famine

The end of the year is approaching, every year Cheng Hong and his company will hold an annual meeting on the last day of work to summarize the work performance of the past year and look forward to the work tasks of the coming year. Click on the lucky draw or casual games, and you can pack your things and go home for the New Year.This year is also the same. The company's planning department sent the specific time and activities of the annual meeting to the company's general group early. They have a late holiday this year, and there are many affairs at the end of the year. The holiday time has been delayed until the 25th year.

Seeing that the year is finally coming to an end, the children in the design department are all overjoyed, trying their best to suppress the desire to jump up, pretending to be serious in front of Cheng Hong, and almost tell him, look, I How secure, how secure I am in a situation where everyone's ass looks like they have nails!

Every time Cheng Hong went in and out and saw the kids outside working hard, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. The little gay's face was almost contorted, and he couldn't even look at him after laughing at him.There are more than ten days before the holiday, Cheng Lang and his design department are still free, and the projects due to be handed in are almost done. They usually do some small work in the office, which can be completed by one person.So Cheng Lang reserved a place in the shopping center near the company, and informed the children in the outside room that they had no plans at noon, so they went out to have a meal together. It was a small private gathering of the design department.

In fact, it happens every year. Cheng Lang is now the oldest among the few, and the oldest among the remaining six is ​​three years younger than him. In Cheng Lang’s eyes, they are all children. They stay away from the family at a young age and devote themselves to the design department every day. It's not easy to get bald, so every year at this time, Cheng Hao invites a few children out to have a good meal at his own expense. Whether it's caring or building relationships, everyone is very happy.

When I saw Cheng Lang's notice in the WeChat group that night, the children felt like "he's coming, he's really coming". They stayed in the group until midnight, and were three late for work the next day.

After finally getting off work at noon, a few people couldn't sit still anymore, and looked up at Cheng Hong's closed office door frequently, and almost saw that the door was full of flowers, and the people inside came out in a well-dressed manner.

Daming was the first to stand up, looking at Cheng Lang with bright eyes: "Boss, are you leaving?"

The remaining five people sat behind the workstations and all stretched their necks to look over.

go?go?Feed your head?

Cheng Lang laughed, straightened the folds of his cuffs, raised his head and said, "Let's go."

With an order, there was a burst of cheers.

The children are all in the stage of eating and drinking, and they basically eat as soon as they are happy, so Cheng Hong didn't order a particularly high-end restaurant, but ordered a small barbecue buffet in a shopping mall with a high rating. In the private room, when seven people went in, the hall was very crowded, thanks to his reservation several days in advance, otherwise there would be no place to sit today.

Without waiting for Cheng Hong's order, after entering the private room, a few young people talked and laughed and went to get things. They took off their thick clothes, and all of them were young and beautiful. Cheng Lang was in a good mood, smiled and went out with them, went around the freezer to get meat, he couldn't eat much, these things basically ended up in the stomachs of six children, and he spent most of his time watching them eat.

Only at this time of the year, regardless of the distinction between superiors and subordinates and age groups, Cheng Hong feels that he has integrated into the circle of young people, which is much more comfortable and lively than usual.

It's not good to live alone.

The meal lasted for more than two hours, because they had to go to work in the afternoon, and several of them didn't drink any alcohol. They drank more than ten cans of Coke, and seven people walked out of the restaurant while hiccupping.

This shopping mall is quite big, with three floors, a total area of ​​17 square meters, and hundreds of stores. The colorful lights have not been withdrawn, and everyone who passes by the central area can see it, so it also attracts many young people to come here to check in.

Opposite the cafeteria is IKEA, which occupies a corner of the shopping center and covers the entire third-floor space for furniture. After entering, you can find that there are many resting people lying on the beds. Some sleep and play with mobile phones. If you are lucky enough I can also see a baby feeding in the corner, I really feel like I have this as my own home, and this funny scene has even been trending on Weibo.

The buffet is on the third floor, Cheng Hong and the others had to take the elevator out, and the elevator exit was at the entrance of IKEA, so they had to go around.

