"To thank me so much, why not treat me to dinner?" He Chaozhi said with a smile.
Song Lan readily agreed, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Just make up your mind." He Chaozhi said casually.
He Chaozhi is the heir to the He family. He usually goes to high-end restaurants, expensive hotels, and ordinary restaurants when he goes out.
But Song Lan is not false either.
After she was promoted, her salary also increased a lot, and with several interviews and large bonuses, she became a little rich woman with the money in her pocket.
After leaving it to my aunt to take care of Song's father's medical expenses, the remaining money is more than enough to treat He Chaozhi to a big meal.
After hanging up the phone, Song Lan wanted to take advantage of his vacation and sleep in again, but he received a call from He Xiaoya at the last minute.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong?"
"Sister Lan, I'm sorting out the NS interview, and there's something I don't understand. Can you come over and help me take a look?"
Because NS's interview was Song Lan's achievement, He Xiaoya didn't want to screw it up because of herself, so she was very cautious.
Song Lan responded softly, "Okay, I'll come over now."
Although she is still on vacation, Song Lan is still available when called.
Arriving at the magazine, Song Lan had just walked in when she heard Shen Yingxue's sharp voice, which was about to break through the roof.
"He Xiaoya, don't think that because Song Lan brought you to NS's internal press conference, you have the capital to be arrogant. Don't forget that you will always be a low-level employee in KEO. I can fire you at any time if I want to. , I advise you to show some respect to me!"
He Xiaoya sat next to her with an aggrieved look, lowering her head and being scolded by Shen Yingxue.
"But I didn't say anything, why did you just talk about me for no reason?"
He Xiaoya was working well, but Shen Yingxue suddenly came over with a cup of coffee, without commenting on her, and even insulted her.
"I am a shareholder of KEO. I can criticize whomever I want. Do you have any control?"
Shen Yingxue said angrily.
Even if Song Lan didn't take her seriously, why would He Xiaoya, a lackey, dare to ignore her?
She just came over with coffee, but He Xiaoya was still immersed in work and didn't say hello to her.
Anyway, Song Lan was not here today, so Shen Yingxue simply vented all the anger she had accumulated on He Xiaoya.
He Xiaoya's eyes were red with anger, but she knew that she was no match for Shen Yingxue. In order to keep her job, she could only swallow her anger.
"Then are you finished? You are no longer the deputy director. We are all ordinary employees. I still have to work. Please give in."
"Tsk, didn't you listen to even half of what I just said? You are an ungrateful person who thinks you can be rich and famous by following Song Lan? Let me tell you, Song Lan will not give you charity or pity you, she will just give you Treat it as a usable tool!”
"You're talking nonsense, Sister Lan is not that kind of person!"
He Xiaoya gave up and threw down the documents and stood up.
Although she is weak, she cannot be bullied by anyone.
"You still dare to talk back, I think you're going to be punished with a drink instead of a toast!"
Shen Yingxue was so angry that she grabbed the coffee at hand and threw it on He Xiaoya's computer.
He Xiaoya is editing the interview draft for the NS press conference. After drinking this cup of coffee, the computer will probably not be able to turn on, and the progress will definitely be seriously delayed.
A flash of pride flashed in Shen Yingxue's eyes. Just as the coffee was about to spill out of the cup, a white and slender hand suddenly grabbed Shen Yingxue's wrist.
He grabbed the cup of coffee forcefully.
"Shen Yingxue, what are you doing, bullying my people while I'm not around!?"
"Song Lan, why are you here?"
Seeing Song Lan suddenly appear, Shen Yingxue's face changed slightly.
She gritted her teeth and glared at He Xiaoya, "He Xiaoya, are you filing a complaint?"
"It doesn't matter whether she files a complaint or not. What matters is that I'm here. As the deputy director, I have a higher position than you. Shen Yingxue, please be honest with me. You have played this clumsy and low-level trick no less than three times. If you are discovered for the fourth time, I will pour scalding coffee from your head to your feet."
Song Lan paused, and his fair eyelids lifted slightly, revealing a sharp light.
"Did you hear that?"
She spoke slowly, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Her cold and beautiful face was also full of coldness and determination. It seemed that if Shen Yingxue dared to act rashly again, the cup of coffee in her hand would wrap around Shen Yingxue's scalp like hot lava.
Shen Yingxue trembled slightly and said sharply, "How dare you!?"
"Why don't I dare? I'm He Chaozhi's girlfriend. It doesn't matter if I throw a cup of coffee at you. Even if I slap you, do you believe that He Chaozhi can suppress this matter?"
Song Lan's tone really didn't sound like a joke. Shen Yingxue's scalp was numb and her hair stood on end.
Ever since she became the deputy director, this woman has become even more difficult to deal with.
If she really goes crazy and slaps herself in public, where will her face go?
Shen Yingxue shook Song Lan's hand away and said bitterly, "Let me go, Song Lan, don't get carried away, I won't let you feel comfortable for too long!"
After saying these cruel words, Shen Yingxue rubbed her painful wrist that was scratched by Song Lan and turned around in embarrassment.
He Xiaoya hurriedly stepped forward, "Sister Lan, thank you for helping me out. Fortunately you came, otherwise I would have been in vain after working on the interview script all night."
As He Xiaoya said this, she cherished the computer she had saved after the disaster. It contained her hard work throughout the day and night.
"It's okay. If Shen Yingxue makes things difficult for you in the future, just tell me that I have a way to cure her."
…
Three days later, the holiday ends.
Song Lan returned to work at the magazine. After finishing work in the evening, she made a phone call to a famous Western restaurant in Night City.
"Reserve a table for two for me. It's a couple's meal. Thank you."
Song Lan originally wanted to order a regular meal, but thinking about today's special day, she hesitated and changed it to a couple's meal.
Today is her birthday.
The superior replied to congratulate Chaozhi and asked him to have dinner. He happened to be free tonight.
Just think of it as...having someone to celebrate your birthday with.
After making a reservation at the restaurant, Song Lan sent a message to He Chaozhi.
"Remember to come over to the table by the window in Caesar's restaurant."
After a while, He Chaozhi replied with a good word.
Song Lan raised her lips slightly.
She didn't tell He Chaozhi that today was her birthday, and He Chaozhi didn't need to know.
After get off work, Song Lan declined a colleague's dinner invitation and came to Caesar's restaurant.
The seats have been prepared, and the restaurant has specially prepared exquisite candlelight, bright red roses, velvet tablecloths, and platinum knives and forks. Everything is so romantic and elegant.
"Miss, would you like to start serving the food now?" the waiter asked with a smile.
Song Lan glanced at the darkening sky outside the window. Although he was surprised that He Chaozhi hadn't arrived yet, he decided to wait a little longer.
"No, wait until my companion arrives before serving food."
