The banquet went very smoothly, and I became somewhat familiar in front of the industry bigwigs.
After returning, I sent a red envelope in the work group, treating everyone to late-night snacks. Everyone was very happy and congratulated me one after another. The only one who remained silent was Lin Jinping. I didn’t mind; after all, she was no longer a threat.
At the celebration dinner, I embraced the representative from the client side, Louis. He patted my shoulder and said, "Miss Fang, I have great confidence in your future."
"I hope I can wait until the day you become the director for your China region," I replied with a smile.
"Then I’ll take that as a good omen. If that day really comes, I will definitely treat you to a meal," I added.
Louis chuckled, "Alright, I'll be waiting."
Just then, Lin Jinping walked in after finishing a phone call, her face beaming with joy.
"Mr. Lewis," she greeted.
Louis paused for a moment, "You are…?"
Lin Jinping smiled, "We met before; did you forget?"
Louis furrowed his brow for a moment before recalling, "I remember now."
Lin Jinping's smile grew even brighter, "I thought you might not remember."
Louis laughed, "How could I forget someone as beautiful as you? After meeting once, it's hard to forget."
Lin Jinping beamed even more brightly, "We will definitely have more opportunities to meet in the future."
Louis nodded, "Of course."
I glanced down at my phone; it was a message from Chen Shuqin. She said that Gao Qing had been deliberately provoking her and even left her an invitation to the celebration dinner, clearly intending for her to cause a scene at my event.
I replied, "Do you remember what I told you before?"
"Remember, this time I will make that pair of scoundrels pay the price!" Chen Shuqin replied.
I put away my phone and called Li Hui.
"Where are you?"
Li Hui chuckled, "I'm already on the way. Don't worry, I'll be there within half an hour."
Raising an eyebrow, I asked, "You're so busy, how come you're arriving so early?"
Li Hui smiled, "It's your celebration banquet; of course, I need to come early to support you."
At the celebration banquet, Cao Baoqing gave a speech on behalf of the company.
"Everyone, this year our two S-level projects have been a great success. This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. On behalf of the company, I want to express my gratitude and promise that this month's bonus will be two percent of the project revenue!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd, but Lin Jinping, although smiling, wore a faint smile. After all, she had not participated in either of these projects.
Cao Baoqing handed me the microphone, signaling me to speak.
I took the microphone and stepped up to the front.
"First of all, I want to thank all my colleagues for their support and help. Without you, these two projects would not have been completed so smoothly and quickly. Thank you all!"
A round of applause broke out from the audience.
I continued, "I just applied to the leadership, and it has been approved: starting tomorrow, our team will have a three-day break. You all have worked hard during this time; take this opportunity to go wherever you want and see whoever you want."
Several young people in the team cheered with excitement.
Xiao An led the cheer, "Sister Hui, I love you!"
I laughed and replied, "Don't love me; it won't lead to anything."
As everyone burst into laughter, I noticed Lin Jinping turning to leave.
After a while, he returned to the venue with Chen Shuqin.
Chen Shuqin was clearly dressed up for the occasion, but her outfit was rather tacky.
