Chapter 497 Celebration Banquet!
Military Town Canteen.
On the stairs leading to the third floor, two staff members pulled up the isolation tape and hung a sign saying "No entry for private use".
Several diners who were going up the stairs were stunned, and had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs. At the same time, they couldn't help but look back frequently, with curiosity in their eyes.
The third floor of the canteen is the only place in the entire Ruoqiang base that is allowed to be reserved. It is specially provided for the scientific research team to hold a celebration banquet. General small achievements are not eligible. Only a scientific research project of greater value must be completed before you can apply for a reserved place!
Everyone who has worked at the Ruoqiang base is looking forward to one day being able to book a celebration banquet in the canteen. Although the canteen is not a luxury hotel or a century-old winery, it is an honor after all!
When I meet internal colleagues in the future, who can accidentally mention the experience of renting out the cafeteria in Jungong Town, then wave their hands and say indifferently that the taste is just average? This is a high-level way of showing off, and they often pretend to be unhappy.
Tonight, those who are lucky enough to book the venue are...Song He team!
The entire third floor was busy. Team members in casual clothes were busy pushing tables and pushing scattered small square tables in the cafeteria together to form a large table that everyone could sit around.
Soon, the big table was set up and everyone sat down. The aunt in the cafeteria began to busily serve pre-dinner snacks and tea, and there was the sound of eating melon seeds.
Lou Jinghui suddenly stood up, still holding a small microphone in his hand, opened it and blew it, and all eyes immediately focused on him.
"It's now 7:50, and the food will officially be served at 8! The boss has arranged for me to be the host tonight. Let me talk about tonight's arrangements first!" Lou Jinghui said with a smile.
"Applause!" Song He raised his hand and slapped it hard. Suddenly dozens of people applauded wildly, and the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.
"First of all, tonight's celebration banquet is of the highest standards. It's basically the menu for an international summit, including duck stewed with fresh lotus seeds, crab stuffed with oranges, prawns with almonds, grilled seasonal vegetables with fresh oyster mushrooms, grilled lamb chops with cumin, and matsutake mushrooms in clear soup. There are more than forty kinds of dishes in total. I ordered several portions of each dish to ensure that everyone can eat it at every seat!" Lou Jinghui said.
"There are all kinds of drinks, including Maotai for Maotai, Bordeaux for Bordeaux, Tsingtao beer for Tsingtao beer, and a full range of sodas, juices, and teas. Everyone has what they need! The boss asked me to tell you in advance that he doesn't drink, so who wants to find one? If he makes a toast, he’ll serve orange juice instead!”
"Of course, all the expenses for this banquet will be paid for by the boss, so everyone can eat!"
Suddenly there were cheers and boos. There was a gluttonous man who had been hungry all day and his eyes were glowing green. Song He sat at the main seat, drinking tea calmly and smiling as if he were inviting guests.
"In addition to the banquet, the boss will also announce multiple rewards tonight, which are guaranteed to be huge! A reward will be announced for every ten dishes, so everyone can look forward to it!" Lou Jinghui continued, "I have heard it from the boss beforehand. Some spoilers, I can only say that it will make everyone here so excited that they can’t sleep at night!”
The team members at the table stared straight at Song He, and they shouted anxiously:
"It's true! Boss, please spoil it!"
"Boss, I sleep very well. I don't believe there are any rewards that can keep me awake!"
"Damn, I'm so excited! What's the reward, boss!"
"I have been brushing test tubes in the laboratory for ten years. My heart has long been as cold as liquid nitrogen, but now my heart is feeling warm!"
Song He sipped his tea and remained motionless in the face of the urgent urging of dozens of people. He was very calm and had a masterly demeanor.
"Serving!" The auntie's shout suddenly came from the cafeteria.
A group of aunties from the canteen appeared pushing the dining cart, placing large plates on the table one after another, and kept announcing the names of the dishes.
"Beijing grilled scalloped vegetables, please use it slowly!" "Cumin grilled lamb chops, please use it slowly!" "Fugui eight small plates, please use it slowly!"
As the food was served, the team members actually started counting. At first, only a few people counted, but later everyone understood what they were counting, so everyone joined in, and the voices became more and more uniform, just like the countdown of the opening ceremony!
"1! 2! 3! 4! 5!"
Song He picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and ate, showing a speechless smile and shaking his head repeatedly.
"6! 7! 8! 9! 10!"
Amid cheers, Song He slowly put down his chopsticks and stood up, taking the microphone from Lou Jinghui.
"The first reward tonight is a group tour!" Song He said.
"Everyone has been bored in the laboratory for too long, and they are almost growing mushrooms. Before the project is completed, I will pay for everyone to go out and relax!"
"I asked several group leaders and deputy group leaders privately about specific travel plans. Some said they would climb Mount Everest, some said they would go to the Antarctic to see penguins, and some said they would go fishing for piranhas in the Amazon. I felt it was all outrageous. Our travel plan is still based on safety and comfort, don’t push the limits at every turn, after all, there are many old comrades in our team, and our bodies have not been tortured!”
"In one month, the travel expenses will be 60,000 yuan per person. Once the plan is submitted, I will approve the money. I wish everyone a happy time!"
"Eat, eat! Let's all come up with special lighting effects when the food is served!"
There was a burst of cheers, and everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat. It was great to be able to travel. With a daily travel budget of 2,000 yuan, it would definitely be fun!
But it sounds like just an appetizer. After all, this is just the first reward announced tonight, and everyone is secretly looking forward to the more important rewards in the future.
The shouts of the aunties in the cafeteria came, and the dining car rushed over in a mighty manner, and the second round of dishes was served!
Everyone started counting excitedly again, counting loudly from 1 to 10!
Song He stood up helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Everyone, don't just count, eat the vegetables!"
The team members burst into excited laughter and quickly fell silent, looking at the boss expectantly.
"For the second reward, I originally planned to give everyone a car, one for each person!"
"But after careful consideration, you all have different personal situations. Some people in our team can't drive, and they take self-driving taxis when they go out. There is no need to buy a car at all. Some people always take cars allocated by their work units. Some people live in Several cars.”
"Besides, the car they gave me was too expensive and I couldn't afford it. It was too cheap and not worth it. The style and color are even more difficult to choose!"
"So I decided to give the money directly! I will give each of you 300,000. If you want to buy a car, you can buy a car. If you want to buy something else, you can buy something else!"
After Song He finished speaking, he took out his phone and pressed it.
Suddenly, a series of text messages rang out on their mobile phones. Everyone hurriedly took out their mobile phones and screamed excitedly when they saw the text message containing 300,000 yuan!
The screams shook the window panes! Great apes return to their ancestors!
The aunties in the cafeteria who were watching from a distance covered their ears with envy on their faces.
After not taking more than two bites, the aunts continued to serve the dishes, and as everyone counted in unison, ten more dishes were served in one go.
Song He put down his chopsticks and stood up, looking around at everyone. After the stimulation of the first two rounds of rewards, everyone was extremely excited, their faces were extremely red, and they grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears.
"No, everyone, the first two rewards are just a small fraction. You are so excited so quickly. Do you think you can't take Suixinjiuxin Pills when you listen to the rewards that follow?" Song He picked up the orange juice cup, "Let's get up and have a drink to calm down! "
Everyone stood up quickly, hurriedly filled their glasses with drinks, and raised their glasses.
Many people were so excited that their hands even trembled slightly, and drinks dripped onto the table, causing bursts of laughter.
