The next day, when the east just dawned, Lan Xinrui still came to the company as usual, and when she passed by Vice President Xie's office, she found that the lights were still on inside. So, she walked over lightly and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, the door squeaked open, and Xie Lei stretched out his unkempt head, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his face was as scary as a dead man.

Lan Xinrui was startled at first, and then smiled: "Vice President Xie, come so early." ”

Xie Lei nodded slightly: "You are not." ”

"I'm used to it, and I can't sleep at the end of the day."

"Me too."

"You just arrived, and you have a process of adapting to rural life."

"Is there a difference between urban and rural sleep? In Shanghai, I am used to going to bed early and waking up early, and I am still used to lao when I get here. ”

Lan Xinrui didn't care about the meaning of Xie Lei's words, paused, and asked, "Can I come in?" ”

"Something?"

"Hmm!"

"I'm sorry, I have a bad habit, I don't like to be disturbed by others in my leisure, so I will ask Mr. Lan to go to work if I have something!" Xie Lei's tone was very hard and cold, and he closed the door after speaking.

Lan Xinrui was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and turned around and walked towards her office. When I arrived at the door of the office, I was met by Conway.

Kangwei was sleepy-eyed and raised his hand to greet: "Mr. Lan, good morning!" ”

Lan Xinrui pursed her lips at Conway and replied, "Good morning, Director Kang!" As he spoke, he half-pushed open the office door, turned in, and gently closed the door.

Kangwei walked a few steps, felt that something was wrong, looked back, entered Xie Lei's office, and asked, "Mr. Lan was looking for you just now?" ”

Xie Lei stretched his waist and said lazily: "Yes! I don't know what's going on, so I'll call her to work. ”

Conway was a little annoyed: "You've gone too far. ”

Xie Lei asked rhetorically: "Why am I going too far?" ”

"Do you know who she is?"

"Mr. Lan! Why, you don't know her? ”

Kangwei was extremely angry: "She is by no means the simple Mr. Lan you imagined, do you know what all the people of Peach Blossom call her?" Living Bodhisattvas, fairies, party and government leaders of Tucheng County, and my boss, Mr. Ouyang Sheng, all praised her and respected her very much. ”

Xie Lei was disdainful: "Oh, that's just their opinion of her, it doesn't represent me." I didn't realize how great she was, she looked like a weird village girl in my eyes. ”

Kangwei was so angry that he sat on the sofa: "Xie Lei, you are too tall and arrogant!" You can't stay in Peach Blossom like this. ”

Xie Lei sneered: "She can drive me away with a Lan Xinrui?" Besides, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, what am I afraid of. ”

"You, you're incredible!" Conway commanded, leaned his head on the sofa, gasping for air.

Xie Lei buried her head in her business as if nothing happened, and after a while she stood up, made a cup of tea, and handed it to Conway. Conway didn't answer, so she laughed with her, and said in a somewhat angry tone: "Can you be so angry?" I also heard that she is not a simple woman, kind, loving, brainy, and capable, but I heard that after all, I heard that what I want is seeing is believing, you know that I never accept hearsay, I only trust my own eyes. If she's the kind of person you say she is, I'll fall under her pomegranate skirt sooner or later. However, I put the ugly words ahead, if she Lan Xinrui is a mediocre person, then I will never give in to her. ”

Conway sighed: "I know that you have a stubborn personality and do not accept weakness. Let's tell you the truth! You can be the vice president of the company this time, and the director of the service station, it is completely hand-picked by her, otherwise there are not a few talents like you, and there are not a few people in the company. Who can't use it, why did I use you, it's okay if you are not grateful, and you still treat each other coldly, with no one in your eyes, it's incredible. ”

"Why did you go there earlier, and only now tell me this. Am I the kind of person who is ungrateful? Xie Lei blamed Conway.

"It's not too late to tell you now, Mr. Lan is not the kind of person with a small belly, she has a huge heart that can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and compassion can move the heavens."

