Chapter 48 New Year's Eve
[The boss has recognized me!] Sheng Baili was very touched, [I have made some progress.]
[Fortunately, they didn’t see the times you made mistakes.] Haicha said.
Sheng Baili: [You are nervous. I usually don’t make mistakes. There are no spectators during practice TT]
After the show, Sheng Baili ate for a while downstairs.
Soon it was time for the much-anticipated lucky draw.
[Bai Liya: Xiaochi, the annual meeting lottery has started, how do you draw?]
[Not late: I forgot about this, luckily you reminded me, then please Secretary Sheng help me draw it. ]
【Bai Liya: [ok]】
Colleagues went up one after another. The lucky ones won new mobile phones and motorcycles, while the less lucky ones won skin care products, furniture and other prizes worth a few hundred yuan.
Sheng Baili blinked and looked at the girl who won the motorcycle with great envy.
She also wants to draw a motorcycle!
When it was time to fill the cup with white liquor, she prayed devoutly in her heart for a second and drew one for herself first.
"Congratulations to Secretary Sheng for winning the fifth prize, a box of apples!" the host's high-spirited voice rang out.
Sheng Baili: “…”
The smile suddenly froze.
Transferred to the continental face.
[Why is this host so loud? I thought I won a big prize.]
[I got the worst prize, haha, why did I set up a box of apples, a box of instant noodles is better than apples.]
[It's so bad. I have to help Xiaochi. If I bring two boxes of apples back to the office, I will immediately change my name to AAA Apple Wholesaler.]
"Our Assistant Chi is not here, Secretary Sheng, please draw a prize for him!" The host explained the situation, and someone in the audience started to make a fuss again.
Sheng Baili exhaled a deep breath of bad air.
He reached into the lottery box again.
The note slowly opened.
"Congratulations to Secretary Sheng... Secretary Sheng for helping Assistant Chi win the super prize!" The host shouted out the name of the grand prize in an excited voice.
“One month paid vacation!!”
“Wow!!”
The crowd was very supportive and exclaimed in envy.
Sheng Baili: ""
Why are her hands black and white at times?
"Congratulations to Assistant Chi Daochi for winning the super prize. Let us thank Secretary Sheng who drew the prize on his behalf!" the host said to liven up the atmosphere.
There was another burst of “Wow” from below.
Sheng Baili walked down the stage with heavy yet relaxed steps.
Good news, I won the big prize.
Bad news, not hers.
Sheng Baili told Xiaochi about this.
【Not late: Hahaha, no wonder people kept sending me “congratulations” messages just now. 】
【Not late: Thank you, Secretary Sheng, you are so lucky. 】
[Not late: By the way, Secretary Sheng, what big prize did you win?]
【Bai Liya: I won a box of apples. 】
Xiaochi, who is thousands of miles away: "......"
【Not too late: Apples, apples are good, healthy, delicious, and juicy. 】
【Don't be late: an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.】
【Not late: This shows that apples are rich in nutritional value. 】
【Bai Liya: 0.0 Good! 】
[Not late: Of course, if you don’t want it, you can exchange it with me. ]
【Not late: [grin]】
Sheng Baili's eyes widened instantly when he saw this sentence.
Assistant Chi is the living Bodhisattva of our time!
[Bai Liya: No, no, I just want to eat apples. I love apples! ]
【Not late: [transfer 6666 yuan]】
【Not late: Thank you for the fee, thank you Secretary Sheng for helping me win the grand prize. 】
【Not late: Happy New Year. 】
【Bai Liya: Happy New Year! 】
【Bai Liya: [Payment received]】
The smile returned to Sheng Baili's face again.
Sheng Baili returned to his seat holding a box of red apples.
"Boss, would you like one?" Sheng Baili handed him one.
"......Eat." Lu Zhouyan said.
The first thing he did after getting the prize was to share it with the boss. It seems that this secretary knows a bit about the ways of the world.
Although he didn't want to eat it, what he was eating was not the apple, but the secretary's kindness.
