Ni Sitian paused for a moment, then picked up the car keys with both hands and handed them to the winning employee.
The female employee happily accepted it, hugged her again, and then stepped off the stage.
Xu Tingchuan looked at Ni Sitian, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't feel sorry for her."
Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze and glared at him. The first prize was a car, and she hadn't even known that!
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and gently supported her waist.
Ni Sitian and several directors then stepped down from the stage.
Lin Yi'an watched as Ni Sitian kept smiling, and the smile on her lips grew brighter and brighter. She wondered if Ni Sitian would still be able to smile later.
Xu Tingchuan calmly delivered a speech on stage about the company's revenue over the past year and the goals to be achieved in the coming year.
Ni Sitian watched with a bit of infatuation. Most people would be quite emotional during such a speech, but Xu Tingchuan's calm and composed delivery was even more powerful, as if all goals could be achieved under his leadership.
As the speech drew to a close, the waitress seized the opportunity to bring over the tray.
Lin Yi'an turned around nervously and saw that the waitress was walking towards them. His heart jumped into his throat, and his face was full of ecstatic joy at the prospect of success.
But suddenly an arm reached for the waitress's tray and took the glass of champagne away.
Lin Yi'an thought she had been discovered and opened her eyes wide in horror. Following the arm, she saw Shen Muzhi dressed in black. She was so nervous that she almost suffocated. Could it be that Shen Muzhi saw her when she was drugging him?
Just as Lin Yi'an's face turned pale, she saw Shen Muzhi, without the slightest hesitation, raise the glass of champagne and drink it down. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; his drinking it meant it was unintentional, and he didn't know what she had done.
But since Shen Muzhi had already drunk the wine, her chance tonight was probably gone. She clenched her fists in resentment.
"Uh." The champagne the waitress was about to serve Xu Tingchuan was half-drunk by someone else, so she had to take another glass from the champagne tower and serve it to him.
Xu Tingchuan picked up his wine glass and raised it to toast all the employees who had worked hard all year.
Inside the banquet hall, everyone raised their glasses to drink. Ni Sitian also took several sips, then grinned foolishly at Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan came down, walked to her side, and seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, asked helplessly, "How much did you secretly drink again?"
"A little bit, this is so delicious." Ni Sitian smiled happily, her eyes narrowed.
Xu Tingchuan found her appearance extremely cute and pinched her cheek.
Lin Yi'an looked at them, extremely unwilling. She had mustered so much courage tonight, and if it ended like this, she didn't know if she would ever have the courage again.
Even without that medicine, she wanted to give it a try. With her charm, she didn't believe she would lose so completely to a little girl.
After biting her lip and making up her mind, Lin Yi'an continued to carry out the plan she had initially envisioned. She put down her wine glass and walked towards Xu Tingchuan.
As Xu Tingchuan was talking to Ni Sitian, Lin Yi'an came up behind him and whispered in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "President Xu, Factory Director Wang called. Something happened at the electronics factory."
When Xu Tingchuan heard that it was an electronics factory again, he frowned slightly. Fearing that Ni Sitian would worry, he simply said to her, "I'm going out to make a phone call."
Ni Sitian smiled and nodded, "Then come back soon."
Xu Tingchuan patted Ni Sitian's head and walked outside. Because the banquet was coming to an end and there were many people making noise in the corridor, it was not convenient to talk business.
"Mr. Xu, there's a lounge over here." Lin Yi'an opened the door.
Xu Tingchuan went in first, raising his hand slightly to signal Lin Yi'an to bring her phone.
