Chapter 48
Jiang Bai sorted out all the plans in his rented house over the weekend. When he went to work on Monday, all the project members were present. Then he held the first meeting with the client, the project kick-off meeting. Jiang Bai's first project manager career officially began.
For the next month, Jiang Bai was either working overtime or on his way to work overtime. Being a project manager is much more tiring than being an ordinary project member.
At the end of a month, Jiang Bai was asked to take the client to an event, a financial exchange event hosted by a financial organization and Peking University. The event would be held a week later at Peking University.
Jiang Bai didn't even know that the company would participate in such an event.
But she is not the only one who will be there. The person in charge from the sales department, the director of the sales department will also be there. Moreover, several clients are going together this time, so it looks like a grand scene.
So I communicated with the sales department about the specific details of the meeting, and then contacted the client to confirm the route for the day and the personnel who would be attending the meeting on the client's side.
The day of the event soon arrived. Jiang Bai wore light green suit pants, a white V-neck long-sleeved shirt tucked into the suit pants, and a slightly loose light green women's suit jacket. She put on some simple makeup, fixed her hair, and took her bag to the event site with her clients.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, someone from the sales department came to guide her, and then the sales department would accompany her throughout the whole process. As a supporting role, she only had to follow and could even leave in the middle.
Such financial meetings last from morning to afternoon. Lunch is arranged by the organizer. Everyone can get a meal ticket from Peking University and dine in the Peking University cafeteria. There is also a dinner in the evening. Some clients will stay for the dinner, and then it will be time for the various companies to communicate.
After the morning session ended, the group had lunch in the Beijing University cafeteria and then returned to the conference hall to rest while waiting for the afternoon session.
Because it was break time, after all the clients returned to the conference room, Jiang Bai walked out alone to get some fresh air. Just at the door of the conference room, Jiang Bai saw a few roll-up banners, so she walked over to take a look.
The first one is that their financial conference is co-organized by someone and Peking University, and the co-organizer is Zhenghe Group, as well as the meeting location and a brief meeting agenda.
The second one said that the Peking University Dance Academy was having an evening party this Friday at a certain place, which Jiang Bai had never heard of.
The third one is that there will be a national college translation competition in mid-May. The competition will have both individual and team competitions, and the format is not limited to English-Chinese or Chinese-English translation. The venue is in the conference hall where they are now.
The competition will last for three days, with team competitions on the first and second days and individual competitions on the last day.
Jiang Bai took out his cell phone and took a picture.
On the other side, Fu Xiaoqian was walking towards the conference room holding Lan Shuqing's hand.
They are classmates and roommates. Fu Xiaoqian is the class monitor, while Lan Shuqing, who has the best grades, does not hold any position. After all, she is pursuing a double degree and is usually busier than others.
"Did Senior Brother Li tell us where he was waiting for us?"
Fu Xiaoqian looked at the time. It was almost half past six.
Lan Shuqing held the phone in his right hand and was messaging someone. "It's just outside the conference hall. You should be able to see it when you get over there."
Fu Xiaoqian tilted her head and happened to see the red bracelet on Lan Shuqing's wrist. Her eyes lit up, "Shuqing, when did you start wearing a bracelet? Who gave it to you?"
Lan Shu glanced at the bracelet, put away his phone, and put it in his pocket. "A friend gave it to me."
Fu Xiaoqian's eyes widened. She desperately shook Lan Shuqing's arm, "Who is it?"
"Is it Senior Brother Li, who is from our level? Or is it Senior Brother Xu who came to discuss a problem with you before? Could it be Senior Brother Lin?"
There is a reason why Fu Xiaoqian can be the class monitor. She has a lively personality and loves gossip. She and Lan Shuqing are the best friends in the class. She has never seen what Lan Shuqing wears on his hands, nor has she ever seen Lan Shuqing accept anything from anyone.
Yes, ever since Lan Shuqing went to college and obtained a double degree, his grades stood out from the crowd, and he has had a line of suitors. As for why there are not more, it is because Lan Shuqing does not look easy to approach and does not smile often.
But she never accepted anything from any suitor and rejected everyone.
Of course, the above only applies to boys who pursue Lan Shuqing. Girls occasionally give each other gifts, but Fu Xiaoqian has never seen anyone give Lan Shuqing lucky beads.
Lan Shuqing was dizzy from her shaking head, "No one, just a friend."
Fu Xiaoqian didn't believe it, "Which of your friends would give you a lucky charm?"
At least Fu Xiaoqian knows that it won’t happen.
Thinking of something, Lan Shu chuckled, "A girl, you don't know."
Fu Xiaoqian tilted her head and glanced at Lan Shuqing. She usually did things with Lan Shuqing, so how could she not know that Lan Shuqing had friends that she didn't know?
However, the person who thought of giving lucky beads was probably not a boy.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting was coming to an end.
Jiang Bai's clients did not stay for the dinner, nor did they return to the company. Instead, they went home directly. Jiang Bai and the sales manager sent them to the campus shuttle bus one by one. After the bus left, the sales manager went back to greet other clients. Jiang Bai's mission was thus successfully completed.
Just as Jiang Bai was considering whether to stay in Peking University for a while or go back, two people came towards him on the steps opposite the conference hall.
Jiang Bai knew one of them, and had seen the other one before.
Before Jiang Bai could decide whether to turn around or not, Lan Shuqing had already seen her.
Lan Shu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and returned to his expressionless look.
Fu Xiaoqian, who was standing by, didn't know Jiang Bai, so she didn't see the two of them talking to each other. Instead, she was looking for Li Guan, a senior from another college who was majoring in MBA. They were going to participate in a translation competition next month and needed to collect some information and translation-related books in advance. After hearing about it, Li Guan took the initiative to find a translation book that was out of the library and that Fu Xiaoqian and Lan Shuqing had been looking for for a long time. They came here today to get the book.
