Chapter 098 City Hall (Part 2)
Xiao Wen walked in, looked around, and saw Bai Tao squatting on the ground in the corner. She took two steps closer and said, "Bai Tao, are you okay?"
Bai Tao raised her head, her face looking somewhat listless.
Xiaowen walked over and patted her on the back.
Bai Tao shook her head to suppress her chaotic emotions: "It's okay, thank you." She stood up slowly, and the sense of falsehood faded away.
Xiaowen reached out to support Baitao, and they returned to the office together. Baitao saw the material that was sent back for rewriting on her desk.
Looking around, Xiao Zhang was not in the office and her bag was missing. She had gone off work and left the work to Bai Tao.
Rubbing his temples, Bai Tao's head started to hurt when he thought about working with such a colleague in the future.
Director: "Bai Tao, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back first, and leave the work to Xiao Wen."
Xiaowen looked at the director, then at Bai Tao, and pursed her lips in grievance.
Bai Tao refused. She didn't want to involve Xiao Wen in the feud between her and Xiao Zhang.
The director didn't say anything and left after get off work, leaving Bai Tao and Xiao Wen alone in the office.
Xiaowen: "Um, Baitao, how long does it take you to work? How about I accompany you?"
Bai Tao put the materials back on Xiao Zhang's desk: "No, let's go home."
"Ah? But, Sister Zhang..."
Bai Tao: "Sister Zhang didn't leave the office this afternoon." The leader asked her to send it back for redoing, just to make things difficult for her.
Bai Tao is a newcomer, but she and Xiao Zhang are at the same level in terms of job title, so Xiao Zhang can only rely on the orders of his superiors to bully others.
Bai Tao won't serve me anymore.
Xiaowen: "Ah? Why is Sister Zhang like this? If we don't have to work overtime, we can just go back to the dormitory together."
"dormitory?"
Xiao Wen was confused: "Staff dormitory, are you a local and don't live in the dormitory?"
Local? No, of course she is not a local. She is, where is she from?
I shook my head again, only to feel even more dizzy.
"I may be feeling unwell. Do you know where the nearest hospital is?"
Xiaowen's smile froze, and her body also became stiff: "The hospital is in..."
The sound was intermittent, and discontinuous color blocks appeared on the body, as if the screen of an antique TV had dropped frames due to poor contact.
Bai Tao vaguely heard the countdown of three, two, one in the air.
Count to zero and time goes back.
Xiaowen returned to normal: "Ah? Why is Sister Zhang like this?"
She put her arm around Bai Tao's: "Forget about her. Today is the City Hall dinner day. All departments are participating. If you don't want to be in the same department as Sister Zhang, maybe you can find someone at the dinner who can help you transfer to another department."
She added: "It's public funding~"
Bai Tao came back to her senses with a start. She seemed to see Xiao Wen's frame rate drop just now. The world became fantastic. She held the ghost painting in her pocket, looked at Xiao Wen deeply, and smiled again: "Okay."
The dinner was held at a restaurant outside the City Hall office building. The restaurant was booked out and only City Hall employees were allowed in.
A young man stood up and greeted: "Xiao Wen, long time no see, who is this beautiful lady?"
Xiaowen: "A new colleague in our department."
All the participants are young people, and the publicly funded dinner = a blind date party.
As soon as she came in, Bai Tao separated from Xiao Wen.
There are two handsome guys sitting on the left and right of the seat, one is a handsome guy with long hair and a suit, and the other is a handsome guy with short hair and dark skin.
The two of them competed with each other in showing their courtesy: "Bai Tao, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Another person blocked the wine for Bai Tao and turned around to pour her juice.
When her eyes met Xiaowen's, she mouthed "Come on" to Baitao.
Gentle and considerate, Bai Tao is the main focus when getting along with others, and all the people are the type that Bai Tao likes.
But something felt wrong. As soon as Bai Tao saw them, she thought of the beauty trap.
Just then the cell phone rang, Bai Tao apologized and got up to leave.
