After the birthday party, the scandals about Lu Anning disappeared overnight, and were replaced by photos of the young master of the Pei family and his newlywed wife attending the mayor's wife's birthday party.
In the photo, Tang Jingyuan and Lu Anning were both blurred, but familiar faces could still recognize them at a glance. The accompanying text was full of praise for Lu Anning. No one mentioned the unpleasantness of the birthday party, but at some socialite tea parties, some people could still hear that the newly returned daughter of the Lu family had ruined the mayor's wife's birthday gift.
For a time, even Duman was isolated.
To make up for Lu Yunxi's mistake, Pei Chengyi found someone to buy the exact same Buddhist beads. However, when he went to Ciyun Temple to ask for an audience with Master Xukong, the master refused to accept his offer. Pei Chengyi tried every possible means, but was finally told that Master Xukong was traveling and his return date was unknown.
Pei Chengyi's face turned pale, but he was helpless. In the end, he could only ask other monks to help bless and consecrate the statue, and then personally delivered it to Madam Ye. Madam Ye accepted it with a smile, and the matter was over. However, some people still talked privately that the blessings and consecrations of other monks were still not as profound as Master Xukong's.
Some things are ruined and cannot be restored. As for Lu Yunxi, he also gained a reputation for being arrogant and reckless.
Lu Zhenghao was very angry, but he couldn't bear to blame his daughter. He blamed everything on Lu An Ning and planned to get revenge from Lu An Ning in an even more drastic way.
In the days that followed, the Lu family fell completely silent. With only a week left in the agreed-upon one-month deadline, Lu Anning worked tirelessly, leading the entire team to work overtime every day, checking for omissions and filling gaps, all in an effort to present the best bid at the conference and avoid making a fool of herself.
Xiang Yang saw Lu Anning's tireless efforts, and to say he wasn't shocked would be a lie. He'd been in the industry for many years and had seen many female employees, most of whom were just pretty faces, not as capable as the male employees in either physical strength or thinking. Coupled with Xiang Yang's negative experiences, he was not optimistic about Lu Anning and even felt that Tang Jingyuan had been captivated by her beauty and made such an irrational decision.
But in the past month, he had witnessed how hard Lu Anning worked. Sensing the faint expectation in his heart, Xiang Yang was shocked by his own thoughts.
She almost forgot that she had met with Lu Zhenghao privately. Lu Zhenghao was not to be feared, but he had reached a cooperation with Pei Chengyi. In Xiang Yang's eyes, the only competitor was the Pei family.
Perhaps these were Lu Anning's tricks to confuse him. He couldn't believe it!
When the meeting comes, we will naturally know whether Lu Anning is just pretending or has real skills.
The project of No. 1 Academy is of great importance, and the selection of the bidding plan is decided by a vote of all the company's senior executives in a meeting, rather than by Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang alone.
On the last day, the team members completed all the data and handed it to Lu Anning for final review. Looking at the complete plan he had worked hard for a month, Lu Anning smiled with satisfaction.
After closing his computer, Lu Anning stretched. With the bidding date approaching, Tang Jingyuan became increasingly busy, often working until midnight. Lu Anning glanced at the empty seat next to him and left.
The door to the study next door was still closed. Lu Anning stood at the doorway, hesitating for a long time, but decided not to disturb him. He drank some water and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
When Tang Jingyuan returned to the room, only a bedside lamp was on. Tang Jingyuan felt a little warm in his heart and did not wake her up.
Hopefully, she won't let herself down at the company meeting tomorrow.
The next day, Lu An Ning woke up early, full of energy and confidence. Tang Jingyuan saw through her situation but didn't say anything. Along the way, he didn't ask any questions, which made Lu An Ning feel a little puzzled.
Doesn't he care at all? Isn't he afraid of losing face in front of Xiang Yang?
When she got off the car, she looked back at Tang Jingyuan, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
A smile flashed across Tang Jingyuan's eyes: "Don't embarrass me."
Lu Anning smiled, patted his chest, and said confidently: "Just wait and see!"
It turned out that just a few simple words gave her a boost of confidence. Lu Anning ignored this strange feeling. Right now, the only thing on her mind was the bidding plan.
In the large conference room, Lu Anning represented the entire team. Looking at the room full of executives, some expectant, others disdainful, she took two deep breaths and tried to calm herself. She wasn't the first to speak, and as the meeting got down to business, Lu Anning quietly listened to the competing team's presentations.
Time passed quickly. When Xiang Yang mentioned her name, Lu Anning stood up straight and smiled slightly. Seeing the pairs of eyes looking at her, after the nervousness subsided, she smiled calmly and began her speech.
This wasn't her first experience, and she was now adept at it. Her eyes sparkled as she mentioned her proposal. After her impassioned speech, the entire conference room fell silent.
Lu Anning's heart skipped a beat and he dared not breathe.
Could it be that her plan is not good?
Unable to discern everyone's thoughts, she could only sit quietly. Next came the crucial show of hands, the voting. She was confident, but still too nervous to look up, her head bowed as she waited for the final result to be announced.
It was only a few minutes, but she felt it was as long as centuries.
The one who announced the result was Tang Jingyuan!
"After a show of hands vote by all company executives, the final bidding proposal adopted by No. 1 Academy is the one developed by Lu Anning from Project Department Group 3. Lu Anning, do a good job!"
In the center, Tang Jingyuan cast an admiring glance at Lu Anning. The final solution was even better than he had imagined; he had made the right choice.
Lu Anning only heard constant applause in the conference room and admiring looks all around him.
She did it!
Lu Anning glanced at Xiang Yang. Although he didn't say anything, his face looked better than usual.
Next, she just has to wait for the bidding.
