One day last month, Mrs. Lu saw Lu Xun walking into the house listlessly and asked, "Lu Xun, when are you and Xiao Zhi going to prepare for your engagement ceremony? I'm ready, and we can start once the time and venue are confirmed."

Lu Xun thought of the little girl whom he hadn't seen for half a month and sighed.

Mrs. Lu was shocked: "Why are you like this? Did my daughter-in-law dump you?"

Lu Xun looked at the imaginative Mrs. Lu and twitched his mouth: "Mom, I just haven't seen Xiao Zhi for half a month. She has been busy writing her thesis in recent months."

When she learned that it was not her son who was dumped, Mrs. Lu touched her chest in shock: "I was scared to death, I thought my daughter-in-law had flown away. You have to stay calm, be a good man behind Xiaozhi, and don't disturb Xiaozhi's career."

Lu Xun leaned on the sofa: "I can't even see the person, how can I talk about engagement."

Mrs. Lu poked her wooden son with her finger and said, "You are stupid. Since you can't see Xiao Zhi, don't you know how to look for your future father-in-law and mother-in-law? I can't rely on you. I will take over this matter."

After saying that, he glared at Lu Xun and went upstairs to get ready.

It has to be said that Mrs. Lu is quite proactive. The next afternoon, she went straight to the Nan Group with gifts. When she entered the door, she said to the front desk: "I am Mrs. Lu from the Lu Group. Please help me contact Mr. Nan."

The receptionist asked, "Do you have a reservation?"

Mrs. Lu was stunned: "I forgot, please ask President Nan for me, she will meet me."

The front desk clerk politely replied: “Please wait a moment.”

So the message was conveyed to Nan Nan, and soon, Nan Nan's secretary came downstairs personally and took Mrs. Lu up.

Mrs. Lu brought two people, carrying gifts, and followed Nan Nan's secretary to Nan Nan's office. When she entered the door, Nan Nan had just made tea.

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw Nan Nan, she excitedly took Nan Nan's hand and said, "Mr. Nan, long time no see. The last time we met was at a business banquet. I didn't expect that we will be relatives soon."

Nan Nan was shocked by this outgoing enthusiasm. She pulled Mrs. Lu to sit down and said, "That's not true, Mrs. Lu. We said before that we would find time for both parties to meet together, but Xiao Zhi has been too busy recently and simply can't spare the time."

If anyone else said this, it would sound like an excuse, but for Gu Shanzhi, who is so busy that he has no time to rest, it is very appropriate.

Mrs. Lu still didn't let go of Nan Nan's hand: "I understand that Xiaozhi is busy. My silly son hasn't seen Xiaozhi for half a month. He has lost his appetite recently. Every day he wanders around in front of me like a body without a soul."

Nan Nan also felt that her daughter was too busy recently. She could hardly see her biological mother, who lived with her, let alone Lu Xun. She felt very guilty.

"To be honest, it was Xiao Zhi's fault for neglecting Lu Xun." Her tone was very sincere.

Mrs. Lu quickly got to the point: "Mr. Nan, you see, the child is so busy, it is not easy for us to disturb him. Why don't we, as parents, prepare for the engagement ceremony first? They are just trivial matters anyway, and I am free, so just leave it to me. The child has his own things to do."

Nan Nan also thought it was a good idea. Even if Gu Shanzhi knew about it, she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. She was not interested in anything except traditional Chinese medicine.

"Then according to Mrs. Lu, what should we do?"

"I think it would be better to hold it at the end of the year, before the Chinese New Year, together with the annual meeting. We have to hold the annual meeting anyway, so why not combine it with the engagement party? It would be meaningful to use the company's annual meeting as an engagement party, right?"

Nan Nan was confused: "The times of our two families' annual meetings are not the same, and it is difficult to decide on a venue."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said, "These are all trivial matters. Our Lu Group can accommodate your Nan Group's time and place. If you don't have enough space, any banquet hall under the Lu Group can be used at any time. We can always find a suitable place."

The planning for Lu's annual meeting had been completed long ago, but the planner was cheated by Mrs. Lu. For the next period of time, he worked overtime every day and cried while redoing the annual meeting plan.

Nan Nan felt even more embarrassed: "We have to ask you to accommodate us, that won't do. How can we let you suffer losses?"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Mr. Nan, you are being too polite. We are going to be a family soon. There is no such thing as one person giving in to another being at a disadvantage. It is an honor for our Lu family that Xiao Zhi is willing to marry Lu Xun. The idea that we are at a disadvantage is not true. Please don't be polite, Mr. Nan."

Nan Nan said: "I can't make the decision on this matter alone. How about this, on the weekend in a couple of days, we can arrange a time for our two families to have a meal together and discuss this matter face to face? I can make the decision on the annual meeting, but Xiao Zhi's matter needs to be discussed by our family together."

Mrs. Lu felt that the deal was done, so how could she not agree? She agreed quickly and scheduled the date for that weekend. All the people from both families, except Gu Shanzhi, gathered to discuss the engagement banquet together.

Finally, it was decided to merge the annual meetings of Nan and Lu, and the venue would be chosen between the two companies, a hotel owned by Lu. The venue would be provided by Lu, and Nan Nan insisted on paying for all the expenses, so Mrs. Lu had no choice but to agree.

But behind the scenes, Mrs. Lu asked the hotel to reduce all quotes by 30%. In Mrs. Lu's words, "How can you make money from your own family?"

After everything was settled, Lu Xun couldn't help but admire his mother. She was undoubtedly a talented person in society. It was a pity for her to stay in the Lu family. If she was placed in the sales department, Lu's performance would surely achieve greater success.

After Mr. Lu was told this, Mr. Lu, who loved his wife dearly, almost chased his own son with a stick and beat him up.
