The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Two days flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for the Sunshine Supermarket's staff activity. Chen Mengyao had specially arranged for the supermarket to close for two days so that the employees could fully enjoy life and relax. That morning, just as dawn was breaking, she and Ouyang Han got up early.

"The weather is really nice today." Ouyang Han stretched and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window. "I hope the event goes smoothly."

“Yes, I think so too.” Chen Mengyao replied while straightening her clothes. “But I need to check on Chen Jiale’s situation first. He’s the main person in charge of this event.”

After breakfast, Chen Mengyao picked up her phone and dialed Chen Jiale's number. "Jiale, how's everything going on your end? Have you bought all the ingredients? And what about the game props you mentioned in your plan? Are they all ready?"

Chen Jiale's confident voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, boss, everything is ready! We bought extra ingredients as you requested, and all the game props have been checked and are in good condition. In addition, I arranged a pickup truck to transport the kitchen utensils and ingredients. As for everyone's travel, we rented several commercial vehicles to ensure that everyone can arrive at their destination comfortably."

Chen Mengyao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. "Very good, it seems you really put in a lot of effort. By the way, could you tell me the exact address of the campsite? We're about to set off."

“Okay, boss, I’ve sent the address to the work group. Just check it.” Chen Jiale paused and added, “Also, if you don’t mind, I think you could bring some fruit with you. After all, outdoor activities always require something refreshing and thirst-quenching.”

"That's a good suggestion! I was already planning to bring fruit anyway." Chen Mengyao smiled and hung up the phone.

Back in her room, she entered her spatial dimension again and carefully selected some fresh fruit to put into the box. "Apples, oranges, grapes... these should be enough, right?" she muttered to herself, counting. "I'll also put in a few kinds of vegetables and meat, just in case Jiale doesn't have enough. If it's still not enough, I can take more out of my spatial dimension."

Ouyang Han stood to the side watching her actions and couldn't help but tease her, "Are you going to move the whole kitchen over there?"

Chen Mengyao rolled her eyes at him. "Isn't this just to be on the safe side? What if something is missing? Besides, so many employees are camping together, we can't let them go hungry, can we? And this is just to give everyone a heads-up, so we can take more from our space if we need more. We can't just bring more than we need, can we?"

“That’s true,” Ouyang Han nodded, “but your back-and-forth movement makes me a little worried about whether our trunk will be able to hold it all.”

"Don't worry, I've planned everything out." Chen Mengyao patted the box full of food and then placed it into the trunk of her van. Next, she put two backpacks in as well, and checked one last time to make sure nothing was left out.

"Alright, let's go!" Chen Mengyao closed the trunk and turned to Ouyang Han, saying, "We need to get there early today so we can help set up the venue."

The two drove to the meeting point, chatting about various details of the event along the way. "Do you think everyone will like those games?" Chen Mengyao asked.

“Of course,” Ouyang Han replied, “especially since the games he designed are so unique. Besides, there’s also the barbecue activity.”

“That’s right, barbecue is indeed one of the most popular items.” Chen Mengyao smiled. “But I’m still a little worried, since there are so many people, the scene might be a bit chaotic.”

"Don't worry," Ouyang Han comforted him. "With Chen Jiale around, didn't you say he's very reliable? And I believe that as long as everyone has fun, it's okay if a little problem arises occasionally."

As they spoke, they arrived at the assembly point. From afar, they could see Chen Jiale busily directing the staff to load supplies. "Boss, you're here!" Chen Jiale immediately greeted them upon seeing them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jiale." Chen Mengyao got out of the car and nodded to him. "Is everything packed?"

"It's almost done, only a few pieces left." Chen Jiale pointed to the pickup truck not far away. "But I'd like to remind you that the road might be a bit bumpy, so we've reinforced the packaging of those fragile tableware pieces."

"That's very thoughtful." Chen Mengyao looked at him approvingly. "Then let's set off now and try to get to the camp as soon as possible."

So, all the vehicles lined up in order and, led by Chen Jiale, headed towards the campsite. Along the way, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze made the journey incredibly pleasant. Laughter and cheerful chatter frequently filled the vehicles; everyone was looking forward to the fun-filled time to come.

