Ji Haoyu, who had said nothing, also opened his mouth to persuade him.
Ji Haoyu’s status in Old Master Ji’s heart was unparalleled. Just this sentence made the old man, who had been politely refusing just now, nod. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s have a grand one!”
The elders looked at each other without batting an eyelid. They smiled bitterly in their hearts. No matter how hard they tried, they could not pare to just a sentence uttered by the grandson.
“Oh, right.” Old Master Ji seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at the butler, Wu Yong, and said, “Old Wu, get the invitation to the gala.”
Wu Yong nodded and went to the cabinet in the yard. He pulled open the drawer and took out a beautifully wrapped golden envelope.
After receiving it, the old man handed the envelope to Ji Haoyu and explained in a casual tone, “Haoyu, this is the invitation to this year’s Langxing Gala. Go on my behalf in three days.”
The Langxing Gala was organized by the Baiyun City Chamber of merce Alliance. It was a grand banquet that was held once a year in the upper-class society of Baiyun City. Those who were invited to attend were successful people who held important positions in the business world of Baiyun City.
As the top corporation in Baiyun City, the Ji Group was naturally invited every year. As the chairman of the Ji Group, Old Master Ji always went forward gladly.
This year, he planned to let Ji Haoyu take his place.
The deeper meaning was self-evident. Old Master Ji wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone in Baiyun City know that the Ji Group was going to change dynasties soon.
Everyone present lowered their breaths and did not dare to say anything.
How could the smart Ji Haoyu not see through his grandfather’s thoughts?
Taking the envelope, Ji Haoyu nodded with his usual expression. “I understand, Grandpa. I will attend on behalf of the Ji Group on time.”
Seeing that Ji Haoyu did not refuse, the old man could not help but smile and nod in satisfaction. “Bring Haoxue along. I think she hasn’t been going out much recently. She doesn’t even feel happy at home anymore.”
“Alright.” Ji Haoyu nodded in agreement.
…
Three days later.
In the bathroom, Jian Ai was facing the mirror, rolling her hair with an electric iron brush.
She bought this electric iron brush on the way back from the martial arts school yesterday. She also bought some simple cosmetics.
After her rebirth, Jian Ai had tied her hair into a ponytail most of the time. Occasionally, she would let her hair down, but this was the first time she did curls.
When she was at university in her previous life, students liked to go to a hair salon to do one-off curls. Later, they felt that five yuan a time was a little expensive, so the six of them in the dormitory bought an electric iron brush and helped each other heat their curls.
At that time, Jian Ai’s curly hair was recognized as the best-looking among her dormitory mates, so later on, everyone asked Jian Ai out for her to help heat the curls. Hence, it trained her ability to heat curls.
At that time, Jian Ai thought that if she couldn’t find a good job in the future, she could open a hair salon.
Her skills did not deteriorate because of her rebirth. She quickly did the hairstyle she wanted in the mirror. The slightly wavy hair looked natural and lively. She casually grabbed it twice and looked around with satisfaction. She smiled at the mirror.
She took out the newly bought lip gloss and applied it skillfully. Her lips immediately became as bright and pink as ice, and her lips moved.
She drew her eyebrows lightly and applied some blush appropriately. She instantly looked different.
For the first time since her rebirth, Jian Ai only put on light makeup, but it made her good foundation look even better.
