Upon hearing that employees from the branch offices would be attending the banquet, Lin Wan became even more reluctant.

“I’m better off staying at home. I have social anxiety and can’t handle such a crowd,” she said.

Li Yanchen wished he could park the car by the roadside and persuade Lin Wan.

“Let’s discuss it when we get to the company. Did you send the location to Yang

Ruoxi? You can make her come to Chenxin first and then take her to Royal

Water Bay. I might be late today.”

“They probably haven’t left yet. Let me send her the location real quick,” said Lin Wan as she texted Yang Ruoxi the link to the office location.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Ruoxi set off from the hotel.

Tiantian sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window intently. “Xixi, this is your hometown. I want to remember everything here.”

“I didn’t get to see much yesterday. I spent the whole morning in the hotel and just glanced out of the window. Now I can finally see the scenery along the way. There are so many cypress trees and those low purple flowers… Are they violas? And that yellow one… is it wintersweet?”

This city was completely different from the northwest, where Tiantian lived.

“During this season, my hometown is usually covered in thick snow as far as the eye can see. It’s unbelievable that your hometown is full of colorful flowers and shady trees. It’s amazing!”

Yang Ruoxi had never been to Tiantian’s hometown, but she had checked the pictures. It was in the northernmost part of China, where temperatures sometimes dropped below the freezing point.

“The winter in the south is beautiful, too. It’s cold, but not to the point where you can’t go out. Besides, there are many flowers and plants. Occasionally, it snows, but it melts quickly.” In her original world, Yang Ruoxi lived in a place where the seasons were distinct, and she loved that kind of climate.

“In the afternoon, I can take you around Yun City. There are also many tourist attractions. Don’t be fooled by winter. It’s still beautiful outside.” Yang Ruoxi already had an itinerary in mind. She hadn’t explored Yun City that much before, but she knew the places that were famous for the tourists.

“Great! Will you stay with me tonight?” Tiantian smiled mischievously.

“Who else? I don’t think Wanwan is going to stay with you,” said Yang Ruoxi. Tiantian touched the fog on the car window. “Looking forward to it.”

At Chenxin headquarters, the managers of several well-known hotels in Yun City had arrived with their proposals.

Chenxin had a thousand people attending the year-end banquet this year. It was a big event.

Every manager arrived a little early and waited in the reception area. They looked at each other with disdain. It seemed like everyone had a plan in mind.

This time of the year was the most troublesome for Assistant Qin and Secretary Han. The year-end banquet was the most important event for Li Yanchen. He chose the hotel and each dish personally.

Li Yanchen said that the year-end banquet was the time when everyone could fully relax. Only during this time would all the company’s management gather together.

The company had already prepared for the year-end banquet three months in advance. No matter which hotel the venue was, singing, dancing, and music would be a part of the event.

These hotels were all well-known establishments, and the managers would visit them several times to confirm the booking. Some continuously received favor from Chenxin Corporation, while others had never been selected.

Regardless of whether they previously worked with Chenxin Corporation, the managers did not take it lightly. They knew Li Yanchen’s temper and understood that he wouldn’t make choices based on previous collaborations. It was possible for those hotels who had previously worked with Chenxin to be rejected if their proposals weren’t up to par. On the other hand, those who had never collaborated with Chenxin might just be selected this year.

Secretary Han had already prepared the proposal forms and was waiting for Li Yanchen to arrive. All the managers would have to answer the questions on the spot.

At two o’clock, Li Yanchen’s car reached the parking lot. He and Lin Wan took a moment to look in the mirror, tidy up their hair and clothes, and then they headed upstairs.

Lin Wan thought that choosing a restaurant would be as simple as the staff taking a menu and a few pictures of the rooms, and they would select whichever images they found pleasing. It seemed like a straightforward task. However, when Lin Wan reached the meeting room, she was surprised.

Ten people in uniforms sat upright. When they saw Li Yanchen, they greeted him. “Hello, Mr. Li.”

Li Yanchen exchanged greetings with everyone and sat in the main seat. He casually pulled out a chair next to him for Lin Wan to sit on, and then introduced her briefly.

Lin Wan couldn’t hide her nervousness. Her palms were sweaty.

“Hello, everyone.” Lin Wan calmed herself and greeted everyone.

The people present began to flatter her. They all knew that Lin Wan was Li Yanchen’s favorite person in the world.

“Mrs. Li truly is exceptional.”

“I watch Mrs. Li’s live broadcasts every time. Even our dessert chef learned something from her. Although I only learned the basics, my post-meal deserts have become a specialty in my home.”

“Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are a perfect match. They are both talented and beautiful. I have never seen such a well-matched couple.”

“So young and beautiful! If I didn’t know better, I would think she’s a celebrity.

Even celebrities can’t compare to Ms. Lin’s beauty.”

“She has completely changed my perception of beauty.”

Even Assistant Qin, who usually tried to flatter his boss, couldn’t bear to listen anymore. Everyone was showering Lin Wan with insincere praises. It was awkward.

But why did Li Yanchen seem to be enjoying it? He was even smiling faintly.

Lin Wan’s face darkened. If these people had praised her at a different time, she might have believed their words. However, in this situation, Lin Wan couldn’t help but feel that they were intentionally trying to please Li Yanchen by saying such things.

“Thank you, everyone. Let’s focus on the main topic. Please discuss the proposals quickly.” Lin Wan managed to squeeze out a polite smile.

“Yes, let’s get to the main topic. Mr. Li, should we distribute the proposal forms first?” Secretary Han asked.

“Well, give me the proposals. While you fill out the forms, I’ll review everyone’s proposals,” said Li Yanchen.

After collecting the proposals, Li Yanchen handed half of them to Lin Wan. The two quickly skimmed through them. After everyone filled out the survey forms, they moved on to the next step, to explain their respective proposals and emphasize this year’s highlights.

The more Lin Wan listened, the more confused she was. Wasn’t this just about choosing a hotel for the year-end banquet? Why did it feel like a bidding process? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

By the time everyone finished their explanations, it was already three o’clock. Lin Wan couldn’t remember much of the meeting.

When Li Yanchen asked for her opinion, she smiled and let him make his own decisions.

Yang Ruoxi had already arrived at the Chenxin parking lot. Luckily, Lin Wan had foreseen this and sent her a message before entering the meeting room. She had informed her friend that she might be in a meeting for the next hour or so. If she arrived, she could come straight up. The reception had already made a note of it and would guide them to the lounge where they could relax or explore the nearby area.

Yang Ruoxi did as she was told and followed the receptionist to the Chenxin lounge.

After leaving the meeting room, Lin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She used to fantasize about slacking off in a big company someday. However, after this meeting, she no longer had that wish. There were too many rules and procedures. Just attending one meeting was already giving her a headache..
