Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 428: Year-End Meeting—Not for Human Consumption
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, "Comrade Niu Xiaoli, making friends is a gradual process. No one becomes friends right away."
Niu Xiaoli paused for two seconds, "Okay, so how many days are you planning on ’gradual’?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Great, she’s just playing the lute to a cow, this girl’s thinking is not like a normal person.
"Comrade Niu, why are you insistent on being friends with me?"
She asked helplessly, they’re not even familiar with each other, she just didn’t get why this gal insisted on being friends.
Niu Xiaoli thought for a moment and opened her mouth, "Because the person I like likes you, and if we become good friends, you won’t compete with me for him. Friends don’t mess with each other’s men."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
What the heck, ’friends don’t mess with each other’s men’.
Just when she was feeling a headache, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
"Xiaoxiao, Director Chen wants to talk to you about something, hurry over."
Zhang Yulan was making faces at her from behind Niu Xiaoli.
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Comrade Niu, I have to leave now."
She quickly followed Zhang Yulan away.
As they walked away, Zhang Yulan whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you should stay away from Niu Xiaoli, I think she’s a bit off in the head."
Su Xiaoxiao thought, no need to remind me, I noticed too, who makes friends like her?
Sighing, she thanked Zhang Yulan and returned to her office.
As she entered, a ’ding’ notification suddenly sounded in her mind.
She casually opened the interface, and a delivery message popped up.
It was actually a large package sent from Hai City.
Unexpectedly, the seafood cans she ordered were shipped so quickly, fantastic, her shop link has long been sold out, just in time to profit again.
Recently, she discovered the game mall added a new feature—it can monitor packages sent to her in real time, whether from this era or modern times.
Speaking of which, the mall feature in this virtual game is what she uses most now, she hasn’t really explored the rest yet.
She was thinking about this while casually picking up the enamel mug from the table, just about to take a sip, when a striking red alert popped up in her view: "Warning! Laxative detected in water, be careful!"
Laxative?
Su Xiaoxiao got scared and quickly put down the enamel mug, she was only out for a little while and someone despicably put laxatives in her cup?
After a bit of thought, she immediately had a suspect in mind—Liu Changjiang.
Besides him, she hadn’t offended anyone else recently.
Just as she thought of this, her office door was knocked.
"Manager Su, the General Manager wants you to join the meeting."
Su Xiaoxiao remembered it’s nearly year-end, all departments must prepare year-end summaries, she’s newly in charge so she definitely has to attend this meeting.
This person dosing her now is trying to make her embarrass herself in front of all the department store leaders, how malicious.
She acknowledged and headed straight to the meeting room.
On the way, she just brushed past Liu Changjiang heading the opposite way. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Liu Changjiang saw her, a smug expression almost overflowed from his face.
Fighting with him, that brat was finished today.
He couldn’t wait to see Su Xiaoxiao’s embarrassing moment, sneakily followed behind.
But with his huge physique and the hallway having nowhere to hide, no matter how cautious he was, Su Xiaoxiao spotted him immediately.
She was now a hundred percent sure Liu Changjiang was the one who dosed her.
His schadenfreude expression was simply unmasked.
She calmly carried the enamel mug into the meeting room, several department store leaders were already there.
Chen Meilan saw her come in and waved slightly for her to come sit.
Su Xiaoxiao hurried over to sit beside her.
At this moment, Yan Guohua walked in holding an enamel mug, scanned around, saw everyone was present, cleared his throat about to start official business when rustling noises came from the door.
At the door, Liu Changjiang was crouching down peeking through the gap, waiting to see Su Xiaoxiao’s joke, but hadn’t seen anything yet when suddenly the door was pulled open, he couldn’t stop and fell flat on his face.
"Comrade Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Changjiang didn’t expect the General Manager to personally come, scrambled up from the ground, "Just passing by, General Manager, I’ll leave immediately."
Finished speaking, he slipped away in a hurry.
Yan Guohua closed the door with a dark face, returned to continue hosting the meeting.
"Alright, everyone’s here, let’s start the year-end summary meeting..."
Outside, Liu Changjiang returned along the same path, not wanting to miss that brat’s embarrassing moment.
He thought for a bit and chose a corner to crouch, so when that brat emerged, he’d be able to see her embarrassment first-hand.
This year-end meeting besides conveying superior instructions and policies, included the crucial component of each department leader’s year-end work summaries and plans for the new year; the whole process was tedious and lengthy.
Su Xiaoxiao forced herself to drink two mugs of coffee to keep from falling asleep during the meeting.
Looking around, everyone was yawning in sync, she couldn’t help but sigh, this year-end meeting really wasn’t something humans attended.
"Alright, this concludes today’s meeting, let’s work harder to achieve great results in the new year!"
As Yan Guohua finished his last sentence, the groggy crowd instantly perked up and jumped from their seats.
Manager Li led the way opening the door, then was stunned by the sight before him.
Wasn’t this someone? Why are they sleeping here?
At the door lay someone sprawled out, snoring loudly.
Su Xiaoxiao peeked out, it was none other than Liu Changjiang who tried to set her up.
Liu Changjiang hazily wiped the drool from his mouth, turned over, and continued sleeping.
Yan Guohua’s forehead twitched, kicked Liu Changjiang on the butt, "Get up!"
This Liu Changjiang was becoming more and more out of control, blatantly absent and now sleeping at the meeting room door as if it was his own bed?
"Who the heck dares kick me!"
Liu Changjiang cursed and opened his eyes, faced a crowd of leaders staring, quietly swallowed, "Um... would you believe me if I said I fainted from low blood sugar?"
"Liu Changjiang! Get in here!"
Yan Guohua roared, Liu Changjiang immediately got up from the ground, followed him into the meeting room with his head hanging low.
"You’re either capable, or get out!"
A shout came out from the tightly closed meeting room, heard by half the department store.
Su Xiaoxiao shrank back, usually the General Manager looks quite gentle, didn’t expect he’d be so fierce when scolding someone.
Soon, Liu Changjiang returned to the counter with a sullen face, glared fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao passing by.
"Su Xiaoxiao, just you wait! This isn’t over!"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Changjiang’s enamel mug on the counter, saw him angrily gulp down a mouthful, and started silently counting in her head.
