Chapter 35 Do you have to be happy to be happy in life?
After the meeting,
Zhang Shuo left the company, hailed a taxi and went straight to the Starlight Welfare Home.
Moving to a new home,
He always wanted to share his joy with those close to him. His parents couldn't keep up with work. Apart from his colleagues, the people closest to Zhang Shuo in Pengcheng were the kids in the orphanage.
Of course Mr. Tang counts, but his rank is too high to invite him.
It’s not convenient to invite either.
As for classmates, there are quite a few from junior high school, high school, and university who work in Pengcheng. Especially among university classmates, a quarter of them stayed after graduation.
But as soon as you graduate,
The camaraderie between classmates has weakened, and they seem to be quite sensitive.
Zhang Shuo really wanted to invite everyone there, it was really exciting, and the result was probably that the relationship between them would become more and more alienated, and they wouldn't even be ordinary friends anymore.
So I only called him a best friend like Zheng Zhebin.
Coming back from the orphanage,
There are two more kids in the car, chubby Dong Ziyi and Beibei.
These two are the ones who are most familiar with Zhang Shuo. They were chosen as representatives to attend today's party. The house is so big that it is impossible to accommodate a group of monkey cubs.
That could lift the roof off the house.
In the back seat of the taxi, Beibei was wearing a floral skirt, a bow in her hair, a small cartoon schoolbag in her arms, and a seat belt, looking very much like a little lady.
Little Fatty sat upright and behaved beside Sister Bei, not daring to twist around.
It’s hard to lose weight.
When you get home, open the door.
"Uncle Zhang, is this really your home?"
Faced with the luxurious decoration, the usually timid little chubby boy suddenly got stage fright.
Sister Bei looks calm,
But her little hands were holding the skirt tightly.
"Come in, everyone."
Zhang Shuo held one in each hand, lifted the little fat man onto the shoe bench, and put on the small slippers he had prepared in advance.
Being led by Uncle Zhang,
Sister Bei quickly regained her composure and changed her shoes by herself, not forgetting to take the time to give Pang Dun a look of contempt.
"The boss is back?"
The little secretary heard the commotion and ran over from the bar.
"How are the preparations going?" Zhang Shuo was really worried.
"Don't worry, everything is arranged well..."
Before the secretary could finish speaking, Zhang Shuo saw Du Qingqing walking out of the kitchen in an apron, holding a freshly baked cake in his hand.
"?????"
"Well, I asked Sister Qing to help."
Chen Xiaowan was a little embarrassed. She originally thought she could handle it all by herself, but after thinking about it, she realized that organizing a cocktail party was not that simple, so she had to ask Du Qingqing for help.
Du Qingqing called two more clerks from Qingcheng to help.
That's it.
The living room is already filled with fruits, salads, various pastries, desserts, various dried fruits, baked biscuits, soft cocktails, long breads, sandwiches, and even onions, cucumbers, and olives.
drinks,
There are freshly squeezed juices, beer, red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, mineral water, lemonade, etc.
The little secretary also occupied the bar at home without hesitation, and planned to show off her skills in the evening by making cocktails for the guests.
If we weren't worried about disturbing the people,
She even wanted to move in audio equipment and have a disco dance at home that she had only dreamed of doing.
Life is too short,
If you don’t play disco, what’s the difference between it and salted fish?
There is also a smokeless barbecue grill set up on the large terrace. Lamb chops, steaks, pork chops, chicken wings, shrimps, saury and other types of barbecue have been marinated and are ready to be grilled at any time.
"sure!"
Time is so tight, it’s amazing to be able to prepare these.
Seeing the dazzling array of delicacies, Little Fatty suddenly lost his restraint. If Sister Bei hadn't been watching from the side, his eyes would have fallen into the pit of desserts.
Beibei was actually secretly swallowing saliva,
Open the small schoolbag and take out an empty can glass jar filled with folded five-pointed stars.
"Uncle Zhang, this is our gift to you."
The stars were all folded by the children in the welfare home, and their little blessings for Zhang Shuo and their little wishes for the future were written on each piece of paper.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Shuo took it solemnly and said with a smile: "I have to keep such an expensive gift."
I scanned the living room,
Place the glass jar on the wooden shelf that was originally used to display antique ornaments.
Beibei laughed, her eyes twinkling like stars.
Little Fatty was also very happy.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, guests began to arrive.
The first one to arrive was Jiang Yue, holding two bottles of red wine in boxes, and said with a smile: "This is not considered a gift, it is just basic etiquette and the rules of our ancestors."
"I don't understand red wine. It's not cheap according to the packaging. It's really expensive." Jiang Yue mentioned this, and Zhang Shuo certainly couldn't refuse it. He said boldly: "Then drink it tonight!"
