Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 22 Attending the Dinner Party
Hearing this, I finally felt relieved and thanked Sister Lin gratefully.
At that moment, I noticed that several colleagues hadn't had breakfast yet. So, I warmly invited them to come and enjoy this high-end, five-star breakfast.
Sure enough, it tasted delicious, and everyone ate with great relish, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
Everyone returned to their workstations and began another day's work. They continued analyzing the two documents from yesterday and verifying the accuracy of the data.
However, while everyone was engrossed in their work, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the office.
At first, we didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just noise from the next room. But the sound got louder and louder, like someone was crying.
I looked around curiously and finally found that the voice was coming from a female colleague who was usually quiet. She was leaning on the table, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around her with concern. I gently patted her shoulder and asked softly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The female colleague looked up, tears blurring her vision, and choked out, "I received devastating news: my mother has passed away..."
The entire office fell silent; no one knew how to comfort her.
A heavy atmosphere filled the air, as if time had frozen.
Everyone's face showed sadness and sympathy as they silently watched their female colleague, hoping to offer her some warmth and strength.
Just then, Sister Lin stepped forward. She walked gently to her female colleague, held her hand tightly, and her eyes shone with determination.
Sister Lin said softly, "Don't be sad, we will all be there for you through this difficult time." Her voice was full of gentleness and comfort, giving people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
The female colleague looked at Sister Lin gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes again. But this time, she was no longer alone, because so many colleagues were by her side.
Sister Lin encouraged him, saying, "Life always has its ups and downs, and difficulties are only temporary. Believe in yourself, and you will definitely be able to face everything with strength."
Other colleagues also expressed their willingness to help the female colleague with the funeral arrangements and to provide various forms of support and care.
At that moment, the entire office seemed to be enveloped by a warm power, and everyone's heart was filled with care and sympathy for this female colleague.
Everyone offered a helping hand, and whether it was verbal comfort or practical assistance, it made the female colleague feel incredibly warm.
Some people gently patted her on the shoulder and told her to be strong; some people handed her a cup of hot tea so that she could feel the care from the group; and some people offered to help with some tasks to lighten her burden.
Although everyone expressed themselves differently, they were all conveying an important message to her in their own way: "We are here and will help you get through this difficult time."
In the next few minutes, everyone worked together to help their female colleague with various tasks.
Some people arranged her funeral, contacting funeral homes and other relevant departments; others were responsible for notifying other relatives and friends and coordinating the time and place; still others helped organize documents in the office to ensure that work was not affected.
At the same time, everyone paid attention to her emotional changes, took opportunities to communicate with her from time to time, understood her needs and difficulties, and did their best to meet her requirements.
In this process, everyone gradually came to understand a principle: a team is not just a workplace, but a big family where everyone supports each other and grows together.
When faced with difficulties, only by uniting and helping each other can we better cope with challenges and achieve common goals.
This incident became a valuable experience for everyone, making them cherish their friendship and cooperative relationship even more.
Of course, I only realized these things later. At the time, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Some people comforted their female colleagues, some helped print and fill out leave forms, Sister Lin helped submit the leave forms, and I was responsible for helping her pack the necessary items.
In addition, a colleague has a car and can help take her home or anywhere else she needs to go. In short, everyone is doing their best to help, making her feel the warmth and care of the group.
After everyone busily saw off their female colleague, they finally got back to their own work.
Soon it was noon, and everyone went to the restaurant together. They were all filled with emotion and had different insights into life and death.
When everyone returned from their afternoon break, they continued with their work, and took over the work from their female colleague so she could go home with peace of mind.
Because of this incident, everyone was less cheerful than in the morning and more focused on their work. I was the same; I only realized it was time to leave work when the alarm rang.
After packing her things, Sister Lin came to my workstation, which was originally empty but was now filled with cosmetics.
Sister Lin pulled me to the bathroom. She took out facial cleanser and gently washed my face. She also took out a face mask, which, in Sister Lin's words, was an emergency lifesaver and would make my makeup last longer.
