Monday, December 31 Monday Weather: Low Pressure Though Out the City.

Every New Year’s Eve, AC New Year Reception will be held at the top floor of Rong s.h.i.+ Hua main hall, 360 degree ring-shaped starlight ballroom.

Those invited guests by the employees have shown up together with their partners and those who doesn’t have are holding their colleagues’ arm. But me, I was holding a huge Fengyang* flower-drum appear le.

*凤阳/Fèng yáng is a county in Chuzhou.

‘Aiya, Xiao Bei, thank you le. I was so busy here scoring can’t even slip myself, thanks to you le.’ At that time when I was dressing up as a sausage, Mei Gong big sister and I have a deep bond affection, all I can do was helping to bring one decoration drum that had been left behind in the office.

‘You’re most welcome, if nothing than I will go first.’

Mei Gong big sister was so grateful and bid me good bye. Once I turn around I saw everyone was engrossed into the preparation of the final task before the opening of the c.o.c.ktail reception. I was running toward Peter’s car at the car park to change my shoes.

When I was rus.h.i.+ng toward the Mini Polo, one silver-grey commercial van with astonis.h.i.+ng speed from the outside rush in. I slant to the front not far from the parking s.p.a.ce of an emergency stop and stayed le. Just when I was feeling regretful toward this excellent driver skill, Yifan jumped out from the car, stopped in front of me and said: ‘Stop, let me see.’

I obediently stood still, allow this medicine madman to see the whole body of the beautiful corpse that his eyes was lingering on, when he saw the skirt, he frowned.

I looked down, at once reach out with one’s hand to calm him down, the reason was because of the crease mark from the drum when I was holding it: ‘Is all right, just pull and stretch will do, you see everything will be good le.’

Yifan’s eyes moved toward my feet, then he went crazy. ‘Guan Xiao Bei! That sneakers! That sneaker of your, what is this! I remember going to work must also dress formally ba? When you dress formally did you wear sneakers?!’

‘No, no,’ I hastily explained, ‘when I was helping to move things, I changed the shoes. Ladies wearing high heels are inconvenient.’

‘Then it seem to be you? Ladies are inconvenience then what about gentlemen ne!’

He reminded me, then I discovered, at that moment when I was energetically holding the one man tall drum sweep past a numerous of AC gentlemen, actually no one is willing to lend a helping hand! These peoples, not only don’t have human nature, even the opposite s.e.x also don’t have!

In order to settle Yifan unfathomable mystery towards the sneakers hatred, I hurriedly get into the car and changed the shoes. Yifan has standing at the side of the door without having the intention of leaving.

‘Why are you not leaving? Upstairs is waiting for your opening.’ I stepped out from the car and the result of my first step I twisted my ankle.

Yifan quickly reached out and hold on to me, his face expression was like ‘I know you can’t do it’ that kind of expression.

‘I’m fine, I can handle myself.’ I used the car door to support, ‘once I get used to it will be fine, isn’t last time I used to wear this before.’

At this moment, one taxi slowly drive in le, Lou Lou came out from the taxi. I saw my savoir and generally shouted: ‘Lou Lou! Come over and give me a hand ba!’

‘See how your breath indicate, change a pair of shoe makes your feet seem like not your own le.’ Lou Lou said.

Yifan saw someone was coming therefore release me le: ‘Lou Lou, then trouble you to help me to support and hold this hopeless idiot to go upstairs.’ Once he finished saying, he turned and walk away.

As a result, a moment ago wearing 10 cm stiletto who rush over the Li Lou student also need to hold the door for support le: ‘Oh G.o.d, Xiao Bei, President actually called me Lou Lou, call me Lou Lou ah!’

‘So what, he called me hopeless idiot too!’ Isn’t wearing high heel ma, is not a written programme code, need to look down upon me ma.’ I mumble to myself.

The c.o.c.ktail reception will start at 5:30pm.

Personnel Manager, Lao Wu is the MC of the tonight. The theme for this year reception is ‘home’. Fat Lao Wu indeed give people one kind of warmth not a serious elder feel. Several Senior Managements started the event with a different style wis.h.i.+ng everyone in AC a blessing New Year, then it was Yifan turn to make a speech.

Yifan walked toward the stage, wait for the applause to calm down, smiled and said: ‘Ladies and gentlemen…….’

During winter, the colour of the sky turn dark very earlier. The 360 degree of the entire open horizon of Starlight ballroom allow us to see the underfoot of the city, the bright neon lights and a clear ink blue sky of winter night.

Yifan place a graceful smile, like a powerful king, vast sky below, *handling a butcher’s cleaver with ease, to drive the wave of deceitful and turbulent changes in the business kingdom.

游刃有余/yóu rèn yǒu yú: handling a butcher’s cleaver with ease (idiom); to do something skilfully and easily.

Glory, pride, wisdom, calm….

I think at this moment my mood can sum up to be proud for AC and also because of Yifan……

Once again I think: ‘Humph, wait for the day when I become rich, I must buy this kind of horizon open s.p.a.ce house and then put one Yifan in the middle, drinking wine…… seeing him roar!

My wild imagination has been interrupted by Lou Lou because Yifan has ended his speech. The following is the time to present several of awards. Lou Lou was so excited and nervous, she grip me and said with an exciting tone: ‘I wish it has me ah.’

‘Me too!’ I said.

Luo Luo turn around and glare at me: ‘You better don’t hope for it le.’

‘Think also cannot ah!’

‘You better think about how to settle the debt, it is more realistic’ she *pour cold water on me.

*泼冷水/pō lěng shuǐ: lit. to pour cold water on; fig. to dampen one’s enthusiasm.

I was stupefied: ‘How come there is such award? Why offer to her ah. If there is, it ought to be me ah!’ Yes ah, the first year of entry, who can be more unlucky than me ne.

Luo Luo said: ‘This baby made the same basic mistake like you, in the middle of checking the wages she calculated extra amount to a certain Senior Management. Fear of being discover and get fired, she used her poor salary to subsidies to the Senior Management. The extra money from his salary simply can’t attract his attention, plus the wage card was not control by him. Therefore by the time incident has exposed, this poor baby has been eating 3 months steamed corn bread in the bas.e.m.e.nt and planing to sell blood.’

‘……’ I was speechless, doesn’t know what to say, in this world unexpectedly do have such a magical creatures!

‘Look at you, doesn’t even earn money but have food, have drink, have house to live and a car to sit. Furthermore new dress to wear and you have President as your dependable. So, who is more unlucky ne?’

I was speechless for a long time: ‘What do you mean President as my dependable?!’
