Ma Rongbao said quickly: "Manager Su, come and sit down quickly. Your sister is Liangjie's daughter-in-law. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Su Zhibiao explained with a smile: "It was only today when I looked at the list of guests invited by the directors that I realized that you, Vice President Ma, knew Uncle Liu. I grew up under Uncle Liu's watch."

Liu Liangjie said: "Arong, didn't I tell you that my daughter-in-law and Jingze are childhood sweethearts, and her cousin also grew up playing with Jingze."

Ma Rongbao said with emotion: "This is really fate. I never thought that I met you in another province back then. Now I am old and have come to your hometown to develop my career. I also work in the same company as your daughter-in-law's cousin."

Su Zhibiao said, "Vice President Ma, Uncle Liu, can I take Tiantian over to meet some friends?"

Ma Rongbao said, "Go ahead. Tiantian's company said they've worked with us before, right? You can see which orders are suitable for their company. We know each other well and it's a pleasure to work with them. By the way, Manager Su, I haven't officially congratulated you yet. You'll be promoted to Deputy Director of Purchasing next month."

Su Tiantian didn't know this news. She looked at Su Zhibiao in surprise.

Liu Liangjie said, "Su Zhibiao, I don't care if you are Manager Su or Deputy Director Su. Anyway, you know that Tiantian is not only the treasure of your Su family, but also the treasure of our Liu family. You should take good care of her."

Su Zhibiao nodded repeatedly: "I understand. I'm not afraid of you getting angry, but I'm also afraid of your precious son getting angry, and even more afraid of your in-laws getting angry."

He took Su Tiantian's blue bag, took Su Tiantian's arm and said, "Tiantian, be careful, go this way, your friends are here too."

Su Tiantian whispered, "Congratulations, Third Brother, on your promotion."

Su Zhibiao said, "The HR department issued a notice today. The official promotion will be next month, so I didn't tell you. What's the point of being a deputy director? Sister Tiantian, you are the financial director."

Su Zhibiao took Su Tiantian to a table further back where He Yiyuan and Luo Sisi were sitting.

Looking at Su Tiantian's outfit, Luo Sisi walked up to her and whispered, "Tiantian, would you look better if you took off your coat?"

Su Zhibiao said, "It's okay. The air conditioning here is a little low. It would be nice for her to wear a coat."

He Yiyuan said: "Sister Tiantian, this dress is very beautiful. Let the necklace cover it up. Anyway, you have such a good temperament, so you look good no matter what."

Okay, her brother and boss said so, of course it's okay. In fact, they are right. They are attending the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, not a cocktail party, so they just need to dress appropriately. Su Tiantian is pregnant, so she doesn't need to be sexy to attract other people's attention.

Su Zhibiao said, "You two can chat for a while. I still have to greet other guests. Tiantian, I'll come over and take you back to Uncle Liu's table later."

Su Tiantian nodded: "Thank you, Third Brother. Can I take what Vice President Ma of your company said just now seriously?"

Before Su Tiantian arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, she asked Liu Liangjie about his relationship with Ma Rongbao. Liu Liangjie told her that he and Ma Rongbao had met over 20 years ago while working in another province. They had a good relationship back then, but they hadn't been in touch for six or seven years. He wasn't even invited to Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian's wedding.

The reason they've resumed contact is that Ma Rongbao has joined a local company. Liu Liangjie said, "When we weren't in the same social circles, we drifted apart, and there was no desire to maintain the connection. Now we're back in the same circle. The relationship is rekindled."

In other words, Liu Liangjie and Ma Rongbao's relationship is actually average. What Ma Rongbao said, "Take a look at which orders are suitable for their company. We know each other well and would like to have a pleasant cooperation," was actually a courtesy and should not be taken seriously. Of course, it is also an opportunity.

Su Zhibiao whispered in Su Tiantian's ear, "Send me a detailed report tonight about your company's information, business scope, and the products it can produce. I'll sort out the procurement plan tomorrow and ask him again. He's the new deputy general manager, responsible for purchasing and business operations. He said he found a more suitable supplier because your company couldn't sign the order this time. He's only been here a short time, and I don't have a good relationship with him."

Su Tiantian understood: "Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother. It doesn't matter whether the order is signed or not. The most important thing is that it doesn't affect your work."

Su Zhibiao said, "Okay, I know my limits."

He Yiyuan watched Su Zhibiao greet other guests and looked at Su Tiantian in confusion.

Su Tiantian smiled faintly, took out her cell phone from her bag, and said while pressing the key: "Mr. He, wait a moment and check your cell phone messages."

He Yiyuan understood.

Luo Sisi looked up and around.

A tall woman, seemingly in her thirties, wore an ice-blue evening gown with a sleek, rounded neckline studded with white pearls. Her hair was piled high, adorned with a pearl headband that shimmered softly under the light. A confident and elegant smile graced her face as she walked lightly into the banquet hall.

A woman wore a vintage cheongsam, its white silk embroidered with vivid peonies, its hem swaying gently with her steps. Her hair was permed into large waves, adding to her allure. She clutched a small silver clutch, her eyes filled with anticipation.

A woman wore a black off-the-shoulder gown, embellished with sparkling crystals, like stars in the night sky. Her hairstyle was simple and straight, with an exquisite crystal hairpin pinned to her forehead, adding a touch of agility.

Luo Sisi wore a white off-shoulder long dress with exquisite makeup. Her dress was the same as Su Tiantian's, not overly stunning, but also had its own characteristics.

He Yiyuan smiled when he saw the message from Su Tiantian. He said, "I'll ask someone to handle it immediately and send it to you later."

Seeing that Su Tiantian was no longer looking at her phone, Luo Sisi said, "Tiantian, it's very lively tonight."

Su Tiantian said, "Of course. Zhaohui Group is one of the top ten companies in the nearby cities. We have many customers and suppliers, and our annual Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival Galas are very lively. Is Manager He here?"

He Yiyuan pointed to one side, and Su Tiantian saw He Xinyu chatting and laughing with a group of people. Their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement, and they shook hands and greeted people they knew.

Luo Sisi said, "Manager He didn't bring a female companion tonight. He brought his secretary instead."

He Yiyuan said nonchalantly: "I also brought a secretary with me."

Luo Sisi was speechless, and Su Tiantian said bluntly, "Mr. He, you know Sisi didn't mean that. She meant why Manager He didn't bring any female employees from the sales department or other female companions. Also, Manager He's secretary is a man, and yours is a woman."

He Yiyuan joked, "I can follow your husband's example and hire a male secretary."

Luo Sisi said, "Yes, you can also follow Mr. Liu's example and hire Miss Jiang as your assistant. You currently have a male assistant and a female secretary, so you can definitely switch to a female assistant and a male secretary. I believe your work efficiency will not decrease."

You can't make jokes about your boss casually. If you have to, make safer jokes, such as mentioning your boss's girlfriend. Luo Sisi has been with He Yiyuan for a few months, and now she sometimes dares to make jokes about her boss.