After a drive of more than an hour, they finally arrived at their destination—a beautiful lawn nestled against the mountains and beside the water, a picturesque landscape. As soon as they got out of the car, a breath of fresh air rushed towards them, carrying the fragrance of grass and earth, a truly invigorating experience. "This place is so beautiful!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Mengyao looked around and found that the lawn not only offered a wide view, but also had a crystal-clear stream flowing gently by, the babbling water adding a touch of vitality to the tranquility. "Jiale, did you choose this place?" she asked curiously.

“Yes, boss,” Chen Jiale replied proudly. “I specifically looked at several places before deciding on this one. This place can satisfy the barbecue needs, has enough space for everyone to move around freely, and most importantly, has beautiful scenery, making it perfect for relaxing.”

Chen Mengyao nodded in satisfaction, "Well done!" She gave a thumbs up and praised, "Now it's time to divide the work. Jiale, you're in charge of leading the team to set up the tents and arrange the venue; Yichen, you go help move the kitchen utensils; as for me, I'll go check on the preparations for the game area."

Everyone sprang into action, and the campsite instantly became bustling with activity. Some were busy setting up tents, others were laying out tablecloths, still others were helping to build stoves and gather firewood, and some were even adjusting the sound equipment. Everyone was doing their part, working with great enthusiasm. Before long, a vibrant campsite came into view.

After Chen Mengyao set up her tent, Ouyang Han moved everything from the car into it. Chen Mengyao thoughtfully told Chen Jiale, "If you don't have enough ingredients, just let me know. I've prepared some to bring with me." Chen Jiale said she understood.

"Alright, everyone!" Chen Mengyao announced loudly from her elevated position, "Today's activities are officially starting! We'll begin with three games: relay jigsaw puzzle, blindfolded square formation, and a quiz. Jiale, get all the props you've prepared. We'll play the remaining three games tomorrow. We'll cook lunch together, and then have a barbecue in the evening, followed by a bonfire party. Everyone is welcome to showcase their performance skills. Just let me know if you need any instruments or props. There will be prizes for good performances. I hope everyone enjoys this wonderful time!"

As soon as the words were spoken, thunderous applause and cheers erupted. From that moment on, a joyous chapter officially began for all the employees of Sunshine Supermarket.

The employees gathered around Chen Mengyao, eagerly signing up for tonight's performance and requesting the necessary instruments and props. Xiao Li excitedly asked, "I've prepared a guitar and vocal piece; could I borrow one?" Chen Mengyao smiled and nodded, "No problem, I have a spare guitar here." Another colleague, Zhang Qiang, suggested, "I'd like to perform a skit with Wang Min, but we need some simple costumes and props. Could you help us prepare them?" Chen Mengyao carefully noted them down and promised to arrange it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiale had already neatly arranged the game props in the center of the lawn. He called everyone together, "Colleagues, we're about to start the first round of the game. Please choose your partners and form teams to participate. Each team member can discuss their strategy!"

Upon hearing the news, the employees immediately split into groups and began discussing it among themselves. Xiao Liu grabbed his colleague Xiao Zhou's arm and said, "Shall we team up? I remember you participated in a similar relay race back in school, you must have experience!" Xiao Zhou readily agreed, "Okay, let's see what place we can get!"

On the other side, Sister Zhao proactively invited the newly hired Xiao Yang to join her team. "Xiao Yang, you're new, so you might not be familiar with the rules yet. That's okay, just follow me. I'll teach you how to do it." Xiao Yang nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Zhao, I'll definitely do my best to cooperate!"

Chen Mengyao, carrying a video camera and still camera, filmed the employees' interactions while observing the situation. She noticed that each group was exchanging ideas enthusiastically, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. For a time, the lawn was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

With Chen Jiale's command, the first round of the game—the relay jigsaw puzzle—officially began. The entire event venue instantly became lively and bustling, filled with laughter and an exciting atmosphere. Chen Mengyao skillfully turned on the camera's recording function and then focused on capturing every wonderful moment. Next, Ouyang Han and Chen Mengyao took out their cameras to take photos for everyone, capturing those precious scenes.

Meanwhile, the supermarket employees were working against the clock on their respective jigsaw puzzles. They were completely focused on the puzzle pieces in their hands, trying to find the correct way to put them together. During this process, Chen Mengyao, Ouyang Han, Chen Jiale, along with Manager Wang and Li Xiao, frequently cheered them on, encouraging them to persevere. Their cheers rose and fell, creating a stirring symphony that echoed throughout the area.

