Chapter 12 God-given Fate
◎I decided to change sides. After all, opportunities only come to those who are prepared.◎
The two women in front of him were obviously unmoved, so Ji Nan chose to shut up and stop resisting in vain.
Xiaobai grabbed Yu Qiuya's hand and begged, "Sister Qiuya, please be flexible and try to let our boss get a male guest through the back door. Can we be considered a semi-staff member at least?"
Yu Qiuya pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, this is an internal benefit of our company. There is really nothing we can do."
"How about this," she smiled, "have Ji Nan submit his resume in the next two days. He should be able to catch up with the event."
Xiaobai shook his head. "Forget it. Everyone in your company has to be good at computers. Our boss can only handle cash register with his limited skills."
Ji Nan's mother tongue at the moment was speechless, "Are you ready to resign?"
As soon as the cold words were spoken, the animals and birds flew away.
The Qixi Festival party is scheduled on the evening of the festival, which is a busy weekday.
There are not many people on the streets during the day. In addition to sending flowers, giving a drink to your lover can also be regarded as a standard answer to express friendship.
Ji Nan worked in the store all day, but this was far from enough. The nightlife after get off work was where the challenge really began.
There were more and more couples on the street, and long queues gradually formed in the store. After hearing the sound of the receipt printing machine reminding people to put more paper in, Ji Nan raised his hand impatiently and closed the online takeaway channel.
In fact, this kind of festival is quite normal, and their store should be able to handle it. But in the afternoon, employees from the opposite company came over and said they wanted to reserve 60 cups of decaf coffee for the guests of the evening event, which made them a little overwhelmed.
Ji Nan originally wanted to refuse, but the staff said that they could first meet the needs of customers who come to the store and deliver the coffee before the end of the event, that is, before nine o'clock in the evening. Only then did Ji Nan reluctantly agree.
The Qixi Festival event was held in the activity hall on the 17th floor of the company. Zhong Jiajing arrived slowly at the end of 7 o'clock.
Yu Qiuya had already arrived and was waiting. She pulled the dawdling Zhong Jiajing over and stuffed a playing card into her right hand, saying, "You're the last one to arrive. You can't even choose the male guest."
Zhong Jiajing was not willing to participate in this activity in the first place, but who knew that she was tricked into going there while she was half asleep that day.
What made her most angry was that Yu Qiuya, who had repeatedly said that she would participate with her, said that she was eliminated. If she had not been willing to accompany her, Zhong Jiajing would probably have to beg everyone for a way to get out.
She touched the three of spades on the playing card and said lazily, "I'm not late. After all, I'm the most punctual."
"Okay, you can flatter her no matter what you say." Yu Qiuya smiled and pushed her shoulder, "Okay, it's time, go find your true love."
Guests need to draw a poker card when entering, and boys and girls with the same color and number will automatically form a pair to participate in all events tonight.
In other words, Zhong Jiajing's Mr. Right is currently holding a black 3 of clubs and desperately searching for her late bird.
"That one, the tallest and most handsome one."
Yu Qiuya became anxious when she saw Zhong Jiajing was lost, and finally she couldn't help but ask for help.
Before Zhong Jiajing could ask "How do you know?", a tall boy walked towards her.
"Hello, maybe you are the Three of Spades I'm looking for?" the man asked with a heroic look in his eyes.
He has a sunny and handsome appearance and is definitely a popular type in school.
"Oh, it should be me." Zhong Jiajing said uncertainly.
She took out a playing card to confirm it again, but in her haste, the card flew out mercilessly.
She wanted to bend down to pick it up, but was snatched away by a pair of strong hands.
"Even though it's just a short role-playing game, I have to act well, right?" He handed the cards to her. "My name is Ren Jiang. I'll have to ask you to be my partner today."
"My name is Zhong Jiajing. Maybe you are the one who feels wronged because I am really not good at playing games." Zhong Jiajing smiled and said a little embarrassedly.
She is a complete gaming black hole. From e-sports games to marbles, no matter which master team up with her, the game must be lost.
Ren Jiang laughed sweetly a few times and said, "Don't take it too seriously. It's just entertainment. The most important thing is to have fun."
"Okay, then I'm going to play badly." Zhong Jiajing said jokingly.
Ren Jiang: "What a coincidence, that's exactly what I was thinking."
In order to break the ice between strangers in the first round of the game, the host gave everyone five minutes to get to know each other. After that, five groups of guests will be selected to come on stage to be questioned by the host. The group with the most wrong answers will be punished, and the group with the most correct answers will also be rewarded.
In fact, this is a project that tests memory. The questions asked are nothing more than some basic questions such as the other person's name, hometown, age, zodiac sign, etc.
This was not a difficult task for Zhong Jiajing. As a young person who had just stepped out of school and completed her graduation project, she still retained some of the memorization ability that was engraved in her bones.
The two partners worked in perfect harmony and ultimately won first place with all the correct answers.
The reward was an electronic firework stick. Ren Jiang leaned over slightly to light it for Zhong Jiajing.
The lights in the room were deliberately dimmed a little, and the yellow-white simulated fire light shining on the two people's smooth and beautiful faces was particularly pleasing to the eye. Yu Qiuya took the camera almost to their faces and took several close-ups of the two people.
Everyone in the venue was laughing continuously, and Yu Qiuya was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, typing on her cell phone frantically.
[Xiaobai, why haven't you guys come up yet? I missed all the wonderful scenes!!!]
It took Xiaobai a long time to have time to look at his phone.
