Xu Tian was speechless. They were already pressuring them to have a baby before anything was even started.

It's one thing to pressure him to have children, but to tell him to marry multiple wives is hardly the kind of thing a mother would say.

Despite his complaints, he still had business to attend to. If Lin Wan'er was really after Chu Lan, then he needed to be extra careful.

The Zhao Group.

Zhao Pengfei was in a meeting in the conference room when Zhao Lei not only arrived late, but also demanded that the meeting be terminated.

Zhao Pengfei was furious. "Where have you been! If you don't want to attend the meeting, get out and stop causing trouble!"

Zhao Lei looked nervous, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, interrupting Zhao Pengfei's reprimand.

"Dad, I have something important to tell you!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Pengfei immediately terminated the meeting, dismissed everyone, and then allowed Zhao Lei to continue speaking.

"I just received news that Meng Haoran from another city has somehow gotten involved with the Meiyi Group."

As he spoke, he handed over an invitation card, its cover emblazoned with dazzling gold lettering—it was the invitation to the party. The atmosphere in the meeting room froze instantly, and the two men stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Didn't you say before that you would first build a good relationship with Meiyi Group? How come Meiyi Group is contacting other people now?" Zhao Pengfei questioned.

Zhao Lei felt wronged. He had reminded his father to establish relations with the Meiyi Group long ago, but he hesitated because he was afraid of offending the Xu Group, which is why he failed to establish a good relationship between the two families.

Zhao Pengfei sighed, "Since they've sent an invitation, Meiyi Group probably doesn't consider us an enemy. We can take this opportunity to test their strength."

Zhao Lei thought so too, which is why he hurriedly sent the invitation here.

"Should we still notify Zhao Jing?" Zhao Lei asked tentatively.

Zhao Pengfei shook his head. He didn't know when it started, but his pampered daughter had gradually become out of his control. The more Zhao Jing saw, the more pressure Zhao Lei felt.

After all, the Zhao Group will eventually be handed over to Zhao Lei, and we can't let a woman steal the limelight and end up in a difficult situation.

Zhao Lei was very satisfied with the reply. After a short preparation, he set off with Zhao Pengfei.

Hengtong Group.

Zhang Qian also received an invitation to a business gathering, which surprised her but also made her uneasy.

To Lin Wan'er, she was nothing more than a means to deal with the Xu Group. Lin Wan'er didn't think much of her at all, but Lin Wan'er still sent her an invitation at this time.

Zhang Qian already knew about this joint business gathering with Meng Haoran from another city, and she had heard that there were only about twenty invitations, so she never thought she would receive one.

However, this is a good opportunity to get close to Lin Wan'er, and also a good opportunity to obtain the core technology of Meiyi Group in the future, repay the favor, and ask Xu Tian for forgiveness!

With that in mind, Zhang Qian went home to prepare for the occasion, dressed in her finest attire.

"Where are you going dressed so nicely?"

Since Zhang Peng went to jail, Li Cui has been staying at home.

"Business gathering."

Li Cui's eyes lit up. "Does that mean there are a lot of rich people?"

Zhang Qian said impatiently, "That's none of your business!"

"Money can get your brother out of trouble. You have to take this seriously. I'm giving you one last chance!" Li Cui threatened.

Zhang Qian sneered. A woman who couldn't even read properly dared to threaten her? Absolutely not!

Even if she is the mother who gave birth to him!

Ignoring Li Cui, Zhang Qian dressed up and headed to another city.

After Xu Tian called his mother for help, he didn't want to talk to Zhao Jing and deliberately ignored her for a few days before returning to the Xu Group. Unexpectedly, Chu Lan had already set off by then.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Xu Tian asked back.

The secretary nodded. "Mr. Chu said that he not only had to attend the company event, but also a business gathering. He was worried that he wouldn't have enough time, so he left quickly."

"You mean, Chu Lan only just found out about the gathering?"

The secretary replied, "That's right, I was in such a rush that I even forgot to bring my dress."

“I’m going too, and I’ll bring it for her!” Xu Tian said.

The secretary quickly placed the prepared evening dress in Xu Tian's car, and Xu Tian got in the car to go over.

The secretary kindly reminded him, "Mr. Xu, would you like us to prepare a new outfit for you?"

Xu Tian then looked down at himself. He was wearing a hoodie, casual pants, and sneakers, which was indeed not suitable for attending a business gathering.

"Do you have one ready-made? I'll just put it on!" Xu Tian asked.

"There is a lounge in President Chu's office."

Xu Tian didn't dare to delay, got out of the car, closed the door, and went to the lounge.

When Xu Tian opened the wardrobe that covered the wall, he was dumbfounded. When did Chu Lan prepare so many suits and formal wear for him here, even the ties were matching?

The secretary smiled and said, "President Chu cares about you very much. Whenever he comes across something suitable for you while he's out and about, he asks us to buy it and hang it here."

Moved, Xu Tian dismissed his secretary.

Since Chu Lan has his eye on them, he doesn't need to bother choosing; they're all sure to suit him.

After changing into a well-matched dress, Xu Tian went downstairs.

The secretary's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, and she only came to her senses after watching Xu Tian drive away.

"Clothes make the man. The person who can keep our CEO Chu under his thumb is no ordinary person at all!" the secretary exclaimed with starry eyes.

Meng Haoran's company.

When Chu Lan drove downstairs, Meng Haoran had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"Sister Lan, we've finally been waiting for you."

Meng Haoran was dressed very formally and gentlemanly opened the car door for Chu Lan, who smiled and nodded to express her gratitude.

How many floors are there in total?

Chu Lan smiled and chatted with Meng Haoran as they walked.

Meng Haoran said modestly, "Currently, it only has three floors, but the company has already started to select a new site for expansion. At that time, I will have to ask you for advice, Sister Lan."

Chu Lan smiled gently as she walked around the company with Meng Haoran, offering many insightful suggestions along the way.

"Why don't you come to my office and rest for a while?"

After introducing the company, Meng Haoran said.

Chu Lan nodded and went with Meng Haoran to his office.

Meng Haoran confidently called his secretary over and brought him a coffee—an Americano without sugar, the kind Chu Lan drank, according to his prior knowledge.

Chu Lan frowned slightly as she looked at the coffee. Since living with Xu Tian, ​​she rarely drank coffee or stayed up late, because Xu Tian would exhaust her every night until she was completely drained.

"What's wrong, Sister Lan? Is it not to your liking?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Meng Haoran's eyes.

Chu Lan smiled and said, "No, it's just that I haven't drunk coffee in a long time."

Meng Haoran nodded and had his secretary take the coffee away.

Chu Lan seemed to sense Meng Haoran's embarrassment and easily changed the subject.

"Before receiving your invitation to visit the company, I hadn't heard you mention any business gathering."

Meng Haoran's eyes flashed, and he smiled subtly.

"It was just arranged."

Chu Lan frowned. She had promised Xu Tian that she would go back after visiting the company, but she hadn't mentioned attending the business gathering, so she hadn't even brought the dress her secretary had prepared.
