Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

She was terrified of performing poorly and of embarrassing Chen Dong because of her clothes and appearance.

Chu Mengran's hands moved back and forth among the clothes racks, her fingertips gently gliding over the fabric of each garment, as if searching for that perfect fit.

Finally, she picked up a pink dress, held it up in front of her, and slowly walked to the mirror.

Her eyes were full of expectation, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes instantly filled with criticism and dissatisfaction.

She frowned slightly, shook her head gently, and muttered to herself, "Isn't this too childish? Everyone here is a professional elite. If I dress like this, will they think I'm immature and not good enough for Chen Dong?"

Still dissatisfied, she put the skirt down.

Then, she picked up a blue dress, put it on, and twirled around the room a few times, each movement made with a hint of caution.

She carefully examined herself in the mirror, trying to find a satisfactory answer from every angle.

But she always felt something was missing in her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes gradually dimmed, she sighed, and changed her clothes again.

Her eyes reddened slightly, and her anxiety and helplessness grew stronger. She kept muttering, "Why isn't there anything suitable? What should I wear?"

At this moment, Chen Dong gently pushed open the bedroom door and saw clothes scattered all over the bed and Chu Mengran looking distressed. His eyes were full of concern.

He stepped forward and asked softly, "Mengran, aren't you ready yet? It's almost time, everyone's waiting for us at the hotel."

Chu Mengran's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said coquettishly, "I'm so overwhelmed with choices, I don't know which one to wear. I feel like none of them are quite right. I don't want to embarrass you on such an important occasion."

"You're so outstanding, surrounded by capable people. If I don't dress well, what will people think? Will they think we're not a good match?"

As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and a few tears slid down her cheeks.

Chen Dong walked forward with a pained expression, gently took her hand, and pulled her to his side.

Looking gently into her eyes, he said earnestly, "Honey, why would you think that?"

"In my heart, you will always be the most outstanding and the most beautiful."

"You know what? You look best in that kind of pure and innocent style, simple yet beautiful, just like when we first met, clean and fresh, and especially captivating."

"That youthful vitality that radiates from within is the most attractive."

"You have to believe in yourself. No matter what you wear, you are unique in my eyes."

After hearing this, Chu Mengran tilted her head and thought for a moment, recalling the scene of their first meeting.

At that time, she was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and Chen Dong's gaze was immediately drawn to her.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, revealing a sweet smile, and she said, "You're right, you really understand me. How could I have been so confused, getting caught up in all these clothes?"

After saying that, she turned around and carefully searched through the wardrobe. In a short while, she found a white floral dress.

She quickly changed into a dress, paired with simple white sneakers, and then stood in front of the mirror.

She tied her long, glossy black hair into a high ponytail, with a few wisps of hair playfully falling on either side of her face.

She instantly radiated youthful energy, like a blooming lily, fresh and captivating.

Chen Dong's eyes lit up as he looked at the transformed Chu Mengran, and his face lit up with amazement. He sincerely praised her, "Baby, you're so beautiful. You'll definitely be the most dazzling person in the room tonight!"

"See, I told you this style suits you best, simple yet charming."

Chu Mengran's cheeks flushed slightly, as if dyed by the sunset on the horizon.

She gave Chen Dong a playful glare and said with a smile, "You're so sweet-talking. But with you around, I feel like I've really become more beautiful."

She walked to Chen Dong's side, gently took his arm, and smiled happily. Her previous anxiety and unease had vanished.

Then, Chen Dong took Chu Mengran's hand, and the two walked out of the house chatting and laughing.

Downstairs, Guo Miao and Yu Qin, who had been waiting for a long time, were chatting.

Seeing Chen Dong and Chu Mengran come down, Guo Miao greeted them with a smile and joked, "You two are finally here! We've been waiting for ages!"

"If you don't come soon, I'll start to think you can even get lost in the stairwell."

Yu Qin also walked over with a smile, took Chu Mengran's hand, looked her up and down, and exclaimed, "Mengran, you look so beautiful today. This outfit suits you so well, you look so pure and lovely."

Chu Mengran smiled a little shyly and said, "Thank you, it was all Chen Dong's idea. I was so overwhelmed with choosing clothes that I almost missed my deadline."

The journey was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Guo Miao vividly recounted the amusing things that had happened to him recently, making everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Qin shared her fashion tips with Chu Mengran, and the two occasionally huddled together to discuss in hushed tones.

Chen Dong and Guo Miao would also join in their conversation, sharing their own opinions, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Everyone was filled with anticipation for the upcoming celebration banquet, their hearts brimming with joy and excitement.

Finally, they arrived at the three-star hotel.

The hotel's banquet hall was brightly lit, with dazzling lights twinkling like stars, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

The light from the crystal chandelier refracted into a kaleidoscope of colors on the polished floor.

A luxurious carpet covered the entire hall; it was soft and comfortable to walk on.

The hall was decorated with exquisite ornaments, and blooming flowers filled the air with fragrance, adding a romantic atmosphere to the banquet.

The company's 24 employees had gathered together, all dressed neatly, their faces beaming with joy and pride.

Upon seeing Chen Dong and his entourage enter, the employees stood up to greet them with warm smiles on their faces.

Xiao Li from the sales team excitedly shouted, "President Chen, we've been waiting for you! Everyone can't wait to start celebrating!"

Other employees chimed in, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Chen Dong, holding Chu Mengran's hand, steadily walked onto the stage.

He cleared his throat and said in a loud and powerful voice, "Colleagues, we are gathered here today to celebrate the great success of 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1'!"

"From development to launch, every step of this game's success is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of every colleague."

"Some colleagues worked overtime and stayed up all night, while others ran around looking for resources. Everyone did their best for this project."
