wood, bring me here

In the following period of time, Li Jie returned to his former self, and he never mentioned this matter in front of men again.

More than half a month passed by, and finally arrived at the annual meeting.

On this day, Li Jie arrived at the hotel early in the morning to do the final inspection of the venue.

After confirming that all the preparations and relevant personnel are in place, they are relieved.

The fundraising event was scheduled to start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still more than half an hour before the event. The sponsors had already arrived, but the invited stars had not yet appeared.

Those celebrities always like to play big names, and this time the one invited was the one who was very popular some time ago, it was already a miracle that they could show up on time, so Li Jie was not in a hurry, and sat down on the sofa beside the hall.

Looking carefully at the process, He Meilin came over: "Manager Li, you have worked hard."

"This is what I should do," Li Jie responded lightly: "Are you done?"

He Meilin smiled sweetly: "I have nothing to do here, I think it's almost time, I want to come over and help."

Li Jie smiled and said, "Thank you, there's actually not much to do. After all, everyone has already made arrangements. As long as things go smoothly, there won't be any problems."

"Well, that's fine."

He Meilin nodded, and the phone rang.

"Hey, I'm busy now...you don't need to come here, just pick me up from get off work at night..."

Li Jie saw a slight blush on He Meilin's face when she answered the phone, and after hearing the conversation between the two, he had already guessed the identity of the other party.

At this time, Chris walked over in a hurry: "Manager, I just received a call that Du Sheng's car had an accident on the way here."

Li Jie frowned suddenly: "How is the situation?"

"Just sent to the hospital, there is nothing serious, but it must be too late."

Du Sheng was the star invited by Lijing to help out this time, and everything that had been arranged was suddenly disrupted.

It was more than ten minutes before the event started, but the main people attending the event were not there, and it was impossible to find other people to save the event in a short time, so what should I do.

When Li Jie was in a hurry, Chris said, "Manager, don't worry, Mrs. Du is not injured, she said she will be there on time."

Li Jie nodded: "Well, that's the only way to go. I'll explain the situation to everyone then."

"Okay, I'll go get ready now."

Chris leaves quickly.

He Meilin frowned and Li Jie frowned slightly, comfortingly said: "Manager Li, don't worry, this is an emergency, I believe everyone will understand us after they know about it."

"It's okay, I'll wait for Mrs. Du at the door."

He Meilin asked kindly: "Shall I go with you?"

"no need."

Li Jie waved his hand and walked towards the door.

The people attending the event arrived one after another, and the pointer of the time had already pointed to two o'clock, but Mrs. Du never showed up.

Li Jie stood at the door, waiting anxiously. The cold wind of deep winter blew past, making his face hurt like a knife, but he didn't notice it.

Suddenly, a taxi stopped in front of the hotel.

The door opened and a woman got out of the car.

Shoulder-length black hair, a deep purple wool coat, and a pair of black sheepskin boots.

Appropriately dressed and with an elegant demeanor, this person is none other than Li Jie's ex-girlfriend, Yuan Yuan.

Seeing the person in front of him that he was very familiar with, Li Jie's eyes flashed an imperceptible astonishment.

After only a moment, he quickly calmed down.

Li Jie stepped forward, with a calm smile on Junyi's face: "Welcome to Lijing, Mr. Du, is everything okay?"

Yuan Yuan did not expect to meet Li Jie again in this way on this occasion, so it was naturally very unexpected.

However, she also hid her complicated mood at the moment very well, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, my husband is fine."

"It's windy outside, let's go in."

"it is good."

This [-]-person fundraising event is divided into two parts, the first part is fundraising, and the second part is bidding.

The hotel sent staff to collect donations on the street early in the morning, and the auction in the afternoon invited celebrities and dignitaries from D city, experts and enthusiasts in the field of opinions and collections.

All funds raised and auctioned will be donated to the Red Cross Foundation in D City, and two staff members from the Notary Bureau were invited to testify.

After the host spoke a long series of lines, the auction officially started.

There were a lot of bidders sitting in the audience, and the bidder took out one piece of bidding item, and everyone raised their signs and began to bid, the scene was very lively.

Li Jie sat at the back, observing the situation in the arena, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. After all, this was the first time he held such an event, so he was naturally extra cautious.

Yuan Yuan, as one of the invitees, also participated in the auction. She took a fancy to a jade carving ornament and won it at the highest price in this auction, which caused quite a stir.

"Hey, have you heard? This woman is Du Sheng's wife. The two have been secretly dating for three years. They just got married a few months ago. The wedding is quite a grand event."

"No, look at the decoration she took. It's not worth the price at all. It's probably because there's too much money to spend, so I came here to show off."

A few spectators muttered in the corner, pointing at Yuan Yuan who was sitting in front from time to time, and there was a sour taste in their words.

"I remember that this woman came from a very ordinary background, and I think she looks nothing more than that, and I don't know what people like about her."

"Who knows, maybe people are used to the flirtatious ones, and they want to change their tastes, but they just happen to be cheaper with this woman."

"That is, who in the circle doesn't like the new and dislike the old, and kick her away when they get tired of playing. When the time comes, some of them will cry."

