More than an hour later, the secretary came to wake Su Ziqing up.
Su Ziqing changed into the dress prepared by her secretary, a deep red off-shoulder gown. The dress was bright red but the cut was quite simple, without too much floral decoration in the front, but it just right to cover Su Ziqing's increasingly full upper body and slightly changed waist.
The skirt was neither too loose nor too tight, just right for Su Ziqing's needs.
The secretary took the earrings and helped Su Ziqing put them on. The long earrings were a perfect embellishment to her simple dress.
Once everything was ready, the secretary brought over matching shoes. "Ms. Su, I've picked out a pair of shoes with low heels for you."
After all, it's a formal dress; pairing it with flat shoes would only draw more attention and seem like an attempt to cover up the fact that it's an evening gown.
Su Ziqing nodded, put on her shoes, picked up her handbag, and prepared to go to Miss An's birthday party.
As the head of the Anhe Group, Miss An's birthday banquet could not be simply compared to that of an ordinary heiress.
To put it bluntly, a rich girl is a princess, but Miss An is now... a queen.
Even if a wealthy young lady's birthday party is a respectful affair with invitations to the elite, its impact is still limited.
Miss An's birthday party attracted many celebrities, and with more celebrities, more people from the business world attended, thus expanding her business reach.
Compared to ordinary rich girls talking about which haute couture is beautiful or which limited edition bags are gorgeous, what's more attractive is how to make money.
Yes, that's it. The moment Su Ziqing entered the shopping mall, she started to love money.
Or rather, it's not that she loves money, but that she wants to be responsible for her company and her employees.
Miss An's birthday party was held at the hotel's banquet hall, so Su Ziqing could simply go downstairs to attend.
The secretary escorted Su Ziqing to the banquet hall before leaving, reminding her that if anything happened, she could simply make a phone call.
Su Ziqing handed the invitation to the person at the entrance of the banquet hall, and then entered the banquet hall.
She arrived at a moderate time, before the banquet had even started. However, quite a few celebrities had already arrived, mostly from N City, but also some like her who had been invited from out of town.
There are some in the capital city...
Seeing several familiar faces from the capital, Su Ziqing's expression remained unchanged; she had seen these faces before at the Gong family banquet.
Their only thing in common is that they all revolve around Su Enen.
So, wouldn't this be another case of enemies meeting on a narrow road? Will they, like Su Enen, be looking for trouble out of boredom?
As it turns out, not everyone is as spoiled as Su Enen. At least when these people met Su Ziqing's gaze, they either smiled slightly or pretended to look away naturally, as if they didn't see Su Ziqing's presence.
In short, no one viewed Su Ziqing with any prejudice.
What a joke! Everyone in the capital knows that Su Ziqing has some powerful backer from who-knows-where, and she's made the Su family lose all face.
People, never fight against someone who's cheating, or you won't know how you died.
Miss An was nearly forty, but she was very well-maintained. Her short, neat hair made her look beautiful and capable. When she saw Su Ziqing, she walked towards her.
"Miss Su." Although the two had worked together before, they were both in charge of the same company and didn't meet often. Addressing her as "Miss" was more polite.
Miss Su smiled and replied, "Happy birthday, Miss An."
"Thank you, your presence is the best blessing." Miss An looked at Su Ziqing and praised, "You are so beautiful."
Pregnant women possess an indescribable maternal radiance, and Su Ziqing guessed that Miss An was referring to this, so she simply smiled and accepted the compliment, "Thank you, you look absolutely stunning today."
“I can’t compare to a young man like you.” Miss An chuckled, then suddenly beckoned a man over, “Kang Nan.”
Su Ziqing turned her head slightly and saw a handsome man walking over. "Sister An."
"Please take good care of Miss Su for me." Miss An chatted with Su Ziqing for a few more minutes before apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, there are too many guests today, and I haven't been able to entertain them properly."
"Miss An, you're too kind. Please go ahead with your work." She's the birthday girl, so we definitely need to take good care of the guests today.
"Miss Su, what would you like to drink?" The handsome man called Kang Nan smiled at Su Ziqing.
"No, thank you." She was pregnant and tried to avoid drinking anything from outside to avoid any complications.
"How's the red wine?" Kang Nan had already brought over two glasses of red wine from the waiter who was passing by, and handed one to Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing politely accepted the drink but didn't take a sip.
"I've long admired Miss Su's reputation." Seeing that Su Ziqing didn't seem interested in chatting, Kang Nan quickly and tactfully introduced himself first.
Hearing him mention the company's name, Su Ziqing simply smiled politely and said, "Nice to meet you." None of the people attending tonight were ordinary people, so it was perfectly normal for someone to be the company president.
As for his claims of having heard so much about you, don't believe such empty words.
She probably isn't very well-known outside, right?
After offering a polite smile, Su Ziqing did not want to have a deep conversation with Mr. Kang Nan. She attended this birthday party for two reasons: firstly, because she shared similar interests with Miss An and wanted to celebrate her birthday; and secondly, because she wanted to see how a woman who had also overcome numerous obstacles to become the head of a group managed to carve out a niche for herself in a male-dominated business world.
Of course, another reason is to try to hear some useful business information or to connect with potential partners in the group company.
In short, every time she attends a business event now, it's no longer just a simple attendance.
She is not Su Ziqing; she is Su Ziqing of the Su Group.
However, Mr. Conan talked on and on, almost venturing into the topic of movies.
Investing in movies?
Su Ziqing continued to politely decline with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm not considering cross-industry investments."
Kang Nan flashed what he thought was a very handsome smile. "The entertainment industry has always been a sector that attracts investment from various resources. Miss Su is relatively new to the business world and may not be aware of the profits in this industry..."
No, she knew.
But she knows the inner circle of this industry better, and she hasn't yet entered its deep waters.
Are you kidding me? She doesn't know? Her best friend is Luo Ziqi.
Every industry has its dark side and its own shady dealings. She didn't mean to look down on any particular celebrity in the entertainment industry; she simply disliked it.
Not to mention, last time she signed an endorsement deal with Su Enen, she encountered obstacles. Now that she wants to enter the entertainment industry and produce a movie, if it gets stuck and can't be released, who can she complain to?
"Thank you, but money can't be earned forever. I really have no interest in the entertainment industry right now." Ugh, how did this guy even become CEO? Can't he read people's expressions?
