Mother Shen hummed and pointed to the banner hanging in the hall.
"We hadn't planned to hold a party originally, but Old Shen said it was a rare opportunity for the child to bring honor to the country, and since today is the weekend, we decided to have a good time."
When saying this, Mother Shen did not lower her voice, and everyone in the hall heard it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si also looked over.
The banner is very eye-catching and the content on it is clear at a glance.
Jiang Si didn't have much reaction after reading it. It was just a failure, nothing strange about it.
Instead, Huo Tingzhou calmly put his arm around her shoulders.
Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
"I'm fine. I'm not uncomfortable."
Feeling his silent comfort, Jiang Si looked at him and smiled brightly.
"Designing is a job that relies on your own skills. I'm not as skilled as others, so it's only natural that I wasn't selected."
After the words fell, Jiang Si suddenly looked over and asked, "Have you known about this for a long time?"
She said that from the old house to the Beijing Hotel, he could just cross the street in front, but he insisted on taking a long detour.
Huo Tingzhou nodded.
In fact, he had been paying attention to this matter ever since the design drawings were submitted to the organizing committee of the Ministry of Construction.
The night before the direct departure, Huo's mother called back.
"Mom is worried that you're feeling bad."
After saying that, he added, "She's not only worried that you'll feel bad, she also feels bad for you."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I know."
But she really didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
To be frank, even if she is a genius picked out of ten thousand, there are tens of thousands of such people in China.
In her opinion, it doesn't matter who wins this project.
If only it hadn't been taken away by foreigners, she would have been furious.
The two of them spoke quietly, and the people next to them didn't hear.
But Mrs. Huo has been paying attention to this side.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law looked normal and even smiled halfway through her speech, Mother Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although deep down, she still felt that her daughter-in-law's design was the best.
But things don't always go as planned, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Huo said a few words of congratulations and prepared to leave.
But the Shen family was determined today and wanted their son to benefit from this.
Knowing that the Huo family was having a dinner party, Shen's mother strongly invited, "It's still early now, why don't you go to our place and have a bite to eat first?"
"No, there are so many people here." Mother Huo glanced at the time on her wrist and declined politely, "We have to go to the train station to pick someone up later."
"Hey, we're from the same compound, why are you being so polite to me?"
After saying that, Shen's mother changed the subject, "Just now my Minmin was still talking about it, saying that she hadn't seen her old classmates for a long time, and she was looking for an opportunity to catch up with them."
This was so incoherent that Mother Huo didn't react for a moment.
"Old classmate?"
"yes."
Mother Shen said with a smile on her face, "I just found out that my Minmin and your third daughter-in-law are high school classmates. They are even in the same class. Don't you think this is a coincidence?"
However, the much-anticipated reunion of old classmates and reminiscing about their past friendship did not happen.
Jiang Si responded with a slightly sarcastic snort, "What a coincidence."
Before Shen's mother could figure out the trick, Jiang Si had already spoken with a playful look on her face.
"What is she complaining about me? Is she complaining about who I've changed my partner to, or is she complaining about what I've done that she doesn't like and that she doesn't like?"
