Seventy-Nine Bar Memories

  "Does he have a birthday party every year?"

  "Of course, when it's your birthday, we'll also arrange a celebration for you because you're all leaders and figures in the hotel industry. It's completely normal for us to help celebrate your birthdays."

  "That's not necessary." said Ou Lin with a smile.

  "By the way, when is Ou Lian's birthday?" Wang Shanshan thought to herself that she still didn't know Ou Lian's birthday.

  。

  "My birthday... has long passed, if you want to celebrate for me, just wait until next year."

  "Time flies quickly, it's okay, my birthday has also passed, last time I went back to my hometown."

  "Ah, yes, I remember now... so... when is the chairman's birthday?"

  "Chairman? Me? I don't know either, he's not often in the country."

  "It's also possible that neither of us knew the chairman's birthday and missed it, how embarrassing would that be."

  "Yes, I didn't think that much, but you're really thoughtful, Ou Lian. It seems like I should ask Li Enyi when I get back, he should know everything."

  "Uh-huh, go back and ask him again, then tell me."

  "Don't worry, we must be good employees and not let the chairman down. When his birthday comes, we'll give him a big surprise! Ah, he's definitely going to be very touched..."

  "What's wrong with you? You're not a little girl anymore, what are you getting emotional about?"

  "How can it be otherwise? Our chairman has really had a hard time, always alone, without even one person by his side who understands him, it's really a pity for such a good man."

  "What? He's so rich and still worried that no woman would be willing to stay by his side serving tea and pouring water?"

  "You don't know, Ou Lan. I heard the old waiters in the hotel say that the chairman is a man who has never been like that, and he's a very decent man."

  "What about his wife? If he's such a good man, why did they get divorced?" This was what Oulian wanted to know the most.

  "Some people say that it wasn't a divorce, but rather his wife passed away when he was very young. Apparently, she died after giving birth to their son. Some people say she got sick, while others claim she bled to death during childbirth. Not many people know the exact details because at that time, the chairman was still in high school."

  "High school? No way, that's crazy, I would have had a wife by then, haha, what big news!"

  "It's unbearable! How old were we in high school anyway?"

  "I'm not very clear about these things either, after all, no one knew what was going on at that time."

  "Ah, yes, indeed, the chairman can hide very deeply." Ou Lin sighed.

  "But everyone says the chairman is a good person, and he really is very good. Oulian's assessment also went smoothly."

  "That's all based on real ability."

  "I know, it's because the chairman has certified you that those who didn't use to listen to you will be conquered now, because they all believe in the chairman." Wang Shanshan smiled, having such a chairman is really great.

  "We should thank our chairman indeed. Alright, Xianxian, it's time for us to head home too, the night is already late." Oulian checked the time again.

  "What's wrong with her? Not like she has a husband and kids waiting for her at home, Ou Zhen is really obedient."

  "Alright, it's better for a girl like you to be more careful, go home now and be careful on the road."

  I'm getting more and more curious about what happened to him, but if I have the chance, should I ask him in person? Wouldn't that be too rude? Anyway, since I'm curious, I'll just let my imagination run wild for now. As for him, he can wait until we meet again.

  Now, Ou Lian is also starting to agree with her initial decision to come to Weihai. If she hadn't come here, how would she have known that there's such a beautiful and charming place in this world? And she wouldn't have met the man who made her heart skip a beat again. It seems like all of this was destined to happen.

  So this time, she must grasp it tightly and not let go, or else she'll end up heartbroken and desperate once more.

  Everyone who sees Li Enyi today will politely say happy birthday to him, it seems that everyone really remembers his birthday, being a leader is good.

  "I heard someone say that today is your birthday, happy birthday to you Comrade Li Enyi, haha." Ou Lian couldn't be an exception either, but also had to pretend that she just knew about it today.

  "Has Ou Zhen also heard?" Li En was surprised after receiving Ou Zhen's birthday wishes.

  "Ah, I heard them discussing it early this morning, haha, isn't the feeling of being remembered great?" Ou Lin smiled.

  "Uh, but Ou Zhen also congratulated me and I felt even better." Li En looked at Ou Zhen with a happy expression, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, why couldn't she have bought him a birthday gift last night? She regretted it so much.

