    Chapter 32

    Although Xu Xingxing signed up, she was still a little worried about whether she would be selected. After all, there are so many talents in the company, it is too ordinary for her to only play the piano solo.

    It was not until she and Chen Wanwan were discussing work in the lounge the day before the holiday that she received a message that she had been pulled into a group called "IO Year-end End Teeth Performance Group", and she didn't feel relieved.

    Being selected to perform, Xu Xingxing was a little excited. Chen Wanwan, who was on the side, looked at the news posted in the group, and said happily: "Look, I said that I can be selected. We are doing big things. Not only do we have to be selected for performances, but also to win awards."

    As soon as Chen Wanwan finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from her side. The two looked up, and Li Miaoxue walked gracefully past with the document.

    Chen Wanwan's temple jumped, she patted the table and got up: "Hi, you Li Miaoxue..."

    Xu Xingxing quickly stopped her and did not let her continue.

    There are only two shows in their department, she and Li Miaoxue, not to mention that they have conflicts in the first place. Li Miaoxue has won awards every year for her performances for many years, so she naturally dislikes her performance.

    Besides, her performance was not for Li Miaoxue's fancy, she just wanted to make a breakthrough. Therefore, Xu Xingxing didn't care about Li Miaoxue's ridicule towards her.

    Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Xu Xingxing received a notice from the group that he was going to a meeting about the performance at the annual meeting. Discuss what you need for costumes and performances, and arrange for staff to purchase.

    IO's annual meeting is handed over to the annual meeting planning company to undertake, but the IO Human Resources Department also has its own company culture team. The planning, director and equipment of the annual meeting are all handed over to the annual meeting planning company, but the material procurement, clothing, and program rehearsal required for the annual meeting are all handled by the cultural team. Finally, when the rehearsal takes shape, Minister Luan from the Human Resources Department will come to watch the final rehearsal.

    Regarding the program arrangement, the cultural group has already discussed it internally. Xu Xingxing's show was neither painful nor itchy, and was arranged in the middle. Li Miaoxue was in charge of the opening and finale, and she performed two dances in total.

    Many people in the cultural group have participated in the preparation of the annual meeting many times, and Li Miaoxue has performed at the annual meeting many times, so most of them are familiar with her. Song Youling, the cultural team leader in charge of the rehearsal program, chatted with Li Miaoxue when she first arrived.

    Xu Xingxing didn't pay much attention to it. She was looking at her mobile phone, which had pictures of several performance costumes sent by Tang Didi, who was in charge of costumes in the cultural group.

    These outfits are all long dresses with rhinestones and gold edging, which are noble and elegant. But every outfit also has a problem, that is, a large piece of the chest is exposed, which makes Xu Xingxing a little unacceptable.

    When Tang Didi was done, Xu Xingxing grabbed her and asked, "Is this the only set of costumes for the performance?"

    The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, I picked them, they are all pretty."

    After listening to her words, Xu Xingxing said a little embarrassedly: "It's pretty, but is there a slightly taller one. I'm a little afraid of the cold."

    As soon as Xu Xingxing finished speaking, Tang Didi was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. She is not tall and has a cheerful personality, and her smile attracts many people to look here. She quickly covered her mouth, coughed twice, and said, "It won't be cold, so why cover it, it looks good like this."

    After hearing Tang Didi's laughter, Song Youling came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

    Tang Didi quickly said with a smile, "Miss Xu said it would be cold to wear this dress."

    "Let's take a look." Song Youling took Xu Xingxing's mobile phone, took two pictures, frowned and sighed slightly, and said, "These dresses are all good and easy to wear. When the air conditioner is turned on in the auditorium, it won't work. cold."

    As soon as Song Youling said it, Xu Xingxing felt that she was being hypocritical. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

    When Song Youling came over, Li Miaoxue followed. After listening to the ins and outs, she rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone wears it like this. Team leader Song has been arranging shows for so many years and has his own experience. Don't do anything special, Let others tell how our translation department is doing."

    Now that she has decided to perform, she naturally obeys how others arrange her. Xu Xingxing didn't care about Li Miaoxue's words, and just said to Song Youling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you."

    "It's all right." Song Youling handed her the phone and said to Xu Xingxing, "I watched the piano solo video you recorded, but I'm still a little unfamiliar. It's time to play under the eyes of the company's executives. You have to practice. Make no mistake."

