"Uncle Xing," Ji Zhinan looked at Xing Minggao and asked, "How is it?"
Xing Minggao smiled, sat down on the stool next to him, and said, "In less than half an hour, four or five company executives have come to talk to me. Their intentions were very clear: they want to cooperate with ZN."
ZN is thriving now, and the people attending this banquet today are all CEOs of large companies. It is an honor for ZN to cooperate with them.
Xing Minggao first shared some of his thoughts with Ji Zhinan, who then opened the notes app on her phone and took notes.
Before attending this banquet, she had done some research. Some companies that Ji Zhinan thought were good would be specially marked and Xing Minggao would contact them.
After explaining the situation to Ji Zhinan, Xing Minggao took Madam Xing downstairs, while Xing Fei stayed in the room with Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan is a workaholic. When he gets busy, he really disconnects from the world and immerses himself in his own world.
She typed and edited in her phone's notes app, not knowing how long she had been working, until her mouth became dry and her attention finally shifted away from her work.
Ji Zhinan reached for a teacup on the coffee table and looked up to see Xing Fei lounging listlessly on the sofa, her eyes glazed over, yawning, and staring at Ji Zhinan. She was incredibly bored.
Ji Zhinan placed his phone on the coffee table and asked, "Are you bored?"
"No, not really." Xing Fei sat up straighter, looking dejected. "I heard that the head chef from a five-star Michelin restaurant in France was invited to cook here. I'd feel a bit disappointed if I didn't get to eat there..."
Ji Zhinan understood, put her phone in her handbag, stood up, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at Xing Fei.
"Let's go."
Xing Fei stared at her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Downstairs, to the banquet," Ji Zhinan said.
Hearing this, Xing Fei regained some of her spirits, her eyes filled with anticipation. But then, as if remembering something, she said, "But if you go down there, you'll be surrounded by onlookers. I know you don't like that, so let's forget it. I'll stay upstairs and keep you company while you work."
Xing Fei is a lively and sunny girl, completely different from Ji Zhinan, who prefers quiet. Perhaps it is because they are one quiet and the other active that their personalities complement each other and they get along so well.
Seeing that she was still worried about him, Ji Zhinan smiled, walked over and helped Xing Fei up.
"It's alright. I came here to attend the banquet anyway. It would be a waste of my 'queen' status if I just stayed in my room."
Hearing this, Xing Fei was overjoyed and skipped after Ji Zhinan.
The two left the room and headed for the elevator. Xing Minggao had booked the presidential suite for Ji Zhinan, which should have been the quietest floor.
However, they encountered several groups of men in black along the way, and every now and then there were waiters pushing things back and forth busily.
"Ding—" The elevator doors opened, and two female attendants, carrying things in their hands, whispered to each other as they walked in, oblivious to everyone else.
"Such a big fuss, who exactly came? Several of our hotel managers came to personally supervise the construction."
"I heard they're big shots, each one more important than the last!"
"Big shots? The people in the first-floor meeting room aren't small fry either."
"Those downstairs are nothing compared to what I overheard from the managers. The people we're hosting are all influential figures internationally! I don't know about the others, but I do know that one of them is an internationally renowned designer!"