"It looks like you've been completely captured and naked by her."

"Yes, I'll tell you the truth, I was the same as you at first, I didn't take her seriously, I always thought that this countryman was not qualified to live a life, how could he be a leader. But when you get to know her and get close to her, you will be conquered by her love, kindness, generosity and style of doing things, and once you are conquered by her, it will be difficult for you to get rid of her admiration, trust and follow. I'm sure sooner or later you, too, will be captured by her and become her loyal subordinate. ”

Xie Lei raised his head and said coldly: "I hope so!" ”

At this time, Li Yinjiao's delicate voice came from outside the door: "Vice President Xie, Director Kang, Mr. Lan is waiting for you in the Lotus Hall, please go immediately." ”

Xie Lei opened the door halfway and stuck out his head: "Yinjiao, what's the matter?" ”

Li Yinjiao said: "Go and know!" ”

Xie Lei looked back at Conway, and Conway nodded at her: "It's hard to be gracious, let's go!" ”

When Xie Lei and Kangwei walked into the simple and elegant Lotus Hall, the scene in front of them made the two of them dumbfounded. I saw that on the huge garden table in the center of the hall, dozens of candles flashed with a dim light, and a large group of people held flowers in their hands, singing and wishing you a happy birthday. Walking in the front, singing the loudest, and laughing the sweetest is Lan Xinrui.

It turned out that although Kangwei was three years older than Xie Lei, the two were born except for different years, the month, day, and hour were exactly the same, and they were both born on the second day of the first month, that is, although the two were not of the same age, they had the same birthday. Lan Xinrui came to the company early in the morning to organize this birthday party for them. Peach blossom people's birthdays are in the morning, saying that they have an early birthday and an early career.

Lan Xinrui broke the flowers in her hand into two parts, one for Xie Lei and one for Conway, and sincerely sent a blessing: "I wish you a happy birthday!" Immediately, more than a dozen people presented flowers together, and sent congratulations in unison: "I wish Vice President Xie and Director Kang a happy birthday, an early marriage, and an early birth of a noble son!" ”

Xie Lei turned from surprise to joy, and two smiles slowly squeezed out of the white and red melon seeds. She held a large bundle of flowers in both hands and looked at Lan Xinrui: "Thank you, Mr. Lan, I forgot that today is my birthday and Conway's birthday." ”

Lan Xinrui smiled: "You only know how to remember your birthday at work all day long." ”

"Aren't you also busy, why are you still thinking about my birthday and Conway?"

"Because that's my job, too."

Xie Lei was hot and cold: "It seems that your work is meticulous enough, and you even regard other people's private affairs as work." ”

Kang Wei glared at Xie Lei and pushed her away: "Mr. Lan, thank you, you moved me so much." I've lived for more than 20 years, and even my parents have never given me a birthday in such a grand way, and today is the first time. ”

"Really?" Lan Xinrui turned sideways and pointed to the big round table with her right hand: "Two birthday stars, please!" ”

Kangwei and Xie Lei glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then walked hand in arm, shoulder to shoulder, to the large round table. On the round table are two plates of birthday cakes shaped like small hills, with 28 and 25 candles on them, respectively, representing their ages.

Everyone stood around the table, their eyes on Conway and Xie Lei. Everything was ready to stop, and Lan Xinrui announced: "Director Kang and Vice President Xie's birthday banquet starts now. The first item: playing music and firing cannons. ”

The beautiful melody of "Happy Birthday" suddenly sounded in the hall, and the sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside the hall. In the sound of music, Xie Lei's palms were facing each other, praying silently, Conway touched her with his elbow and asked softly, "What do you want?" Xie Lei approached him and said quietly and playfully: "Get married!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

The music stopped, and Lan Xinrui continued: "The second item of the banquet: birthday greetings. Li Yinjiao, the representative of the company, was invited to present congratulatory gift boxes to Director Kang and Vice President Xie respectively. ”

