summer fireworks

One week after the award results were announced, the Assistant Department sent out all the award-winning emails.

Xiao Zhao stared at his subordinates after sending the emails, then went to Song Zhilin to sign with a stack of folders. After the annual meeting tonight, they will be on vacation. She doesn't want to stay and work overtime.

Song Zhilin had already finished handling all the work, and was waiting to see Xiao Zhao's stack of documents. Seeing her enter the office, she took the folder, looked quickly at it, and asked, "Have you finished sending all the emails?"

"It's over," Xiao Zhao said happily, "After you finish reading these documents, we can meet there last year."

Starlight Media's annual meeting this year is still grand. It hired a famous hotel banquet hall in the city, and invited a professional etiquette company to set up the set and stage.

When Song Zhilin and Xiao Zhao signed in for the annual meeting, more than half of the company's people had already arrived, chatting and drinking at the buffet table, discussing the night's program list and the lucky draw.

As soon as Song Zhilin entered the banquet hall, she saw the employees of the TV department eating dessert together. Seeing her coming, someone waved to her: "Boss, this way!"

She walked over to her subordinates, Xiao Zhao handed her the bag in his hand, Song Zhilin took it, walked up to the subordinates, took out a handful of red envelopes, and each of them smiled: "I have worked hard this year, today is fun, relax for a moment."

"Wow! Thank you boss! There are also red envelopes!" The employees booed after taking the red envelopes.

"The boss can't be partial, we don't have red envelopes from the TV department!"

Employees from other departments started laughing, and were immediately slapped back by employees from the TV department:

"Didn't the company give out red envelopes just now! This is a benefit from our boss, I'm going to ask your boss to go!"

"Eccentric, your boss is also our boss!"

Song Zhilin smiled and said, "I have everything." After finishing speaking, she signaled Xiao Zhao to give out red envelopes to others.

When Director Chen saw that this was obviously an act to win people's hearts, he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. Just as Xiao Zhao stuffed a red envelope into his hand, he had to smile and said, "Happy New Year."

Xiao Zhao came back after distributing a round of red envelopes, and whispered to Song Zhilin: "It's fine to exchange a red envelope for a happy new year, otherwise I don't know what to say about us."

Song Zhilin smiled, and changed the subject: "It's about to start, I'll take a look at the speech."

At Starlight Media's annual meeting, the CEO is usually the first to speak.

Song Zhilin's speech was written concisely. She knew very well that no employee would want to listen to the leader's long speech at the annual meeting. She only said some important points, and within 5 minutes, she announced that the annual meeting could begin.

The employees in the audience cheered, and the host came up with a smile on his microphone, and began to let the first department come up to perform.

Song Zhilin went back to the auditorium and sat down, took a glass of light sparkling wine from the buffet table and drank it slowly, counting the time in her mind, when would she be able to go back to accompany Yan Shu.

It's not a few days until the New Year's Eve. Today, the annual meeting is over, and she can have a holiday.

The school had already started the winter vacation, and after Yan Shu didn't have to attend Zhang Lao's lectures, he basically stayed at home drawing or watching movies.

Zhang Lao's studio is not closed, and because Zhang Lao lives alone and lonely because of his age, he will go to the studio from time to time, so many students still stay in the studio to paint, but Yan Shu lives a thousand miles away from the studio Far away, at most, I just go to see her every now and then, lest Mr. Zhang forget her.

After Song Zhilin finished his glass of wine, half of the program list for the annual meeting was over. The host announced the start of the lottery draw, and there was a burst of cheers from around. Xiao Zhao reminded in a low voice, "It's time to give out red envelopes."

"I know."

Song Zhilin put the cup on the small coffee table next to her, stepped on the stage with high heels, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's see who this year's Ou Huang is."

She casually took out a bunch of red envelopes from the lottery box, all of which were the names of the employees. While the host was announcing the prizes, Song Zhilin opened the red envelopes and called the winning employees.

After the jubilant lottery session, it was even more popular to win red envelopes by answering questions.

After Song Zhilin drew the prizes, seeing the heated atmosphere at the scene, she asked Xiao Zhao, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

"No more," Xiao Zhao flipped through the schedule, the photos had already been taken, the speeches were finished, after the lottery session, there would be no arrangements related to Song Zhilin at the annual meeting, "It's time to have fun."

Song Zhilin sat for 5 minutes and said to Xiao Zhao, "I'm leaving first, I need to call."

Song Zhilin got up to get her coat and walked out of the banquet hall. Xiao Zhao looked at her back and sighed inwardly: People who fall in love are different...

The driver sent Song Zhilin to the gate of the community. Song Zhilin got out of the car, just in time to see a grandmother holding a foam cardboard and selling candied haws by the side of the road.

Under the thick shade of the trees, the dim street lamps stretched her shadow very long, and there was a special kind of loneliness.

