Song Luokui never expected that Chi Yu would take her to Jing Mountain Park. At this time, there was no one at Jing Mountain Park. The two climbed up one of the peaks, from where they could see the entire Forbidden City.
Snow flurried, dim lights glowed, Song Luokui looked up at the snow, and Chi Yu looked up for a moment before turning to gaze at her.
"Achoo!" Song Luokui suddenly sneezed, rubbing her hands. The scenery was beautiful, but it seemed a little cold.
Chi Yu suddenly took off his scarf and wrapped it around her. Song Luokui looked up at him - his long eyelashes, high nose bridge, exquisite face, as he leaned down to carefully wrap the scarf around her neck.
After he finished wrapping the scarf, Chi Yu looked up, meeting her gaze.
Song Luokui immediately sensed that the atmosphere now seemed a bit ambiguous, no - it should be very... She saw Chi Yu suddenly raise his hand, his fingers gently touching her cheek...
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. Song Luokui immediately took a step back, looking towards the stairs, where a man was holding something.
Chi Yu stood up and walked over. The man handed Chi Yu the items, then left. Chi Yu was holding two hot drinks, offering one to her.
Song Luokui took it, appreciating his thoughtfulness. Sipping the hot cocoa and admiring the snowy scenery, she even took a photo. After finishing the hot cocoa and enjoying the view for a while longer,
Chi Yu suddenly asked, "Do you want to enter the Forbidden City?"
Song Luokui: "It seems quite late now, it's probably closed, right?" Then, recalling the Chi family's status, she realized entering might not be difficult. She shook her head, "Let's not go in."
Chi Yu: "Then do you want a late night snack?"
Song Luokui checked the time - it was indeed a good time for a late night snack. "Where shall we go?"
Chi Yu led her down, the ground covered in snow. Worried she might slip, he grabbed her wrist through her clothes. "Hold onto me, so you don't fall."
"Mm." Song Luokui didn't act coy either. After they went down, Chi Yu took her to a private club. In a private room with glass walls overlooking the snowy scene, they enjoyed a hot pot meal. Overall, Song Luokui felt very satisfied.
After midnight, Chi Yu finally sent Song Luokui home. She tiptoed back, feeling for the first time that living at home seemed inconvenient, mainly because she didn't want her family to find out.
Back in her room, she realized she was still wearing Chi Yu's scarf. "I still have your scarf. I'll wash it and return it."
Chi Yu: "Mm, no rush."
The next day, she woke up to a snow-white Beijing, with the New Year atmosphere gradually thickening. In less than two weeks, it would be the new year.
Her family had started the big clean-up, and various New Year supplies were slowly being purchased. In addition to the Song family, the entire courtyard was being cleaned, and even the trees were being decorated.
Before the holiday, Song Hua Technology held its annual gala, and Song Luosheng invited Song Luokui to attend.
In addition to dining and prize drawings, there would be performances, and it was said that popular celebrities had been invited to sing.
Of course Song Luokui would go. The gala started at 7pm, held at a venue in an international convention center that had been rented out.
Unexpectedly, Mountain Yu Technology was also holding its gala there. So when Song Luosheng drove Song Luokui to the convention center parking lot, as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Chi Yu getting out of a car on the opposite side, looking both surprised and uncomfortable.
Song Luokui glanced at Chi Yu, then immediately lowered her head. Chi Yu also noticed Song Luokui's exposed ankles and frowned, wondering what kind of brother Song Luosheng was.
Song Luokui was wearing a dress inside, with a long down jacket reaching her ankles. She wore high heels but no socks, so Chi Yu felt she must be cold.
Song Luokui glanced at Chi Yu, then immediately lowered her head again - she still hadn't returned his scarf.
Song Luosheng let out a soft "hmph", pulling Song Luokui towards the elevator, while Chi Yu's group did the same.
The elevator ride was silent. Along the way, Chen Nan received a call saying the gala was about to start and asking when the boss would arrive.
Chen Nan: "We'll be there soon."
Hearing that they were also holding their gala here at the same time and place made Song Luosheng even more uncomfortable. What was Chi Yu's intent?
The elevator soon arrived. Song Luosheng muttered, "Learning from others," before pulling Song Luokui out. Chi Yu's group went up to the next floor.
It was only then that Chen Nan said, "Boss, it seems Song Hua is also holding its gala here."
Chi Yu thought of Song Luokui, wondering why she seemed so well-dressed today. Then he worried - would someone invite her to dance at the gala?
Chi Yu's hand instantly clenched.
Meanwhile, Song Luosheng and Song Luokui arrived at the venue, sitting in the front row.
Lin Xingyan: "Sir, since you're here, shall we begin?"
Song Luosheng nodded: "Everyone's arrived, so let's start."
Soon, Lin Xingyan took the stage. "Quiet please, I hereby announce the start of Song Hua Technology's annual gala. First, let's invite our Chairman, Song Luosheng, to give a speech."
"Applause" rang out from the energetic audience.
Song Luosheng straightened his tie and went on stage. The staff began serving food below, so employees could eat while watching the performances later.
Song Luosheng first greeted everyone, then summarized the year's achievements, praising and encouraging the employees. "Thank you all for your contributions to the company. Enjoy yourselves tonight, and happy early New Year!"
The crowd replied, "Happy New Year!"
After Song Luosheng stepped down, two hosts appeared on stage to begin the performances.
While eating, Song Luokui watched the performances, which included celebrity singers as well as employee acts.
After returning to his seat, Song Luosheng had barely taken two bites before waves of people started coming over to toast him.
"Thank you for your leadership, Chairman. It's the reason for Song Hua's growing success."
Song Luosheng looked full of vigor. "Thank you, thank you, it's thanks to your support."
Seeing Song Luosheng drinking quite a bit, Song Luokui grew concerned. "Slow down, Brother."
Song Luosheng: "It's fine, the drinks are half water."
Song Luokui: ...I see.
After a few performances, the first round of prize drawings began. Third prizes for fifty people included Honor's sports watches and bands, robotic vacuums, dishwashers, and more, each worth over three thousand yuan.
"Let's welcome the department managers to come draw prizes."
The department managers took turns drawing winners. Song Luokui felt excited too, clutching the small slip of paper given at the entrance for the drawing.
"First, congratulations to the lucky number 24156. Is 24156 here? 24156, please come up to the stage."
From the back, a young woman rushed up. The host asked her to wait aside.
Then the second winner, the third...
After fifty people were selected, the managers handed out the gifts. Finally, Song Luosheng went on stage again for a group photo.
