My name is Xiao Wang, and I am an ordinary office worker working as a programmer in a foreign company. I go to work at 9 o'clock every day and leave work at 8 o'clock in the evening, and occasionally need to work overtime to deal with emergencies. I'm an introvert, I don't talk to my colleagues much, and I rarely socialize after work.
Just yesterday, I was working late at my desk again. An important project of the company was about to go live, and I was assigned to be in charge of the development of the core module. In order to catch up, I have been working overtime until two or three in the morning for a week.
"Xiao Wang, how many of us go out for supper tonight, can we come together?"
I frowned, it was past ten o'clock, and I still had a lot of work to do. But looking at Lao Li's message, I was a little embarrassed.
Just when I hesitated, Lao Li's phone suddenly called: "Xiao Wang, have you received the message? We are already in the restaurant, come over quickly!"
"Xiao Wang, it's so late, you should take a rest. Come on, come on, we're all waiting for you!" Lao Li said enthusiastically.
I wanted to shirk a few more words, but listening to Lao Li's tone, I knew that he was really looking forward to me going. Thinking of Lao Li's usual care for me, I felt that there was no reason to shirk it anymore, so I said, "Okay, I'll clean up and come over." ”
"Okay! I sent you the address, we are in the smoked monk roast duck shop, you hurry up!" Lao Li said happily.
I hung up the phone and looked at the time, it was already ten twenty. I turned off my computer, packed my things, sent a message to the project manager explaining the situation, and hurried out of the office.
The address sent by Lao Li was not far from the company, and I soon rushed to the smoked monk roast duck restaurant. This roast duck restaurant doesn't close until 11 p.m. and is one of the more famous late-night snack options near our company.
As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw Lao Li and a few other colleagues sitting at a large table inside. In addition to Lao Li, there are five or six people such as Xiao Zhang and Manager Wei.
"Xiao Wang, eat quickly, this roast duck is delicious. "Lao Li beckoned me to eat.
I glanced at the food on the table and saw that most of it had already been half eaten. I took a little scrap and put it on a plate, and I lost my appetite.
"Come on, come on, warm up with some wine. "Manager Wei poured me a beer.
"Thank you, Manager Wei. I politely took the glass and took a sip.
"Xiao Wang, I heard that the progress of the project has been very tight recently, and I am working overtime. Xiao Zhang asked me with concern.
"Well, it's busy. I nodded.
"It's hard to work overtime! Lao Li raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with the others.
I also raised my glass and touched it with everyone. I didn't feel happy, I thought I still had a lot of work to do, but they called me out for supper, and I didn't know how busy I was.
"Xiao Wang, you should also pay attention to rest, don't exhaust yourself. "Manager Wei persuaded me.
"Well, thank you Manager Wei for your concern, I'll pay attention. I forced a smile.
"Come on, come on, toast Xiao Wang again!" Lao Li poured everyone's wine glasses again.
I was a little embarrassed, and I couldn't just excuse myself, so I had another drink.
"Xiao Wang, work can be done slowly, health is the most important. "Xiao Zhang also persuaded me.
I nodded, thinking to myself that you don't know the progress of my work, so what's the point of talking about these useless scenes.
In this way, I barely ate a little leftovers and touched a few glasses of wine with them perfunctorily. Everyone advised me to pay attention to my body, and I nodded perfunctorily yes.
After more than an hour, everyone had almost eaten and began to check out. Lao Li beckoned the waiter over and asked for a bill.
"I'm in for a treat today!" Lao Li said very generously.
"Lao Li, it's not appropriate for you to have a treat, let's make it. Manager Wei said.
When I heard this, my heart sank. I just came to eat a little scraps, but I have to split the bill equally, which is too unreasonable.
"It's okay, I'll invite you today! Lao Li is still very persistent.
"That's not embarrassing, Lao Li. Again, that's how it works. Xiao Zhang also said.
I looked at the amount on the bill, and my heart became more and more unhappy. According to their will, I have to share it even if I come late, which makes me very reluctant.
Just when I was hesitating to pay the money and leave, Xiao Zhang spoke: "I said that you guys, tease Xiao Wang all day long, look at his helpless look!"
When I heard Xiao Zhang's words, I was a little confused. Lao Li and the others also laughed.
"Xiao Wang, in fact, we called you out today to give you a surprise. Lao Li said to me with a smile.
"Surprise?" I'm confused.
"Yes, it's your birthday, we want to celebrate for you, so we set a trap for you to come out!" Xiao Zhang explained with a smile.
That's how I realized, they didn't plan to make it at all, they were just kidding me!
"Haha, Xiao Wang, your expression is so wonderful! we just want to see how you will react when you learn about it!" Manager Wei also laughed.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Wang!" Everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses with me.
"Thank you, I'm so happy!" I was very moved.
"We also ordered a cake that we can cut later!" Lao Li said.
"It's my favorite blueberry cream cake!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"Thank you so much! I've been completely deceived!" I said happily.
"Haha, we just want to see your reaction! Manager Wei said with a smile.
Everyone laughed happily again. I couldn't help but smile when I looked at the leftovers on the table, and then at their happy faces.
At this time, the waiter came over with a beautiful cake. There were also candles lit on the cake that read "Happy Birthday to Xiao Wang".
We turned off the lights in the restaurant and sang the birthday song together. When I blew out the candles, everyone applauded and congratulated.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Wang!"
"Thank you!" I said excitedly.
