Chapter 380 People feel refreshed during happy events
Yu Huan woke up from her sleep with a groggy head. Her consciousness was still somewhat hazy at first. She felt an unusual tightness in her chest and her breathing was slightly difficult.
As soon as he moved slightly, he felt as if a heavy object was binding him.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes still sleepy, and glanced down, only to realize with a start that Lin Yourong's entire body was lying on top of him.
His messy black hair fell like strands across his neck, causing waves of itchiness.
Her head was resting on his shoulder, and she was fast asleep.
Yu Huan adjusted his posture slightly and gently stroked her buttocks.
Although I felt particularly uncomfortable with chest tightness and shortness of breath, the warm and soft body in my arms filled me with a sweet feeling.
The bedroom was dimly lit, with the faint morning light barely outlining the shapes of the furniture and other objects.
Yu Huan quietly woke up for a while until she felt her mind was clearer, and then she moved her body slightly.
Feeling Lin Yourong's weight, he carefully raised his arm, slowly turned his body, and gently carried Lin Yourong to the side.
Even though Yu Huan's every movement was extremely slow and cautious, Lin Yourong still woke up.
She gently raised her hand and scratched her cheek, muttering something indistinctly, but her eyes remained slightly closed.
Yu Huan's lips twitched slightly, and she was about to greet her when she saw the woman slowly turn over, lying on her back, her breathing still steady and even, and she soon fell into a deep sleep again.
In the dim light, her face appeared exceptionally beautiful, and her slightly loose black hair spread out like black silk on the snow-white pillow, giving her a languid beauty.
Yu Huan gazed quietly at his wife's beautiful sleeping face for a while, then turned to his side, picked up his phone from beside his pillow, and turned on the screen to check the time.
It was only 7:20.
Yu Huan tiptoed to her seat, preparing to get dressed and get out of bed.
Today is Friday, the first day of February, and there's a lot to do.
The thought of going to work early in the morning to organize everyone to receive their Spring Festival gifts filled Yu Huan with a special feeling, as if she could already smell the strong festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Yu Huan put on his slippers and glanced back at his wife, who was sleeping soundly.
Her upper body was outside the blankets, and even lying flat, her well-proportioned chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing, which was truly pleasing to the eye.
Sleeping alone is naturally not as good as two people embracing each other. Even though the air conditioner was on in the bedroom, Yu Huan still considerately tucked her in before quietly getting out of bed.
After Yu Huan finished dressing, the moment he opened the bedroom door, a blast of cold air rushed in, instantly enveloping him along his collar and cuffs.
The biting cold felt like countless fine needles pricking his skin, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
This, in turn, made his mind clearer.
Yu Huan frowned slightly, subconsciously wrapped her hunting jacket tighter around herself, then gently closed the door behind her and strode toward the bathroom.
After washing up and going downstairs, Yu Huan noticed that the ground was wet, indicating that it had rained late at night.
No wonder I felt unusually cold when I woke up this morning.
The moment he stepped out of the stairwell, he felt a chill seep through his shoes and spread from his feet throughout his body, causing him to stomp his feet in the cold wind.
Yu Huan walked to the garage door, squatted down, and skillfully unlocked it.
The metal key felt like an ice cube in his hand. After some thought, he made a decisive decision to take advantage of the little BMW today.
I drove my BMW out of the residential area and onto the streets of Xingcheng on a crisp winter morning.
At this time, Xingcheng was not yet fully awake. There were few vehicles and pedestrians, and most of the shops along the road had their doors tightly closed. Only a few breakfast shops had their lights on, making the place seem exceptionally quiet.
Yu Huan held the steering wheel steadily with one hand, while her stomach rumbled several times.
Since I had plenty of time, I stopped on my way to work and slurped down a bowl of spicy beef noodles.
Only after their taste buds and stomachs were thoroughly satisfied did they leisurely continue their journey.
Although Yu Huan is an employee of the newspaper, he chose to park his BMW in a roadside parking space because he had not registered the vehicle.
As Yu Huan lightly stepped up the stairs from the building plaza, she looked up and saw Wang Xianjiao and Zheng Yu walking slowly from the platform on the other side of the building.
The two sides met in front of the gate.
Wearing a red woolen hat, Wang Xianjiao waved to him with a bright smile and said first, "Good morning, Brother Yu!"