Just try it reluctantly.
Lu Zhouyan took one...two apples.
Lu Zhouyan: “?”
"That's great if you want to eat some. Please peel one for me as well. Thank you, boss." Sheng Baili happily stuffed two apples into his hands.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
What a thoughtful gesture! It’s too early to eat.
Five minutes later, the president and his secretary took two peeled apples and started chewing them.
[Wow, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, from TreeTree.] The sweet aroma of apples lingered in his mouth, and Sheng Baili suddenly changed his mind.
[It smells really good again, host. Just now you said it was not as good as instant noodles. 】
Halfway through, an outstanding employee came to talk to Lu Zhouyan, and when he saw the two of them eating apples, he was stunned for a while.
There are so many delicious foods at the banquet, why do we eat apples?
"Manager Zhang, do you want to eat too?" Sheng Baili saw the other party's eyes lingering on the apples, thinking that he wanted to eat too, so he generously handed him two.
"I give it to you. Happy New Year."
Manager Zhang: "...Thank you, thank you Secretary Sheng, and Secretary Sheng also wish you a happy new year."
Lu Zhouyan and Manager Zhang started talking.
Sheng Baili finished eating the apple in a few bites, and saw the prize motorcycle appear outside the door. He went out to watch enviously.
"Wow, what a cool car."
"You need a license to drive a motorcycle, Jiang Jiang, have you passed the test?"
"But I feel like the electric donkey is more suitable for girls, and the motorcycle is so cool."
"It's okay. It's expensive. If you don't like it, you can sell it."
......
The person who won the prize was a girl named Jiang Jiang.
"I just happen to have a motorcycle license, and I really like this bike!" said Jiang Jiang.
"So beautiful!" Sheng Baili also said, "So cool."
The sound was not loud, drowned out by the chattering of people.
But Jiang Jiang immediately caught her voice, and raised his head excitedly, as if he had been paying attention to Sheng Baili for a long time.
"Does Secretary Sheng also like motorcycles?"
The chicken pecked at the rice and nodded.
"Wow, that's great." Jiang Jiang smiled happily, feeling like she had found a confidant.
"The song you sang just now was really nice, it was amazing!" Jiang Jiang praised her.
Sheng Baili: QwQ
Being praised by girls.
"Would you like to take a ride? I'll give you a ride." Jiang Jiang enthusiastically invited Sheng Baili.
Sheng Baili: “!”
"Okay, okay."
As soon as Lu Zhouyan walked out of the door, he saw the secretary excitedly getting on a girl's motorcycle.
They both looked very happy.
In full view of the public.
Jiang Jiang shouted: "Are you ready?"
"Ready!" Sheng Baili shouted back.
"Then let's go." Jiang Jiang said, then started the motorcycle and rushed straight out.
As expected of a certified person, his technique seems skilled and at ease.
At first glance, Jiang Jiang is a reliable, serious and careful girl.
"Bang--"
The motorcycle crashed into the flower bed, overturned, and Sheng Baili and Jiang Jiang fell to the ground on the lawn and rolled over.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Secretary Sheng climbed up bravely in his ghillie suit.
Looking back, everyone was looking at them with shocked and astonished eyes.
Someone has his cell phone to his ear and appears to be calling 120.
nonono!
Sheng Baili tapped the ground with his toes.
[Cha, I want to start a new life, quickly activate the card and go back three minutes! ]
[OK, received the instruction, the card is being activated. ]
[Sizzle—]
The leg that Lu Zhouyan had just rushed out was pulled back by an irresistible force.
From a super fast runner who started running immediately to a background board lazily leaning against the wall.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
Cheating again.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Baili returned to his clean and respectable state and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
"Are you ready?" Jiang Jiang shouted again.
Sheng Baili: ".......Wait."
After Sheng Baili figured out how to brake, he closed his eyes as if ready to die.
"I'm ready."
"Let's go!"
The motorcycle rushed out straight ahead, making a deafening roar.
