Chapter 389 - 389: Company Dinner

Shu Pan finally felt relieved.

Their lives returned to normal.

Gu Shaoting sent Joy to school in the morning before he sent Shu Pan to work.

This was their family time, so Gu Shaoting never let the driver fetch them.

Shu Pan had also realized something over the past two days. She was no longer afraid of people finding out about her relationship with Gu Shaoting.

But because this was a private matter, they wanted to keep a low profile. They wouldn’t announce it to the world and would just let nature take its course.

So, when Gu Shaoting dropped Shu Pan off at the lobby of her office building, she no longer objected it.

It was one thing to be seen, but life could also be very tiring if one cared too much about what others think of them.

They were dating normally now. There was no need to make it look like a secret affair.

In the beginning, she was afraid that people at work would gossip about them if they found out. But now, even if people at work didn’t know, there would still be rumors.

Therefore, Shu Pan accepted it. There was no need to live for others. As soon as Shu Pan stepped into the office, she could feel her colleagues’ excitement.

Just as Shu Pan was puzzled, Tang Wei walked up to her and said, “Shu Pan, you’re really lucky. Today’s your first day back at work after a week of leave and there’s a company dinner tonight.”

So, this was the reason. Everyone was looking forward to a delicious meal at the company dinner tonight. No wonder everyone was so excited.

“Is there anything worth celebrating lately? Why is there suddenly a company dinner?” Shu Pan asked Tang Wei after she racked her brain for a reason. “It’s what the CEO promised when he made his rounds here. Consider it an encouragement and reward for the employees.” Tang Wei sounded like senior management.

Ah, that was the reason.

“You know what? I heard that dinner will be held at the Bin City Grand Hotel. That’s really high-end, right? I heard that we’ve booked a multi-function ballroom. It must have cost a bomb.” Tang Wei sighed. She had never received such treatment before.

As expected, with money, one had options.

Gu Group had never been ungenerous to its employees, so this was within reason.

However, such a small matter was probably not noteworthy to Gu Shaoting.

Otherwise, he would have mentioned it to her.

“Then you must eat to your heart’s content tonight.” Shu Pan joked.

“Do you have to poke where it hurts? To hell with dieting.” Tang Wei’s philosophy about losing weight was to pig out before dieting because how else would she get the energy to lose weight?

Because of the company dinner, everyone was more enthusiastic about work today.

When it was finally knock-off time, everyone rushed to clock out and set off for the Bin City Grand Hotel.

The staff dinner was held on the second floor of the Bin City Grand Hotel, a multi-function ballroom that could accommodate dozens of people.

The room was set up with 5 banquet tables. Dinner would be attended by only employees of Sun Rise. No one from the parent company would be joining them.

The large screen on the wall was playing the current top of the pops. The lively music made people even more excited.

All the employees were smiling.

And why not? Rising Sun was now a subsidiary of Gu Group. With a powerful “godfather” like Gu Group, would Rising Sun even do badly?

Therefore, all the employees were working very hard. After all, they were now effectively working for Gu Group, which was known to be generous to its employees in both salaries and benefits.

Dinner was scheduled for 7 p.m. but people arrived as soon as they got off work at 5:30 p.m. Almost everyone was there now, chatting and drinking happily.

Just having a good time.

By the time Shu Pan arrived, everyone was already seated.

She was late, mainly because of a phone call from Gu Shaoting..