Xiao Zhang helped me cut a large piece of cake, and I took a bite, and the blueberry cream was sweet
Xiao Zhang helped me cut a large piece of cake, and I took a bite, and the sweetness of blueberry cream filled my mouth. It was my favorite cake, and I was so touched that they remembered it.
"Is the cake delicious?" Lao Li asked me with a smile.
"Very tasty!" I gave a big thumbs up.
"Well, we're going to your favorite cake shop to order it. Xiao Zhang said.
I don't know how to thank you. I say from the bottom of my heart.
"We are all very grateful to you, Xiao Wang. Manager Wei said.
"Thank me?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yes, you have been joining our team for more than a year, and you have worked hard during this time, often working overtime to help us solve problems. Lao Li said.
"Yes, we are very happy to have a hardworking and responsible colleague like you. So today we would like to surprise you and thank you for your efforts. Xiao Zhang also said.
When I heard what they said, I was thrilled. It turned out that everyone noticed my efforts, and I think that my previous resentment for working overtime was all gone.
"I would also like to thank everyone for their continued support and encouragement. I was so happy with this surprise today!" I say it from the bottom of my heart.
"Haha, we're all glad you liked the surprise!" Lao Li said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are very happy to see you so happy. Xiao Zhang also said.
"Come on, come on, we have to toast Xiao Wang again!" Manager Wei raised his glass.
"Thank you!" I raised my glass and touched them.
We chatted happily and reminisced about the past year. There is laughter, joy, and a good look forward to the future.
"Xiao Wang, in the new year, let's continue to work hard!" Lao Li said.
"Definitely, with your lovely colleagues, it's worth the hard work!" I said with a smile.
"Then it's decided! Work together to help each other in the future!" Xiao Zhang also said.
"That's right! Unity is strength!" Manager Wei also said. I looked at them with courage and strength in my heart. Yes, with them by my side, with their support and encouragement, I believe I can do better!
Thanks to you, I can get exercise and growth in the company. I raised my glass and said to Lao Li.
"Haha, I also want to toast Xiao Wang! It's really our honor for you to join our team. Lao Li also smiled and clinked glasses with me.
Thank you for your guidance and help in my work. "I toasted Manager Wei again.
"Xiao Wang, you are too polite! It is also my responsibility to guide you. "Manager Wei also paid tribute to me.
"Finally, I would like to give me a drink! You are always there to help me in my most difficult times. "I toast Xiao Zhang.
"Xiao Wang, we encourage each other to make progress. Xiao Zhang also returned the salute to me.
I think what I gained the most today is that I got to know all of you again, which made me find the meaning and motivation of my work!" I say it from the bottom of my heart.
"We are all deeply touched by your attitude, you have injected positive energy into our team. Lao Li said.
"That's right! In the future, let's work together to help each other and grow together!" Manager Wei said.
Let's work for a common goal!" I raise my glass!
"Cheers!" Everyone also raised their glasses and smiled.
At this moment, I felt like I was superhuman, full of infinite power. With them by my side, I believe that no difficulty can bring me down.
"Hey, it's not too early, we should go back too. Manager Wei looked at the time and said.
"Ah, it's so late, I have to work tomorrow. Xiao Zhang also said.
"Then let's go back first, today is really a very happy night!" I say.
"Yes, we also had a lot of fun celebrating Xiao Wang's birthday. Lao Li said.
We settled the bill and walked out of the restaurant together. The night wind blew on my face and I took a deep breath.
"See you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye to them.
"See you tomorrow! Happy birthday, Xiao Wang!" They waved goodbye to me.
I walked slowly on my way home by myself, with a happy smile on my face all the time. Everything that happened today was like a beautiful dream. I understand that with them by my side, my life will become more fulfilling and meaningful.
From now on, I will cherish this team and my colleagues even more.
"Slept well, Lao Li. I'm still immersed in last night's surprise. I laughed.
"Haha, looking at your energetic appearance today, our goal has been achieved. Lao Li also smiled.
At this time, Xiao Zhang and Manager Wei also came to greet me.
"Xiao Wang, did you go home well last night?" Xiao Zhang asked with concern.
"It's going well, and I've had your blessings echoing in my head all the way. I said.
"Haha, we're all excited to give you an unforgettable birthday!" Manager Wei said.
"Yes, we're glad to see you so happy. Xiao Zhang also said.
"Thank you so much! This will be a birthday for me that I will never forget. I say from the bottom of my heart.
"We are all very grateful to you for being a great team member!" Lao Li patted me on the shoulder.
"Xiao Wang, you have to remember the promise we said last night to continue to work hard!" Manager Wei reminded me.
"Of course, I will work harder and never disappoint everyone's expectations. I said firmly.
"Very good! With your words, I am relieved. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"I'll give you my full support, too! Lao Li also said.
"I will! With you by my side, I dare to face any challenge!" I'm confident.
"Haha, this is our little king!" Manager Wei said with a smile.
"Come on! for our team!" Xiao Zhang also encouraged.
"Definitely!" I clenched my fists, full of energy.
From that day on, I threw myself into my work and was passionate every day. I remember what my team members expected of me, and that became my motivation to keep moving forward. I also often take the initiative to help them, and our team is getting more and more cooperative.
With their support, my abilities have also improved a lot. I became the backbone of the team. I owe all this to my colleagues for their encouragement and trust. It also showed me that as long as people care about each other and encourage each other, there are infinite possibilities.
Thinking back to that birthday night now, I feel incredibly warm and happy. I will always remember the blessings given to me by my colleagues and pass on this friendship. I believe that as long as we are grateful and loving, we can create a better future.
