Chapter 62 Part 1 - Company Trip
“ You guess, this time where we will go for our company trip?”
" I don’t know, but I hope we won’t be going hiking like last year, and live in the mountains for two days to feed the mosquitoes . "
“ I also don’t want ah! But who told us to be unlucky and got the worse out of the bargain . These past few years, everytime we picked from the lucky draw for the trip, either we won the hiking trip to the mountain or going to the countryside growing vegetables . ”
“ If I could, I really want us to go to the beach oh . ”
During the working hours, several ladies at the front desk secretly gathered to express their wish for the company trip .
" Hey, you said! If we go to the beach, can we indulge in the scenery of our president’s magnificent body without his clothes ah . "
" Are you sure, you only wants to see the scenery* ah?" The female colleague who was talking before replied, " obviously watching the amazing colours of the scenery** ah . " The color word was deliberately emphasize when she spoke .
TLN: the author used the word play of scenery . The first scenery she asked was no underlying meaning, but the second scenery was added with the word color - meaning they were probably imagining obscene pictures of Ke Yan without his clothes!
" But I am so envious of Manager Jiang . " Another woman said, " He had the same room as the president last year . "
" Yeah, I don’t know who will have the same room as the president this year . " They collectively agreed and nodded while thinking - Manager Jiang got the same room as the president, really blessed ah!
Nowadays, a lot of the companies generally have their own annual trip, and naturally so does Ke Group . But there is a different in Ke Group company trip .
Their travelling destination is determined by lottery . Every time before the trip, the Ministry of Personnel writes the chosen place in a small note, then puts it into a large box . Then one person recommended by each department will come up to draw . After everyone finished drawing all the options, they will see the results they have drawn . If two or more people picked up the same place, then they will go there . If there is no such coincidental when all the papers have been chosen, then they will depends on collective voice of everyone .
The idea of using this draw is good . But, if you could go to the beach or other exciting places, then everyone would be extremely happy . Sadly, after so many years of drawing, all they ever got was a trip to a remote location or a tiring destination .
It’s tiring because you have to climb a mountain, or maybe learn to grow your own vegetables . There was still a year when they picked camping on the mountain and they had to solve the problem of eating by their own .
That’s why, this kind of trip based on a lucky draw makes everyone loves and hate .
So this time, even before the lucky draw day, everyone is busy discussing who they are going to send as the representative . As a result of their discussion, everyone wants to be the one but at the same time they also dare not to go .
They wants to be the one to draw because they hope, they can pick a good place to go . But they are also afraid if they were unlucky, they would be scorned by everyone .
Now, most of the employees in the company are discussing about this issue . Jiang Qi came back from his lunch and heard everyone was talking about this matter . Jiang Qi stood at the door and watched not only women,even the men in his department joined together forming a group of chatterer .
Jiang Qi sigh helplessly . It seems he better not disturb their excitement ba .
Then he turned around and head on upstairs to find Ke Yan .
" Ke Yan?" There are no one outside and Jiang Qi guess they had all gone for lunch and have not returned . Jiang Qi gently pushed the door of Ke Yan’s office, but he found no one was inside .
“ Ke Yan...” Jiang Qi called out once again but there was still no response .
Jiang Qi walked to the lounge and gently push the door to open . Then he saw Ke Yan on the bed, taking a nap .
He step lightly towards the bed and stared at Ke Yan’s sleeping appearance . Hey! The longer he watch, the blinder he become! His boyfriend max-value is simply against the sky ah! He leaned down and left a feather-like kisses on Ke Yan’s lips .
Suddenly Ke Yan’s eyes opened and the kiss turned deep .
Jiang Qi pushed Ke Yan away from him gently and with a flushed face gasped for breaths . He saw Ke Yan’s eyes was still closing and knew that he had not fully awakened . Jiang Qi’s hands patted Ke Yan on the face and said, " Your eyes are still close and you dare to kiss me! What if it was someone else?"
Ke Yan smirked and pulled Jiang Qi’s waist closer to his . Then he buried his face into Jiang Qi’s stomach and said, “ because your body have that special smell . ”
“ Smell?” Jiang Qi sniffed around his body and felt a little speechless looking at Ke Yan . There’s absolutely nothing smelly about him ah!
