She threw back the quilt, climbed out of bed, walked into the bathroom in her slippers, turned on the faucet with one hand, and splashed cold water on her face.
The cold water splashed on her face, and Qiao Nian finally sobered up a little.
She turned on the faucet, glanced at the sleepy person in the mirror, took a deep breath, and adjusted her breathing. She turned around and walked out, her tone much lighter: "It's okay. I set the alarm to wake up at this time."
Qiao Nian didn't lie.
She did set the alarm specifically.
But she adjusted the time to an hour later.
Nan Tianyi called too early, waking her up from bed an hour in advance.
Qiao Nian walked to the desk, stretched out his hand to pull out a chair and sat down, lowering his eyes, and asked nonchalantly: "Uncle Nan, do you have something to talk to me about?"
When she asked this, Nan Tianyi felt embarrassed and coughed softly to cover up his embarrassment. He smiled and said, "I was worried that you would forget to come to the Intercontinental for lunch, so I called you in advance to tell you. I didn't expect you were still sleeping..."
Qiao Nian guessed that he was looking for her for this matter, so she nodded and said calmly, "I remember, don't worry."
Nan Tianyi spoke a few more words to her, and then he heard Xie Tingyun calling him from the other end of the phone.
Nan Tianyi stopped talking to Qiao Nian and reminded her carefully, "Niannian, there are many guests today. Remember to tell me before you come. I will go out to pick you up."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian responded and looked at the time. It was not yet 9 o'clock, and there were still three hours before lunch.
She estimated the departure time and said to Nan Tianyi, "I'll be there around half past ten, is that ok?"
"Ten thirty? Hmm? Then you will arrive at the hotel around eleven?" Nan Tianyi calculated the time and said readily, "Sure. You just need to arrive at the hotel before eleven thirty. Come half an hour early. Your Aunt Xie wants to introduce you to some friends."
Xie Tingyun’s friends must be well-known figures in the Independent Continent, which can also be regarded as a handover of personal connections.
Qiao Nian pressed his temple, did not reject the kindness of Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun, and nodded: "I know."
"Your Aunt Xie is calling me, I'll go over first." Nan Tianyi said with a smile: "Niannian, remember to call me if you have anything." "Okay."
Qiao Nian hung up the phone, put the phone away and looked down.
Zhou Zhou sent her a message early in the morning, asking her if she had left.
Feng Yu also sent her a message last night, staying up at one in the morning, asking her if she wanted to wear formal clothes tomorrow.
Then came the news about Shen Qingfeng... He meant almost the same thing, mainly asking Old Lady Shen what kind of gift she liked.
Qiao Nian didn't invite many people.
In addition to inviting Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si and Gu San, she also called a few people who had a good relationship with her in the research institute.
That is, the three people from Group 10.
Shen Qingfeng, Xu Yi and Xue Zhu.
Shen Qingfeng had made an appointment with her on behalf of the old lady before, and the old lady had taken the initiative to express her concern several times, so Qiao Nian asked Shen Qingfeng to bring the old lady to dinner together.
So she invited a total of seven or eight people.
She didn't know how many people Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi had invited.
However, Xie Tingyun had told her before that today was just a small banquet, and only invited some good friends to have dinner together.
Qiao Nian had not been to the InterContinental Hotel and did not know the situation there.
Based on what Xie Tingyun said, she estimated that not many people would eat there today.
About two or three tables.
