When Ye Lan received the text message, he was outside at a social gathering. There were about ten people sitting in a private room. The banquet was in full swing, and they were toasting each other. A project worth over 100 million yuan was negotiated while they were chatting and laughing.
Ye Lan had two drinks, and after seeing the news, he stood up, pulled out his chair and said to everyone at the table, "Sorry, I have to go out and make a phone call."
Everyone at the banquet knew the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Upon hearing this, they all responded, "Mr. Ye, please feel free to do as you please."
"Yeah, we're just having a simple meal, please feel free to do as you please."
"go Go."
Ye Lan didn't bother to be polite with them. He took his cell phone and coat, pushed the door and walked out of the box.
As soon as she went out, she called Ye Wangchuan back.
The call was connected in seconds.
She didn't act coy and asked frankly, "Why do you suddenly want to see Mr. Huang? Is it because Nian Nian's test results are out?"
Gu San told her that Qiao Nian came to Beijing to take part in Tsinghua University's independent enrollment examination. She also wanted to invite Qiao Nian to dinner, but she never found the opportunity.
Ye Lan calculated in her mind that today seemed to be the day of Tsinghua University's independent enrollment examination. Her nephew suddenly sent her a message, which must have a deeper meaning.
"How did Nian Nian do in the exam?" This is what she was more concerned about.
As she was speaking, she walked out and happened to meet a few people coming out of a box, apparently heading towards the bathroom.
She took a look and saw that the girl was pretty. She seemed to have seen her somewhere before and she looked familiar.
Ye Lan took another look, but since they were quite far away, she was more focused on the phone call she was on, so she just glanced at him briefly before passing him by.
At this moment, she didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Her cool face suddenly showed a surprised expression. She couldn't control her emotions and blurted out: "You said full marks? She got full marks in the independent enrollment exam?!"
There were many people coming to Yu Mansion to eat, and the corridors were full of waiters. She didn't control her voice for a moment and spoke too loudly, attracting many people to look at her.
Ye Lan could feel the curious looks from those around him and could hardly hide the joy on his face. With his other hand on his cell phone, he quickened his pace and walked out.
While walking, he was still talking on the phone: "You didn't tell me before that her grades were so good. I was still thinking about whether I should find a connection in advance. I worried for nothing. By the way, tomorrow morning..."
…
She left in a hurry and Qiao Chen only saw her back, but noticed the coat in her hand.
She has been in Beijing for a month and usually stays with Wei Ling. Although Wei Ling doesn't take her to social events and rarely lets her go out, she occasionally gets to meet the socialites and ladies in Beijing's upper circles. What these people wear and hold in their hands are not what she had come into contact with before in Raocheng!
What she used to think were famous brands were no different from street vendor goods in the eyes of these people. Even a cell phone case that someone casually held in their hands might be designed by some master.
The same thing happened with the coat she just saw, a collaboration with Balenciaga, a limited edition worldwide, and it seemed like there was only one!
As for the price, this is a limited edition design with only one piece in the world, so of course the price is jaw-droppingly expensive.
Qiao Chen was concerned not only about the coat, but also about the phone call she overheard. She turned her head and casually asked, "Aunt, I just heard someone say that someone got full marks. Could it be the entrance exam for Tsinghua University?"
Wei Ling felt too bored staying in the private room while eating, so she came out to get some fresh air and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, but Qiao Chen insisted on following her.
