Rumor has it that Young Master Lu, who avoids women, actively sought out Qi Nuan, who was facing financial difficulties, and signed a marriage contract.
She thought this marriage was merely h...
"Don't like it? Or does it not fit?"
Lu Yin asked the question in a natural tone, as if he really didn't understand what she meant.
"No." Qi Nuan sighed softly, "I'm just a small employee now. It's not appropriate for me to appear at the celebration in such a high-end and expensive dress."
"Do you think the celebration is only for Lu's employees? The real protagonists are the Lu family, as well as the aristocratic families and partners who are on good terms with the Lu family."
The voice on the other end was low: "You and I got married, and it concerns my reputation. If I say it's suitable, you just wear it."
When Qi Nuan wanted to say a few more words, she found that the phone had been hung up.
I was trying to find a way out, but now it's even worse.
She stared at the dress in front of her that completely suited her aesthetic taste and hesitated for five seconds, and finally tried it on with gritted teeth.
When she returned to the company, Qi Nuan found that her guilt about being late was completely unnecessary.
The entire YuRan era was immersed in the enthusiastic preparations before the group's centenary celebration.
Only senior managers who have received invitations can enter the event at the group headquarters, and most ordinary employees have to attend the celebration at various company branches.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before the event started. The president summoned several managers from Yu Ran Times and went to the celebration venue: the first floor lobby of the hotel owned by the Lu family.
Hao Lili was very happy because the "witch" from the second department was not among the invited guests.
And in their management team, there are only two women, her and Qi Nuan.
Naturally, the two of them could make full use of the women's dressing room allocated to their company for exclusive use.
"Wow! Nuannuan, you look so perfect in this dress!"
If Hao Lili hadn't just finished putting on makeup, she would have hugged the person and kissed him to soak in his beauty.
Qi Nuan was used to her exaggeration: "You are also very beautiful. You can't tell that you are the mother of an eight-year-old child. Be careful not to hook up with those young handsome guys in Tiansheng Entertainment and make your Pei Shao jealous."
"Oh my god, you're such a sweet talker." Hao Lili grinned. "As a married man, I can only watch from the sidelines. But if you really want to do it, with your figure, I guarantee that our big boss will go home with you, body and soul."
"Hehehe" Qi Nuan smiled three times in a row.
She grabbed Hao Lili's slender neck and said, "Still pretending! I saw Sister Zhao Ying a few days ago, and she told me everything. Tell me the truth now. Have you known about my relationship with Lu Yin for a long time?"
"Hey, hey, hey, sister Nuannuan, spare me!"
Hao Lili begged for mercy, but her hands were tickling Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan was amused by her: "Who is your sister? You only know how to lie to me."
"Even Zhao Ying has to call me sister-in-law. She's your sister, so I have to call her sister too."
Hao Lili smiled and said, "But I just found out. I pushed you before because I thought you and Mr. Lu were a perfect match, talented and beautiful. If your sister doesn't live up to her expectations, I have to push her harder."
The two laughed and joked for a while, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Hao Lili was standing there, so she took the initiative to open the door.
The person who came in was a bit unexpected. It was the secretary that Qi Nuan had met outside Lu Yin's office two days ago.
"Hello, Manager Hao."
He first greeted Hao Lili who opened the door, then walked in and came in front of Qi Nuan.
"Miss Qi, this is a gift from President Lu. Please accept it."
Qi Nuan looked at the jewelry box presented to her but didn't take it. Instead, she asked, "We have the same position. Why is she Manager Hao, but when she comes to me, she becomes Miss Qi?"
The male secretary probably didn't expect to be picked on like this.
He was stunned for a moment and then bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, Manager Qi, I was just relaying what Mr. Lu said earlier. I hope you can forgive me if that offends me."
Hao Lili found it funny and came over to try to mediate.
Qi Nuan had the experience from the previous time, so she had no right to refuse the gift from Lu Yin.
Besides, she wasn't really angry, so she took the jewelry box and thanked Secretary Zheng.
After sending the person away, Hao Lili was curious about what kind of jewelry Boss Lu would give to her little sister, and urged her to open the box.
Qi Nuan unpacked the package layer by layer, revealing the items inside, and was stunned.
Breguet Heritage Series 7035, with a greeting card written by her before consignment placed underneath.
This was the last birthday gift her mother gave her. It was the watch she had previously sent to a pawn shop to be auctioned off due to financial difficulties.
She took out the watch and rubbed it gently. The familiar touch made her eyes sore.
"Oh, it's a beautiful day, why are you crying when you receive such a beautiful gift?"
Hao Lili was afraid that her eye makeup would be smudged, so she quickly took a tissue to wipe the corners of her eyes.
Qi Nuan quickly wiped away the mist in her eyes and smiled again. She happily put the watch on her wrist and said, "Let's go to the celebration!"
It is a remarkable thing for a company to survive for a hundred years and even grow stronger.
The hotel lobby is decorated magnificently and sparklingly.
It was a big place, and it happened to be a Friday, so the guests and employees who received the invitation letters arrived early.
Given the low-key nature of her husband's family's profession, Hao Lili, a fan, usually only shouts out to them in private and rarely goes to crowded places to join in the fun.
Today is such an important occasion, and many media have been invited to observe and report. Lu's entertainment company will definitely send its artists to warm up the atmosphere and increase the popularity.
Men and women dressed in their best entered the venue one after another. In order to allow the media to take photos, the artists would stop from time to time to pose beautifully.
“It feels like walking on the red carpet!”
Hao Lili forced Qi Nuan to stand with her in the corner of the lobby and admired the handsome men and beautiful women for more than half an hour.
Qi Nuan was born into a wealthy family and was a beauty herself. She was accustomed to beautiful appearances since childhood, so naturally she had little interest in the glamorous cast and crew under Tiansheng Entertainment.
To kill time, she took a good look around the venue.
The original structure of the hotel building was that the first and second floors were used as service halls, leaving a lot of space.
For this celebration, the hotel staff cleared the venue in advance and built a "fountain waterfall" in the lobby right in the middle of the corridor entrance.
Layers of wine glasses are stacked into a tower. At the highest point, champagne flows out like a fountain. After filling the glasses, it continues to flow downwards, forming a waterfall, and converges into a lake in the pool at the bottom.
Warm lights shine down, casting all kinds of fantastic colors on the Champagne Tower and Champagne Lake.
Many of the guests who came in were attracted and took photos in front of the fountain waterfall.
Seeing that her favorite star was among them, Hao Lili immediately pulled people and rushed forward.
Qi Nuan was already very eye-catching in the dress Lu Yin gave her. She quickly refused to take a photo and reduced the attention. She just took Hao Lili's phone and stood aside to help her take the photo.
"Oh, look who this is!" A sweet female voice sounded from behind her.
Having heard the same lines countless times, Qi Nuan knew who was speaking even without turning around.
She pressed the shutter button, signaling Hao Lili and the star beside her that it was enough, then slowly turned around.
