After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Naturally, Lu Ranran would not take such "dandy" words seriously.

But after hearing these few domineering "declarations", the original tense mood was relieved a lot.

After Shen Xiling finished speaking, Lu Ranran followed up with a joke.

"As you said, next year's Shen's annual meeting will be changed to a performance of Lu Ranran's screenwriting works, and each employee will be forced to write an 8,000-word review."

After she finished speaking, Lu Ranran did not receive the expected ridicule.

Instead, Shen Xiling nodded very seriously.

"It's not impossible."

"But Editor Lu, you have too few works. You need to work harder."

Just as she finished speaking, somehow, at this moment when she should have been joking, Lu Ranran felt her eyes sore and she wanted to cry.

She didn't know how to deal with such emotions.

So, I could only cover it up with more exaggerated laughter.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Shen Xiling didn't laugh and wanted to explain something further.

But at this time Xiao Li opened the door and said:

"Boss, it's almost time to speak."

Lu Ranran seized the opportunity to escape just in time.

She stood up eagerly and turned around and said:

"Then let's go."

Shen Xiling looked up at her, but ultimately did not pursue the matter any further. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bent his elbows.

"Let's go."

Lu Ranran readily put her arm around that arm.

Although she has given herself countless psychological hints.

But when the critical moment came, her heart couldn't help but tremble. Her palms clenched Shen Xiling's sleeves, and the originally smooth fabric instantly formed fine wrinkles.

Shen Xiling felt the force on his arm and quietly tightened his arm towards his body.

As if he also needed something to relieve his tension.

On the other side, Xu Yuan and others were preparing to go back home because they were stopped outside the door.

Qin Qin's face showed no expression, he just felt sorry that he had wasted the money he spent on renting clothes.

Xu Yuan was trying to get a taxi, and she was getting very angry when she saw the radar spinning on the app.

"Damn it, Lu Keke is such a cunning idiot."

"How did we offend her to make her play such a trick on us?"

In the large group at the studio, two groups were already showing photos of the interior of the banquet hall.

Obviously, they had followed Lu Keke in.

However, Lu Keke did not reply to Xu Yuan and the others' "call for help" message in the group.

Inside and outside, two different worlds created artificially.

Only those who are allowed are qualified to enter the so-called "upper class".

After listening to Xu Yuan's words, Yan Xiaoli suddenly realized...

Lu Keke and Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi's harsh demands on Lu Ranran, Lu Keke's hostility towards Lu Ranran...

He suddenly realized:

"Isn't it that Lu Keke is targeting Lu Ranran, so we are implicated?!"

Qin Qin looked at Yan Xiaoli as if he was a fool.

"You just know?"

Xu Yuan also said:

"Anyone can see that."

Yan Xiaoli was very angry:

"Why are you hiding such an important thing from me?"

"We are just a group, but we can be implicated as a whole. What if we say something wrong later?"

Qin Qin rolled his eyes.

"Are you an idiot? If Lu Keke could target him, do you think Ran Ran would be an ordinary person?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoli thought for a while and did not agree with Qin Qin's words.

"Look at the way Wu Zhi is holding Ran Ran."

"Even if she is not ordinary, at least she is not as good as Lu Keke."

"We have to be careful and try to keep a distance from Ran Ran so as not to be implicated and targeted."

Qin Qin seriously refuted:

"What you said is not right. It is obviously Lu Keke who is spoiled and arrogant. How can you shift the conflict to Ran Ran?"

Yan Xiaoli unconsciously shrank his neck, but raised his voice when speaking.

"You have the guts to target Lu Keke!"

"We ordinary people, don't we just want to protect ourselves? Who is right or wrong has nothing to do with us?"

This may sound a bit timid, but it is true.

They are all ordinary people with no background, so there is no need for them to argue about who is right or wrong in this fight between the rich and powerful.

On the surface, they could have avoided it and chosen to keep a distance from Lu Ranran, attributing all the grievances they had suffered to Lu Ranran.

In short, no one wants to be the one caught in the crossfire.

Xu Yuan was very annoyed by Yan Xiaoli's words.

"You idiot, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the roadside and see if there is an empty taxi!"

Yan Xiaoli felt aggrieved when he was suddenly scolded and couldn't help but retort.

At this moment, a polite greeting broke the tense atmosphere between the three people.

A young man in a suit and tie, dressed meticulously, came up to the three of them and asked politely:

"Excuse me, are you an employee of Wu Zhi's studio?"

The visitor announced the names of three people.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all felt guilty at the same time.

Finally, Qin Qin cleared his throat and replied calmly:

"Yes, may I ask who you are -"

Qin Qin felt that since this was the Shen family, it would be a bit strange to mention Lu Keke's name, so he left the topic blank.

The visitor did not introduce himself, just nodded as a sign of agreement, then turned around and said something to the security guard.

The security guard, who had originally had a stern voice, suddenly became kind and made a "please" gesture to the three people.

The three of them followed the staff member into the banquet hall where the annual meeting was held.

This banquet hall is very large, and the decoration is nothing special. Everywhere you look, there are large round tables filled with people.

The staff member led the three people to one of the tables in the middle and explained:

"Shen's annual meeting welcomes employees to bring their families or friends to attend, but employees are required to lead the way into the venue."

"I'm really sorry for neglecting you three."

"You three are all my wife's friends. Please make yourself comfortable and don't be restrained."

The three of them had never seen such a scene before. Yan Xiaoli nodded blankly, while Xu Yuan and Qin Qin forced a smile.

When the visitor saw that the three people had been settled, he turned and left.

Seeing this person gradually disappearing around the corner, the three of them gathered together and whispered:

"Madam? Who is Madam? Lu Keke?"

"That's right. Didn't she say she wanted to get engaged when she invited us to dinner? I think she sounded pretty arrogant!"

"She didn't speak in the group, and I thought she was ostracizing us. But where are the people from Group 2? I didn't see them."

"Oh, she's a colleague of the president's wife, maybe she's sitting in the front."

The three of them had completely forgotten

"Fuck-"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of electricity, the whole audience fell silent.

The three people in the studio also shut up, straightened up, sat in their seats, and turned to look at the podium.

A man dressed very businesslike stood on the stage.

"Hello everyone, welcome all employees, their families and friends to attend this year's Shen's annual meeting..."

After a long conversation of polite words, Xu Yuan caught a glimpse of almond cakes on the table.

I picked up a piece out of boredom.

The crispy texture and moist aroma are exactly the same as the "imitation" that Lu Ranran had given her before.

Wait, exactly the same...

Xu Yuan looked at the almond cake in her hand and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the person on the stage began to announce:

"Next, let us welcome the general manager of Shen Group, Shen Beiyu, to speak!"