The team that finished the puzzle first received enthusiastic applause and cheers. Chen Jiale smiled and took out small gifts she had prepared beforehand, personally handing them to the winners. Each gift carried recognition and praise for them, and also inspired the other teams still working on the puzzle to strive even harder.

Next came the second round of the game – the blindfolded square formation. This game not only tested the individual abilities of each team member but also required a high degree of teamwork and coordination. According to the rules, team members were blindfolded and, under the captain's guidance, had to form a square using ropes. Initially, due to a lack of communication and experience, many teams fell into chaos. Some team members used too much force, causing the ropes to veer off course; others scrambled to their feet because they misheard the instructions. The scene was filled with shouts and laughter, making it somewhat comical.

However, as time went on, everyone gradually found their rhythm. The team leaders began to calm down and issue instructions in clear and concise language; the team members also learned to listen and execute orders better. They judged the position of the rope by touch and feel, and adjusted their movements accordingly. Slowly, the originally messy rope began to take on a regular shape, and finally successfully formed a perfect square.

When the last team completed the challenge, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Similarly, the winners received a carefully prepared gift as a reward. This gift was not only recognition of their hard work but also a high praise for their teamwork.

The final game was a knowledge quiz, a true test of teamwork and collaboration. At the start of the event, host Chen Jiale stood center stage, microphone in hand, introducing the rules. His loud, clear voice and assertive tone quickly captured everyone's attention. "The upcoming competition will be very interesting!" he said. "The questions cover a wide range of areas, including our company's business knowledge and everyday life, making them both challenging and educational."

After his explanation, the groups quickly got to work. They sat together, carefully discussing every possible question and developing corresponding answering strategies. To ensure everything went smoothly, each group also appointed a dedicated recorder to take notes so they could easily refer to relevant information.

Once the competition officially began, the atmosphere became even more tense and exciting. The host read out the questions one by one, and members of each group eagerly raised their hands to answer. Some questions concerned the features of the company's latest products, requiring participants to have solid professional knowledge; others were about everyday common sense, testing everyone's observation skills. Regardless of the type of question, they all sparked lively discussions and reflections.

One group excelled when answering a question about the company's history. They not only gave the correct answer but also added interesting background information, earning rounds of applause from the audience. Meanwhile, another group displayed remarkable creativity when faced with a challenging mathematical logic problem. Through group discussion, they cleverly used the process of elimination to narrow down the possibilities, ultimately arriving at the correct answer.

Throughout the competition, each group demonstrated exceptional enthusiasm and creativity. They supported each other, progressed together, and fully leveraged the advantages of teamwork. Even when faced with numerous challenges, no one gave up; instead, they worked together to find solutions.

Finally, after several rounds of fierce competition, the team that answered the most questions correctly emerged as the champion of this knowledge competition. Chen Jiale stepped forward again, smiling, to present them with the prizes. These prizes were not only material rewards, but more importantly, they symbolized honor and achievement, and were the greatest reward for the team's hard work.

With that, all the games and activities have successfully concluded. This series of diverse activities not only strengthened team cohesion but also brought joy and personal growth to everyone. Everyone expressed that such activities were very meaningful and hoped they could be held regularly to allow more colleagues to participate and create more wonderful memories together.

Around noon, with the successful conclusion of the last game, a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere filled the venue. Chen Mengyao stood in the center of the lush green lawn, the sunlight bathing her, adding warmth and vitality. Smiling, she spoke clearly to the gathered group: "Dear colleagues, today's activities have come to a temporary end. Thank you all very much for your hard work and teamwork throughout the process. It is thanks to your support that these games were able to be completed so smoothly."

She paused briefly, glanced around at the expectant faces around her, and continued, "Now, everyone can take this time to rest and relax. Later, we'll work together to prepare a delicious lunch and enjoy our cooking time in nature. And don't forget, there's an exciting bonfire party waiting for us tonight! Let's gather around the roaring fire, sing, dance, and spend an unforgettable evening together!"

Chen Mengyao's words were like a spring breeze, making everyone feel even more cheerful. Everyone nodded in response, with satisfied smiles on their faces, and began to disperse in twos and threes. Some sat down to chat, while others tidied up the space. The whole scene was both warm and harmonious.
