Chapter 426 She Has Never Seen Such a Thick-skinned Man
After Ruan Bai sat down, Fang Yuan glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and she said sternly: "The urban reform project has been launched. I hope everyone can do their best and do their job well! Not only that, everyone
You also need to learn how to work as a team. Under my eyes, no one can engage in petty tricks. Once discovered, they will be removed from the team immediately!"
"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison. Only Xu Lei's face flashed with disdain.
When it was time to get off work, Fang Yuan informed everyone that tomorrow the T Group and the VIVI Group would hold a dual-share meeting, with the theme surrounding the urban reform project and personal work progress. She reminded everyone that tomorrow's meeting was different from the past, as the two major companies were participating.
The top management of the group, including the president of T Group and the chairman of VIVI Group,
After Fang Yuan finished speaking, Ruan Bai suddenly felt a lot of pressure again.
With the top management of both groups here, can I hold on when the time comes?
Originally, Ruan Bai wanted to stay in the company to sort out the materials for tomorrow's meeting, but Manager Fang said that the project group had added new employees and wanted to welcome the new employees. Since the start of the project, everyone has not had a dinner together. Today
In the evening, we will go to Lan Zun to dine and sing karaoke together, so that the participants can communicate more together.
"Let's go, let's go have a dinner. I'm going to Lanzun tonight. I'm sure the food will be good, and my baby can get some nutrition!" Zhou Xiaosu shouted while packing up the information.
Li Ni glanced at Zhou Xiaosu and suggested in a low voice: "Sister Zhou, haven't you watched the news? Some pregnant women start to eat all kinds of things after they are pregnant with their babies, which eventually leads to overnutrition of the babies and turns them into giant babies. During the delivery, they can only have a difficult delivery.
Choose caesarean section. You can’t overdo it.”
"Ah... no way?" Zhou Xiaosu was surprised.
Since she became pregnant, her appetite has become extremely good, and she has almost no control over her diet.
Li Ni rolled her eyes at Zhou Xiaosu: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you, Sister Zhou?"
"Ugh...it seems that I really have to exercise restraint in the future."
Zhou Xiaosu stroked her belly sadly, and said aggrievedly to her belly: "Baby, baby, look at how difficult it is for mom, because you not only have to control your own diet, it's really hard work..."
Ruan Bai and Li Ni looked at Zhou Xiaosu's funny expression and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Especially Ruan Bai, she smiled gently and gently touched her belly.
Although it still looks flat.
Seeing Ruan Bai in a daze, Li Ni smiled and scratched her, and guessed suspiciously: "Hey, Xiao Bai, I noticed that you are always distracted recently, and you always have an inexplicable spring breeze smile on your face.
Tell me, are you and your boss getting close?"
Ruan Bai closed the computer: "...You are thinking too much, it's nothing. Let's go, the people from ViVI Group have already set off."
Even Zhou Xiaosu attended the dinner, so Ruan Bai was naturally embarrassed to refuse.
She could only edit a message to Mu Shaoling and sent it, saying that she was going to Lan Zun to have a dinner with her colleagues and would be a little late when she got home, so that he didn't have to wait for her and could go back first. After the meal was over, she herself
I'll take a taxi home.
Mu Shaoling knew very well that these dinner gatherings were essential for work. Besides, he knew Fang Yuan was an upright person, and Lan Zun was Song Beixi's territory. He felt relieved. He just told Ruan Bai not to drink and go back at night.
Send him a message when she is there and he will pick her up and so on.
Ruan Bai, Fang Yuan and other people walked out in a mighty manner.
When passing by the bathroom, Xu Lei suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Ah, my stomach hurts so much. I'm sorry, Manager Fang. You guys go over first. I'll go to the bathroom first."
Manager Fang looked at Xu Lei: "Hurry up!"
"Manager Fang, I know Lan Zun's address. You go there first. When you get there, ask my colleagues to send me the box number. I will go directly to you then."
Manager Fang thought about it and said, "That's okay. Let's go there first. Don't leave it too late."
"Um."
Watching the group of people leaving chatting and laughing, especially staring at Ruan Bai's slender and peaceful back, Xu Lei's eyes were full of dark calculations...
This is not the first time Ruan Bai has come to Lan Zun, but every time she comes, she is always amazed by the unique decoration style here.
