Chapter 08 Time May Turn Sweetness into Bitterness

Although Qiao An's company is usually busy, the treatment has always been good. For example, they celebrate their birthdays as employees, and the company also has benefits.

On her birthday, Joan received a small cake and a 500 yuan shopping card from the trade union.

"Brother An, happy birthday!"

"Qiao Bu, you're getting promoted every day! Happy birthday!"

As soon as Qiao An arrived at his department, he received repeated blessings from the masses.

Everyone's joy also infected him, Qiao An clapped his hands and announced: "I'm going to treat you after work today!"

A sentence is like pouring hot water into boiling oil, and the office is full of excited cheers.Everyone was so happy that even Mr. Li didn't pay attention the first time when he entered the gate.

"What are you so happy about?"

Most of the employees have a good impression of Li Shuyang, the new general manager who has not been in office for a long time.

Although Li Shuyang is quite demanding in official affairs, he is quite friendly in private, coupled with his young age, high achievements and good-looking appearance, he has won many hearts.

Some bold ones booed.

"Our birthday star is going to treat us!"

"Really." Mr. Li nodded, no different from a considerate boss, he looked at Qiao An and smiled politely, "Congratulations."

Qiao An's heart ached from Li Shuyang's cold expression, he forced a smile, but still mustered up the courage to invite.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, if it's convenient, let's go together."

He was ready to be rejected, but he still couldn't restrain the expectation in his heart. He really hoped that Mr. Li would be by his side when he celebrated his birthday.

But it must be impossible, Joan sighed self-deprecatingly.

"Of course, if Mr. Li is inconvenient, then..."

But Li Shuyang finally spoke, he said.

"Okay, I can go."

Joan finally decided to book dinner at a popular hot pot restaurant.After all, there are many people who want to eat hot pot, which is lively and cost-effective.

Today's Qiao An is the protagonist, so naturally he was pushed to the top table by his colleagues along with their President Li.

Qiao An sat down next to Mr. Li this time. Today, a total of ten people came, and one table was not enough for two tables, so everyone crowded and sat on a big round table.Naturally, Qiao An and Li Shuyang were quite close, and occasionally even accidentally touched their legs.

As soon as he touched it, Joan was like a little animal whose fur had exploded, and he couldn't help jumping up.

He would think of their first date, many years ago, when they had just secured their relationship.

That time when Li Shuyang asked him to watch a movie, they sat next to each other, Qiao An secretly and carefully put his leg on Mr Li's, he thought it was sweet at that time, and he had to make an inch of it with Mr Li's tired crooked We are together, and we don't want to separate until the end of the show.

How could Joan at that time have expected that he would be on pins and needles because of the same thing today.He couldn't deliberately get up or change seats, so he could only lean awkwardly to the left, away from Mr. Li on the right.

He deliberately joked with his colleagues next to him, hoping to alleviate his confusion.

But he didn't notice that Li Shuyang's face darkened, and he clenched his palms tightly.
