Reporting the gossip about the younger generation of the Luo family, Mian Lao Si couldn't help but sigh, "This generation of the Luo family is really full of romantics, so..." Unable to see the expression on the other end of the phone, Mian Lao Si tentatively asked, "So, Mr. Luo is also a romantic?"

Li Xi: “…” How would I know? We’re just a plastic couple! But why is my heart beating faster?!

"You dare to gossip about your boss? Isn't there enough work lately?"

"No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong." When it came to work and salary, Mian Lao Si quickly became timid. "How dare I gossip about you, boss? I'm just concerned about you. Mr. Luo is such an outstanding man, you have to see through him! Hehehe."

Li Xi: "Hehe."

Having had enough of gossip, Li Xi was too lazy to argue with Mian Lao Si anymore. She told him not to let his guard down even at the end of the year and to continue "paying attention" to key figures. Then she answered the phone and went to eat snacks.

You know what, the Chinese New Year is great because you can eat snacks openly and with a clear conscience without feeling guilty like you would on other days.

After eating, drinking, lying down, and occasionally playing with the little kid, time flew by and it was New Year's Eve. During this period, the Luo, Lu, Shen, and other family-owned companies that Li Xi was familiar with held their annual meetings.

Of course, Li Xi didn't attend any of them. Firstly, she was too lazy to go out or socialize, and secondly, these family businesses really had nothing to do with her. However, Lai Yaoming had invited her (or rather, ordered her, since his tone was rather condescending, as if he still treated Li Xi as the poor little girl who yearned for her father's love) and asked her to bring Luo Jingxuan to the Li Group's annual meeting.

Li Xi refused without a second thought. What a joke! Asking Luo Jingxuan to attend the Li family's annual meeting would clearly signal to everyone that something was fishy going on between the Li family and Luo Jingxuan. By then, Li Yaoming wouldn't need to explicitly point out Luo Jingxuan's relationship with Li Xi; all he needed to do was say something ambiguous, and Luo Jingxuan would be effectively chained to the Li family's side.

By then, Li Xi believed, many lackeys who couldn't get close to the Luo family would try to curry favor with the Li family, and then Li Yaoming would take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Haha, routine, it's all routine!

Would Li Xi allow Lai Yaoming's evil scheme to succeed? Obviously not. Most importantly, Li Xi was truly disgusted by Lai Yaoming and his true love, Bai Yueguang. Just looking at her was annoying. She wasn't the original Li Xi, who still had some feelings for them. There was no point wasting her time dealing with them. She'd be better off playing more games with that energy.

Li Xi didn't attend the Li family's annual meeting, nor did she attend the Luo family's or Lu family's.

Assistant Jiang had asked her if she wanted to go to Luo's. Even if she wasn't the boss's wife, she could go as Assistant Jiang's friend. Although Assistant Jiang acted like a chore-doing assistant in front of Li Xi, he held a high position within the Luo Group. Giving a friend an invitation to the company's annual meeting was no big deal.

However, Li Xi refused. It wasn't that she didn't want to give Assistant Jiang face; she was simply too lazy to leave the house. Indeed, after more than a month of inactivity, Li Xi had reached the advanced stage of laziness, and the recent intense study and stress for exams had only exacerbated her condition. As soon as the exams were over, every fiber of Li Xi's being screamed for a good rest, so she stayed indoors as long as possible.

Although Assistant Jiang told her that Luo's annual meeting was grand, with not only performances by internal employees, the company also invited celebrities to perform, sing and dance, crosstalk sketches, and even a short drama.

Li Xi still refused, even though she was very tempted.

Su Yu had also invited her to the Lu Corporation's annual party, but Li Xi thought about it and declined. This time, it wasn't because she was lazy, but because she was annoyed. Lu Corporation's annual party wasn't just for Su Yu, Lu Zifeng, Shen Zhou, and Lu Wantang; all of them were going to attend. The thought of all of them getting together gave Li Xi a headache.

It would be strange if the male and female protagonists, the second male lead, and the second female lead didn't trigger the plot! Even if the second female lead, that is, the vicious female supporting role, has jumped out of the original plot, with the male and female protagonists and the second male lead, if nothing happens, it would be a shame to the Mary Sue halo above their heads!

Li Xi recalled the content of the original novel and found that this annual meeting was indeed mentioned. However, there was no long description, only a brief mention, "The vicious female supporting role lost face at the last birthday party, so she wanted to use the exposure of this annual meeting to restore her image. She carefully prepared a dance, thinking of performing it as the finale, but before going on stage, she found that her dance dress was damaged, probably by the heroine's lackeys. But the vicious female supporting role was sure that the heroine was sabotaging it, so she found the heroine and made a big fuss. In the end, she was taken down by the hero and the second male lead (she shouted for the bodyguard to drag her away), and then the vicious female supporting role hysterically left the annual meeting stage. The heroine, under the escort of the hero and the second male lead, performed the finale of the annual meeting. It was recorded and uploaded to the Internet, and it became a small hit. Netizens called her the 'most beautiful annual meeting performer'."

Li Xi: “yue~”

Now Su Yu naturally won't prepare any "amazing" dance. What she has to do is follow her "master" and the old man, get to know the big names in the business world, accept their guidance and listen to their comments.

As for whether Lu Wantang wanted to be the finale performance or to be the "most beautiful performer at the annual meeting", Su Yu didn't care at all, and she would not make a scene or behave ugly in front of everyone.

Besides, Jing Limo will also attend Lu’s annual meeting. If Su Yu encounters any emergency, he will be there to help.

Su Yu didn't need to be rescued. If Li Xi went, she probably wouldn't have the energy to accompany her. Li Xi was not interested in watching the one-man love story between the male and female protagonists and the second male lead, so she simply didn't go.

Although Li Xiren didn't go, she still showed her care. She reminded Su Yu to be careful of the three love-brained people who were obsessed with Mary Sue plots and not to be affected by their Mary Sue plots. At the same time, she told Uncle Mo to pay attention to the situation around Su Yu at the annual meeting and not let anyone take advantage of her and cause her to get hurt.
