Chapter 34 Company Carnival Night
The morning sunlight streamed gently into the cozy room through the cracks in the window. Li Yuan, dressed in simple yet elegant loungewear, stood in the center of the living room, cleared her throat, and said to her family members who were having breakfast with a deliberately serious expression, "Family, we're going to the company for a party tonight." Her tone was as if she was about to issue an extremely important strategic order.
Mr. Liu was biting into a piece of bread when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment, then straightened his back as if he had received some special mission, nodded vigorously, and almost spat out the bread crumbs he hadn't swallowed yet. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand and said indistinctly, "Okay, I will obey orders from the leader!" He looked exactly like an obedient soldier.
Li Shiqing, who had been intently watching her phone screen and playing a fun little game, suddenly brightened up at her mother's words, her eyes sparkling like two twinkling stars. She tossed her phone aside and jumped up excitedly, nearly knocking over her chair, but she didn't care. Waving her arms and legs, she shouted, "Wow, that's awesome! Going to the company will be so much fun! Is there some super surprise waiting for us?"
Liu Yixin, on the other hand, remained calm. She slightly raised her head, a faint smile playing on her lips, and slowly put down her milk cup. She nodded gracefully, her demeanor as if she were a wise sage who had already seen through everything. She said softly, "Well, since Mom has arranged it this way, there must be a reason. I'm really looking forward to it."
Looking at the three unique individuals, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh. She walked to the dining table, sat down, and began to explain in detail: "There's an important company event tonight, and I'd like you to come with me. It's very meaningful to me, and it will also help you understand my work better."
Mr. Liu swallowed the food in his mouth and said seriously, "Honey, don't worry, we'll definitely do our best and not let you down. I'll use my enthusiastic service skills from the fruit and vegetable store; maybe they'll even be of help." As he spoke, he exaggeratedly made a "welcome" gesture, making everyone burst into laughter.
Li Shiqing snuggled up to her mother, took her arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I want to wear my prettiest dress so your colleagues can all see that I'm your super cute daughter."
Li Yuan gently pinched her nose: "Daughter, good, good, you little vain girl."
Liu Yixin said thoughtfully, "Mom, should I prepare something in advance? Like help with setting up the venue or prepare some small gifts or something."
Li Yuan looked at her with relief: "No need, baby, just go and have fun."
All day long, an atmosphere of anticipation filled the house. While busy at the fruit and vegetable shop, Mr. Liu couldn't help but hum a little tune, pondering how to make a good impression on his wife at work that evening. Li Shiqing, meanwhile, rummaged through her wardrobe, trying on every single dress, constantly asking Liu Yixin for advice on which one suited her best. Liu Yixin patiently offered her suggestions, while also imagining what the company would be like—would it be like in the movies, filled with people in business attire, rushing around?
Li Yuan was extremely busy at the company, but the thought of her family being by her side that evening filled her with warmth and gave her a great deal of motivation. She meticulously planned every detail of the event, hoping to leave a wonderful impression on her family.
Finally, the Li family of four stood in front of the mirror, adjusting their attire. Li Yuan wore a gorgeous evening gown, exuding a noble air; Mr. Liu wore a handsome suit, trying his best to look more energetic; Li Shiqing wore her carefully chosen pink princess dress, excitedly twirling around; Liu Yixin wore an elegant light blue dress, serene and graceful.
They smiled at each other, then walked out of their house hand in hand, heading towards the company, as if about to embark on a wonderful and meaningful adventure.
As night fell, the city was dazzlingly illuminated by lights. Li Yuan and her family of four stood before a towering commercial building, where a success banquet for Li Yuan's company was about to be held. Li Yuan, the decisive and efficient female CEO, wore a well-tailored black evening gown that perfectly blended her competence and elegance. The click of her high heels on the ground seemed to be a triumphant symphony with every step.
The man next to her, Mr. Liu, her husband, was usually busy at the fruit and vegetable store. Today, he had specially dressed in a sharp suit, but his hands, calloused from handling fruit and vegetable baskets, couldn't hide his hardworking and simple nature. Like a curious child, he looked around, muttering, "This building is really impressive, so much taller than our fruit and vegetable store."
