Chapter 267 Lemonade
Time passed quickly. Mr. Shen was discharged from the hospital on the last day of December. When Shen Jiazhou received the news, they had just arrived at the entrance of the annual meeting venue.
After saying hello, he took the cake's reins and walked into the venue with Wen Shuqiao and Cancan.
The annual meeting was held in a private clubhouse of a friend of Shen Jiazhou. The venue was beautifully decorated and there was a live orchestra performing, which was very lively.
"Can-Can baby!"
A familiar voice called Cancan. Cancan turned his head and a smile instantly appeared on his face. He ran over quickly and threw himself into the person's arms: "Aunt Xiaomiao!"
Miao Yi hugged him and said with a smile: "Oh baby, I haven't seen you for a while. You are more handsome and taller. Auntie can't hold you anymore."
Cancan raised her head from her arms and said with a smile: "Then let me hold Aunt Xiaomiao! I'm strong and can carry her!"
Miao Yi pinched his chubby face and said, "My dear, Auntie brought you a New Year's gift. Can I give it to you later?"
"Okay! Aunt Xiaomiao, Happy New Year!" Cancan laughed twice.
The system said disdainfully: [Look at how silly you are. ]
Cancan snorted: [I look just like you! You are so stupid too! ]
The system also snorted, and was about to refute, but then it realized something and said seriously: [I... am not like this. ]
Cancan was puzzled: [Okay, if you say it’s not, then it’s not. ]
The system always felt something was strange, but Cancan saw the familiar uncle and aunt again, and went to greet them with a cake.
Miao Yi watched him cheerfully greet others, then retracted his gaze and looked at Wen Shuqiao: "Shuqiao, Happy New Year."
Wen Shuqiao also smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Xiao Miao."
Miao Yi said with emotion: "I have been too busy since I left my job. I haven't been able to get together. How is your photography learning going?"
Although they have never met, they still contact each other occasionally on WeChat.
"When you are free someday, come and check it out?" Wen Shuqiao curled his eyes and said, "It should be satisfactory."
"Okay, but I have to wait until I finish my latest project." Miao Yi said with emotion: "I thought being a secretary was busy enough, but now that I'm leading a project myself, I find it's even busier."
She has to go on business trips every now and then, but she earns more money and enjoys it.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Shen Jiazhou whispered to Wen Shuqiao, "I'm going to get busy."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him and nodded: "Go ahead."
Miao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and after Wen Shuqiao came back to his senses, he returned to normal.
She said, "Cancan has become much more cheerful now."
Wen Shuqiao nodded. Cancan was not far away, showing off his puppy with the aunts and uncles he knew before. If it were in the past, he would just hide behind himself and look at others shyly.
"After going to kindergarten and spending more time with other children, I became bolder and more cheerful." Wen Shuqiao sighed, "I was always making a fuss at home."
"That's good." Miao Yi said, "Children need to move and be more lively."
The two chatted for a while, and Miao Yi asked again: "How is the decoration of your house going?"
"Construction will start on the 6th. Since the Spring Festival is early this year, we can only knock down some unnecessary walls first. We expect to hand over the house by the end of April next year." Wen Shuqiao said, "Jia Zhou is helping me to keep an eye on it, so I should be able to get it on time."
Miao Yi let out a long "Oh" and said, "Boss Chen has experience, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help you keep an eye on him."
Wen Shuqiao nodded, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Shen Jiazhou who was negotiating with someone not far away. After taking a look, he retracted his gaze: "What about you? What are your plans for the holiday?"
Miao Yi did not miss her little action. When he heard her question, he said, "I'm going to take my parents out for a trip..."
Although Shen Jiazhou's company is not as big as Shen's, it still employs nearly seventy employees.
Moreover, after leaving Shen's, Shen Jiazhou's temper and mood have been very friendly and stable recently. He is no longer like when he was in Shen's, keeping people at a distance and having a stern face all day long. And everyone is an "old colleague", so naturally they will not let Shen Jiazhou go!
After drinking glass after glass of wine, Shen Jiazhou saw through the bad intentions of this group of people and found an excuse to leave the crowd.
He searched for a long time and finally found Wen Shuqiao and Cancan.
They have already taken their seats, and Miao Yi is next to them. I don't know what they are talking about, but they look quite happy.
Shen Jiazhou walked over, and Miao Yi happened to stand up. Seeing him coming, he asked, "Boss Shen, it's almost time. Shall I ask everyone to take a seat?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Yes."
They didn't arrange any messy games for this annual meeting, people just came to eat and receive red envelopes.
After eating, everyone went back to their homes and played their own games.