"Good morning! Brother Yu!" Zheng Yu hurriedly greeted him as well.
Yu Huan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, slowed her pace, and walked into the lobby side by side with Wang Xianjiao.
He casually asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"We've all eaten." Zheng Yu's voice echoed in the quiet lobby as she said with a smile, "It's quite a coincidence that I came here on the same bus as Wang Xianjiao today."
"That's quite a coincidence," Yu Huan replied softly.
Wang Xianjiao nodded with a smile: "That's right, I usually ride an electric bike now—Brother Yu, speaking of which, it's so cold today, you probably didn't ride an electric bike to work, did you?"
The three of them chatted as they walked into the elevator.
Yu Huan quickened his pace slightly, stepped forward and pressed the button. When asked the question, he replied somewhat vaguely, "Of course, riding an electric bike in such cold weather would be torture."
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth under his mask turned up slightly.
Just then, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Yu Huan stepped into the elevator first.
Wang Xianjiao followed closely behind, watching Yu Huan's profile as he pressed the floor button. Her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't help but say, "Brother Yu, did you know? Su Su has been recording a new song in Xingcheng recently!"
"Really?" Yu Huan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wang Xianjiao nodded vigorously and said happily, "Yes, someone spotted her at a recording studio in Xingcheng yesterday! I wonder what kind of new song she was recording!"
A smile flashed in Yu Huan's eyes as she secretly thought that this "leaked photo" was probably released by Sister Ru, a little trick to maintain fan loyalty and activity.
On a whim, he casually remarked, "It's certainly something to look forward to. I hope Lin Su's new song will be released soon so we can enjoy it."
"Lin Su's songs are really good. I especially like her song 'Time Thief,' I listen to it every day, it's very infectious!" Zheng Yu said with a smile.
After all, Yu Huan and Wang Xianjiao often talked about Lin Su together at work, without much restraint. Zheng Yu already knew they liked listening to Lin Su's songs, and it was even possible that the two of them were Lin Su's fans.
As soon as Zheng Yu finished speaking, the ascending elevator suddenly stopped, and the three of them swayed slightly. Then, the elevator doors rang out with a crisp "ding" and slowly opened.
Wang Xianjiao was the first to react. She stepped out of the elevator with light steps, and at the same time gave Wang Xianjiao a thumbs up and said cheerfully, "Zheng Yu, you have good taste!"
The three of them stepped out of the elevator one by one, their footsteps illuminating the motion-activated lights.
The soft lighting contrasted sharply with the slightly dim atmosphere inside the elevator.
Yu Huan walked at the very back and could hear a commotion coming from the work area in the distance, indicating that quite a few people had already arrived at the workplace.
As they got closer to the workspace, the noise became clearer.
The slight sound of tables and chairs being moved reached Yu Huan's ears. As she walked steadily forward, she took out her phone from her pocket and checked it.
It was only 8:09, while the time he had arranged with the HR department was 8:30.
Yu Huan lowered her head slightly, raised her hand to her ear, slowly took off her mask, and leisurely walked into the workroom.
At this point, he parted ways with Wang Xianjiao and Zheng Yu, and walked straight inside towards his office.
As is his habit, he first goes to get his thermos and pours in some hot water.
Yu Huan turned her head and looked around, and what came into view was a lively and energetic scene.
The young people in the new media department gathered in small groups, their cheerful laughter and conversation echoing in the air.
Wang Zhi was standing behind Xiang Xinyi's workstation, gesturing wildly as he spoke, his appearance somewhat comical, which drew laughter from those around him.
Xiang Xinyi leaned back in her chair, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Wang Xianjiao and Zheng Yu before landing on Yu Huan.
A bright smile immediately lit up her face, and she greeted him in a clear and melodious voice, "Brother Yu! Good morning!"
The clear and melodious shout immediately triggered a chain reaction, with everyone stopping their conversation and turning to look at Yu Huan.
Amidst the cheers, Yu Huan smiled and nodded, responding loudly, "Good morning, everyone! It's true what they say, good news always brings joy; everyone looks so happy."
Wang Zhi looked at Yu Huan, who was approaching, with great excitement, and said, "Brother Yu, you don't know, everyone is so excited about receiving Spring Festival gifts! Especially after Sister Yao Yao mentioned that there are also red envelopes!"
