After a day of rest, Chen Xu came to the company full of energy, as if the fatigue of the previous half month had been swept away, resurrected with full health.

In fact, he himself had not realized that the half-year experience in the apocalypse in the Dream Realm had made him suffer a lot. Those days tempered his spirit and will, which is why he didn't feel too tired even after working overtime for half a month.

Going upstairs, he happened to meet Director He from the Personnel Department bringing four or five people over, saying they were new colleagues in their department.

All the members of the Electronic Sales Department applauded enthusiastically, almost shouting 'Long live Director Liu'.

Now there are so many things in the department that they can't finish, and no one would not welcome a few new people to share the work.

Just as he was saying this, Liu Kun came over, encouraged them a few words, and announced something, "In order to speed up the integration of new colleagues into this group and enhance the tacit understanding between everyone. After discussing with Director Luo, I decided to have a Team Building activity this week."

This time, the intensity of everyone's applause was much worse than before.

Not everyone likes to participate in Team Building activities. Like Chen Xu, he prefers to be alone, and even if he goes out to play, he doesn't want too many people.

Since joining the company, he has participated twice, both times the entire company went out together, which was not a very pleasant experience. After all, the senior management of the company are older and somewhat out of touch with young people like them. It's too formal and not down-to-earth at all.

Moreover, the weather is quite cold now, are we going to freeze outdoors? "Team Building, I wonder where we're going," Dai Zixin said with some longing, "I hope to go to a more fun place."

Chen Xu glanced at her, thinking that the department is full of young people, and Liu Kun, the oldest, is less than forty years old, and his thinking is more open. It should be more interesting.

This matter did not cause too much of a splash, and then, they were overwhelmed by endless things, and they had no time to think about these things at all.

On Wednesday, after the routine meeting in the morning, Liu Kun announced that the Team Building time was set for tomorrow, and the location was in a certain county more than 100 kilometers away from the city.

"The weather is cold now, so it's good to soak in a hot spring. Everyone can relax this time."

Chen Xu was a little surprised, and once again felt that the department covered by a big boss was indeed different. They could actually go to a hot spring. This benefit could leave the previous Advertising Department several streets behind.

Someone asked, "Director Liu, aren't you going?"

"I still have to stay at the company. This time, Director Luo will lead the team. Moreover, this Team Building activity was planned by Director Luo, and the location was also chosen by her." Liu Kun said with a smile, then announced the end of the meeting and left.

As soon as Chen Xu heard that Luo Xiyun was leading the team, he knew that this time would not be easy.

In life, Luo Xiyun would arrange the things around her in an orderly manner. The same is true at work, with very strict requirements for her subordinates. Even the slightest flaw is not allowed, and it must be perfect. In the past half month, she has tortured them to death.

Moreover, he was a little strange, why was the time set on Thursday, usually it's on the weekend, isn't it? It's really a whim.

He was somewhat disapproving in his heart.

On Thursday morning, Chen Xu arrived at the meeting place at the agreed time. Luo Xiyun directly rented a bus. After everyone arrived, they set off.

In the car, in addition to the people from their department, there were also a few people he didn't know.

Luo Xiyun introduced that these few were Team Building hosts she had specially invited. They were responsible for hosting this Team Building activity.

These people were all experts in creating atmosphere. In the more than an hour on the road, they let everyone let go of their restraint, and many people were obviously already in the mood. There was laughter all the way.

Finally, the bus stopped at a four-star hotel, and everyone got off.

Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh again that it was really good to have a generous leader. Luo Xiyun said yesterday that this Team Building would last for two days and one night.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiyun directly booked a four-star hotel for them to live in.

The room allocation was two people per room. After everyone put their luggage away, they returned downstairs to gather, and the activity officially began...

It has to be said that the few hosts were worth the money. The professionals are professional. After a few games, even Chen Xu was very involved. He actually felt that Team Building was not bad.

In the afternoon, they also played a basketball game, with their department against the host team.

The hosts were all people who exercised regularly. Although they didn't have any height advantage, their level was not comparable to these office workers. Soon, they were beaten to the ground.

Chen Xu couldn't stand it anymore. He had just established a sense of team honor, how could he watch his department be defeated miserably? Taking advantage of the fact that the other side scored a goal, and his side was about to serve, he grabbed the person who was serving and said, "Let me play for a while."

"Okay." The colleague was obviously not exercising regularly and was already a little out of breath. Hearing that he wanted to play, he agreed.

"Substitution."

Chen Xu shouted, stood on the baseline, and served the ball.

"Chen Xu, go." Dai Zixin was the first to shout when she saw him on the court.

Chen Xu waved to her and ran to the opponent's half.

When he was in high school, his only hobby was playing basketball. Of course, his level was amateur among amateurs. Now, it has been a long time since he played, and he probably can't even dribble the ball steadily.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as he can score.

Just now, when everyone was warming up, he also went over and threw a few balls, and had already found his mark.

He stood outside the three-point line, seeing that the defender was relatively far away, which was normal. On the streetball court, few people shoot three-pointers. He shouted, "Pass it to me."

The ball-handling colleague also had limited skill. Seeing the defender in front of him getting ready, he felt he couldn't break through. He didn't have much confidence in shooting from that distance either. Hearing Chen Xu's call, he passed the ball over.

Chen Xu caught the ball, took a quick aim, and shot.

Swish, a clean shot.

Next, it was his time to perform. If the other side scored a goal, he would shoot a three-pointer. After hitting three in a row, the morale on this side immediately rose. Everyone trusted him and passed the ball to him every time.

The other side also realized his threat. When he received the ball for the fourth time, the defender marked him closely.

Back in high school, he could have broken through. Now, he didn't even dare to dribble the ball, and would lose it in a matter of seconds.

In this situation, he couldn't even get into a shooting stance.

"Those three balls of yours, were they all lucky shots?" the defender couldn't help but complain. Judging from Chen Xu's reaction after receiving the ball, he was completely a newbie who couldn't even dribble well. However, sometimes things were just that strange. When a newbie got the feel, every shot went in.

"You think I won't shoot just because of this?" Chen Xu grinned, using his left shoulder to hold him off, and tossed the ball out with a big hook shot with his right hand.

With such a hook shot, the defender would have to be twenty centimeters taller to have a chance to block it. He could only watch helplessly as it flew past.

"Rebound!" he shouted. A hook shot from outside the three-point line was no different from throwing it randomly. His first reaction was to grab the rebound.

Swish.

The ball went in cleanly again.

"This works too?" The man stopped moving, dumbfounded.

For the fifth ball, the man still didn't believe it and came up close again, "I don't believe you're that lucky."

Chen Xu glanced at him and, using the same posture, threw the ball out.

Swish.

"Fifth one!" Suddenly, Dai Zixin shouted, and the others cheered as well.

The defender's mouth was slightly open, his eyes a little dazed.

Sixth ball.

The man didn't say a word and stuck close.

Another hook shot.

Swish.

"Sixth one!" This time, the colleagues shouted in unison.

"Damn, is this too weird?" The man began to doubt his life. Such a difficult shot had gone in three times in a row. How was this possible?

Next, no one cared about winning or losing anymore. Everyone wanted to know how many Chen Xu could score.

"Seventh one!"

"Eighth one!"

"Tenth one!"

Apart from the person still defending Chen Xu, the hosts looked at Chen Xu as if they were looking at a god.

"I've really had my eyes opened today," one of them murmured.
