Chapter 700: Honors Ceremony

Xue Sheng’s eyes gradually widened when he heard this. He could not help but gulp.

Xue Sheng had slowly risen from the bottom. Otherwise, Old Master Xue and the old lady would not have the aura of the nouveau riche.

When he was in Bin City, meeting Elder Gao was already the biggest event he had ever partic.i.p.ated in in his life. Later, he moved to the capital with Ye Li and his daughter. Recently, Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company had been in frequent contact with many people.

However, the more they interacted, the more they realized that their family’s foundation was lacking.

The t.i.tle of a hundred-year-old family was not for nothing.

However, Xue Sheng had made the Xue family develop into what it was today because he relied on his brute force and ruthlessness. Hence, during this period of time in the capital, he’d been busy every day, working hard and studying hard, wanting to squeeze into the aristocratic circle.

Moreover, his daughter was awesome, his wife was famous, and they had connections with the Li family since their daughters were dormitory mates. He was neither servile nor overbearing, so he gradually became like a fish in water.

Even so, meeting that Lin Jing and that person… Xue Sheng was still feeling out of place!

Panic!

He coughed and said, “This is too fast. No matter what, we have to make an appointment in advance! If the dinner is tomorrow night, we won’t have time to order customized clothes.”

Ye Li: “…Customized what? Just wear your usual clothes. Lin Jing won’t care about this.”

Xue Sheng immediately waved his hand. “What do you know? You’re an artist. Since Lin Jing admires you so much, she must have a filter for you since she likes your paintings. I’m different. I can’t pull you down. Sigh! You don’t know, but these century-old families are all very particular…”

Recalling the things that he had learned from the Li family recently, Xue Sheng said, “For example, the clothes that the aristocrats wear are all custom-made. They’re not the kind of products that we understand. They’re all very low-profile. They also have their own rules when it comes to drinking and eating. Hence, we can’t show any timidity!”

Ye Li: “…No, this is just a meeting between friends. There’s no need for that. If Lin Jing would look down on me because of this, then I don’t need such a friend. Moreover, it’s not like I haven’t seen her before. After we met last time, Lin Jing became even more enthusiastic about me!”

Xue Sheng: “…But you didn’t bring me last time!”

Ye Li: “?”

She suddenly recalled that she had brought Xixi along last time.

However…

Ye Li looked at her phone hesitantly. “Why ask me to bring my husband and child for this meal? This makes it seem as though the two families are sitting down to discuss the wedding date. It’s too strange…”

Xue Sheng had already rushed into the bedroom to look for clothes.

There was no choice. Anyone who wanted to see that person could not not be excited, right?

…

Xue Xi had already arrived at the special department.

She was a little late after coming back home.

Hence, the moment she entered, she saw Zheng Zhi looking at her coldly. His words were filled with mockery.

Xue Xi had long been used to his words. She ignored him like usual, and this made Zheng Zhi so angry that he stomped his feet. He felt that Xue Xi was simply a rotten piece of wood that could not be carved. In the end, he could only hatefully say, “With your att.i.tude, how can Mr. X teach you many things? Xue Xi, let me tell you, if you anger Mr. X and affect the progress of the special department’s internet department, you have to take responsibility!”

Xue Xi: “…Oh.”

“…”

Every time he spoke to Xue Xi, he felt as though he had punched cotton. He could not exert any force and was very angry.

The morning pa.s.sed in a flash.

After all, Xue Xi was not familiar with the special department, so she did not want to stay for long. Hence, she sped up in the morning and set up the framework of the surveillance system. The rest was up to the other people in the Internet department.

She planned to drop by Huaxia University tomorrow.

In the afternoon, just as Xue Xi was about to continue her programming, she was interrupted. “Xue Xi, stop what you’re doing. Let’s go. There’s a commendation ceremony in the big conference room!”

Ceremony?

Xue Xi paused. She wanted to say that she did not want to go, but she felt that this would make her too unsociable.

Moreover…

Even if she did not go, she could not study even if she stayed here. After all, Xiang Huai had told her that she had to study less and recuperate (the original words were to fall in love more) in order to acc.u.mulate energy and not lose her memory so easily.

Hence, Xue Xi stood up and followed everyone to the meeting room.

The large conference room was actually the auditorium. It could accommodate 70 to 80 people. When everyone arrived, they all found seats and sat down.

After Xue Xi entered, she was just about to walk forward when she heard a voice behind her. “Sister Yi is here!”

“Everyone, make way! Please make way!”

“Sister Yi is today’s main lead!”

Xue Xi was slow. Before she could dodge, the person behind her b.u.mped into her…
