C213 Are You Here for the New Year's Eve Dinner?
When she returned home, she explained the situation in the police station. Perhaps it was because she was talking about the past, Hai Lanyin looked a little uncomfortable for a moment, but she was quickly brought over by everyone. The family temporarily put these matters aside and mobilized everyone to get busy for the New Year's Eve dinner.
... "At night, you can call Han Binn and his sister over. Their parents went early, and the two siblings are quite pitiful when they are alone." Hai Xiaomin's mother was already thinking about who to invite to have this meal with.
"They have something to do and can't come." Hai's father was arranging tables and chairs.
"Lanyin, will Tianqi come?" Hai Xiaomin's mother was not discouraged at all.
Hai Lanyin said helplessly, "Mom, Qiao family has an important dinner tonight."
"Really?" Hai Xiaomin's mother felt a little regretful. That was true. Every family had their own reunion on New Year's Eve, so how could they rush to someone else's house?
"But he said that he would come over after the banquet and stay with us to watch the New Year." Hai Lanyin added.
Hai Xiaomin's mother was immediately delighted. It seemed that Tianqi had made up his mind to be the son-in-law of Hai family. Speaking of son-in-law, she thought of another person. She turned her head and asked, "Xiaomin, what about you?"
Because of the injury on her hand, Hai Xiaomin could only choose vegetables and raise her head in puzzlement, "Me?"
Hai Xiaomin's mother was anxious and somewhat despised her daughter's brain, "Ling Yao, have you called to invite him?"
"I said, how much trouble do you need to have a New Year's Eve dinner?" Hai's father finally could not stand it anymore.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with having more people? What's wrong with having so many people around?" Hai Xiaomin's mother was not convinced and the two elders began to bicker again.
Hai Xiaomin and Hai Lanyin could only look at each other helplessly and shake their heads with a smile. But Hai Xiaomin's mother's words reminded Hai Xiaomin. She bit her finger and wondered if Ling Yao was free tonight.
She had not bought a new phone and she remembered Ling Yao's number. But in order to express her sincerity, Hai Xiaomin decided to make a trip personally.
LY Plaza.
Hai Xiaomin appeared at the door. She wore a long white knitted coat and a black Weibo post around her neck. She was wearing light brown high heels and small leather boots. Her smooth long hair was slanted to the left, only revealing a metal ring on the right. She looked confident and capable from inside out.
Her light make-up, elegant and beautiful, and her unique fragrance attracted the attention of others as soon as she entered.
There were no more people coming and going on the New Year's Eve. The empty hall on the first floor seemed a little deserted. The front desk was still standing there.
Hai Xiaomin did not know if Ling Yao was there, so she walked to the front desk and asked around.
The receptionist confirmed with the General Manager's Secret Room on the 38th floor. After a while, Jess came down personally to pick her up.
There was a series of low exclamations around. Jess's handsome blonde hair and blue eyes easily captured the hearts of the opposite sex. There were many female employees in the company who wanted to get him.
When the good-looking man and woman entered the elevator, a few women rushed to the front desk crazily and asked about what they had said earlier. This young woman who came to find Jess, could it be that she was his girlfriend?
If it was true, there would be a group of single women in the company who would cry and faint in the toilet.
The receptionist glanced at them calmly. Thinking back to the past, she had also received quite a fright because of this. Today, it was someone else's turn. She said lightly: "It's not Jess's girlfriend."
Everyone patted their chests and heaved a sigh of relief.
"She's here to find the CEO." The receptionist immediately added.
"Everyone was stunned. They realized that it was impossible. General Manager Ling was the national treasure prince charming in the company. How could he be touched by any woman?
If this was true, it would be the bad news for all the female compatriots in the company!
It must be those shameless women who wanted to cheat on him again!
That's right! Jess personally came down to welcome them. It could also be... Because of each other's background...
On the thirty-eighth floor, Jess brought Hai Xiaomin directly into the General Manager's office. There was no one inside. "Miss Hai, take a seat. The BOSS is currently in a meeting and needs you to wait for a while."1
"Okay." Hai Xiaomin did not restrain herself and sat down on the sofa. Jess sat opposite her. Soon, a secretary came in with two cups of coffee.
The secretary was also someone Hai Xiaomin knew. The latter had stayed on the 39th floor for a few days and was somewhat hypocritical with the secretary downstairs. When the secretary put down the coffee, he winked at her and smiled.
"Thank you." Hai Xiaomin replied with a smile as a greeting.
She watched her secretary leave and curiously asked Jess, "I saw that most of the employees in your company are on vacation, but there are not many employees on the 38th floor. Aren't you guys going to rest?"
Jess smiled and said, "Although LY is a foreign company, the Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China. So we need to more or less follow the local customs, but such a big company... It's impossible to stop all operations. Some posts still need to be left behind. As for the employees on the 38th floor, All of them have a very high annual salary. There are other arrangements for their vacations."
"Oh, I see..." Hai Xiaomin thoughtfully picked up the coffee and took a sip. There was no sugar in it. It was so bitter that her small face wrinkled. She put down the cup and continued to ask. "Then what about you and Ling Yao? Not resting on New Year's Eve?"
Jess held the coffee cup elegantly and smiled. "Miss Hai, you might not know. Just like I said before, LY is a foreign company, and Boss and I are also Americans. We don't really feel much about the traditional festivals in China."
Hai Xiaomin was slightly embarrassed. It turned out that they were all foreigners, but it was our traditional festival.
"Wait, isn't Ling Yao a foreigner?" Looking at his appearance, at least one of his parents was Han. He should be more or less interested in China's festivals, right?
Jess tilted his head and thought for a while. He felt that this information could be leaked to Hai Xiaomin, so he explained, "The boss's father is a pure American. The mother is of Eastern descent, but she is British. The boss actually does not have a deep relationship with China."
This result surprised Hai Xiaomin. "But Ling Yao's Mandarin is very standard. I can't tell at all..."
She was halfway through her sentence. How could she forget that Ling Yao was a genius who could familiarize himself with a foreign language in two days?
Jess also knew that she probably understood. He smiled and shook his head to add, "My Mandarin was also taught by the boss. It's just that I still can't learn it to his level..."
His Mandarin accent was still not very standard.
That was also true. Perverts like Ling Yao were almost impossible to copy.
As the two chatted, Ling Yao finished his meeting and pushed open the door to enter. He saw Hai Xiaomin at first glance and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Why are you here?" He asked in a low and cold voice. He walked to the desk and threw the folder under his armpit onto the table. He sat down on the leather chair as if he was tired.
