Lin Yan got off work early, and before leaving, she sent a message to Xu Jing asking if she wanted to wait for her.

But what was waiting for him was Xu Jing's voice that sounded very hasty.

"I'm a little busy today. You should go first. I'll try to arrive on time."

Xu Jing didn't know what was going on today. Work came one after another, and it seemed like she was the busiest in the entire department.

Could it be that God doesn't want her to be single?

Just after replying to Lin Yan's message, another thick folder appeared in front of Xu Jing's eyes.

Li Yan stood next to Xu Jing's workstation and looked at her condescendingly.

"After you summarize the customer's orders, send them to my email before leaving get off work."

When Li Yan passed by the restaurant, she deliberately walked around Xu Jing and Lin Yan's table and overheard their conversation.

Although I don't know what they are going to do, they must have an appointment.

Li Yan can't fix Lin Yan for the time being, but Xu Jing can still make arrangements as she pleases.

After all, aren't they good besties? Let's just share the trouble.

"Collect data?"

Xu Jing frowned and did not take the folder. She was not Li Yan's secretary.

This deputy director with a background had been at loggerheads with her since the first day he took office, and his words were always sour, as if Xu Jing had stolen her boyfriend.

"Sorry, this is not my job."

Xu Jing has won the sales title and has a stable customer base, so she has the confidence to deal with the deputy director.

It would be fine if she was idle, but she is really busy today.

"I told you to do it, and that's your job, unless you don't want the year-end bonus."

Li Yan sneered and threw the documents on Xu Jing's desk.

Oh, it’s not that easy to go to an appointment.

Li Yan arranged a lot of work for Xu Jing today, which was enough to keep her busy until late at night.

Xu Jing sighed helplessly. She was a worker and her year-end bonus was based on performance, so she had to give up the money.

After taking a sip of water to calm down, Xu Jing began to work hard.

…

When Lin Yan arrived at the hotel, she went to the room to change clothes first.

Yu Beichen prepared a pale pink dress with princess sleeves for her. The size was one size looser than what Lin Yan usually wears so that it would not pinch her belly.

The skirt is embedded with metal tassels and fluffy feathers, which sway with the wind as you walk.

After briefly applying makeup, Lin Yan walked to the elevator leading to the sky garden.

From the glass ceiling of the sky garden, you can see that the sky is a bit chaotic and gray, and scattered snowflakes are falling slowly, melting before they even hit the ground.

It snows a little on Christmas, which is quite fitting for the occasion.

Lin Yan thought she had arrived very early, but she didn't expect everyone to arrive earlier than her.

The room was decorated with clean blue and white balloons, making it look like a birthday party. Although it was a small gathering, the sense of ceremony was not lacking at all.

Qiao Naiwen was sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds out of boredom. When she saw Lin Yan coming, she immediately came over to greet her.

A simple pure black high-slit tube top skirt highlighted her long legs.

"This skirt of yours suits you very well!"

With Qiao Naiwen in charge of the atmosphere, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about. Lin Yan didn't feel restricted, and everyone knew each other. After greeting each other, Lin Yan sat next to Qiao Naiwen.

"Your necklace is also very beautiful."

Lin Yan didn't mean it as a compliment. She was a jewelry designer and an expert. The workmanship of this necklace was very exquisite, and the dazzling red diamond inlaid in the middle looked very familiar to Lin Yan.

"Is this diamond..."

Just as Lin Yan was about to tell the name of the diamond, the door lock made a sound.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the door in unison.

A tall man walked in slowly, wearing a well-tailored pure black suit, with long, narrow and deep eyes.

Every move he makes, his cool and dignified temperament is natural.

When he got married, Lin Yan gave him silver enamel logo cufflinks on his cuffs, which complemented the platinum wedding ring on his ring finger.

Different from the handsome appearance in the past, Yu Beichen's dress today has a very formal feel.

Looking at Yu Beichen, who was exuding charm without hesitation, everyone understood it tacitly. Only Lin Yan was still in the dark.

I simply think that Yu Beichen looks very good today.

The first thing Yu Beichen saw when he entered the room was the pink Lin Yan. Sure enough, the dress he personally selected for her was very suitable.

"Are you tired of waiting?"

Yu Beichen walked to Lin Yan naturally.

"I just came here not long ago."

The familiar cold scent of sandalwood approached, making Lin Yan suddenly feel a sense of security.

"Hey, Lao Yu, could you please open your eyes? There are others in this room."

"That's right, it doesn't say on the menu today that the pre-dinner dessert is dog food."

Qiao Naiwen and Qin Yu joked and joked about Yu Beichen.

"By the way, why didn't that boy Yu Beixing come? It's impossible for him not to come and join in the fun on this occasion."

Qin Yu took out his cell phone and was about to call Yu Beixing.

"Don't worry about him. He's gone to study. There's no signal."

Yu Beichen said calmly.

Qin Yu and Qiao Naiwen looked at each other and felt that the matter was not simple. The boy must have done something to offend Yu Beichen and was thrown into that ravine to be punished.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, felt that it would be better if Yu Beixing didn't come.

Every time there was a party where Yu Beixing was present, his head was buzzing with noise, and he wished he could go deaf on the spot.

Now, the only thing missing is Xu Jing.

I heard that Xu Jing was working overtime, and everyone said to wait for her, since she wasn't very hungry anyway.

Moreover, it is rare for Gu Yan to take the initiative to invite a woman to a date, so this face must be given.

Everyone was chatting about trivial matters about life and work on the desktop, but the group chat in Lao Yu's small conference room was in full swing.

Qiao Naiwen: Lao Yu, are you ready? Do you want us to assist?

Qin Yu: Today’s labor is limited and free of charge.

Gu Yan: It doesn’t matter, just don’t be too oily.

Yu Beichen stared at the phone, a bit nervous in his deep eyes.

I will confess to Lin Yan later. Will she be too moved and cry?

Thinking of this, Yu Beichen secretly put a pack of tissues in his pocket for later use.

About half an hour later, Xu Jing was still nowhere to be seen.

It was already dark, so Xu Jing should have called to tell her if she couldn't come.

"Why don't you serve the food first? I'll call and ask where she is."

Lin Yan was embarrassed to keep everyone waiting. After all, they were all here to celebrate Gu Yan's birthday.

Just as Lin Yan was about to pick up her cell phone, the cell phone screen on the table lit up by itself, and the caller ID showed that it was Xu Jing.

"She may be arriving soon."
