Before the annual meeting, when Tao Ran found his tuxedo at home, he happened to see Xu Yuan's.

Last year, they deliberately separated after the annual meeting. When he came back, Xu Yuan was already waiting for him in the bedroom.Before the two of them messed around, they finally remembered to take off their tuxedos.After that day, Xu Yuan kept forgetting to take his piece away.

No one guessed that it was the last annual meeting they attended together.

The next day, he took it to his former company and put it in the car.When Chang Zheng left, he excused himself to sort out the materials and stayed for a while, then went out of the garage to fetch the clothes, hung them in the common closet, and wrote a note to leave on Xu Yuan's desk.

I hope Xu Yuan can understand that he really does not want to meet each other.

No matter which company you are in, as long as the profitability is reasonable, the annual meeting is always full of feasts and clothes.But at times like this, the ones who enjoy the most are always the colleagues at the executive level.The management will lose their unsmiling and professional face on this night, and pick up a glass of wine to entertain everyone, which can be regarded as satisfying the curiosity of most people when they look up.

Of course Tao Ran would not like such an occasion.

The company's usual regulations follow the project. The two levels of assistant consultant and consultant are completely at their disposal. Senior consultants usually have project managers who often cooperate. Most project managers are united with partners, and they also form factions.When it was time to get together, the young people sat together spontaneously. Counting from the manager up, there were less than thirty people in total, and they all naturally sat down at the long table closest to the stage.In order to create a harmonious appearance, everyone consciously didn't sit according to the usual closeness at work, at least he really didn't know the few people around Tao Ran.

The collective program of the management team this year is a small sitcom led by the HR manager, in which the lines have been adapted according to the characteristics of the company. The meaning behind the words is that the grassroots work is hard, but everyone starts from scratch. The following The bosses actually understand the difficulties.

Bursts of energetic laughter broke out in the reserved restaurant. Judging from the effect, it should not be inferior to last year's Scallion Dance.

After a lively event, everyone changed their clothes and took their seats again.In order to be on stage with Chang Zheng later, Yang Bojun simply sat near them.It's a pity that Chang Zheng is not here.

"I heard that your project in your last company has been added again?"

The other party's pretty face was full of goodwill, and Tao Ran could only smile along with him: "Yes, it was originally just an organizational structure adjustment plan, and now we have to add an expansion plan."

"Isn't that the charm of the two of you, you can coax people to pay more money, please continue to work."

It was such a half-truth, half-false, half-concern and half-probing tone, no matter the annual party or other meetings, as long as you are still sitting among this group of people, you can't escape the tone.

"If you rely on charm to keep projects coming in, it's really worth it."

Everyone's vision is limited. Yang Baijun is obviously not interested in the topic of how the business came about: "It's all about the partners. The company belongs to them, not to me."

"I also think this mentality is necessary for things to be done well. It is already the best situation for everyone to perform their duties." Tao Ran casually responded, and turned to look at the stage. One of the senior partners was cooperating with the host I don't know how many rounds of lottery draws tonight: "Sometimes I see these big bosses are sanctimonious, and I feel very relieved. At least when they meet customers like this, they will not be inferior to their peers."

Yang Bojun laughed happily: "I like the word sanctimonious. It's just that when I see it, I usually think differently from you."

Tao Ran gave her a look willing to hear more about it.

"I always wonder how much this suit costs, whether it's the project I'm charging for."

At the level of a partner, there are bonuses in addition to the basic salary and project awards, and the income is not the same as that of employees at all levels below.Hatred of the rich is always a common feature of human beings. Including Tao Ran, the people in the surrounding seats laughed together with dignity.

Relying on a little alcohol, Yang Baijun's porcelain-white skin was stained with a beautiful glow.It's a pity that in this respect, Tao Ran is no different from a blind man, what a waste.

Chang Zheng wandered outside for a long enough time by accompanying a colleague to buy cigarettes. It was not until the rounds of cheers and silence caused by the lottery draw that he hurried back in time for the program preparation time arranged by personnel.

Handsome men and beautiful women, wonderful scenery in the world, and the children love the specious gossip between one boss and another boss. This dance has carried too much expectation from the beginning, so that when the two protagonists' steps start to move, the room is full of excitement. Most of the people unexpectedly agreed and quietly held their breath.

They chose the song PorUnaCabeza from Scent of a Woman.

Less than 3 minutes into the song, the last note fell, and under the chasing light, Yang Baijun's motion of leaning back and still clung to Chang Zheng's arms, solidifying into a thrilling bloom.

