care of us. Then, my sister may be the eldest, she has been very sensible since she was a child, and she took special care of us during that time. You must know that we were not very old at that time, and my sister was not very old, but at that time, I felt that as long as she was there, the family would not be chaotic. At that time, she used her salary to support our education and living expenses, and I relied on her a little. ”

"Listen to you, you know that your sister is a strong woman." Chen Yuan said.

"She's not a strong woman, she's very gentle." Yueqing disagreed. "I'm going to their house in a while."

After speaking, he asked Chen Yuan again: "Don't you also have a child in your family?" ”

"Yes, there's a little girl, it's very cute." Chen Yuandao.

Yueqing didn't answer, and there was silence again.

The atmosphere was awkward, and at this time there was a commotion on the road, and a woman was asking the people on the side of the road that the child could not be found. The owner of a shop told her what had just happened and pointed to Yueqing. The woman walked over.

"Thank you, just as I was shopping, Tian Tian couldn't find it, I was scared to death." The mother said to Yueqing.

"It's okay, you can call 110 now, or go directly to the police station, and you can find your child." Yueqing said to her.

"Thank you, thank you." Mom thanked her again and turned to go to the police station.

After a while, the roadside quieted down, and everyone walked away, while Chen Yuan and Yueqing were still standing.

"How was your conversation with Wang Bo lately? A few days ago, our daughter-in-law asked me if I was here. Chen Yuan reopened the topic.

"Ah, that's it, I may have been busy in the past two days, I didn't call much, and I was still in touch some time ago." Yueqing replied.

"Alas, this Wang Bo too, you are already working in different cities, and this kid is not diligent, go back and talk about him." Chen Yuan pretended to be angry.

"No, he might be a little busy." Yueqing hurriedly explained.

Chen Yuan looked at her with a smile, then extinguished the cigarette, and then said to Yueqing, "Let's go in." ”

"Okay." Yueqing replied.

The two of them walked in together.

。。。。。。。。。

As soon as I entered the box, I saw that my colleagues were still drinking, the deputy general manager was a little drunk, and several other supervisors were not much better, and a few of them had already fallen asleep on their stomachs.

Liu Fangfang saw Chen Yuan and Yueqing coming in together, and raised her voice to remind everyone: "Yo, what are these two doing when they go out together?" ”

Many people turned their heads to look at them, even the vice president looked at them, and a few colleagues followed suit. Yueqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Fangfang meant. Just as he didn't know how to answer, Chen Yuan spoke first.

Chen Yuan smiled and explained while sitting back in his seat: "Oh, you don't know, just when Yueqing went to be a hero, I just went to watch a play. "I'm sorry to say that Yue Qingzhi.

"Oh, what's going on, tell us about it." A male colleague said with a smile.

Chen Yuan painted the little boy missing, Yueqing coaxed him and then called the police, and finally his mother found something to tell everyone.

As the protagonist, Yueqing sits in the corner, while accepting everyone's gaze, while bowing her head to eat herself, the garden hits her with her elbow next to her, and Yueqing ignores her.

"Yo, there should be a reward for righteousness and bravery." A male colleague coaxed after hearing this. Yueqing didn't answer.

"Yueqing has a good character, and her quality has always been good in all aspects." Vice President Ren also looked at Yueqing and said.

"Nothing." Yueqing glanced at Vice President Ren and answered.

Seeing that Yueqing didn't react much, the colleagues didn't talk about this topic anymore, and each began to eat and drink.

。。。。。。

After the meal, Vice President Ren saw that the time was not early, and everyone had eaten almost, so he made a summary and let everyone disperse, and several supervisors arranged for Vice President Ren to leave, and then everyone went home.

Chen Yuan looked at Yueqing and the garden packing up their things, so he asked her, "Is your house a little far away, or I'll send you." ”

"It's okay, I'll take it back by myself, it's pretty good." Yueqing refused.

"Okay, then you should be careful on the road." Chen Yuan didn't insist, so he said to her.

The colleagues said goodbye to each other and left separately, Yueqing watched the garden get into the car, and then stopped a car to rush home.