    Xu Xingxing nodded and said, "Okay."

    After the meeting, Xu Xingxing went home first. She fed Mimi cat food and went out. Under the street lamp next to the door of the apartment, the man was already waiting in the car. Xu Xingxing got up and walked over, opened the door and got in the car.

    The streetlight shone through the front window of the car, illuminating half of the faces of both of them.

    Huaijing raised her chin slightly and glanced at the thing in the woman's arms, and asked, "Want to make dumplings?"

    With a small plastic bag of flour in his hand, Xu Xingxing put it aside and nodded. The sound of the wind outside the car window was mixed with some firecrackers.

    "Today is the calendar year." Xu Xingxing said to the man's gaze.

    The woman's round eyes were slightly opened, her rosy lips pursed into a line, and she seemed to be looking forward to it, and there was a ray of light in her eyes.

    "Is that so." Huai Jing nodded and smiled, started the car, and drove away from the street lights.

    Huaicheng has a tradition of celebrating the New Year of the Gregorian calendar, which is much simpler than the Spring Festival. Just hang up two strings of firecrackers, make some dumplings, and have a reunion dinner with your loved ones back from vacation.

    A lot has happened to her this year, first her ex-husband cheated, and then she got divorced. After the divorce, she came to Xiacheng, got a job she liked, was appreciated by her boss, and also had a small shop of her own. Although she was not reunited with her family today, she still wanted to celebrate her new life.

    At Huaijing's house, Xu Xingxing went to the kitchen with the ingredients.

    The woman was a little excited even when she walked.

    Are you so happy?

    Huaijing's brows filled with tenderness, and she got up and walked to the kitchen.

    The kitchen of Huaijing's house is three-sided, with kitchen counters on the front and left and right sides. In addition, there is a kitchen table in the middle with a length of five meters, a width of one meter and a height of 1.2 meters.

    This kitchen table was originally used to put things, but his house was hardly open, so it was empty, glowing coldly under the orange light.

    Xu Xingxing put the things he brought on the kitchen table, went to the side to take a panel and rinsed it, and placed it flat on the kitchen table.

    Making dumplings is a complicated job, but she does it in an orderly manner. After putting the panel down, Xu Xingxing poured the flour on top, forming a hill. Then he made a small hole in the middle with his hands, poured the water into it, and started to mix it meticulously.

    This kitchen table is a bit high for her. When Xu Xingxing was mixing the face, he needed to tiptoe and lift his body before pressing his face down.

    She was with her for a while, raised her hand and brushed the broken hair on her cheek, her movements were small and demure, gentle and touching.

    Huai Jing's eyes moved, and she got up and walked in.

    Aware that he was walking in, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes to look at him, and whispered, "It's enough to have a good noodle, I'll make the stuffing at home."

    The woman raised her head, and there was a small piece of flour on her cheek, because she was rubbed away by the action just now, and the tiny flour particles adhered to her skin, which was pretty and lovely.

    Huaijing stood behind her, hugged her from behind with both hands, leaned over and kissed her cheek lightly. Xu Xingxing stood on tiptoe, and because the man was leaning against her, her body leaned against the kitchen counter.

    Xu Xingxing leaned forward to support the kitchen table, she felt the man's breathing between her neck, her heart moved, and she realized what he wanted to do.

    Huaijing's hands clenched hard, making her turn around and face him. The woman grabbed his arms with both hands, leaving two faint white handprints.

    Huaijing's eyes darkened, she bent down and kissed the woman's slightly moving lips, the kiss was fine and lingering.

    "It's too slow to do this. Come with me first, and I'll pack it for you. Huh?"

    The last sentence of the man's ending rose, tying her heart like a thin thread.

    Xu Xingxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, her cheeks were hot, and she looked at him suspiciously.

    "Really...really?"

    The woman's brows and eyes were full of tenderness like water, drawing out all his desires. He kissed her ear, bit her slightly hot earlobe, and promised.

    "real."

    Xu Xingxing's body completely relaxed. She rested her back on the cool kitchen counter and felt the man's hot lips and teeth moving towards her neck. The feeling of the teeth rubbing against the skin made Xu Xingxing feel a little excited.

    "This... No, performance dress..."

    She confirmed the performance dress these days, most of the dress will show the neck, she does not want people to see the teeth marks.

