Assistant Li hung his head like a lost dog and clenched his fists in bitterness.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have come here to humiliate himself, and would have let a little girl bully him for no reason.
He also had a rift with his boss. It would be difficult for Zhou Jianguo to trust him 100% as before in the future.
Special Assistant Li was even more silent than before. He followed Zhou Jianguo dejectedly. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a Red Flag car with a red flag parked at the door.
"Mr. Zhou, it just so happens that Academician Jiang asked me to give you an invitation. Please keep it."
Zhou Jianguo was stunned. It had been a few days since Sang Luo's incident, and the academician had never contacted him. Why did he suddenly invite him to the banquet today?
He quickly put on a polite smile and said politely, "Thank you for making such a long trip." Zhou Jianguo, who didn't know what was going on, felt a little uneasy. "I wonder if there is any big happy event happening in the academician's family?"
The other party smiled and said, "You will know. Please bring your whole family to join us tonight!"
Zhou Jianguo felt that the other party placed extra emphasis on the word "whole family", and Zhou Qingya's words that day suddenly popped into his mind.
"Originally, Sang Luo was almost getting better, but her sister came and made a scene, instigating Sang Luo to go against her family and study law. Sang Luo should have had a quarrel with the academician by now."
A bad premonition came to him, and he quickly said a few words of thanks and sent the person away.
Then he turned around and went back to the villa, and went back to Zhou Liwan's room with a dark face.
Without caring about Zhou Liwan who was still having a high fever, he directly pulled him up and said, "How dare you sleep? Academician Jiang has already posted a message. Come with me tonight to apologize for your crime!"
"I've done something wrong, so I'll take the blame. Can you please stop nagging me?" Zhou Liwan yelled impatiently. She just wanted to have a good rest, but that was not allowed!
Zhou Jianguo said coldly: "Tell me what you did wrong, hurry up and get dressed, and when Yaya and the others come, we will go to the Jiang family together!"
"What if I don't want to?" Zhou Liwan opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Jianguo coldly.
Zhou Jianguo was so angry that he almost exploded. His face flushed as he spoke word by word: "I don't want to fight again today. As long as you can get Academician Jiang's forgiveness, I won't mention the male model matter anymore."
Zhou Liwan snorted coldly and closed his eyes, intending to pretend that he heard nothing.
"Okay!" Zhou Jianguo was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't offend Academician Jiang. "I promise you, as long as Academician Jiang doesn't blame me, your Aunt Han and I will continue to postpone our wedding! Is that okay?"
Zhou Liwan didn't say anything. When Zhou Jianguo seemed to be indifferent, she replied lightly, "Okay."
Zhou Jianguo was beaten so hard that he was extremely frustrated.
After Zhou Liwan had packed up, they waited for more than two hours before Han Xiaofen arrived leisurely with Zhou Qingya, who was dressed like a peacock spreading its feathers.
They saw Zhou Liwan wearing a low-key red dress, but her fair skin and the strong contrast between red and white strongly stimulated their eyes.
Zhou Qingya clenched her jealous hands tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.
"Wanwan, you have to admit your mistake today. It's not good to dress so ostentatiously." Han Xiaofen said with some concern.
Zhou Liwan stood up and looked Zhou Qingya up and down with a cold gaze: "No, she's just pretty."
After saying that, he walked out directly, got into Lao Wang's car, and closed the door directly, with no intention of letting anyone else sit with him.
"Mom~" Zhou Qingya shook Han Xiaofen's arm a few times unhappily, and suddenly there were clanging noises coming from her body.
Han Xiaofen glared at her, then pulled Zhou Qingya and Zhou Jianguo into a car.
The lights are coming on.
The lights in the Jiang family villa were bright.
From time to time, laughter and chatter could be heard in the banquet hall.
It was only six o'clock, and the sun was still hot, but there was already a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the Jiang family's door. Various luxury cars, even the low-key Hongqi, were coming and going.
Academician Jiang's status and position are naturally incomparable to ordinary businessmen. At the beginning of the year, he was awarded the title of "National Scholar" by the Prime Minister himself for his outstanding contributions.
