Chapter 336: Nanxun Annual Meeting, the Only "Outsider"

February 2, 27: pm.

Nanxun Culture’s first annual meeting was held in the banquet hall on the third floor of Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing.

As the first annual meeting since the establishment of Nanxun Culture, the entire company attached great importance to this annual meeting. From the selection of the venue and the construction of the venue to the annual meeting process, Xu Fei and Gao Wen cooperated throughout the whole process.

Park Hyatt Hotel is located in the main building of Yintai Center in the CBD of Beijing, offering a panoramic view of the stunning scenery of Chang'an Avenue.

The reception area of ​​the banquet hall on the 3rd floor covers an area of ​​850 square meters and has a long koi fish carpet in orange and crimson. It extends from the reception area to the three connected banquet halls, and the entire ground looks like a rushing river.

The banquet hall was splendidly decorated with gorgeous curtains, magnificent chandeliers, and embellishments of flowers and green plants, making the entire venue look like a fairy tale world.

The carefully designed tables, chairs, furnishings and exquisite tableware, every detail exudes luxury and taste.

Next to the banquet venue is a wide pond with delicate lotus flowers and candlesticks floating on the water.

The colorful lights are projected onto the water, casting brilliant light and shadows, turning the entire pool into a charming rainbow.

A flower rain installation with drizzling rain is set up on the terrace. Tiny water droplets seem to fall from the sky, filling the air with the fragrance of rain and dew.

Inside the banquet hall, nearly three hundred employees of Nanxun Culture took off their usual work clothes. The ladies wore gorgeous long dresses adorned with jewelry and headdresses, while the men wore spotless suits with elegant ties and bow ties.

The whole venue was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone was chatting and discussing different topics, creating a lively scene.

In the center of the banquet hall, Nanxun Culture also temporarily built a stage of about 30 square meters. A huge curtain at the back was projected onto the top, showing the four big characters "Nanxun Culture", which was simple and grand.

"Assistant Gao, how long will it take for General Manager Lin to arrive?"

Xu Fei found Gao Wen who was organizing the appetizers and asked anxiously.

It was almost seven o'clock and the boss Lin Li had not shown up yet. He had to have a plan so that he could go on stage and delay time.

Now the entire company leadership is here, including several important directors and screenwriters, except for Wei Shujun who is currently filming in Shanghai and cannot make it back. All of them are already in the venue.

"Director Lin just said on the phone that he's almost downstairs. Just wait a moment. He won't be late."

Gao Wen turned to look at Xu Fei and said calmly.

"But Mr. Chen is here, why didn't Mr. Lin come with him?"

Xu Fei pursed his lips to gesture to Chen Chao who was chatting with someone not far away, and asked in confusion.

"Mr. Lin said he had to pick someone up, so he would be late."

Gao Wen said calmly.

"Who is it?"

Xu Fei asked curiously.

"I don't know either. We'll know after we see."

Gao Wen changed into a black dress today, which was rare for her. She put her hands in front of her and responded calmly as always.

"Ok."

Xu Fei was helpless. He also knew Gao Wen's character, so he said no more and stared at the door of the banquet hall, waiting for Lin Li to arrive.

"coming!"

Finally, about five minutes later, Xu Fei saw Lin Li at the entrance of the banquet hall.

At the same time, he also discovered another figure beside Lin Li, that was... Chen Duling!

At the entrance of the banquet hall, two figures came together. As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.

When they looked up, Lin Li's tall and straight figure first appeared in everyone's field of vision.

A black coat was hanging on his left arm, and he was wearing a black shirt with broad shoulders and smooth and neat arm lines.

There was a faint smile on his angular face, with a calm aura, steady and easy-going.

Beside Lin Li, Chen Duling folded her slender white arm in his arm, with her long hair draped over her shoulders. On her delicate and small face, the corners of her lips curled up in a faint smile, gentle and generous.

Today she is wearing a green diamond-studded dress that perfectly outlines her body lines. She looks around swaying and gracefully, elegant and charming, like a green bird elf living in the mountains.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Hello, Miss Chen!"

Everyone in the banquet hall began to greet each other, first to Lin Li, and then, led by Xu Fei, to greet Chen Duling.

"Hello everyone, I'm sorry, it's a little late. I guess I missed the time."

Lin Li calmly looked around and greeted everyone, and Chen Duling also nodded and smiled in response.

"No, no, there are still ten minutes."

Mr. Lin and Ms. Chen, please take your seats first. We will see Mr. Chen take the stage to host the event later.

Xu Fei stood in front of Lin Li with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

A group of senior executives from other departments and Zhao Qian and others exchanged glances, and they all understood the message that Lin Li conveyed by bringing Chen Duling to the scene today.

Tsk tsk tsk!
Zhao Qian, Shang Wei and others secretly smacked their lips in their hearts, as they roughly knew the situation between Lin Li and those actresses.

From the current perspective, the one in front of us is better!

"Okay, let's take a seat first."

"Mr. Chen, let's see how you perform today."

Lin Li looked at Chen Chao standing beside him and gave him a look that indicated he would wait and see how he performs.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, just wait and see."

Chen Chao responded with confidence.

