Chapter 285: Proposal

This idea made the two of them clap and cheer.

Oh dear, my brother-in-law is so hard to find even with a lantern—let alone my younger sister, I myself would hardly dare to marry him!

Hahaha, get lost!

Wang Zhen gave him a punch from the side.

The plan has been launched; the rest requires cooperation from all parties to implement.

During this period, Wang Yingna knew nothing of it, busy all day with the factory's business.

The things Liu Jiang brought back were placed at the timber trading base, the only place Wang Yingna would not go.

Over the next week, Li Jiaci prepared for the proposal and rarely showed up in front of her.

The day of the proposal arrived.

Liu Jiang took Wang Yingna out driving on the pretext of inspecting the factory.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wanting hurriedly brought the proposal attire and urged Li Jiaci to change into it quickly.

The factory workers had all been notified, lining up early at the gate, ready to board the vehicles.

Today is the grand opening ceremony of the timber trading base.

Li Jiaci needed to prepare the opening speech and the proposal letter, and he kept reciting the letter's contents on the way out.

At the same time, the vehicles that were supposed to head to the branch factory suddenly turned around and drove toward the urban area.

Wang Yingna sat in the passenger seat, suspiciously asking, "Liu Jiang, did you take a wrong turn? This isn't the way to the branch factory!"

"Sister-in-law, today the timber trading base is opening; I want to go join the fun. Don't tell my brother—let's sneak in, hide in the crowd, and he won't notice."

Liu Jiang gave a slick explanation.

Upon hearing that, Wang Yingna clicked her tongue and said, "Then take a quick look and hurry back—don't delay the factory inspection!"

"Sure, I'll definitely listen to my sister-in-law!"

Liu Jiang's plan succeeded, and he showed no flaw.

When the car arrived at the timber trading base, the opening ceremony had already been underway for half an hour.

Liu Jiang brought Wang Yingna into the crowd; she watched the lively scene on stage and saw Li Jiaci in a suit delivering the opening speech, her face filled with pride.

Her man is now the most famous entrepreneur in Pingzhou and even all of Huaguo.

Her brother is also a representative figure of Huaguo's charitable endeavors.

One could say they have gained both fame and profit.

Their life is getting better and more hopeful.

Around them rose waves of enthusiastic applause, while hundreds of media reporters below frantically clicked their shutters.

Changshulin, Li Jiaci, and Wang Zhen stood on stage and cut the ribbon.

This scene quickly made the headlines of major news outlets.

Over three thousand people participated in the opening ceremony, with many more still on their way.

Wang Yingna felt the time was about right, worried that traffic might block their exit, so she urged Liu Jiang, "Alright, the opening ceremony is almost over—let's head back!"

"Sister-in-law, just watch a bit longer—I heard there will be a lottery later, and I got two tickets; this one is yours!"

Liu Jiang handed a number plate to Wang Yingna.

It displayed the number 520.

At this time, the meme of 520 had not yet become popular.

Wang Yingna looked at the number, didn't think much of it, and even felt that with so many people present, she surely wouldn't win.

She looked at Li Jiaci on stage, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Your brother today is dressed… a bit too showy!"

"What's showy? The whole nation is watching—wearing gold and silver is not excessive!"

Liu Jiang, afraid of giving it away early, hurriedly explained.

"Besides, today is an important day for him; dressing more solemnly is also a sign of respect for the occasion!"

Wang Yingna nodded.

The lottery ceremony began quickly, with Changshulin drawing a lucky winner from the box to come on stage and receive the prize.

Wang Yingna, who had not held out hope, suddenly clenched the number plate in her hand.

"What if!"

"What if I win!"

Wang Yingna was secretly thinking, completely unaware that Liu Jiang, who had just been clapping and cheering beside her, had suddenly vanished.

To increase the fun, Changshulin plunged his hand into the box, deliberately keeping the crowd in suspense, and took a long time to pull out a number.

Wang Yingna couldn't help but complain, "What are you doing? Hurry up and draw!"

The people around also started to clamor.

She never imagined that, in fact, many factory workers were hidden among the surrounding crowd.

They had been watching Wang Yingna the whole time.

At that moment, Changshulin, pressured by the enthusiasm below, drew a number.

"I drew number 520—congratulations to this lucky winner, you will receive the opening ceremony's lucky gift; please come on stage, lucky number 520!"

Wang Yingna looked at her number plate in disbelief, then exclaimed, "Wow! It's really me!"

Just as she was excited, the crowd before her suddenly began to move.

Centering on her, the crowd parted to either side, making a path.

Wang Yingna raised her head, somewhat surprised, "Is my voice really that loud?"

"How does everyone know she's number 520?"

"No……"

Wait!

Wang Yingna's gaze moved downward, looking at the red carpet laid out on this path, and she couldn't help but be startled.

The red carpet just reached her feet, as if it had been specially laid for her.

Wang Yingna turned back to look for Liu Jiang's figure; could it be that this brat teamed up with Li Jiaci to arrange this on purpose?

On this joyous occasion, the lottery prize went to one of our own!

Thinking of this, Wang Yingna felt a bit embarrassed.

She stood there with a red face for a while, not moving.

Or someone behind pushed her a bit, forcing her to walk onto the red carpet.

"Damn it, Li Jiaci is really too good at causing trouble!"

Wang Yingna slowly walked onto the stage.

She glared fiercely at the smiling Li Jiaci.

Li Jiaci's smile froze; what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?

If you're in a bad mood, I'll make you happy enough later!

Wang Yingna approached Changshulin, awkwardly touching her hair.

Accepting this prize, she felt guilty.

Changshulin smiled without speaking, and from behind the box presented a delicate gift box.

"Congratulations, number 520!"

Wang Yingna reached out to take it, opened the box and looked inside.

Inside was a beautiful gauze dress.

What's going on?

Wang Yingna's mind felt a bit dazed.

Wang Zhen took Wang Yingna's hand, laughing, and said: "Little sis, this is the lucky prize you drew; let's go backstage to change into it and knock them dead!"

"Change now? Is that necessary?"

Wang Yingna continued to be surprised.

"Mayor personally gave this to you, and there are so many media down below waiting; don't let me down!"

"Oh..."

The two siblings went to the backstage changing room.

I didn't expect that here not only could we change clothes, but there were also professional makeup artists and stylists.

About half an hour later.

Wang Yingna dressed up like a fairy and returned to the stage.

She was too shy to lift her head, and the venue's music suddenly turned into a romantic love song.

In her shock, she lifted her head and realized that the stage and audience had already become a sea of romantic roses.

The crowd retreated to over fifty meters away, and the media reporters' flashlights kept focusing and flashing here.

Li Jiaci held a pair of rings in his hand, kneeling on one knee.

"Little Na..."

"You're not going to propose, are you?"

"I was preparing..."

"Holy cow, you guys teamed up today to mess with me!"

"..."
