Chapter 803 Let’s Dance
Originally, if it had been normal, Chang Haonan would have stayed in Shengjing for one night after completing the airport pick-up.
But the situation today is quite special.
December 31, 1999.
Strictly speaking, the last year of the 20th century is 2000, not 1999. The first year of the new century will not be until 2001.
But people invented the concept of "millennium", which made this day very popular.
In this last life, Chang Haonan was still a struggling graduate student who was losing a lot of hair while working on his master's thesis, so naturally he had no special experience.
But now he discovered that there are quite a lot of activities related to the Millennium New Year's Eve...
And it is generally celebrated by all walks of life.
So much so that he had to attend a social banquet -
jointly organized by several military-industrial groups in Beijing, including the Aviation Power Group.
The original purpose was to celebrate the new millennium and bring an end to the fruitful 1999 for everyone.
It is equivalent to a joint celebration banquet.
Of course, if this is the case, then Chang Haonan will not participate if he does not participate.
Among so many leaders in the group, he is the only one missing.
But as the organization went on and on, it also added the link of socializing with other units in Beijing.
To put it bluntly, it is to help older men and women who are not yet single to solve their personal problems.
Originally, this kind of activity would be very embarrassing if the leaders were present -
Both the participants and the leaders would be embarrassed.
But it is always organized by the unit, and leaders must be present.
This year specifically, the situation is a little different.
Chang Haonan, as a member of the Aviation Power Group team, perfectly meets the above three conditions at the same time.
Older, single, young.
That’s right, in 1999, it was already a bit late to be 25 if you hadn’t solved your personal problems yet.
Although considering his Ph.D., this age is not that exaggerated.
But does it matter?
It's not important.
The important thing is that others held a meeting, and in the end, in the absence of Chang Haonan himself, the decision was logically made to let him represent ten military industrial groups to speak a few words at the gathering.
So, Chang Haonan had no choice but to rush back to the capital that afternoon after finishing his business...
...
The entire event was held in a hotel in Beijing.
Directly occupy two semi-open halls on the entire floor.
In this way, you can celebrate and socialize at the same time without delaying the two.
Chang Haonan changed his clothes and took a car to the hotel. While complaining in his heart that he didn’t know who the little boy came up with this idea, under the guidance of the hotel service staff, he found the hotel on the 6th floor. venue.
Then, he saw Tang Lintian not far from the elevator entrance.
The other party obviously also saw Chang Haonan who had just stepped out of the elevator, and came straight to greet him.
"Professor Chang, everyone is waiting for you."
"Principal Tang?"
Chang Haonan was a little surprised, but still shook hands with the other party:< br>
"How do you..."
"As for the friendship, there are many young comrades in the school who have this need, so as the principal, I have to come over."
Chang Hao said this Of course Nan didn't believe it.
In addition to them, there were also some theater, song and dance troupes and other units coming to the party this time, and I didn’t see all their leaders coming.
So, he probably considered that there are people who can talk to several military-industrial groups today, so he came to get acquainted with them.
After all, about 60% of Beijing Airlines graduates enter these units every year.
There is no harm in building a good relationship.
Chang Haonan was dragged all the way into the venue located on the east side of this floor.
As he was about to enter, a staff member handed him a speech.
Then, Tang Lintian patted him on the shoulder:
"Professor Chang, I, an old man, will not get involved in the affairs of you young people. I went over there to drink first..."
Then he left him alone at the door and went straight to the other side to gather together. Went there for middle-aged people.
Chang Haonan looked at the other party's back, and then at the two pieces of paper in his hand.
Now that the matter has come to this, he can't let go, so he can only bite the bullet. When Chang Haonan appeared on the stage in front, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.
About two seconds later, thunderous applause broke out.
There are even those who are closer to the front and have already put on a posture of eager to try——
The Aerospace Power Group has a young and promising leader, and this matter is public, so Many people know it.
Of course Chang Haonan’s specific situation will not be posted on the website.
But on this occasion today, it is really difficult not to make people start thinking about a question.
Mr. Chang, is there a possibility that he is still single?
At this time, Zhu Yadan who was following behind was more nervous than Chang Haonan himself.
"Everyone attending the event, good evening!"
Since it is an activity aimed at making friends, the atmosphere must be created in a relaxed direction.
This is the same even in leadership speeches.
This is also the main reason why no one has been willing to show this face in the past.
It’s not that I can’t let go of my figure. It’s really difficult for a group of middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties to appear energetic.
If you insist on pretending, it may lead to a dark history.
However, Chang Haonan is really only 25 years old after all, so there is nothing wrong with doing this kind of warm-up job.
Fortunately, the speech was not long and Chang Haonan spoke very fast, so it only took less than five minutes to finish the opening session.
"..."
"Finally, on behalf of all the organizers of this event, please allow me to wish you all a pleasant evening!"
He finished the last sentence and then turned off the microphone Hand it over to the real host next to you, and then prepare to run away.
But this time the social activities have officially begun, and it is not that easy to leave.
“Professor, do you want to dance together?”
A familiar voice came from behind Chang Haonan.
He turned around and saw Yao Mengna wearing a dress.
As a single young female teacher at Beijing Hang University, it was expected that she would be drawn to participate in this event.
But being invited to dance by his former senior sister, current colleague and subordinate was obviously not in Chang Haonan's plan.
The bigger problem is...
"But..."
Chang Haonan looked around.
Yao Mengna's aura obviously scared off many people who were eager to test the track, so except for her and Zhu Yadan, the rest of the people stopped. A few steps away.
In fact, as a normal person, Chang Haonan can also see what Yao Mengna thinks about herself.
It is naturally impossible to say that you hate the other party.
But on the one hand, he feels that he is indeed still young and should devote his energy to work first and not worry about personal issues.
After all, his situation is special, and it is impossible for the organization to give up on him because he has not started a family, like most people.
On the other hand, Chang Haonan, who has been single for more than 40 years in his previous life, is actually a little afraid of this kind of thing...
It is the kind of person who suddenly breaks into his life, and then The fear of changing all past habits.
So, he was still prepared to keep a low profile.
"But I can't dance..."
Chang Haonan gave this somewhat embarrassing answer.
This is not entirely an excuse for refusal.
But he really doesn’t know how.
But now that Yao Mengna has stood up, it is obvious that she cannot give up easily:
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you."
She smiled:
"It would be better to say that after so many years, I finally found a place where I am good at but you are not. It’s not easy...”
Now that I have said this, if I refuse again, I will really become a poet of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Chang Haonan nodded:
"Okay, but I might step on your foot."
On the other side, Yao Mengna was visibly relieved when she heard the affirmative answer.
It took a lot of courage for her to take the initiative to stand up today. If she is rejected by Zhiqiu, then she really doesn’t know how to face the opponent in the future.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't let your shoes fly out."
She replied with a smile.
