There was a time when the Zhu family was considered incredibly well off. Back then, Zhu Zimo’s grandfather ran the family.
And thus, even nowadays, people in the Beijing circles would respectfully call Zhu Zimo’s grandfather Elder Zhu.
Zhang Xuming was no exception from this even though he was older than Zhu Zimo’s grandfather.
However, later on, Elder Zhu passed away. The next generation of the Zhu family were unable to maintain the glory and reputation of the family.
And thus, nowadays, the Zhu family was considered to be a thin camel. Even though it was still bigger than the horse, its base and foundation were no longer strong.
Zhang Xuming and Zhu Zimo briefly said a few words out of courtesy. Then, Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo headed to the side.
He wasn’t very close with Zhang Xuming. It was already enough to leave a good impression. If he stayed in front of Zhang Xuming for a long time, the old gentleman may begin to dislike him.
And thus, Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo found a seat and sat down.
“Wait, isn’t that your cousin?” Zhu Zimo suddenly said. He caught a glimpse of Jian Yiling’s figure in the crowd.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo looked over in the direction that Zhu Zimo was gesturing in. Sure enough, she saw Jian Yiling.
Wasn’t she overseas yesterday? Was she back already?
[Domination] had just won the finals in Country Y yesterday.
“Does your cousin know someone from Xuming Medical Manufacturers?” Zhu Zimo asked.
Dr. F.S. and Xuming Medical Manufacturers were both in the medical circle. As a result, perhaps she knew someone from the company.
“She’s just a doctor. In theory, she wouldn’t have anything to do with Xuming Medical Manufacturers.”
Wen Ruo did not like to hear Zhu Zimo speak about Jian Yiling in such a tone.
However, Zhu Zimo did not notice Wen Ruo’s unhappiness: “However, she knows Elder Yun. Elder Yun is known by everyone in the medical world.”
Wen Ruo squeezed her hands that were hidden underneath the desk. She said with a soft voice: “Elder Yun wouldn’t necessarily know the people from Xuming Medical Manufacturers. Furthermore, even if he does, he might not introduce Jian Yiling to the company in the first place.”
“Hmmm, that’s true,” Zhu Zimo replied. “Then it’s probably due to Master Sheng. After all, she’s Master Sheng’s fiancee. It makes sense that she can attend the birthday today.”
This was the only possible and reasonable explanation.
Jian Yiling got off the plane this morning. After she got off the plane, Zhai Yunsheng requested for her to nap for a bit. She needed to recharge her energy levels.
As soon as Zhang Xuming saw Jian Yiling, he immediately stood up. He was about to walk over to her when Jian Yiling quickly walked over to him.
Jian Yiling’s seemingly unintentional actions were in consideration of Zhang Xuming’s legs and feet.
“You must have gone through a lot of trouble. I knew you were still in another country yesterday. You really didn’t have to rush back. It’s just my birthday. It’s not a big deal.”
As soon as he saw Jian Yiling, Zhang Xuming said a lot to her.
His face was also full of smiles. It was obvious that his joy when he saw Jian Yiling was different from when he saw the other guests.
“It’s okay, I’ve rested already,” Jian Yiling replied.
Then, Zhang Xuming accompanied Jian Yiling over to her seat.
All the guests that were close to Zhang Xuming had their fixed seats with their names written on them.
Jian Yiling’s seat was on the right-hand side of Zhang Xuming’s seat. In fact, it was right next to him.
This scene was noticed by many people.
Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo noticed this as well.
When they saw Jian Yiling seated there, a surprised expression appeared on their faces.
Then, Zhu Zimo said to Wen Ruo: “Wow, Master Sheng’s fiancee really means something. She’s seated in the most honored position among all the guests today.”
