Earth, Lanfang Yayuan Villa District, 11:36 PM.

"Still need to dress formally? Perfect, your mom bought me a really smart Zhongshan suit the other day, I can wear that—"

The sprightly old man, Mr. Liu, chuckled and looked at the invitation again and again:

“Oh my, my granddaughter is really capable, very capable. Look, she can now host such a high-class banquet on her own. When you burn paper money for your maternal grandmother this year, you must tell her that Da Mi has made something of herself.”

A food fair?

Liu Hongmei, standing to the side, was puzzled. She stared at the invitation card, turning it over and over as if trying to find something interesting. But it was just an ordinary gold and red paper invitation card, and Xu Milu had not attached any magic or spells to it.

—In each of the invitations sent to others, a phoenix feather was attached as a marker. If Lavinia, the owner of the feather, knew that these top-tier magical materials, which were fiercely sought after in other planes, were being used by Xu Milu to make invitations, she would probably be furious.

Xiaoqi logged on quietly, her tone full of admiration:

[Host, I must say, using the burning of Lavinia's feather as a medium to enter the system space was quite a bold move. Perhaps in your human minds this would be called... "waste utilization"?]

"Ahem... Anyway, the half of the wing I cut off is just taking up space in the system space. I might as well pluck some phoenix feathers to use, which will save energy and improve the quality of the banquet—I can't pluck my own feathers."

Xu Milu muttered a few words under her breath, feeling a little guilty, and then turned to answer Liu Hongmei's question:

"Yes, it's called a garden party, but you can think of it as a company team building event. They gave me a family ticket, so Uncle Sun and I will drive two cars and invite Auntie's family to come along. We can all go to the resort together."

Liu Hongmei's expression showed some hesitation:

"This...is it really okay? Besides, our whole family has never attended any high-end parties before. Wouldn't it embarrass you if we went?"

"This is different from a cocktail party; it's more like an immersive scenic area. There will be hundreds, if not thousands, of invited guests. Just come in with me and have fun. I've also sent an invitation to my mentor, so we can all go together. Just think of it as a trip. You only need to worry about your outfits; I'll take care of the rest. I'll call Xiaomi later to see if he has time."

As Xu Milu spoke, she called Xu Minian, who was studying at a university in Shanghai. After receiving his college entrance examination results, Xu Minian enrolled at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and had been there for almost two months.

She had just opened WeChat when Zhang Cang called her urgently:

Hello? Is this Ms. Xu?

The voice on the other end was very low, as if they were making a phone call from inside a stairwell, and it even had a buzzing echo.

[Did you...did you receive the invitation? Are you able to contact Mr. Ren now? I see your name is Ms. Xu in the inviter section, is there...some misunderstanding?]

Wow, Zhang Cang is pretty smart.

Xu Milu glanced at Liu Hongmei, who had started picking out clothes, got up and walked to the balcony. Her voice, the magnetic tone of "Ren Honghe," rang out as she spoke:

There is no misunderstanding.

【!! The eldest, the very eldest??】

Zhang Cang on the other end of the phone suddenly started stammering, it was unclear what strange thing he was imagining again:

"It's so late, you're at Miss Xu's house? Have you already reached the point of meeting each other's parents? This invitation is so festive, could it be a wedding invitation? By the way, should I prepare a wedding gift? You're so fast!"

Next time, at least let me know in advance. I slept in the lab yesterday, and this invitation appeared there first thing this morning. None of the security cameras saw how it got there—the Chinese Academy of Sciences was so angry about this that two old men fainted! Cough cough cough cough!

Xu Milu was speechless, and she gritted her teeth to suppress the urge to beat up her subordinate.

"You're still talking so much nonsense. Did you open the invitation? Just go to Shan Hai Restaurant at the time on the invitation. Bye."

She hung up the phone decisively, stroking the invitation letter in her hand that was signed "Xu Milu," her eyes flickering slightly.

—After the lotus root figurine representing "Ren Honghe" was damaged, Xu Milu had not yet had time to recreate it, but she had a better idea, which was to reveal to the authorities that "Ren Honghe" and "Xu Milu" were originally the same person.

Even Zhang Cang noticed the signature on the invitation, so it's unlikely that the shrewd officials would have overlooked it. She didn't even need to admit it; the officials would already make the connection.

...

...

"Ugh...headache. I'm still not good at dealing with government officials. Mom, it doesn't have to be too formal. A cheongsam or a formal dress is fine. If you feel comfortable, you can wear sportswear too."

Xu Milu stretched and returned to the living room, where she saw Liu Hongmei excitedly rummaging through drawers and cabinets to put together an outfit. She even found the "Blooming Flowers and Wealth" jewelry set that Xu Milu had given her before and placed it on the coffee table. The diamonds sparkled brilliantly under the light, making it exceptionally dazzling.

"No way, Mom can't let you down. Tomorrow I'll have someone rush to order a new cheongsam, which will match the jewelry you gave me. My daughter bought me this jewelry, and when I wear it out, they'll be so envious!"

Liu Hongmei happily tidied her hair, a look of pride on her face:

"So many people said my daughter was useless before, but I'm going to show them how amazing she is now—I'll take you to buy new clothes tomorrow morning, no, no, I also need to get your hair done, get your nails done, get a beauty treatment, oh dear, seven days isn't enough, you child, why didn't you tell me half a month in advance... Alright, alright, don't stand here anymore, go to sleep and don't stay up late, you're so young and you're ruining your health, go, go, go."
