Mrs. Lei covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly. She patted Big D's arm in annoyance and said, "Look at your mouth, it's like it's covered with honey. Mr. Liu, ignore him. He just likes to be polite."

Liu Xu shook his head. "Mrs. Lei, I really value Da D. This renovation was completed so smoothly and perfectly, thanks to Da D's hard work."

Big D scratched his head and chuckled, "Mr. Liu, stop praising me. I'm here to learn the annual meeting process, so don't hide it."

"No, no, I'll let A'Luo explain it to you face to face. Come, take Mrs. Lei in to rest and try the refreshments I prepared."

Having said that, he asked his younger brother who was on standby to lead Big D and Mrs. Lei into the venue.

The venue was decorated in a warm and festive manner, with colorful balloons and ribbons intertwined in the sky and soft lights shining in every corner.

The table was filled with exquisite snacks and fruits, exuding a faint fragrance.

Following closely behind were the six uncles from the society, who must have arrived together as an agreement.

The remaining eleven hall masters, including Chen Dao, had arrived at the scene before the annual meeting officially began. They were busy serving tea and water, not looking like hall masters at all.

As the time for the annual meeting to officially begin drew near, Yutoubiao, Dapuhei, Siyanming, Shuaigou, Shanghaizi and Laoguiqiang arrived at the venue one after another.

As for the four special guests, Robinson did not come, but his daughter Lu Xiaodie came. After all, she is too old and cannot adapt to such a lively occasion.

Boss Lin was in Malaysia. Three days after he sent out the invitations, he received a call back informing him that he was in Malaysia and could not leave, so he sent a gift.

Boss Lin is from East Malaysia. He brought huge funds to build the motherland. I heard that he has become a guest of honor among the Malaysian high-level officials and was given a "patriotic award" to avoid death!

The other party also invited Liu Xu to visit Malaysia. Considering the subsequent power development plan, he did not refuse and said frankly that he would go if there was a chance.

Miss Xu from the Four Sons Store and Miss Wu from the Wu family replied that they would definitely be there, but it was almost time for the annual meeting and it looked like they would be late!

Of course, it may also be that something unexpected happened and he cannot come, and there is no time to notify him!

Liu Xu didn't think much about it and stood quietly at the door waiting.

Suddenly, a young woman with fair skin walked towards the entrance of the Dongsheng Annual Meeting. She exuded a pampered air, but her clothing was not particularly attractive.

"Miss Wu Jiaoqing?" Liu Xu asked tentatively.

The man had never appeared in newspapers or on TV, so she couldn't be sure. She asked because his appearance felt familiar to her.

But he had indeed never seen this person in Hong Kong Island. He had only seen him in reports from his previous life in the 21st century. He was an extremely low-key person.

The young woman was slightly startled, then revealed an elegant smile. "Mr. Liu, you have good eyesight indeed. I am Wu Jiaoqing. There was a traffic jam on the road. Sorry!"

"Traffic jam, you..., ahem, I should be the one to apologize. I wasn't thoughtful enough and set the time during the evening rush hour."

Liu Xu was helpless. When he heard the word "traffic jam", he couldn't help but want to continue the lines of actor Liang. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have asked the other party what kind of car he was driving.

As he spoke, he moved sideways and made a "please" gesture, "Miss Wu, please come in quickly."

Wu Jiaoqing nodded slightly and walked into the meeting room with graceful steps. After glancing around, his brows furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed. He asked:

"Mr. Liu, I heard you have connections with the Zheng and Guo families, and that you once saved Mr. Liu's life. It seems no one from these families appeared at the scene?"

"Zheng Shaoqiu from the Zheng family won a Mercedes-Benz at the annual meeting of my and Lian Sheng's club."

Guo Shengde was just an acquaintance, and as for Liu Luanxiong's life-saving favor, he had already repaid the favor." Liu Xu explained, shaking his head with an unwavering expression.

