Chapter 37 Dinner with the Qi family (two chapters in one)

About ten minutes later, Jiang Ning appeared at the door of Shixin Hotel.

After the three members of the Qi family heard that Jiang Ning had agreed to meet her, they had been sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby waiting for her. When Jiang Ning's figure appeared at the door, the front desk had watched the surveillance video several times before they could react. The three members of the Qi family recognized Jiang Ning at first sight.

Ji Shuang stood up quickly and walked quickly to Jiang Ning, with a friendly smile on her delicate and well-maintained face.

The receptionist who reacted followed Ji Shuang closely and took the initiative to introduce Jiang Ning: "Miss Jiang, this is Master Qi's mother."

Then he pointed at Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen, who were half a step slower, and said, "These are Master Qi's father and eldest brother."

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Master Qi?"

When following the introduction of the front desk staff, her eyes fell on Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen, Jiang Ning was slightly startled.

"It's my youngest son, Qi Xingzhou. He is the person who met with you in the elevator accident that night." Ji Shuang said. She looked at Jiang Ning, who was fair and freshly dressed in front of her. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She felt special. Close eyes.

"Thanks to you that night, my Xingzhou was claustrophobic. If you hadn't helped him, I don't know what would have happened that day."

The gratitude on Ji Shuang's face was so strong that it was difficult to ignore it. Jiang Ning didn't quite understand Ji Shuang's enthusiasm and said modestly, "Auntie, actually I didn't do anything."

She was telling the truth. She didn't do much to help Qi Xingzhou in the elevator that day. At best, she just took a night light from her backpack and gave it to him.

And it’s also a very cheap night light.

Ji Shuang smiled and shook her head. Jiang Ning didn't know Qi Xingzhou's condition, so she felt this way.But the hotel lobby was crowded with people, so it was not a good place to talk. Ji Shuang took Jiang Ning's hand cordially and said, "It's almost noon now. You haven't eaten yet, right? Can we treat you to a meal?"

Jiang Ning just agreed to come to the hotel on her mobile phone. First, she heard that the family was already waiting for her in the hotel, and she felt that the other party's attitude was very sincere.

Second, she happened to be driving outside and had nothing to do, so she agreed to come over and meet her.

Originally, Jiang Ning's idea was that she would simply meet him once, say a few words and then leave.

Now...let's eat together?
It doesn't seem to work either.

Jiang Ning smiled and agreed: "I haven't eaten yet and I happen to be a little hungry. Thank you, auntie."

Ji Shuang was overjoyed and immediately took Jiang Ning to the VIP box on the second floor.

The first and second floors of the Shih Hsin Hotel are places where guests can eat, and usually host wedding banquets, full moon wine, celebration wine, etc. The hotel rooms are located on the third floor and above.

The waiter followed a few people attentively and handed the order book to the four of them after they were seated.

Ji Shuang sat next to Jiang Ning, pushed the order book towards Jiang Ning, and asked her if there was anything she wanted to eat.

This lady had no airs and was very approachable. Jiang Ning lowered her head to look at the menu with her and generously ordered two of her favorite dishes.

Ji Shuang asked Jiang Ning if there were any foods she was allergic to or didn't like. After getting Jiang Ning's reply, Ji Shuang skillfully ticked eight or nine dishes on the menu, as well as two desserts and a piece of fruit.

The waiter took the order book and left. Qi Jingshan, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly said calmly: "Miss Jiang, do you know us?"

He is truly a business giant!

What a sharp intuition!

She must have just glanced at the father and son!

Jiang Ning raised her head, nodded with a smile, and admitted frankly: "I met her from afar at a banquet before."

"Oh? What kind of banquet?" Ji Shuang looked curious: "Jiang Jiang looks so young, he should still be in college. Is it a banquet brought to you by the elders of the family?"

Ji Shuang was like a stranger. Because she heard the staff call Jiang Ning Miss Jiang, she changed her name to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Ning: "Yeah, that's about right. I just graduated this year and don't have a stable job yet."