Yu Huan slowed her pace, strolling unhurriedly, a warm smile on her face.
There were no other people present at the time, so he said bluntly, "The gifts distributed by each department are roughly the same, but our new media department has performed exceptionally well, so we also received an extra cash bonus."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fei said with a grin, "Under Brother Yu's leadership, our new media department has made great strides and achieved remarkable results! It's all thanks to Brother Yu's excellent leadership that the bosses are praising us so highly!"
Yu Huan smiled gently and said as she walked, "Everyone should work together to strive for a better tomorrow. Naturally, the benefits of our new media department will become more and more generous."
A little further away, Chen Yaoyao, sitting behind her desk, smiled broadly and chimed in, "Brother Yu is right! Let's keep working hard and strive for even better results and benefits!"
As Yu Huan strolled to the office door, he heard laughter and applause from inside the workroom, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.
I gently pushed open the door and my eyes fell on the green plants on the desk and windowsill.
Yu Huan thought for a moment, then bent down and picked up the watering can that was placed against the wall by the entrance, intending to get some tap water along the way to water these green plants.
He was quick and efficient, completing the trivial tasks in less than ten minutes, ensuring that each plant received careful watering.
After putting the spray bottle back in its place, Yu Huan picked up the mug and took a sip of the slightly cooled lukewarm water.
Then, he picked up the internal phone and dialed Chen Yaoyao's number, asking her to count the number of people present.
Yu Huan slumped in her office chair, quietly thinking about today's work arrangements and sorting out her thoughts.
Not a moment.
Chen Yaoyao called to inform everyone that they had all arrived, and Yu Huan immediately got up and left the office.
They stopped at Chen Yaoyao's desk at the very front of the workspace.
He clapped his hands vigorously to attract everyone's attention, and under everyone's gaze, he smiled brightly and said, "Is everyone ready? Let's go get our Spring Festival gifts now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered and stood up.
Yu Huan led everyone up the stairs, heading straight for the personnel department. The continuous, noisy footsteps echoed from top to bottom all the way to the third floor.
When Yu Huan returned to the new media department after receiving the Spring Festival gifts, she decided to take the stairs, considering that it was peak time for elevator use.
With the leader taking the lead like this, naturally many people followed him down the stairwell.
Yu Huan had a Hero brand fountain pen and a thick red envelope in his pocket, and was carrying a Hsu Fu Chi gift box in his hand.
Since each department receives its Spring Festival gifts in batches, the newly popular media department is of paramount importance.
Along the way, they encountered people from other departments who all cast curious glances at the bright red gift box in Yu Huan's hands.
As a rising star in the new media department, Yu Huan kept his eyes straight ahead and walked briskly to avoid being approached by too many people and becoming too busy to deal with them.
When he reached the seventh floor, the stairwell suddenly became spacious, and he slowed down.
Chen Xi followed closely beside the leader, clutching the red envelope in his right hand, glancing around at the surroundings.
Upon seeing that everyone here was from his own department, he immediately tucked the gift box under his arm and, while taking brisk steps upwards, eagerly opened the red envelope to take a look.
"Brother Yu, there are six red bills in this red envelope!" Chen Xi exclaimed, slightly out of breath, his voice full of surprise.
You should know that the year-end bonus and this cash gift are calculated separately; he initially thought it would be at most two hundred...
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan secretly pondered that his red envelope had been personally delivered by the director of the personnel department, and judging by its thickness, it definitely contained more than six bills.
Yu Huan's thoughts shifted, and she smiled slightly as she said slowly, "This is what everyone deserves. Our new media department has performed exceptionally well this year, so the organization will naturally not treat everyone unfairly."
Chen Xi nodded excitedly and carefully stuffed the red envelope into his pocket.
"This is my second year at Jiangnan Morning Post, and the gifts this year are really great. I just transferred to the new media department, and I'm already getting such a big bonus! I have to say, working with Brother Yu really has a bright future!"
Yu Huan turned around and glanced at Chen Chen upon hearing the sound.
As he said this, a joyful smile spread across his face.
Yu Huan thought to himself, "This guy is actually doing his job honestly. He didn't leave Fantasy Westward Journey running in the background. Maybe it's because he optimized the personnel structure, so there aren't many opportunities for him to slack off."