Li Yinjiao opened her legs, held two scarlet letter boxes, walked in front of Kang Wei and Xie Lei, bowed to the two first, and then solemnly handed over the letter box: "This is a congratulatory message from Mr. Lan on behalf of the company to the two birthday stars, and the congratulatory message was inscribed by Mr. Lan himself." ”

Xie Lei took it and wanted to take it apart. Conway squeezed her hand and whispered: "Go back and look again, it's rude to open the face, this is the rule of peach blossoms." ”

Li Yinjiao glanced at Xie Lei: "Vice President Xie, I will send you and Director Kang another congratulatory message, I hope you can have a 'third party involved' before your next birthday." ”

"Ahh The eyes of everyone on the field widened.

Li Yinjiao knew that everyone had misunderstood her, so she unhurriedly took out a small and delicate male cloth baby from her pocket and inserted it between Kangwei and Xie Lei's arms: "The third party intervenes." ”

"Ah, is it a little man or a little baby?" Someone on the field joked.

"Of course, it is a little baby, and it is the crystallization of the intimate love between Vice President Xie and Director Kang."

Xie Lei glanced at Kangwei, his face turned crimson, and then chased after Li Yinjiao: "You girl, make me happy!" ”

The field erupted in squeaky laughter.

Lan Xinrui smiled the most: "Okay, don't make trouble." Now for the third item of the feast: blow out the candlelight, and from then on life will be infinitely glorious. ”

Kang Wei came first, only to see him half-squatting, taking a breath, opening his mouth sharply, a stream of air gushed out, and the twenty-eight flames were extinguished in a few flashes. Next it was Xie Lei's turn, I saw her imitate Kangwei's posture, blowing out in one breath, the twenty-five flames did not move, she took another breath, blew hard, and the five flames struggled for a while and then extinguished.

Conway cheered: "Work harder, four more typhoons, and the remaining fires will definitely be extinguished." ”

"Where's the typhoon?" Xie Lei asked.

Conway patted her on the back of his hand on the abdomen and quipped, "That's it, the Pacific Ocean, the birthplace of typhoons." ”

Xie Lei aimed at Kangwei's abdomen and punched: "You are the Pacific Ocean!" ”

"If you can't kill it, I'll call '119'!"

"Get out of the way."

Xie Lei stopped skimming, opened her O-shaped mouth, spit, and spit out all the remaining twenty flames, and then she sat on the stool with a red face and a thick neck.

The hall, which was already full of laughter, burst into crackling applause at this moment, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was very warm.

Lan Xinrui pressed down with her hands: "Please be quiet, let's go to the last item of the birthday banquet: eat cake, and from now on, the couple's day will be high." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Lihong and Li Yinjiao respectively held a small plate of lifelike dragon and phoenix cakes and presented them to Conway and Xie Lei.

Kangwei and Xie Lei had never seen such a superb food, and after the two of them took the dragon and phoenix cake, they were so excited that they only looked at it stupidly.

Li Yinjiao teased: "This dragon and phoenix cake is for eating, not for looking, if you don't eat it quickly, they will fly like wings in a while!" ”

Bai Lihong explained: "The dragon and phoenix cake is only suitable for couples born on the same day and month, and our peach blossom has a saying, 'eat dragon eggs and eat phoenix cakes, give birth to a dragon baby that year, and the phoenix will report for duty in the coming year', which means that after eating the dragon and phoenix cake, the dragon and phoenix dance in this life, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the husband and wife are in love, and the children are full." ”

After Kangwei and Xie Lei finished eating the dragon and phoenix cake, Lan Xinrui beckoned everyone to eat two large plates of cakes. Just when everyone was eating with interest, I don't know which trickster smeared a layer of cream on Li Yinjiao's fair face, Li Yinjiao was like a flower face in Peking Opera, screaming and grabbing a handful of cream and rubbing it on people's faces like crazy, and people screamed and ran out of the hall like a plague god.