Song Zhilin walked over and saw the last few candied haws left on her cardboard, and said, "Wrap it up for me, I'll take it away."

Grandma was overjoyed, she stood here for a long time, it got dark early in winter, there was no one around at this point, and the last few of her candied haws were left, which could not be sold, Song Zhilin suddenly appeared and said that she would buy them all, She was so happy that her hands shaking candied haws.

Song Zhilin paid the money and went upstairs with candied haws. After opening the door, Yan Shu was watching a movie on the sofa.

Seeing Song Zhilin open the door and come in, she paused the movie, and ran to Song Zhilin in her socks: "You're back, what is this?"

She took the bag from Song Zhilin's hand and exclaimed, "Candied haws! There are so many!"

"Try to see if it tastes good." Song Zhilin changed her slippers, saw that Yan Shu was not wearing shoes again, smiled helplessly, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and put them by her feet, "running around in socks again."

"I'm used to it."

Yan Shu stuck out his tongue, took out a candied haws from the bag, and couldn't wait to take a bite: "It's so sweet."

Song Zhilin also took a candied haws, sat on the sofa with her, and said, "There is no floor heating here...you still need to wear shoes."

They won't be able to move into their house until next year at least. This winter has just begun. Although the air conditioner is turned on every day, the floor is still cold. If Yan Shu doesn't remember to wear shoes, she will catch three or five colds in one winter.

Song Zhilin bit the candied haws, pondered for a while, and asked, "During the Chinese New Year...won't you come to my house?"

Yan Shu was biting into candied haws, and almost choked on hearing this.

She's not ready to live with Grandma Song yet!Not to mention living with Grandma Song, even if she had a New Year's Eve dinner with Grandma Song, she would be nervous.

Is Song Zhilin afraid that grandma will be alone during the New Year?I heard that people tend to be lonely when they get old. Zhang Lao spends the New Year with students who don’t go back to his hometown to accompany him. Grandma Song’s granddaughter is by her side, but it’s not good to not celebrate the New Year together?

Yan Shu thought wildly, and asked worriedly: "Isn't this... a little bad?"

She also couldn't tell what she was saying was not good, whether it was not good to stay after the New Year's Eve dinner, or it was not good to leave after the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Is it bad?" Song Zhilin scratched her head in trouble, "But my house has floor heating."

If they lived together at her house during this winter, Yan Shu would be able to walk on the ground wearing only socks.

The house she bought is big, and it won't be crowded for three people to live in. When their house can be moved in, she and Yan Shu can just go out and live.

Yan Shu stared at her blankly, she never expected that Song Zhilin's proposal of "living in the past" was for such a simple reason.

She really doesn't remember to wear slippers. She used to have underfloor heating at home, and it was turned on all day long in winter. Let alone walking on the ground with socks on, it was fine to step on it barefoot.

Of course, this small apartment does not have floor heating, but the habits formed over the years are not so easy to change, and Yan Shu also thinks it is convenient to wear only socks, Song Zhilin has reminded her many times, but she still can't remember.

She had thought so much just now, but she didn't expect that Song Zhilin just didn't want her to step on the unheated floor without wearing slippers.

Seeing Yan Shu in a daze, Song Zhilin asked, "What's wrong?"

She observed Yan Shu's expression, secretly wondering if Yan Shu was unwilling to live there.

Although her house over there is big, is it as big as Yan Shu's own house?What's more, Yan Shu didn't know her grandma that well, so it's normal that she didn't want to live there.

"No, no," Yan Shu shook his head, "Then let's stay at your place during the Chinese New Year."

Song Zhilin asked: "Is it okay to live with my grandma?"

"Okay, grandma is so nice," Yan Shu smiled sweetly, "It's not easy for the old man to live alone for the New Year's Eve."

After hearing Yan Shu's words, Song Zhilin smiled guiltily: "She spent the New Year alone for so many years. I went abroad for university, and then I was busy with work in City A. In fact, I didn't spend much time with her."

A huge and heavy feeling hit Yan Shu, it was hard for her to tell what it was, she just felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere emanating from Song Zhilin's body, wrapping her in it, Yan Shu felt at that moment She understood that she was touching Song Zhilin's heart, touching the part of Song Zhilin that she hadn't told anyone else.

Yan Shu felt happy, sad, and a little guilty.

She finally saw Song Zhilin's true appearance, but she couldn't help Song Zhilin.She couldn't comfort Song Zhilin, Yan Shu didn't try to say a word, he already knew that he couldn't comfort her.

At this time, how could she be happy because her relationship with Song Zhilin was one step closer?Yan Shu felt guilty again.

She put her arms around Song Zhilin's shoulders, and there were two bare candied gourd bamboo sticks on the tea table. The cold white light fell on them, which made Yan Shu feel dazzling.

Yan Shu looked away and put his forehead against Song Zhilin's, avoiding something obvious.

She said softly, "Let's go there tomorrow."