“ Your smell have a milky taste . ” As he answered, Ke Yan’s attention went towards Jiang Qi’s neck as he indulge in that unique taste .
Jiang Qi was speechless by Ke Yan’s action, sniffing his neck like a little puppy .
But this matter start on that day when they were a little free . So after work both of them went to the supermarket together . Unintentionally, they caught up with the supermarket activities . As long as they bought goods at more than 500 yuan, they could participate in a lucky draw .
Once Jiang Qi heard about the lucky draw, he immediately looked at the receipt on his hand . 523 . 98 yuan! It was more than five hundred, so he pulled Ke Yan towards the lucky draw .
When they reach to the place where the lucky draw was being held, there were a lot of people lining up to draw . Both Jiang Qi and Ke Yan lined up for a while before it was finally their turn . Jiang Qi quickly reached into the cardboard box and took a piece of paper from inside . Jiang Qi’s luck can still be considered as good, because when so many people have not won any prize, he actually won five bottles of milk shower gel .
Jiang Qi was happy, and with his silly little smile going home with a bag full of five bottles of milk shower gel .
As the shower gels are time-limited, Jiang Qi started to use it the next day . But regardless of Jiang Qi’s persuasion, Ke Yan resolutely turned a blind eye to it and refused to use it .
After using it, two bottles were used up pretty quickly . And thus, the mystery of where Jiang Qi’s milky fragrance came from is solved .
Chapter 62 Part 2 - Company Trip
Jiang Qi pinched Ke Yan’s thigh, and then he lie down in bed together with him . Jiang Qi pulled his tie loose and asked Ke Yan: “ Ke Yan, this company trip everyone seems to prefer going to the beachside . ”
" Is it? Then, what about you?"
" I am okay with anywhere . " Jiang Qi felt that no matter where they go to play, it would end up as a fun trip for him .
“ Then they just need to draw two strips of paper going to the beach, and all problem will be solved . ”
“ Who actually thought of using the lucky draw in the first place!” Jiang Qi asked curiously .
" It’s grandfather . At that time, Ke Group newly established and it proceed on the right track . Employees at that time were usually stressed out . So, grandfather wanted everyone to have a chance to relax . At least taking two days worth of time going somewhere to play together . But at that time, company doesn’t have a lot of money and at the same time grandfather don’t want employees to bear the cost . Aside from that, grandfather don’t want employees to think company as being stingy . That’s why they came up with this method, and let employees wrote a few of their choices and draw it on their own to avoid any dissatisfaction from them .
" Wow! It’s a great businessman! Really not afraid to spend money to gain benefits . " Jiang Qi couldn’t help but admire the vision of Ke Yan’s grandfather .
“ However, now that Ke Group already in a great position, the employees were either climbing the mountain or growing vegetables . ”
“ Their luck was really rotten . ” Jiang Qi jokingly said .
Ke Yan caress Jiang Qi’s hair and held him to his chest . “ Let’s sleep again . ”
“ En . ”
When Jiang Qi went downstairs after the short nap with Ke Yan, everyone had started to work on their desk again . Jiang Qi hide his crumpled suit behind his back as he walk back to his office .
Suddenly someone called out to Jiang Qi . “ Manager Jiang!”
Jiang Qi turned back and look at the person who had just called out to him and asked, " What is it?"
“ Just now, everyone had decided that our department’s representative for the lucky draw would be you . ”
“ Me?” Jiang Qi pointed his finger on his own face with a surprise .
“ Yeah . So you have to work hard and help us to draw the best destination!”
“ Ah?” Jiang Qi wants to say that he really don’t want to take up this heavy responsibility on his shoulder . Should he tell them he don’t want to be the one because he is afraid they all would treat him contemptuously if he got unlucky?
Under everyone’s excitement, the day of drawing finally come . Every department shows rigid enthusiasm to the current affair .
However, representatives from every department had their faces colored with anxiety . Including Jiang Qi .
“ There’s no need to be so nervous, right . ” Yang Shao Yu look at the group of employees downstairs wearing nervous expression and shifted his sight to an equally nervous Jiang Qi by Ke Yan’s side .
Jiang Qi’s face is a bit distorted listening to Yang Shao Yu’s rhetoric . He remembered everyone faces looking at him yesterday as they went off after work . Their looks clearly conveyed ‘ YOU MUST DRAW OUT THE BEACHSIDE!’ You are our HOPE!
