In fact, Mrs. Shang didn’t dare to argue with Shang Jinshen because of these things. She no longer had any shares in the Ji Gui company, and now all the power was in her son’s hands. No matter what, she could only maintain a good relationship with Shang Jinshen.
The annual meeting of the Ji Gui group was in full swing, and the venue was even more lively. Different from the past, this year’s annual meeting was particularly grand.
Maybe it was because Shang Jinshen was in charge of everything in the Ji Gui world. Under the firm and decisive leadership of Shang Jinshen, the Ji Gui family could be said to be in the top position and remained undefeated in the Ji Gui world.
That was why many of the elite CEOs from various major industries had come tonight. Therefore, when the merchant, Jin Shen, had arrived, the atmosphere had reached its climax.
Although Shang Jinshen looked calm, he didn’t look as grim as before. Obviously, he was in a good mood.
That’s right. As the overlord of such a Ji Gui empire, who would not be satisfied?
As soon as he stepped out of the car door, many people came to welcome him. Naturally, there were many famous reporters coming to the annual meeting of the Ji Gui family.
Lan Si stood in front of them and refused everyone’s interview. Shang Jinshen reached out to the car from behind. Then, a slender white hand was exposed in front of others. Ji Yan let Shang Jinshen lead her to the venue.
It was the same at the last Ji Gui family’s banquet. She and he stood in front of everyone’s eyes, but at that time, their hearts were like a thousand miles away, strange and distant.
At this moment, the two of them smiled faintly at each other and walked into the room.
Naturally, people with discerning eyes would take note of these changes.
“Hey, I haven’t seen you in such a short time. Ji Yan, you’ve become more beautiful.” Director Lin Zhijing came over with a red wine glass in her hand and greeted them with a smile.
Ji Yan had always had a good impression of Lin Zhiyuan, so she naturally responded with a sincere smile. Shang Jinshen whispered in her ear, “You talk to Aunt Lin first. I’ll go first.”
Ji Yan nodded to him, indicating that she was not a child anymore.
Since Shang Jinshen was the host of the Ji Gui family’s banquet, it was impossible for him to stand by her side without saying a word.
When Maggie and Mrs. Shang came in together, Mrs. Shang had her own circle, so she was immediately welcomed away.
Maggie, who had a bad reputation recently, stood awkwardly at the edge of the venue. Her eyes fell on Ji Yan, who was chatting with Lin Zhiyuan with a smile. Lin Zhiyuan inexplicably had a good impression of Ji Yan, but she always went against her, which made her very unhappy.
However, she couldn’t do anything about the Forest Sprite. It was because it had a strong background.
Maggie couldn’t stand being ignored like this. She suddenly looked away from Ji Yan and looked at the people in the venue.
After a while, she saw the photo of Han Lin, whom Fatty Huang had just sent to her on the phone. It turned out that she was Han Xian’s sister, the woman who did not get along well with Ji Yan.
Hehe, the enemy of the enemy is his friend, isn’t it?
Maggie smiled proudly, twisted her waist, and walked in the direction of Han Lin.
“Hey, Han Lin, look at the little star who is coming to us recently. I heard that she is a murderer. How can you let such a person come to the annual meeting of the Ji Gui family?” Han Lin’s friend saw Maggie and said with dissatisfaction.
Han Lin followed her gaze and saw Maggie walking in front of them. She greeted them with a friendly smile. “Hello, I’m Maggie.”
“You’re Shen’s cousin, aren’t you? I’ve heard Shen talk about you a long time ago. You’re so cute. He’s right,” Maggie turned to Han Lin and said affectionately, her tone full of praise.
“Haha, my cousin never praises me,” Han Lin replied sarcastically with a fake smile, showing no respect for Maggie at all.
Maggie’s face froze. She didn’t expect that Han Lin would say that. Would a girl of her age be so happy that she would float in the air after someone praised her?
“That’s enough. Save it. I don’t like your tricks. Humph, bitch.” Han Lin snorted. Then she turned around and walked away with another girl, as if Maggie in front of her was a plague.
“Haha, Han Lin, you’re really good at talking. Look back at her face. It’s obvious that she has been injected with blood on her face. Otherwise, how could she be so unnatural?”
Han Lin glanced at Maggie’s good friend, who was sneering at her, and said, “You have a sharp tongue, too.”
Their voices were not low, and Maggie was not the only one who could hear them. Many people around them heard them. Suddenly, they all looked at Maggie’s face and tried to figure out if her face was really covered with dirt. The more they looked at her, the more they felt that the little star was very beautiful.
Maggie stamped her feet in anger, turned around, and walked to the side. Her face was natural, okay?
And what was wrong with Han Lin? Fatty Huang didn’t say that she had such a bad temper. Just now, she seemed to be asking for humiliation.
When Han Lin saw Maggie walking away, she curled her lips. “Do you really think I’m stupid? Do you want to use me? Haha, I have to have that brain.”
She was not as pleasing to the eye as Ji Yan. At least, Ji Yan was not in a good mood.
Huh? Huo Qing? Han Lin had just turned her head when her eyes lit up. Why had Huo Qing come to attend the merchant family’s annual meeting?
On the other side, Huo Qing and Li Wenjing, who was dressed in a rare gown, walked toward Ji Yan. Huo Qing was wearing a tuxedo, which made her look very gentlemanly and handsome. Li Wenjing, who was next to him, was only wearing a light yellow dress, which made her look very cute.
“Hey, Ji Yan.” Li Wenjing’s voice was neither loud nor low, but it was transmitted to Ji Yan with a hint of happiness.
Ji Yan looked at her in surprise. After saying hello to Lin Zhiyuan, she greeted Li Wenjing and Huo Qing and asked, “Why are you here together?”
Li Wenjing happily took out an invitation card from her bag and said with a smile, “Look, the Ji Gui family has also invited our studio.”
Ji Yan took a look. Sure enough, she unconsciously looked at Shang Jinshen, who was on the stage. He seemed to have noticed something and also looked in the direction of her.
Her heart trembled slightly, and she felt a little warm. She smiled at Li Wenjing and said, “You came at the right time. I just saw a lot of snacks here that you like.”
Li Wenjing’s eyes were bright. “That’s a good relationship. I came here for these things.”
A few days ago, she left because of her hatred. Li Wenjing was very sad. Fortunately, she had recovered well, so Ji Yan was less worried about her.
“Sister Ji Yan,” Huo Qing, who had been neglected for a long time, cried out, unwilling to be lonely, in order to attract her attention. This time, she was willing to call him Sister Ji Yan.
Ji Yan could also feel the change in his mentality, so she let go of the last trace of guilt in her heart, as long as she didn’t affect Huo Qing.
