Chapter 59
Lian Yijian's force was too great, and due to the reaction of the force, Liu Qingqing lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
The moment she fell to the ground, her wails echoed throughout the entire conference room. Liu Qingqing no longer cared about her image at all, she cried and rolled over, her mouth not stopping, cursing wildly: "Xia Zhongqin, you fucking cutie, you..."
Lian Yijian's expression was extremely grim. He immediately interrupted Liu Qingqing's unbearable words, "Liu Qingqing, it's me who dislikes you, not Xia Zhongqin. If you have any complaints, you should look for me, not her. Xia Zhongqin is someone I care about. If you dare to target her again, you've crossed the company's red line. The HR Director at headquarters is still investigating."
As Lian Yijian uttered the last word "de", Liu Qingqing, who had been throwing a tantrum just now, suddenly quieted down. She only looked with a pair of frightened eyes at someone who was looking down at her with a pair of cold eyes. She thought that she had done that thing very secretly and there was no way that anyone else in Southern Jiangsu would know about it.
After saying what he needed to say, Lian Yijian was ready to hug Xia Zhongqin and go out together. When he received Xia Zhongqin's uncomfortable look, he understood what she meant. They smiled at each other, and then he let go of her hand.
Lian Yijian walked in front, Xia Zhongqin and Ji Yue followed behind, and the three of them left the meeting room one after another.
Lian Yijian returned to the small conference room, where Yao Xiang, the implementation director of Nantong District, was still waiting.
When Xia Zhongqin and Ji Yue came out, the office area of the delivery department was empty. They had not brought their computers with them when they came back for the H1 sprint meeting, and there was nothing to clean up at their workstations. After leaving the meeting room, they left the company directly.
When they were about to reach the Xinghu Street subway station, Ji Yue's cell phone rang. It was Zhang Xiaoshan calling. Ji Yue answered the call while holding Xia Zhongqin's arm and continued walking forward.
Two minutes later, Ji Yue hung up the phone, and they just happened to walk to the Xinghu Street subway station.
As Ji Yue stopped, Xia Zhongqin also stopped.
"Sister, Shan said he just arrived and is now in the B3 parking lot of Zhonghai Fortune. How about we take his car over there together?"
Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan were currently in a passionate relationship and were spending every day together. Xia Zhongqin didn't want to be a third wheel, and taking the subway was convenient, so she replied, "Hey girl, it's okay. I'll take the subway and we'll meet at the hotel later."
Ji Yue didn't say anything else, and the two parted ways at the Xinghu Street subway entrance.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Xia Zhongqin took the subway and arrived at Yueliangwan Metro Station.
After exiting the Yueliangwan subway station, she followed the navigation and found the Water Paradise Hotel in less than ten minutes. After explaining her purpose at the front desk of the hotel lobby, a waiter quickly came over and took her to the Lion Garden Hall on the second floor.
There were ten tables set up in the Lion Garden Hall, and quite a few people had already arrived.
Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan had already arrived and sat together at the fifth table.
When Ji Yue saw Xia Zhongqin coming in, she stood up to greet her. When she got closer, she said, "Sister, your seat is at the third table, the same arrangement as the one at Xietong Zhongfa."
The third table was close to the stage, and was separated from the fifth table where Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan were located by the fourth table.
Ji Yue took Xia Zhongqin's arm and quickly arrived at Xia Zhongqin's seat at the third table.
Xia Zhongqin sat down in front of the table with her name on it. Her seat was facing the main door of the hall. Liu Qingqing was originally on her right, and Lian Yijian was on her right, but neither of them came. In addition to the two of them, there was Xia Kaiqun on her left. Everyone else at the third table had already arrived, and there was also a strange face at the table.
This unfamiliar face was sitting to the right of Lian Yijian's seat.
Xia Zhongqin had just sat down when the cold dishes began to be served. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was already half past six. She looked towards the main table and saw that Wang Dayu had not arrived yet. Yao Xiang, the implementation manager of Nantong District at the fourth table, had not arrived either.
Xia Zhongqin looked towards the door and saw no one coming in. She edited a WeChat message, but before she sent it out, she heard the sound of footsteps. When she looked up, she saw Wang Dayu's girlfriend Nana affectionately holding Wang Dayu's arm and walking into the hall.
A group of people followed Wang Dayu, including Yi Jian, Xia Kaiqun, and Liu Qingqing.
Seeing this, Xia Zhongqin silently exited the WeChat editing page.
As soon as she entered the hall, Liu Qingqing walked very fast, leaving Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun far behind. When she arrived at the third table, she quickly sat down at her table seat, as if she was afraid that her seat would be taken away by someone.
When Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun arrived at the third table, it seemed as if they had already discussed it privately. Xia Kaiqun walked to Lian Yijian's table, and Lian Yijian sat on Xia Zhongqin's left.
The anger in Liu Qingqing's eyes had reached its peak. Her whole mind was on Lian Yijian, and she didn't notice the new face that suddenly appeared at the table at all until she heard the new face greeting Lian Yijian.
"Yi Jian, you're really good! You've taken first place in national H1 sprint delivery again. Last time in Nantong, we won a multi-million dollar order from Zhongtian Interconnect. We invited you to drink at the celebration party tonight, but you said you had something important to do the next day. President Xiang and I were specially invited by Daewoo to come here today, so you have to play host tonight."
