Su Ran handed over all the subsequent rewards to Su Jia, so she only needed to be a hands-off manager and let the tall guy handle everything.

She likes to lie down, so she's not considered tall.

She paid no attention to the discussions of others. Su Qingjiu stepped forward and handed over the invitation.

"Miss, this is an invitation from Old Master Song in Kyoto. It's his 70th birthday. Would you like to go?"

Su Ran took the invitation, glanced at the time, and seemed to remember something. "How was the auction over there?"

"The two events don't clash, but the timing is a bit tight. Miss, are you going to postpone this birthday banquet?"

Su Ran shook her head. "Let's go back to China for the banquet."

She definitely had to attend Grandpa Song's birthday banquet, since she would be extremely busy afterwards. "I'll go over there and be a lucky old man with the blessings of fortune, prosperity, and longevity as a birthday gift."

Old Master Song treated her well, so she was generous with gifts.

...

Kyoto.

Do you think Sister Ran will come? It's been so long since we've all gotten together.

Wen Wen leaned against the railing and casually peeled an orange, handing it to Lin Ruanruan beside him.

Shen Yu placed his hands on the railing. Many people had already arrived downstairs, but that person had not yet come.

Jiang Zheng yawned from the side, "Sister Ran, you must be super busy lately, right?"

"Not long ago, during the clinical trials of the Trp reagent, Ran Jie had been following up on the previous phases of the Phase IV clinical trials. She finally had a chance to relax and went to northern Myanmar to clear her head, but she ended up helping the police take down a den."

"KK just disappeared into the annals of history, Chen Qiang was sentenced to death, and many others were sentenced to life imprisonment. With such a great achievement, was Sister Ran really just going to northern Myanmar to rest?"

"Is she going to northern Myanmar to boost her sales performance? She's practically China's model worker!"

The people around fell silent for a moment, after all, what Jiang Zheng said was indeed true.

They were completely unaware until today's official reports on the internet revealed that Sister Ran had gone to northern Myanmar to boost her sales.

The number of people attending Old Master Song's banquet was much greater than in previous years. Jiang Yan, the heir of the Jiang family in Kyoto, Wen Chengze, the eldest son of the Wen family, and the three Shen brothers all came. Chen Yuye, who was busy 365 days a year, also came to Old Master Song's birthday banquet.

Even the Grand Commander Fu Rongzhi came to offer his birthday wishes, and Xiao Sheng, the eldest son of a political figure, also came with gifts from his elders.

Everyone was amazed that so many big names had attended Old Master Song's birthday banquet.

These people are all designated heirs, representing the family's will.

Song Nian, standing beside Wen Wen, noticed the group of people opposite them; they were not the same kind of people as them.

If they are the children their parents always talk about who never studies well, then the group opposite them are the "other people's children" that their parents always talk about.

Why did that group of people come?

They all grew up in the same compound, but not everyone in the compound played together. The older ones were basically the big brothers in the compound, and they didn't dare to hang out with these kinds of people.

Seeing the lavish setup of the birthday banquet, Jiang Zheng silently shook his head, "Isn't this a bit too high-class?"

Not to mention those few, even the elders were a bit dumbfounded.

The eldest daughter of the Yan family has also come here, and even the Miss Xing from the family of doctors has come, but she is with Xiao Sheng.

Shen Yu glanced over there; his two older brothers were there, but he didn't go over, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lin Ruanruan went over there to say hello and then came over to eat her food next to Wen Wen.

The group on the other side, after placing their birthday gifts and wishing Old Master Song a happy birthday, found a spot, seemingly waiting for someone.

Xiao Sheng and his friends gathered together, surrounded by people they had played with as children or whose families had connections.

Fu Rongzhi and Chen Yuye's arrival was unexpected for Xiao Sheng. After all, these two were always busy all year round, and it was surprising that they had the leisure to come and attend a birthday banquet.

Jiang Yan, who never attends any banquets, unexpectedly came here today. Shen Zhili, who was standing next to him, was probably there because of his family's request, so it was understandable.

But what about these two young ladies?

Xiao Sheng's gaze was indifferent. These two young ladies had grown up together since childhood, so he knew their personalities to some extent.

The presence of Miss Yan, who has fully taken over the family business, and Miss Xing, from a pharmaceutical family who is indifferent to worldly affairs and only cares about making pharmaceuticals, is rather abrupt.

It's a mystery why Bo Sihan, who lives on the first floor, came here. How did the usually busy young master Bo, who never attends any banquets, end up here?

For someone?

They didn't communicate much, each minding their own business and having fun.

Jiang Yan, standing next to Shen Zhili, clicked his tongue twice when he saw the group of people on the second floor. "I never thought I'd see such a luxurious setup."

Shen Zhili remained silent, only smiling slightly. "Perhaps it's because you're waiting for someone?"

Jiang Yan understood what her friend meant. "Are you talking about Su Ran?"

Thinking of this person's recent great deeds, he nodded somewhat sincerely, "If it's her, then it certainly makes sense."

"Then the appearance of this young master Xiao is clear. His elders called him in to test Su Ran's attitude. After all, it would be a loss for the country to lose such a legendary, intelligent and capable person."

Shen Zhili did not reply. It seemed that everyone's mind was not on the birthday person at this banquet, but rather on using the occasion to see other people.

Everyone knows Su Ran's abilities, so Xiao Sheng's arrival was probably to test her attitude. After all, China doesn't need a technical talent who would betray the country.

...

On the other hand, Su Ran landed in Kyoto quite late, and by the time she arrived at the banquet, it was already almost halfway through.

As soon as she entered the gate, she saw Xiaosheng about to leave.

Xiao Sheng originally thought he wouldn't be able to wait for Su Ran, so he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Actually, it wasn't just Xiaosheng who was leaving; the others were also preparing to leave, but they all planned to leave after Xiaosheng left first.

Xiao Sheng looked at the person who appeared in front of him. She was dressed simply and had no makeup on her face, but she was still too beautiful to be noticed.

Su Ran looked at Xiao Sheng, who was about to leave, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng immediately shook his head, "I'm not leaving, I just wanted to get some fresh air."

Su Ran didn't believe Xiao Sheng's answer, but she didn't ask any further questions. She led her people to Old Master Song and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, Old Master Song, something came up and I'm late for your birthday banquet."

Old Song looked at Su Ran with a kind expression and nodded with some satisfaction, "It's alright that you're late, it's good that you came at all!"

After all, many people in China know about her actions. Mr. Song admires her courage and bravery, but he is also worried about her, since she is just a young girl.

Su Ran smiled and handed over the birthday gift, "Mr. Song, I wish you a long and healthy life, and that you live to be a hundred years old with good hearing and eyesight, free from worries."
