Zhao Ze felt a bit uncomfortable but didn’t say anything more, just threw out an apology and continued with his tasks.
He didn’t try to engage Luo Xi in conversation again, and she also didn’t pay him much attention.
Meanwhile, Xu Guan arrived at the president’s office and asked, “President, is the lottery event tomorrow going to be the same as previous years?”
Leng Minxing didn’t lift his head. “Yes, you arrange it.”
Xu Guan nodded and was about to turn to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back. He said, “The young madam will likely attend tomorrow as well. What if someone invites her to dance?”
The electronic pen in Leng Minxing’s hand snapped in two with a crack.
Xu Guan’s eye twitched.
“Add another prize…”
Manager Zhu, who had just reached the door of the president’s office, paused at hearing this.
“What’s this about another prize?” His expression changed from surprise to excitement. He thought, “Could it be some kind of mysterious grand prize?”
In past company events, there were usually ten prizes: the first was a luxury car, the second was a villa or apartment worth millions, the third was a free nationwide travel voucher, and the fourth to tenth prizes were cash bonuses of 100,000 yuan.
The car was first because the luxury cars given out by the president were always above five million. This made many people envious. The lottery was the most thrilling moment of the year for the company, and now the president was adding a new prize this year!
Manager Zhu was the technical department manager and one of the planners for the lottery event.
He originally came to confirm if the president’s plans were the same as usual. He never expected to hear such good news.
Manager Zhu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Throughout the day, Luo Xi heard discussions about the lottery and began to feel a bit excited herself.
The next day, everyone finished work and hurried home to get ready for the opening ceremony.
When she saw everyone leaving, Luo Xi went straight to Leng Minxing’s office. While everyone else was eagerly heading out, his office remained quiet and deserted, just as it always was when she walked in. The man was focused on his work with his head down.
Luo Xi approached quietly.
“You’re here. The gown is ready for you. Go try it on.”
Leng Minxing looked at her, his usually cold face softening into a gentle smile.
Luo Xi asked, “What about you? When are you coming?”
“I might need to wait a bit longer. If you’re in a hurry, I can have Xu Guan take you there first.”
Luo Xi frowned. “No, I’ll wait for you.”
“What, are you afraid to go alone?” Leng Minxing smiled faintly.
“Of course not! I want to be with you.” Luo Xi shook her head.
“But by the time I get there, the grand prize might already be gone.”
“It doesn’t matter, I’m not short of those.”
As he looked at her, the warmth in Leng Minxing’s smile deepened.
“More than those, I think you’re more important to me.” Luo Xi hugged him and nuzzled against him.
“Alright, then go change into the gown first.” Leng Minxing felt his heart melt at her words.
Luo Xi then excitedly headed to the sofa to open the gown package.
The dress was black, reaching her ankles, with straps that were elegant yet sexy. Under the lighting, it shimmered with tiny stars, making it stunningly beautiful.
She couldn’t wait to step into the fitting room to change. Luckily, she had brought some simple makeup with her. Luo Xi applied it in front of the mirror. In no time, her delicate features became even more striking.