"Oh my god, Zhong Jiajing is so beautiful! Look at her next to this handsome guy! It's simply stunning!" Xiaobai deliberately showed his phone to the clerk closest to Ji Nan. "I can't take it anymore. I've decided to switch sides. I'm sure my ex-brother-in-law will understand. After all, opportunities only come to those who are prepared."
This was a hint at Ji Nan, both overtly and covertly. The photo was almost right under his nose, and he had no way to escape except to close his eyes.
The girl in the photo has smiling eyes and a pair of small dimples on her cheeks, she looks pretty and lively.
The boy next to him was also staring at the other person intently, with the hazy firelight and the clear figure reflected in his eyes.
Ji Nan was already a little annoyed by working overtime, and now he felt even more depressed for no reason.
He pushed the phone away, his tone somewhat impatient, "Are all sixty cups of coffee done?"
Xiaobai was frightened by his appearance. She shrank back a step and said in an almost inaudible voice, "There are still fifteen cups left."
Ji Nan looked up at her, the warning in his eyes obvious.
It was so scary that Xiaobai dropped his phone and flew away. "I'm sorry, I'll try my best."
Zhong Jiajing felt that her gaming talent today was terrifyingly high. After three rounds of games, big and small, not only did she not take the lead, she hadn't even seen the shadow of the last one.
But don't be happy too soon, because the curse the witch cast on the princess is not so easy to lift.
The final round is called "50 cents and 1 yuan." The girls are considered 1 yuan and the boys are 50 cents. The group forms a circle and moves clockwise. When the host announces a price, the guests must quickly form a group to match the required amount. Those who successfully form a group advance to the next round, while those who fail are eliminated.
Zhong Jiajing is not too keen on this kind of game, but after all, it is not just about herself, so no matter how unwilling she is, she still actively joins in and tries to attract others.
Ren Jiang seemed to have a sense of mission. No matter how far apart the two were, he would run to her and recruit people to form a team.
He was proactive enough, responsible enough, and charismatic enough that after three rounds of games, both of them remained in the main group.
At this time, most of the partners had only one person left. With their competitive spirit aroused, everyone naturally focused their attention on the two of them. After all, the big head had to be killed first, which was the key to victory.
Zhong Jiajing saw what everyone around her was planning. She leaned over to Ren Jiang and whispered, "As long as one person wins, it's considered a win. Why don't you just leave me, a burden, behind?"
"I can't form the circle in front without you." He muttered.
The music playing in the room was loud enough that Zhong Jiajing couldn't hear what he said clearly. She wanted to ask again but was interrupted by the host announcing a number, so she had to give up.
Everyone was targeting all the teams with Yu You and two others present. Of course, Zhong Jiajing and Ren Jiang, one of them, couldn't form a team no matter how hard they tried.
The two of them wandered around without success when someone from a nearby team suddenly called out, "Come here quickly, we're still short of one fifty-cent."
Zhong Jiajing reacted, nudged Ren Jiang next to her and asked, "Are you going? I'm just short of 50 cents."
Ren Jiang didn't move, and a boy opposite took the opportunity to run towards the arms of the large group.
When the two were eliminated, Ren Jiang tilted his head and asked her, "Will you be angry?"
Zhong Jiajing shook her head and grinned, "You know what? I've already won first place in my gaming career today. This is already pie in the sky. We can't expect too much."
Yu Qiuya blatantly recorded the two of them smiling while hiding in a dark corner.
Xiaobai felt uncomfortable all over when he secretly looked at the phone. The feeling of having good stuff but not being able to share it was like ants crawling on his heart, which made him uncomfortable because he couldn't catch or touch them.
She placed the coffee neatly in the box, then walked up to Ji Nan and said, "Boss, add this cup in your hand and it'll be complete."
Ji Nan nodded, "Well, send it up when it's done."
"Today, only Mini Lion King and you two boys are at work, but Mini Lion King went to the toilet, so we girls should move the coffee..." Xiaobai deliberately left his words unsaid.
Ji Nan said with a forced smile, "Just move it a few more times."
Having said that, Ji Nan still started working as a deliveryman.
But one person was certainly not enough, so Xiaobai volunteered to go together. Ji Nan did not refuse, but found a small cart to load some for her.
When the two arrived at the 17th floor, Zhong Jiajing and Ren Jiang were singing an unknown song on the stage.
In fact, it is very well-known and is a popular square dance song. Ji Nan can recognize it, but the tune of the two people on the stage is too personal, making it difficult for him to comment.
This was the final round of game punishment, and Zhong Jiajing and Ren Jiang drew the male and female duet.
Ji Nan put down his coffee, and the music was just coming to an end, and the cheers from the audience came like a wave.
He turned to leave but was suddenly stopped by the host, "Boss Ji, please don't leave yet. As our non-staff member, please allow us to interview you for a moment."
The host simply wanted to liven up the atmosphere, "Could you please comment on the performance of this handsome man and beautiful woman?"
The microphone was passed to Ji Nan's mouth, and he said lightly: "Very good."
"That's too perfunctory! Just say a few more words!" Everyone started to make a fuss.
Ji Nan stood in a dark corner at the side, looking at Zhong Jiajing under the light. "They both have their own unique soundtracks, which is quite rare. This is the first time I've seen such a magical scene."
To put it simply, they are all out of tune and useless.
The most important skill a host needs is word packaging. "Got it? That means that although our male and female guests come from different places, we are heading to the same destination. This is fate sent by heaven!"
Ji Nan: “…”
