Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

In the banquet hall, the tall, thin organizer, beaming, stood at the front, microphone in hand: "Distinguished guests! Friends!"

"Tonight, our An Family Charitable Foundation is deeply honored! We are extremely honored to have such a distinguished leader take time out of his busy schedule to attend our dinner and offer guidance!"

"Let's give a warm round of applause to An Xuanye, Deputy Director of the Provincial Party Committee General Office!"

Deputy Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee?

This is a powerful figure from the province, and from the General Office, a place closest to the core leadership.

Normally, these business tycoons and celebrities who dominate the market might not even have the chance to meet someone like this.

The banquet hall erupted in applause.

All eyes were on the young man standing on the stage, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Amidst the shock, everyone also noticed the surname: An.

People from Anjia came to show their support in person.

Among the crowd, a few people curled their lips into a meaningful, cold smile.

Their gazes drifted, intentionally or unintentionally, toward the direction where Lu Jingxiu and his group were.

They took the lead in donating 888, trampling the face of the Anjia Charity Gala underfoot. Now look what happened, the younger generation has been beaten up, and now the older generation has come.

Fu Xingzhou stood in the crowd not far away, his eyes coldly sweeping over Lu Jingxiu's direction, a gloating smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to see if this young master of the Lu family could still be as arrogant as before in front of a real high-ranking provincial official.

After a brief pause in the applause, the organizers quickly added, "At the same time, we would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Vice Mayor Liu Zhang of Ba City for his strong support and kind concern for this charity event!"

Applause erupted again.

Liu Zhang took the microphone with a smile, cleared his throat, and said in a strong voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Director An's presence today represents the provincial leadership's attention to and care for our Ba City charity work! Let's once again welcome Director An with warm applause!"

The applause grew even louder.

As soon as the introductions ended, the guests rushed to An Xuanye, extending their hands, handing out business cards, introducing themselves, their faces beaming with the warmest smiles, and their mouths uttering the most flattering words.

The crowd was packed, creating a lively scene.

"With this kind of setup, anyone who didn't know better would think the provincial party secretary had arrived," Lu Jingxiu remarked, watching the scene of being surrounded by so many admirers.

Zhou Yu sneered, "Is that old bastard Liu Zhang determined to take sides?"

The deputy mayor, as a department-level cadre, is one level higher than An Xuanye, who is a deputy department-level cadre.

Although the other party is from the provincial government and has a bright future, this fawning over is clearly a sign of taking sides and trying to get on Anjia's side.

Lu Jingxiu turned his head and asked Guo Zhixu beside him, "Zhixu, is it considered a violation of discipline for Liu Zhang to come here tonight?"

Guo Zhixu thought for a moment and nodded firmly: "That's fine, Brother Lu. According to the regulations of the government office, without the approval of the mayor and the municipal party committee, the vice mayor is not allowed to attend any festivals, exhibitions and celebrations."

"He came here today without prior notice or a legitimate official reason, which is clearly a violation of regulations."

Tang Cheng, listening from the side, looked utterly astonished and lowered his voice, saying, "Then why did he come here so openly? Doesn't that show him no respect for your father? Isn't he afraid of your father holding him accountable?"

Guo Zhixu also looked puzzled: "Something is definitely not right. Liu Zhang is a seasoned veteran in officialdom; he shouldn't be making such a basic mistake."

"If he came in a private capacity, that would be fine, but listen to what he just said; it's obvious he attended in an official capacity."

Lu Jingxiu wasn't too surprised. In this world, it's not uncommon for high-ranking officials to risk their positions to support someone or something.

Zhou Yu suddenly remarked quietly from the side, "What a pity. If Han Xuanxuan hadn't been drunk, we would have had some fun right now."

The people around him all knew exactly what Zhou Yu meant.

Han Xuanxuan is the daughter of the president of Ba Shi Daily. If tonight's events are reported by official media as a violation of regulations by public officials attending commercial activities, neither of the two people present will escape punishment.

Unfortunately, Han Xuanxuan had just drunk herself into oblivion and was taken away, so this entertainment was out of the question.

