Honestly, she’d rather play the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and husband were all attending the gala, the whole family was going, so how could she not go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Zhong Wanshu hadn’t appeared in public for over a decade, and everyone assumed she was dead. Now she’s suddenly reappearing, what if someone picked on her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to go and protect the beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xia Weibao nodded, \"Alright then, let’s go and have some fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, she had control of the accounts, she could play the game anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Corporation was involved in numerous industries and had a lot of spokespersons. They would select a few representative ones to attend; so many actresses were hoping for this opportunity, yet she just said she was going to have fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, since his is hers, saying she’s going to have fun is reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Lu Corporation has been unstable, its stock almost hit the limit down, and the entire company was in a state of panic. The president, who was the core figure, had no responses at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were worried whether the company would go bankrupt or if they’d face an unemployment crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Corporation had such good benefits, they definitely didn’t want to lose this job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst these circumstances, the year-end gala was upon them. Everyone thought with the company’s situation, it wouldn’t be held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it happened, it would be small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they didn’t expect Lu Hualiang to order it to be grand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left everyone bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first order the big boss had given since the company was hit. It wasn’t to save the company, but to host a grand year-end gala?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though puzzled, since the order from above was given, they naturally didn’t dare to question it and started preparing for the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Yang Liu had already begun organizing it a week ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Lu Corporation’s year-end gala day arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venue was set at the largest hotel under Lu Corporation, also the largest hotel in Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what Lu Hualiang intended. In the past, Lu Corporation’s year-end gala would book one floor and invite employees from the main company and heads from major subsidiaries to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the entire Imperial City Hotel was shut down for use as the banquet venue, inviting notable figures from various industries to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its scale was even grander than Old Chief Fang’s last birthday banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was scratching their heads, not understanding what Lu Hualiang intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if puzzled, they were still excited about the Lu Corporation’s year-end gala.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huaxia’s largest group’s year-end gala, they couldn’t even get an invitation in the past, yet this time it’s open to everyone. If they could seize this opportunity to connect with Lu Corporation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Corporation seemed to be in a slump now, they all understood it was temporary. Hadn’t they noticed Lu Hualiang hadn’t made a move yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those invited were the Yan Family, but the tension between the Yan Family and the Lu Family was quite high recently, so it’s estimated they wouldn’t attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day, everyone was discussing this unprecedentedly grand gala, some debating what dress to wear, and even more speculating about the gala’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Xia Weibao knew that Lu Hualiang was welcoming Zhong Wanshu’s recovery and return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Hualiang didn’t say it out loud, she knew he was someone who valued family greatly, whether it was Zhong Wanshu or Lu Huashan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, not really, with Zhong Wanshu for sure, but as for Lu Huashan, that was debatable.\u003C\u002Fp>",628,"2026-06-06T16:22:17.477Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a40751c4bcd13c3f1ff61b623d3b291032abe867af383f1e1e71b672c76508e","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1189","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1187",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
