Chapter 12 Workplace Traditions
Duan Hongzhou brought several boxes of mineral water today. From the outer packaging, it seems that it is indeed higher-grade than the bottled water sold on the market. As for other differences, Wen Jiahui can't tell the difference.
But judging from what Duan Hongzhou expressed, she should really like to drink this brand, so she also deliberately showed her love for this water.
"It's really troublesome for you. Not only do you have to run errands, but you also have to work hard." No matter what Duan Hongzhou's intentions are, he is indeed doing things for him, and he is doing it well.
Wen Jiahui took out a shopping card from the coffee shop and handed it to Duan Hongzhou."this is for you."
This coffee shop has many chain stores in D City, and there is one near Sky Trees Garden. When she went to buy a banana milkshake in the store yesterday, she accidentally found that their gift card was very beautifully designed, so she bought one.
The value of the gift is not high, but it is practical.
Duan Hongzhou's first reaction when he saw the gift card was to refuse, "How dare you spend money on it."
"Oh, put it away, it would be great if you can invite female colleagues or something even if you don't drink." Wen Jiahui forced the card into Duan Hongzhou's hand, "It's not something expensive, so there's no need to be so polite."
When Duan Hongzhou heard what Wen Jiahui said, he no longer refused, accepted the card and thanked him.
Duan Hongzhou left after packing up his things. Although Wen Jiahui wanted to ask him for some news, she didn't dare to speak rashly because she was not sure of the other party's position.
In a blink of an eye, it was Sunday. In order to participate in the department dinner, Wen Jiahui dressed up deliberately, changed into a skirt that she couldn't wear at school, and put on a slightly heavier makeup.Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that the fashionable little white-collar worker from before had finally returned.
Originally, she was young, and her appearance was gentle and quiet. Standing on the podium was not intimidating at all, so she tried her best to look mature and dignified in school.
She pinched the time and arrived at the reserved restaurant box, and the others arrived just as quickly. The teacher had a strong sense of time, and when the appointed time came, all the staff arrived, and no one was late.
After everyone gave in to each other, Ye Jingnan ordered the dishes. Since there were mostly women at the scene, he didn't order wine, only drinks.
Except for Wen Jiahui, the remaining five teachers are all old colleagues who have known each other for several years, so naturally there will be no cold silence.Before the food was served, Ye Jingnan, as the leader of the mathematics team, said a few words of welcome, and then everyone began to chat about their own affairs.
Wen Jiahui has been eating food in silence, listening to what other people are talking about by the way, to see if she can collect any useful information.
Teacher Ding, who was in the third year of high school, suddenly asked her: "Xiaowen, have you been studying with Teacher Fang for a week?"
Seeing that someone clicked on her, Wen Jiahui quickly swallowed her mouth, and then replied: "Yes, I think Sister Fang's lectures are very good, so I listened to a few more lectures."
Teacher Cheng, who is in charge of the second year of high school, also joined the conversation: "I happened to pass by two days ago, and I saw Xiaowen listening more seriously than the students next to me."
"Xiao Fang's lecture is so good, then I have to go and listen to it tomorrow, Xiao Fang, when do you have class tomorrow?"
Fang Yuan hurriedly said modestly: "How can my level compare with yours? Otherwise, I would have taught the third year of high school. In fact, I am also quite puzzled. Is my lecture really so good?"
The school would have organized mutual lectures and learning activities, and everyone had listened to Fang Yuan's lectures, but everyone didn't understand why Wen Jiahui could listen so mesmerized, so they all agreed to go and observe together next week, I just donβt know whether to go to observe the lectures or the people who observe the lectures.
Ye Jingnan also expressed his support and approval for this, and also sublimated the theme of this spontaneous activity, turning it into a teaching and research study of the mathematics group.
While chatting, everyone's topic shifted from work to Wen Jiahui.
On weekdays, except for Ye Jingnan and Fang Yuan, the rest of the people had little communication with Wen Jiahui, and there were so many people in the office, and Wen Jiahui was very low-key, so her sense of presence was also very low. Now everyone finally found a chance to chat with Wen Jiahui.
"Where are you from, Xiao Wen?"
"I'm from City N."
Teacher Luo who asked the question was very surprised, "It's so far away? But you don't sound like someone from there, but you have an accent from City A."
"Maybe it has something to do with my college roommate, the accent is taken away."
"Then you come here to work alone? Are you talking about someone?"
Sure enough, it is a workplace tradition to care about the relationship status of colleagues. If she said no, wouldn't the next sentence have to be to introduce someone to her?
"I am still single."
In the next second, Teacher Ding said enthusiastically: "Oh, let me introduce one to you later, what kind do you like?"
Wen Jiahui immediately began to laugh awkwardly, "There are not so many requirements, just a good eye."