Tang Cheng suddenly became gossipy: "Hey Lu, I just heard from Fatty Zhou that Han Xuanxuan came over specifically to whisper something to you, and even took the opportunity to kiss you on the cheek? Is that true?"

Lu Jingxiu turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was furious, his round face turning bright red: "Tang Cheng! You brat, don't you dare talk nonsense! When did I ever say anything about kissing on the cheek?! I clearly said that Han Xuanxuan came and provided important information! Information!"

"Slander! This is slander!"

"Alright, stop spreading rumors." Lu Jingxiu withdrew his gaze and began to speak in official, repetitive language, "Comrade Han Xuanxuan has shown that she understands the importance of things at this critical moment and has taken the right stance, which is commendable."

Tang Cheng & Zhou Yu: "..."

No wonder he's the secretary's son.

Meanwhile, on the other side, An Xuanye was still politely dealing with those celebrities.

A prominent figure in a striped suit squeezed forward, handing over his business card with both hands: "Hello, Director An, I'm from the Fuji Group. It's an honor to meet you here."

An Xuanye took the business card and nodded slightly: "Yes, thank you for supporting charity."

Another middle-aged man with a beer belly squeezed in, a smile plastered on his face: "Director An, I saw you from afar at the provincial meeting last time..."

An Xuanye casually replied, "Yeah, thanks for your hard work."

……

After dealing with everyone, An Xuanye slipped away from the crowd and walked to his sister's side.

A gentle smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and carefully tidied the slightly messy stray hairs at An Xiaozhao's temples. His movements were natural and practiced, clearly something he had done since childhood.

Then she said softly, "You must be tired today. You look exhausted."

This intimate and tender scene was witnessed by all the guests.

Not far away, a group of wealthy young ladies gathered together, their eyes sparkling. They cupped their faces in their hands and excitedly pinched each other's arms, exclaiming, "Wow, Director An is so gentle!"

"Ahhh, this brother and sister are so sweet!"

"Oh my god! Why am I not An Xiaozhao?! I want a brother like that too!"

An Xiaozhao looked up at him with an affectionate and obedient smile, her voice soft: "Xiaozhao isn't tired, it's brother who's tired, coming all this way."

An Xuanye smiled and shook his head, then walked side by side with her to a quiet corner.

He maintained a gentle smile, his voice low: "I heard someone broke the rules tonight?"

His gaze slowly swept across the banquet hall: "Point it out to me, which one is it?"

An Xiaozhao shook her head gently, her tone carrying a hint of grievance, but more so of helplessness and understanding: "Brother, forget it, it's just a small matter. Maybe it's because I'm new to Ba City, and they think I'm too young to understand the rules here."

"Today is our family's charity gala, and everyone here is a guest. I don't want the An family to lose face because of my situation, or to put you in a difficult position, brother."

Upon hearing this, An Xuanye's expression softened further, and a hint of relief and pride flashed in his eyes.

This is his younger sister whom he has doted on since childhood.

Look how generous, well-mannered, and sensible he is. Even when he is wronged, he still speaks up for others and considers their feelings.

Seeing his sister's pitiful yet magnanimous appearance, he felt both heartache and relief, and his resolve to stand up for her only strengthened.

He patted An Xiaozhao's hand and replied domineeringly, "In Ba City, there's nothing I've ever let you get away with."

A hint of triumph flashed across An Xiaozhao's eyes, but her face remained obedient and docile.

She turned slightly to the side, gestured with her eyes in the direction where Lu Jingxiu's group was, and then briefly recounted what had just happened in a low voice.

After listening, An Xuanye glanced in the direction his sister indicated.

There sat a few young men who looked quite young, huddled together and whispering something. They were relaxed and even a little carefree.

One of them even had a striking head of yellow hair, which stood out conspicuously under the banquet hall lights.

Upon seeing that blond-haired man, An Xuanye's last shred of concern vanished.

Which children of high-ranking officials would dye their hair yellow?

Dyeing his hair like that clearly shows he has no intention of joining the system. He looks like a spoiled brat from some nouveau riche family, or a nobody brought in by those second-generation officials to make up the numbers.
