In the vast banquet hall, under the dome, the sounds of conversation and clinking glasses mingled with the busy figures of waiters.

That gaze quickly disappeared into the bustling, scattered crowd.

Maybe I was just seeing things.

An Ying took out her phone and looked down to send a message to her son.

She held her phone close to her lips and whispered a voice message.

"Honey, did you eat your food well today?"

"Be a good boy and listen to your uncle and aunt, okay? Mom will be waiting for you to come back in Nancheng."

Just as the two voice messages were sent out, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the banquet hall, as some important figure was about to arrive.

Many people around were whispering among themselves while taking photos with their phones.

The financial reporters at the scene put down their wine glasses and food and crowded towards the door.

An Ying didn't pay much attention at first, but...

Suddenly, as if sensing something.

She suddenly looked up at the tall figure surrounded by the crowd.

The gaze that stood in the crowd also turned towards her.

The man's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed squarely on An Ying.

Eyes facing each other.

His eyes held an indescribable tenderness.

An Ying's heart started racing.

My ears are inexplicably getting hotter and hotter.

She lowered her head in a panic, instinctively avoiding the man's gaze.

The man curled his lips into a smile, quickly averted his gaze, turned his head to say something to his secretary, then turned and walked past the crowd surrounding him upstairs.

Assistant Song Zhen leaned closer: "President Gu, do you know him?"

An Ying's red lips parted slightly.

"do not know."

I probably don't know them.

Song Zhen, biting her small spoon while eating cake, said, "He is Fu Chengli, a big shot in the Beicheng business circle. Last year, he took the position of chairman of Fu's Group. He is capable and rich, handsome and dashing, and still unmarried. So many girls are throwing themselves at him, but he doesn't like any of them. He's like a stone, not interested in women at all. I even suspect that he doesn't like women and likes men."

An Ying chuckled, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the champagne glass.

So she's from Beicheng. She doesn't recognize her at all.

Since An Ying woke up in a hospital in Beicheng three years ago, facing problems such as concussion and memory loss, she has had to stay in a ward filled with the smell of disinfectant and medicine every day, so she has not had a good impression of Beicheng.

Not to mention knowing anyone from Beicheng.

Fortunately, her brother took her abroad, bought her a new phone, and got her a new identity.

They even changed their name, adding the Gu family surname to their ID card.

An Ying's life seemed to have been reset, starting from scratch.

Song Zhen picked up a cocktail, took a small sip, and looked puzzled.

Don't you really recognize her? That's Fu Chengli! When has he ever given another woman a second glance?

Just now, I was staring intently at my own boss.

Song Zhen asked, "President Gu, you don't know Fu Chengli? You know the Fu family, one of the top wealthy families in Beicheng, right?"

An Ying said thoughtfully, "I think I've heard about it in the news."

Suddenly, Song Zhen realized: "I know, it must be because my boss Gu is too beautiful that he attracted Fu Chengli's attention. That's why he was staring at him. Men, you know, hehehe."

An Ying shook her head speechlessly: "Don't be silly. He's from the Fu family of Beicheng, after all. How dare you joke around with him like that? Be careful that someone doesn't use it against you."

Song Zhen stuck out her tongue and made a face.

After a while, the portly Mr. Xu leaned over and winked at An Ying, saying:

"Mr. Gu, good news! Chairman Fu invites you."

An Ying was taken aback: "Looking for me?"

Mr. Xu explained, "Didn't our two companies just collaborate on a multinational project? Mr. Fu said he was very interested in the project and wanted to learn more about it."

An Ying nodded and said "Oh".

Mr. Xu smiled and looked at An Ying as if she were his own daughter.

"Xiao Gu, you're my lucky star! I've been trying to contact the Fu family for so many years, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement with them to expand the Beicheng market, but I haven't succeeded all these years. As soon as you came back, the Fu family relented! Isn't that a coincidence? Haha!"

An Ying smiled helplessly.

Second floor lounge.

Outside the lounge stood a man in a suit wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Mr. Xu covered his mouth and whispered to An Ying, "Xiao Gu, you probably don't know him. This is Chairman Fu's trusted secretary, Chen Xi. He has been with Chairman Fu for many years. You need to get along well with him!"

An Ying nodded vigorously: "Mmm."

Secretary Chen was looking down on the phone, seemingly giving instructions about work.

After hanging up the phone, Secretary Chen looked up and saw two people walking towards her.

Secretary Chen's calm expression instantly turned into one of utter surprise.

His gaze was fixed on An Ying.

Mr. Xu reached out and grasped Secretary Chen's hand, which was frozen in mid-air, and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Secretary Chen. Chairman Fu must have been very helpful to take time out of his busy schedule to attend this Nancheng Chamber of Commerce meeting. This is President Gu, the head of the investment company under the Gu Group."

Chen Xi numbly let President Xu hold his hand, but his eyes were fixed on An Ying.

His mouth was agape in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Song Zhen followed behind An Ying, frowning slightly, and thought to himself: What's going on? Haven't they ever seen a beautiful woman before? Is it really necessary to look at someone like that? Why are all the men in Beicheng acting like they've never seen the world before?

Mr. Xu coughed lightly.

Chen Xi finally came to his senses.

He shook hands with President Xu in return, then chuckled and said, "Not at all, Chairman Fu wanted to come himself, and I couldn't stop him."

It sounded like a half-joking remark, but the tone was still serious and polite.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu was filled with joy.

Chairman Fu is coming in person? That means there's a good chance of future cooperation!

President Xu turned around and gave An Ying a wink.

An Ying was confused.

Chen Xi glanced at the closed door of the lounge.

No wonder they would go to such lengths to come to Nancheng instead of attending international conferences.

It turned out to be this reason.

That’s all.

I've been thinking about it for three years, and I still can't forget it.

But... three years ago, it was rumored that An Ying had lost her memory.

Now, when they meet again, she looks at me with a blank stare, as if I were a complete stranger...

This rumor is probably true.

Chen Xi didn't have time to think about anything else. He reached out and knocked on the door of the lounge, then led the three of them inside.

In the lounge's reception area, a group of people sat on the sofa.

They all came to discuss cooperation with the Fu family.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window opposite the sofa, a tall and imposing man stood with his hands in his pockets, his well-tailored bespoke suit making his figure appear even more slender.

Although he had his back to everyone, he was casually looking at the scenery outside the window.

However, he still exudes a powerful aura.

An Ying stared blankly at his retreating figure.

For a moment, I felt inexplicably dazed.

His silhouette looked just like the man who appeared in her dreams.

On the sofa, an investor spoke eloquently about the returns of his newly invested projects.

Chen Xi interrupted softly: "Chairman Fu, President Xu and President An... cough, President Gu has arrived."

Chen Xi gave an awkward laugh.

Almost spilled the beans.

Fu Chengli slowly turned around, his deep gaze sweeping over An Ying.

His expression remained completely unchanged.

He nodded calmly, in a businesslike manner, and said indifferently, "Please sit down."
