At the same time, Qi Jiu's appearance was similar. Although she was not as tall as Qi Silin, her attractive appearance and unique temperament also attracted the attention of many people.

With an air of nonchalance, her casual demeanor stood out in the crowd.

The two of them instantly became the most eye-catching people in the backyard; anyone who didn't know better would think there was a spotlight shining on them.

The girl pursed her lips, noticing the gazes of those around her.

"I won't go with you. You go ahead and attend your social engagements."

If the two of them were still together, they'd probably be stared at like aliens all night.

Qi Silin pursed his lips, somewhat reluctant, but finally nodded.

He had just left when Chu Cangyu and the others surrounded him.

"As expected of Miss Shen, you and Young Master Qi are dressed in just a coat for such a grand occasion? Godfather, look around."

Looking around, everyone was dressed formally. Men wore suits, and women wore evening gowns.

This seems to have become standard practice.

The girl glanced around before finally fixing her gaze on Jiang Xin in front of her.

Are you cold?

Jiang Xin was taken aback, then nodded somewhat shyly. "A little."

Although she was wearing He Qingfeng's suit jacket, it was still autumn, and the temperature was even lower at night. With a cool breeze blowing, it was even colder.

The dress was completely blown through by the wind in this situation, rendering it useless.

He Qingfeng frowned as he looked at her, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

The girl shrugged.

"Look, what's the use of looking good if you're the one suffering? I don't think this coat is unserious at all. I picked my most expensive coat, which is more expensive than my dress."

She had actually considered this issue before coming, but this was a seminar, not a banquet. There was no need to dress so flashy.

If this makes her prioritize style over warmth, she probably couldn't do it.

"That says exactly what I was thinking."

Suddenly, a somewhat aged voice came from behind them.

Turning around, they saw an elderly man in a Tang suit, with gray hair and a beard, leaning on a cane as he appeared in their sight.

He smiled kindly, his face crinkling with wrinkles.

The young woman looked at the tycoons around him and then at the bodyguards beside him, and immediately guessed the old man's identity.

This should be the head of the He family, Old Master He.

As expected, He Qingfeng, standing beside him, was taken aback, then said obediently, "Grandpa."

The old man waved his hand, his face full of smiles, and when his eyes swept over Jiang Xin, a hint of satisfaction was clearly visible. "If Xin Xin feels cold, I'll have Qingfeng bring you a hand warmer later, so you don't get cold."

He Qingfeng: "..."

Jiang Xin: "..."

Actually, there's no need to make it so obvious.

"Miss Qi, you must be the freshman girl Qingfeng mentioned?"

When Qingfeng first told him that A University had such a talent, they were really shocked. They had no idea that A University had such a talent, and even suspected that this guy was just teasing them.

But when He Qingfeng uttered Qi Jiu's name, he also fell into deep thought.

Although there was no college entrance exam, I still got a letter of introduction, and I really passed that old guy Wei Huan's test.

If this had happened to Qi Jiu, it wouldn't seem so unreasonable.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa He."

"Okay, okay."

Compared to the rumors circulating outside, Old Master He clearly preferred the person in front of him. The corners of his mouth never left his lips as he nodded and stroked his beard.

After saying a few words, Old Master He led his people aside to socialize.

This seminar, in addition to discussing issues, was also a way for them to foster relationships with their peers.

He Qingfeng looked at the girl and smiled, "It seems my guess was right, Grandpa still likes you quite a bit."

Polite and talented, it's hard for anyone not to like someone like that.

Although the old man didn't say it, many of the things that happened to Qi Jiu in City A were too fantastical. Even if you didn't intend to pay attention at first, you would unconsciously find out about them later.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "She does like me more, but she probably likes Jiang Xin even more."

They weren't mistaken about the look in Grandpa He's eyes just now; wasn't that the look he was giving his granddaughter-in-law?

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xin was stunned. The next second, her ears visibly turned red. As if to make the atmosphere less awkward, she made a lot of small movements with her hands.

He dared not look directly into Qi Jiu's eyes.

"Qiqi".

At that moment, a somewhat deep voice sounded behind Qi Jiu.

Everyone turned around and saw a man in a black coat, holding a glass of red wine, smiling at Qi Jiu.

“Ah Lin”.

Having met many times before, Qi Silin wasn't very familiar with He Qingfeng, Chu Cangyu, and the others, but he wasn't embarrassed at this moment.

"There are quite a few famous Chinese pharmacists at today's seminar. I've seen quite a few myself."

The man handed the girl his glass of red wine and said softly, "Drink less."

He Qingfeng has a lot to say on this point.

"After all, there are matters to be discussed this time, so the He family invited many authoritative pharmacists. The people here, apart from reporters, are all people related to pharmacists."

Qi Jiu didn't speak, her gaze sweeping around a few times.

Although we've hired quite a few pharmacists, only a handful are truly authoritative.

Is it a little? Actually, it's alright, but it's not a lot.

Suddenly, the previously harmonious banquet became noisy, even clamorous, as if some emergency had occurred.

When Qi Jiu and the others turned around, they saw that the pharmacists who had been chatting happily were now gathered together not far away, each of them with a look of anxiety on their faces.

"Senior?"

Looking at the serious expression on He Qingfeng's face, the girl seemed to realize that this matter was not simple.

"Excuse me, everyone, there's an emergency, I need to leave for a moment."

He Qingfeng put down his wine glass, glanced at Jiang Xin, and then jogged towards the crowd.

Qi Silin looked in that direction and pursed his lips. "It seems someone has fainted."

It has to be said, this person is really out of touch with reality. The He family lacks everything except a pharmacist.

Qi Jiu thought this matter would pass quickly, but seeing that the number of people over there was not decreasing but increasing, she narrowed her eyes.

Something doesn't seem right; things aren't that simple.

Finally, when Old Master He appeared, they realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait a moment, I'll go take a look."
