Chapter 109 Li Zhinan gave Cheng Yan all his favor and exclusive love
Ji Yichen was startled by Li Zhinan's words. Did he see something?
"Zhi Nan, what do you want to say?" The smile in Ji Yichen's eyes gradually disappeared.
Li Zhinan lazily leaned back in his chair and said, "She is my wife. Shouldn't you get my permission before you acknowledge her as your sister?"
Ji Yichen's expression changed.
Li Zhinan continued, "We are brothers. We have known each other since childhood. I have always treated you as my best friend. Now that you want to recognize my wife as your sister, you should have come to talk to me first instead of treating her as your sister without my knowledge."
Ji Yichen was speechless.
This logic seems to be correct.
"I'm sorry, Zhinan, I..."
"Forget it, we are brothers. I won't care about such trivial matters. But next time if you have something to ask my wife, you can ask me first instead of asking her out alone, which will cause misunderstandings." Li Zhinan smiled with his thin lips, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Yichen's expression.
Ji Yichen's breathing became disordered. He had the illusion that his thoughts had been seen through and he had been warned.
"Yes, next time I ask Xiao Qian out, I will definitely let you know." Ji Yichen nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I hope you don't mind what I said just now. The main thing is that Cheng Qian is a woman, and reputation is very important to her." Li Zhinan emphasized the last three words.
Ji Yichen's handsome face froze slightly, and he chuckled twice: "Yes, reputation is important, but reputation after marriage is also important."
Li Zhinan turned his head and looked at Ji Yichen.
Ji Yichen looked at Cheng Qian's slender figure and said, "You've been married for so many years, and she's been willing to hide away. Have you ever thought about why?"
Li Zhinan was most afraid of others picking on him, and at the moment, he didn't look very happy.
"There are some things between her and me that are not convenient to tell others." Li Zhinan lowered his voice.
Ji Yichen nodded: "Okay, then I won't ask."
Li Zhinan's mind seemed to be messed up by a hand.
Looking back on the four years he and Cheng Qian have been married, there seems to be nothing particularly worth remembering.
It's nothing more than that after marriage, they treat each other with respect and courtesy, he plays the role of husband, and she behaves like a virtuous wife.
This is probably how all couples get along.
Is it possible that any couple can spend 365 days a year in passion?
Li Zhinan comforted himself that there was no major problem in their relationship.
He doesn't need to reflect on anything.
At noon, the summit ended and lunch was prepared nearby, which everyone went to enjoy.
The person in charge of organizing the summit immediately walked over to Li Zhinan and expressed his gratitude. "Mr. Li, thank you for providing the venue and carefully preparing this lunch for us. On behalf of all the participants, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Cheng Yan, who was standing next to Li Zhinan, had a bright and joyful look in her eyes: "Zhinan, it turns out you were the one pushing for this summit behind the scenes. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Zhinan smiled and said, "It's my honor to be able to contribute something to medicine."
Cheng Yan immediately moved closer to him: "Next time something like this happens, can you tell me in advance? Although this kind of surprise is great, if you don't tell me, I still don't know that you are behind it."
Li Zhinan said calmly: "Well, next time I will tell you in advance."
Cheng Yan smiled brightly instantly, as if she had received some kind of reward, and subconsciously looked at Cheng Qian not far away with her charming eyes.
Cheng Qian and Ji Yichen were sitting at another table, chatting with others, and did not notice the smugness of someone here.
Li Zhinan came to Cheng Qian's side with a glass of wine. There happened to be an empty seat there.
Some scholars and experts present instantly recognized Li Zhinan's identity.
They toasted him one after another. Cheng Qian frowned slightly. Wasn't Li Zhinan at the table next to her? What was he doing here?
"This is my wife. Please take good care of her in the future." After drinking with them, Li Zhinan suddenly put his arm around Cheng Qian's shoulders and said, "Cheng Qian, drink less. You can't hold your liquor well."
Cheng Qian really didn't expect Li Zhinan to say this here, and her face instantly became hot.
She never wanted to take advantage of him, so in any occasion, she only talked about academics and would not introduce herself as Mrs. Li.
Some of the people present were unaware of the situation, and when they heard these words, they all looked at Cheng Qian in surprise.
Cheng Qian instantly felt everyone's gazes on her, and she felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Ji Yichen was well-mannered, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes. Li Zhinan had previously hidden Cheng Qian behind the scenes, so what was he doing now? Was he going to push her out into the public eye?
If he really cared so much about her as his wife, what had he been doing in the past few years?
Cheng Qian secretly glared at Li Zhinan. They were here for academic exchange today, not to show off their status. He was really doing something unnecessary.
After Li Zhinan finished his introduction, he returned to his seat, completely ignoring the awkward situation of Cheng Qian and Ji Yichen at the moment.
Because everyone present initially thought that Cheng Qian and Ji Yichen were more like a couple.
They are of similar age, a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, plus Ji Yichen cares for Cheng Qian, and Cheng Qian respects Ji Yichen.
Now it seems that was a mistake.
In the afternoon session, Li Zhinan left early due to something.
Cheng Yan felt empty inside and could not concentrate.
