I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 485 Didn't...miss the wedding?

Amidst enthusiastic applause, two people slowly walked up from below. They were Zhou Heng's parents, Zhou Junyao and Liu Wei.

However, the two of them walked onto the stage hand in hand.

At this moment, Yin Mengran was sitting in the audience, surrounded by familiar friends. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but smile.

The two stood in the center of the stage, and the host handed the microphone to Zhou Junyao before standing to the side.

"Um... Hello everyone, I am Zhou Junyao. Thank you all for coming to this annual meeting today. Looking back on the past year, our company has achieved remarkable results. These achievements are inseparable from the strong support and unremitting efforts of all of you. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who are here today."

Zhou Junyao's voice wasn't loud, but it was very imposing. When he spoke, the entire room was silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

He didn't finish speaking until the applause broke out.

Next, Liu Wei spoke. She spoke in a gentler tone, which made her less intimidating and more pleasant to listen to.

After they finished speaking, they were met with enthusiastic applause. Then they handed the microphone back to the host and left the stage.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu, for your speeches and blessings. Next, I will introduce the agenda for this annual meeting."

The host outlined the annual meeting's schedule, which included awarding the best employee, performances, a raffle, games, and a banquet.

"Alright, that concludes the entire program for our annual meeting. Now, let's welcome our first performance! It's the opening dance performed by Tang Zhi, Secretary Tang, from Junheng Group! Please give her a round of applause!"

"Wow!" Yin Mengran and the others cheered and clapped, looking very excited.

"boom--"

In an instant, all the lights went out, plunging the venue into darkness...

The next second, a rhythmic musical intro came from the surround sound system!

A spotlight shone on the center of the stage, where Tang Zhi appeared, stunning everyone in her sexy and beautiful dance costume!

Another cheer erupted from the crowd, with some even shouting "Secretary Tang! Secretary Tang!"

Yin Mengran looked over and indeed saw some people holding up light boards in Tang Zhi's name, cheering as if they were watching a concert.

"Shh!"

The spotlight on the stage expanded, and behind Tang Zhi were four backup dancers. They were dressed in the same costumes, complementing each other and instantly elevating the overall stage effect by several levels.

As the music reached its drumbeat, Tang Zhi began to dance. The prelude was gentle and soothing, making Tang Zhi's movements graceful. Her light and lithe figure was like an incredibly agile butterfly; every movement was fluid, natural, and full of endless beauty...

Meanwhile, the four backup dancers closely followed Tang Zhi's rhythm and movements, either surrounding her or intertwining with her in dance, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene...

"boom!"

With a precise beat, the music shifted style, propelling it to its climax, filled with rhythmic energy.

Tang Zhi, standing in the center of the stage, and her backup dancers seemed to be on the same wavelength, instantly adjusting their postures.

Their dance steps became powerful and rhythmic, each movement as swift and rapid as a storm, yet still elegant and graceful...

Wow! So handsome! Oh!

In the stands, Yin Mengran and several other girls couldn't help but scream; they were practically mesmerized by Tang Zhi...

Especially when they saw Tang Zhi's cool and handsome face reflected on the big screen, they were completely captivated. Not only Yin Mengran and the other girls, but also other girls, all became fangirls at this moment, wishing they could wave glow sticks wildly right now.

Standing by the window of the VIP room, Zhou Heng watched Tang Zhi's performance below and smiled. He knew that having Tang Zhi open the show was the right choice; she could instantly heat up the atmosphere.

At that moment, he seemed to be clutching something in his hand, clenching it tightly, biting his lip, and muttering, "I hope nothing unexpected happens..."

"boom--"

As a deep, resonant note echoed throughout the venue, the music ended. Tang Zhi stopped dancing, finishing her last pose, and stood center stage, panting...

She was drenched in sweat; it had been a long time since she'd danced, and she hadn't expected it to be so tiring. She felt her stamina had been declining lately...

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, expressing their approval of Tang Zhi and her team's performance. Many people even stood up to show their support, repeatedly calling out "Secretary Tang."

"call--"

Tang Zhi bowed slightly and left the stage. Her opening performance was now successfully completed, and the atmosphere in the venue was electric; everyone was incredibly excited.

Tang Zhi's friends need no further explanation; they all seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely, experiencing a slight tingling of excitement.

Teacher Wang also recorded the dance, and after sending it to someone, she picked up her phone and sent a voice message: "Hey, look at this, these are my former students, look how talented they are..."

Yin Mengran stood up and said to Yu Lingxue beside her, "I'm going backstage to find Tang Zhi! I'll be back in a bit!"

She couldn't control herself anymore; she wanted to see Tang Zhi, like a fan chasing after a celebrity.

So she left the audience and went backstage.

As soon as she entered the backstage area, surrounded by so many people, she searched high and low before finally finding Tang Zhi sitting there resting.

At this moment, Tang Zhi was holding a walkie-talkie, talking to someone...

"Tang Zhi!"

Yin Mengran called out and quickly went over.

Tang Zhi looked up and saw Yin Mengran walking towards her, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment...

"Hey...you, what are you doing here? Weren't you in the audience?"

"I've come to see you! Your performance was amazing!" Yin Mengran smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tang Zhi.

"Ahaha... Is that so? Wait a moment."

After Tang Zhi finished speaking, she turned around and took a few steps forward, distancing herself from Yin Mengran. She then spoke softly into the walkie-talkie:

"Resume plan A! Please respond upon receipt!"

"【Received.】"

Yin Mengran looked at Tang Zhi's back with a little surprise, but considering how busy Tang Zhi was and how many things she had to manage, she wasn't surprised.

"Ranran?! Ranran, are you there?"

Suddenly, at that moment, calls came from the backstage entrance.

Yin Mengran heard the sound, turned around and saw the person at the door, which made her gasp in surprise.

"Auntie...Auntie?! What brings you here?!"

Yin Mengran never expected that the person who had just called her was actually her aunt abroad, Song Wan!

"Eh?"

Tang Zhi also returned at this moment and came to Yin Mengran's side. She saw Song Wan and felt that she looked very familiar...

Upon seeing Yin Mengran, Song Wan smiled, quickly ran over, and took Yin Mengran's hand.

"Sorry, sorry! I'm late! I got the news and immediately boarded a plane. I hope I didn't miss the wedding?"

"!!!"

Tang Zhi stood to the side, her eyes suddenly widening.

Yin Mengran looked completely bewildered and stammered:

"Wh...what wedding?"