"This is right,"
Jiang Yue smiled even happier, "Wine is for drinking, no matter what the price is."
These words,
That is to say, someone like Jiang Yue, who comes from a wealthy family, can talk about it.
Coming with Jiang Yue was her daughter Guoguo, who is five years old and is still in kindergarten. She happens to be the same age as Little Fatty and Beibei, and they soon started playing together.
After a while,
Senior brothers Wang Yan and Zheng Zhebin came hand in hand, carrying a large bag.
"I promised you not to give gifts, but now, senior brother, you're going to have an affair with me." Zhang Shuo couldn't help complaining.
"Open it and take a look." Wang Yan was very calm.
Zhang Shuo opened,
I found that the bag was full of postgraduate entrance examination textbooks, review materials, and secret papers from previous years’ exam papers.
"..."
Zhang Shuo could only give a thumbs up.
"Hey, Shuozi, isn't this gift interesting? In order to get a complete set, senior brother and I put a lot of effort into it." Zheng Zhebin looked embarrassed at the Shaobao.
"terrific!"
This is probably the most special gift Zhang Shuo received.
later,
Liu Xiaohui, Zhou Pengfei, Wu Xian, Sun Qian and others also arrived one after another. Liu Xiaohui brought his wife, Zhou Pengfei brought his girlfriend, and Wu Xian and Sun Qian both brought their children.
Space at home is limited,
Zhang Shuo also only invited the management of Qingcheng Retail, Qingniao Interactive Entertainment, and Qinghe Technology, plus relatives, there were less than twenty people in total.
In addition to Du Qingqing from Qingcheng Retail, Xiao Yuan, the manager of Feige Store, also came.
Zhang Shuo also wanted to take this rare opportunity to bring the management of the three subsidiaries together to get to know each other, so as not to flood the Dragon King Temple.
Fusion is out of the question,
At least they need to recognize each other and know that the parent company has such a subsidiary.
Because it is a private reception,
It's at home again, so of course there aren't that many rules and we get together in twos and threes.
In the crowd, I saw other people with their families, many even had children. Wang Yan and Zheng Zhebin, a pair of singles, seemed to have received a 10,000-point blow.
Zheng Zhebin was almost glued to the bar and couldn't get up while he was cooking.
Jiang Yue took along the financial manager Sun Qian, Liu Xiaohui, and Wu Xian's wife. The four women chatted and chatted, and it became a forum for women in the workplace to complain about parenting.
Liu Xiaohui pulled Wu Xian and Wang Yan, and the three men actually played dice.
As the master, Zhang Shuo,
But unexpectedly he became the king of children, taking care of five children.
"Mr. Zhang loves children so much, when are you going to have one?" Jiang Yue came over at some point, holding a glass of red wine in her hand and a hint of camel red on her face.
It looks particularly moving under the light.
"I don't even know where my girlfriend is yet, sister, please stop teasing me."
"Isn't that what it is?"
Little Fatty pointed with his chubby finger at Du Qingqing not far away.
"Let's have some fun!"
Zhang Shuo blushed and said, "Dong Ziyi, if you dare to talk nonsense again, you are not allowed to eat dessert."
"Then let me go!"
Little Fatty ran away in a flash, "The adult world is full of trouble."
"Pfft!"
Jiang Yue smiled charmingly, "Would you like me to introduce you?"
Now Zhang Shuo is really not considered a rich man in Pengcheng just based on his assets.
The natives are a lot richer than him.
But Zhang Shuo has a career, Qingcheng Retail, and Qinghe Technology don't have much prospects at the moment. Only Qingniao Interactive Entertainment has a bright future.
People are young and still create a new generation.
As the old saying goes: "It's not enough to compare with the top, but it's more than enough to compare with the bottom."
If you really want to find a wife, it will be even harder.
It's not like in school, where you only believe in love. In the adult world, it's more about being a good match and making the right choice after weighing the pros and cons.
The longer time passes, the harder it will be to solve Zhang Shuo's single problem.
But he is not a playboy.
Mainly because I was reborn and saw through some things in the world.
If he were to obtain the system without rebirth and suddenly gain wealth from heaven, to be honest, Zhang Shuo was not sure whether he would fall into a life of feasting and pleasure.
Men,
Who doesn’t have the fantasy of having sex every night?
But fantasies are just fantasies after all. If you really do that, you may be able to clear your name in the future, but you will inevitably fall into inferiority. How can temporary physical pleasure be compared to knowing each other and staying together until old age?
style,
Must be opened.
In this life, one has to pursue something big after all.
"Sister, please forgive me, my girlfriend will only affect the speed at which I make money." Zhang Shuo begged for mercy.
