"Sure enough, she’s improved. Look at that overflowing smile. Tsk tsk, if you didn’t know the truth, who would guess this delicate beauty is ntally disturbed?"
"Even more unfathomable now!"
At a certain window, two people were discussing the woman they saw, none other than Qi Taiguo and Ning Ge.
Cheng Su’s office had a great location, on the second floor, just enough to see the entrance of the restaurant, so the two had a clear view of Chiang Qing’s every move.
"Who’s that old man?" Qi Taiguo noticed the old man with a rosy face next to Chiang Qing. Was it his imagination?
The way the old man looked at Chiang Qing, his gaze was really quite interesting!
"The provincial secretary from Yanjing, he’s got quite a connection with the Loo Family. Just last year, Old Master Loo helped Jiang Conghe make a connection." Ning Ge explained, "Chiang Qing could only get into that departnt through this old man’s influence."
"Hmm?"
Ning Ge then explained the complex relationships in the Capital, who was whose lifesaver, and how pathways were made: "These connections always link one after the other, extending continuously, just like factions in the ancient court."
Qi Taiguo nodded.
"Let’s go, there’s nothing worth watching. If the Chiang and Loo families fall, Chiang Qing won’t have anywhere to go either." Ning Ge withdrew his gaze and sat back down.
Qi Taiguo gave Chiang Qing a deep look before finally letting down the curtain.
As if by telepathy, Chiang Qing sensed a gaze falling upon her, so intense it made her uncomfortable and uneasy.
She looked towards the source of the gaze, but there was no one, not a single person, only an open window on the second floor with the curtains gently swaying in the breeze.
Chiang Qing tilted her head slightly. Was she mistaken?
"Xiao Chiang, let’s go!" Secretary Gao noticed the fragrance around him vanished and stopped in his tracks. Seeing Chiang Qing still standing there with her brows furrowed, he asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It’s nothing, just a mont of distraction!" Chiang Qing smiled.
"Welco." Qiulan stood at the entrance with two attendants greeting guests, her waist almost bent at ninety degrees. As she raised her head and saw Chiang Qing, her smile froze, and her expression changed slightly but quickly resud a nonchalant smile.
What’s going on, how co Military Doctor Chiang would appear here?
Chiang Qing noticed Qiulan’s expression, smirked slightly, thinking that at least soone rembered her!
Was Cheng Su here too?
The group followed Qiulan into a prepared private room. The interior was freshly decorated, with a warm arrangent. In front of each seat’s tableware was a na card of the dining guests, and Secretary Gao, of course, sat at the main seat.
The group seated according to hierarchy, Secretary Gao noticed Chiang Qing’s na was placed rather far and said, "Xiao Chiang, sit by ."
Accompanying them was the mayor from Qing City. Upon hearing this, discerning the implication, he imdiately switched his place with Chiang Qing.
Qiulan saw this, feeling slightly shocked, glanced at Chiang Qing, then served tea and handed out warm hand towels to everyone.
The towel ca to Chiang Qing. She took it, raised her head to look at Qiulan, and smiled slightly: "Qiulan, long ti no see. I rember you are Qiulan, right? Platoon Leader Lu’s sister-in-law?"
Qiulan was slightly stunned, smiled and nodded: "Hello!"
Secretary Gao looked curious and asked, "Does Xiao Chiang know this Director too?"
"Secretary Gao, don’t you rember? I used to be a military doctor at the military district here. I not only know this Director Li, but also the owner of this restaurant!" Chiang Qing gave a sweet smile and looked at Qiulan again: "By the way, is your boss here today?"
