Chapter 36: Happy New Year

"If you still can't learn to bow your head, then you have to try to endure the loneliness of being left out in the cold."
Ji Fei Fei stared at Ji Bai, as if he no longer knew her.
Self-esteem and pride made Ji Feifei choose to raise her noble head, turned and left, without asking her a word.
Ji Bai knew that Ji Fei Fei would not compromise easily. If she was the one who gave up so easily, the moment Ji Bai broke her "wing", she should give up.
But Ji Fei Fei did not, and she came back from Nirvana again.
During that time, Ji Feifei never stopped for a day. She kept pressing her parents, hoping that they would help her to call her grandma to make peace. She really wanted to participate in the annual meeting of the head office and hoped that grandma would watch her. In the case of poor health, open the net to satisfy her wish.
Tao Jiazhi has a deep love for women. Not only did she call the old lady, she even went to the old house to intercede, but she didn't even see her mother. The assistant always said that the chairman was very busy and didn't have time to see her.
It is naturally impossible for the elders to have trouble with the juniors, so she will not refuse directly, but she can choose not to listen or see.
Ji Feifei completely lost her heart with Ji Ji, even though she tried to beg her parents to help intercede, but she was already powerless.
And all this is thanks to Ji Bai!
The annual meeting was held at eight o'clock in the evening on the New Year's Eve. In the afternoon, the aunt at home took out the dress and suddenly found that there was a faint slip line at the side waist of the dress.
The aunt is very nervous: "Is it accidentally broken? I obviously picked it up very carefully."
The location of this slip line is hidden and can't be seen easily, but it can be slid in the most critical position. If it is not handled in time, it is very likely that Jibai will make a fool of himself at the annual meeting.
Ji Bai looked back at Ji Fei Fei. She stood in front of the stairs with her arms folded, looking down at her blankly.
The expression in her eyes is clear just to say again--
Come on, all jade and stone are burned.
Since you let me not go to the annual meeting, don't want to go either.
Ji Fei Fei thought that Ji Bai would immediately explode her hair and question her. She was also fully prepared. As long as she angered Ji Bai and made her crazy, Ji Fei Fei would pretend to be wronged and fainted, and blame everything on Ji Bai. On the head, let parents and grandma see the true face of Ji Bai.
However, what disappointed Ji Feifei was that Ji Bai did not criticize her severely as she wished. She just held her dress with distress and asked Auntie if there is a remedy.
Auntie is a good cook in daily cooking and she can also do needlework, but wherever she has come into contact with such a priceless dress, this must be done by an experienced tailor.
Tao Jiazhi said eagerly: "Oh, what can we do now? The annual meeting is about to begin. At this time, apart from the skirt, the old lady will definitely be angry."
Ji Mingzhi said: "Or, or change a dress, there is no way, I believe Mom will understand."
Jibai glanced at his parents and said calmly: "I don't have any other dresses."
"Aren't there so many skirts in the cloakroom upstairs?"
When Tao Jiazhi said this, it suddenly occurred to him that there was a whole wardrobe of skirts in the cloakroom, all of Ji Fei Fei's. It seemed that they had never ordered a dress for Ji Bai.
Since childhood, Jibai has always been the one ignored. Whether it is the company’s annual meeting or the friendship, Ji Feifei is a much-anticipated little princess, but because Jibai’s personality is introverted, they worry that she will make a fool of herself and even have the opportunity to participate. No.
Ji Mingzhi's face looked a little ugly. Although he felt guilty in his heart, it was more because his daughter was not able to attend the annual meeting and gave him a face, and he was worried.
"Or, wear your sister's dress."
Ji Feifei said appropriately: "Dad, those dresses are all customized according to my figure, and my sister can't wear it."
There is quite a big difference between Ji Feihi and Jibai's body. She is a few centimeters taller than Jibai. At the same time, because of excess nutrition, she has a plump body, and Jibai's body is thin, so she can't really wear her skirt.