"Heh... let's wait and see."

Lin Li chuckled, then took Chen Duling, under the guidance of Xu Fei, to the main table in the center of the banquet hall and pulled her to sit down.

Xu Fei sat to Lin Li's left, and executives from other departments sat down in turn.

As for Zhao Qian and others, they were on the right side of their table. The table was full of core personnel from Nanxun Culture's film and television departments, including directors and screenwriters.

"Dudu, you don't seem nervous, you're quite calm."

Lin Li held Chen Duling's little hand under the table, leaned close to her ear and whispered teasingly.

"I'm so nervous, I'm just pretending. Acting, do you understand?" Chen Duling kept smiling and whispered a word from between his lips.

"Well... our Dudu really has extraordinary acting skills!"

"I can't tell at all."

Lin Li smiled and continued to tease her.

Suddenly he felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and then he looked up at Dudu's smiling face. Lin Li was almost laughed out loud at the cute contrast, and forced himself to stop smiling.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, Dudu, please show mercy."

Lin Li whispered to Chen Duling and surrendered.

"Humph!"

Chen Duling snorted lightly, then picked up the glass of water in front of her, put it to her lips and took several sips in succession to hide her nervousness.

"Ah…"

Seeing this, Lin Li chuckled and stopped teasing her. He squeezed her hand a little harder to express his support for her.

Chen Duling raised her eyes to look at Lin Li, met his gaze with a curved brow and a slight smile, indicating that she was fine.

Lin Li felt relieved and turned to chat with Xu Fei about some trivial matters in the company recently.

Seeing that Lin Li and Xu Fei started talking about business, Chen Duling stopped disturbing them and turned to look around.

She just arrived in Beijing at two o'clock this afternoon. It was only after Lin Li picked her up that he suddenly told her that he would take her to attend the annual meeting tonight.

She was confused at first, but then she was filled with joy. She naturally knew what this meant.

She didn't even go back to the villa halfway up the mountain. She directly dragged Lin Li to choose a dress and do her makeup.

The reason why she came late was because she spent too much time on her makeup.

Unlike in the past, this was her official debut in Linli Company, so she naturally had to be fully prepared.

She was very nervous before arriving, fearing that she would embarrass Lin Li if she did not perform well.

But now it seems to be okay, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Duling could feel people looking at her from all sides, but at this moment she was no longer as nervous as she had been before entering the banquet hall, and could face it calmly.

After looking around, her gaze rested on the profile of Lin Li, who was having a serious conversation with Xu Fei.

Under the bright lights of the banquet hall, Lin Li's profile was angular, his eyelashes were slightly drooped, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Because she was busy choosing a dress and doing her makeup, she didn't have time to say a few more words to Lin Li.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, she found that Lin Li seemed to have lost some weight, and his aura seemed to be much more restrained than before.

However, it is still eye-catching.

Chen Duling suddenly found herself a bit of a fangirl, but the object of her fangirling was Lin Li, so she thought it was natural.

"Hello, hello, microphone test, microphone test."

"Hello everyone, can you hear me?"

In the center of the banquet hall stage, Chen Chao, wearing a sexy white suit, picked up the microphone and began to warm up the audience.

"Yes! Mr. Chen is so handsome!"

"Mr. Chen looks so handsome today!"

"General Chen!"

Around the stage, everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to the stage.

Some lively men and women began to cheer loudly in the audience, and some even whistled.

Lin Li also stopped talking with Xu Fei, turned around and looked at Chen Duling, then looked at Chen Chao on the stage together.

"Well, this is the first time I organize such a large event. Please forgive me if I say anything wrong."

"As for those who say I'm handsome, you really have good taste. I'll remember you. You have a keen eye!"

"Okay, without further ado, it's seven o'clock in the evening. I declare the first annual meeting of Nanxun Culture officially open!"

"Everybody cheer!"

Chen Chao's voice was full of passion, and Lin Li inexplicably saw a sense of déjà vu of the leader of a pyramid scheme in him.

"it is good!"

The audience in the audience was very considerate and applauded.

Lin Li turned his head and made eye contact with Chen Duling, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

They were all familiar with Chen Chao, so they naturally noticed his nervousness.

"Well, without further ado, the dishes have been served to everyone. Let's eat and chat for the next period of time. At the same time, the heads of our various departments will take the stage to report and summarize the work in 17."

“Of course, there will also be some wonderful performances by our talented colleagues in the company, so please stay tuned!”

"Next, please invite Director Zhang from our administrative personnel department to come on stage."

"welcome!"

Chen Chao finished his opening performance in one go, then walked off the stage amid the applause of the crowd and went to the side of the stage to wait.

"Not bad, it looks pretty good."

Lin Li and Chen Duling and Xu Fei beside him looked at each other and made their comments with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, that's this!"

Xu Fei gave a thumbs up out of respect.

"He should treat you to a meal."

Lin Li's mouth twitched and he said quietly.

Chen Duling smiled when she heard that and gave Lin Li a reproachful look. There was a unique charm on her cold little face.

The first annual meeting of Nanxun Culture slowly kicked off in such a cheerful atmosphere.
