Chapter 170 The Annual Meeting is Coming
…
Wen Shuzhou was away on a business trip for five days, and finally stepped into his home in the evening when the sun was setting. The moment the door closed gently, it seemed to isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving only the warmth and overflowing thoughts in the room.
"It's so hot!" At this moment, Wen Miao was holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea in her hand. The fragrance of the tea curled up, interweaving with the light to create a soft atmosphere.
"A Miao!" The moment Wen Shuzhou called out to the child, his voice was filled with doting.
"Shuzhou," Wen Miao's eyes lit up the moment he saw Wen Shuzhou, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, outlining an extremely gentle smile.
"A Miao, have you missed me these days?" Wen Shuzhou also smiled. That smile was filled with the tiredness of the journey, but more of it was the joy of returning home and the deep longing for the child.
"Are you thirsty? Have some tea!" Wen Miao nodded heavily.
"I miss you, too!" Wen Shuzhou walked quickly forward and took the teacup from the child's hand. He did not drink it immediately, but warmed his palms with it, as if the temperature could dispel all the chillness of the journey.
"Shuzhou, it's great that you're back." Wen Miao's voice was soft and emotional. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched Wen Shuzhou's face with his fingertips, as if to confirm the reality of the matter.
"Woof woof..." Wangwang also came to join in the fun, and rubbed Huihui against Wen Shuzhou's trouser legs.
"Yes, it's great." Wen Shuzhou put down the teacup, pulled the child into his arms, rested his chin on the top of his head, and took a deep breath. That was the smell of home, the peace he had been dreaming of for so many days away from home.
"Shuzhou, you must be tired from flying!" Wen Miao said with a look of concern in his eyes.
"Well, but I won't feel tired if I hold you in my arms!" Wen Shuzhou's tone was a mixture of joking and seriousness.
"In that case, you can hold me for a while longer." Wen Miao let herself snuggle into Wen Shuzhou's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.
For a while, neither of them spoke any more. They just stood there quietly, enjoying the tacit understanding and intimacy that could be deeply understood without words.
"Shuzhou, wash your hands and sit down first. I knew you would be back, so I stewed pork ribs and braised pork in the kitchen. You can eat it soon." After a moment, Wen Miao slowly broke free from Wen Shuzhou's arms and pulled him towards the dining table.
"good."
A few minutes later, Wen Shuzhou's favorite dishes were placed on the table, full of thoughtfulness.
The two of them sat around the table, eating and chatting. Wen Shuzhou recounted the interesting things and experiences he had during his business trip, while Wen Miao nodded and smiled from time to time, occasionally interrupting to share his daily life over the past few days.
The lighting is soft and the food is delicious, but what is even more intoxicating is the warmth and happiness of being together.
After dinner, the two of them snuggled together on the sofa and watched an old movie. The content of the movie might not be important, what was important was the sense of security they felt with each other by their side.
As the night deepened and the movie ended, Wen Shuzhou gently held the child's hand, and the two smiled at each other. Without saying a word, they knew what the other was thinking.
"Rest."
"good."
Wen Shuzhou led the child into the bedroom, where there were their dreams and the future they had woven together.
After lying down, the two talked for a while, and only fell asleep after they had enough tenderness.
...The end of the year is approaching, and one week later, Wen's annual meeting is coming. A feast that brings together Wen's hard work and dreams throughout the year slowly kicked off in the conference center with brilliant lights and gorgeous decorations.
Wen Miao followed Wen Shuzhou to the annual meeting.
As night fell, the stars and neon lights intertwined, making the prosperity of the city even more dazzling. Wen's employees dressed in formal attire walked into the venue in groups of three or five with smiles on their faces. Their conversations and laughter were filled with reviews of the past year and longings for the future.
Inside the venue, the huge crystal chandelier emits a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire space like daylight. The stage design is unique, and the huge LED screen complements the gorgeous lighting effects. From time to time, it plays Wen's brilliant achievements and warm moments in the past year, which sometimes draw thunderous applause and sometimes deep emotion. The lights gradually focus on the center of the stage, and the music slowly rises. It is a warm and inspiring melody. It is like an invisible force that quietly draws everyone closer. The whole venue is immersed in an expectant and solemn atmosphere.
At this time, the host announced in his magnetic voice: "Next, let us welcome our respected president to the stage to give a speech with the warmest applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience that lasted for a long time, as if it was going to blow the roof off, expressing everyone's infinite expectations for the president and the company's future.
Amidst the joy, Wen Shuzhou, dressed in a well-fitting suit and with a gentle but determined smile on his face, walked steadily to the center of the stage.