The speaker was Dong Dawei, assistant president of Beijing Smart Internet Company in charge of delivery business. After seeing Lian Yijian sit down in front of Xia Kaiqun's table, he switched seats with Shangguan Jinliang, who was originally sitting on Xia Kaiqun's right.
Lian Yijian exchanged a few words with Dong Dawei, and then introduced Xia Zhongqin, who was sitting on Dong Dawei's left.
"Dawei, this is Xia Zhongqin, the PMO for Southern Jiangsu Province, whom I mentioned to you last time." Lian Yijian smiled at Xia Zhongqin and said, "Zhongqin, this is Dawei, the CEO often mentioned by the delivery personnel at our Beijing Smart Internet Company."
Just as Lian Yijian finished speaking, Dong Dawei stood up and pulled out his chair. He walked over to where Xia Zhongqin was sitting, then extended his right hand and said, "Xia Zhongqin, let's get to know each other."
After coming to Beijing Smart Internet Company last year, the name Dong Dawei often appeared in the headquarters' H1 sprint online meetings and delivery sequence collaboration. This was the first time Xia Zhongqin saw a real person, and she quickly stood up from her chair.
She slowly extended her right hand, and the moment they shook hands, she said, "Hello, Mr. Dawei, nice to meet you."
Dong Dawei glanced at Xia Zhongqin, then at Lian Yijian, who had just stood up with Xia Zhongqin, and said meaningfully, "He's indeed someone chosen by the top delivery leader of Beijing Smart Internet Company. He's very intelligent and gifted."
"Hello, Mr. Dawei, I'm Liu Qingqing, the human resources manager of Southern Jiangsu District." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Dong Dawei's face, and he turned to Lian Yijian for help.
Lian Yijian was speechless, but he had to bite the bullet and give a brief introduction.
Lian Yijian couldn't hide the expression of disgust on his face, and Dong Dawei naturally saw it. He didn't extend his right hand, but nodded politely and returned to his seat.
Liu Qingqing was left alone there, and everyone at the third table noticed it. Except for Liu Qingqing herself, they all thought she was just looking for trouble. She and Dong Dawei originally belonged to different business departments of the company. Moreover, one was still in the branch and the other was in the headquarters. It was not unfair for her to be treated like this.
As Dong Dawei, Lian Yijian and Xia Zhongqin sat down, Liu Qingqing glared at Xia Zhongqin fiercely and then returned to her seat and sat down.
Last year, there were singing and dancing performances at the H1 sprint dinner and the year-end party, and this year is no exception. The hosts of the dinner are still Sun Yaya, the marketing manager of the Southern Jiangsu District, and Lin Popo, the general manager of Nantong District, who hosted the two regional dinners last year. The singing and dancing performers are also the same as last year, all invited from outside.
At half past six, Wang Dayu came on stage and gave a speech. The content of his speech was different from last year's H1 dinner, in that he welcomed the two leaders from the headquarters. The rest of the content was the same as last year's H1 dinner. Immediately afterwards, the two hosts, Sun Yaya and Lin Popo, stood on the stage together to announce the official start of the dinner.
Sun Yaya and Lin Popo, standing on the stage, were dressed quite formally, both wearing evening gowns rented from outside, which looked very pleasing to the eye from a distance.
The dinner and the singing and dancing performance began simultaneously.
From the moment he sat down, Lian Yijian was pulled by Dong Dawei and talked non-stop, not giving him any chance to talk to someone next to him, until Wang Dayu and Xiang Sen came over to their table to toast.
"Yi Jian, you're a delivery expert in Southern Jiangsu, and also a delivery guru at Beijing Smart Internet. If the company had more delivery leaders like you, it would be hard to imagine the company's performance failing."
The speaker was Xiang Sen, president of Beijing Smart Interconnection Company. He personally toasted Lian Yijian with a glass of wine. This was the first time for the national regional delivery department of Beijing Smart Interconnection Company.
Lian Yijian, who had already stood up, replied "Thank you, Mr. Xiang" and drank it all in one gulp.
The rest of the people at the table then raised their glasses and toasted Xiang Sen and Wang Dayu.
Except for Lian Yijian, Dong Dawei and Xia Kaiqun, the others had drinks in their glasses while the others had white wine in their glasses.
With Dong Dawei urging them to drink one glass after another, the bottle of Wuliangye with an alcohol content of 52% in front of them was soon turned upside down. In the middle of the drink, Lian Yijian stood up to toast the people from the delivery department at other tables, and some people from the delivery department also came to the third table to toast him.
Dong Dawei quickly opened the second bottle of Wuliangye on the table.
Lian Yijian's alcohol tolerance is considered to be the best in the entire southern Jiangsu area, but he is still no match for Dong Dawei, who is known as the best drinker in Beijing Smart Internet Company. He can only pretend to be dizzy and lean back on the dining chair.
Seeing this, Dong Dawei called the waiter to bring a new wine glass. He poured one-third of the newly opened Wuliangye into the new glass, and then he went straight to Xia Zhongqin's seat with the freshly poured wine and the wine in his glass.
