Chapter 266: Unforgettable Reward I
Three days later, it was time for the company annual dinner.
President Huo had always been generous with his employees and this year was no exception.
All the staff members were guaranteed a six-month bonus on top of whatever awards they won.
The reward for outstanding and exemplary employees came in the form of centrally located huge mansions!
Lu Zhaoyang was wearing the evening dress that Lin Yazhi had prepared for her as she sat before the dresser. It was a lilac strapless dress paired with black heels.
Huo Yunting was wearing an all-black custom made suit and bow tie. He stood beside her and watched as she put on her makeup.
Lin Yazhi has good taste. The dress and heels look elegant and tasteful. Of course, my wife is the one who’s the most beautiful of all.
Lu Zhaoyang looked at the love mark on her collarbone and sighed inside.
She had reminded him a few nights ago to avoid leaving any marks, but the man simply could not control himself.
The dress was beautiful but the love mark…
She could only cover it up with a concealer. She threw a look of annoyance at him through the mirror.
Huo Yunting noticed her lance and smiled. “You can’t blame me, I can’t help myself.”
Later, they arrived at the dinner venue, a six star hotel, together. Lu Zhaoyang put an arm around his as they walked on the red carpet at the entrance. The people around them took photos as they walked.
Lu Zhaoyang smiled politely but the cold winter breeze made her shudder.
The man beside her picked up his pace and she followed him gratefully.
Soon after their arrival, Huo Yunting found himself surrounded by all the higher level managers for a toast.
Lu Zhaoyang left him to his role and got herself a glass of fruit juice.
The ballroom was already crowded. A spicy dance routine was happening onstage.
Soon, the guests were ushered to their tables and dinner was served.
When it was time for the lucky draw, Lu Zhaoyang did not move from her seat.
She did not want to draw anything for fear of Huo Yunting manipulating the results and making a fool out of her.
“Why are you not going? Are you not interested in the grand prize?” Huo Yunting spoke to her suddenly.
She replied coldly, “I’m not interested in winning any lucky draw prize. You should just give me the outstanding employee award considering how much I did for you and your company.”
Huo Yunting found something amusing with her reply. He lowered his voice and said, “What you did for me and my company? You always come in late for work and talk back to me. More importantly, you left without applying for leave to go overseas with my uncle. If I give you the outstanding employee award, then something is very wrong with Thunderbolt Corp.”
“…” Lu Zhaoyang’s heart sank. She could say nothing to defend herself.
Nevertheless, she knew now that the outstanding employee award was not meant for her.
Lu Zhaoyang suddenly dragged Lin Yazhi onstage with her to draw something from the lucky draw box. Since she could not have the mansion, she should at least get something out of this event!
Huo Yunting watched as she put one hand into the box.
He wondered what her expression would be like when she saw her prize.
Indeed, he had manipulated the lucky draw results.
Lu Zhaoyang pulled out an exquisitely made card from the box but did not open it immediately.
When they had left the stage, Lin Yazhi immediately snatched the card from her to read it. Her expression changed instantly!
When she recovered herself, she pulled Lu Zhaoyang by the arm and left the ballroom.
Lu Zhaoyang stumbled along. Why did Lin Yazhi look so shocked? Had she drawn the grand prize?
