Chapter 1239 You Come and I
"It seems that Miss Nie understands food better than I thought. Next time I will remind the chef to be more careful!" The woman laughed softly.
Nie Yao then raised her head and looked at the person who came. Seeing that she looked somewhat familiar, she was a little surprised for a moment: "Are you... Hou Jia?"
She had seen Hou Jia twice before. The first time was when she went to see Xia Chuqi and ran into Hou Jia who happened to be talking to Li Jinxing. The second time was in Li Jinxing's office...
On the previous two occasions, Hou Jia had worn formal business suits and meticulously styled her hair, giving her the air of a business elite. But for today's business dinner, she wore a mermaid dress that revealed half of her back, accessorized with a long pearl necklace, adding a touch of feminine sophistication and sexiness.
Seeing Nie Yao looking at her, Hou Jia was also looking at her. Before Nie Yao could speak, Hou Jia took the initiative to say with a smile: "Miss Nie's dress today is very beautiful, it sets off her like a lotus flower emerging from the water!"
Seeing her polite words, Nie Yao lowered her guard and replied with a faint smile, "Thank you. You are also very beautiful and feminine!"
"Thank you..." Hou Jia gladly accepted Nie Yao's compliment. She took a sip of the champagne and pointed at the food on Nie Yao's plate. "Miss Nie seems very interested in food tasting," she said with a smile. "I hope Miss Nie can often attend the dinners I host in the future and share her ideas!"
"I don't deserve it..." Nie Yao was polite for a moment, and only then did she react and looked at her in surprise: "So you are the one hosting today's business dinner?"
Hou Jia pursed her lips and smiled, answering modestly, "Well, thanks to everyone's kindness, this dinner party has been made so glorious. Especially Mr. Li Jiu... and for bringing you, Miss Nie, along. If I remember correctly, this is the first time you've attended a banquet together since your engagement, right?"
"Yes, I'm usually very busy, and I'm not used to this kind of occasion!" Nie Yao nodded and answered honestly.
"I think so. Miss Nie is still more proficient in your field of archaeology..." Hou Jia smiled and nodded, saying meaningfully, "It's a pity that Master Li Jiu attends these business occasions alone, and he always lacks a female companion!"
"Everyone has their own level of knowledge, and everyone has their own expertise!" Nie Yao faintly heard some hostility in Hou Jia's tone, and replied with a faint smile, "There are some situations that he can face alone. Of course, when he needs me, I will be by his side. Even if I don't understand, as long as I can give him some spiritual strength, I have fulfilled my duty as a fiancée..."
When she said this, she smiled faintly and asked, "Miss Hou, don't you agree?"
Hou Jia originally wanted to remind Nie Yao that she could not help Li Jinxing at all, but she didn't expect Nie Yao to react so quickly!
Hou Jia's expression was not as relaxed as before, and he pulled the corners of his lips and smiled a little reluctantly.
"Miss Nie has a point..." She said this, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "But the business world is like a battlefield, it's unpredictable. No matter how powerful he is, he still needs cooperation and a good helper, not just spiritual comfort..."
After saying this, Hou Jia pointed at a few couples not far away and said with a smile, "Look, this is Mr. Huang, and next to him is Mrs. Huang. Mr. Huang had a business problem before, and luckily his wife stepped in to take care of it... And that Mr. Qin, his wife is also very capable..."
