Chapter 449 - 450: Hosts Meet Up
After the long holiday, everyone was back to work, immersed in their busy schedules. Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru had been ready to hit the ground running, just waiting for the holiday to end to make their mark at the company.
Song Xiaodong had also arrived at the office. Although he didn’t have any urgent matters to handle at the moment, it was only right for him to come in and lend a hand when he had nothing pressing on his schedule.
Su Yao had already prepared tea for him, and when she saw him enter, her eyes lit up immediately and she said, "Manager Song, good morning."
"Good morning!" Song Xiaodong answered with a smile and sat down behind the boss’s desk. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "The long holiday was good, wasn’t it?"
Su Yao smiled and said, "It was okay, I went out for a trip for three days, and spent the remaining four days at home. I thought about gathering some classmates, but considering how busy Manager Song must be, certainly staying home with Chairman Miao, I didn’t reach out to you."
"Oh, our group of classmates..." Song Xiaodong shook his head. Nowadays, everyone seemed a bit wary of him, which kind of took the fun out of class reunions.
Su Yao said, "I know you find their flattery dull, and honestly, I do too. But that’s human nature, isn’t it? People aim high and water flows low; everyone wants to connect with those stronger than themselves to gain help. We classmates are just starting out in society; they too hope for others’ help, thus they can’t be as comfortable around you."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "You’re right, I can’t expect others to be like me. Well, if there’s a get-together in the future, just call me along. It’s always nice to have a drink together."
"Alright." Su Yao gave a toothy smile, which was quite charming.
At that moment, Song Xiaodong’s phone rang. Seeing the number was completely unknown, he still answered, "Hello, who is this?"
A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Song, I’m Cheng Xiaoyue. I wonder if you remember me."
"Cheng Xiaoyue... Oh, you’re the host," Song Xiaodong finally recalled.