She looked at Cheng Qian again. She was oblivious to the people around her and was focused and serious.
After the summit, Cheng Qian informed Ji Yichen about Chu Huaijing's recommendation.
Ji Yichen was surprised: "I didn't expect the Chu family to fight for this position for you. It seems that it is because of the special medicine you researched before that saved Vice President Chu. They remembered your kindness."
"Maybe." Cheng Qian nodded: "It may be that Uncle Ji asked them to do this behind the scenes."
Ji Yichen shook his head: "That's impossible. My dad asked me to use his connections to get you a place. We haven't contacted the Chu family yet."
Cheng Qian's eyes were filled with surprise. "No? Could it be that the Chu family took the initiative to contact Dr. Lan for me?"
Ji Yichen fell into deep thought, looking at Cheng Qian's pure eyes, which were clear and bright, and very beautiful.
"It's possible that the Chu family unilaterally wants to fight for this position for you. Xiao Qian, it will also be beneficial for you to be able to establish a relationship with the Chu family." Ji Yichen was happy for her.
"Brother Yichen, I'm not good at making connections, but I'm really grateful to the Chu family for remembering my kindness and seeking benefits for me." Cheng Qian said with a chuckle.
"Okay, no matter what, this is a good thing." Ji Yichen was also happy for her.
That night!
Li Zhinan had just entered the living room, still holding his phone and talking to someone: "Did you find out who the quota that the Chu family fought for was given to?"
"Find it out for me immediately. No matter what, I want him to give up this spot, regardless of the conditions." As Li Zhinan spoke, he handed his suit jacket to the aunt and turned around to see Cheng Qian playing with the child on the sofa.
Cheng Qian didn't listen to the man at first until she heard the word "Chu family".
When Li Zhinan saw Cheng Qian in the living room, he turned and went out to the courtyard.
He is now asking for a place for Cheng Yan, so he doesn't want Cheng Qian to know about this.
Cheng Qian is not stupid, so of course she heard what Li Zhinan said.
Her pretty face turned cold. Li Zhinan gave all his preference and exclusive love to Cheng Yan. He was almost giving her a status.
After Li Zhinan finished the call, he returned to the living room.
Seeing Cheng Qian still teaching her son to practice writing calligraphy stroke by stroke, he walked over and said, "Son, your writing is great."
Ono smiled happily and became more serious and focused.
When Cheng Qian saw him coming, she stood up and said, "You teach him. I'll go upstairs to do something."
Li Zhinan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Did you know that Dr. Lan is recruiting apprentices? Are you interested..."
"Not interested." Cheng Qian shook off his big hand, feeling that his hand was poisonous.
Seeing her so indifferent, Li Zhinan frowned.
He was also thinking of getting a spot for her, but now it seems that she is not interested.
The next day at noon!
Chu Huaijing met with Cheng Qian and Dr. Lan Jie for lunch in a quiet restaurant.
Chu Huaijing and Cheng Qian arrived first, and Lan Jie came later.
Before Lan Jie arrived, Cheng Qian had already expressed her gratitude to Chu Huaijing several times.
Chu Huaijing gently spun the cup, a smile tinging his thin lips. "Cheng Qian, my father and I both value talent. We want to do our best to cultivate potential scientific researchers like you. You don't have to be polite. You earned it all by yourself."
Cheng Qian felt that Chu Huaijing was really good at comforting people, and his words were really helpful.
"Mr. Chu is so wise and has the qualities of a good general. He will definitely have a bright future." Cheng Qian also flattered him with a smile.
Chu Huaijing's eyes darkened slightly, and his smile widened when he heard her say that.
"So what kind of person am I in Miss Cheng's eyes?" Chu Huaijing asked curiously.
"I... I don't know much about Mr. Chu. Sorry, I can't comment." Cheng Qian laughed dryly.
Chu Huaijing felt that what she said was very truthful, and his appreciation for her increased even more.
"Ms. Cheng is a real and serious person. There are very few people like her." Chu Huaijing couldn't help but sigh.
"How could that be? There should be many people like me around Mr. Chu." Cheng Qian was surprised.
"No!" Chu Huaijing said with a reserved expression: "In front of me, there are too few people who dare to tell me the truth. They prefer to say some flattering words, which are hard to tell whether they are true or false."
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, then she understood. Chu Huaijing sat in such a high position, and there were indeed not many people who dared to tell him the truth.
"This proves that Mr. Chu is highly capable and has extraordinary authority." Cheng Qian smiled, melting the frost between his brows.
Chu Huaijing burst out laughing: "Well, then would you appreciate someone like me? I'm not as humorous as Zhinan. I'm quite dull."
Cheng Qian was stunned and said self-deprecatingly, "How come I didn't know he was humorous?"
Chu Huaijing was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the object of his humor seems to be Cheng Yan."
Cheng Qian lowered her eyes bitterly and laughed at herself: "Maybe."
In the restaurant, the two were chatting. Not far away, a man with a rifle camera took several photos and sent them to Li Zhinan immediately.
"Boss Li, I found it. This lady must be the one the Chu family wants to recommend."
Li Zhinan glanced at the photo, and the next second, his cold eyes froze.
