Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 448 10th Anniversary Meeting

January 22nd, Saturday, 1 PM.

The multi-functional hall on the 26th floor of the Morning Light Building was brightly lit.

The entire floor was transformed into a banquet hall that could accommodate 300 people. A semi-circular stage was set up in front, and a large LED screen played a montage of works by the Morning Light Group over the past year.

A row of flower baskets was placed on each side of the stage, all sent by partners and subsidiaries.

The banquet hall was set up with nearly thirty round tables, each covered with a dark gray tablecloth, and decorated with fresh flowers and custom-made name tags in the center.

The largest table, located at the very front and closest to the stage, seats sixteen people, with Fu Yibai seated in the very center.

The employees arrived one after another.

Most of the male celebrities wore dark suits, while the female celebrities subtly competed with each other in their outfits.

The colors of the evening gowns ranged from champagne gold to royal blue to burgundy, each showcasing its unique charm.

When Deng Chao and Sun Li came out of the elevator, the staff at the registration desk's eyes lit up.

Sun Li wore a dark green velvet dress, her hair was tied in a low bun, and she walked slowly, arm in arm with Deng Chao.

"Is General Manager Fu inside?" Deng Chao asked at the registration desk.

"Yes, over at the main table."

Deng Chao led Sun Li inside.

Sun Li whispered, "Don't drink too much today."

"Don't worry, I can hold my liquor well."

Sun Li glanced at him, her eyes conveying a wealth of emotions, but ultimately said nothing.

Huang Bo brought Xiao Ou, Lei Jiayin brought Zhai Xifei, and Wang Baoqiang brought Lin Rui; the three families arrived almost simultaneously.

Xiao Ou wore a royal blue dress, Zhai Xifei wore a beige knit sweater with a dark long skirt, and Lin Rui wore an elegant gray suit.

Chen Xiao followed closely behind the group as they entered.

After several years of development, he is no longer the unknown newcomer he once was.

But he remained shy and humble.

After greeting Deng Chao and the others, he quietly took his seat.

Seeing her older brothers all in pairs, she felt a little envious.

"Little one, are you envious?"

"Want your brother to introduce you to a girlfriend?"

Deng, sensing his thoughts, jokingly remarked.

Chen Xiao quickly waved her hand, her ears turning slightly red: "Brother Chao, please don't joke with me. I just want to focus on my work right now."

"Haha, having a girlfriend doesn't interfere with work."

Our company doesn't prohibit these things.

Huang Bo, who was standing nearby, also joined in the joke.

Fu Yibai and Zhang Xinyu were passing by when they heard several people laughing loudly.

"What are you talking about? You seem to be having so much fun?"

"Haha, Mr. Fu."

"Mr. Fu."

.........

The group of men, along with their wives, got up and greeted Fu Yibai.

Chao said he wanted to introduce Chen Xiao to a girlfriend.

"Brother Bo!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Introduce me to a girlfriend? That sounds good."

You're 23, right? You should definitely be able to start a relationship.

Young people should enjoy life outside of work.

Fu Yibai gently patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder.

Chen Xiao was completely stunned.

Sun Li tugged at Deng Chao's hand, and Deng Chao quickly realized what was happening and pulled his wife forward.

"Mr. Fu, this is my wife, Sun Li."

She has always wanted to thank you in person.

"Yes, yes, and us too."

Huang Bo and his wife quickly pulled their wives forward to express their gratitude.

"Alright, alright, no need for thanks, we're all family."

"Give me the project, and I'll make money too."

Fu Yibai waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Chen Xiao.

"Relax and enjoy the food and drinks at today's company annual meeting."

After saying that, he walked to the main table at the very front.

Zhang Ruoyun arrived a little late.

He was wearing a dark gray suit, and his hair was a little longer than when he filmed "Medical Examiner Qin Ming". He looked much more energetic.

Following behind him, Tang Yixin wore a light pink knee-length skirt and a white woolen coat.

She hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the banquet hall. Zhang Ruoyun turned around and glanced at her, then whispered something to her.

Tang Yixin nodded and followed him to the main table.

"Mr. Fu."

Zhang Ruoyun walked up to Fu Yibai and stood up straight.

Fu Yibai glanced at him, then at Tang Yixin, who was standing half a step behind him, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"Well done, you're pretty quick."

Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin spoke at the same time.

"It's not what you think."

Then the two looked at each other and were too embarrassed to speak.

After a pause, Zhang Ruoyun explained, "Yixin has always wanted to thank you for giving her the opportunity to play Wu Zetian, so I invited her to the company's annual meeting."

"That silly boy."

Fu Yibai thought to himself.

"Oh, I see. No need to thank me. Your image and temperament are quite suitable for the role, and your performance during the audition was also excellent. So this role is the result of your own hard work."

"Alright, go sit over there."

Fu Yibai waved his hand.

Zhang Ruoyun led Tang Yixin to sit down at the table where the newlyweds were.

Around seven o'clock, Yang Tianbao followed Yang Mi into the banquet hall.

Today she wore a moon-white high-slit cheongsam with hand-sewn pearl buttons at the neckline, and the fitted waistline perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

The side slit is very high, revealing a section of long, fair, beautiful legs when walking.

Yang Tianbao came up to Fu Yibai and greeted him.

"Mr. Fu."

"Why are you here?"

"It was Sister Mi who brought me here; we're in the same film crew now."

""Witch 2"?"

"Uh-huh."

"Was it arranged by General Manager Yang?"

"Yes."

"..."

Fu Yibai's feelings became very complicated for a moment.

However, the focus of the entire "Witch" series is on the female lead, so Yang Tianbao's appearance as a decorative character in the movie doesn't really affect anything.

"Okay, go sit with Mimi and the others."

Fu Yibai waved his hand.
