Chapter 246 Going on stage to receive the award
For such an important occasion, he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.
After looking at her again, Chen Meilan sighed, looked away, coughed twice, and spoke.
After briefly explaining the precautions for going on stage to the three of them, she sent the other two away and called Su Xiaoxiao alone.
"Comrade Su, go to the clothing section and pick out a set of clothes. Put it on my account."
Chen Meilan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly spoke. As if afraid she'd misunderstand, she added, "I'm doing this for the sake of our department store's reputation. You should know that not only our department store leaders are here this time, but also the leaders from above. You represent the reputation of our department store."
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head: "Director Chen, you misunderstood, I have my own money..."
She simply got up too late in the morning, put on some clothes and came to work. She didn't even remember that there was a commendation meeting today.
If she knew, she would definitely dress up beautifully to attend.
"Okay, you don't have to be polite to me. I'm doing this for our department store."
Chen Meilan patted her shoulder earnestly, then turned and left.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
What was that look Director Chen had just given her? Pity, sympathy, or even regret?
Chen Meilan seemed to have misunderstood. She was not really that poor. On the contrary, she was very wealthy now.
It seems that I still need to buy two more new sets of clothes in the future.
She went straight to the clothing section and picked out two sets of clothes, and also picked out a set for each person in the family.
She picked out the recently popular flared pants for herself, paired with an orange floral shirt. It was a very bright color, but it made her look youthful with her fair skin.
After thinking about it, she went to the fabric section again, intending to ask for a piece of floral fabric of the same color to use as a headband.
Several sales clerks in the fabric section were already familiar with her. When they heard that she wanted floral fabric, they took out all the scraps of fabric and let her choose. Their attitude was very enthusiastic.
A few minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao appeared at the door of the conference room with a brand new look.
Zhang Yulan was anxiously looking out the door. Seeing her, she froze for a moment, then her eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god, I thought it was some big star. Xiaoxiao, you're so beautiful."
It is true that clothes make the man, and the ragged little girl a few minutes ago has transformed into a fashionable rich lady.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed by her praise: "Sister Zhang, has the commendation meeting started?"
Zhang Yulan slapped her forehead and said, "It's about to start. I was just looking for you. Hurry up, the leaders are here."
She hurriedly pulled people into the meeting room.
The other two salespeople waiting to be recognized were already waiting in the audience.
Su Xiaoxiao hurried over.
As soon as she stood up, she noticed someone's gaze on her. She turned her head curiously and met Song Weidong's eyes filled with surprise.
He sat next to Director Song, his eyes fixed on her, staring at her without blinking, as if he was stunned.
Seeing her looking at him, he touched his nose awkwardly and looked away.
At this time, the young man sitting next to Song Weidong reached out and poked him on the shoulder: "Weidong, do you know the beautiful girl who came to your house?"
Seeing that he was referring to Su Xiaoxiao, Song Weidong frowned: "Why are you asking her?"
Chen Zhigang's eyes lit up: "So we know each other, does she have a boyfriend?"
Chen Zhigang is Song Weidong’s childhood friend. His father is the deputy director of the Municipal Supply Department. He came to join in the fun this time.
Hearing him say this, Song Weidong frowned even more tightly: "What does it have to do with you whether she has a boyfriend or not?"
Chen Zhigang smiled innocently and scratched his head: "I'm just thinking that if I don't have a partner, I'll try to get one. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl."
"You have no chance, don't waste your time."
Song Weidong's voice was a little cold.
After saying that, he added worriedly, "She has a boyfriend, don't worry about it."
"oh."
Chen Zhigang couldn't help but look over there again, feeling a little regretful. He finally met someone he liked, but it turned out that she already had a partner.
At this moment, the commendation meeting officially began. Amid the host's passionate voice, Su Xiaoxiao was the first to step onto the podium.
She usually dresses casually, whatever is comfortable for her, without paying any attention to her image.
This time she dressed up a little, and many men at the scene stared at her and asked her which counter she worked at.
Zhang Guoqing looked at Su Xiaoxiao on the stage in disbelief, and poked Qian Xiaoyan next to him with his finger: "Is Comrade Su really this good-looking?"
Qian Xiaoyan patted her clothes in disdain, not bothering to pay attention to him: "Comrade Su is good-looking, but you ugly guys are not worth her dressing up."
Zhang Guoqing, the ugly one: “…”
As he was speaking, three outstanding salespeople had already come to the stage and lined up in a row according to their ranking.
Su Xiaoxiao stood in the middle, with the second place on the left and the third place on the right.
The host took the microphone and said excitedly, "Please invite Director Song to present the awards to our three outstanding employees."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
Director Song stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the podium.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the female comrade who was acting as etiquette. As expected, she was holding three big red flowers and walking towards them behind Director Song, with a look of despair on her face.
I can only comfort myself in my heart that such an old-fashioned award ceremony is also a feature of this era.
Just as she was thinking about it, Director Song had already walked up to her and presented her with the certificate. At the same time, the female comrade who was acting as the etiquette officer hurriedly tied a big red flower on her.
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This big red flower is really ugly.
But facing so many leaders, she couldn't show it and could only accept it with a smile.
I don’t know who formulated this award ceremony process. After the awards were presented, they were asked to give a separate acceptance speech.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Why didn't anyone tell her in advance about such an important thing? At least she could have been prepared.
Looking at the two people beside her calmly taking out the speeches they had prepared long ago, Su Xiaoxiao was completely clueless.
She always feels that some unscrupulous people want to harm her!
Below the stage, the troublemaker Zhang Dongmei was looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a smug look on her face, a sarcastic smile on her face.
Yesterday, Chen Meilan met her and asked her to remind Su Xiaoxiao to prepare a speech before going on stage. She didn't tell her at all, just wanting to see her make a fool of herself.
Later, she would definitely enjoy watching Su Xiaoxiao panicking on the stage. Wasn't she proud? Let her be proud to her heart's content.
The speeches were given in order from back to front. The first two people finished their speeches quickly, and it was Su Xiaoxiao's turn to go on stage.