"If Miss Wu wanted to get a bottle of wine with me in the hope of hooking up with any of these three people, I'm afraid Miss Wu will be disappointed. I don't have any wine either."

Wu Jiaoqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood. My purpose for participating is very pure. I hope to make friends with you. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"That bottle of wine is just a stepping stone for me to make friends. If it succeeds, that's great. If not, just consider it a gift from me."

"You don't care about my identity?" Liu Xu asked curiously.

Wu Jiaoqing shook his head slightly, his eyes slowly swept across the conference hall, and finally fell back on Liu Xu, with a bit of sincerity and expectation in his eyes.

"I want to be friends with you because I care about you. You're so young, yet you've already won the title of Helian Sheng and are planning to establish a presence in the Macao. There's a famous saying in our Xia country: 'The great roc rises with the same wind.'"

"With the strength of your Wu family, how dare the society cause trouble for you?"

Wu Jiaoqing followed Liu Xu's steps and sat down in the special guest seat. He stared at Liu Xu strangely for a while, and when he saw his bewildered expression, he sighed and replied:

"Mr. Liu, the ghosts have a huge appetite, and their methods are diverse! Even the four major families dare not say that they can defeat your four major societies."

"No, I should say that if the four major families and your four major societies fight to the death, the four major families will definitely be the ones to die. Bullets are very cheap!"

Liu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly. "Bullets are indeed cheap, but the white people are the ones calling the shots in Hong Kong."

"Haha," Wu Jiaoqing's laughter was mixed with strong sarcasm. "Many wealthy people have died at the hands of foreigners. Besides, your society can't get much."

This reminded Liu Xu of the great chaos and strikes in the 1950s, the "money empire" in the 1960s and 1970s, and the disintegration of the "He" group and the separatist rule of the four major societies.

Behind every chaos, it seems that the foreigners are reaping the benefits of Hong Kong Island.

"Indeed, except for the wealthy people who are interested in Britain, the foreigners really don't care." Liu Xu thought secretly in his heart.

"Oh, I was wondering why I didn't see Mr. Liu. Turns out he was accompanying the beautiful lady!" A sudden female voice interrupted the conversation between Liu Xu and Wu Jiaoqing. It was Xu Ziyan.

"Boss Xu, you still have the nerve to criticize me? I stood guard at the door until the last five minutes. I almost thought you were going to stand me up."

"Since you are here, please take a seat. My group's annual meeting will start soon. If you are lucky, you might be able to get a car to take home." Liu Xu's tone was tempting.

"Then I'll wait and see!" Xu Ziyan said, pulling her male companion to sit down in the special invitation seat.

After Liu Xu's introduction, Wu Jiaoqing, Xu Ziyan, and Sun Xiaodie greeted each other. Liu Xu then looked at Xu Ziyan's male companion and said jokingly:

"Hey, Boss Xu, are you and Lao Bao finally getting married?"

Xu Ziyan's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Mr. Liu, please don't say anything nonsense. He is still in the probation period. Whether he can succeed depends on his subsequent performance."

Feeling his girlfriend's gaze, Bao Buping was like a chicken with blood injected into his body. He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Zi Yan, I will definitely not let you down!"

"If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to play with a dog, I won't walk a chicken."

Feeling the hormones emanating from Bao Buping all the time, Liu Xu felt that he had not checked the almanac today, and was being pressed continuously to experience the sour smell of love.

At this moment, the music at the group's annual meeting suddenly changed and the rhythm became more exciting.

Host Li Hangluo walked onto the stage with a confident stride, microphone in hand, and shouted in a resounding voice: "Dear guests, welcome to the grand annual meeting of Dongsheng Group."

After sifting through a pile of things, there was a burst of warm applause, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

As Li Hangluo stepped down from the stage, the 30-minute tea break officially began. Participants were free to communicate with people from different companies sitting at the same table.

Share work experiences and insights, or talk about interesting things at work to enhance connections with each other.

Thirty minutes later, Li Hangluo returned to the stage slowly and coughed lightly a few times.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he announced the next part.
