Chi Wu quickly adjusted it higher and also quietly raised the baffle.
Jiang Lai was speechless again.
"As expected, where there is an abnormal young master, there are abnormal subordinates."
Chi Zhan nodded in agreement, "You are right."
“…”
Arrived at the banquet venue.
When getting off the car, Jiang Lai took off the suit from his shoulders.
But as soon as she got out of the car and stood firm, the suit was back on her shoulders.
She was about to refuse.
Chi Zhan said: "He's a century old now. If he doesn't take care, he'll get periarthritis of the shoulder."
“…”
In the end, Jiang Lai didn't put on a suit.
She walked into the banquet hall and undoubtedly attracted a lot of people's attention.
First of all, she was a stranger in Ningcheng.
Secondly, although her look today did not steal the limelight from the host, it was eye-catching and easily caught everyone's attention because it suited her.
Some people are eager to try.
But when she saw the man holding her slender waist, she stopped.
"Young Master Chi's woman?"
"Of course, his possessiveness is going through the roof. Besides, there are no other women around him. He's declaring his sovereignty like this, so she must be his real wife."
"Gu Qingci? I heard that he brought Gu Qingci with him this time, and the two families are planning a marriage."
"No, I've met Gu Qingci before."
"Haven't you heard? Young Master Chi has a woman he loves very much, but she has no background and seems to be related to Jiang..."
"Jiang Lai."
"Yes, Jiang Lai!"
The man was excited. He turned around to see the person who answered him and quickly bent down.
"Mr. Huo...Mr. Huo."
Huo Qinghuai nodded slightly and strode towards Chi Zhan.
Hand him a glass of wine.
"It's a good thing that you didn't come to me alone this time."
Chi Zhan gave the wine in his hand to Jiang Lai, half of his body blocked her back, and introduced her.
"Huo Qinghuai."
The wine was already at Jiang Lai's lips, but when he heard the name, it flowed back into the glass.
She exclaimed: "Huo Qinghuai?"
"It's that Huo Qinghuai!"
There was a slight smile on Huo Qinghuai's lips, but his eyes were not filled with any emotion.
That handsome face carries the dignity of a high position nurtured by these hairs.
After Jiang Lai was amazed, she realized belatedly that the person standing in front of her was someone she would never be able to meet in her entire life on her own.
Even if he and Chi Zhan were good friends, she was too presumptuous and rude.
Apologize quickly.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I was a little abrupt just now."
Huo Qinghuai's eyes flashed with a hint of ulterior motives. He glanced at Chi Zhan and said, "Don't be restrained, sister-in-law. Chi Zhan and I are good friends and we are family. It doesn't matter what jokes we make."
Jiang Lai explained, but was interrupted by Chi Zhan, "She came to Ningcheng to research the intangible cultural heritage trend. Don't you have a plan to vigorously develop it in the future?"
Huo Qinghuai nodded, "That's right."
"If my sister-in-law wants to do it, then leave it entirely to her. We are one family, so I feel more at ease."
Talking about the work, Jiang Lai felt a little more relaxed. "Boss Huo, I have a senior who specializes in this. He has more experience than me. I think he can work with us."
Huo Qinghuai's eyes showed some interest, "Senior."
Chi Zhan gritted his teeth and gave him a cold look.
Huo Qinghuai smiled deeply, "It's also good to have someone from our own family who has experience."
"Then let's go together."
Chi Zhan: "..."
Jiang Lai was very happy and quickly walked aside to call Du Bei.
Du Bei had been waiting for a long time. After answering the call, he hurried over and said, "Junior."
Seeing him in a formal suit, Jiang Lai joked, "Hey, you look like a real man."
"That's right, I can't embarrass you."
Jiang Lai introduced him: "This is Mr. Huo, Huo Qinghuai."
Du Bei was stunned and stuttered, "What?"
Jiang Lai patted him on the back and said, "Don't let me down. This is what you thought."
Du Bei was so excited that he was at a loss.
"He, I, you..."
Jiang Lai glared at him, then apologized to Huo Qinghuai, "Please forgive me, I am a timid senior."
After watching the natural interaction between the two, Huo Qinghuai took the liquor from the waiter and handed it to Chi Zhan.
"I know you need it, thank you."
“…”
Seeing that he didn't answer, Huo Qinghuai didn't care. He turned to Jiang Lai and said, "Your sister-in-law can arrange this matter as you wish. As long as it is done well, I don't have any requirements. But there are some precautions, and I will ask my secretary to send them to you when the time comes."
Jiang Lai bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust."
Huo Qinghuai still wanted to greet others, and said to Chi Zhanyu: "Take your sister-in-law to eat something first, and then go upstairs to play cards."
"My sister-in-law's seniors also stayed to play with us for a while. Some of them will probably collaborate later, so it's a good opportunity for them to get to know each other."
Du Bei was so excited that he couldn't say anything, and it was Jiang Lai who thanked him on his behalf.
After Huo Qinghuai left, Jiang Lai patted Du Bei on the back.
"Senior, don't be scared! I don't understand intangible cultural heritage, so you have to introduce it and tell me your advantages."
Du Bei touched his head and said, "My junior sister is right. I was just a little nervous."
Having said that.
Jiang Lai also understood.
After all, she was also quite nervous when she knew Huo Qinghuai's background.
Jiang Lai didn't say anything else. "Let's eat something. Let's sit over there."
"good."
Du Beiqian took the food.
Jiang Lai was about to leave when she found someone holding her waist.
Turning around, he met Chi Zhan's resentful and cold eyes.
"Shouldn't you thank me?"
That's true.
Let’s keep things separate.
Since you have received help, you should be grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Chi. I'll treat you to a meal."
Chi Zhan moved closer to her and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
"I only accept thanks in bed."
“…”
Du Bei brought the food over and saw that the two were about to kiss, then he realized what had happened!
"You were there at dinner that day!"
"You're the schoolgirl's boyfriend!"
Chi Zhan took Jiang Lai's hand and showed her the dazzling diamond ring.
"It's my fiancée."
Du Bei exclaimed, "Congratulations, junior."
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? I didn't even prepare a red envelope."
"Forget it, when you get married, invite me and I'll give you a big red envelope."
When Chi Zhan heard this, the hostility in his eyes was immediately replaced by a smile.
"Of course, I also want to thank you for taking care of Lai Lai."
"Then let's not talk about foreign languages as a family. Jiang Lai is just like my sister. It's my responsibility to take care of her."
"But I don't care how capable you are. If you make my sister sad, I, your brother-in-law, will not let you go."
Jiang Lai watched Chi Zhan become humble, "Don't worry, I will make her happy."
"That's a good feeling."
Du Bei found a place to sit down and happily ate his meal.
After all, this was his first time attending a banquet of this level, and the food was delicious.
Jiang Lai elbowed Chi Zhan.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like I'm getting married?"
"Didn't we agree to get married? It's just that something went wrong when we were getting the marriage certificate, so we didn't get it."
"Since God won't let us get a marriage certificate, don't you understand? We shouldn't be together!"
Chi Zhan's brows lowered a little, "The fact that we didn't get a marriage certificate was man-made, it had nothing to do with God."
"I'll take care of the human issues and won't keep you waiting too long."
Jiang Lai shook off his hand and sarcastically said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to deal with your family and get the marriage certificate with me."
Chi Zhan's eyes lit up and he held her hand tightly.
"You promised."
“…”