As soon as he walked to IKEA, Cheng Hong tilted his head and took a look in. He suddenly remembered that the glass vase on his desk had been knocked off, and he hadn't had time to buy a new one. Now that it's time to go to work, he probably won't have much chance in the future. Come, let a few children go back to work first, and go back later by myself.

Wang Xiangxiang was arguing with Daming at the back, heard something and thought of something, and followed Cheng Hong into IKEA, and then went to the furniture area on the second floor.

As the boss, Cheng Lang didn't restrain his subordinates from skipping work openly. He thought he was late anyway, so let's hang out together.

So he ignored the other people and went down to the second floor alone to find a vase.

IKEA's moving line design is a classic in the field of interior design. This sense of design and modernity has a profound influence and attraction on Cheng Hong, who is engaged in related industries. He used to come to visit on weekends when he was in college. IKEA, he has been to IKEA in this shopping center many times, but he hasn't been there much since he started work.Thinking back to the last time I came to IKEA, it was also before graduation.

Except for the changes in the items displayed inside, the general scene was almost the same as Cheng Lang remembered, so he was familiar with the road, picked a vase that was similar to the one on the desk, and went to check out.

Before we parted, we made an appointment with other people, and we gathered at the door of IKEA after shopping. Cheng Lang was familiar with this place, so he didn't go shopping much. He probably was the first one to go out, so he didn't worry, and stayed on the third floor for a while. , I found a fabric single sofa to sit on.

The third floor is the furniture display area. It is planned according to the moving line under the feet. There are a lot of furniture on the left and right sides, and there are many scenes. Each scene is a small grid, and the left and right do not interfere with each other, which is very interesting.

Putting aside the customers passing by and the cries of the children around, Cheng Lang wandered aimlessly, and first looked at the grid closest to him, which looked like a princess room with many pink color blocks, beds, curtains, windows, The floor, the coffee table... are all warm colors, very cozy, it looks like it is for a little girl.

The grid on the side is full of modernity, and the materials and materials are full of texture. The gray wall and the textured floor give people a real feeling. A full house should be inhabited by a deep and stylish middle-aged man.

The bed in this room is not as soft as in the pink room, the sheets are light gray, and the other furniture placed are mainly in dark tones. In order to save space, it is relatively compact.

Seeing this, he wanted to look at the next grid, but Cheng Lang's eyes suddenly froze, and he stretched his neck subconsciously.

"...Jiang Thrush?"

A young boy in casual clothes was standing on the floor at the feet of a snoring middle-aged man, near the coffee table, slightly bent over to look at his phone.

It looked like he had been standing there for a while, but Cheng Lang couldn't find it.

——What a coincidence.

Today is Friday, why didn't he go to school?

Scholar still playing truant?

What is this for? He wants to buy this bed?

buy a bed? ? ?

Thinking of the figure he saw on the street that day, Cheng Lang hesitated for two seconds, got up and walked over.

Jiang Thrush is playing the animal restaurant.

The coffee table under his feet is similar to the one that was smashed by his mother at home. He has already notified the salesman who passed by just now. He goes to see the merchandise.

When Cheng Yan approached, he saw someone coming from the corner of his eye, but he didn't move, and continued to play with his phone with his head down, thinking that it was a customer who came to see the furniture.

The snoring of the man on the bed is really annoying, can that child shut up for a while, why hasn't the salesman come yet, it's been an hour since he skipped class, I really want to turn around and leave.

Wait a minute, it might be here soon.

...Ah, here is a new guest called...Ce'er?

The novice ski girl who broke her arm, Jiang Xuan looked at the list and introduction on the screen, and found that she was a little girl wearing a ski cap and carrying a ski, and she was a winter-limited guest.There are snowflakes in the vase to unlock it. The food you need to visit is grilled prawns, pizza, porridge, fermented bean curd and tomato scrambled eggs, which appear between December and February every year.

