He remembered that it was very difficult for them to enter the group stage in this world-class competition. The top players of the 16 countries had to fight for the only spot.
So Qiao Nian was the first place in the final?
Jiang Yao’s mind buzzed, and a string in his mind was tense.
He was so shocked that he was not in the mood to talk to Lu Zhi’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard only came down from the elevator to tell them that Lu Zhi would not see them. He left coldly after saying that.
Xu Jishen had long guessed that the big boss would not see them. After the bodyguard left, he raised his eyebrows and said, “As expected, he doesn’t have time to care about us.”
This was an ending that he had long known!
Who was Lu Zhi?
He was in charge of Tian Chen Corporation. He was already the first in the illegal district at a young age.
A person like Lu Zhi did not lack money, power, or influence.
There was really no need to see small fries like him and Jiang Yao.
Xu Jishen had never thought that Lu Zhi would meet them. Thus, he was not disappointed. He retracted his gaze and pressed a hand on Jiang Yao’s shoulder. He asked casually, “Jiang Yao, shall we go for a drink later?”
Since he was already out, Xu Jishen felt that it was quite boring to go back without doing anything. He decided to ask Jiang Yao out for a cup of tea.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao frowned and pushed his hand away. He rejected him in frustration. “I’m not going. Go ahead.”
Xu Jishen: “?”
When Jiang Yao saw him looking at him in confusion, he felt even more frustrated. He didn’t know how to tell him about his sister’s coquettish actions. He pursed his lips and adjusted his mood before reluctantly saying, “I have something to do at home. I don’t have time today. Another day.”
“Isn’t your family fine?” Xu Jishen had just heard from him that his family didn’t even have time to eat with Qiao Nian.
Jiang Yao was too embarrassed to mention it. He glanced to the side. “…I have something on at the last minute.”
Xu Jishen wasn’t a fool. He could tell that Jiang Yao was feeling uneasy and his mind was clearly not here. He did not force him anymore. He waved his hand and said casually, “Forget it. You can go back first. I won’t drink water. I’ll go back and accompany my grandfather.”
Jiang Yao felt guilty and patted his shoulder. “I’ll treat you another day.”
“Okay.” Xu Jishen waved at him, indicating that he should leave first. “Let’s talk about it another day.”
Jiang Yao felt even more guilty. “I’ll call you in advance another day.”
Without waiting for Xu Jishen to reply, he had something on his mind and could not wait to ask someone. He frowned and retracted his hand. He hurriedly said to Xu Jishen, “I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll leave first.”
“Bye.”
Xu Jishen waved at him and watched as Jiang Yao’s back disappeared from view. Only then did he retract his gaze and prepare to go back.
However, from the corner of his eye, he saw the elevator door open and a valiant figure walk out.
He looked surprised. Xu Jishen watched as a woman came out of the elevator and strode out of the hotel.
After she left, he whispered, “What’s going on? Why are the big shots of the illegal district all in Beijing? Are they playing mahjong together?”
Xu Jishen watched Jian Jin leave quickly. After some thought, he decided to go back and discuss it with his grandfather.
Tian Chen’s big boss appeared in the country this time. On the surface, he was here to send Old Master Wei off.
However, the other party had no intention of leaving after going to the Wei family to pay his respects. The reason behind this was thought-provoking.
He was different from Jiang Yao.
After all, his grandfather still had real power in the Xu family. He was much more sensitive in certain aspects than Jiang Yao.
Xu Jishen did not delay any longer and left hurriedly with his phone.