    The man's eyes stopped, and he came to her collarbone along her neck. The beautiful collarbone was warm. Before he opened his mouth, the woman supported his chest and whispered.

    "This... that's not going to work either."

    In the case of a dress, it is normal to show the collarbone.

    Huaijing followed her collarbone and lowered her head to kiss the depths of the woman's collarbone. Just as she was about to bite down, the woman put her hands on her chest.

    He raised his head suddenly, the woman in his arms bit his lower lip, and said in a trembling voice, "This..."

    The man's eyes sank and asked, "Can this be exposed?"

    "Well..." Xu Xingxing confirmed in a low voice.

    Huai Jing: "..."

    The venue for the IO Group Annual Meeting is the auditorium of the Saint Qian Hotel near the IO Building. The costumes were purchased within a week after the actors selected their costumes at the last meeting. As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Tang Didi informed the performers in the group to go to the auditorium on the third floor of the Shengqian Hotel to try on the clothes.

    The St. Thousand Hotel is a five-star hotel, and the IO Group annual meeting is held in one of its largest auditoriums. The entire auditorium is about 1,000 square meters and is luxuriously decorated. Although they are both five-star, the best five-star hotel in Huaicheng is incomparable with the Shengqian Hotel.

    The auditorium where the annual meeting is held is called Yiqing Hall, and the innermost side is a large LED screen and a stage. Behind the big screen is the dressing room and the preparation room, and the group was arranged to enter as soon as they arrived.

    Tang Didi stood in front of a pile of boxes and said to the visitor: "The box with your name written is your costume, everyone should change it according to the sequence of the show. After changing, Team Leader Song waited outside, and everyone went to the stage wearing costumes. Go for a walk."

    Xu Xingxing walked to the box, opened the box with her name on it, and took out her clothes. Although the performance dress is only used once, the quality of the costume is not bad for the performance effect.

    She stood in line in front of the locker room door, looking down at the clothes in her hands.

    This dress is already the least revealing of all the dresses Tang Didi gave her, a tube top dress. There is also a fan-shaped brooch in front of the long skirt, which can cover the exposed chest on the left, but it can't do anything on the right.

    While Xu Xingxing was watching, the locker room door in front of him opened. When she looked up, she saw Li Miaoxue who had changed into her costume.

    Li Miaoxue is responsible for the lead dance of the opening dance. The opening dance is a hot dance, and the clothes are relatively hot. Below is a miniskirt and above is a loose hooded T-shirt with a bare belly. Every move and every move makes people think.

    In fact, Li Miaoxue's body is not so exposed, just because she seems to have deliberately bought a smaller size. So when the hands are raised, the T-shirt is lifted, revealing the lower half of the chest.

    She has chest stickers inside.

    Pushing the door out, he saw Xu Xingxing standing outside. Li Miaoxue looked at the look on her face when she observed herself, and after a cold snort, got up and walked out.

    Tang Didi informed in advance yesterday that he would come to try on clothes today, so Xu Xingxing prepared chest stickers. Putting the cold chest sticker on, Xu Xingxing took off his clothes and put on his long skirt.

    There was no mirror in the dressing room, but Xu Xingxing could see a large piece of spring light on his chest as soon as he lowered his head. Fortunately, Huaijing had stopped her from biting her in the past few days, and there were no bite marks on the exposed areas.

    Xu Xingxing went out of the locker room door after some psychological construction.

    Outside the door, Tang Didi was arranging for other people to change clothes. Seeing Xu Xingxing coming out, his eyes lit up, and after a "hoo", he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so good? She has to cover her body even in a dress. What a waste!"

    She is small but has a loud voice. With those words, everyone in the locker room focused on her. Xu Xingxing's face was hot, and he covered his chest unnaturally.

    Tang Didi smiled. She knew that Xu Xingxing's usual dressing style was so revealing at first glance, she must not be used to it. Outside Song Youling called for the next one, and Tang Didi motioned for Xu Xingxing to go out, cheering her up with a smile.

    "Be confident, it's really pretty."

    "Thank you." Xu Xingxing thanked softly. Although Tang Didi said this, Xu Xingxing still felt awkward and embarrassed. She covered her hands in front of her chest, and when she came to the stage, she gritted her teeth and put her hands down.

