Chapter 106: Meeting New People

At noon, guests came and went in the state banquet hall.

As soon as Zhou Jihuai entered, people frequently greeted him. Wen Zhile walked beside him, smiling all the way. She didn't know many people, but she got to know most of them along the way.

——Every time he met someone, Zhou Jihuai would introduce them to her in a low voice.

When we were almost at the door of the private room, an old man in a Mao suit came towards us, followed by his secretary, and behind the secretary were two plainclothes guards, and behind the guards were three middle-aged men who had come out of the same private room. The group followed respectfully.

Zhou Jihuai gave Jiang Zhaochu a look, and Jiang Zhaochu nodded.

"Ji Huai?" The old man looked over here.

Zhou Jihuai walked over and said, "Master Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still in good health."

The old man laughed twice and looked at Jiang Zhao.

Zhou Jihuai said: "This is Jiang Zhao."

Jiang Zhao greeted politely.

The old man understood and said, "Xiao Jiang has come all the way here, you should treat him well."

"He was welcomed right after he was born."

The old man patted his shoulder and then looked at Wen Zhile: "This little girl looks unfamiliar."

"My friend." Zhou Jihuai leaned over and whispered a few words.

"Hahaha, hello, Comrade Xiao Wen."

Even though Wen Zhile was not politically sensitive, she knew the man in front of her. She was smiling, so she smiled and said, "Hello."

"Where does Xiao Wen go to school?"

Although the old man has an easy-going attitude, he has a very strong aura.

Wen Zhile answered obediently: "At Jingzhou University."

"Like Ji Huai, both are smart students." The old man looked at Zhou Ji Huai with a teasing look.

Zhou Jihuai's ears turned red: "You have a busy schedule this afternoon, don't miss your rest time because of us."

The old man smiled and said, "I'm leaving now. You, come back and bring Xiao Wen home for dinner."

Zhou Jihuai agreed and watched them leave.

The manager came back after a while and took them to the private room: "Comrade Zhou, hello, you haven't been here for a while."

"I've been busy lately." Zhou Jihuai introduced Wen Zhile, "This is my sister. If she comes by herself in the future, she can put the bill on my account and we can settle it together when I come."

The manager smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Wen Zhile thought it was possible, and then said, "No, brother, I'll pay the bill myself." If she came by herself, it would be good enough for her to be able to come in.

Zhou Jihuai had not expected that she would agree to spend her own money on the meal. His purpose was to tell the manager that Zhizhi was his and that he could not stop her from dining at the state banquet hall in the future.

"This one is better than Wangjing Pavilion. You can come here often in the future."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Wen Zhile had eaten here with her uncle in her previous life. The cooking skills of the descendants of Chef Yu were indeed not exaggerated, they were quite good.

As expected, Jiang Zhao did not mention business during the meal. They ate and chatted, only talking about life and the decoration of the disco. After the meal, Wen Zhile did not go home. She went to Mudan Hutong.

After the suspect was arrested, Qu Jinghong moved back to the hutong.

Zhou Jihuai drove her there and stopped at the entrance of the alley: "Zhizhi, I won't go in. Tell grandma that I'll go see her when I'm not busy."

It would take him 40 to 50 minutes to drive back to the Southern Military District, so he should not delay.

"Okay. By the way, brother, I'm returning this card to you. I was busy a while ago and forgot to return it." The girl took out the bank card that Zhou Jihuai had given her before.

Zhou Jihuai glanced at it, took it calmly and put it in his jacket pocket, thinking that it would come back whenever he wanted, and it would return to Zhizhi's hands sooner or later anyway.

Wen Zhile then got off the car carrying his things.

The man rolled down the window: "Call me when you get home."

The little girl smiled softly.

She walked to the end of the alley carrying the big crabs and a bag of grapes she bought on the road. Qu Jinghong and his neighbors happened to be chatting at the door.

Wen Zhile called someone and heard her grandmother ask, "How did Zhizhi get here?"

"Zhou Jihuai brought me here. Grandma, has Uncle Li at the entrance of the alley been discharged from the hospital?"

"He was just discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday, and he asked you about it when he came back."
