不过事已至此，也过去好几年了，陈凯现在都不知是什么情况，李莉再怎么私下里咒骂他也无济于事。

很多事情经历过了，纵然是时光也无法抹去，那些痕迹到底是留在了潘宁心里，成了她的一道疤，时时提醒她过去的一切。

简书之所以宁愿签下一系列不平凡条约，也要潘宁和她一同参加联谊会，难道就真的只是想要个人陪吗？

She is not a child anymore. If she is not interested in the social gathering, the worst that can happen is that she can just find a secluded place to stay. If someone comes up to her, she can just refuse and then find a chance to leave, right?

Anyway, Sister Liu and the others just asked her to attend, not to find a partner. As long as she went in and signed in, who would know what she did specifically? They couldn't enter.

The reason why he asked Pan Ning to participate was to let her slowly untie her knot. Jianshu didn't expect her to find a partner this time, he just wanted her to take the first step.

After the first time, there will be a second time. Slowly boiling the frog in warm water will make her get used to it sooner or later. Then being your partner will be a natural and logical thing.

Along the way, the three of them were thinking about their own things and didn't speak.

After parking the bicycles, the three of them walked to the auditorium.

"Okay, we're here." Li Li broke the silence and pointed to the building in front.

"Okay, then we'll go in. Lily, you should go back early too. Lele is still at home." Pan Ning said.

Li Li said, "Then I'll be leaving first. Lao Qi and I will come and wait for you later. The social gathering will definitely be over late, so we'll take you back then."

It was too late, and Li Li was a little worried about them going back alone.

"You don't have to go back and forth, I can just send Ningning back. Are you still not confident in my skills? To put it bluntly, if something really happens, Qi Jianan may not be as useful as me." There are children at home, and Jianshu doesn't want the couple to go through so much trouble.

Of course, she was not being overconfident. Her martial arts training every day for the past two years was not in vain. Apart from anything else, she had no problem protecting herself.

After hearing Jian Shu's words, Li Li also remembered Jian Shu's fighting power. She touched her head and said with a wry smile, "Look at me, I completely forgot about this. It seems that even if Lao Qi came, it would be of no use."

"You are just worried out of concern. We know what you mean, and there is no need to be polite between us. It's getting late, you should go back first. The child is still young and can't leave you." Pan Ning said.

"Okay, then I'll be leaving first. Be careful on the road. Goodbye." Li Li said goodbye to the two of them and turned to leave.

Jianshu Pan Ning also walked towards the auditorium.

There was a banner hung at the entrance of the auditorium today. It seems that hanging a banner for every event has become a tradition. Even after decades, in future generations, banners are still indispensable for any event, big or small.

The door of the auditorium was closed, but the sound insulation of buildings of this era was just so-so, and now you could clearly hear the noisy sounds coming from inside through the door.

The two of them didn't arrive early, so there were already quite a few people inside.

There was a sign-in area at the door, and there was someone guarding it. The two of them walked over to sign in first.

There was no sign-in session at the social gatherings in the past.

However, in every era, there are always people who are urged by their family and relatives to go on blind dates. Now, even the leaders of the company are worried about the major life events of their employees.

For those unmarried young people, various activities are held to give single men and women a chance to get to know each other.

However, there are always people who cannot escape at every event. Over time, leaders have come up with a new trick: signing in.

Later, every time such an event was held, all participants had to sign in so that it was clear who was present and who was absent.

As an employee, you definitely don’t want your leader to remember you for such a reason, so you can only participate in the event.

As for whether doing this all the time is a bit cliché, it doesn't matter if it's old-fashioned, as long as it works. In a few years, won't we still have to sign in at boring meetings? Even classes have a sign-in process.

Sign-in is also required for this event, not only to check who is absent, but also to verify identity.

After all, the participants of this social gathering are all excellent, unlike the mixed crowds in the past, and many people hope to participate.

If everyone stood guard at the door, wouldn't everyone be allowed in? Wouldn't the previous inspection be meaningless?

In order to prevent anyone from entering, everyone must prove their identity before entering. Here is a list of participants, just check it.

Jianshu and Pan Ning took out their work IDs, checked them carefully, signed and registered, and after completing a series of procedures, they walked towards the auditorium door.
