Watching in the dark night

Chapter 23 Birthday
  Back in the office, Yan Shuang brought the coffee to Yu Suan and just walked back to his seat. Then he saw Vice President Ju Yibu walking in.

She quickly stood up, ready to say hello. Ju Yibu pressed his hand, indicating that she didn't have to stand up, and pointed inside.

Yan Shuang quickly replied: "Director Yu is inside." Ju Yibu nodded and walked into Yu Su'an's office.

"Hi!"

He raised his head and saw the little girl he had just met at the elevator entrance.

"Hello!" Yan Shuang greeted her with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Sister Yan. I'm the new cashier. You can just call me Yi Qingqing." The little girl smiled sweetly and had a pleasant voice.

"Okay, welcome! If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me." Yan Shuang bent down and opened the drawer, took out a small cake and handed it to her.

Yi Qingqing's eyes lit up and she smiled like crescent moons, "Thank you, Sister Yan, I like to eat cakes the most!"

"You're welcome, just call me Yan Shuang from now on." She said kindly.

She is still a beautiful girl and doesn't want to be called sister so quickly.

"Yeah, okay. But I have something to ask you now," Yi Qing said in a soft voice.

"What's the matter? Just ask!" Yan Shuang has only been in the company for less than a year and can understand her thoughts.

She definitely wants to study more and get to know this company earlier.

"I heard about the girl before me"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ju Yibu who walked out of Yu Su'an's office.

"You just came to work, and you talk to others everywhere. Learn from your seniors and pay less attention to other things!" Ju Yibu pointed at Yi Qingqing and criticized unceremoniously.

Mr. Ju, please be gentle with your criticism! Yan Shuang watched Yi Qingqing's face worriedly.

She didn't want to yell at her new colleagues and run away as soon as they arrived. She really didn't want to do the work of two people every day.

"I know, uncle!" Yi Qingqing replied to Ju Yibu with a playful smile.

Well, it was her Yanshuang who thought too much!

"Say it again, call me Vice President Ju in the company." Ju Yibu said with a face, not wanting to fall for her.

"I know~" Yi trailed off slightly in reply.

After teaching Yi Qingqing, Ju Yibu turned around and smiled kindly at Yan Shuang.

"I just graduated and I'm not sensible. You should take care of her more, and you won't have to worry about her anymore!"

One sentence, but Yan Shuang was so shocked that he stood up and said repeatedly: "I don't worry about it, Mr. Ju is too polite."

Nodding towards Yan Shuang, Ju Yibu left with satisfaction. Seeing him walking out of the office, Yan Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief before sitting down again.

"Hehe." Chao Yanshuang stuck out his tongue sheepishly, and Yi walked back to his office with a light smile.

In this company, you still can't offend people casually.

After all, you never know which of your colleagues is a relative of the royal family. In short, there is nothing wrong with being humble!
  While thinking about it, Yan Shuang took out her mobile phone and ordered a bunch of snacks to send over.

Since you have agreed to attend someone else's party, you still have to bring something with you, otherwise it will be too rude.

After work, Yan Shuang, who was usually too lazy to touch up her makeup, went to the bathroom to touch up some foundation.

Walking to the door of the coffee shop, Yan Shuang looked through the glass door and saw that the hall had a completely new look.

Warm candles filled every corner of the hall.

She opened the door and saw the colorful balloons on the ceiling, each with a tail with a small note on it.

Yan Shuang pulled down a piece of paper in front of her and looked at it. It says 'peace and success'!
  The meaning is so good!
  Different flowers were placed on every small table in the hall. There were several flowers that Yan Shuang couldn't even name.

"Are you here? Come and have cake." Seeing her coming, the flower shop owner happily waved to her and told her to hurry over.

"With such a big cake, whose birthday is it today?" Yan Shuang thought about the snacks in her hand, feeling a little overwhelmed. She really thought it was just a small party. It seems that she was too naive!

"Well, it's a friend's birthday. Did you bring something delicious?" The flower shop owner saw the snack bag in Yan Shuang's hand and quickly took it.

"You're too polite. Just let people come." The owner of the coffee shop pretended to blame her.

"It's okay, I'm afraid you won't like it." Yan Shuang felt a little embarrassed. It was someone else's birthday, but she didn't even prepare a cake.

She looked around, including Nuo Da's coffee shop, Aunt Ning and her new arrival. There were only four people.

"I love eating, I love eating." When the flower shop owner replied to her, he had already opened the bag and started sharing the snacks she brought with the other two people.

Only then did Yan Shuang relax completely.

"Your birthday friend hasn't come yet?" She didn't prepare a gift, so she had to say happy birthday to the birthday girl, right?

"She's not coming. It's just the four of us today!" the flower shop owner explained as he pulled her to sit next to him.

"This" is not good, right?
  "It's okay, you don't know my name yet, right? Introduce yourself! My name is Mei An, just call me Xiao An from now on."

The flower shop owner is beautiful and has a unique name.

Yan Shuang nodded cautiously and began to introduce herself, "My name is Yan Shuang."

"We all know this! You are my old customer."

The coffee shop owner took the conversation casually and began to introduce himself, "My name is Hao Xin."

"And Aunt Ning, the three of us have known each other for many years."

Yan Shuang was a little surprised by this, after all, there was such an age difference between the two of them and Aunt Ning.

But then I thought about it, how can there be any age difference between real friends? So Yan Shuang nodded clearly.

"Ever since we came to this park to do business, we have gotten together like this every year. Aunt Ning and we are also old friends." Hao Xin explained to her.

Aunt Ning spoke little today. She sat there calmly and said to Yan Shuang affectionately: "Yes, we are all friends. You don't want to treat me as an elder. From now on, just like them, just call me Aunt Ning." "

"Okay, Aunt Ning." Yan Shuang replied obediently.

No wonder every time I see the flowers Aunt Ning sells, the varieties are similar to those in flower shops.

Yan Shuang sometimes goes into the shop to buy coffee. The handmade flowers hanging in the coffee shop are very similar in shape to those sold by Aunt Ning.

"You can come over and get together with us often in the future." Mei An said to Yan Shuang.

Under the dim light, her eyes were particularly bright.

After the few people chatted for a while, Yan Shuang no longer felt awkward at the beginning. She responded generously: "Don't worry, I can do it!"

"That's right." Hao Xin stood up and poured red wine into the glasses in front of the tables of the people present.

"Hey, why is there an extra glass?" He looked at a wine glass placed on the table of the empty seat next to Aunt Ning. When Hao Xin poured the wine, he didn't leave the cup behind, so Yan Shuang asked with some doubts.

They were silent for a moment, then Hao Xin suddenly smiled and said: "I accidentally poured an extra cup, don't worry about it. Come! Let's cheer! Welcome Xiaoshuang to our party for the first time!"

Yan Shuang quickly raised her wine glass, but her eyes quickly glanced at the empty seat next to Aunt Ning. There was not only a glass of wine on the table, but also a jade bracelet next to the wine glass.

The bracelet as a whole showed a crystal clear pink color, and each bead was small and plump.

There are a few small beads that can be seen with the naked eye, and there are actually strands of blood-red threads inside.

After taking a sip of wine, Yan Shuang couldn't help but glance at the string of jade stones on the table, as if there was some magic there.

Apparently, the person celebrating the birthday suddenly couldn't come, and he forgot to remove the wine glass, so he just filled it up.

But whose jade bracelet belongs to it? Is it also the birthday of the person?
  Does that friend know they are doing this? If he knew, he would probably kill him, right?
  After all, it’s really unlucky to do this!
