WEDDING NIGHT: I BECAME THE FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER AND MARRIED THE VILLAIN!

Chapter 240: Drunken

The secretary would be responsible for a wide variety of menial tasks, including compiling the annual meeting attendance list. Naturally, he would have a strong understanding of the situation.

“President Lu,” he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond, “Ms, Luo Ying was also invited to the annual meeting. They perhaps they're just curious.”

For lack of a better word, this was the only way he could have put his words. This group of people were courting death to gawk so openly.

Luo Ying! She was here?

Lu Zhao couldnt be bothered with anything else. He wanted to bolt up and swivel around to look for Luo Ying almost immediately, but his remaining sense of reason held him back.

“I see.” Lu Zhao spoke with restraint.

Luo Ying? When did she return to the country? Why would she come here? Lu Zhao's fingers quickly tapped on the table. He always did this when he felt anxious.

The days leading up to the annual party were already extremely hectic. Coupled with the fact that he was dealing with the Lu family's issues, he couldn't focus his attention on the annual party, so he didnt put much effort into it. He didnt invite anyone specifically, nor did he pay close attention to who was invited.

He had no idea that the woman he had been thinking about all day and night might be in one of the many seats behind him.

Yes, he had a stake in Luo Ying's studio as well. Perhaps his subordinate had invited Luo Ying for this reason.

Even after realizing this, Lu Zhao's anxiety levels remained high.

He wanted to see Luo Ying and ask her how she was doing recently. He wanted to tell her that he had been forced into the divorce. He wanted to tell her that he had always loved her and wanted to hold her soft waist. However…

“President Lu! A toast to you!” Lu Zhao came back to his senses. The annual meeting had already begun. The host was on stage livening up the atmosphere. He had no idea what they were talking about, but a familiar executive was picking up a glass of wine to toast him.

“Manager Wang, you did a great job during the last quarter…” Lu Zhao calmly raised his wine glass and entertained the man.

After the first person spoke up, an endless stream of executives came to toast Lu Zhao.

Perhaps it was because he had something on his mind, but Lu Zhao did not reject anyone. He drank glass after glass without hesitation. He didnt even give his secretary time to block the wine for him.

Even with a high tolerance for alcohol, Lu Zhao could not remain upright after three rounds of drinking on an empty stomach. The edges of his awareness started to blur as well.

When his vision cleared, he appeared to see the secretary and public relations director's worried expressions.

“What should we do, Old Wu?” The secretary looked at the director helplessly.

All of these trusted assistants had been personally promoted by Lu Zhao. Realizing that Lu Zhao's intoxication posed a threat to everyone, they scrambled to come up with an excuse for him to leave.

Thankfully, after so many years in power, Lu Zhao had honed his abilities to the point where nobody could tell if he was sober or drunk. He did not show any weaknesses. He was almost in perfect stride as his secretary accompanied him to the lounge.

Even now, when he was drunk and lying on the chair, he appeared to be napping.

But the secretary was at a loss for what to do next when President Lu sat down and refused to get up. He kept mentioning Luo Ying!

“Let Ms. Luo Ying come and see President Lu. If she comes, he might be willing to move. Regardless, she has already received an invitation. What harm is there in them meeting?” The public relations director boldly suggested.

“You've got a fantastic knack for creativity, I must say.” The secretary rolled his eyes. “When he wakes up, we'd all be jobless. We dont even know if he wants to see her.”

“Luo Ying?” Lu Zhao muttered again after hearing their conversation.

“Look at him. If he's calling for her nonstop, we'll just do as he says. He can't fire us for that. He might even give us bonuses.” The public relations director smiled and rubbed his clean-shaven scalp. He had been by Lu Zhao's side for so many years. When had he ever misstepped? “You were there when he asked me to write the divorce announcement. Dont you remember?”

The secretary, of course, remembered. He remembered not only this, but also that Lu Zhao had been injecting resources into Luo Ying's studio for the past few years. He also recalled that Lu Zhao had been keeping tabs on Luo Ying's movements. In a nutshell, he was madly in love with her.

“Tsk.” The secretary frowned and thought for a moment. President Lu's drunken state was a massive issue. Would he even be able to walk?

There were far too many people in the company during the annual meeting. They couldnt carry Lu Zhao out like they did ordinary drunks. It would seriously harm the company's image.

More importantly, the secretary wished to leave the annual meeting early. He couldnt possibly stay by Lu Zhao's side all night, could he? Nevertheless, making decisions for the leader or without authorization was a major taboo in the workplace!

The secretary sighed after a brief moment of hesitation. “Find Ms. Luo Ying and ask her to talk some sense into President Lu.”

“Ms. Luo Ying is already on her way.” The director smiled and waved his phone.

“Seriously? When did you call?” The secretary frowned again..
