The annual meeting was very lively that day. All the employees of the two companies in Beijing, including some CEOs of companies with which they had done business, attended with their families. In the past, the annual meetings were not open to the public, but this year, Nan and Lu invited some of their partners to attend.

This led to many people making a lot of speculations. In the early stage, people thought it was a marriage arrangement. Later, through Guan Jian's self-written and directed drama, everyone thought that she and Lu Xun were a couple.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, employees of the two companies began to enter the venue in their gorgeous attire. Dozens of security personnel were deployed at the door, and hundreds of bodyguards were arranged throughout the banquet hall to ensure the safety of the guests.

Gu Shanzhi and Lu Xun entered the venue separately, representing two companies respectively, and sat on both sides. Gu Shanzhi still wore a mask, thinking of taking it off at the engagement ceremony.

Before the annual meeting, Gu Shanzhi, wearing a goose yellow long dress and a white shawl, entered the venue next to Nan Nan. The Gu family members also entered the venue in batches and sat in their corresponding seats.

Everyone in the Gu family dressed up to welcome today's good day.

There were rows of seats in the venue. The first row in front of the stage belonged to the Gu family and the Lu family, and the second row belonged to the Bai family and the Guan family. There was nothing wrong with the Bai family sitting in the second row, but the seat for the Guan family was arranged for him by Guan Jian. Mr. Guan thought it was the Lu family's order, and he was arrogant all the way, as if becoming in-laws with the Lu family was a foregone conclusion.

When Mrs. Lu saw the seating arrangement, she thought that the Guan family and her family had been classmates for many years, and Guan Jian had also made a lot of efforts, so it was reasonable for him to sit in the second row, so she didn't care much.

This made public opinion ferment even more intensely.

In order to make it easier for people in the back row to see the stage, Mrs. Lu also arranged countless display screens around the stage, so that no matter which row they sit in, they can clearly see the situation on the stage.

She wanted to tell everyone that Gu Shanzhi was her daughter-in-law, and she even hired a photographer to record the entire process, starting from when Gu Shanzhi and Lu Xun changed into their engagement dresses until the end. She wanted to record the entire process as a souvenir.

Lu Xun entered the venue wearing a black suit. The exquisite high-end suit made him look even more noble and handsome. From the moment he entered the venue, he attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Xun and Gu Shanzhi did not sit next to each other in the front row, because the first half was the annual meeting, led by naturally Mr. Lu and Nan Nan, who were several seats apart.

Before Lu Xun sat down, he saw Gu Shanzhi, who was wearing a mask and light yellow clothes and sitting obediently, with a bright smile on her face. From this angle, people around him mistakenly thought they were looking at Guan Jian, who was busy arranging the seats for the rest of the people behind Gu Shanzhi.

The rumor added some credibility.

Sometimes, misunderstandings arise just like this, by accident.

By the time most people had arrived, it was already close to six o'clock and it was still the same as usual. The host first gave some words of blessing, then the bosses of both sides came on stage to give speeches, then there was a lottery, and then dinner and dancing.

When it came to the lucky draw, Gu Shanzhi couldn't help herself. She had just drunk a lot of drinks because of nervousness. At this moment, she wanted to go to the bathroom. So while everyone's attention was on the lucky draw, she quietly left her seat with Bai Zhenzhu. There was an endless stream of people going up to the stage to receive and give away prizes, so few people noticed the two of them.

Nan Nan said: "Xiao Zhi, please go to the dressing room upstairs to change into your dress later. I will ask someone to go upstairs and notify you when the time is almost up."

Gu Shanzhi nodded, and Mrs. Lu also thought it was okay, so she gave the photographer a look, and the three of them quietly left together.

Everyone was very excited during the lucky draw. The big group was generous. The two companies together gave out 10 first prizes, 30 second prizes, and 60 third prizes. The rest of the people who didn't win any prizes received an exquisite souvenir.

The prizes were provided by Nan's. The first prize was a Mercedes-Benz, the second prize was a 10-day trip to Europe, and the third prize was a newly launched mobile phone worth yuan. The souvenirs were provided by Lu's, a Lu's brand thermos cup printed with L&G.

L obviously stands for Lu, and G makes people mistakenly think it means Guan, but it is actually Gu.

After receiving the prize, everyone recognized Guan Jian as the next young lady of the Lu family.

As the award ceremony was drawing to a close, Lu Xun and Zheng Fan quietly went to the dressing room upstairs.

Guan Jian, who was always paying attention to Lu Xun's movements, also found an excuse to follow Lu Xun out.

Everyone was misled by this behavior.

After going out the door, Guan Jian called out to Lu Xun in front of him: "Lu Xun, wait a moment."

When Lu Xun heard the voice, he stopped and turned around to see that it was Guan Jian. He immediately remembered that it was because of her that the little girl ignored him for three days, and his face suddenly darkened.

Zheng Fan understood immediately after seeing this, and immediately stepped forward to Lu Xun and said to Guan Jian: "Miss Guan, our boss has something else to do, so he'll leave first."

Guan Jian hurried forward in her high heels and said, "Lu Xun, can I invite you to dance at the party later? I just returned to China and don't know many people."

Lu Xun said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I don't know how to dance with you."

Guan Jian was unwilling to give up: "Is it not even possible to just dance?"

Lu Xun said: "I'm sorry, considering the relationship between our two families, I don't want to say anything too cruel to you, but I will definitely not dance with you tonight."

Guan Jian was helpless and very angry but couldn't show it, so she thought about following Lu Xun to see where he went.

He pretended to be generous and said, "Well, it seems I can only find another dance partner," and then walked in another direction.

Lu Xun felt a little puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Tonight was an important day for him and the little girl, and he was in a hurry to change clothes, so he took Zheng Fan and walked quickly to the elevator.

After they got on the elevator, Guan Jian looked at the number on the elevator display and saw that it was going upstairs, so he took another elevator and followed them up.
