Chapter 948 is a bit of a mouthful
Mr. James smiled without any embarrassment, as if he had just made a harmless joke.
Yan's mother whispered in He Jing's ear, "Yes, just express yourself directly and show your true self."
In this arena of fame and fortune, everyone is respected, and everyone understands that no one here will bow their head to anyone. One can be humble and polite, but one cannot belittle oneself.
She brought He Jing here to strengthen He Jing's mindset, to make her calm and composed even when facing great storms in the future. This is the only rule the Yan family has for their daughter-in-law.
Of course, this discipline started with her; her mother-in-law didn't have any connections for her to develop, and she wasn't worried that He Jing would not adapt.
Hearing what Yan's mother said, He Jing's last bit of worry disappeared. She followed Yan's mother to the banquet and quickly got to know many people.
Because Yan's mother valued her highly, these people were very enthusiastic towards her.
Midway through the banquet, He Jing received a message from Yan Hanxi, who asked her, "How is it?"
He Jing replied cheerfully, "Great."
She wasn't born to fit in here, but she fit in so quickly.
However, Yan Hanxi sent him a picture of a laboratory instrument that was malfunctioning. He seemed to be trying to take credit, saying in a low-key but boastful tone, "I fixed it. Now your group of big shots admire me a lot and have even invited me to participate in experiments... Tsk, if I get involved like this, wouldn't your employees be considered to have seriously leaked secrets?"
He Jing: "..."
She knew the people under her command; they all regarded scientific research as their life's work, and if someone could provide ideas that were beneficial to them, they would be happy to bring that person into their field.
He Jing tapped his profile picture, sent him a "tap," and then reminded him: "As the boss's wife of the studio, please have some self-awareness. As a member of the studio, you have a responsibility to keep the studio's secrets."
Yan Hanxi was clearly pleased by the words "boss's wife" and sent a message: "Not boss's husband?"
He Jing: "Don't you find it awkward to pronounce?"
Yan Hanxi: "It does seem a bit awkward to pronounce."
Immediately afterwards, Yan Hanxi said with feigned regret, "Then I'll reluctantly do it for you, Mother. I'll go buy some lipstick in a bit."
He Jing: "..."
That person is really something else.
They'd rather lose all sense of shame than beg for favor.
However, He Jing still found it quite agreeable.
After a brief chat, He Jing put away her phone. About half an hour later, a commotion broke out in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes turned towards a certain direction—
A man dressed in a white robe walked over from a distance, wearing a golden cross on his chest and a cloth on his head. His appearance was distinctly exotic, with a high nose, deep-set blue eyes, and wheat-colored skin, making him look like a mixed-race person.
The cloth on his head made He Jing very sensitive, because only religious people or extremely wealthy people could wear such a cloth on their heads. The important people who could be associated with these two things must be of a very high status, far above hers.
As expected, even Yan's mother was surprised when he appeared. After a moment of stunned silence, she whispered to He Jing, "Jingjing, this should be the prince of Adula. He is the crown prince of the Adula royal family and may become the future king of Adula. I didn't expect him to appear here."
He Jing thought to herself, "Wow, this banquet is amazing! Even the future king is here. What kind of person can't she meet?"
The country of Adula is pure fabrication; don't worry about the details. As for me, I'm a complete poor person who just daydreams all the time, so my logic is flawed.