"Then at least there must be some basic conditions, such as age, height, education, etc..." Teacher Ding's eyes seemed to light up when talking about this topic. Talking about this is probably more interesting than her class.
Facing such an overly enthusiastic colleague, Wen Jiahui could only continue to maintain a polite smile.
If she really meets a suitable partner, she will not resist falling in love, but it may be a little problematic when it comes to marriage.According to the consistent nature of the novel, there is a high probability that she will have a commercial marriage.
At this time, Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, and suddenly turned her gaze to Ye Jingnan, "It seems that Xiao Wen's arrival relieved Teacher Ye's pressure."
Wen Jiahui was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
The other party explained to her: "You see, there is not only Yelaoshi who is single in the group you came to. Before, everyone said every day that they would introduce partners to Yelaoshi. Now they all want to introduce you. Do you think Yelaoshi wants to relax?too much?"
Ye Jingnan's slightly embarrassed expression confirmed Fang Yuan's statement. It seemed that he was also troubled by the introduction partner.
Other teachers also responded one after another, "That's right, the most urgent task now is to introduce a girlfriend to Teacher Ye first, and then introduce a boyfriend to Teacher Wen."
"Ms. Ye is indeed not young. By the way, Mr. Cheng introduced a little girl to you last time..." Mr. Ding's attention was also shifted to Ye Jingnan, and he taught him life experience as someone who had experienced it."To find a partner, you should find it as soon as possible, and have a baby early..."
These familiar words reminded Wen Jiahui of the company dinners she had attended before, and sure enough, everyone said the same thing.
After dinner, everyone dispersed. This should be the benefit of all colleagues getting married. Each has their own things to do, and they will not propose to organize other activities.
Everyone bid farewell at the entrance of the restaurant. Wen Jiahui was about to take a taxi at the intersection when Fang Yuan stopped her: "How did you get here?"
"Come here by taxi."
"Then you just go back and give them a free ride."
Fang Yuan thought that Wen Jiahui was too shy to ask, so she took the initiative to ask others on her behalf: "Who are you driving along with Xiao Wen, and give him a ride?"
After hearing this, Ye Jingnan said, "Let me deliver it."
Seeing Ye Jingnan's statement, Fang Yuan proudly said to Wen Jiahui: "You see, this problem will be solved. Why bother taking a taxi? I'll go first." After speaking, she went to find her battery car.
"Teacher Wen, come with me." Ye Jingnan took Wen Jiahui back to his car.
He was driving a silver-gray car, but Wen Jiahui didn't know much about cars, so he couldn't tell the good from the bad. The inside of the car was clean and there were no decorations. As soon as he entered, he could smell a faint smell of tea.
She said casually: "This smells very good."
"It's the smell of aromatherapy." Ye Jingnan took out an aromatherapy diffuser from the armrest box and showed her.
Wen Jiahui didn't expect the other party to be so serious, so she followed his words and praised: "It's really good, this smells very comfortable, and the fragrance is light, and it's not very pungent."
"I also prefer it to have a light taste."
Ye Jingnan didn't ask Wen Jiahui where she lived, but where she was going, and started the car after getting a clear answer.
The car fell into silence for a while, Ye Jingnan himself was a taciturn person, and since he was driving, Wen Jiahui didn't dare to speak to distract him, and only chatted on random topics while waiting for traffic lights.
Fortunately, the restaurant is not far from the Sky Trees Garden. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the Sky Trees Garden.
Wen Jiahui quickly got off the car, and did not forget to bid farewell to Ye Jingnan before leaving.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to say that colleagues are too keen on introducing their partners, but overall, the teacher's workplace atmosphere is much better than when she was at work. There will not be too much vicious competition, and there will be no stepping on the high.Flatter in front of the leader and leave the mess to the "villain" you clean up.
She entered the unit building, and unexpectedly saw Huo Yunfei as soon as she got out of the elevator.
"Why are you here again?" She said what was in her heart without paying attention.
At this time, Huo Yunfei was leaning against the anti-theft door of her house and playing with his mobile phone boredly. When he heard Wen Jiahui's voice, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and came forward: "Sister Jiahui, you are finally back."
"You..." Wen Jiahui looked at the other party suspiciously, and shouted the word trouble in her heart, "Didn't you say go back?"
"I originally planned to go back, but I remembered something I forgot last night, so I made a special trip here today."
Wen Jiahui keenly noticed that Huo Yunfei's attitude towards her was different, and his tone of speech was much more normal. It's only been a night, so the change is so big?"What did you forget?"
"I forgot to give you the invitation. My brother specifically asked me to deliver it to you personally."
Wen Jiahui took an envelope from him, and after opening it contained an invitation card. The groom's name was Huo Yunyuan, and the bride's name was Liu Zhen.A big hotel.
Let her go back to N City?
This is not a wedding, it is simply a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
