Xu Yuan's self-esteem was injured, even if he wanted to recover his blood, it would take time.Chang Zheng and Xu Yuan were only here to work on the project, occupying a small meeting room, and lived in seclusion from morning to night. Except for coming in for work, going out after work, and having lunch at noon, they never set foot in the open office area.Like this, I have never met again.

Probably because he saw a good show when we first met, and the cooperation was really smooth and enjoyable, Tao Ran let go of Chang Zheng's wariness day by day, and after a few weeks, there was actually a tacit understanding of a very happy conversation.

Whether in front of clients or colleagues, Chang Zheng has a unique sense of ease.It seems that he has lived in his thirties and has seen enough of the market, and nothing can make him feel the slightest bit uneasy or nervous.

A demeanor of pine and emptiness is really hard to hate.

Just when the impressions of both of them were successfully developing in the direction of mutual respect among colleagues, they received an email at the same time, from the HR Department, specifically informing them of the preparations for the annual meeting.

It is probably because every year there are people who use the excuse of being busy with the project to shirk the management's task of producing a program. At the end of the email, they specifically added a sentence, asking all management personnel to attend the preparatory meeting at [-] pm this Friday.

Those who cannot attend, attend via video.

It's weird to think about holding your own company's casual meeting with your own company and video conferencing, so it's better to admit it and go back.On Friday afternoon, Chang Zheng didn't arrange anything at all. After lunch, he wrote a report, Tao Ran came forward to say hello to the old monster, and they were ready to leave.

"How about it, did you make things difficult for you?"

"No, really not." Tao Ran walked out of the automatic door, rubbing his eyes subconsciously: "The French people are probably very keen on things like annual meetings and performances, and when I said it was a preparatory meeting, he happily called me Hurry up and go."

Chang Zheng looked at him strangely and rubbed it endlessly: "What's wrong with your eyes, they were fine just now."

Tao Ran had lingering fears: "Today he wore a bright yellow shirt, and he smiled as if he was acting... My eyes hurt."

Chang Zheng laughed for a long time before recovering his voice: "Hey, I didn't drive today."

After getting along for a while, Tao Ran has figured out Chang Zheng's temper that doesn't like to talk too much, which suits him well: "Oh, then you can take my car."

It was still the fully transparent elevator, so the turbidity of the air outside could be seen clearly. Tao Ran hated all things that looked dirty, so he couldn't help frowning: "Is it heavy pollution again today?"

Chang Zheng took out his mobile phone and took a look, then sighed: "That's right, it's more than two hundred. In fact, it's pretty good here. I've been in the north for a few years, so I really can't stay here. Every now and then, the visibility Zero meters, you can’t even see the dog when you walk the dog.”

Tao Ran was amused: "You still had a dog at that time? You took drugs yourself, and you harmed the dog?"

"If you want to say that, I'm really sorry for the dog. When I moved, I drove it here, but it had such a good relationship with the dog next door. When it was broken up, both parties went on hunger strike to protest. Later, I asked someone to take it back. , it happened that the family next door wanted to raise it.”

"so?"

Speaking of pets, Tao Ran's tone obviously softened, and Chang Zheng suddenly found it quite interesting: "So, my dog ​​is still staying in the north and continues to take drugs."

He was about to go back to face the people in the room, Chang Zheng was fine, Tao Ran really felt like he was in a state of combat readiness.Chang Zheng must have considered his mood, and specially found some interesting topics to chat with him all the time.

A new project manager and a new partner are natural allies.Regardless of whether this kind of help is due to political considerations or other reasons that are more difficult to distinguish, Tao Ran appreciates him.

The interior space of the car is quite large, and Tao Ran Leng didn't put any decorations. The car air purifier, adapter plug, navigator, and driving recorder are all dark and light metallic gray, which is very neat and boring.Chang Zheng looked around, but couldn't arouse any interest in praise, so he had to continue looking for topics.

"You've just arrived, so you can't compare with other old fritters. You won't be able to escape the show at the annual meeting. What are your plans?"

"I'm simple, playing the piano."

Chang Zheng turned his head and watched the cars outside being overtaken by him one after another, holding onto the handrail with a little fear: "...you will save trouble, with this skill, you will never have to worry about it."

Tao Ran smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, and played him some random music.

"Yo, we are music blind, we only deserve to listen to Canon, right?"

"How did I know it happened to be Canon." The setting sun was dazzling, and Tao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a rare laziness: "You can change it as you like, or you can put it in your mobile phone, I can do it."

"You guys are like this..." Chang Zheng really didn't have such a friend, so he thought for a while before saying, "Someone who has studied for a few years, do you usually listen to pop music?"

"I can't understand domestic pop music for a long time now. I'm probably getting old and will be abandoned by time." Although Tao Ran is used to driving fast, he always brakes steadily: "I'm not picky, I'm a little old I also listen to popular ones, but I prefer more melodic ones."