He hasn't played this game for long, and this is the second limited guest unlocked by his animal restaurant.

There is also a hamster unlocked in October, which is limited to autumn.

a little happy.

Immediately afterwards, a pleasant voice came from next to my ear: "Jiang Xuan?"

"..." The phone almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Xuan turned his head, thinking he was an acquaintance, and was recognized, so he felt a little irritable for some reason. The feeling of little happiness just now was swept away, and he said impatiently: "What are you doing?"

"..." Cheng Yan opened his mouth, saw Jiang Xuan's expression of being stunned after turning his head, and laughed, "If you change someone, you are already lying on the ground now, do you know?"

The milk is fierce and the milk is fierce.

Jiang Xuan was in a daze, reacted for two seconds, and asked very uncertainly: "...Cheng Hong?"

Almost called Cheng Da by the way.

"Well," Cheng Yan nodded, twitching the corners of his mouth, "What are you doing here? Not going to school?"

"Buy a coffee table, go."

Buy coffee table?Cheng Lang felt weird for a moment, subconsciously looked down at the tea table behind Jiang Xuan, and suppressed his curiosity.

"Skip class? Scholar?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to stare at the animal restaurant, as if he was not talking about me, swiped his finger, and the interface became a cafeteria, and then clicked on one of the part-time jobs to share in the mutual aid group, and then slowly Open the mouth: "Skipping class, Xueba."

"..." Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows and wanted to laugh a little, "I see, you mean you skipped class, and you are really a top student?"

Jiang Xuan didn't speak, just lowered his head, staring at the middle-aged man's feet in a daze.

Cheng Lang stood next to him for a while, and felt that this person didn't want to talk, or that he didn't want to talk to him, so he felt that he was making fun of it, so he came to say hello, but this one is too cool, no Willing to take care of him.

"Then I..."

"Are you buying a vase?" Jiang Xuan, who was silent, suddenly said.

"...Yes." Swallowing "Let's go first" into his stomach, Cheng Lang felt uncomfortable all over.

Talking to this kid is too much work.

"Do you like growing flowers?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

Cheng Lang: "No...why do you ask?"

"You buy a vase."

Cheng Lang: "..."

Sighing, he looked down at the long-necked vase, and explained: "This is from my office. That one is broken, and one corner is missing. I feel uncomfortable looking at it, so I came to buy a new one."

Jiang Xuan was silent for two seconds. He didn't know how to speak. He lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. When he spoke, he said dryly, "I'm here to buy it?"

"...It doesn't count, I'm passing by." Are all high school students like this?

"Oh." Jiang Xuan said.

Cheng Yan pursed his lips, not suppressing his curiosity, just about to ask him why he suddenly wanted to buy a coffee table, when a voice came from behind: "Director!"

Wang Xiangxiang and Daming stood beside the sofa where Cheng Lang was sitting just now, probably looking for him to go back together, Cheng Lang looked back, the gay little Liu and Wenwen at the entrance in the distance were drinking milk tea, probably they hadn't entered IKEA just now.

Wang Xiangxiang saw Cheng Yang turning her head back, and asked again: "Going back? It's getting late, and you've been absent from work for too long."

I didn't realize that I was the one who supported skipping work the most.

"Let's go," Cheng Yan nodded at her, turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan who raised his head when he heard the movement, and smiled kindly, "Then I'll go back to work first, you should go back early when you're done, bye."

Jiang Tong didn't know what he was thinking, he said "ah", and after a while he said stiffly, "Bye...bye."

Looking at the figure going away, Jiang Xuan glanced at the few people who obviously knew each other, feeling a little surprised.

He thought Cheng Hong came by himself, but he didn't.

There must be six or seven people, all of whom looked quite young, conservatively estimated to be no more than five years older than him.

There are men and women, and they are all very happy by the expressions. It is estimated that they have a good relationship with Cheng Hong.

There are so many people here to play?reunion?

What was that woman's name called Cheng Hong just now?

"...Director?"

Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and suddenly smiled.
