The visitor briefly introduced himself. His name was Gao Yi, and he was an external director of Hongsheng Electronics who took office eight months earlier than Qi Nuan.

After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked about the rumors that Qi Nuan was framed by others in the first company.

Qi Nuan couldn't tell whether this person was a friend or an enemy, so it was an impolite question. But looking at his expression and eyes, it seemed like he was asking this question sincerely, as if he was simply asking to clear up his confusion.

She didn't explain much and simply gave an ambiguous answer, saying only that rumors would not be true and lies would eventually be exposed.

Gao Yi also realized that his question was indeed rude. After apologizing, he shook hands with Qi Nuan and said to each other: Please take care of each other in the future at work.

Qi Nuan also knew that she would not be able to truly win people over during the welcome party, and it would even be difficult to find out the support positions of the directors.

She deliberately did this under Gu Hui's nose, which was somewhat tentative. If Vice Chairman Gu lost his patience and took action, it would mean that he was also not very confident about the board election.

After finishing the conversation with Director Gao Yi, Qi Nuan was about to continue walking towards her target, Director Han. At this moment, Gu Hui stepped forward and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Okay, everyone, this part is over. It's time for us to move on to the next one."

Qi Nuan's invitation only mentioned this welcome party. Confused, she asked Director Gao, who hadn't left yet, "Next party? Are there any other plans?"

Gao Yi did not give an answer, but showed an embarrassed and bitter expression. He did not answer, but turned around and walked straight in another direction. It was obvious that he was avoiding the question.

The other independent directors all moved immediately after Gu Hui issued the instruction, some happy and some reluctant. Only Qi Nuan looked bewildered, missing the opportunity to follow.

"Mr. Qi, please come with me."

Gu Hui approached her and pointed upstairs: "Don't worry, it's just a matter of taking the elevator up two floors."

Then he walked out first.

Qi Nuan had no choice but to follow.

The elevator that Gu Hui took Qi Nuan to take this time was not the one she took when she came up before, and there was no special service staff inside like the previous one.

"Why, are you afraid that I'll take you to some scary place?"

Gu Hui tapped a card in his hand and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Even though Qi Nuan was really a little timid, facing such provocation, she had no choice but to muster up the courage to follow in.

After Gu Hui swiped his card, the elevator went straight to the top floor.

The elevator door opened, the light outside was not very bright, and there was a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere.

As usual, Gu Hui walked in front. He handed his cell phone to the big guard beside him, then waved to the female guard beside him. She walked up to Qi Nuan and indicated that she needed to be searched and asked her to hand over her cell phone.

"Why do I have to hand over my phone to attend a party?" Qi Nuan was unwilling.

"Director Qi still needs to report to Young Master Lu?"

Gu Hui took Qi Nuan's phone, turned it off with a hard press, and handed it back to her, saying that he could send someone to convey the message to Lu Yin.

"No need, he knows I'm here to attend the welcome party."

Qi Nuan took the phone and put it in her handbag. She was a little curious about what Gu Hui was up to, so she didn't say anything more and continued to walk deeper into the hall with him.

After passing through two more gates, she was finally able to see the real situation on this floor.

The spacious hall, which was fully connected, was arranged into a bar. Various famous liquors were displayed on the huge bar counter behind several handsome bartenders.

The originally transparent outer glass was all blocked by heavy curtains, creating a very suitable playing space for men and women who mixed together to drink and joke.

No wonder everyone who was coming handed over their phones. Even though Qi Nuan was not a fan of celebrities, she could recognize that many of the people surrounding the directors were artists from Gu's entertainment companies, including some very well-known entertainment stars.

Of course, they are all young, beautiful and have great figures.

Vice Chairman Gu, the organizer of the party, no longer pretended to be polite with Qi Nuan. He put his arm around Qi Nuan's shoulder in a seemingly affectionate manner and pushed her towards the bar.

"My family loves drinking and having fun. From today on, Mr. Qi is also a family member. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I must not refuse and must participate in more family activities."

Qi Nuan is not a child anymore, so she naturally knows that such "family activities" are also a means for Gu Hui to win over those old guys.

She pushed down the unruly hand on her shoulder, smiled politely, and asked the bartender to replace the red wine that Gu Hui pushed to her with a low-alcohol fruit drink.

"You know, I have to stand on my husband's side. Everyone will vote for the Vice Chairman anyway, so you don't mind missing my vote, right?"

Gu Hui laughed and expressed his appreciation for Qi Nuan's honesty. He took off his tie, leaned casually into the seat in front of the bar, and drank the glass of red wine that she had refused.

Then, he took the fruit drink prepared for Qi Nuan and took a sip before pushing it in front of her.

"Drink it. I've tested the poison for you. Don't worry."

Qi Nuan felt quite disgusted, but after all, they were on someone else's territory, so she didn't give him too much face. She turned to the other side of the cup and took a sip. The alcohol content of the fruit drink should not be high, and she couldn't even taste the alcohol.

Gu Hui didn't seem to care about her behavior and drank three or four cups proudly.

Soon, Qi Nuan knew why he didn't care.

Those independent directors who were Gu Hui's die-hard supporters actually brought a group of people, each holding a bottle of wine to clink glasses with Qi Nuan.

Even though Qi Nuan declined many times, he was still forced to drink a lot of wine.
