To be exact, when she heard Mo Li talking about "a free meal in a seven-star hotel", she couldn't help but get angry.

"What do you mean by freeloading?" She immediately raised her voice, frowning and glaring at Mo Li and her colleagues: "Do you guys understand the ways of the world? It's my birthday after all, and the venue I chose is a seven-star hotel! For such a grand birthday party, you should at least have some... should have some..."

Speaking of the latter part, even someone as thick-skinned as her found it difficult to speak.

"...What? Should there be some expression?" Mo Li tilted his head slightly and looked at her with a smile.

Qiao Yixun's face flushed for a rare moment, and he rolled his eyes silently in his heart? He thought, isn't this nonsense?

Mo Li took out the notice that the HR department had just issued and said slowly, "Sister Xiao Qiao, it is clearly written in the document issued by the HR department that this event is a special team-building activity for our business department... Since it is a team-building activity, you can't ask everyone to contribute both manpower and money, right?"

Qiao Yixun's little thoughts were ruthlessly exposed by her. His face turned red all the way to his cheeks, and he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

She was furious. What Mo Li said made sense, but was it so easy to book a banquet at a seven-star hotel? The minimum charge for food and beverage was 888 yuan per person, and that was just a buffet. Such a high-standard birthday banquet meant that every guest who came to the birthday banquet had to give her a red envelope or birthday gift worth at least four figures, so that she wouldn't lose money on the birthday banquet!

Although she would not be responsible for all the expenses of the birthday party, she certainly looked forward to everyone's birthday gifts! After all, no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat. Why should she let these colleagues take advantage of her for nothing?

……

In fact, the colleagues in the company are all adults, who doesn't know a little bit about the ways of the world? They didn't want to attend her birthday party before, simply because she had done too many tricks before and they didn't want to be associated with her.

Originally, if Mo Li had not mentioned the gift, colleagues would have felt embarrassed to attend Xiao Qiao's birthday party empty-handed. Even if the gift was only three or five hundred yuan, it would have been a token of appreciation.

But after Mo Li's suggestion, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus in an instant, and they were all prepared to treat this birthday party as a simple department team-building event, intending to just bring their mouths to eat for free.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the office became lively again. Everyone followed suit, completely ignoring Qiao Yixun's life or death.

"Yeah, since it's called a department team building, why would we employees have to pay for it?"

"That would take up our precious weekend rest time. We're already giving you face by going. You wouldn't want to accept a gift, would you?"

"Xiao Qiao, you said earlier that there was no need for gifts. This is purely a welfare for everyone. How could we still refuse? You should have informed us earlier if there was such a good thing!"

"Don't worry, even if it rains knives from the sky that day, we will definitely be there on time!"

"Hey, I think what you said makes sense. That's a seven-star hotel! Of course those of us who have never seen the world should go and see it for ourselves!"

"Your rich boyfriend is so nice! Remember to call me next time there's a free food event like this!"

"..."

After spending some time together, everyone already knew what kind of person Qiao Yixun was. Saying these things was nothing more than deliberately poking at her lungs.

The effect of this trick was obviously very significant. Qiao Yixun, who loved to take advantage of others every day, seemed to have foreseen that she would be severely exploited by everyone on the weekend. Her face turned pale.

The notice issued by the Human Resources Department was obtained after she went upstairs and begged her cousin. The two of them racked their brains in the office and came up with such a bad idea, forcing everyone to comply under the pretext of department team building.

She was almost regretting her decision now, but could she ask her cousin to take back his decision?

It would be strange if her cousin didn't spray her like a sieve!

Qiao Yixun was in a dilemma and even felt absurd as if he had tricked himself.

……

At this moment, Sister Lu, who likes to watch the fun, suddenly added: "By the way...didn't the company's team-building activities in the past allow family members to come? This time should be no exception!"

When she said this, she didn't even look at Qiao Yixun, but at all her colleagues. In other words, she didn't even bother to ask for permission from Xiao Qiao, the person involved.

Everyone finally found a way to fight back against Xiao Qiao, and naturally understood what Sister Lu meant, and instantly responded.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course you can! Our company has always allowed family members to attend team-building events!"

"That's perfect. My wife said a while ago that I've been too busy to spend time with her and the kids. I can take this opportunity to take them to Hengwan Hotel for a good meal."

"Hehe, I just got a new girlfriend recently. I'll bring her along when the time comes and introduce her to everyone."

"Then I'll call my brother. He happened to be in Beijing recently and would definitely love to join in on the fun."

"Xiao Mo, my girlfriend has always liked you. When she found out that you came to our company for an internship and became my colleague, she was almost crying with envy. I'll invite her along and introduce you two to each other!"

"Oh, damn, what should I do if I don't have any family here? If it doesn't work, I'll just call my college roommate to come along. Otherwise, I'll have to make another trip on the weekend. I always feel like I'm losing out!"

"By the way, is Hengwan Hotel a pet-friendly hotel? If I go for team building, I won't have time to walk my dog ​​in the evening. How about I bring my dog ​​along as well?"

"Humph! Then I'll take my grandma with me too."

"..."

Under the verbal attack from everyone, Qiao Yixun was so stimulated that his mentality was about to collapse.

In this way, the birthday party that should have been centered on her was treated by everyone as a grand dinner where they could eat and drink for free and take advantage of the company.

As for herself, she seemed to have become an insignificant marginal person in this event, and it made little difference whether she was there or not.

Qiao Yixun was so angry, but he didn't know how to vent his anger. He was almost suffocated.

As for the culprit, Mo Li, she was blinking her beautiful eyes and asking innocently:

"Sister Xiao Qiao, why do you have that expression on your face? Isn't a birthday party a happy event? Why are you unhappy if everyone doesn't go? You seem even more unhappy if everyone goes? Ah... I see, you didn't invite everyone sincerely, did you?"

It's just tea, right? Who doesn't know how to make it?
