Chapter 239: Annual Meeting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the endless nights wore on, Lu Zhao’s heart filled with longing for his lost love, torn away by coercion. What he didn’t know was that destiny had planned a touching reunion for them.
The plane carrying Luo Ying landed in Lan City on the first of this month, amidst the city’s fiery red morning glow.
Fearing that Luo Yings fans would cause a traffic jam, Chi Tong personally drove a nanny van to the airport to pick her up.
On the other hand, Luo Ying was a seasoned traveler. She nearly forgot her mask and sunglasses.
Fortunately, Chi Tongs fears were unfounded. Chi Tong breathed a sigh of relief after smoothly exiting the airport highway.
“You don’t need to be concerned.” Luo Ying found it amusing. “I’ve been gone for six months. Perhaps I’m no longer relevant in the entertainment industry.”
“No way.” Chi Tong retorted, “A lot of fans are waiting for you to come back. Besides, Dancing Shoes and Summer is about to be released. It’ll definitely be a big deal.”
“That’s true.” Luo Ying nodded. She still had faith in the quality of Dancing Shoes and Summer. “However, the release date of the film is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Before it’s released, please get me more assignments. I need to stav in the algorithm.”
“No problem. During the half-year you were away, I got my hands on a lot of invitations and scripts.” Chi Tong agreed.
“Speaking of which,” he paused, “I recently received an invitation to an annual party.”
“Hmm? Which company’s annual meeting?” Luo Ying raised her brows. The last time she attended a company’s annual meeting, it was Lin Su e s. It had not been a pleasant experience.
“It’s from the Luya Group.” Chi Tong quickly finished his sentence and nervously observed Luo Yings expression through the rearview mirror.
When the invitation was sent to the studio, Chi Tong had been taken aback. Their studio did have Lu Zhao’s investment, but it was insignificant in the grand scale of things. Logically speaking, they had no right to attend the Luya headquarters’ annual meeting. At most, they may receive a live feed through the internet.
However, Luo Ying and Lu Zhao had such a special relationship… Chi Tong knew that something was up.
“It’s the Luya Group …” There was a moment of shock and disbelief on Luo
Yings face.
She had not expected it to be the Luya Group’s annual meeting.
Will Lu Zhao also take part? This was the first thing that came to Luo Yings mind.
She had imagined all sorts of scenarios for meeting Lu Zhao after returning to the country, but she had not expected the opportunity to meet him to come so quickly and unexpectedly.
“Do we take this, Boss?” Chi Tong probed.
In fact, he had made numerous plans in the previous two days. If Luo Ying did not want to go, he was confident that it would not change anything.
“Let’s go,” Luo Ying said warmly, “after all, it’s the headquarters’ annual meeting. The Luya Group and Lin Su’s company work very differently. We’re going to prepare a low-key makeup.”
“Okay,” Chi Tong replied, “A few independent design brands have contacted us, such as…
Chi Tong breezed through the other matters and quickly listed out a few plans for Luo Ying. Luo Ying chose a few and planned to look at the clothes in two days before deciding.
The annual party was quickly approaching. Chi Tong arrived in the afternoon with a selection of dresses for Luo Ying to try on. She eventually settled on a simple red gown with a high slit.
The golden flower leaves added a touch of sophistication and sexiness to Luo Yings figure.
Other matters came up after the clothes were ordered. Chi Tong hurriedly prepared Luo Ying for the annual party.
However, in addition to Luo Ying, Chi Tong had invited a new artist to represent the studio.
The annual meeting will be held at the Luya Group’s headquarters on the 6th.
It was an annual meeting. The format varied, but the goal was always to let the employees enjoy the end of the year.
The Luya Group was no different. Even though their annual meeting was not broadcast live like those of the entertainment industry, the mood was just as upbeat. Star performances, exotic catwalks, various interaction programs, and even the performance of the executives of the subsidiary companies were all included. No one was left out.
Lu Zhao understood that he and the other top executives from headquarters had to be there because of their leadership roles in the company, but that their presence posed a significant barrier to the employees’ freedom. So, whenever they went in, they tried to blend in with the crowd.
Their VIP seats were also placed in a separate corner to give the impression that no leaders were present at the annual meeting.
Therefore, it was the same this year. Lu Zhao ushered a group of high-ranking executives in through a back entrance just as the annual meeting was about to begin.
But even before he arrived at the VIP seats at the annual meeting this year, Lu Zhao could sense the unusual attention. Employees near the VIP seats appeared to be casting sidelong glances at Lu Zhao at the same time. “What happened?” Lu Zhao asked the secretary beside him in hushed tones after settling into the main seat..
