When they arrived at the hotel, the banquet hall was already set up. Many shareholders, their wives, and senior executives had already arrived. When they saw Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing coming over, they hurried over to chat.
Yun Xu, who came along, also had to socialize with these people. After all, they were from a big family in the capital. If he got to know them now, what if they might come in handy in the future?
Xie Jing accompanied Zhou Jiyun on a round of socializing, finding something to eat in between. Seeing the two of them eating, naturally no one would be so tactless as to approach them, which gave them a moment's respite.
Zhou Jiyun felt a little guilty: "Every time I have this kind of social event, I always feel that you are particularly tired."
Xie Jing laughed: "You have your responsibilities, I bear mine, and I am willing to work hard, as long as you don't expect others to help me share the hardship."
Zhou Jiyun had a strong desire to survive: "No, I'm sorry to have to endure all the hard work."
Yun Xu raised an eyebrow, thinking that his sister was really amazing, she had the other person under her control without even realizing it. He had learned something new. Speaking of Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing, how come they were so good at dating?
The half-year meeting officially began at 7 o'clock. In addition to eating and drinking, the guests watched the performances on the stage. Before the annual meeting began, Mr. Zhou also arrived at the hotel.
Perhaps because of his illness, Mr. Zhou looked thinner. The wrinkles on his face were deeper than before, and he looked more rigid and serious.
Seeing Zhou Jiyun, he just curled his lips and did not embarrass Zhou Jiyun in public. Zhou Jiyun did not care. He and the old house had already torn their faces apart, so it was good enough to be like this.
At least they can still eat at the same table, which Zhou Jiyun didn’t dare to think about before.
Xie Jing patted Zhou Jiyun's arm and took the initiative to chat with Mr. Zhou about his recent situation. She mainly asked about the old man's health and that Zhou Jiyun had fallen ill recently, so why didn't he go back to the old house to see him earlier?
Old Master Zhou naturally knew the reason why Zhou Jiyun was sick. He glanced at Zhou Jiyun's face and said, "How can he look sick? He looks so vigorous and energetic."
Xie Jing hurriedly explained, "He's just stubborn and trying to hold on. Grandpa, how's your health lately?"
Mr. Zhou snorted, "You're not calling me Mr. Zhou anymore?"
"I was wrong before, Grandpa, please don't be angry with me." Xie Jing was not someone who could not bend down, and she spoke nicely without hesitation: "Everyone has a bias, and I am definitely biased towards Jiyun. I made you angry, so please don't bother with me."
"If I don't favor him, who else will?"
Mr. Zhou paused and said, "You speak as if I have a heart of stone. Well, go home for dinner tomorrow. Bring your two brothers with you. It's been a while since our house has been lively."
As soon as Xie Jing heard this, he knew that when Mr. Zhou was taking his anger out on Zhou Jiyun, he must have been thinking about him as well. Now he was taking the initiative to show goodwill to Zhou Jiyun.
So she just pulled Zhou Jiyun's sleeve, and Zhou Jiyun readily agreed: "Okay, we will go back on time tomorrow. We agreed to go back tomorrow."
They spoke without shying away from others, and the shareholders and their wives at the main table naturally saw it all. Seeing the atmosphere relax, a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance raised his glass first: "That's great! We're all family, how can there be any grudges?"
"Old Chairman, let me toast you first. The young couple has a good relationship, and their lives are harmonious. You will enjoy your happy days in the future."
Mr. Zhou also raised his glass, but only clinked it with the other man's. "Thank you for your kind words. I've been ill recently, so I'll just drink water instead of wine."
While Mr. Zhou was chatting and laughing with the shareholders, Zhou Jiyun held Xie Jing's hand and kneaded it repeatedly: "Thank you."
Xie Jing laughed: "What are you thanking me for? Instead of you getting angry with the old man and regretting not getting along with him, why don't I give you a way out first? It's just a matter of a few words."
Zhou Jiyun's eyes were red. No wonder he was becoming more and more obsessed with Xie Jing. Xie Jing always did things that moved him. In this world, only Xie Jing understood him best.
He blamed Mr. Zhou in his heart, but at the same time he was attached to him because the old man was really good to him. The only people he felt sorry for were his parents.
But to me, the old man was really good. And the reason why I blamed him was nothing more than complaining that he always favored the second wife and never fully supported my parents.
"You're going to perform soon. Are you sure you want to go on stage with red eyes?" Xie Jing scratched his palm. "Okay, when you're happy, you should be happy, not tearful."
Zhou Jiyun blinked, trying hard to blink away the tears: "You're right, I should be happy, now I really have no regrets."
Xie Jing smiled and picked up a piece of seafood for him: "It's good that you have no regrets. You suffered too much before."
Some pain can be expressed, but who can Zhou Jiyun tell about the pain of rebirth except himself? No wonder Xie Jing favors Zhou Jiyun. The pain that cannot be expressed is the real pain.
Zhou Jida sat to the left of Zhou Jiyun. Because he was small, no one at the table spoke to him. So he just observed everyone openly. Apart from the familiar faces he had seen before, the ones he looked at the most were Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing.
Just looking at Xie Jing, Zhou Jida couldn't help but envy Zhou Jiyun. In the past few days, he also realized that in the marriage between Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing, Xie Jing was the stronger one. She was the one who supported Zhou Jiyun to move forward.
So I really envy him, someone always firmly chooses him and unconditionally favors him...
Zhou Jida drank his juice expressionlessly. So this was what beautiful love was all about? Then what about the relationship between his mother and Zhou Zhida? It was nothing more than a naked scheme.
In the end, Lin Nan lost his life. Thinking of Lin Nan, Zhou Jida couldn't help but lower his eyelids. No matter how much Lin Nan plotted against Zhou Zhida, she was really good to him.
It was a pity that he was reborn too late and could not save Lin Nan's life. In the previous life, Lin Nan died in the hospital because he could not get timely medical treatment, and this time, he died because of Zhou Zhida.
So Zhou Zhida, he killed Lin Nan, so he will kill Zhou Zhida's most admired son, Zhou Jiwen. So second brother, are you ready to bear my revenge?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jida slowly curled up the corners of his lips. The thought of dealing with Zhou Jiwen really made his blood boil.
The performances at the annual meeting were truly spectacular, with employees showcasing their talents. There were group dance performances, crosstalk sketches, and various dance performances. The lucky draws and other activities created a lively atmosphere.