Sheng Baili silently counted the numbers in his heart.
Right now!
Sheng Baili immediately opened his eyes and stretched his arms forward nimbly.
I quickly pressed the brakes and stopped the car a second before the accident happened!
This caused a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Oh my god, if it was a little later, it would have hit the flowerbed. How scary."
"Secretary Sheng's ability to predict is so strong, and his reaction speed is so fast. He is worthy of being someone who works with President Lu."
"Yeah, that was so cool! Secretary Sheng is cooler than the car."
"Awesome! I'm so shocked that I'm speechless."
"That's amazing! Our Secretary Sheng can sing and drive. Is there anything she can't do?"
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
To act cool, you have to cheat. You can't do it yourself.
Jiang Jiang drove the car back with lingering fear, got out of the car and hugged Sheng Baili.
"Secretary Sheng, you are truly my savior!"
Sheng Baili: 0.0?
Amid the crowd's praise, Secretary Sheng smiled modestly and gave everyone an apple, bringing the annual meeting to a perfect end.
Sheng Baili looked at the time. It was almost 12 o'clock. She still wanted to hurry back to school so that she could save some hotel money.
But there were too many people on the streets on New Year's Eve, and it was very difficult to get a taxi.
“Beep—”
A car horn blew from the rear.
Sheng Baili turned around and happened to meet Lu Zhouyan's eyes as he rolled down the car window.
"Get in the car."
"Thank you, boss!!"
Sheng Baili got on the car happily, "I'm going to S University."
The black car moved slowly on the congested road.
From time to time, the sound of fireworks exploding could be heard in the sky, in all kinds of colors, gorgeous and grand.
Sheng Baili sat in the passenger seat, his eyes filled with colorful scenes.
The car was very quiet and there was no music playing.
This reminded Sheng Baili of the first snow he heard when he was on the bus last time.
She hummed a few words.
Then he turned around and asked Lu Zhouyan: "Last time when we were riding in the car, you were also listening to this song, can you sing it?"
Lu Zhouyan: “…No.”
"Oh." Sheng Baili looked regretful, "I haven't heard you sing yet."
"Mr. Lu, can you sing?"
The car stopped at the red light.
Lu Zhouyan tapped the steering wheel casually with his hand.
"No." Lu Zhouyan said.
"How come you don't know anything?" Sheng Baili was disappointed.
"......"
These two questions seem to be the same.
The red light ended and the car continued to move forward.
Sheng Baili glanced at the time.
The traffic jam lasted too long and we couldn't get back.
"Boss," Sheng Baili said, "It's too late. Just drop me off at the Liyun Hotel on Fangshui Street. I'll give you directions."
"OK."
At 11:50, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
Sheng Baili got off the car holding a box of apples.
"Bye, Mr. Lu!" Sheng Baili waved with a smile.
Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”
After entering the hotel, Sheng Baili found his room number and pushed the door open.
Tired after playing all night, Sheng Baili lay on the big bed for a while and then got up to take a shower.
I have taken off most of my clothes.
Sheng Baili couldn't help but admire himself standing in front of the mirror.
Look left and right.
I am satisfied everywhere.
“——”
Sheng Baili touched his empty neck and was stunned.
Where is her necklace?
Sheng Baili immediately left the bathroom and looked around the bed, but couldn't find it anywhere.
She stood in the heated bathroom, reminiscing a little dazedly.
[Maybe it fell outside.] Haicha said.
[Host, don't you have one more teleportation card that you didn't use? Just use the card to teleport the necklace back.]
"That's right!" Sheng Baili slapped his head.
【Use the "Send Card" to send my necklace back. 】
【The card is being activated, please wait. 】
Lu Zhouyan had just finished making a phone call while standing outside the car. When he returned to the driver's seat, he caught a glimpse of a bunch of silver objects sitting next to him.
It's a necklace.
Lu Zhouyan took the necklace and was about to send a message to Secretary Sheng.
[Sizzle—]
The message was not sent.