Logically speaking, the Zhou family was far from qualified to be invited to the Jiang family, but the confident Zhou Jianguo would never admit this and only thought that it was due to his own ability.
But this time, his main purpose was to bring Zhou Liwan to admit his mistake.
Seeing that his batch of equipment was about to become unsalable, but the approval procedures were still not moving forward, it must be the result of this bastard's willful behavior.
This made Academician Jiang unhappy with himself, and he began to doubt his own products.
After getting off the car, Zhou Jianguo looked at the courtyard with the national flag in front of him, his face heavy, and turned around to warn: "This time when you see Academician Jiang, you must kneel down and admit your mistakes. If you dare to mess around again, I will definitely not let you off easily."
Zhou Liwan adjusted her skirt with a half-smile, raised her head and smiled: "What father is afraid of will never happen. Let's go in and don't block other people's way."
Zhou Jianguo was so angry at the indifferent attitude that he blew his beard and glared, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and walked in with Han Xiaofen and her daughter.
The light in the banquet hall is soft and the fragrance is everywhere.
Long dining table, glasses, exquisite food, and mellow wine.
Zhou Qingya looked around nervously. This was the first time her father brought her to such an important occasion.
Those who come and go are either bigwigs who appear in financial magazines or central government officials who appear in the news broadcast.
My eyes were overwhelmed and my cheeks were a little hot from excitement.
If I behave well tonight, I will definitely be able to catch the eyes of those powerful people, and maybe they will introduce some young men in the compound to me.
In this way, Zhou Liwan, the merchant's granddaughter, can be defeated in a matter of seconds!
"Dad is really awesome. He was able to receive the invitation from Academician Jiang. Otherwise, Yaya would never be able to see such a scene in her life." Zhou Qingya took Zhou Jianguo's arm obediently, with admiration on her face.
Zhou Jianguo was very pleased and smiled softly at Zhou Qingya: "Behave yourself tonight. You are not a child anymore. If you like any of them, tell daddy."
Zhou Qingya immediately smiled shyly and stamped her feet coquettishly: "Dad, what are you talking about~"
After saying this, he glanced at Zhou Liwan with a smug look.
Zhou Liwan crossed his arms and looked at Zhou Qingya deeply. "Why do you think this Jiang family banquet is a matchmaking meeting for you? Put away your pretentious and worthless look. None of the people present are simple people. They really don't like low-level ants like you, let alone introduce you to any children from the compound."
Zhou Qingya's face froze. How could she guess her little expectation so accurately?
I felt a little embarrassed at the moment, and looked around anxiously to see if anyone noticed this: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Liwan was too lazy to deal with it. Looking at the cakes not far away and feeling quite appetizing, he prepared to take one to try.
Zhou Jianguo immediately grabbed her arm and said sternly, "Don't run around. Stay here. When you see Academician Jiang, go and admit your mistake!"
Zhou Liwan was about to say something.
At this time, an elderly man in his seventies, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with kind eyes and a ruddy complexion, walked towards the center of the banquet hall with steady steps.
He said in a loud voice: "Everyone!"
Everyone put down their wine glasses, stopped chatting, and moved towards the center.
The old man continued: "As everyone knows, my family is small, and the entire Jiang family only has a somewhat lonely granddaughter. We have used all our family's strength to train her and love her, fearing that she would get sick and unhappy. We also have very high expectations for her in medicine. Who would have thought that the girl had no talent for medicine at all. No matter what we tried, she just wouldn't get it, and she even suffered from depression..."
Zhou Jianguo mingled in the crowd, his face becoming increasingly heavy. Many of those present were leaders in the medical field, and they had to stop the academician before he could say more.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zhou to get a share of the medical industry in the future.
He immediately reached out and pulled Zhou Liwan with a heavy heart and guilt, pushed her in front of the crowd, and said loudly: "Academician! I, Zhou Jianguo, feel really guilty for not teaching my daughter well!"
The academician's speech came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked curiously at the father and daughter.
