On the 15th, Ke Shurong hired a stylist to do her daughter's hair and makeup again. Only after the makeup was done did she realize that she hadn't looked her best in a long time.
But they should earn that money! After finishing her makeup, Xia Wenxi wanted to kiss herself when she looked in the mirror.
Over the course of the year, Xia Wenxi felt that she had changed quite a bit since she first arrived, and the biggest change seemed to be her weight.
She has indeed gained some weight, but the amount is still quite reasonable; her figure looks much more defined now than it did a few months ago.
The original owner was probably too busy being a troublemaker to eat properly, so she was very thin.
Now when she looks in the mirror, she always feels like she has been living here all along, as if the years she missed never existed, or as if it were a dream she was having.
Xia Wenxi hasn't dreamed about the past for a long time. Perhaps it's because that little girl not only found herself but also returned to her parents' side. She has no regrets, so she doesn't need to recall the past. Every day in the future will be a new and beautiful one.
Xia Wenxi smiled at herself in the mirror, then took out her phone and took a selfie. She originally intended to send it to Lin Shen, but stopped when she opened WeChat.
If I show it to him now, there won't be any surprise. I'd rather show it tonight.
Today, her dress was a dusty pink satin halter dress that hugged her figure perfectly. The dress was fitted at the waist but had pleats around her lower abdomen, which cleverly concealed any tummy fat, a style that accentuated her strengths and minimized her weaknesses.
Xia Wenxi's previous dresses were mostly girlish, but this time it's a completely different style. Her hair hasn't been cut short in a long time, and this time it's permed and draped down her back.
The only downside to this dress is that it requires wearing high heels, and even after all this time, Xia Wenxi's skill in wearing high heels hasn't improved much...
Ke Shurong advised her daughter, "Mom will help you, and when we get there, you can find a place to sit down."
Xia Wenxi nodded. Since she was already there, she might as well act aloof and elegant. As long as she just stood there and didn't move, it wouldn't be a big problem.
As they entered, Xia Wenxi kept a straight face and held onto her mother's arm, trying her best not to make her steps look strange.
The annual meeting had not yet officially started. The employees were chatting in twos and threes. When the senior executives and employees of Hengyuan saw that the old chairman Xia Hengyuan had arrived, they all went up to greet him.
Some of Hengyuan's employees would take a second look at Xia Wenxi out of curiosity, since they had almost never seen her before, only heard of her name.
Xia Wensheng and Ming Huan arrived a little earlier and came over when they saw them.
Xia Wenxi's eyes lit up when she saw Ming Huan wearing a smoky blue strapless dress and with long, straight black hair reaching her waist.
In short, Xia Wensheng is a lucky guy!
"Minghuan, you look so beautiful today! This dress suits you perfectly; you look so gentle and make me want to get closer!"
Xia Wenxi's words weren't enough; she actually stepped forward and took Minghuan's hand.
Of course, Minghuan was also very happy. Who wouldn't be happy to hear such praise? They were clearly siblings, but Wenxi was far superior to Xia Wensheng, who could only say the word "pretty."
"Wenxi looks so beautiful today. She looks like a grown woman now. Her style is different from before, but it suits her very well."
Ke Shurong grabbed one of them by the hand, laughing happily, "You're both so beautiful! I'm so lucky to have two such beautiful daughters. Huanhuan, don't be shy, you're just like Wenxi now, you're my daughter too."
Xia Wensheng turned around after speaking to someone and heard this sentence.
"What happened? Now I'm a live-in son-in-law?"
His words made everyone laugh.
As the annual meeting began, everyone took their seats. Xia Wensheng was about to go on stage to speak. This was the first time Xia Wensheng had addressed the annual meeting as the chairman of Hengyuan.
Xia Wenxi whispered to Ming Huan, "My brother looks quite like a chairman."
Ming Huan smiled and nodded, but her eyes never left Xia Wensheng.
The Xia Wensheng in front of her was gentle, humorous, and even a bit quirky at times. They were both busy with work, so she didn't see Xia Wensheng working very often.
She does have a very good boyfriend, Minghuan thought.
After the speech, there were lively performances and a lucky draw. Xia Wenxi planned to leave after the lucky draw.
Although the lottery had nothing to do with her, watching others draw blind boxes was still a kind of fun.
For example, when an employee won a 10-day trip for two to Europe, everyone present looked at her with envy.
Not only does the company cover all travel expenses, including airfare and accommodation, but importantly, you can go on weekdays!
Who wouldn't be envious!
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but say, "The company's benefits are pretty good."
Hearing this, Xia Hengyuan chuckled and joked with her, "So, after Xiaobao graduates, does he want to work at the company? If he works there, he can go up and participate in the lottery."
"Then let's not. Benefits should be given to employees."
Xia Wensheng bluntly exposed him, saying, "You just don't want to go to work, that's why you're saying these things."
After saying that, she even tried to coax Minghuan, "I work for all four of us in my family by myself, Huanhuan."
Seeing their son like this, Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan both looked away, unable to bear to look closely.
Xia Wenxi took the opportunity to get up and say that she had to leave because she had to go to the second annual meeting.
"Mom and Dad, you don't need to wait for me tonight."
Xia Wenxi blinked, her meaning quite clear.
Ke Shurong looked at her with a smile, "Go ahead, I used to worry that you wouldn't go out, but now that you're in a relationship, I don't need to tell you, you'll go out."
Xia Wenxi chuckled, greeted everyone, and then turned and left.
When they arrived outside the banquet hall, they saw an acquaintance.
"Assistant Feng, you're here! I was wondering why I hadn't seen you today."
Xia Wenxi saw Feng Yue, and there was a woman beside him. Unlike the other girls present, she wasn't wearing a formal dress; she was wearing a smart suit.
What a cool older sister!
"Hello, Miss Xia, this is my wife, Yang Jinwen."
The two greeted each other and shook hands. Xia Wenxi said to them, "You two should go in quickly. The first round of the lottery has ended. If you go now, you might still be able to catch another round."
After saying that, he waved and continued walking out.
A fifteen-minute drive brought us to the hotel where the Lin Group's annual meeting was being held.
She sat in the car, sent a message to Lin Shen, and waited for him to pick her up.
She didn't have to wait long before Lin Shen came out. Seeing the amazement in his eyes, Xia Wenxi was very satisfied.
When Xia Wenxi got out of the car, she was still wearing a coat. She took it off after entering the lobby.
Lin Shen was supposed to take her coat and hand it to the staff, but when he saw her skirt, he forgot to do so and was only able to hand it over after Xia Wenxi reminded him.
So Xia Wenxi teased him, "Are you stunned?"
