In the past, when he was in city B, the original owner often attended banquets. The upper class society would have some social gatherings every now and then. At the banquets, the leaders of various companies would take the opportunity to discuss business, while the ladies and young men would make friends.
This is the first time I have attended a banquet of famous families in City A since I came to City A. Others must have heard that Ji and Shen had reached a project cooperation, so they wanted to make friends with the Ji family.
Nan Qing came to the store where he was choosing dresses. Ji's mother had been waiting here for a long time.
Nan Qing took a look at the store's logo and haute couture dress. This was a big investment. It seemed that the Ji family attached great importance to this banquet and hoped that their daughter could establish herself in the young circles of City A.
Er Er thought about it and said: "Shen Ting'an should appear, but we have to see if he can snatch the body."
Nan Qing: "Then keep an eye on the favorability. If the favorability changes and another personality comes out, tell me."
"OK."
One system and one host, the two have a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Last time she sent a message even though she knew it was Shen Ting'an on the other side of the phone, so Shen Ting'an already knew that Shen Huai'an had a classmate named Ji Nannan.
By the time of the banquet, Nan Qing had decided to stay away from her parents. She would not let Shen Ting'an know that her surname was Ji, and she would not let him know her name.
Ji's mother chose a light blue dress for Nan Qing. Nan Qing specially asked for a dress with mid-sleeves, which could cover the wounds on her injured arm.
After changing into a skirt, it was time to do her hair and makeup. Nan Qing's long hair was slightly processed at the end, and the final overall effect was exquisite and natural.
Ji's mother also wore a thin necklace for her, which set off her slender neck.
"My Nannan is so beautiful. How could I give birth to such a beautiful daughter?"
Mother Ji surrounded Nan Qing and praised her wildly. Nan Qing's cheek turned red: "Mom, that's enough. I was born from you."
Ji's mother smiled so hard that she asked someone from the studio to take some photos of Nan Qing, saying that they would be developed and hung at home in a few days.
Nan Qing shuddered when she thought that there might be a photo of herself hanging in the living room.
The banquet started at nine o'clock in the evening. When the family of three appeared, many people looked at them. After a while, Ji Peng went to talk with several men.
Some ladies came over to want to make friends with Mrs. Ji, and even surrounded Ji Nannan with compliments.
The atmosphere is quite good, but Nan Qing doesn't like this kind of polite scene.
"Mom, I want to go outside and get some fresh air."
Mrs. Ji took a look and saw that all the young people were playing outside. Nannan must be bored following her.
"Go ahead. There is a swimming pool outside. Don't get so close. Be careful. I'll find you later."
"good."
Nan Qing picked up her skirt and left.
There is a large swimming pool outside, and many young ladies are sitting there chatting and drinking champagne by the pool.
"Er Er, what's going on now?"
The child in the blue space opened the map on the light screen with his hand, and the cold voice of the child murmured: "Looking at the speed of movement, Shen Ting'an should be driving by himself. He is on his way here."
Just when the banquet started, Er Er reminded Shen Ting'an that his personality appeared.
Shen Ting'an will definitely come to this banquet. After all, the bidding for the resort project has not ended yet, and there are many people at the banquet who can cooperate.
Nan Qing found a seat and waited quietly, waiting for a 'chance encounter'.
Shen Ting'an arrived at the banquet hotel. He was in the lobby and came out after about an hour.
Shen Tingan drank several glasses of wine, but the central air conditioner inside was still too hot, so he came out to get some fresh air.
As soon as I came out, I saw a circle of young people around the swimming pool. They were all seventeen or eighteen years old, a carefree age, with no worries about running a company or even studying.
Their family destined them to enjoy a high-quality education, and everything was superior from an early age.
Shen Ting'an glanced around and suddenly noticed a somewhat lonely figure.
The other young people were standing together in pairs or groups, laughing and chatting. Only the girl was sitting on a chair staring at the water of the swimming pool.
The girl's profile looks very familiar.
Shen Ting'an walked over with long legs, and when he got closer, he was sure it was her.
He unconsciously glanced at her arm covered by her sleeves. The injury should be almost healed, right?
"Why don't you go over and play with your friends? Why are you sitting here alone?"
"ah!"
She was so frightened that she stood up from her chair.
Shen Ting'an was stunned. Are you so cowardly?
Nan Qing turned around, put his hand on his chest and looked at him resentfully: "I'm scared to death. It's obvious that there's no one behind me...Brother, are you coming to the banquet too?"
She also recognized him.
Brother, to be honest, Shen Ting'an is very unfamiliar with this title. In my memory, no one has ever called her that, and she is the first one.
"Um."
Shen Tingan sat down on the chair next to him.
Nan Qing also sat down: "Don't you think this banquet is boring? If you have this time, you might as well do your homework at home."
As expected, he is a well-behaved and good boy who loves to learn.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Time will pass quickly if you just chat with your friends."
She was silent for a few seconds and then said: "I have no friends. I don't know any young people here, and I don't even know anyone older than me."
Don’t know?
The people who come in and out here today are all well-off people. Many of them are famous families in City A. Everyone has known each other since childhood, but some of them are companies that have just moved to City A.
So she just moved here not long ago?
"It's okay. Once you get acquainted with this circle, you will have friends."
"Well, actually I know a few people. I've seen them at school, but they're not in the same class."
Seeing that she was not discouraged and was quite optimistic, Shen Ting'an asked: "Who are they?"
She must be in high school, right?
I don't know which school I'm in.
Nan Qing raised his hand and pointed to a few boys holding champagne at the swimming pool in the distance: "Just them, they often play basketball in the playground, and many girls go to watch it. I was a little surprised when I saw them in the banquet hall just now. one time."
