There were many people in the hall, but I still saw An Lan at a glance.
It's just that she is too conspicuous. Even among the crowd, she is still the most stunning one.
She was wearing a well-fitting black dress, which made her exquisite figure look beautiful. She had everything she wanted, and her temperament was so outstanding.
It was still obvious that her belly was a little bigger than the last time we saw her, but the dress she chose was very good, completely covering her belly and making it less conspicuous.
I remember that the last time I saw her, she told me that it was already six months old. Now more than two months have passed, so she is now more than eight months old.
The baby should be born soon!
I was in a daze when Wang Yi suddenly tilted his head and asked me: "What are you doing dazedly? Let's go in and talk to someone!"
After finishing speaking, she followed my gaze and looked in the direction of An Lan.
This glance also made Wang Yi stunned on the spot. None of us expected to meet An Lan here.
What makes people wonder is, why does An Lan appear here?
"Why is she here?" Wang Yi asked in surprise.
I swallowed my saliva and said somewhat mechanically: "I don't know, why don't we leave?"
"Are you leaving? But Xiangyang has always reserved our tickets for us. If we just leave like this, it will hurt Xiangyang's face a lot!"
I think so. Xiangyang has always been proud that we are a local company. If we leave now, Xiangyang will be really disappointed.
But how should I face An Lan?
An Lan didn't look at us, but was chatting with a middle-aged man next to him who looked like a leader.
Do we really want to take things as they come?
Come to think of it, people can ignore me, so why am I being pretentious here?
After thinking about it, I felt relieved, smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go over and talk to someone."
With that said, I prepared to walk forward.
"Wait a minute." Wang Yi suddenly stopped me.
I stopped and stared at her, wondering what she was going to do.
She walked over with a smile, then hooked her hand on my wrist and said, "It's okay now."
I looked at her and smiled, without saying anything, and just went with her to say hello to others.
After chatting for a while, we actually got to know some people, and during our conversation, the other people were interested in chatting with us in detail.
We left each other's contact information and continued chatting for a while, then it was time for the Chamber of Commerce.
It's more like a dinner party than a business meeting, but the people who come to this dinner party all have a lot of background.
This is a business banquet deliberately organized by the organizer to attract local investment.
I instinctively avoided An Lan, never spoke to her, or even looked in her direction.
During the dinner, Xiangyang came over and stopped me and said to me: "Chen Feng, as an outstanding local entrepreneur, you must support me today. You must come and sit here."
I looked in the direction of Xiangyang's finger, and I saw An Lan sitting at that table. She was calm and composed, and there seemed to be no disturbance at all.
Naturally, I couldn't refuse Xiang Yang, so I had to say: "Director Xiang, I accept your kindness, but the problem is that there is only one seat left at that table, and Wang Yi and I can't sit down."
Xiang Yang smiled awkwardly, and then said: "That's okay, I'll give up my position to you."
"How can that work! Director Xiang, you are the representative of the organizer of this event! If you are not at the table, there is no point in me going!"
Xiang Yang should indeed sit at that table, so when I said this, he didn't refute.
Wang Yi suddenly said: "Why don't you go to that table with Director Xiang, and I'll go to the next table by myself."
Xiangyang looked at me, wanting to wait for my answer.
I really didn't want to go to that table because An Lan was there and I didn't know how to face her, but Xiang Yang wanted me to go to that table.
In the silence, Xiang Yang said to me in a serious voice: "Chen Feng, let me tell you, the guests at that table are all from a good background. I let you go not only to save face for our organizer, but also to
Our local businesses can get more external support."
After Xiang Yang finished speaking, Wang Yi also said to me: "Why don't you just go, I'll be fine, I believe you."
I sighed softly, finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go."
Xiang Yang smiled and said to Wang Yi: "Well, Xiao Yi, I'm sorry. I really can't help it. This is"
Wang Yi smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, Director Xiang, I understand."
So Xiangyang arranged a seat for Wang Yi first, and then took me to the table where An Lan was.
But this arrangement made me feel like it was premeditated. Why did Wang Yi and I come together, but we were forcibly divided into two tables?
Of course, there is indeed only one seat at the table where An Lan is sitting.
Probably, I have delusions of being persecuted.
But I really don’t like the current atmosphere, because it’s completely different from what I thought before I came here!
The reason is because An Lan is here. If she were not here, of course I would not have such a mentality.
As luck would have it, this vacant seat was right next to An Lan, and Xiang Yang arranged it for me on purpose.
When I went to that table, I said to him: "Director Xiang, why don't we change seats?"
"What should I change it for? I left that position for you on purpose."
"Ah? Why is this?"
Xiangyang slowed down, looked at An Lan and whispered to me: "Have you seen that woman? Her name is An Lan. She is an excellent businessman who came back from abroad. They are a family business and are developing well in London. It is said that she wants to return to China now
It is a joint venture with our national enterprise, so there is a reason why I let you go next to her."
Xiangyang didn't know about my relationship with An Lan yet, and I didn't tell him this, but it really made me embarrassed.
In my embarrassment, Xiangyang patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Your Xiaoyi can understand it, so don't be embarrassed."
"It's not that I'm embarrassed, but"
When I was about to tell the truth, Xiangyang had already pulled me to this table and introduced me in public.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Chen Feng, the general manager of our Chengdu Dayu Media. He is a rare talent. It has been less than a year since the company was founded, and it has already submitted an application for listing."
Xiang Yang originally worked for China Merchants Group, so what he said was not a compliment, but what he should have said.
After Xiang Yang finished speaking, people greeted me one after another, all of them very warmly. Only An Lan sat there motionless, as cold as an iceberg.
My heart is not as cold as hers, so when I look at her, I think of many things about the past.
Apart from being a little uncomfortable, I had no other emotions.
But I know that I can't be swayed by too many emotions. Xiangyang is so kind to me, so naturally I can't live up to his kindness.
Especially when communicating with these strangers, I must have a good sense of scale.
Just like that, I sat down on the seat next to An Lan.
She still didn't look at me, but the aura she exuded made me feel like I couldn't breathe.