Attending the banquet was last year.

At that time, there was a birthday for the father of a company CEO, and Huo Song spent a lot of effort before getting an invitation letter.

Originally, Huo Song didn't want to take Jiang Ning out. In his eyes, although Jiang Ning was his biological daughter, Jiang Ning grew up in the countryside and knew nothing about the etiquette of wealthy families. She was not as proficient in everything as Huo Miao.

But Huo Miao likes to take Jiang Ning to such grand banquets the most, because every time she takes Jiang Ning out, she can feel the sense of superiority set off by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning is a green leaf, and she is the red flower set off by the green leaves.

However, of course Huo Miao would not show her little thoughts. She would only hold Huo Song's arm and act coquettishly, saying that if she took Jiang Ning with her, she would have an extra companion, and then Huo Song agreed to take Jiang Ning out.

The party hosting the banquet seemed to be quite prestigious in the capital, and Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen's father and son also went.

Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen, father and son, were obviously not the protagonists of the banquet, but they were surrounded by people who wanted to come forward to curry favor.

Of course, the main reason why Jiang Ning remembers the Qi family and his son is Huo Miao.

Huo Miao liked Qi Chen and deliberately came forward with a glass of red wine. While ogling Qi Chen, she also wanted to deliberately lean into him.

As a business genius, Qi Chen seems to not only be good at business, but also has a pair of intelligent eyes with the ability to detect bitches. When Huo Miao deliberately pretended to fall and lean against him, Qi Chen seemed to predict Huo Miao's move in advance. He took a sharp step back, perfectly avoiding Huo Miao and the glass of red wine in her hand.

Huo Miao fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the glass of red wine in her hand was poured on her body, showing her ugly appearance.

Jiang Ning, who was sitting in the corner and watching this scene happen, almost laughed out loud.

Later, she deliberately checked the background of the Qi family on the Internet. Compared with the Huo family, who suddenly accumulated wealth in a short period of time, the Qi family is a truly famous and upper-class family. It is an existence that the Huo family has no way to climb high.

Huo Miao was eyeing Qi Chen at that time, which shows how ambitious he was.The Qi family and the Huo family were obviously on different levels. Jiang Ning also didn't expect that the beautiful boy she gave a night light to in the elevator that day turned out to be the second young master of the Qi family.

But...why didn't he come together today?

When Ji Shuang heard that Jiang Ning had not yet stabilized her job, her eyes lit up: "Do you have a career that you are interested in?"

Before meeting Jiang Ning, Ji Shuang originally wanted to examine her, but after meeting her in person, Ji Shuang particularly liked Jiang Ning's clean temperament.

She couldn't even wait and couldn't wait to poach people.

"Not yet." Hearing that Ji Shuang seemed to want to introduce a job to her, Jiang Ning revealed calmly: "I just signed a work contract a few days ago, and I may start working in a few days."

"That's it..." Ji Shuang felt a little regretful.

The two chatted about other things, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Although Ji Shuang looked familiar, she was not stupid. After hearing Jiang Ning explain the banquet in a vague way, Ji Shuang never asked any questions about Jiang Ning's family.

Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen, two grown men, sat across from each other, but they couldn't say anything.

However, looking at their identical serious expressions and business elite images, it seems that it is normal for them not to speak.

Soon, the waiter came in with a small cart for serving food.

Seeing the dishes with delicious flavors and flavors being served on the table, but Qi Xingzhou's figure did not appear, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Second Young Master Qi coming over today?"

Hearing Jiang Ning take the initiative to ask Qi Xingzhou, Ji Shuang couldn't hold back the happy smile on her face: "Ignore him, let's eat more!"

After the meal, Ji Shuang's name for Jiang Ning changed from "Jiang Jiang" to "Ning Ning" as she became close to him.

After eating, Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen said goodbye to Jiang Ning and left early because of their busy schedules.

Before leaving, Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen both invited Jiang Ning, saying that if she had time, she could go to Qi's house to play with Xingzhou.