I was like an obedient child, doing whatever I was told. Before long, I finished my makeup. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt a little unfamiliar. This was actually me! This makeup artistry is amazing; it's like a magician has transformed me into someone else.
I went to the dressing room, changed into the dress, and came out. Sister Lin's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a treasure. She led me back to my workstation, took out a very antique-style hairpin, and styled my hair into a very elegant and ethereal hairstyle, making me look like a fairy descending to earth.
Sister Lin looked at me as if I were a work of art, which made me a little shy.
When Sister Lin saw my slightly flushed cheeks, she snapped out of her daze. While tidying up the cosmetics on her desk, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaomi, who was already very pretty, would look even more beautiful now after dressing up, like a fairy descending to earth."
I felt even more embarrassed, my cheeks turned even redder, and I lowered my head as if afraid of being seen. "Sister Lin, you always tease me. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lin. I'll treat you to a nice meal another day."
Sister Lin quickly finished packing, answered a phone call, and left before me. I put the clothes I had changed out of into my backpack, sat down at my workstation, and put the backpack into the herb field warehouse space, along with the key.
Holding my phone, I had just entered the elevator and was about to go downstairs when Han Heng called. After answering, he told me I was on the basement level.
At this time, everyone who was off work had left, and the elevator went down to the basement level without any problems.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Han Heng waiting outside. Today he was wearing a white suit that looked like it was custom-made, which matched my dress perfectly.
He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and walked over to me to open the car door. I then realized that I had a driver today, the same guy who drove me to work this morning, but the car was different; it wasn't the same one from this morning, and this one had a very spacious back seat.
Han Heng sat down next to me, gestured for the driver to start the car, turned his head slightly and smiled as he asked me, "Little Lele, you're so beautiful, even more so in this dress. How is it, does it fit? The box in front of your feet contains shoes for you. Change them before you get out of the car. When we get to the banquet, I'll need your help to be my date. That way, you'll have some status and no one will bother you."
I felt a little embarrassed, so I took out the shoe box in front of my feet, put the shoes on, and they actually fit very well and were very comfortable.
"Thank you for the compliment. They all fit perfectly. Thank you for taking me to the banquet. It's not so much that I did you a favor, but rather that you did me a favor. Otherwise, given my lazy nature, I would have gone straight home after work. I wouldn't go out unless absolutely necessary. It's okay, I'll put them on now and get used to them. They're very comfortable, so it won't be a problem." While thanking Han Heng, she put the shoes she had taken off into the box.
The driver drove very steadily and quickly, and soon arrived at the gate of Sikong Feng's manor from yesterday. However, he did not stop, but drove a little further to another manor next to Sikong Feng's. When they arrived at the gate, someone came to open it.
Han Heng got out of the car first and turned to me, extending his arm for me to help him out. The moment I stepped out, I realized that the white lace-trimmed high heels were indeed quite high. Fortunately, Han Heng was there to help me walk inside. As we approached the open door, I felt more comfortable and changed my support to gently resting my arm on Han Heng's forearm.
As soon as we entered the banquet hall, we felt everyone looking at us. We hadn't walked more than a few meters when Han Heng and I were surrounded by people who recognized him. They greeted us one by one. Soon, Ye Dongjun and Sikong Feng also arrived. Ye Dongjun was wearing a custom-made light green suit, while Sikong Feng was wearing his usual black haute couture suit.
The two of them walked quickly toward us. Those around us waved and greeted them one by one, and then dispersed.
Ye Dongjun slightly controlled his excitement, "Wow, Xiao Lele, you were already very beautiful, but you look even better in this outfit. Your older brother has excellent taste."
Sikong Feng smiled slightly, but not much, probably because there were outsiders around, making it feel colder than if we were alone.
"Hmm, although Ye Dongjun is irresponsible and unreliable, what he said is true. Little Lele is indeed very beautiful. I'll take you to the VIP room, you can sit and rest for a while." Sikong Feng was about to take my wrist and lead me away.
Han Heng stopped him, saying, "I'll take her. Your fiancée is here. Don't let it cause any misunderstandings and make things difficult for Xiao Lele."