The voices became louder and louder, and the people sitting in the front rows could hear them clearly, and some even turned their heads to look at them a few times.

Li Jie's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly as he listened to the discussions of several people, but Yuan Yuan seemed not to have heard it at all, with a slight smile on her face all the time.

By the end of the auction, the sky was already dark, and all the guests present were invited to the grand banquet hall.

In the gorgeous grand banquet hall, the golden light is shining, and the large crystal lamp above the hall is shining brightly, exuding dazzling light.The carved wall with golden stripes is luxurious and elegant, and it is radiant under the scattering of crystal lights.On the walls, paintings of various eras are hung in a patchwork pattern, with bright colors and lifelike.

There was still a while before the official start of the annual meeting. Everyone gathered around in twos and threes with glasses of wine and chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Li Jie took a glass of champagne from the waiter, shuttled through the crowd, and greeted all the guests attending the dinner.

Mayor Li, Shen Lulin from the Shen Group, and his son Shen Lingtian were all invited over, and they were chatting happily with the boss.

Accompanied by the superb performance of the on-site violinists, the guests gradually became full of interest.

Li Jie happened to meet an acquaintance, and the two exchanged polite greetings.

"Xiao Li, long time no see. You have already become Lijing's administrative manager. I heard that today's annual meeting was planned by you."

"Ms. Ye has won the prize."

Li Jie smiled slightly, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly raised.

"I remember it was three years ago when you left there?"

Teacher Ye is a colleague of Li Jie's internship company, and he can be regarded as his tutor.The relationship between the two can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend. At that time, the other company introduced him to the previous company, and the other party was also one of the insiders of what happened later.

Li Jie took a sip of champagne and added, "It's been four years."

Mr. Ye smiled and said: "It's been four years, time flies so fast, I still remember that high-spirited look when you first started working, and now it's finally back to the original look."

"Yes."

"However, I think operation is more suitable for you. With your ability and brains, a mere administrative manager is simply overqualified."

The other party stared into Li Jie's eyes, and said exactly what he said.

Li Jie's eyes changed slightly, and a gloomy color flashed in his long and narrow eyes.

"Teacher, thank you for your proposal, but I think the administration is suitable for me, and the operation department is suitable for better people."

"Xiao Li, I know that this incident has had a great impact on you, but it has been so many years, and you should let it go. Besides, that incident is not entirely your fault," Teacher Ye paused After a pause, he continued: "Because Yuan Yuan also made mistakes."

Li Jie's pupils constricted suddenly, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

Teacher Ye comforted: "Yuan Yuan mentioned this matter to me, and she couldn't do it at the time, so don't blame her."

Li Jie's eyes turned cold: "It's okay, I won't blame her, from the beginning to the end, it was just me being too self-willed that caused this to happen. I have already paid the price for the mistakes I made. It's over."

Teacher Ye reassured: "It's great if you can think like this. I heard that she married a certain star, and she also attended the dinner today. Xiao Li, you and Yuan Yuan should not break up, I think she should There are also many things I want to say to you, after all, she once loved you so much."

Li Jie listened without saying a word, but there was something elusive in his eyes.

Seeing this, Teacher Ye said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was talking too much."

At this moment, the lights on the scene suddenly went out.

A middle-aged man appeared on the stage directly in front of the banquet hall, his deep eyes revealed the qualities of a successful businessman, he was calm, wise, and extremely cultivated.

With a smile on his face, he summarized Regent's development and contribution in City D over the past year, and made a prospect for Regent's development in the coming year, which won warm applause from the audience.

Afterwards, the managers of various departments came to the stage to report.

After Guo Wei from the catering department stepped down, it was Li Jie's turn.

As the youngest department manager in Regent, Li Jie has quick thinking and outstanding ability. After only two years in Regent, he was promoted by the boss to be the manager of the administrative department. This is unprecedented since its establishment.

After he finished his report, there was another round of warm applause.

After this process is over, guests will speak next, and finally it is time for the dinner.

Li Jie ate something casually, and was given a lot of alcohol by several colleagues, which made his stomach very uncomfortable.

He left the banquet hall in a hurry, went to the bathroom and retched for a while.

Leaning on the cold tiles, Li Jie's brain cleared up a lot.

"With your ability and brains, an administrative manager in the district is simply overqualified."

"You and Yuan Yuan shouldn't break up. I think she should have a lot to say to you. After all, she once loved you so much."

Teacher Ye's words kept circling in his mind, like a hammer hitting Li Jie's heart, and once again opened some memories frozen deep in Li Jie's heart.

Staring at the pale face in the mirror, a trace of melancholy appeared between Li Jie's brows.

Brows furrowed, Li Jie washed his face with cold water.

Then he got up, adjusted his appearance in front of himself in the mirror, and then walked out slowly.

In the banquet hall, it was still very lively. People were eating snacks, chatting and laughing with wine glasses.

Li Jie picked a glass of extremely low-alcohol wine at random, and walked towards the depths of the banquet hall.

At this moment, a voice stopped him.

"Mr. Li, please wait."
