Before the New Year vacation was over, Su Xu had already returned to the company to start working. Not only her, but the Tang Family really had a lot of tasks to do this year. Almost all of the group's employees had already finished their vacation and returned two or three days earlier.

After officially starting work, everyone was busy working on a task. This year, the Tang Clan's annual meeting should have been held before the Spring Festival, but because the entire group was extremely busy during the year-end period, the group leaders had made the same decision as the Lin Clan and the Bai Clan. The three companies had planned to hold the annual meeting together on the 15th of the year.

He also took advantage of the annual meeting to announce that the three companies had signed a cooperation agreement to jointly bid for PRB International's future vacation city project.

At this point, the news of a common bid was made public by the three companies of Tang Lin and Bai.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, when the annual party was so grand and lively, coupled with the festival's display of fireworks in the nearby plaza, Su Xu stood on the lawn and looked at the fireworks in the sky. Actually, she really liked watching fireworks.

The assistant carried two plates of Egg Fried Rice, found Su Xu and said with a smile, "Boss, don't just drink wine, it's red wine, but you can also get drunk if you drink too much. Have some cake."

"Stop calling me Boss, it's not good if others hear about it." Su Xu corrected her.

In the Tang Dynasty, only the president could be called the boss. Even if the others had shares, even if they were in the upper echelons and were the head decision makers in the department, they could only be called the general manager and the shareholder. Moreover, Su Xu was only the deputy manager of the planning department, while the assistant and her superior leaders were all in the same situation. It was really inappropriate for her to call her boss.

The assistant stuck out her tongue. "I've been working with you since HCpaar. You're the one who gave me the salary. I'm used to you being my boss, but now you're working with me instead."

Su Xu shook her head and smiled slightly. Seeing that the assistant was in a hurry to eat the cake, she asked, "Earlier, you've been toasting the higher management and customers. Are you hungry?"

The assistant said shyly, "Actually, in order to look good in formal attire, I haven't had much to eat since noon."

"Then I'll leave this plate for you, I don't really want to eat it." Su Xu looked at the assistant's outfit and chatted with her, "In the past, you would never go to a party to dress up, but instead go to dinner. Do you like to look beautiful today? "But this time, she's really dressed up beautifully."

The assistant had just taken a sip of the cake. Hearing Su Xu's words, she immediately coughed lightly. "This is different from the past."

People were coming and going, and in the middle of the lawn, there was a large bonfire lit inside the cup shaped stone sculpture, and outside the bonfire, there was a circle of spring water, beautiful and safe but also special. Su Xu's gaze shifted from the smoke and fire in the sky to the little assistant's face, revealing her shy appearance.

Su Xu became interested and carefully observed her appearance. "How is it different? Isn't this all a banquet? It's not like it's the first or second time you've come to attend it. "

The assistant lowered his head and looked at his toes, muttering softly, "It's more formal this time. Three well-known companies in the industry are hosting an annual party, and the dinner party is so grand. How can it be compared with the small banquet in the past? If I don't dress properly in such a solemn and formal setting, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, boss?" "Oh, no. It should be the manager."

Su Xu felt that there was something wrong with her words. Looking at her appearance, how could she be like this because of the grand banquet?

"I say, why are you so shy now? Not before. " Su Xu asked.

The assistant hastily raised his head and kicked, "Manager, I don't have any. How did you say that? I seem to be very thick-skinned before."

She smiled and teased the assistant a little more, but it was very interesting to watch her jumping up and down and blushing. Originally, Su Xu had not been in a very good mood due to the New Year incident, but now she was in a much better mood to chat with someone as simple as the assistant.

As she was chatting with the assistant, Su Xu turned around and saw Bai Mo who was not far away. He was clinking cups with other people, and she didn't know if there was a connection between them. Bai Mo also suddenly looked over, and in an instant, they looked at each other.

Before this, Su Xu didn't notice at all that Bai Mo was in the outer court. Wasn't he in the banquet hall inside the house?

Bai Mo clinked glasses with her, and after a few words, he walked towards Su Xu.

