Zhong Yilu ignored these people the whole time. He leisurely drank the tea in front of him, looking calm and composed.
It was as if what these people said had nothing to do with him.
Ji Lingfeng didn't pay attention to what these people said. Instead, he tilted his head and asked Zhong Yiliu casually, "Mr. Zhong, you know Qiao Nian. What kind of person do you think she is?"
Ji Lingfeng is not a simple figure in the Independent Continent, and even the Pharmacy Association would not want to offend him.
Zhong Yiliu thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about Qiao Nian?"
Ji Lingfeng said "hmm" very gracefully and did not urge him.
Everyone at the main table turned their attention to Zhong Yiliu. They were all curious and wanted to know from Zhong Yiliu some news about the sudden heir of the Xie family.
Zhong Yiliu looked serious, looking at Ji Lingfeng and other curious people seriously, and replied calmly: "Oh, she is a genius."
Everyone at the table was in an uproar.
"Genius?" Someone couldn't help asking, confused, "Mr. Zhong, what do you mean by genius?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhong, what is a genius? Genius is not a word to describe a person."
They thought Zhong Yiliu would describe the other party as a person with adjectives such as sensible and kind, but no one expected that Zhong Yiliu's evaluation of Qiao Nian would be just two words - genius!
Zhong Yilu was unwilling to say anything more. He kept his mouth shut and waited anxiously for the lunch banquet to begin.
…
On the other side, outside the banquet hall.
Xie Tingyun held Qiao Nian's hand and whispered something to her.
"Niannian, you should have experienced this a long time ago, but unfortunately..." She seemed to want to mention Ji Qing, and when the words came to her lips, she smiled at Qiao Nian, gently reached out and touched the girl's hair, and said, "Today is a happy day, I shouldn't mention this."
"Follow me later and I'll introduce you to some elders."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian didn't seem to mind her half-sentenced words and was very good-tempered.
The pain in Xie Tingyun's eyes grew even more intense, and he immediately said to her: "I know you don't like these occasions. I've discussed this with your Uncle Nan, and we originally didn't want to have such a bash, but this is the fastest and best way to introduce you to the people of the Independent Continent, so we finally chose to have this meal. Nian Nian, you don't mind, do you?" Qiao Nian had already walked into the banquet hall.
She came in with Xie Tingyun, Nan Tianyi and others.
The eyes of people at more than 30 tables fell on her.
She reached out and pressed down her cap, restraining her banditry, and replied to Xie Tingyun in a gentle voice, "Aunt Xie, I don't mind."
When Xie Tingyun saw how tolerant and sensible she was, her heart was overwhelmed with the soft maternal love.
After they all came in, Xie Tingyun didn't say anything more and wanted to take Qiao Nian to meet her connections in the Independent Continent.
Before Qiao Nian was pulled away by Xie Tingyun, she looked up at Ye Wangchuan and Qin Si, pursed her lips, and said helplessly: "I'm going to take a walk with Aunt Xie first, what about you guys?"
Ye Wangchuan put one hand in his pocket, with an exceptionally dignified demeanor, and smiled at her: "Uncle Nan has arranged a seat for us, you don't have to worry about us."
Qiao Nian responded, and before leaving, he added, "I'll come find you guys when I'm done."
"Um."
Ye Wangchuan nodded.
The girl then restrained her unruly behavior and followed Xie Tingyun's footsteps.
…
Qiao Nian walked away.
Qin Si and Gu San attended the Independent Continent banquet for the first time and felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Qin Si had seen many such occasions in Beijing, so he was fine. He raised his head, looked at the noble and lazy man, and asked in a low voice: "Master Wang, where are we going to sit next?"