The atmosphere of the dinner party is good.
At first, because of the strict and rigid Fang Yuan, everyone was inevitably restrained.
But Fang Yuan in life is very different from the one in work. In life, she is very friendly and even tells jokes to everyone. Fang Yuan talks well and speaks humorously, just like a wise elder sister. Ruan Bai is knowledgeable
Here comes the other side of her.
And what’s impressive is Armand, who loves to tell jokes and always makes people laugh every time he tells a joke.
However, what made Ruan Bai a little uneasy was that during the dinner, Armand kept staring at her with such affectionate eyes, which made her a little uneasy...
After the meal, Manager Fang suggested singing K again.
Because the Blue Hotel not only includes catering and accommodation, but also entertainment facilities, it is on the 8th floor. The group can go directly there without wasting time in changing their destination.
There are many people gathering for dinner, but the KTV box is not small.
Fang Yuan only sat in the private room for a while, told everyone to have fun, and then left first.
In the box, Li Tao, Jiang Mingyuan, Armand and other men were having a drink. Bai Man held the microphone and kept singing affectionately. However, she really had no talent for singing. She went out of tune and ran into the Pacific Ocean, which made people feel embarrassed.
, only the deputy manager Ma Guangfu kept applauding her.
Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni ignored it, covering their mouths and laughing.
Ruan Bai was sitting on the sofa bored, eating the fruit platter one bite at a time, while chatting with Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni.
At this time, Armand came up. He sat in the empty seat next to Ruan Bai and chatted with her in a nice British accent: "Hi, it's nice to meet you today. May I take the liberty of asking if you have a boyfriend now?
?”
Ruan Bai calmly moved to Zhou Xiaosu's side: "Well, I have a boyfriend."
Armand's handsome face seemed quite disappointed, and he shrugged regretfully: "That's such a pity. I thought I met the goddess in my life, but I didn't expect that she was already married... But it doesn't matter, you are already married.
Is it done?"
"Not yet, but soon, my boyfriend is planning a wedding."
Armand's disappointed expression suddenly turned to excitement: "You haven't gotten married yet? That means I still have a chance to pursue you. Isn't there an old saying in China: A fair lady is a gentleman? I have decided to pursue you in the future.
"
Ruan Bai: "..."
To be honest, she has never seen such a shameless man. On the surface, he looks like a gentleman, but why can't he hear the rejection in her words?
Armand looked at the gentle and quiet Ruan Bai with fascination, and the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her.
Although he is a foreigner with a typical deep British profile, he is not interested in European female faces, no matter how beautiful they are. He naturally prefers Eastern faces.
In particular, he loves Ruan Bai the most, an oriental beauty with a delicate face and a gentle and charming temperament, which he followed his father.
Seeing Ruan Bai showing no interest in him, Armand was not in a hurry.
He knows that capturing a woman's heart does not happen in a moment.
What's more, he is not a lustful follower, he really wants to pursue her.
Seeing that these women were deliberately leaving him aside, Armand deliberately changed the topic and said politely: "Ruan Bai, I just came to China not long ago, and my Chinese is not very good... I have always wanted to pick one.
I have a Chinese name, but I can’t think of a suitable one. Can you help me choose a Chinese name?”
Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni peeled melon seeds and watched with relish as Armand chatted with Ruan Bai.
Haha, their CEO has a love rival!
It seems that their newbie is really charming!
This newly arrived handsome guy, who is as passionate as the sun, seems to have fallen in love with Ruan Bai at first sight, and even said that he wants to pursue her. I wonder what their CEO's reaction will be when he finds out?
Armand, being such a gentleman, asked him for his opinion on the Chinese name and did not continue to pester him. Ruan Bai was too embarrassed to directly shirk the blame.
She could only ask: "What kind of Chinese name do you like?"
Armand spread his hands exaggeratedly: "Oh, Chinese culture is too broad and profound. Those square characters make me dizzy. Each character has a different meaning. Even one Chinese character may have several meanings. I really don't know what to choose.
Nice name."
Zhou Xiaosu stared at Armand. She had melon seeds in her mouth and had forgotten to eat the skin: "Oh my god, you have said such idioms as profound and profound and dizzy? Armand, you also said that your Chinese is not very good.
Isn’t that too modest?”