The next second, Lu Zhouyan appeared in the hotel room with the necklace.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
What are you doing.
Lu Zhouyan glanced around the room. It was a small, frosted bathroom with a slender figure visible through it.
He breathed a sigh of relief, gently placed the necklace in his hand on the cabinet, and walked out of the room calmly without making any sound and without attracting the attention of the secretary.
Very good, just leave quietly like you had never been here.
Luzhou Yanzhen remained calm and composed.
"Bang--"
When the door closed, it made a loud noise.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
What a breach.
Sheng Baili was in the bathroom when she suddenly heard the door close and was frightened to death.
Sheng Baili subconsciously opened his mouth and swore a few words in C language, then flew to lock the bathroom door.
"What happened? Did I hear it right? Someone just closed my door?" Sheng Baili asked in horror.
"It's not any other door, it seems to be my door." Sheng Baili recalled the sound of the door closing so close to his ears, and became more certain.
She hid in the bathroom, holding her breath and listening attentively to the noise outside.
I heard nothing.
Is it someone coming in or leaving?
Sheng Baili's hands were covered with cold sweat. She forced herself to calm down and swallowed her saliva.
The bathroom and toilet are integrated, and the frosted glass allows you to see the vague outline of the outside.
Sheng Baili looked around quickly but didn't find anything wrong.
No one was seen.
Sheng Baili didn't bring his cell phone with him, so he had no way to ask for help.
After waiting for a few minutes, Sheng Baichuang still didn't notice anything unusual, so he bravely walked out.
There is indeed no one outside.
Sheng Baili was worried and checked all places where people could hide.
Wardrobe, under the bed, curtains...
There's really no one.
Sheng Baili held his cell phone tightly in his hand. He still felt creepy when he recalled the sound of the door closing.
"Hello......"
Lu Zhouyan received a call from Sheng Baili downstairs. On the other end of the phone, the secretary's voice trembled slightly when she opened her mouth.
"Boss." Sheng Baili called him.
Lu Zhouyan unconsciously turned the car key in his hand and lowered his voice, "What's wrong?"
"Just now I was in the bathroom getting ready to take a shower when I heard a loud door slam." Sheng Baili said nervously, "But I looked around and there was no one there. What's going on? Am I being watched?"
Lu Zhouyan was silent for two seconds, not knowing how to answer.
"Should I call the police?" Sheng Baili said, "or check the surveillance?"
"Or maybe I was really hallucinating."
Sheng Baili walked around the room and suddenly saw a familiar necklace on the cabinet.
Her necklace is back.
[It must have been sent back using the teleportation card.] Haicha said.
【But I don’t know what the door closing sound is about. 】
Although we stayed in a hotel, the price was cheap, the staff were a mixed bunch, and the management was not very attentive.
It was getting late and she didn't want to bother with it anymore.
Sheng Baili grabbed the necklace and put the phone to his ear, "Boss, are you still downstairs?"
"Yes." Lu Zhouyan said, "I'll come up to pick you up, don't be afraid."
"Okay!" Sheng Baili nodded subconsciously.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Without cat eyes, Sheng Baili couldn't see what was happening outside.
"It's me." Lu Zhouyan's voice came through the crack in the door.
Sheng Baili opened the door, and the moment he saw Lu Zhouyan, he felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.
"Let's go." Sheng Baili followed Lu Zhouyan closely, carrying half a box of apples.
Suddenly, her grip loosened.
Lu Zhouyan took the box of apples.
"......Thank you, boss." Sheng Baili said.
The moment I walked out of the hotel, the clock struck 12.
“Boom—”
The bells rang rhythmically above the city, bidding farewell to the past 12 months and ushering in the new year.
In the distance came the loud cheers, leaps and shouts of the crowd, accompanied by fireworks blooming in the sky. This was the carnival of New Year's Eve.
Sheng Baili looked up in surprise, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright.
She pointed at the fireworks in the sky.
"Lu Zhouyan." Sheng Baili curled his eyes, "Happy New Year!"
