At the same time, on the first floor of the InterContinental Hotel, Ji Xiao was also doing business nearby.
He was originally walking forward surrounded by a group of people. When he passed by a girl who was playing with her mobile phone, Ji Xiao couldn't help but stop.
"Boss Ji, what's wrong?"
As soon as Ji Xiaoyi stopped, the people following him also stopped and looked carefully in the direction he was looking. They only saw people coming and going in the magnificent hotel lobby. They couldn't make out what was going on, so they nodded and bowed to ask him.
Ji Xiao did not answer at first, but frowned, staring straight in the direction of the elevator with his sharp eyes.
The elevator door just closed.
He didn't have time to see clearly whether the person who just walked past was someone he knew.
"Boss Ji, did you run into anyone you know?" His subordinates saw him staring at the direction of the elevator and asked him, "Should we follow him?"
Ji Xiao retracted his gaze: "No, I just think that person is familiar. But that person can't be here, I must have seen it wrongly."
"..." The person next to him looked puzzled and looked in the direction of the elevator, but the elevator had already gone up and nothing could be seen.
He also didn't know who Ji Xiao was talking about.
Ji Xiao's expression had returned to normal, and he took the lead and walked forward: "Let's go, Dr. Liao is still waiting for us."
He walked in front.
The people around him followed immediately.
…
There is a quiet tea restaurant on the first floor of the InterContinental Hotel. The environment here is elegant and there are separate private rooms, which are very suitable for discussing things.
When Ji Xiao arrived at the tea restaurant, someone came over to lead the way.
He was led to a private room, knocked on the door and went in. "Boss Ji, you're here."
"Mr. Ji."
"Uncle."
There were already a few people in the box. As soon as Ji Xiao entered, the people inside stopped chatting and greeted him.
Ji Xiao also changed his usual stern attitude, smiled warmly, walked up quickly and shook hands with a middle-aged man: "Dr. Liao, long time no see, long time no see."
The man he called Dr. Liao was probably in his early fifties. Not only did he have an ordinary appearance, but he was also mostly bald and wore thick glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wore a white coat with the buttons buttoned to the collar. He looked humble and petty.
He also extended his hand to shake hands with Ji Xiao. Although it was not flattering, it was obvious that he was very polite to Ji Xiao: "Mr. Ji, long time no see. I met Miss Ji at the institute a few days ago and she mentioned you. Mr. Ji is still as imposing as ever."
"Dr. Liao, you are too polite." Ji Xiao smiled, let go of her hand, and said, "Please sit down."
He also took off his suit jacket and put it on a chair beside him, pulled out the chair and sat down, then looked at the doctor sitting far away from him and went straight to the point: "Dr. Liao, you are from the First Institute. The triennial assessment is coming up soon. Do you think the candidate we nominated this year has the potential to enter the institute?"
The candidate nominated by the Ji family this year is also from the Ji family. Like Ji Zinyin, he belongs to the side branch and his name is Ji Hongfeng.
This Ji Hongfeng is Ji Xiao’s nephew.
If his nephew could successfully enter the First Research Institute, it would also be a help to Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao would of course do his utmost to support Ji Hongfeng in entering the First Research Institute.
Of course, the First Research Institute was not a place he could control.
The prerequisite is that Ji Hongfeng himself must work hard.
