Chapter 690, North City
The hotel is located in the city center with convenient transportation and many shopping malls around it.
The hotel's environment and interior decoration are also very good. Kong Xiyan's room is near the elevator entrance on the 9th floor.
"It might be a little noisy. If necessary, I can negotiate to change rooms." The young man who drove Kong Xiyan and Professor Du here smiled shyly and handed Kong Xiyan the buffet ticket and the conference bag that was distributed uniformly.
"No need, let's just leave it at that. The meeting won't last more than a few hours anyway, just one night." Kong Xiyan waved her hand and sent the young man out of the room.
After a simple tidying up, Kong Xiyan took out her cell phone, took two photos and sent them to Luo Zhenxuan and Zhong Yangyang respectively.
After a while, she received replies from Zhong Yangyang and Luo Zhenxuan.
Zhong Yangyang took a photo of the library, and Luo Zhenxuan took a photo of the conference room.
It can be seen that everyone is busy with work.
Pretty good.
"Then I can't sit idle either." Kong Xiyan glanced at the time on her watch and contacted Meng Zhihuan.
Soon, a black private car stopped downstairs of the hotel.
"Sister Xiyan, I'm downstairs at the hotel." Meng Zhihuan called Kong Xiyan.
"Got it. I'll be down right away." Kong Xiyan closed the door, took the room card, and took the elevator to the first floor.
After crossing the lobby, Kong Xiyan was about to go out when she heard someone calling her.
"Little Kong?" Professor Du was chatting with an old friend when he looked up and saw Kong Xiyan passing by. "Where are you going?"
The volunteer who drove Kong Xiyan and Professor Du back today was also there, looking at the two of them.
"A friend came to pick me up to do something." Kong Xiyan waved to Professor Du.
"You must be back before tomorrow's meeting! You have to speak tomorrow!" Professor Du said with a straight face, "Did you hear me?"
"I heard it~" Kong Xiyan waved her hand and left the lobby.
"Old Du, is she your student?" Professor Du's friend asked curiously.
"She is my ancestor!" Professor Du's face looked grim and he shook his head speechlessly.
He had never seen anything so infuriating.
Even when God was chasing her to feed her, she would jump up and down to dodge. How naughty!
"Huh?" Professor Du's friend was stunned for a moment, then realized: "She's the little Kong you always talk about, right?"
"Yes, it's her." Professor Du sighed and said, "I'm always worried about her.
You said she has the ability and skills.
I understand it immediately and understand it thoroughly once I explain it.
But I have a heart that can't be idle.
It's so difficult to see her all day long.
Last time I called her to ask about the progress of her experiment, guess what she was doing?"
"what?"
"She's filling in for Professor Qian from the Finance Department of Peking University." Professor Du said with disdain, but also with a smug look on his face: "She's really impressive."
"You're a truly remarkable student." Professor Du's friend turned to look at the volunteer and said, "Ye Qiyuan, you should learn from him!"
"What the teacher said is right. I've taken note of it." Ye Qiyuan laughed dryly and turned to look at Kong Xiyan's back, his eyes moving slightly.
"You're always smiling, but I don't know where your heart is!" Professor Du's old friend shook his head and said, "Kids nowadays are smarter than each other, but they just don't focus enough and want to learn everything.
My student is the same. He is always busy when you find him.
This hotel is his family’s business.”
"Oh, I see." Professor Du nodded and said, "A solid material foundation is a boost to scientific research. Young man, learn from your teacher well."
"Thank you Professor Du for your advice. I will definitely study hard with you." Ye Qiyuan retracted his gaze and responded with a smile.
Over here, after Kong Xiyan got in the car, she looked at Meng Zhihuan and said, "Winter in North City is really cold."
"Right? I always feel cold too." Meng Zhihuan said with a smile, "But Grandpa said that North City is where our Meng family started out, it's our roots, and we'll have to return sooner or later."
"That's right." Kong Xiyan nodded. "Old people, no matter how far they traveled when they were young, when they get old, they always want to return to their roots."
"Indeed." Meng Zhihuan echoed and took the initiative to hold Kong Xiyan's hand: "I'll warm Sister Xiyan's hands."
"So good." Kong Xiyan looked at Meng Zhihuan and asked as if she remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I also want to ask you about the Ye family."
"The Ye family in North City?" Meng Zhihuan blinked. "The Ye family's ancestors practiced medicine, and they have produced many famous doctors and Taoist doctors.
Later, the Ye family split into two factions, one teaching and educating people, and the other continuing to study medicine.
It was only in recent years that the Ye family started doing business.
The hotel Sister Xiyan is staying at this time is owned by the Ye family."
"Oh?" Kong Xiyan blinked: "Is it such a coincidence?"
"Yeah." Meng Zhihuan nodded and introduced the current business divisions of the Ye family and several key members. "Sister Xiyan, why did you suddenly think of asking about the Ye family?"
"We just happened to arrive in North City." Kong Xiyan said with a smile, "How is the relationship between the Meng family and the Ye family?"
"It should be okay," Meng Zhihuan said. "My family moved in to become neighbors with the Kong family when I was very young. I only returned to North City in recent years, so I don't know much about this aspect."
"Okay, then I understand." Kong Xiyan nodded and understood.
Afterwards, Kong Xiyan talked to Meng Zhihuan about the winter in North City.
More than twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a majestic manor.
The Meng family has arrived.
The car drove straight through the gate, across the courtyard, and finally stopped at the door of the beautiful main building.
"Sister Xiyan, we're here." Meng Zhihuan said.
"You get out of the car first, I'll make some preparations, and then I'll rush in as soon as we get off." Kong Xiyan straightened her collar.
"Ah?" Meng Zhihuan blinked, and before she could react, she saw Kong Xiyan suddenly open the car door and rush into the gate.
"Huh~" Kong Xiyan walked into the house and landed in a good posture. When she looked up, she met the eyes of everyone in the room, all of whom were filled with surprise and inquiry.
"Sister Xiyan, you're so quick!" Meng Zhihuan chased in and said with a smile, "My family said they haven't seen you in years, and some of the younger ones don't really know you either, so they just threw a party in your honor."
"Zhihuan, you should have told me this important thing in advance." Kong Xiyan held Meng Zhihuan's hand.
"It's okay, it's a family dinner, no need to change into formal attire." Meng Zhihuan said immediately, "Grandpa was only notified at short notice, so everyone is wearing casual clothes."
"This has nothing to do with casual clothes..." Kong Xiyan wanted to explain, but felt that it was pointless to say more, so she smiled and patted Meng Zhihuan's shoulder: "Forget it, let's leave it at that."
At this time, someone came over and said with a smile: "This must be Xiyan, you have grown up so big in the blink of an eye."
"Hello." Kong Xiyan immediately put on a business smile, as if the person who just rushed in was not her: "Long time no see, it's been a long time since I last said hello."