Chang Zheng decided to comment less on things he didn't understand.

When the two stood side by side in the elevator again, the silence warmed by the sun gradually faded away. After all, they had been together day and night for a while, and the frequency of each other's breathing changed, which could be heard too clearly in the small space.

Chang Zheng looked at Tao Ran's back that was slowly straightening, and said in a low voice: "What will happen with this kind of situation, it's not a job report."

After all, this is the first time to meet all the partners and senior partners. It is always good to be cautious when the ranks are placed here.Tao Ran turned around and nodded at him, took the initiative to give way, and asked Chang Zheng to go ahead and push the door of the meeting room.

The laughter in the room paused slightly, and the HR manager immediately stood up and greeted: "I'm waiting for you, welcome."

Chang Zheng looked as if he had returned to his living room: "We're not late."

In occasions where there are many men, the women who can attend are always particularly dazzling. Yang Baijun, the best female project manager in the company so far, took up the conversation with a smile: "How dare you say that Boss Chang is late. We are just guessing, what are you planning to do this year?" It’s an ingenious and good program, isn’t it?”

"Isn't this according to your arrangement? Last year's... The Song of Scallions, isn't it? It's really enough. If you want to dance, you must dance, but don't look for me."

Everyone burst into laughter.Tao Ran thought about the tune of the onion song, and then looked at the table of people in suits and leather shoes in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

"Last year, Bai Jun came up with a good idea. The dance was a bit silly, but the kids outside who hated us had a lot of fun watching it. It must be considered a good show."

Personnel has always had a good personal relationship with Yang Baijun, and he did not forget to give her a hand while smiling.

Bai Jun is a typical urban beauty. From her smile to her hairstyle to her fingertips, everything is exquisite, but she smiles with sincerity, which makes it difficult to look away: "I don't care about this year's group show, I only have A wish..."

With that said, a pair of beautiful eyes turned to Chang Zheng: "It's just that Boss Chang can dance with me alone."

Everyone loves the story of the golden boy and the jade girl. Yang Baijun and Chang Zheng are really eye-catching. For a while, most of the eyes on the table fell on Chang Zheng.

The person being watched smiled indifferently, and nodded at her: "It's a great honor, it just saves me from thinking about the show."

There was no trace of honor in his expression, Yang Bojun saw it and didn't take it seriously.She is so indifferent, it looks like she is determined to win.Chang Zheng was completely unmoved, and only maintained a casual smile.

Inexplicably, Chang Zheng's attitude of neither rejecting nor warming seemed to have a hedgehog stuffed in Tao Ran's heart.

The first half of the meeting was chaired by the HR manager, who reiterated the importance of annual meeting performances for company culture building and team cohesion, and then shared wonderful photos of annual meetings over the years.Colleagues who were forced to attend by video lined up in two rows of embarrassed faces on the computer screen, which was very funny to watch.

The second half is actually everyone signing up one after another.After some small programs that require cooperation are claimed, they can go to the corner to rehearse on the spot.

Tao Ran's program has nothing to do with anyone, and it's not easy to leave the conference room alone, so he just picks his phone bored.When the personnel manager found out, he quickly sat down and chatted with him about learning and playing the piano.

Being slick and slick is also someone else's responsibility, Tao Ran was very considerate, so he talked with her.

"What do you think we dance? Rumba or Cha Cha?"

Yang Bojun's enthusiastic voice gradually came over.

"Can you still dance cha-cha?"

"Alright Chang Zheng, you underestimate me."

"Don't dare, let's do tango. I'm more familiar with it, so I can practice less."

"I saw it last time. You must be able to. It's not the same as everyone's clumsy learning."

"Bai Jun is scolding me? When you asked me back then, didn't I deny it? Now that I have learned it, how can I compare with others with a blank sheet of paper? If you say that, I feel ashamed of the teacher."

"It's just a joke, Boss Chang, don't take it seriously. I haven't cooperated with you in the pas de deux. The group dance last time doesn't count. How about we go downstairs?"

The company has a full-time card for all employees in a large gym downstairs, and people often go there at noon and after get off work.There is a dance room and a yoga room, which are suitable for practicing dance alone.

Misunderstood, Tao Ran raised his head and glanced at Chang Zheng when he heard this.Coincidentally, I met Chang Zheng's looking for him.

His eyes were very dull, but Tao Ran read his intentions accurately.

help me.

"Our golden boy and jade girl are discussing going downstairs to practice dancing, but they want to carry us behind their backs—"

Tao Ran's timely words quickly caught the attention of several good-for-nothings, so they gathered around and clamored for Chang Zheng and Yang Bojun to do a few moves here, and let everyone appreciate it first.

Chang Zheng coped with it, trying to take time to give him a grateful look, but he couldn't find Tao Ran.

Before you know it, the person has disappeared.
