Chapter 333: Celebration Event Part Two
“Congratulations on your graduation!”
The group of cousins, led by Mei Yue, sprayed Mei Fang with confetti.
The C Station team treated the end of the college entrance exams for the management team as a celebratory occasion. The office was decorated with balloons, streamers, and banners. A large cake and various snacks like milk tea, fried chicken, and pizza were set up in the meeting room.
In addition to that, dolls of Xia Yuan, Fang, and Xi were placed all over, making the scene somewhat embarrassing. Xia Yuan quickly asked everyone to put away the dolls, but Mei Fang was already used to such situations and joined in the fun.
Liu Xiaoyu enjoyed the atmosphere of the company, but she, like other colleagues, chose to hide in a corner and eat cake.
However, this moment of tranquility didn’t last long. When Xia Yuan loudly asked if anyone had seen Xiaoyu, Zhu Nainai and Xu Wei pushed Liu Xiaoyu to the front. They made her wear a shameful hat-like accessory and cut the cake with the “three big ones.”
The entire event was recorded by Yunzi from the operations department. The interactive games during breaks were quite interesting, providing a good experience for the boss.
As the celebration neared its end at around seven in the evening, some employees still hadn’t finished their regular work hours. Mei Fang suggested those who wanted to leave could do so early, and everyone promptly went back to their desks to pack up—this was something he had discussed with his cousin beforehand, but having the boss say it made it more approachable.
After the celebration, everyone helped clean up the meeting room. A few girls lingered, pinching the boss’s cheeks and chatting until Lin You Xi coughed, signaling them to leave.
“Then I’ll leave today’s work here…”
As Mei Fang’s cousin, Mei Yue rarely had time to communicate with him. Seeing her grown-up cousin, she felt a bit emotional.
“Good job… You look so calm, are you not worried about your exam results?”
“It’s done, worrying won’t change anything.”
Mei Fang scratched his head and smiled, “But I’m pretty confident in my abilities.”
“That’s great! After all, you’re my little Fang. Haha, I don’t worry about you.”
Mei Fang sized up his brightly dressed cousin, “But I should be worried about you… Are you going on a date? Is the person reliable?”
“Who, who said I was going on a date? I’m just meeting a friend. You know, a friend.”
Mei Yue tapped Mei Fang’s head, “Your cousin is in an upward career phase, chatting with friends is enough, where would there be time for men?”
“That’s fine too… Once you become the HR director, there will surely be many suitors.”
“That’s not easy… Do you think it’s like a girl’s romance novel?”
Mei Yue laughed and shook her head, “It’s hard for strong women to find partners. Men often have traditional views and don’t like to depend on others.”
“So what if I like to depend on others?”
Lin You Xi walked over to join the conversation. Mei Fang took the opportunity to挽着 Lin You Xi’s arm and smiled, “I rely on You Xi and Yuan Yuan to work hard, and we live well.”
“Tsk… Can you compare with us three?”
Mei Yue patted Mei Fang’s shoulder, “Let’s go, let’s go, no more talking, I’ll be late if I don’t meet my friend soon. I’m leaving first.”
“Bye, Yueyue sister.”
“Yueyue sister, you’re leaving already?”
“Bye, Yueyue sister.”
Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu waved goodbye to Mei Yue, then Xia Yuan pulled Liu Xiaoyu to Mei Fang and Lin You Xi, “Everyone has mostly left. Nainai said they’re closing the dorms, shall we go back or stay for the next event?”
“The next event… haven’t you eaten enough?”
“No, no… Aren’t celebrations one after another? I want to try a bar. What about you, Xiaoyu?”
“I… I need to pack my things.”
Liu Xiaoyu waved her hand, “Go ahead and enjoy yourselves.”
“Are you going straight home to pack?”
“Not exactly, I’ll go back tomorrow… My dad is coming to pick me up,” Liu Xiaoyu said softly, “Have fun.”
“Mm! Do you know how to get home?”
“Yes, yes, I brought my subway card.”
Xia Yuan, Mei Fang, Lin You Xi, and Liu Xiaoyu said their goodbyes, and the company was left with only Mei Youyuan and the “three big ones.”
Outside the window, the city lights shone brightly. In the internet era of 2014, time was money, and overtime was common at C Station. However, Mei Fang provided ample rest time and fair compensation, ensuring everyone’s efforts were rewarded.
“It’s really bright outside…”
Xia Yuan, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, couldn’t help but sigh, “Workers are truly hardworking.”
“That’s how it is… Making money isn’t easy.”
Xia Yuan lay on the lazy sofa, “Actually, I quite like this place… But when summer comes, C Station will move to Pingshan, right?”
“Not so urgent, but some people and equipment will move over first…”
Just as Mei Fang was explaining, Lin You Xi suddenly hugged Mei Fang from behind, “Will our office sofa come with us? I really like that sofa.”
“This isn’t expensive, we can buy a new one later.”
“But old sofas have memories.”
Lin You Xi got up from Mei Fang and looked at the bright cityscape, “Let’s stay here together until morning.”
“Company office? Why this idea…?”
“I like experiencing special things.”
Lin You Xi pulled Mei Fang up, and Mei Fang obediently followed him into the office.
Xia Yuan watched them sneakily and struggled to get up from the lazy sofa. She hurried to the office door and opened it, only to see Lin You Xi sitting on Mei Fang and touching him.
“Hey! You two… aren’t you a bit too bold… There are surveillance cameras here!”
“We don’t have cameras in our own office, I arranged it beforehand.”
Lin You Xi looked at Xia Yuan warmly, “Are you just watching, or joining us?”
“Ahh… yeah…”
Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment and then locked the door behind her.
Subway card… subway card…
Because she left her subway card at the company, Liu Xiaoyu returned to look for it. The office was now empty.
“Why didn’t anyone turn off the power?”
She finally found her subway card on a desk, but the noise from inside the office piqued her curiosity.
“Is anyone here? If not, I’ll turn off the power.”
She quietly asked, but the strange sounds from the office made her feel familiar. Curiosity drove her towards the office, but soon she blushed and ran away.
…
Though shocking, it seemed normal to the three of them.
Liu Xiaoyu added another secret to keep for them.
