Chapter 262 The Social Gathering Begins
Su Xiaoxiao did not sign up for the social gathering, but took the initiative to take on the responsibility of serving everyone.
The social gathering was held in the department store cafeteria.
The dining table in the cafeteria became a place where men and women could meet each other.
Su Xiaoxiao and several married lesbians acted as waiters, responsible for delivering hot water and melon seeds to the scene.
The social gathering starts at three in the afternoon and lasts until six.
As soon as three o'clock arrived, the single female comrades who participated in the event immediately appeared in the company cafeteria nervously.
The process of the social gathering is as follows: single lesbians can choose a seat at will and place their number plate on the table.
The number plate will contain basic information such as personal name, age, height, etc.
The gay men who come to participate in the social gathering hold their number tags and look for the lesbians they like. If they see someone they like, they can put down their number tags and chat with the lesbians.
If both parties are satisfied, they can exchange number plates and leave contact information with each other.
Zhang Yulan had gotten married a long time ago and did not attend the event. She was a little surprised to see that Su Xiaoxiao did not attend either.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you join in?"
"Not interested."
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. In her opinion, men were never as reliable as money. Compared to getting married early, she still wanted to earn more money first.
In modern times, she has seen many women who, once married, devote most of their energy to their families.
I am so busy taking care of the kids, cooking, and cleaning every day that I hardly have any time for myself.
Not only do she have bad luck, but she also has to contend with a vicious mother-in-law and get angry with her husband who tries to smooth things over, and her life is a mess.
Su Xiaoxiao felt her scalp tingling when she thought about such a life.
Instead of being a complaining wife with an unhappy life after marriage, it is better to be a single aristocrat, work hard to make money and reach the peak of life.
As the saying goes, if you rely on a man, a sow will climb a tree, but it is more reliable to rely on money.
As the two were chatting, they saw Qin Shuang, who also didn't have a license plate, walking towards them.
"Shuangshuang, did you two discuss this? Why didn't you participate? Are you not interested?"
Zhang Yulan couldn't help asking. She was really curious about what was going on in the minds of these two girls. Neither of them was interested in getting married. Could it be that they really wanted to be single for the rest of their lives?
Qin Shuang shook her head: "My family arranged a marriage for me when I was a child."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but hissed, "Child marriage, is such a traditional way of marriage still popular these days?"
Qin Shuang seemed to be a person with advanced ideas. He didn't seem like someone who would succumb to such feudal dregs, so why did he agree to his family's arrangement?
Seeing the two of them staring at her curiously at the same time, Qin Shuang blushed and whispered, "Although we were engaged as children, we get along pretty well..."
It turns out they were childhood sweethearts and fell in love over time, so that's fine.
Su Xiaoxiao gave her a teasing look: "When are we going to eat your wedding candy? But don't forget me and Sister Zhang."
Qin Shuang's cheeks turned even redder when she said that: "Stop joking with me. It's too early to get married."
As he was speaking, he saw Chen Meilan walking towards him.
Seeing the three people, Chen Meilan nodded at them, and finally glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Shuang, saying: "Comrade Su, Comrade Qin, you two will go to the door to act as etiquette."
She looked around and found that these two girls were the best looking among the group of people and stood out from the crowd. It would be best to let them serve as etiquette staff at the door.
Of course, the two of them didn't dare to refuse the task assigned by Director Chen. They immediately stood at attention and saluted Chen Meilan in a formal manner, saying in unison, "We guarantee to complete the task."
Chen Meilan nodded with satisfaction. Just as she was about to leave, Su Xiaoxiao noticed the red license plate hidden in her hand and her eyes widened immediately.
Chen Meilan usually looks like an old cadre and is very experienced and steady in her work. I thought she had been married for a long time, but I didn't expect that she still doesn't have a partner.
She poked Qin Shuang next to her and gestured for her to look at the number plate in Chen Meilan's hand.
The two of them quietly followed Chen Meilan to the last row.
Chen Meilan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she breathed a sigh of relief and put her number plate on the table. As soon as she sat down, she met two pairs of gossipy eyes.
"Twenty-two years old..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the content and read it out loud.
She never imagined that Chen Meilan always combed her hair meticulously and dressed maturely and steadily. She looked like she was almost 30 years old, but she was only 22 years old.
Chen Meilan didn't expect these two people to follow her. An unnatural blush suddenly appeared on her face. She said in a pretentious and majestic manner: "Aren't you going to the door to perform etiquette? Why are you following me?"
Just as he finished speaking with a cold face, he heard Qin Shuang speak in shock: "Director Chen, you are only 22 years old?"
Every woman cares about her age.
Hearing her say this, Chen Meilan's face darkened: "Do I look old?"
"Not really, it's just that your hairstyle and clothes are a bit too..."
It shows your age.
She wore a grey top and pants, and even the rubber band for her hair was black. There wasn't a single bright color on her body. This didn't look like what a girl in her early twenties should wear.
Chen Meilan frowned and glanced at her clothes: "What's wrong with my outfit? My clothes and shoes are all new."
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, Director Chen is really a talented person.
How can you act so old-fashioned at such a young age?
After knowing that she was only three years older than her, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt much closer to her.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the person and said, "Come on, Director Chen, while we still have time, let's take you to change your clothes. It's really not appropriate for you to go on a blind date like this. If you don't know, you might think you're here for an interview."
Chen Meilan still didn't think there was anything wrong with her outfit: "Isn't this outfit of mine pretty good? It's all new..."
"It's not a question of whether it's new or not, but what you're wearing is really too old-fashioned. Even my mom didn't dress like that when she was her age. You're almost as old-fashioned as my grandmother."
Su Xiaoxiao was blunt and to the point.
Chen Meilan's face immediately turned dark: "Su Xiaoxiao! How can you talk to your boss like that? I'm wearing..."
Before he could finish his words, he was dragged past the large mirror in the clothing area by two people.
Three young faces were reflected in the mirror, two full of youthfulness and one serious and old-fashioned.
Chen Meilan looked at what the two people were wearing, then looked at what she was wearing. After a moment of silence, she quietly followed Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Shuang into the clothing area.
Half an hour later, Chen Meilan had a fluffy pigtail, wore an orange floral shirt on the upper body, a skirt of the same color on the lower body, and a khaki tweed coat on the outside, and she looked brand new.
"Look, Director Chen, you're so beautiful, but you have to dress so old-fashioned. It's such a waste of your talent!"
Su Xiaoxiao praised.
This was the first time Chen Meilan had seen herself like this. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror for two seconds, then nervously tugged at her woolen coat. "Is this too flashy?"
"Not at all, it's so beautiful!"
Qin Shuang also praised with a look of amazement.
At this moment, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the door.
