Outside the Yufu Hotel, Wei Ling and Shen Qiongzhi arrived late. They did not go to the banquet hall and found a seat by the window on the third floor to drink water.
The waiter brought a pot of top-notch bamboo leaf green tea set with celadon white glaze, which was quite Chinese and noble. Wei Ling sat on the corner of the sofa, slowly picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of tea in a good mood.
Diagonally across from her was the eating place. Tang Wanru and Jiang Zongnan were standing outside to greet the guests. After sitting there for ten minutes, she saw that only one or two people came, and they were still the kind of unfamiliar faces that they didn't recognize.
Seeing this scene, Wei Ling was in a good mood. The tea she picked up and drank had a sweet taste, leaving endless aftertaste.
After drinking, she felt happy and her eyebrows relaxed.
"It's almost noon, and it seems like not many people are here. Haha, I think the banquet for college entrance examination is just a joke." Shen Qiongzhi sat opposite her, with a look of regret on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "Sorry The old man from the Jiang family had the nerve to send us an invitation. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Weimin to go with us to watch the joke!"
Wei Ling fiddled with the tea cup and dismissed her philistine words, but the corners of her mouth were raised: "Take a photo and they will see it."
They had heard before that Jiang Xianrou didn't come and deliberately messed up Qiao Nian's college entrance banquet, so they came here today to watch the fun.
But neither Shen Jingyan nor Qiao Weimin came.
Mainly because I don't bother to do these little tricks.
Wei Ling didn't think her act of watching the excitement was a small gesture. It was rare for her to see Qiao Nian's jokes, so she didn't mind wasting some time.
"I'll take a picture and send it to Jingyan." She said, took out her mobile phone, and took a picture at the entrance of the crowded banquet hall. She also deliberately took a picture of Jiang Zongnan's worried expression but still forcing a smile.
After taking the photo, she was in a good mood and sent it to Shen Jingyan.
I also added a sentence below.
[It’s eleven o’clock at noon, and no one came to Qiao Nian’s college entrance banquet today.]
After she sent the message, she raised the corners of her mouth and asked Shen Qiongzhi, who was sitting opposite her: "Did you bring the invitation letter sent to you by the Jiang family?"
"I brought it." Shen Qiongzhi took out the red invitation letter from his handbag and said with a smile: "I will definitely bring this kind of thing with me, just in case we want to have a meal at noon..."
Wei Ling took a deep look at her and felt for the first time that her sister-in-law was not hopelessly stupid. She even knew to take the invitation letter before going out.
She took the invitation that Shen Qiongzhi had placed on the table, stood up, and was holding her handbag ready to go over to 'congratulate' her.
Who knew, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corner of my eye - Yuan Yongqin?
Yuan Yongqin was still dressed like a professional woman, accompanied by several people from the Yuan family in Beijing. She walked politely to Jiang Zongnan and Tang Wanru and handed them red envelopes.
"Congratulations, I heard from Niannian that she is hosting a college entrance banquet here today."
Yuan Yongqin herself is a successful business woman. She has long been accustomed to these small talk scenes. She speaks tactfully and pleasantly, which gives Jiang Zongnan face. However, she is so tactful and knows how to behave, and she does not give Tang Wanru a stingy look at Jiang Zongnan during the whole process. He didn't even look at it, as if he didn't see it.
"Deputy Director Jiang won't blame me for coming uninvited."
She smiled and said it politely.
Jiang Zongnan didn't expect Yuan Yongqin to come at all, but he heard Jiang Li mention that Qiao Nian had a good relationship with Yuan Yongqin from Chengfeng Group, so he came to his senses and immediately waved people in.