This time, Sikong Feng noticed a beautiful young woman behind me. Sure enough, she was his nemesis and fiancée. He had no choice but to let go of my hand, say goodbye, walk towards the woman, take her hand, and seem to be explaining the situation and my identity.
Han Heng took me to the VIP room on the second floor. He was just about to sit with me for a while when he was called away by others. He told them to make sure Ye Dongjun took good care of me and then left.
Fortunately, Ye Dongjun was there, otherwise I would have been so bored and annoyed. He even told me a lot of lame jokes.
We were having a pleasant conversation when we heard footsteps outside the door. When we turned around, we saw Sikong Feng and his fiancée.
After entering, Sikong Feng sat upright on the sofa and began to introduce me: "Little Lele, this is my fiancée, Yan Luo. You can just call her Luo Luo from now on." Then he turned to Yan Luo and said, "Yan Luo, this is Mi Le. You can just call her Little Lele." We nodded to each other, indicating that we knew each other.
Yan Luo and I were initially a bit bored, but we gradually got into a lively conversation because we shared a common interest in medicinal plants. The more we talked, the more we clicked, and eventually we started calling each other sisters.
As we prepared to attend the banquet, Yan Luo naturally took my hand and we walked downstairs together. The way we held hands drew attention from everyone present.
Sure enough, as soon as we went downstairs, we became the center of attention again. People around us began to whisper and discuss among themselves. Someone asked curiously, "Isn't that Yan Luo, Sikong Feng's fiancée? I heard she's from the Yan family! And who is that beautiful woman next to her?"
Another person replied, "Oh, her? She just came in with Han Heng. It seems she's not only close to Ye Dongjun, Sikong Feng, and the others, but also receives a lot of their attention! I really wonder which family's daughter she is."
"Yes, yes, I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard of it?"
"I heard it was organized for a master potion maker. Could this be a junior member of that master potion maker?"
Yan Luo tightened her grip. "Little Lele, don't listen to their nonsense. Don't be afraid. Sikong, Dongjun, and I will definitely not let you be bullied."
Just then, the microphone rang out: "Let's welcome the Master of Alchemy!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Luo handed my hand to Han Heng, who took it and led me onto the stage.
The people in the audience were stunned when they saw Han Heng leading a little girl onto the stage, wondering what he was going to do.
I was also a little dazed, standing blankly in the center of the stage, looking at the dark mass of people below.
Han Heng placed me on the stage, then picked up the microphone and introduced me to everyone in the banquet hall: "This is the master of potion making, Miler. The potions that your family members have obtained were prepared by her in front of the three of us."
The people in the audience looked surprised and began to discuss among themselves.
Finally, several elderly people walked in from outside. They looked very venerable, and were followed by a group of people. These elderly people walked to the front of the stage, pushed aside the people supporting them, and bowed deeply to me.
After they finished bowing, they were helped up by the people next to them and walked onto the stage.
At this moment, the people below the stage suddenly fell silent, as if time had frozen.
He was probably the most prestigious elder among them. He nodded to Han Heng beside him, and Han Heng handed the microphone to the elder.
After the old man took the microphone, his powerful voice was like a dragon that had been sleeping for many years suddenly awakening, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
"Listen up, all of you! From this day forward, Master Miler will be protected by the Sikong, Han, Yan, Ye, and Qin families. If I hear any more negative things about her, we will immediately cease all business dealings with your families!" The old man's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart.
His eyes were sharp and imposing, impossible to ignore. His tone was firm and unquestionable, inspiring awe. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the people below expressed their agreement, saying they would no longer dare to have such thoughts.
I stood there, speechless. Then, as before, they carefully escorted me back to the VIP room on the second floor. This time, however, in addition to us, there were the same respected elderly gentlemen who had been downstairs. Their faces radiated respect and goodwill, their eyes revealing their appreciation for me.
As soon as I sat down, I quickly stood up and bowed slightly to the elderly people to show my respect. Their presence filled the room with an atmosphere of solemnity and dignity.
