He vaguely remembered that in his sleepy haze that morning, the person next to him indeed seemed to have answered a phone call.
"I understand, stay safe."
"Okay, I’m off to get busy."
Clearly, both members of the couple were very busy.
One to fight fires and handle disasters, the other to save lives and offer help.
Both serving the people.
Before long, it was noon, and Lu Jing went with his colleagues to the cafeteria for a meal.
On the other side, at the XX City XX Grand Hotel’s guest dining room,
Jiang Ye was there, along with several leaders from the headquarters, and the rest were local business tycoons.
Dining with the big bosses, naturally, everything was extravagant!
Just the dishes laid out on the table—one of them alone probably equated to an ordinary person’s half month’s salary—and they were not the common dishes seen in the market.
In fact, some of these items were privately brought in by the bosses for the hotel chefs to prepare.
After all, the hotel definitely wouldn’t have these!
Or else, wouldn’t that be penalized to death?
But from the start, Jiang Ye hadn’t touched any of those dishes, spending more of his time drinking beverages.
Yes, that’s right, just beverages.
This, however, caught someone’s eye: The most update n0vels are published on novelFirｅ.net
"Captain Jiang, what’s the fun in drinking that? Let’s switch, drink this one I have here. This is the good stuff!"
"Old Qu, is that your private stash? How could you bear to bring it out?"
"Of course! These old fellas don’t need anything this fine. Naturally, it’s only for hosting esteemed guests that I’d bring it out!"
This secretly hoarded fine wine can’t even be bought with money.
Jiang Ye didn’t refuse, after all, one has to be flexible and think on their feet when out in public, and not be too rigid.
Such are the rules of society!
Of course, there was another reason: none of these people knew Jiang Ye’s true identity at this moment!
Let alone them, even people in his own team were unaware.
Otherwise, if the title of Young Master of the Jiang Family were revealed, well...
Once everyone started drinking, the atmosphere in the guest dining room obviously became even better.
Officially, no real business was discussed, with everyone chatting about miscellaneous things.
Who can finalize anything worth a damn at the dinner table?
This is just the appetizer, get it?
Suddenly, the private room door opened.
Jiang Ye and his few acquaintances certainly didn’t recognize the newcomer, but the others at the table did.
"Old Qu, your little princess is here!"
"Yo, Qu Zhi is getting prettier and prettier by the day. Truly, a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood."
"Nonsense, our Qu Zhi is now a big celebrity."
How could a big celebrity not look good?
Now Jiang Ye and his group finally understood; this lady was Old Qu’s daughter and also a famous actress.
As soon as Qu Zhi walked in, her eyes landed on Jiang Ye, and she was instantly smitten.
Wrapping her arms around her father’s neck:
"Daddy, who are they?" she asked.
"They are esteemed guests that Daddy and some uncles are hosting. Qu Zhi, what brings you here?"
"I just happened to be socializing nearby. Hearing that you were here, Daddy, I came to find you!"
Mr. Qu couldn’t have been happier, his old face bursting with smiles nonstop:
"You probably didn’t eat well while socializing, did you? Sit down and eat with Daddy."
In the past, Qu Zhi would’ve definitely declined, but this time, she readily agreed:
As sly as the folks sitting here were,
Who couldn’t tell what Qu Zhi’s response was all about?
Naturally, the old timers were more than happy to play matchmakers.
"Come, come, Qu Zhi, have a seat quickly. Over here; this side is all young people, you guys will surely have plenty to talk about."