The applause exploded in an instant, and the waves of pines were endless, and the dancers bowed down to express their gratitude.At the table behind Tao Ran sat several young people who had done projects with Yang Baijun, and the whistles were harsh. Tao Ran stood up as lightly and quickly as possible, passed through the excited crowd, and walked to the terrace.

After waiting for a few minutes, Chang Zheng, who was wiping his face with a wet towel as he walked, appeared.

"I knew you would look at your phone..." He was busy changing his clothes just after he got off the stage, and his breath was still a little unsteady: "Fortunately, you read, I need your help with something."

Tao Ran turned his face to glance at him, and couldn't help revealing a teasing smile.

"Oh, they caught me and put some glitter on it. It's so fucking hard. It's hard to put on."

Tao Ran didn't intend to let go of the opportunity to hurt him: "What are you rubbing, isn't it good, bright and blind."

The usual brisk smile on Chang Zheng's face gradually cooled down, and Tao Ran felt strangely that he had suddenly unloaded a lot of things.In the humid evening wind, the two of them faced the colorful and bright night side by side, and neither of them spoke easily.

Out of intuition, or in other words, out of a more subtle understanding, he felt that at this moment, what Chang Zheng needed was silence.

"I couldn't find a shorter dance piece than this."

As if it was the first time, Tao Ran heard helplessness in the other party's voice.

"A little more help is better than a little less."

The two sentences that are wrong with the bull's head can't be more straightforward.Chang Zheng fell into a longer silence this time.

It wasn't until someone in the room called Chang Zheng's name outside, laughing and shouting to him to go back to drink, that the deadlocked silence was suddenly awakened.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"I don't think it's good tonight. If I drink too much, you must send me back."

Tao Ran still wanted to ask a few more questions, but the colleagues in the room had already made a gesture to come over to invite someone.Chang Zheng had no choice but to agree to go back, and while walking, turned his head and threw him a "please", Tao Ran could only nod.

That night Chang Zheng was able to escape unscathed, in hindsight, it was really thanks to Tao Ran not forgetting to ask what this sentence helped.

Drunken and not making trouble is called good wine, like Chang Zheng who doesn't say a word, but his footsteps are a little unsteady, he is like an angel after drinking.

Miss Yang Baijun's Sima Zhao's heart is seen by half of the company. Chang Zheng's instruction is at least half to prevent her from taking the opportunity to do something.

The other half was that many people in the company were jealous of his promotion, and they waited for the opportunity of the annual meeting to force him to death.

Tao Ran spent a lot of thought, and finally managed to drag Chang Zheng out, stuffed him into a taxi, and got in himself.He didn't intend to help Chang Zheng stop a lot of drinking, but after seeing that the kid who was afraid of chaos in the world ordered several rounds of tequila, he had no choice but to go over and say that Boss Chang can't drink with you anymore, and you are all at me Come.

The stunned youths on alcohol immediately thought that the two of them were in the same group, so at the end of the quarrel, Tao Ran also drank at least three kinds of wine into his stomach.

Jiu Jin was so uncomfortable that he didn't even want to say a word, the car drove on the elevated road, Tao Ran rolled down the window and relied on the wind to keep awake.

"...Turn it down a bit, my stomach hurts, I'm covered in cold sweat, I don't want to blow the wind."

The slightly drunk brain was very dull, and Tao Ran suddenly remembered that Chang Zheng was a living person and not a burden.To complete the task of sending him home, one must always pay attention to how others are doing.

"Why does my stomach hurt?"

"I don't know, I've never had such a problem." Chang Zheng found that his voice was shaking, and hurriedly looked for the key in his pocket: "I'll give you the key first, later..."

When he said this, he paused. Tao Ran turned to look at him with a blank expression on his face: "I didn't bring the key? In the coat I wore during the day?"

At that moment, Chang Zheng almost thought that he was going to misunderstand himself.

Fortunately, Tao Ran, who had been drinking, was not as unreasonable as he was during working hours. He just smiled slightly, as if he didn't have the energy to waste his words, and explained briefly: "I used to be in this situation all the time, and I couldn't get in." The door of my own house was specially changed to the combination lock later.”

Chang Zheng sighed wearily: "It seems that I should change too. So what should I do now?"

Tao Ran originally wanted to answer that he could just find a hotel, but when he turned around and saw Chang Zheng clutching his stomach, he watched for a long time, and finally resigned himself to thinking that maybe he was wrong in agreeing to him.