After the two of them left, Ji Shuang whispered to Jiang Ning in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, father and son are like this. They have cold faces and warm hearts. They are like ice cubes all day long. Each one's expression is colder than the other."

Jiang Ning laughed: "I'm not afraid."

Perhaps seeing Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen go out, a waiter pushed the door in and cleared away the remnants on the table, leaving two plates of desserts and a plate of after-dinner fruit still on the table.

Ji Shuang stretched out her hand to add a cup of hot tea to Jiang Ning, and then slowly said: "Before eating just now, were you curious as to why Xingzhou is not here?"

"Actually, when we went out, we wanted to take him out, but he didn't want to come out with us."

"He is the same age as you. He has suffered from personality defects since he was a child and was born with psychological autism. When he was only a few months old, we discovered that he was different from other children."

"His brother Qi Chen was quite noisy when he was a child, but he gradually developed his current calm character when he grew up. Xingzhou is completely different. He is born with no emotions and does not communicate with anyone. Even the communication with us is very slow. few."

"However, after the accident in the elevator last time, he didn't go out for several months. During this period, he would go out every evening holding the night light you gave him, and would wait at the hotel elevator door for several hours. , no one can persuade me to leave.”

"We never knew why he did this before. We thought it was the first time he encountered an elevator malfunction, which had some psychological impact. We also specially invited doctors to come to our home to check him several times, and the doctors said he was fine. "

"It wasn't until yesterday that Qi Chen discovered the reason. Xingzhou might be waiting for you at the elevator door. After hearing what he said, we immediately went to the hotel to retrieve the surveillance video of that day. Then we discovered that you had helped him in the elevator. "

"For this reason, Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen specially promoted the company's affairs and came to the hotel with me to meet you in person to express their respect and gratitude to you."

Ji Shuang said, picking up the bag she had put aside and taking out the thank you gift she had prepared.

"Originally, we should have contacted you a long time ago to thank you in person for your help to Xingzhou that night. I hope it's not too late now. This is our little thought." Ji Shuang said, packaging a palm-sized A very delicate box was placed in Jiang Ning's hand.

Jiang Ning didn't expect Ji Shuang to say so much in one breath.

When she was checking news about the Qi family on the Internet, she didn't see any news about Qi Xingzhou, only about Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen.

Moreover, I have not heard from Huo Song or Huo Miao that there is a young master in the Qi family. I think the Qi family has kept the news about him very well out of consideration for the protection of Qi Xingzhou.

Looking at the exquisite small box handed over by Ji Shuang, Jiang Ning's first reaction was to refuse: "Actually, I didn't really do anything. The meal you just treated me to is enough to express my gratitude."

"Keep it, it's not something valuable." After Ji Shuang put the thing in Jiang Ning's hand, she deliberately pressed her hand to prevent her from rejecting it, her strength was gentle but firm.

"Besides, I actually have selfish motives. I would like to invite you to my house to see Xingzhou, okay?" Ji Shuang may have known that this request was a bit too much, and added: "When I owe you a favor and you need help in the future, Or if you have anything you want now, you can put it forward and I will do whatever I can to help you complete it."

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Ning expectantly: "Is that okay?"

No matter how high her status in the upper class circle is, no matter how much she is worth, at this moment, Ji Shuang is just an ordinary mother.

Jiang Ning didn't think much about it and nodded: "Okay."

She raised the delicate little box in her hand: "This is my reward for visiting him."

Jiang Ning had just said that the meal she had today was enough to offset what she had done to help Qi Xingzhou last time.

Ji Shuang was stunned and suddenly laughed.

After all, she is also Qi Jingshan's wife and Qi Chen's mother. There are not many opportunities for her to take the initiative to owe a favor.

Since Jiang Ning knew the identities of Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen, it was impossible not to understand this truth.

Her youngest son is a little stupid, but his vision of looking at people has obviously been inherited from her, and he has great wisdom!