After thinking about it, there was indeed no recruiting. Tao Jiazhi had to tentatively ask Ji Bai: "Bai Bai, you call your grandma and talk about it, you don't go to the annual meeting today."
"How can it work?" Ji Mingzhi was anxious: "How can I not go!"
"How to go, the skirts are all broken, when the time comes to make a fool of yourself and be laughed at, our family's faces will all be lost."
"There will always be a way. You can't wear dresses or other clothes?"
"Please, this is the annual meeting of Ji's Group. Do you think it is a small gathering of any company?"
Tao Jiazhi continued to persuade Jibai to say: "It’s not that you don’t want to go anymore. For nothing, you tell your grandma, let your sister go to the annual meeting for you. Anyway, for such an important party, we must have someone in our family. Whether it's Fei Fei or White, it's the same."
As soon as this remark came out, Ji Mingzhi immediately responded: "Yes, I can't go in vain, can I go to Fei Fei, mainly...our family should indeed go alone, that's justified."
The parents discussed hotly, but Jibai remained silent from beginning to end without saying a word.
She has seen through the frankness of her parents.
Participation, profit-seeking, selfishness...The root of human inferiority is fully manifested in them, and she does not expect them to discover with conscience and assume the responsibilities as parents.
"I don't know how to make this call." Ji Bai walked out of the house holding the gift box, "Ji Fei Fei wants to go, let her call herself."
"where are you going!"
"Find someone to sew a skirt."
Tao Jiazhi eagerly chased out: "Today is New Year's Eve, and the boutique has already closed. At this time, where do you go to find a tailor?"
"do not know!"
But Jibai is looking for it, as long as the mountains and rivers are not exhausted, she will not give up.
Behind him, Tao Jiazhi said to Ji Mingzhi: "Or, you can call your mother."
Ji Mingzhi said: "You don't need to fight, you can't go in vain. Fei Fei will just take her invitation to attend."

Holding the gift dress box, Jibai went straight to the largest CBD business district in the city center, looking for high-end fashion stores.
This year is New Year's Eve. There are not many stores in the business district, and many stores are closed.
Jibai went around in the CBD and found nothing. It was already five o'clock, and there were only three hours left before the annual meeting began.
The dress box was heavy, and her elbow was so sore that she was numb.
As night is approaching, the lights are on, and not far from the river surface, colorful fireworks rise into the sky, blooming clusters of beautiful fireworks.
Jibai sat on the wooden bench on the street, with the dress box beside her, curled up and buried her head in her knees.
After rebirth, she has made up her mind not to hit the south wall or look back. She will either die or live beautifully, so that those who have hurt her will get retribution.
But many times, Jibai really feels... so tired.
She is like a rubber band, always tight, not knowing when she will break herself.
Xie Sui came out of the supermarket that was about to close, carrying a bag of stewed vegetables and beer, and saw the girl sitting alone on a bench on the street.
She lowered her head, bowed her back into a hill, shivering slightly.
...Cried?
Suddenly Xie Sui's heart seemed to have been slapped with a knife, and the pain caused the hands under his sleeves to shake.
Xie Sui never sympathized with anyone's weakness or tears. He was as indifferent as a dictator, sitting on the wall of the lonely city alone, watching the empty kingdom.
There is nothing in the world worthy of him stopping for even a second.
But at the moment when he saw Jibai crying, Xie Sui felt that his lonely city collapsed instantly.
He paced and walked towards her.
Ji Bai felt that someone came to her, she rubbed her crimson eyes and raised her head.
Xie Sui's face was calm, his eyebrows were gentle, and his dark eyes showed a complex expression.
Jibai wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up his gift box and got up, and said softly to him: "Happy new year."
At the moment she staggered him, Xie Sui suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her back involuntarily, held the back of her head, and pressed it into his arms.
"Don't cry."
I forbid you to cry.
The moment she was pulled into her arms, heavy snow flew in the sky.