"Su Xu, pay attention to the fireworks later."

She raised her head to look at the sky and saw that it was still filled with fireworks. She said, "Is there a new arrangement?"

Bai Mo nodded, "I specifically chose it."

When he finished speaking, he saw the assistant beside Su Xu, and greeted her, "Hello, long time no see."

The assistant replied stuttering, "Actually, we met a week ago." That attitude was rather reserved.

Bai Mo could not help but laugh, "I know, I haven't forgotten. However, after being separated for a week, using the words' long time no see 'as a greeting should not be too inappropriate. "

Su Xu lowered her head and took a sip of the wine. The assistant tensed up after hearing Bai Mo's words, and she started to stutter even more: "I-there's something wrong with it. It's been a long time, nothing's wrong, no …"

Bai Mo purposely said, "You're so flustered, are you afraid of me?" Hearing this, the assistant became flustered, as if she didn't want to stay there any longer. She glanced around and said embarrassedly, "I need to take a look over there. Mr. Bai, can you and my manager have a chat?" After saying that, she started to leave in a flustered manner.

Su Xu softly called out to her: "Don't be so flustered, take the cake and eat it."

Su Xu returned the dish back to the assistant. The assistant didn't stand on ceremony with Su Xu and hurriedly left with the small plate in her hands.

Bai Mo saw the assistant acting like this and raised his eyebrows: "Su Xu, do you think I'm that scary? Why does this assistant of yours be so flustered every time she sees me?"

Su Xu unconsciously swirled the cup in her hands, the look in her eyes turned from the slightly panicky back of the assistant to Bai Mo, "Master, you must be too serious every day."

Lord Grim said: "I'm the most amiable."

From the corner of her eyes, she seemed to see Tang Luoye's figure. For the time being, Su Xu didn't really want to see him, so she changed the topic and stood far away from the bonfire.

Raising his head to look at the fireworks, it seemed like he could clearly see the blooming fireworks in the new location.

"Time is almost up."

Bai Mo looked at his watch and said, "Su Xu, look carefully."

The next moment, Su Xu understood the reason why Bai Mo had let her take a closer look. That was because in that instant, the sky all over the world instantly brightened up, the stars all over the sky shone brightly, and all the surrounding people cried out in alarm. This was different from the usual circle filled with stars. Rather, it was irregular like a night star, filling up the four directions of the world that one could see. The stars could actually maintain their radiance for a long time after blooming once.

In the current city, the stars had long since lost their glow, only a few scattered stars revealed a dim light, especially in the misty winter, it was simply impossible to see the sky filled with stars in the bustling city.

But at this moment, she actually saw it.

The intermittent rays of starlight, which were clearly extinguished, continued to circulate several times in a cycle, causing people to be filled with joy. It was just like how they used to be when they were in the countryside; they seemed to be able to grab countless stars.

Su Xu laughed softly and turned to look at Bai Mo. He was also smiling as he looked into her eyes and saw the excitement hidden in her expression.

"Two years ago, you once said that although this city has all kinds of nights, with all sorts of neon colors and flourishing colors, making the night as lively as day, there's still something missing in the sky because there's no starlight."

Lord Grim looked up at the Sparks in the sky.

"I think that's why you like to see fireworks. The light of fireworks is like the stars, they can illuminate the dark sky."

The warmth of the sunlight on the side of his face was heartbreaking. Su Xu stretched out her hand to cover her chest, and the aching pain in her heart was extremely unbearable. "Master, thank you." She had known Bai Mo for so long that she initially thought that he treated her well and others well. However, when she realized that Bai Mo liked her, Su Xu only felt that she was unworthy of him and only wanted to run away. Afterwards, she had a dispute with Qin Zheng, and after experiencing a deep emotional trauma, an accident happened between her and Tang Luoye. Now, Su Xu felt that she had let down Bai Mo, she really had no way to repay him for what he had done.

There was no way to face him.

The word 'thank you' was too ordinary. She had said it to him countless times.

But other than that, she really didn't know what else to say.
