Chapter 24 Small Team Celebration Banquet
When Li Yan came out of his boss's house and returned to his residence in Shuixiu Village, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was midsummer and the sun had not yet set.
In the small courtyard, Ye Qing, Pang Cong and Huan Huan were busy preparing dinner.
Ye Qing looked up and saw him, unable to hide the joy in his heart. He was like a long-lost relative, with the corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes red: "He's back! Our great hero, has everything been done?"
Li Yan responded with a smile: "After it was done, Manager Bai Yuqian apologized to the boss and refunded the difference of 15,000 yuan. The boss invited me in for dinner, but I politely declined."
Pang Cong asked: "Brother Li, how did the boss deal with Vice President Wu?"
"The boss didn't say that it's his business to handle it or not. Vice President Wu is deeply rooted in the company. To be honest, it's not that easy to get him out. We need to be mentally prepared."
Huanhuan said: "Brother Li, you have been driving for a day. Take a rest. Pang Cong, please make a fire and grill skewers! That is your job. Don't sit here."
"Okay! Look, let's light the fire!" After saying this, Pang Cong found some pieces of waste paper, lit them with a lighter, put them in the stove, and covered them with a layer of charcoal.
"Is there a hair dryer?" Pang Cong had difficulty lighting the fire.
Li Yan replied: "There is no hair dryer, this is not a hotel."
"A pump will do, too."
"There may be a pump." Li Yan found a pump for bicycles from the storage room in the east wing.
"Huanhuan, come here, point the pump at the charcoal, and I'll pump it up!" Pang Cong greeted.
Seeing the scene where they used a pump instead of a hair dryer to make a fire, which was probably unprecedented, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh, and Pang Cong and Huan Huan also had fun while blowing.
"You two are having fun! Quickly put the charcoal on the gas stove and light it. This is not a picnic and there is no gas stove." Ye Qing put his hands on his hips and smiled at this side.
"Hey, don't tell me, Manager Ye's move is awesome."
"Nonsense, you think the whole world is as stupid as you!" Huanhuan scolded Fat Cong.
It was getting dark, so Li Yan turned on the lights in the yard, lit mosquito coils and placed them under the round table.
Pang Cong, shirtless and waving a cattail leaf fan, was making decent-looking grilled skewers there, sometimes turning them over, sometimes sprinkling salt on them, and his mouth was not idle: "The heat is very important for these grilled skewers. It's too old to be grilled, and it's too tender."
It doesn’t work, the mutton skewers we eat outside are too low-heat, so we need to cook them ourselves at a slightly higher fire.”
Ye Qing and Huanhuan shuttled between the courtyard and the kitchen until the round table was filled with plates, and the aroma of vegetables and strings tempted everyone's taste.
Dinner is ready! Four people sat around the table. Ye Qing was the first to raise his glass: "The three of us would like to toast the great hero, thank you for your hard work!"
The glass was filled with beer, and everyone drank it in one gulp.
"No, you don't have to be so polite. Vice President Wu is mainly targeting me this time. It is necessary to prove your innocence." Li Yan took a bite of the dish and praised: "Yes, this tastes amazing."
Pang Cong picked up the wine glass: "Brother Li, you can't say that. Vice President Wu is targeting everyone in our warehouse. This incident was caused by us reporting his wife, Director Mei. You are not suffering for yourself, but for all of us. I respect you."
!”
"We are all brothers, why are you so polite!"
Just after they finished drinking with Pang Cong, Huanhuan served Manman wine: "Brother Li, I'd like to toast you too."
A few people chatted while eating. Li Yan was very happy. He was very lucky to be able to integrate into a team and become good friends in the more than two months since he came to the company.
Pang Cong picked up a bunch of mutton and praised repeatedly: "Who grilled this? It's amazing."
Huanhuan, who was sitting next to her, was amused: "You are so thick-skinned. Grandma Wang is so proud of herself."
"No one praises you, why don't you just praise yourself?" Pang Cong added: "I personally suggest that activities that are beneficial to the body and mind like this should be held more often. Next time, I will announce that it will be at Huanhuan's house."
Huan Huan readily agreed: "Next time, I will announce that I will be at Pang Cong's house!"
Ye Qing urged: "Stop making trouble and eat quickly!"
"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly and leave quickly, so as not to affect your rest."
Ye Qing's almond-shaped eyes widened with anger: "You are talking nonsense. Who will be affected by their rest?"
Pang Cong clasped his hands together: "I was wrong. There is a problem with my expression ability. I am afraid that it will affect your rest and his rest."
Dinner was over and it wasn't too late. It was only around nine o'clock. Ye Qing arranged for Pang Cong and Huan Huan to take a taxi together. He asked the taxi to take Huan Huan off first. The girl had to go home after drinking.
Li Yan spent half an hour washing the dishes, extinguishing the fire, and cleaning the yard.
Ye Qing came out of the shower and was surprised: "It's all done so quickly? I arranged a celebration banquet for you. You can just rest."
"Thank you for the celebration party!"
"I can't help you, I can only do the logistics work. Let's go take a shower first, I want to chat with you for a while." She said with a peach blossom face.
This time the bathing time is longer. Li Yan can guess what questions Ye Qing is going to ask. Is Bai Mei single? Where did you sleep last night? Do you still love each other now? Give answers to such questions.
Think about it carefully, lest it cause misunderstanding due to improper wording.
He walked out of the shower room in the east wing. The lights in the yard had been turned off, and the white lion cat was having fun all day long.
Ye Qing is sitting in the living room on the first floor, wearing a white T-shirt, long wet hair exuding a charming fragrance, and two big eyes full of love.
Li Yan was shirtless, wondering if he should go to the bedroom and wear half-sleeves? But it was difficult to move his steps, and he finally sat directly on the sofa opposite.
"How old is your daughter?" Ye Qing asked.
"I'm nine years old. I should be in second grade when school starts again."
"It's summer vacation? You can bring her here to play!"
"Yes, it's summer vacation. I'm busy every day, so I don't have time to take care of her." When talking about his daughter, Li Yan felt guilty. He had never taken the time to spend time with her in these years. He was so busy that his wife and children were separated.
"Bring her here, I can accompany her." Ye Qing's expression was sincere and full of love.
"Okay, I'll pick her up in two days."
"Let me ask you a question."
"Well, tell me!"
Ye Qing turned his head to the side: "If you remarry, will you still have a baby?"
Li Yan immediately understood that she was getting divorced because she could not have children, and Mr. Zhang had told her about this.
So he pretended to think for a while before answering: "Let the remarried wife make the decision on this matter. If she says she wants it, she will take it. If she says she doesn't want it, she won't take it."
"What if the remarried wife cannot have children?" Ye Qing was actually so direct.
Li Yan deeply felt that this pure and kind girl was attracted to her, but how could I accept her love? He was troubled in his heart, but his mouth was not idle: "I love her even if I can't have children!"
Ye Qing's eyes couldn't dodge, and they collided with the firm eyes of the man she loved, which made her blush: "You're tired, go to bed early." After saying that, he lowered his head and ran out and went up to the second floor.