    The lights on the stage were very bright, and Xu Xingxing felt a lot of emptiness in his heart as soon as he went up.

    Under the stage, Song Youling was talking to someone.

    "Today is just a costume trial, not a rehearsal, so there is no special performance..." She explained with a smile.

    She was standing under the stage talking, and the person listening to her, glanced down at the program list, and asked lightly.

    "This lady is performing a piano solo?"

    Xu Xingxing returned to his senses and turned to look down the stage.

    Under the stage, the man stood in the middle of a group of people and looked up at her, with a faint smile in his light brown eyes.

    As soon as their eyes met, one was surprised and the other was calm.

    Xu Xingxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after taking his eyes back, he nodded.

    "Yes, Mr. Huai."

    After Song Youling glanced at Xu Xingxing, she turned around and said to Huai Jing, "This is Mr. Huai, because the piano is relatively large, and the rehearsal of Miss Xu's show will not be possible until the day before the annual meeting."

    "Yeah." Huai Jing didn't leave Xu Xingxing on the stage. He raised his chin slightly and said lightly, "Let her rehearse with the piano teacher first."

    Xu Xingxing: "..."

    "But this costume..." Huai Jing raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes slightly.

    The woman wore a champagne-colored tube top dress, revealing all her beautiful figure. The long skirt is mopping the floor, but the bottom is covered tightly. But above, starting from the pointed chin, the slender neck, the beautiful collarbone, and the spring light on the right that was not blocked by the crystal decoration...

    The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes gradually emptied. He said, "Change your clothes. The annual meeting is a public event, so you can't wear it so revealing."

    "Okay, Mr. Huai." Song Youling agreed, looked at Li Miaoxue next to her, and asked, "Do you want to change the dance costume too?"

    Huaijing looked away from Xu Xingxing, glanced at Li Miaoxue next to him, put it on Xu Xingxing again, and said very succinctly.

    "Need not."

    Xu Xingxing returned to the locker room to change clothes and listened to Tang Didi complaining outside.

    "It's okay for a dancer's costume to be more revealing than this, so why can't Miss Xu's? It looks so good in this dress. President Huai never cares about the annual meeting, so why did he come here today on a whim? "

    A person from the cultural group next to him wentssips and said, "I heard that I happened to have an entertainment at Shengqian today, so I stopped by to take a look."

    "Oops!" Tang Didi wailed.

    Xu Xingxing heard this, put on his clothes, and left the locker room.

    After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Xingxing finished feeding Mimi and went out to Huaijing's car. Xu Xingxing fastened his seat belt, looked at the man in the driver's seat and asked, "Why did you go to the auditorium today?"

    The man also just got off work, but the tie at the neckline has been torn off and left behind. Under the light of the street lamp, the untied neckline reveals cold white skin.

    He glanced sideways at Xu Xingxing. Xu Xingxing was wearing a coat and turtleneck sweater, and his hair was loose, covering the skin behind his ears.

    The image of a woman on the stage flashed in her mind, Huaijing raised her eyebrows slightly, hooked her lips and said, "Go cheer you up. Come on Xu Xingkong, come on Xu Xingkong..."

    When the man said cheer up, his brows and eyes were full of smiles. Xu Xingxing also laughed when he said it. She curled the corners of her eyes and asked, "Then do you think I can perform successfully?"

    Huaijing met her gaze, turned her head slightly, and nodded.

    "Of course, don't even look at who your piano teacher is."

    Xu Xingxing: "..."

    She pursed her lips, and a sly look flashed in her eyes, and asked with a smile.

    "Then do you think I can be the first?"

    Xu Xingxing was a very serious person on weekdays, but occasionally such a hint of cunning was completely captured by him.She was like a little fox, with her tail showing, she thought no one could find her.

    Huai Jing felt an itch in her heart, and the smile deepened in her eyes.

    "That's not necessarily true. Teachers are not omnipotent."

    Xu Xingxing: "..."

    Huaijing said that she was going to cheer her on today, but Xu Xingxing believed it naively.And this big-tailed wolf finally showed his big tail when he was on the bed in the bedroom.

    Under the dark night, the man looked at the woman in his arms with a smile on his lips.He lowered his head and kissed her hair, like a gust of wind, brushing her ear.

    After reaching her ear, he hummed and said in a hoarse voice.

    "Now, I can bite wherever I want."