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing, and suddenly something came to her mind. She walked towards Lan Shuqing.
Lan Shuqing watched her walk over without saying a word.
Jiang Bai walked up to Lan Shuqing. She had the handbag hanging on her wrist and looked up at her. "Lan Shuqing, are you still wearing the bracelet?"
Hearing the voice, Fu Xiaoqian turned around and saw a beautiful young lady in a light green suit who looked very gentle talking to Lan Shuqing.
Bracelet?
What bracelet?
Oh, that bracelet!
Fu Xiaoqian reacted and was about to speak when Lan Shuqing said calmly, "What's wrong?"
There is no title either.
Jiang Bai continued, "You left in a hurry last time and wore it the wrong way..."
Lan Shu frowned slightly and pulled his right hand out of Fu Xiaoqian's arm. "Didn't you put it on me?"
Jiang Bai said as she put it on, "I forgot about it..." She spread out the bracelet, carefully took it off from her right hand, then lifted Lan Shuqing's left hand and put it on Lan Shuqing's left hand.
Left hand in, right hand out.
Good luck comes in and bad luck comes out.
Although you can wear it on your right hand, it is better to wear it on your left hand.
Jiang Bai looked serious and focused. She continued to adjust the beads for Lan Shuqing. Then she let go of Lan Shuqing's hand, looked up at her, and smiled, "That's good."
Fu Xiaoqian was a little stunned watching from the side. When did Lan Shuqing have such a familiar sister?
Jiang Bai only then realized that there was someone nearby. When Lan Shuqing was around, Jiang Bai was easily distracted. She waved to Fu Xiaoqian and said, "Hello~"
Fu Xiaoqian also raised her hand and waved, "Hello~"
After saying hello, Fu Xiaoqian poked Lan Shuqing's arm and said, "Shuqing, wouldn't you like to introduce yourself?"
Jiang Bai glanced at Lan Shuqing and took the initiative to step forward and walk next to Fu Xiaoqian. "No, no, my name is Jiang Bai. Are you Lan Shuqing's friend?"
Fu Xiaoqian nodded, "Shu Qing and I are roommates."
Just as the two were about to continue chatting, two boys in formal attire walked out of the conference room.
One is Li Guan whom they want to meet, and the other is Ye Ze.
After a few years, Ye Ze has matured a lot. He is handsome and has a very polite smile. He has already started an internship in a large company and has less time to return to Peking University. He happened to attend this meeting today. He and Li Guan are also brothers in the same school. After hearing that Ye Ze found a book for Lan Shuqing, he followed him spontaneously.
Jiang Bai's gaze fell on him. She seemed not to have seen him before. She then looked at the boy next to Ye Ze. The boy looked at Lan Shu and chuckled. His smile was very gentle.
"Book light!"
Li Guan stood in front of Lan Shuqing and asked with a smile, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lan Shuqing took the bag and said, "I didn't have to wait long." After that, she opened the bag and took a look. The book cover inside was indeed the book she wanted. She lifted the bag and said, "Thank you~"
His eyes did not fall on Ye Ze, who also greeted him with a smile, "Shu Qing, long time no see."
I don’t know why, but when I looked at Ye Ze again a few years later, Jiang Bai felt that his smile seemed a bit fake no matter how I looked at it. The smile of the boy next to him looked more comfortable.
Lan Shuqing then turned his head to look at him and said lightly, "Long time no see."
Li Guan had heard something about Lan Shuqing and Ye Ze before, but Ye Ze was also his senior brother, so he wanted to stop them, but failed.
So Li Guan took the initiative and said, "Shu Qing, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can return the book to me later."
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Okay."
Li Guan held Ye Ze's arm and said, "Brother, let's go in. The teacher is still waiting for us."
Jiang Bai watched the two people approach. She approached Fu Xiaoqian and asked quietly, "Classmate, are you and Lan Shuqing also here to attend the meeting?"
Fu Xiaoqian also came over and whispered back, "Sister, my name is Fu Xiaoqian, you can just call me Xiaoqian. We are not participating, we are here to get something."
Jiang Bai nodded, "I thought the Foreign Affairs Department would also hold a lecture..."
Fu Xiaoqian smiled and whispered, "We have competitions, not lectures."
Jiang Bai remembered and asked in a low voice, "Is it the one from May?"
Fu Xiaoqian nodded, "Yes~"
Ye Ze broke free from Li Guan's hand and ignored what Li Guan said. Instead, he smiled at Lan Shu in a very gentlemanly manner, "Shu Qing, I have nothing else to do here. Want to have dinner together? I'll treat you! And..."
Ye Ze turned to look at Fu Xiaoqian, then saw Jiang Bai. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he ignored Jiang Bai and invited Fu Xiaoqian: "Classmate Fu, come along too..."
Jiang Bai stood aside, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, and then secretly glanced at Lan Shuqing.
Feeling the gazes beside him, Lan Shuqing didn't look at Jiang Bai, but just said to Ye Ze: "No need to eat, Xiaoqian and I still have questions to practice tonight."
Ye Ze didn't want to miss this opportunity, "We can eat in the cafeteria..."
Seeing this, Fu Xiaoqian quickly took Lan Shuqing's right hand and said, "Brother Ye, we've been busy preparing for the translation competition lately, so I'm afraid we won't be able to pay attention to you. You know, when we have a competition, we even talk about it while eating. I won't waste your time."
After saying that, she looked at Lan Shuqing, "Right, Shuqing?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, and she looked at Li Guan, "Senior Brother Li, we're leaving first."
Li Guan quickly responded, "Okay."