  ！

  "It's just... I didn't prepare a birthday gift for anyone..." Oulian felt that she was really terrible this time.

  "It doesn't matter, it's not like you'll know anyway. I should be satisfied with just having your blessing, really, Oulian." Seeing Oulian so guilty, Li En couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

  "Hehe, next time it's your birthday I'll definitely give you a gift." Oulian smiled, feeling relieved.

  "Alright, you said that, don't forget, next year I want to celebrate my birthday with you, just the two of us, so you have to give me a gift!" Li En smiled contentedly.

  Ou Zhen knew that her last sentence had set Li En's imagination running wild again, she really wasn't doing it on purpose, and didn't know that this man actually liked her so much, it was a bit frightening.

  "So will there be many people celebrating your birthday today?"

  "Yes, it's like this every year. Saying that I'm having a birthday is just like some people gathering in the hotel, and it doesn't sound bad either. By the way, Ou Zhen must come too, now you're also a manager, you have to give me this face." Li En looked at Ou Zhen, with Ou Zhen's birthday party, it definitely won't be lonely.

  "Me? Uh...... this is......" Although I don't want to participate, how can I escape myself?

  "What's wrong? Does Ou Lin have something to do tonight? Even if he has something, he must cancel it. I really want Ou Lin to come celebrate my birthday." Li Enyi was a bit excited, afraid that Ou Lin wouldn't come.

  "Ah, I see, well then, I'll go." Ou Lian knew he would definitely be going.

  "Okay, so I'll come pick you up after work tonight."

  "Okay."

  Ou Zhen was distracted at work, although Li Enyi had never hinted that he liked her, but it was already a fact. Sooner or later, she would have to face how to reject Li Enyi in the best way possible. What about Zai Xu then? If others found out that she actually had feelings for a man so much older than herself, what would they think of her? They would definitely say it's just because of money, and even if she heard something like this, her first reaction would be the same, wouldn't it? Would the love she hoped for not be recognized by others? Why did she have to consider so many things that made her feel so conflicted? It was really better to just focus on doing a good job and not think about anything else, especially men...

  Li Enyi's birthday party was held at a nearby bar, and Oulian was afraid to come to such a place. She was afraid of coming to such a familiar place, fearing that she would recall something and lose control of her emotions. This kind of place always brought back too many memories for her, especially the bloody scene, which seemed to appear in every nightmare...

  "Ou Zhen, are you okay? Your face looks a bit off."

  Wang Shanshan pulled La Lao's hand, which was indeed very strange.

  "It's nothing... just a bit noisy." Oulian didn't force a smile, his face was completely serious.

  "Ah, I think Ou Lian has never been to a place like this before? It's okay, actually there's nothing much, we can go play in the private room and it'll be quiet too." Wang Shanshan smiled, looking like an old hand.

  "Hehe, right?" Oulian finally squeezed out a smile, otherwise it would have been really disappointing.

  "Ou Zhen, if you don't like it here, we can change places. What kind of place do you like?" Li Enyi also noticed Ou Zhen's unease, which made him feel uneasy too.

  "I'm fine, really, maybe it's just because I've never been here before and can't accept it..." Oulian smiled.

  "Alright then, let's go, it'll be fine once we're in the private room."

  It's really a lot of people coming to celebrate Li Enyi's birthday, he must be very happy. Ou Lian, you absolutely can't spoil the mood, today is someone's birthday after all.

  Let's just pretend it's the first time, okay? Hehe, how can your heart still be racing when you say that? You should be ashamed of yourself, how are you so good at lying now? If this really was the first time in a place like this, how great would that be? If none of those things had happened before, how great would that be? Oulian is still the innocent Oulian, carefree Oulian. Who's left for you to worry about now?

  Is Ou Jingxuan okay? Only Ou Jingxuan is left, maybe if there's a chance, I'll go back and see him again, but only after I can accept that pure relationship. Otherwise, who knows what other regrettable things will happen. At least it's impossible now, I have a man I like, so what about Ou Jingxuan? He must have had a girlfriend in college too, right? And he's popular among girls, haha, Ou Jingxuan, why think so much now?

  Everyone seems to be casually taking their seats, and it wasn't until Ou Zhen sat down that they realized they were sitting next to Ren Xun. This surprised them greatly - what a coincidence! How can they relax now?
