Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 203

The year passed in such a hurry. The last working day of the company was for employees to collect and tidy up their things and hand in the annual report summary.

The company held its annual meeting at the most luxurious hotel in the city in the evening, and all the employees were there. Employees were divided into three groups, grass-roots, management, and executives together with directors. The entire three floors of the hotel were booked, and the venue fee alone was enough for Shu Tian's salary for a few years.

She wanted to dress casually, but the company veteran in her group told her to dress up. She was told that a formal dress would be okay.

Shu Tian was surprised. "Why do I have to wear a dress?"

"Our annual meeting is quite posh. There is a ball every year, but it is optional. People are all dressed up. Do you think it's appropriate for you to wear casual clothes?"

Shu Tian thought about it. It was indeed inappropriate.

So the night before, she rummaged through the closet and chose a beige dress with lace sleeves and a hollow-out design at the chest. It was neither too sexy nor too conservative. It was not eye-catching but very formal.

She took the dress to the hotel with satisfaction. Each group has two rooms, one for male colleagues and the other for female colleagues, just for the convenience of waiting and changing clothes.

Shu Tian took the dress into the bathroom. It was warm in the hotel, so she didn't feel cold after wearing it. She matched it with a short light gray fur that just fit.

As soon as she opened the door and walked out, her colleagues, who were chit-chatting, all fell quiet and looked at her for at least half a minute.

Liuu was the most enthusiastic. She walked over and carefully fingered the fur. "Wow, that's so beautiful. It makes you look curved and fairer."

Shu Tian didn't like being noticed. Being stared at, she was a little embarrassed. "Is this... Okay?"

"No, it's amazing!" Zhang Rui'er also teased, "I have to say, you look like a star in this outfit."

"Thanks." Shu Tian blushed slightly and quickly walked away from the crowd.

She looked at the figure in the glass, and it did seem good. She just hoped that the annual meeting would end successfully and that she would not embarrass herself.

Employees headed to their respective floors at 7: 30 pm. Shu Tian and Zhang Rui'er were newcomers, so they were the grass-roots level of the company. Colleagues were quite ebullient. Without the usual tension and depression, everyone exchanged pleasantries with each other.

Shu Tian became the focus as soon as she appeared. Many colleagues who had met her stared into her, unable to hide the amazement in their eyes.

Shu Tian did not have a radiant look, but she was better than most. Everyone was used to her plain dress at work and didn't think she was particularly good-looking. Now she changed her clothes and put on makeup, it was as if she took on a new aspect, so beautiful that others' eyes were fixed on her.

Shu Tian smiled awkwardly and hurriedly signed into the banquet hall.

She was a little confused. She sat up straight among the eyes of others and caught the words of the leader on the stage. "Everyone knows that there was an accident in the company this year, which fortunately did not lead to particularly serious consequences. I'd like to take this opportunity to praise Shu Tian who has made great contributions to it. I hope everyone can learn from her active dedication. Please take corporate affairs as your own business. You have to put yourself in the company's shoes so that you can have a better future..."

The leader babbled on the stage and finally called Shu Tian's name again. "Next, to encourage Shu Tian's behavior, I will give her a trophy and a bonus. Please welcome Shu Tian."

The applause thundered forth. Shu Tian was embarrassed and completely unprepared. Under the gaze of everyone, she forced herself to step forward. The branch leader was about to give her the award, but unexpectedly Li Han took a step forward and handed it directly to her.

Everyone in the company knew their relationship. Although he did nothing wrong, there was ambiguity in everyone's eyes.

Shu Tian was blushing furiously, and her hands trembled as she took it from Li Han's hand. He looked at her red face with a smile in his eyes. His fingertips secretly brushed past her palm on purpose. Being flirted, Shu Tian's little face turned even redder. She withdrew her hand in haste, smiled awkwardly, and pretended to be serious, "Thank you for your encouragement. I will work harder to live up to your expectations."

When she came down from the stage, her legs were weak. She wished she could go up and pull that dignified man down.

Flirting with her, huh?

Just go home and wait!

Seeing her sit down angrily, Zhang Rui'er teased, "Is it wonderful that he is your boss during the day and your husband at night?"
