Chapter 140 Little Anran has a conscience
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after the board meeting ended, Meng Anran asked Xiao Li to send invitations to all the wealthy families in Beijing.
Tianzhen Film and Television Special Effects Production Company, a subsidiary of Ruiming, was officially established. It also happened to be the chairman’s 23rd birthday, a double celebration. A banquet will be held at the Yandu Hotel at 7 pm next Sunday.
At the same time, Meng Anran also sent private messages to all her friends in the circle, inviting them to attend.
Lu Heng also received an invitation. He looked at the electronic invitation letter that Meng Anran sent him privately, and a barely visible smile appeared on his thin lips.
My sister has grown up and is calm and mature in her handling of things. When something big happens, she can quickly think of a solution.
She is no longer the little girl who only knew how to chase after him.
The next second, Lu Yi's message came in.
[Lu Yi]: Oh, little Anran has finally developed a conscience. She actually sent me a private invitation to her birthday party. Isn’t she afraid that I will ruin her party?
Lu Heng: I was invited because I represent the Lu Group's stance. Everyone knows that while Lu Zhong is the chairman, I'm the true leader. If I attend her birthday party, it would mean the Lu Group's ban is meaningless. You were invited because her party will feature prominent figures from all walks of life. If you ruin her party, you'll ruin the reputation of the Lu family and the Lu Group. So, regardless of whether we go or not, this invitation will only benefit her.
[Lu Yi]: Wow, he is still a heartless person. You really deserve to be the one who brought him up.
[Lu Heng]: Didn’t I learn to be so conscienceless from you?
[Lu Yi]: How can I be so heartless? I'll definitely dress up for her birthday party. Isn't that a good enough conscience?
Lu Heng: It's time to go. It's also time to give Duan Xi some return gift.
…
I sent the invitation letter privately to my friends, and many of them took the opportunity to ask about Meng Anran's current situation and chatted with her for a while.
Only Liuzhi immediately made a video call.
He was so anxious that he seemed to want to get right back out of the screen.
"An Ran, I just saw the news in Beijing. It's been raining heavily here these past few days. I bought a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow. Wait for me!"
Meng Anran said with a smile: "Don't worry, just remember to come and support me on my birthday next week."
"It's a must! Regardless of why this party is being held, I can't not go just because it's your birthday!" Liu Zhi patted his chest with a righteous look and said firmly, "Wait, I'll give you a surprise gift when the time comes!"
Meng Anran chuckled, "Just don't be frightened."
Ming Jing moved closer to Liu Zhi, squeezed into the screen, and said, "An Ran, just having friends in the industry backing you up isn't enough. How about asking Zhi Zhi to arrange for some media to come over?"
The purpose of holding the banquet is to invite all of Meng Anran's connections to the scene, so that the outside world knows that with the current power of the Lu Group, Rui Ming cannot be shaken at all.
However, many of Ruiming's partners may not attend the banquet due to the Lu family's ban. If the internal scenes of the banquet are not spread through the media, the show will be in vain.
Meng Anran did have such plans. "Forget about the media. I'll have my brother do a live broadcast on Weibo in his name. Zhizhi, I'll borrow your company's equipment when the time comes."
Liu Zhi immediately made an OK gesture and said, "No problem, I'll have someone arrange it right away."
After briefly talking about the equipment requirements and the arrangements at that time, Meng Anran hung up the call and drove home.
The sports car drove into the villa garage and stopped next to the white Land Rover.
The Land Rover is Meng Rong's car. Su Wanman can't drive. Meng Yushu has a nanny car for traveling. Meng Zhen didn't buy one because she is too lazy to drive.
So at present, the Meng family only has two cars, and the garage can fit them all.
The house was bustling with activity, everyone was helping to prepare dinner and waiting for her.
"Second sister!" As soon as Meng Chenghong saw Meng Anran, he went around the handrail between the kitchen and the living room, jumped down the stairs, and pounced on her.
Meng Anran originally wanted to open her arms to hug him, but when she saw that his clothes were covered with oil stains, she immediately changed her gestures and grabbed his shoulders and paused.
"Don't hug me when I'm so dirty." With naked disgust from a mysophobic patient, she looked at her brother in front of her, "Have you grown taller again? Why do you feel taller than me?"
Last week at the playground, she was so busy telling him off for premature love that she didn't realize she was starting to look up at him slightly. His features had become sharper and more defined, and the bones in his shoulders felt much firmer when pinched. He had truly grown into a big boy.
Meng Chenghong laughed, "Second sister, isn't it good that I'm grown up? From now on, I will be the one to protect you!"
He hooked his arm around Meng Anran's shoulders and led her to the dining room, saying, "From now on, I'll wear a leather jacket and sunglasses, and walk beside you as your bodyguard. I'll be so imposing and majestic that no one will dare to bully you!"
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows, grabbed the hand hooked on her shoulder, and exerted a little force. Meng Chenghong suddenly screamed in pain.
“Ohhhhhhh!!! It hurts!!! Second sister!!”
Meng Anran chuckled and let go of him. "I didn't use any strength. Look at you yelling. You still want to protect me like this?"
Meng Chenghong put her hands on her hips and said unwillingly, "Second sister! That's not fair. You've learned Taekwondo. If I practice it myself, I'll definitely be better than you!"
Meng Yushu walked over and slapped him on the back of the head, "Stop messing with your second sister. She's been busy all day, let her rest for a while."
Meng Chenghong rubbed his head and said "oh" in grievance.
Seeing him like this was hilarious. Meng Zhen came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food and said, "Our whole family is on vacation, except your second sister, and you're still teasing her. Go change your clothes quickly, you look so dirty!"
"It's not just me who has nothing to do. Dad is still working as a laborer too." Meng Anran joked, put down her bag and went into the kitchen to wash her hands.
Su Wanman was cooking and smiled when she heard her words. "He came back early and is taking a shower in his room. He's settled all the troubles at the company and can rest for a few days. As soon as he got home, he praised your boyfriend highly and said he was honored to have the CEO's special assistant from Yunduan come to help. He kept asking when you could bring Qin Mu home for dinner."
They had been dating for more than five years, but Meng Anran only let Qin Mu meet her parents once on the day after the college entrance examination. She had never let Qin Mu come to her home.
The meaning of having dinner out and bringing someone home to meet is completely different. Su Wanman and Meng Rong are both very satisfied with Qin Mu. The two children are already 23 or 24 years old and are at the age to get married. They are looking forward to discussing the marriage between the two families together.
However, meeting the parents itself would make the parties feel that their relationship could be closer. Maybe Meng Anran was still observing Qin Mu, so they didn't dare to urge him.
"Maybe after a while."
Every time I asked, Meng Anran gave the same answer.
Previously, it was because she and Qin Mu were busy with the work of the group and really couldn't spare the time. Besides, Su Wanman and Meng Rong also had their own careers, and their schedules could not be coordinated.
Now that there is such a troublesome incident as the kidnapping, who knows what tricks that old fox Duan Xi might have up his sleeve, so there is no time to think about the issue of marriage, and there is no need to rush.
During the meal, the family rarely got together and chatted enthusiastically.
When the atmosphere was at its most lively, they were interrupted by the ringing of a phone.
