A fresh start to a new week. mhryu have been away for a week already. Is everyone enjoying reading about her adventure? She seems to be covering many exciting places. And many yummy food too…. I really wished I could be there with her too now. Never the less, I am glad to see that she could finally spend the quality time with her family especially her growing up too quickly boys. 

Poor Xiao Bei. She thought that she got a bonus just like all her other colleagues in Legal Department. It is just a note reducing her dues to the company. Can imagine her expression after reading the note. How would you feel if you were in her shoes? I would be fuming mad to start with!

No sight of Yifan from the last post. I wonder if he would return in today’s post? 

Enjoy the read today everyone and have a fantastic start of the week!

November 11 is the anniversary of our company. Every year, on this day the company will only operate for half a day. The employees will be celebrating in a relaxed atmosphere. And the other half will be their off day. We joked about it. Originally, all our shareholders must be bachelors. On November 11, due to boredom they decided to set up a company. Later some got married and forgot those single brother who suffer the pain. Singles don’t work and those with family will go out to have fun. Singles will be looking in depression from the corner alone.

This year, we have more transactions, therefore unable to have full rest like previous year. Someone picked up some gossip, saying company will let those singles off. Let them go and find true love. In order to comfort those who are singles, the married will then need to work overtime.

I suddenly thought, if so, then Yifan must be active on the road for his blind date. Thinking about this made me laugh out loud.

But in fact, the company had such arrangement for certain departments only. For those who are not busy on 11 November, they can take the day off. For those who had to work, they will enjoy two-day weekend trip to the suburb, organised by the company.

Legal Department is always onerous by nature that is why they has been assigned to the suburb trip.

Suburb trip means needing to travel east outskirts of F City. 50 miles outside one of the lake resort. I am very fond of the lake. Once I hear that we are going there, I was so happy.

I exploited some money from Su and forced her to accompany me to the supermarket to buy some titbits. Su was angry and depressed. She than whispered: ‘Is just a broken lake! Why you act so excited, like a school girl going for an outing?’

I said: ‘This you don’t understand. When you are upset, sitting at the lake, watching the motion of the water, it make you feel that your emotion are like waves. All the trouble gently swing away and vanish.’

Su despise me: ‘A polluted lake where got good wave. Be careful when you eat too much. Don’t spit out your food when you see debris floating around ah.’

I said: ‘Ya! Ya! You are not going to understand. You don’t have the zest of life of a lady.’

Su laughed and said: ‘This trip is specially dedicated to you. Except for you, I don’t think anyone would like to go there during winter to experience cold wind.’

Saturday morning, I wore a very cartoon coat, a top hat, a small backpack and off I go.

When I reach the company’s entrance, I realized that there are still half an hour before we depart. The bus had only a few people and they were all seating far from each other. Really ah, Su was right. No one is interested in this outing.

I lowered my head and went up to the bus. I got ready to look for Lou Lou and Peter. Suddenly, I heard a laughter from my side: ‘If you add a red scarf, you can go up to grade 2.’

I looked up and saw Yifan sitting in the first row looking at me.

‘Hey, you didn’t go for a blind date ah?’ I blurted out.

Yifan instantly become interjection: ‘Who say I go for a blind date?’
