He was completely stunned. He held his phone for a long time before he stiffly turned his head to Luo Qing. He had an expression that was uglier than crying as he said, “Leader Luo… Why didn’t you tell me that Miss Qiao is Master Nie’s last disciple?”
Luo Qing: “???”
“Master Nie?”
He reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone. “Let me see!”
What the h.e.l.l would he know? Third Young Master Gu and Master w.a.n.g had never said that Miss Qiao knew Master Nie. He was born and raised in Beijing. Of course, he knew that the members of the few big families in Beijing all wanted to be Master Nie’s last disciple. So Master Nie’s last disciple was Miss Qiao????
…
The banquet hall on the third floor of Huanyu Hotel was filled with guests.
Although Wei Ling had said that Qiao Chen wouldn’t be holding the celebratory banquet this time, for the sake of her pride and because the hotel booking couldn’t be canceled at the last minute, she braced herself and invited many friends over.
However, if Wei Ling did not come, no one from the Tang family would come either. The quality of the entire banquet fell greatly.
Although there seemed to be a lot of people, most of them were relatives from the Qiao family. Other than that, there were also some business partners of Qiao Weimin’s.
However, not many people from the latter came.
After all, the rise of the Qiao Corporation in Rao City previously had a lot to do with Cheng Feng Corporation. Later on, Cheng Feng Corporation openly fell out with the Qiao Corporation. After they no longer gave the Qiao Corporation face, most of the Qiao family’s partners took the initiative to lean toward Cheng Feng Corporation and slowly cut ties with the Qiao family…
Even so, the banquet’s atmosphere was strange.
Most of the Qiao family relatives knew about the family’s lousy matters. It was originally a good thing that Qiao Chen got into Qing University, and it was worth celebrating.
However, Qiao Nian, who had been personally chased out by Shen Qiongzhi, was ranked first. Qiao Chen’s 19th place seemed a little ridiculous now.
Especially since Qing University had just announced her results to the public today. When she casually checked the Internet, all she saw was news of Qiao Nian getting first place.
As this kind of result had never been released before they went around the city, when the results were announced in the morning, First High School even specially set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Banners congratulating Qiao Nian on her good results could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.
Qiao Chen had also been admitted to Qing University. She was registered as a student at Fifth High School. Although Fifth High School had also put up a banner to celebrate, she, the 19th place, was suppressed so much that she couldn’t even raise her head.
It was clearly a good thing, but Qiao Chen was covered in dirt during the meal. She could feel her relatives and friends looking at her teasingly from time to time.
The gazes were like steel knives, the blades sc.r.a.ping her heart.
Her face was pale the entire time. Halfway through the meal, she pushed the bowl away, forced a smile, and said, “Mom, I’m going to the washroom.”
“You haven’t eaten much.”
Qiao Chen was in no mood to eat when she saw that the gazes of the people at the table were on her. She barely supported her body as she stood up. “I’m full.”
Shen Qiongzhi saw that her expression was bad and patted her hand worriedly. “Go. Come back early.”
“Okay.” Qiao Chen pulled out the chair and didn’t even look back as she walked quickly out of the banquet hall and walked to the railing outside. She finally found a place to relax.
She had just gone outside when Fu Ge followed her out.
“Brother Fu.” Seeing him, Qiao Chen finally forced a smile on her pale face and greeted the boy walking over.
Fu Ge was 1.8 meters tall and had a tall figure, looking quite handsome.
He walked over and looked at the girl who was dressed like a lily. He asked gently, “Why are you out so soon?”
