Chapter 272: Chapter 272: To Rise in Position, Accompany Someone...

In order to respect every guest, there were no names written on the dining tables, and everyone was free to sit where they liked.

However, the dining area was divided into two zones.

One was at the front, and the other was at the back. The front area had a few separate tables designated for the senior executives of the Ji Group, the employees receiving awards tonight, and other special guests.

Lin Zhi had been notified earlier that she would be seated at the front, so she found an inconspicuous spot at one of the front tables and sat down.

"Why is she sitting over there?!" Zhou Yutian exclaimed from not far away, looking puzzled.

"She’s an employee under the Ji Group." Zhou Yi explained, already aware that Lin Zhi was working as a doctor at the hospital managed by Ji Feifan.

He hadn’t realized her professional capabilities were so strong and that she was quite famous in the hospital.

No wonder Ji Feifan had the sales manager give her a discount when she went house-hunting.

It turned out to be an employee benefit.

That had made him think there was something between her and Ji Feifan.

This was also why he hadn’t sought out Lin Zhi recently; because she wasn’t as impressive as he had imagined, nor did she have connections with the Ji Family.

She was just an employee of the Ji Family after all.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yutian cheered up, "I knew it, how could she have the qualifications to attend? She’s just an employee."

"Let’s not bother about her. Let’s find a place to sit," Annie said indifferently, vaguely disliking their constant discussion about Lin Zhi’s actions.

Zhou Yi looked down at her tenderly, "Alright, let’s find a seat and sit down. Your shoes are too high today; you must be tired."

Annie also displayed a tender smile, "Hmm, let’s sit over there."

She deliberately chose a spot far from Lin Zhi.

Zhou Yi had no objections; he was very considerate of her. In their usual interactions, it was almost always her will that prevailed.

Annie felt that she could never find another man who treated her better than he did.

...

Gradually, many guests arrived.

The table where Lin Zhi sat also filled up, though she didn’t know anyone there. Right, there was also a pregnant woman at their table; maybe it was occupational, but it seemed like wherever she went, she could spot pregnant women.

Just like a mother with children, wherever she goes, she seems to see children with their parents.

It was mainly just a matter of where their attention was focused.

As for Liancheng and the others, they arrived just as the evening was starting, taking their seats right at the center in the front.

Lin Zhi didn’t greet them, nor did they make any special effort to greet her when they saw her.

This was quite fine, to avoid becoming the center of everyone’s attention.

The program for the evening was typical: leaders giving speeches, stars performing on stage, employees receiving awards, followed by more performances by stars...

Of course, everyone enjoyed the food while watching the performances.

Oh wow, listening to stars sing live is pretty enjoyable.

It was only when Lan Linglong came on stage that Lin Zhi began to pay serious attention; prior to that, she was mostly eating...

"I heard Lan Linglong has an illegitimate child, is that true?" someone at Lin Zhi’s table whispered, starting to gossip.

"I’ve heard that too. It seems the child belongs to a certain director. Lan Linglong, in order to climb up in her career, had slept with him..."

"Oh, she comes off as quite proud; I didn’t expect her to be that kind of person."

"In the entertainment industry, how many are clean?"

"True, I even heard that she..."

"Lan Linglong is actually quite nice." Suddenly, the pregnant woman, who had been quietly eating just like Lin Zhi, spoke up.