A call from 'Mom'.
"How was your first day at work today? It's so noisy there. You're not a child anymore. It's time to find a partner. Old Chen's kid is back. You can meet him tomorrow. Blabla..."
Baitao: "..."
I glanced at the phone number and saw that it was indeed my mother, but she seemed like a different person.
Bai Tao once again thought that the world was fake.
Interrupting mom: "Mommy, my colleague is calling me."
'You're lying again, aren't you, little rascal?'
The expected response did not appear, but: "I know," she finally reminded, "If you meet a colleague you like, remember to act early, don't listen to the lies that girls should be reserved, good men are in high demand-"
Bang, Bai Tao hung up the phone. This was not her mother.
"Mommy" is the secret code between Bai Tao and her mother. When Bai Tao was a child, she had a habit of lying. Her mother did not force her to change this bad habit, but made an agreement with her that if she could not control the urge to lie, she had to call her "Mommy", otherwise she would spank Bai Tao.
Bai Tao has never been beaten. But this little habit has been retained and has become a little secret between mother and daughter.
The person on the other end of the phone sounded like her mother, but she was definitely not her mother!
Bai Tao has been out for too long, so Xiao Wen comes to find her.
"Bai Tao, didn't you meet someone you like? Do you want me to go back with you?"
Bai Tao shook her head: "No need." She was going back to the crowd to find out the truth on the note.
[The election for the Lord of Dream City has begun, welcome to participate! 】
The highest person in charge of the city hall is called the mayor, and Bai Tao has never heard of the title "City Lord".
Sitting back among the handsome men, Bai Tao asked questions without leaving any trace.
There are 24 functional departments in the city hall. Bai Tao pretended to be curious, and the two men said in unison: "I know!"
I would rush to introduce it to Bai Tao.
Bai Tao raised her hand to stop him: "Don't——"
"How about you two say it one by one? Those who can't answer, drink a glass as punishment, and the other one will continue." Bai Tao picked up the bottle and filled the glasses of the two handsome guys, and raised the corner of her mouth to the two of them, "Let's see who knows more departments. The winner will get a reward~"
"The first functional department..." The long-haired handsome man on the left started first.
The dark-skinned handsome guy continued: "The second functional department..."
…
When it came to the penultimate functional department, Changfa Meinan got stuck.
"Twenty-three - twenty-three -" He sighed, picked up the glass and drank it all.
Bai Tao looked at the other one at the right time. The dark-skinned handsome guy moved his throat slightly, turned his head and said nothing. He couldn't remember which the last two functional departments were.
Bai Tao sighed faintly: "It looks like a draw."
As we all know, men are competitive creatures, especially when competing with the opposite sex and the same sex.
Although Bai Tao felt that there were other reasons why the two handsome guys were so excited, it was in Bai Tao's favor. She didn't intend to delve into the reasons, nor did she have the time to do so.
The unreasonable feeling of urgency urged Bai Tao to go faster and faster.
She had already wasted a day.
The minds of the two handsome guys on the field seemed to be obscured by something invisible.
In order not to disappoint Bai Tao, they all looked for external help.
The long-haired handsome man has many friends. With the help of his friends, he took the lead in telling Bai Tao about the twenty-third functional department: "Secretary Department, a department specifically responsible for the mayor."
12 to 11, he was sure to win.
At the last moment, the dark-skinned handsome guy walked in grabbing a man by the collar.
"This person is Xiao Wu from the twenty-fourth functional department, the Human Resources Management Department."
The long-haired handsome man gave him a look, and his friend started to make fun of him: "How come I've never heard of this before? Xiao X, you didn't make it up just to please the beauty, did you?"
The dark-skinned handsome guy sneered, picked up the man on the ground, and pulled out his ID card from his collar: "Look, Human Resources Management Department."
Hand the sign to Bai Tao and show it to her.
But in Bai Tao's vision, the work department of Xiao Wu's work badge clearly read - City Lord Election Registration Office!