" In fact, playing on the mountain is also fun, right?" Jiang Qi muttered .
Ke Yan looked at Jiang Qi and said, " We already put an extra two paper strips for beachside option . So, there’s no need to be so nervous okay . "
" En . " Jiang Qi nodded .
Originally Ke Yan wants to tell Jiang Qi to draw out first so that he don’t have to keep on fretting . But then he remember, he had told Yang Shao Yu to add another extra strips of paper inside the box and it would be inappropriate if the things was exposed . Since the box was prepared by Yang Shao Yu, if the result was not up to expectation, he fear the employees would question the result afterwards and it will create a contradictory situation .
After everything is ready, the lucky draw started . Each representative of each department was looking forward to come and draw the lot . But, they were looking nervous every time they shoved their hands into the box . Some of them walk away with a depression on their faces .
Looking at the scene, one by one of the representative finished their task but there was no Jiang Qi’s figure in sight . People in his department were anxious . Everything was almost done, but our representative is suddenly missing . How to do ah!!
So where is Jiang Qi? At the moment he was stuck in the toilet, having a diarrhea . It’s not because he was nervous, it’s just the consequences of eating too much at lunch .
When Jiang Qi came out of the toilet, it was just right on his turn . Jiang Qi was surprised . He didn’t expect to be the last one left to draw . Jiang Qi’s eyes quickly swept passed all the papers that had been drawn on the side and his forehead couldn’t help but wrinkled . Why not one is a good choice ah!
Jiang Qi glanced at the lucky draw box and without hesitation he reached into the box and took a piece of paper out . Then he spread the paper open under the eyes of everyone .
Everyone immediately cheered after they saw the contents of the paper . They were so happy they started planning on going to go to buy a swimming trunks after work . And the women are noisily chatting on what type of swimsuits they want to wear .
Jiang Qi laugh in a good mood . Sure enough! If you want to get something good, you should never hesitate . You would get lucky only when you do it very quick .
This is Jiang Qi’s mentality on many years experience of drawing lucky draw .
Looking at Ke Yan standing at the back of the crowd, Jiang Qi smile and waves the strip of paper to him . Ke Yan saw his action and couldn’t help but smile as well . Jiang Qi didn’t know how good looking he look at the moment, with his eyes shining brightly as he smile in excitement .
After work, Jiang Qi was happy to pull Ke Yan to buy their swimming trunks . The two went into a swimwear store . Jiang Qi looked at the variety styles of swimwear in the store and felt that the price was expensive, but the quality was good .
He looks at all kind of swimming trunk and choose a relatively simple black colored number for Ke Yan . He also choose another simple style for himself . Ke Yan was pleased with Jiang Qi’s choice for him and then they immediately settle the bill . It can be said that they had settled their purchase in less than five minutes .
This is how real man buy things!!!
When they returned home, Jiang Qi took out his suitcase and arranged his things . T-shirts, casual cropped pants, underwear, and clean towels . When Jiang Qi was cleaning up, Ke Yan came in and saw he is packing up and asked . " Are you happy?"
“ En . ” Jiang Qi nodded . “ Of course I’m very happy . Come on sort out your things . After two days, we will set out on our trip . ”
Ke Yan’s eyebrow raised as he spoke to Jiang Qi . “ My things just put together inside your suitcase ba . It should not occupied a lot of the space, right . ”
“ No . ” Jiang Qi shakes his head and refused Ke Yan immediately . “ We might not be assign to the same room . Moreover, which boss will share the same suitcase with his subordinate ah . ”
" Then, you help me to pack up ba . " Ke Yan likes Jiang Qi to help him pack his suitcase because Jiang Qi knows him very well . He knows what he likes, and he will never put anything useless inside the case .
“ Alright . ” Jiang Qi readily agreed .
Ke Yan walked out of the room, took out his phone and make a call .
" Hello?" Yang Shao Yu’s voice came from the phone .
" Help me arrange a room with Jiang Qi . "
" Ah, okay! I say, you . . . " Yang Shao Yu’s sentence was cut halfway before Ke Yan hang up on him . Yang Shao Yu throw the phone aside and continued to flirt with the woman next to him .
