Qi Lanyin glanced at Jiang Xianrou, whom she once looked down upon but is now enjoying great success. She sneered, clenched her palms, and reluctantly replied to Qi Yan: "Then aunt, I will come to see you later."
"good."
Qi Yan didn't have time to talk to her alone, as she was surrounded by other people in the blink of an eye.
Qi Lanyin clenched her hands hanging at her side, looked at Jiang Xianrou who was surrounded in the middle with disdain, turned her head, and walked away without looking back.
…
The Qi family's influence is mainly overseas, but it does not affect Qi Yan's own status and influence.
She is a member of the Qi family.
But he is unique in the Qi family.
Even Qi Rongguang, the head of the Qi family, had to give her face, not for anything else, but because Qi Yan married into a royal family in Europe.
Her husband is third in line to the throne, and she herself has been given the title of Countess.
None of this is the point.
The point is that these royal families have always had intricate ties with independent states, illegal areas and other places, and the forces behind them should not be underestimated.
Jiang Xianrou was able to get close to Qi Yan, which was definitely a leapfrog development.
Including this time.
Jiang Xianrou was able to join the Pharmacy Association thanks to Qi Yan’s help in the process, who used a lot of connections to help Jiang Xianrou get in.
Not only that, Jiang Xianrou is absolutely not qualified to join a place like the Pharmacy Association.
Exactly for this reason.
The Jiang family treated Qi Yan with the utmost respect. Jiang Yao accompanied them throughout the entire process and introduced Qi Yan to many connections in Beijing.
Qi Yan also gave him enough face and showed her great love for Jiang Xianrou throughout the whole process.
Jiang Xianrou was of course flattered and spoke to Qi Yan very carefully, fearing that she might not perform well and fail to please this godmother of such an important status.
She chatted with Qi Yan for a while, then said to Qi Yan: "Godmother, I'll go get ready first, you can chat slowly."
The preparation she was talking about was the piano performance. For this family reunion banquet, Jiang Xianrou had already planned to show off her skills in front of Qi Yan, so she agreed with Qi Yan to play a piano piece for her.
She stood up now and mentioned the piano playing.
Qi Yan immediately patted the back of her hand and said gently, "I've heard that you play the piano very well and have won international awards. I didn't win any awards when I was your age. It's amazing that you have achieved these things at such a young age."
"Then I'll wait for you."
Jiang Xianrou lowered her head hastily due to her praise, but her eyes and eyebrows could not hide her pride: "Yeah."
She said something to Jiang Zongnan and Tang Wanru again and left.

the other side.
Qiao Nian first went to the location that Lu Zhi had sent her and asked the waiter to confirm that this location was reserved by a Mr. Lu.
She pulled out a chair by the window, sat down, and ordered a glass of lemonade.
The waiter quickly brought the lemonade.
Qiao Nian drank water, played with his phone and waited for others.
Until she finished a whole glass of lemonade, Jian Jin and Lu Zhi had not arrived yet.
She checked the time.
11:45.
There are still fifteen minutes until the agreed time of twelve o'clock.
Qiao Nian stood up irritably, picked up his phone, and planned to go to the bathroom first.
She put on her baseball cap and pulled the brim down. As she walked, she sent a message to Jian Jin, telling her that she would only be away for a while.
The Imperial Palace is very large, and the decoration inside is low-key yet stylish.
After Qiao Nian sent the text message to Jian Jin, he put his phone back in his pocket and walked leisurely towards the bathroom.
