The hosts of the annual meeting were a pair of twin girls, they looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were surprisingly tall, both above 1m75.
With the matching cheongsam and high heels on her feet, as well as her identical face, she immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
"Welcome to Hongye Villa to attend the company's annual meeting." Among them, a girl wearing a black cheongsam spoke first.
"This year's annual meeting is Mr. Qin's turn to be the host. Although you may come from different departments and countries, you can appear here tonight. There is no doubt that you have made outstanding contributions to the company in the past year.
.
"The healthy development of the company is inseparable from your efforts." The girl in white cheongsam continued, "Mr. Qin knows that your time is very valuable. In order to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the banquet, we also specially made it tonight
I prepared some small gifts."
"Before the annual meeting officially begins, we will give away sixteen of the gifts.
As she spoke, she opened the cabinet next to her and took out the item at the bottom.
“The first gift is the [Traveller Trial Type IV Backpack], which can reduce the weight of the items in the backpack by 60%. Compared with the Type III backpack, the weight reduction ratio is increased by 10%. It is an equipment that is still under development.
"Mass production will be in a year at the earliest, so now it is unique. I believe colleagues in the business department will love it."
Li Yu was indeed a little moved when he heard this. The effect of this prop seems to be ordinary, but it is very practical for interdimensional travelers who have a limited counterweight of 5kg each time they come.
Li Yu had already purchased a [Traveller Exclusive Type III Backpack] before, which allowed him to carry about 2.5kg more stuff.
It may not be obvious once or twice, but over time, this becomes a huge advantage.
This piece of equipment was finally chosen by an accountant from the Finance Department.
The latter looked at the symbols that appeared on the giant color TV and then looked at his mobile phone. After comparing the two together for a long time, he finally confirmed that he was the winner, so he happily went to the stage to receive the prize.
"Ah, I'm pretty lucky. I won the lottery right away," Hephaestus looked envious. "Why am I not so lucky?"
"You want that bag too?" Li Yu asked, "For you, there isn't much difference between Type IV and Type III."
"Of course I don't use it myself, and she doesn't know how to use it herself." The handsome mixed-race man pouted at the female accountant who won the lottery, "That backpack is designed for you employees in the business department.
"There must be a lot of people interested in it. In other words, it can be sold for a lot of money as long as it changes hands."
Li Yu glanced at Shi Yitong beside him, and saw that the latter was indeed eager to try.
At this time, the twin sisters began to introduce the second gift. This time the gift seemed to fit the theme of tonight.
It is a cordless vacuum cleaner that is often seen at annual meetings, and its name is [Suck As You Want].
However, its function is different from that of an ordinary vacuum cleaner. It can suck objects within ten meters in diameter directly into the trash can behind it, and it does so out of thin air, just like teleportation magic.
Later gifts include a little turtle that can play all popular songs, a violin that can play tricks, a bottle of magical potion that can immediately accelerate plant growth when poured in, and a two million bonus...
Li Yu didn't draw any of the above things, and the same happened with Shi Yitong and Hephaestus. They were watching the whole process, sharing the joy of others.
When the last prize was taken away, the handsome mixed-race man comforted himself, "It's okay, there should be two more rounds, and the big prize is behind me."
Li Yu calculated that there were sixteen prizes at one time, and forty-eight prizes three times. There were about 130 guests tonight, and the probability of winning was almost one-third. This was not a very optimistic number.
After the first round of draws, the waiters began to serve the food. They pushed the dining cart to the table, which was filled with various dishes, all of which were traditional Chinese delicacies.
Including Wensi tofu, lion head, roast duck, boiled cabbage, Longjing shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, spicy and sour mullet egg soup...
Li Yu had already eaten something to fill his stomach before coming here, but he still couldn't help but move his index finger after seeing these dishes.
Shi Yitong was also very satisfied with the food in front of him, "Last time I went to London to attend the annual meeting, they actually teased us with fried fish and salad."
"No, at least there should be foie gras." Hephaestus said while rolling the roast duck.
"It was originally available, but it was said that the dish was canceled due to protests from animal rights activists."
"Ha, that's not surprising."
Li Yu looked at the empty table at the front again, "Where are the directors, won't they eat with us?"
Shi Yitong glanced at his watch and said, "It stands to reason that it's time to come down now. Maybe there's something else going on over there."
As she was talking, the door to the living room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
There was a sound of horses honking in everyone's ears, and then they saw a white pony with no trace of mottled color slowly walking in from outside the door.
Sitting on its back was a fit man with a high nose, blond hair and blue eyes. He had a typical Gaulish appearance and wore a two-cornered hat on his head.
The horse had obviously traveled a short distance just now and was still panting after coming in. Then it walked directly to the pool in the center of the living room, lowered its head and drank some water in it.
The man on its back seemed to enjoy the shocked gazes of everyone at the moment, and sat on the horse for a while before jumping off.
His eyes looked around, and finally fell on Shi Yitong. His eyes lit up, and he handed the horse's rein to the hand of a waiter next to him, and said, "Take care of Marengo for me."
After saying that, he walked over here.
Shi Yitong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "That guy...does he really think he is Napoleon?"
"Who is he?" Li Yu asked.
"Bernard, one of the five directors of the company, is probably the most idiotic one. He always likes to sensationalize and do ridiculous things like this to attract everyone's attention."
"And there are rumors that he likes to attack female employees." Hephaestus added, "You'd better be careful."
"I can take care of myself." Shi Yitong said, "Even if I am a director, I must abide by the company's rules and regulations. Bernard cannot force me to do anything."
While the three of them were talking, Bernard had already walked up to Shi Yitong and bowed, "This beautiful lady, have we met somewhere?"
Without waiting for Shi Yitong to answer, he shook his head again and said, "No, that's not right. If I had seen you before, I would definitely not forget it."