"Wow, the president is so handsome!" Someone was obsessed with him.
"When did the president stop being handsome?"
"Look extra handsome tonight!"
“That’s right.”
After standing still, Wen Shuzhou's eyes showed both longing for the future and emotion for past achievements. He slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the applause gradually died down, leaving only the concentration and expectation of the audience.
"Dear colleagues, we gather here tonight not only to celebrate our achievements in the past year, but also to look forward to the future and jointly draw a more brilliant blueprint for the company..." Wen Shuzhou's voice was rich and infectious, and every word was clearly heard by every employee and touched their hearts.
His words not only showed his deep gratitude for the efforts and dedication of the company team, but also his calm analysis of market challenges and his grand plan for future development strategies. At the same time, he also skillfully interspersed vivid stories and specific cases to make complex business concepts easy to understand, inspiring everyone's infinite imagination and confidence in the company's future.
Although Wen Shuzhou was stern, when he mentioned that "we are an invincible team. As long as we think and work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome", the entire venue seemed to be united by a strong team spirit, and everyone's eyes were shining with determination.
"A Miao, have you never seen this side of the young master?" Uncle Wang said while eating dessert.
"Well, I've never seen him like this. He is so charming!" Wen Miao curled his lips and looked admiring.
"Did you find a treasure? Huh?" Uncle Wang looked at Wen Miao with a smile.
"Yes, we found a treasure!" Wen Miao admitted generously.
Handsome, rich, and talented, Wen Shuzhou has all of these qualities and is simply the perfect other half.
"..." Yan Feng, who was standing aside, listened to their conversation and curled his lips slightly.
After Wen Shuzhou finished his speech, the company's senior leaders, dressed in formal attire and with smiles of pride and expectation on their faces, walked onto the stage one by one to deliver their speeches.
As the party progressed, various exciting programs were performed one after another. There were dynamic modern dances that showed the vitality and passion of young employees; there were soulful songs that expressed their love and gratitude for the company; there were also humorous skits that made the audience laugh continuously and the atmosphere reached the climax. The lucky draws in between made people's hearts beat faster. The carefully prepared prizes not only represented the company's care for employees, but also expressed good wishes for the new year.
At dinner time, the exquisite tableware shone silvery under the lights, the aroma of various delicacies filled the air, and the employees toasted to celebrate and talked about the future. Tonight, whether it was colleagues who were usually busy at their respective posts or senior leaders who were rarely seen on weekdays, they all integrated into this warm and joyful big family, and the distance between them was infinitely shortened.
"A Miao." When Wen Shuzhou stepped out of the crowd, he immediately saw the child walking through the food.
"Shuzhou, come on, eat this, it's delicious!" Seeing Wen Shuzhou coming over, Wen Miao stuffed a piece of snack directly into his mouth.
"It tastes really good." Wen Shuzhou nodded.
"Ah Miao, do you have any other recommendations?"
"Yes, this steak..."
"good."
…It was late at night, and the annual meeting gradually came to an end amid laughter and joy. However, the team’s cohesion, infinite vision for the future, and the memory of the common struggle in the past year, like the bright lights in this feast, shone in everyone’s heart for a long time, inspiring everyone to continue to move forward hand in hand in the new year and create brilliance together.
…
In the bedroom, moonlight shines through the half-closed curtains, sprinkling on the quilt. Everything seems exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional sound of the night wind coming from afar, as if whispering unknown secrets.
Wen Shuzhou was half lying on the bed, with a look of helplessness and affection in his eyes. He held a cup of warm water tightly in his hand, and from time to time he looked at the child lying next to him and fed him water.
Wen Miao was drunk, her cheeks were lightly flushed, her long eyelashes were slightly closed, her breathing was even and slightly rapid, and she would occasionally utter a few unclear mumblings in her sleep, as if she was immersed in a sweet dream.
"A Miao, there's really nothing I can do with you!" Wen Shuzhou put the cup of water on the bedside table, stood up, carefully took out a thin blanket from the cabinet, and gently covered the child with it, fearing that he would disturb his sweet dream.
"Go to sleep, A Miao, good night, you cute ghost!"
As Wen Shuzhou spoke, he moved closer to his child and looked closely at his sleeping face. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his eyes were full of tenderness and love.
He sighed, feeling both amused and distressed. Thinking back to what happened tonight, the kid drank a few more glasses because he was happy, and ended up like this. He was adorable but also worrying.
After all the trouble, the outside world seemed to have fallen asleep. Only in the bedroom, love flowed silently, warming each other's hearts.
On this unusual night, there were no flowery words, no deliberate romance, only the purest and most sincere companionship between the two of them.
