In the Yingsong Hall on the first floor.
Tang Wanru was talking to Qi Yan until Qi Lanyin came back. She found an opportunity to stand up gracefully and said to Qi Yan with a smile: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay, go ahead." Qi Yan put her handbag on her lap, smiled, and was very polite.
Tang Wanru left in a hurry.
After Tang Wanru left, she immediately put away the smile on her face, frowned and looked at Qi Lanyin who had returned, and asked coldly: "Why did you take so long to come back? What happened outside? I think the Jiang family's reaction is not right."
"Aunt, you know them, but I don't. There's no point in me coming in, so I'll just walk around outside and get some fresh air."
Qi Lanyin Shiran sat down next to her and continued calmly: "As for what happened outside, I don't know."
"When I came back, I saw a large group of people gathered outside, making a lot of noise. They seemed to be all relatives of the Jiang family, so I didn't go over to join in the fun."
Qi Yan observed her intently, and seeing that she looked calm and didn't seem to have caused any trouble for her, she felt slightly relieved: "I'm glad you didn't cause any trouble."
Qi Lanyin was not convinced and her eyebrows were very irritated: "Aunt, what can I do to cause trouble?"
Qi Yan found a mirror and lipstick in her handbag, touched up her makeup in the mirror, and put the lipstick back. She stared at her sharply and said, "I know you are not happy that I gave the quota for the Pharmacy Association to Jiang Xianrou instead of you."
When Qi Lanyin heard her mention the quota for the 'Pharmacy Association', her back stiffened and the expression on her face turned a little ugly.
"You got that quota by relying on your relationship with the Pharmacy Association. You can give it to whoever you want. I don't blame you for this..."
She said that she didn't blame Qi Yan, but her hands on her legs were clenched into fists.
Qi Yan was a very smart person. She could see through Qi Lanyin's unwillingness hidden beneath her non-competitive attitude.
She sighed imperceptibly, raised her hand and patted Qi Lanyin on the shoulder, but didn't want to say too much to her: "I know you are upset. You have always been talented in medicine. I have discussed with your father before and also wanted to give you the position in the Pharmacy Association, but something unexpected happened in the middle. You also know that our family almost didn't make it during that time..."
Qi Lanyin lowered her head, as if she had listened carefully: "I know, aunt, I don't blame you and my father. It's because I am not as skilled as others that I lost to Qiao Nian in the medical competition. Otherwise, with my own abilities, I could also enter the Pharmacy Association."
"It's good that you understand." Qi Yan's eyes and eyebrows were relieved. She patted her back and whispered to comfort her: "Jiang Xianrou is not as good as you in every way, but we can only give her the quota of the Pharmacy Association first. Her background is not as simple as you think. There are many inside stories behind this that you don't understand. I will tell you when I have the chance."
"Anyway, remember not to provoke her now. Try to have a good relationship with her. It will be good for you."
Qi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and said meaningfully: "This Jiang Xianrou has a great future!"
Qi Lanyin raised her head and looked at her aunt, frowning and then relaxing her brows. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't understand why her aunt valued the small Jiang family in Beijing so much.
Among the numerous families in Beijing, the Jiang family is really inconspicuous.
Not to mention that Jiang Xianrou was kicked out of the house by Mr. Jiang not long ago, and she was notorious in the upper circles of Beijing...
