I actually don't like this kind of environment. On the surface, everyone is chatting and laughing, but behind the funny faces, what I see are cold, lifeless cheeks.
The smell of wine and cigarettes blended together, and I seemed to smell something rotten. Watching them talk and drink happily, I felt like a complex of contradictions. Although it was lively, I felt a strange feeling. Loneliness and being unable to fit into their world.
I was like a lonely observer, observing them silently.
Zhang Yin said that the people she could invite to this room to drink were all her own people. After closing the door, of course she had to say something about her own people. She and the other two big bosses talked about cooperation while drinking. We talked about this business conference.
Mr. Li held a cigar in his hand. He skillfully used the cigar cutter to cut off one end, then lit it and took a deep breath, which felt a bit like pointing out the country.
He slowly blew out a smoke ring and said quietly: "This new force award will be given to Zhang Yin. There will be a food exhibition early next month. You can also go there..."
Zhang Yin's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she raised her glass with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Li..."
Mr. Li waved his hand, "Let's all make a fortune together! Your company has just entered the industry, so I'll give you a newcomer award first. I'll call you for any events in the future, which is also an endorsement of your company."
After saying that, his eyes fell on my face and he said with a smile: "Your company does a good job in live broadcasting. It is not easy to do it with your own employees without inviting influencers. Of course we need more support...".
They made it very clear that the selection this time was actually an internal decision. This so-called business conference was actually based on relationships and money. I had only heard of it but never seen it. This time it was an eye-opener.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I thought I was qualified to be selected because I did a good job in live broadcasting, but in the end it turned out to be based on connections, which is really ironic.
This so-called selection is purely a behind-the-scenes operation and nonsense. It is so-called evaluation of excellence, but the truly outstanding ones cannot be promoted.
The further up I went, the uglier and darker I saw. On the contrary, it was my companions in the hospital who made me see the brilliance of humanity.
I didn't want to get along with them, but I couldn't cause trouble for Zhang Yin, so I kept sitting at the back. At this time, a guy proposed a toast to Xu Hui. She quickly waved her hand and declined, "Sorry, I don't know how to drink. I drink drinks." Let me have a drink with you."
I also just found out that Xu Huizhen doesn't drink, and she did drink juice all night long.
But this guy is ignorant, he keeps stalking him, and he smells of alcohol. "Can't you learn from me? Give me some face."
Xu Hui looked hesitant, and her slightly frowning eyebrows looked a little blurry under the light, like mountain lilies swaying in the cold wind.
This guy is a manager of Chen's head office, and he will be in contact with Xu Hui in the future. The two have just added WeChat, and Xu Hui is a little afraid to offend him.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I reached out to take the wine he handed to Xu Hui, and said with a smile, "She really can't drink, so I'll do it!"
After that, I raised my head and drank the beer.
This guy was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend me. He smiled at me. Although he was smiling, it felt forced. He was obviously unhappy, but he still forced himself to smile.
He poured another glass and said lightly: "Ladies, one glass, and we men have to drink three glasses in a row!"
I didn't show any pretense, nodded and said, "Okay, our girl doesn't know how to drink. I'll drink for her and take care of her in the future."
After that, I drank three beers in a row and felt a little bloated.
This guy saw that I was so happy and that he was the favorite in his boss's eyes. I gave him face. He didn't say anything more and went to find someone else to drink.
I turned my head and glanced at Xu Hui. She still looked like she was dying, but her eyes were no longer as disdainful as before.
I felt out of place in this circle, so I stayed there for more than two token hours and then excused myself because I felt uncomfortable.
When I came out of the room, I didn't go very far when suddenly there was a sound of light footsteps behind me.
Looking back, it was Xu Huizhui
Out.
There was nothing to say between me and her. She treated me like a class enemy, but just now I blocked her drink, which moved her a little and she walked over quickly.
She asked me in disbelief: "Why did you hold back my drink just now?"
I chuckled, "You don't drink, don't you? I'm afraid you'll drink too much, and then..."
Her eyes widened and she interrupted me: "Rogue!"
I sighed and then finished my sentence: "I'm afraid you'll let someone drink too much and then they'll vomit."
"..."
Xu Hui showed a speechless expression, glanced at me up and down, and hummed: "Don't think that I will thank you just because you blocked my drink."
I chuckled and waved my hand, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to bed first. I can't talk to you too much at night."
"Why?" Xu Hui asked, puzzled.
"Nightmare!"
"..."
It is true that Xu Hui and I have grievances, but they are internal. No matter how hard we close the door and fight, we must be consistent externally.
Back in the room, I received a message from Lin Feifei. She said she was home, so I made a video call.
As soon as Lin Feifei's pretty face appeared in the video, I felt that this evil world suddenly became beautiful again.
"How was your business trip? Show me how your room is like!" Lin Feifei ordered.
I secretly laughed a few times. Her mind was made of briquettes. On the surface, she said she was concerned about my accommodation conditions, but in fact, she wanted to see if there were any "clues" in the room.
I turned the video around, and Lin Feifei showed a satisfied smile, "Well, you performed well, I was worried that you were hiding people in the house!"
"How can I hide someone in a house? I usually go to other people's rooms."
"..."
Lin Feifei laughed and scolded, then got down to business, "How do you feel about the business trip? Are you happy?"
I lay down on the bed in a Tai-shaped position and said helplessly, "To be honest, I don't think it's interesting."
Lin Feifei smiled sweetly, "It's great to be on a business trip. There must be many beauties. You are out there alone, just playing around. I don't even know."
I laughed angrily, "Then it's a busy night! I just went to Sister Yin's room to drink..."
I told Lin Feifei everything that had just happened. Finally, I sighed helplessly, "You said everything was arranged. What's the point?"
Lin Feifei smiled and said, "Hey, I was interviewed for a promotion at my old club before, but I was rejected! They said they would let me do live broadcasts and shoot promotional videos. You seemed to think highly of me, but when it came to promotion When I get a raise, I won’t have anything to do.”
