As a result, everyone around Song Luokui knew about Chi Yu's plan to propose to her, except for Song Luokui herself, who was still in a meeting with employees at the company.
Moreover, due to the company's excellent performance in the previous year, invitations to events like "Outstanding Entrepreneur Sharing Sessions" were being delivered to Song Luokui.
There were also activities like "Women Entrepreneurs Exchange Meetings." Yu Hui even asked Song Luokui if she wanted to attend.
Song Luokui looked at the invitation for the Women Entrepreneurs Exchange Meeting and said, "Let's go with this one. I'll attend this."
"Alright."
Hair tied up, dressed in a suit, wearing black high heels, with Li Bei carrying her bag beside her, the two got into the chauffeur-driven car.
In the car, Li Bei briefed Song Luokui about the meeting's agenda and who would be attending, highlighting several key figures.
"President Li is one of the most prestigious attendees at this gathering. She's fifty years old and is the wife of Sun Jingwang, also known as the 'King of Snacks'. She doesn't like being called Mrs. Sun; she prefers to be addressed as President Li. She's also a Peking University graduate, which makes her your senior alumna, boss."
"Rumor has it that she came from a humble background and met Sun Jingwang at university. After marrying into the Sun family, she gradually developed her own career to become the President Li we know today. However, there are recent rumors that Sun Jingwang has an illegitimate child."
Song Luokui remarked admiringly, "She must be very capable and charismatic." As for the illegitimate child, she thought that intelligent people probably wouldn't care too much about it; they had more important things to focus on. If that Sun was smart, he should know how to handle it.
"There's also President Hua. The Hua Guardian sanitary napkins we often use were created and developed by her. Her father is Hua Yi, the textile tycoon. She's considered a successful second-generation entrepreneur."
Song Luokui: "I've used their products. They're quite good."
"Then there's..."
Song Luokui: "It seems I'm one of the youngest there?"
Li Bei: "Yes, you are."
Song Luokui: "That's alright. I'm going there to learn anyway."
Arriving at the venue, she signed in, entered the hall, and found her seat. Song Luokui's seat was relatively towards the back, but she didn't mind, considering she was indeed a junior.
She arrived relatively early, and others gradually started to arrive. Someone sat next to Song Luokui, and she smiled at them as a greeting.
The person looked at her, slightly surprised, and then said kindly, "This is the first time I've seen you. You must be new here?" The reason for saying "kindly" was because the person looked to be about fifty-five years old.
Song Luokui: "I guess it was because I saw how some women were struggling so much, so I had that idea."
Host: "President Song's idea is truly admirable." The host was also a woman, and she understood the difficulties faced by women.
...
After the sharing session ended, it was time for the banquet. With delicious food and wine, everyone chatted freely while eating.
Wang Daling introduced her to other attendees, who all seemed quite caring towards her, probably because of her young age.
Besides discussing business matters, they also talked about their children at home, with some even expressing interest in introducing their children to Song Luokui.
Wang Daling: "Little sister already has a fiancé. You all don't need to make introductions."
Song Luokui just smiled and nodded on the side, while others wondered aloud which family's child was so outstanding.
They thought, what a beautiful and capable young woman – how great it would be if she could improve the genes of their next generation.
Song Luokui hadn't expected President Li to come over and talk to her. "I think your idea of creating a company with only female employees is really excellent. In the future, if you encounter any business matters you're unsure about, you can ask me. We can also exchange ideas."
Song Luokui: "Then I'll be shamelessly seeking your advice in the future."
President Li: "I heard you're also from Peking University. As it happens, I'm your senior. You can just call me 'senior' in the future. I was in the School of Economics and Management."
Song Luokui: "Hello, senior!"
...
President Li chatted with her for a while before leaving. President Hua, who was over there, naturally saw this and asked President Li, "Why did you go out of your way to talk to that young girl?"
President Li, holding a champagne glass, said, "Do you know Songhua Technology?"
President Hua nodded, "Yes, I do."
President Li: "That girl is the sister of Songhua Technology's boss. By the way, you should know the recent financial news - the owner of Shan Yu Group is going to be Songhua Technology's boss's future brother-in-law. So..."
President Li had the fortune of attending a very high-level banquet with her husband once, where her husband told her this. It was just that one time. Mainly because some people were of such a high social class that she couldn't just enter their circles at will.
President Hua's eyes widened: "I understand now." Although her father was a textile tycoon, he truly paled in comparison to some people.