Li Ni picked up a small piece of watermelon from the fruit plate and said while eating: "Armand, your way of picking up girls is too tacky... Chinese is so fluent, why don't you just give yourself a Chinese name? Otherwise, I'll give it to you
You can choose one, um... you can call me Shang Yang or Liu Jin, what do you think?"
"Pfft--" Zhou Xiaosu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Armand touched his hair in confusion. For a moment, he didn't know what they were laughing at.
He could only ask, "Are the names Shang Yang and Liu Jin funny? Why are you all laughing so inexplicably?"
Zhou Xiaosu patted his chest with his hand, smoothed his breath, and then kindly explained to him: "Shang Yang is a famous official in ancient my country. He used reforms to make a country from weak to strong, and gradually became rich. , but in the end he died miserably, being cut into pieces by five horses...
Oh, I guess you don’t understand the criminal law of dismemberment by five horses. It means using five horses or five oxen to pull the criminal’s head and limbs, and tear his limbs into pieces..."
Armand: "..."
Thinking of the bloody scene described by Zhou Xiaosu, he almost vomited out the wine in his stomach.
Armand quickly drank a glass of boiling water to calm down his shock: "What about Liu Jin? Could it be that this person was also dismembered by the five horses?"
Ruan Bai's soft voice slowly sounded: "Liu Jin was an eunuch in ancient my country. He monopolized power and corrupted the government. He used his power and corrupted wantonly. He even wanted to usurp the throne. In the end, he was executed by the emperor Lingchi. Do you know what Lingchi execution is? This is the most cruel type of death penalty in China, requiring a full 3357 cuts on the criminal's body.
The knife will do the trick. One more or one less knife will result in harsh punishment for the torturer. Liu Jin was cut by the executioner for three days, a total of 3,357 knives. After the execution, the families who had been persecuted by him rushed to
When I arrived at the scene, I picked up the strips of meat cut off from Liu Jin's body and cooked them at home to relieve the hatred in my heart..."
"Ugh..." After listening to Ruan Bai's explanation, Armand finally couldn't hold it back and vomited while holding the trash can nearby.
Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni covered their mouths and snickered. Ruan Bai calmly peeled off a red lychee and stuffed it into his mouth. Well, it's juicy and delicious!
But now that she is pregnant, she dare not eat too much for fear of getting angry.
Armand retched into the trash can for three minutes.
He wiped his mouth carefully with a wet wipe and stared feebly at the three women who seemed to be gloating about their misfortune.
Armand couldn't help complaining: "Hey, can you have some sympathy? How can you say such disgusting things on such a joyful and wonderful night? Don't you Chinese have names with better meanings? For example, the mighty emperor, or the general
Type?”
Ruan Bai said unhurriedly: "Yes, of course! Our five thousand years of civilization in China have produced many mighty heroes. Your English name Armand means a soldier and a domineering hero.
We in China also have a first warrior. He is the founding father of a dynasty, and of course he is also the emperor's auxiliary minister. He is similar to your Duke of England. He is as famous as your King Arthur's Lancelot. You want to use his name.
?”
After hearing what Ruan Bai said, Armand immediately opened his charming blue eyes excitedly, his eyes bright: "Ah, Lancelot is the best and most loyal Knight of the Round Table of the great King Arthur. He is not only handsome, but also handsome.
Brave and good at fighting, he is our lion of Great Britain... Could it be that you also have such a number one figure in China? Tell me quickly, what is his name?"
Ruan Bai gave him a mysterious smile, which almost made Armand crazy: "Uh, this hero's name is Obai!"
Armand slammed the table excitedly: "Okay, my Chinese name will be Ao Bai from now on!"
"Hahaha..." Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni pointed at Ruan Bai and then at Armand. They almost covered their stomachs with laughter.
Armand pursed his lips suspiciously again: "What's wrong? Isn't the Chinese name Ruan Bai gave me a bad name? Obai is your great hero of China and my idol in my heart, why are you laughing?"
Zhou Xiaosu suppressed a smile: "No, the name Aobai is really domineering and suits you very well... Armand, we will call you Aobai from now on!"
Li Ni's face turned a little red because she was holding back her laughter.
She was really impressed by Ruan Bai's little head, and he was so clueless when it came to deceiving people!