The two daughters, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, wore beautiful princess dresses, held hands, and their eyes sparkled with excitement.
Li Shiqing said like a little adult, "Tonight is going to be a lot of fun, I can't wait!"
Liu Yixin asked curiously, "Mom, what's at the company's success banquet? Is there lots of delicious food?"
As the family stepped into the banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandelier cast its light, illuminating the polished marble floor and reflecting a brilliant glow.
The company's employees gathered around and respectfully greeted Li Yuan, "President Li, you've arrived!" Their voices were so loud they almost lifted the roof off.
Just then, Supervisor Chen swept in like a whirlwind, her face beaming with smiles, her eyes almost squinting into slits. She grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said excitedly, "President Li, congratulations on the resounding success of our new plan! You're truly amazing! This plan is like a super battleship you personally built, charging through the business world unchallenged!"
Li Yuan responded with a smile: "Sister Chen, this wouldn't have been possible without everyone's hard work. You are all warriors on the warship."
The employees nearby chimed in, "President Li is wise; he is leading us to glory."
Li Yuan waved her hand: "Alright, alright, today is a celebration banquet, everyone relax."
The two beautiful young ladies, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, were not neglected either. The employees praised them, saying, "These two ladies are so cute, they are simply fairies descended to earth."
Li Shiqing politely replied, "Thank you, uncles and aunties."
Liu Yixin, a little shy, hid behind her sister and secretly watched everyone.
Mr. Liu stood to the side, looking a little uncomfortable. He whispered to Li Yuan, "Honey, I still feel more comfortable at the fruit and vegetable store. I don't know what to do here."
Li Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "Just stay with me and don't wander off."
The banquet began, and the table was laden with exquisite dishes and various fine wines. Li Yuan led her family to the head table, greeting the heads of various departments along the way.
At the main table, the company's senior executives toasted Li Yuan one after another. A vice president raised his glass, his face flushed, and said, "President Li, your decision on this new plan was so precise, like a stroke of genius, leaving our competitors far behind. I'd like to toast you."
Li Yuan took a small sip of wine: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Everyone has worked hard."
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin were enjoying their cake. Li Shiqing whispered to her sister, "This cake is so delicious, even sweeter than the fruit in Dad's shop."
With her mouth full, Liu Yixin mumbled, "Mmm, I want to eat that little snack too."
Then, a performance began on stage, featuring singing and dancing, all of which were wonderful.
Looking at the stage, Li Yuan said to Boss Liu, "You see, this is part of the company culture. Everyone needs to relax when they are tired from work."
Mr. Liu nodded in agreement: "It is good, but I still prefer the song 'Little Apple' that you play in your store. It sounds more festive."
The two daughters were so excited when they saw the performance on stage that they stood up and clapped.
Li Shiqing said to Liu Yixin, "Little sister, I want to be as amazing as Mom when I grow up, and shine on the big stage."
Liu Yixin looked at her sister with admiration: "I want to too, let's work hard together."
Halfway through the banquet, the lucky draw began.
The host announced on stage, "Next, please welcome Mr. Li to draw the first prize for us."
Li Yuan gracefully walked onto the stage, drew a card from the raffle box, and read out: "Congratulations to Xiao Zhang from the Marketing Department for winning the first prize, a brand new laptop."
Xiao Zhang excitedly ran onto the stage, accepted the prize, and kept thanking General Manager Li.
Watching from below the stage, Mr. Liu said to Li Shiqing, "Daughter, this lucky draw is much more exciting than our fruit and vegetable store's promotional activities."
Li Shiqing said with a smile, "Dad, you can also hold some lucky draws in the store."
Mr. Liu scratched his head: "Hmm, daughter, that's a good idea."
As the dinner drew to a close, everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
As Li Yuan and her family prepared to leave, the employees gathered around to say goodbye: "Goodbye, President Li; goodbye, ladies; goodbye, Boss Liu."
Stepping out of the building, Mr. Liu stretched and yawned: "The air outside is so much fresher, but tonight's banquet was quite interesting too."
Li Yuan said with a smile, "This is also part of the company's team building activities, and there will be many more such activities in the future."
The two daughters chattered excitedly about the fun things that happened at the dinner party, and the family walked home in the night, leaving behind a trail of laughter.
