His face darkened slightly and he waved his hand.
The secretary retreated. He looked at the two people opposite him and said leisurely, "Wen Zhaoqing went to Du Bei's lecture. Both of your wives are here."
As soon as the words fell, the two people opposite disappeared immediately.
Huo Qinghuai was not in a hurry. He drank his tea slowly before getting up and going to the scene.
…
Wen Zhaoqing's arrival.
Neither Jiang Lai nor Ruan Nanzhi expected this.
Given his position, he doesn't need to attend this meeting in person.
Furthermore, the Huo family specifically pointed out that his coming would not change anything.
Du Bei didn't know Wen Zhaoqing, or someone under Huo Qinghuai told him about it.
He was also told that this person was not a friendly force.
When Du Bei spoke, he deliberately avoided some key points.
He also had no right to drive him away, after all, their statuses were very different.
He estimated that Wen Zhaoqing would not have a deep understanding of this aspect.
Wen Zhaoqing didn't say a word.
His gaze always fell towards Jiang Lai, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ruan Nanzhi held Jiang Lai's hand under the table and whispered in her ear, "It's most likely coming for you."
Jiang Lai also felt it, but didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
I didn't expect Wen Zhaoqing to be so upright.
Don't hide your thoughts at all.
"No wonder Mr. Wen came to Ningcheng. It turns out he doesn't like doing his job."
A faint but resounding voice was heard.
Jiang Lai saw Chi Zhan walk in.
She immediately winked at him, not letting him get close to her.
He walked over and sat down next to her.
Zhou Fang then sat down next to Ruan Nanzhi.
Huo Qinghuai arrived late and naturally sat in the seat.
Du Bei stood in front of the projection in a daze.
Why are all the big guys here?
Wen Zhaoqing's eyes were full of brilliance, without any concealment.
His smile was also fake.
It makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Chi, you came very quickly. I have never seen you so anxious before."
Chi Zhan did not hide anything and tidied up Jiang Lai's hair.
"It's my fiancée's project, I should come and see it."
"Some people, on the other hand, like to meddle in other people's affairs."
He spoke without leaving any room for negotiation, obviously ready for a head-on confrontation.
Wen Zhaoqing was not annoyed, "It was also very rewarding."
"Since Chi Shaoyi already has a true love, why not give Gu Qingci to me."
"If we eat one and take one, we won't listen to it if the news gets out."
"I have solved a hidden danger for Master Chi. You don't need to thank me. After all, we have been friends for many years."
It is impossible for Wen Zhaoqing to choose the Gu family for marriage.
Their positions have always been different.
Right now, the Chi family and the Gu family are at odds.
If Gu Qingci was taken back by Wen Zhaoqing, the Gu family would immediately side with the Wen family.
The Chi family is also one step closer to being left alone.
"Actually, Gu Qingci is innocent too." Wen Zhaoqing continued, "He just likes you, so he lets you use him as a shield."
"Oh, your beloved probably doesn't know about this, right?"
Jiang Lai naturally knew it.
She also knew that this was not a situation where she could speak casually.
Wen Zhaoqing's move seemed to be a very obvious means of provocation.
But he is so many years older after all.
It's always smooth.
"Deputy Director Wen, please don't ask about our affairs."
Chi Zhan placed his arm loosely on Jiang Lai's shoulders and looked at Wen Zhaoqing coldly.
“It’s normal for older people not to understand young people’s affairs.”
"Leave it to yourself."
…
The conference room instantly fell into an eerie silence.
Undercurrents are surging.
No one spoke for a long time, and Huo Qinghuai took control of the situation.
"Let's go, Mr. Wen."
Huo Qinghuai and Wen Zhaoqing left one after another, and all the people who followed them also left.
The conference room suddenly became much emptier.
Du Bei was a little panicked, "School girl, should I continue?"
Jiang Lai nodded, "Go on, senior."
Half an hour later, Du Bei finished the rest of the content.
Jiang Lai said, "Sure, senior, you're great. Let's implement it according to your plan."
As she finished speaking, her fingertips were pinched forcefully.
Jiang Lai turned around and winked at him, "Why, are you dissatisfied with your brother-in-law?"
Chi Zhan smiled, "Full, very full."
"Now that everyone is here, I'll treat my brother-in-law to a meal to thank him for taking care of you."
Jiang Lai was planning to treat everyone anyway, so this was the perfect time.
The group went to the most expensive restaurant in Ningcheng.
It was not the restaurant where Jiang Lai met Chi Zhan and Gu Qingci last time, but a private chef.
"It's not a one-time order here. You have to have money and know the owner."
Du Bei said to Jiang Lai: "Your fiancé is really amazing."
Ultimately, we should thank Huo Qinghuai.
Chi Zhan didn't mention it, and it's not important.
A private room, and several people sent by Huo Qinghuai to coordinate work with Du Bei.
Everyone was sitting down.
While ordering, Ruan Nanzhi asked Zhou Fang, "Why are you so quiet all day?"
Zhou Fang smiled casually and said, "What do you want to hear me say?"
Ruan Nanzhi finally understood after asking.
It is indeed not appropriate for Zhou Fang to speak in this situation.
He's just a businessman.
"This mandarin duck chicken is good, let's order one."
Zhou Fang smiled, "Well, it's up to you."
Ruan Nanzhi went to ask Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai asked Du Bei what the characteristics were.
“When you come to a local place, you have to eat local specialties. Don’t eat the kind that you can eat everywhere.”
Du Bei said: "Not really. The same dish tastes different when you eat it here than in Jingcheng. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Lai didn't believe it. "How can sweet and sour spareribs be different? How can sweet and sour be spicy and bitter?"
"If you like it, order it and try it."
Jiang Lai ordered it and wanted to try it to see if there was any difference.
The food came out quickly.
The first thing Jiang Lai wanted to eat was the sweet and sour spare ribs.
One bite and I was truly amazed.
"Is this meat different?"
Du Bei raised his eyebrows proudly, "Right, this is organic black pork."
"This sugar is different too. It's sugarcane juice."
"Usually, we use white sugar."
Jiang Lai nodded, and Du Bei continued, "The vinegar in this is lemon juice, not the kind used in seasonings."
"You've never been here to eat, but you know everything."
"Then I've been here for so long in vain. Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run."
Jiang Lai listened to Du Bei's introduction of the dishes and finally summarized them.
"In other words, the seasonings used here are not the ones we usually buy in supermarkets. They are extracted directly from food, so they taste better and healthier."
Du Bei gave a thumbs up, "Your summary is very good."
Jiang Lai got up and poured himself a round of wine, thanking the people sent by Huo Qinghuai and hoping that they would have a pleasant cooperation.
"Mr. Huo asked for it, so it's my duty. Mrs. Chi, you don't have to be polite."
Jiang Lai drank it all in one gulp.
Tsk.
This name.
Just barely enough.
…
After having a good meal and a drink, we returned to the hotel.
Jiang Lai wanted to talk to Ruan Nanzhi about design, but was dragged into the room by Chi Zhan.
He pushed her against the door panel and stared at her with a gloomy look.
Jiang Lai was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Chi Zhan asked, "I didn't say much tonight, don't you care at all?"
A question mark slowly appeared in Jiang Lai's head.
Ask sincerely: "You don't talk much, do you?"
“…”