Shen Jiazhou sat next to Wen Shuqiao. Wen Shuqiao looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Why does it feel like Shen Jiazhou is a little tipsy?
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "We are just getting started now."
It was just a few drinks. Although he doesn't drink often, his alcohol tolerance is obvious to everyone!
Wen Shuqiao blinked and stared at his face carefully again.
Shen Jiazhou quietly moved his face to the side so that she could not see.
Wen Shuqiao retracted his gaze, poured the lemonade on the table into a clean cup, and handed it to him while holding the cup.
Shen Jiazhou looked down and said in protest: "It's sour, I don't want to drink it."
Cancan was originally sending the video she had shot to Anan. After hearing what Shen Jiazhou said, she advised him earnestly, "Uncle, the lemonade isn't sour. Go ahead and drink it. You're already drunk."
Wen Shuqiao leaned back in his chair and couldn't help laughing, his shoulders shaking.
She touched Cancan's head with her other hand and said, "Well said."
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help himself and stretched out his arms, ready to "ravage" his head, but Cancan dodged to the side. Haha! Stupid uncle! Don't even think about catching him!
System: [How childish. ]
Now it can only say this sentence over and over again, it has become completely accustomed to it.
My uncle is childish. He is as childish as Long Aotian.
Shen Jiazhou's desire to win has come, and he must catch this little rascal!
"Hey, hey, hey." Wen Shuqiao hurriedly stopped him, grabbed Shen Jiazhou's arm, and reminded him in a low voice: "Boss Shen, everyone is watching us, image management, image management."
Shen Jiazhou's brain was a beat slower due to the small amount of alcohol. After he realized what Wen Shuqiao said, he reluctantly withdrew his hand. But before he could completely let go, his wrist was grabbed by a warm palm.
Wen Shuqiao placed the cup in his palm: "Drink some, it's not too sour."
Shen Jiazhou still didn't want to drink, but Wen Shuqiao had already turned his head to talk to Cancan. He pursed his lips a little unhappily, but finally lowered his head and took a sip.
It's not really sour, but the unique smell of lemon is still a bit overpowering.
Wen Shuqiao was reminding Cancan to hold the cake tightly and not let it out of his sight. With so many people around, there would inevitably be people who were afraid of dogs, and it would be bad if they got scared.
Cancan nodded: "Yes! Don't worry, auntie, the cake will listen to me."
Wen Shuqiao touched his head, and the waiter began to serve the dishes gradually.
Lin Yan acted as the host and asked everyone to find a seat. Several management members sat at their table and greeted Wen Shuqiao. They wanted to say hello to Shen Jiazhou as well, but when they saw that their boss had a sullen expression for some reason, they gave up the idea.
Seriously, who pissed him off again?
After Lin Yan and Miao Yi took their seats, the annual meeting began.
Although Shen Jiazhou was not very happy after drinking the lemonade, he was still very "friendly" and went to toast with other supervisors.
In an instant, only Wen Shuqiao and Cancan were left at the table.
Cancan was biting off a piece of chicken leg meat, eating a bite for himself, and secretly feeding a bite of cake. After being stopped, he asked: "Aunt (chew chew chew), what are uncle and other aunts and uncles doing (chew chew chew)?"
"Go and thank them." Wen Shuqiao was very familiar with this. He had worked so many jobs in his previous life and had also eaten a few meals treated by his boss.
The bosses just drank one glass of wine after another, simply to thank everyone for their support over the past year and look forward to the future.
But I didn’t expect that Shen Jiazhou was no exception.
Thinking of the helpless and resentful look on his face as he walked away with the wine glass, I couldn't help but curl my lips.
Cancan made an "oh" sound and took another bite of the chicken leg. While his aunt was looking away, he secretly fed the meat to Cake who was sitting next to him.
While feeding him, he thought to himself, if he doesn't want to be a boss in the future, he won't drink! It's not good!
The system heard his inner thoughts and couldn't help but laugh: [Social engagements are all about social etiquette.]
Although it feels that it is okay for the uncle not to maintain these social etiquette, since before others always came to respect him, now they can do the same!
Cancan blew on the beef slices in the bowl and was about to speak when the system said, "Don't feed me cake, or I'll tell my aunt."
[Tsk, I ate it by myself!] Cancan bluffed: [You can’t talk to my aunt! How can you complain!]
He insisted on having cake and eating it!
But just as he was about to reach for the beef slices in the bowl, Wen Shuqiao turned his head and looked at him: "What are you doing?"
Cancan took his hand back guiltily, and said innocently: "No! Baby didn't do anything!"
Wen Shuqiao: ...
It’s confirmed, you just want to do something bad!
