Chapter 96: It turned out to be an acquaintance

  The woman wearing a dark green long dress walked straight into the women's restroom.

  Song Jian's hands weren't very dirty, so he quickly washed them and then waited at the door of the women's restroom.

  After a while, the woman walked out. Her appearance couldn't be described as beautiful, but it gave people an extremely ethereal feeling. Her temperament couldn't be said to be aloof, but there was a kind of oppressive feeling of being superior.

  As he saw the woman come out, Song Jian stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Song Jian."

  The woman stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Song Jian for a moment. She didn't extend her hand to shake hands with him, but simply nodded and said: "My name is Ling Su, your medical skills are not bad."

  Song Jian was stunned, he was the chief imperial physician of the Song Dynasty after all, how come at this moment, Ling Su, a little girl who looked like she was only 27 or 28 years old, had a higher status than him?

  "Let's be friends, I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you," Song Jian continued to extend his hand, he really wanted to ask Ling Su some questions.

  "If fate permits, we will meet again," Ling Su said, turning around and leaving.

  Song Jian had no choice but to give up. He had originally thought that he could take this opportunity to get a good understanding of Zhu You's medical skills, but he did not expect the other party to be so arrogant.

  "Huh?" Song Jian's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Ling Su's back again, and from Ling Su's body, he could vaguely feel a strong power, but this power seemed to be blocked by something, making it impossible for Song Jian to sense it accurately.

  "How did she end up here?" Song Jian followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on Ling Su's back.

  Ling Su walked straight up to a man and said a few words. The stout man nodded, and Ling Su left the party.

  "What are you looking at, Song Jian?" The woman's voice rose softly.

  Song Jian turned his head and saw that it was Xu Si. He pointed to the fat man who was talking to Ling Su and asked, "Xu Si, who is that person?"

  Xu Sishun followed Song Jian's finger and took a look, sighing: "Don't you even recognize our city's mayor? He is the youngest mayor in Jiangnan Province and also the mayor of our city, Jiang Dawei, who was transferred here at the beginning of this year."

  Song Jian nodded, not knowing how Ling Su was related to the mayor. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore and said: "Oh, I've got the contract for you, I left it with your grandfather when we were rescuing people earlier, let's go get it together."

  Xu Si nodded and the two of them walked towards Xu Haitian.

  At this time, Xu Haitian was discussing with Li Tianxiang, who was standing on the side, drinking alone with a gloomy face.

  "Grandpa, Song Jian said he's handed over the documents to you," Xu Si walked up to Xu Haitian and said.

  When he saw Song Jian and Xu Si standing together, Xu Haitian's face turned green with rage.

  At first, the engagement between Song Jian and Xu Si was indeed Xu Haotian's idea. At that time, the Song family group was one of the top three companies in Suzhou, and Song Jian was an overseas student with good moral character. Therefore, the marriage between Xu Si and Song Jian was strongly promoted by Xu Haotian. In order to prevent the Song family from changing their minds, they also wanted to give the Song family a reassurance. After they agreed on the engagement, they quietly had Song Jian and Xu Si obtain their marriage certificate.

  Of course, although Song Jian and Xu Si were already husband and wife in the eyes of the law, for young masters from these big families, the wedding ceremony was far more important than the marriage certificate.

  A wedding is a declaration to the outside world that two families have become one and formed a united front.

  So now, although Song Jian and Xu Si are already legally husband and wife, they are not recognized or known in the upper class of Gusu City because they did not hold a wedding.

  At this time, Song Jian and Xu Si walked side by side, Xu Haitian was very anxious, he was afraid that others would find out that his granddaughter had been engaged to the Song family before.

  "Oh, is this the document?" Xu Haitian handed over the document in his arms to Xu Si, and then introduced himself: "This is Song Jian, who knows some medical skills, and is a special assistant to my granddaughter."

  Xu Haitian took a step ahead to reveal Song Jian's identity, precisely to prevent Li Tianxiang from becoming suspicious.

  Li Tianxiang exclaimed in surprise: "Our Huaxia country is indeed full of talents, such a brilliant young doctor, turned out to be just an assistant."

  Li Wenyu heard Xu Haitian's words and sneered in his heart. He had originally seen Song Jian and Xu Si walking side by side, thinking that Song Jian was a major rival in love. Now he realized that Song Jian was just a special assistant after all. No wonder he dressed so shabbily...

  Song Jian guessed what was on Xu Haitian's mind, but just smiled and didn't explain.

  Xu Si gave her grandfather a sidelong glance before pulling Song Jian and taking their leave.

  "Song Jian, do you know Tinghao Company?" Xu Si asked while walking.

  "I don't know." Song Jian was indeed not very familiar with these things.

  "Uh, Tinghao Company is the largest cosmetics agent in our Suzhou City. Oh, not just Suzhou City, actually, they control the entire southern region of Jiangnan Province. Their agency points have reached every cosmetics counter, it's very impressive. If our company can get a contract with them, we can save a lot on advertising fees, and also open up the market in Suzhou City at the first time."

  Xu Si quickly explained.

  Song Jian said "oh".

  Xu Si turned his head and looked at Song Jian with a glance, "Why aren't you excited?"

  "I'm so excited," Song Jian said with a fake smile.

  "Despicable!" Xu Siyang clenched his fist and punched Song Jian once, but suddenly remembered that this was the venue of the dinner party, so he quickly withdrew his fist, looking like a little girl who had done something wrong.

  Song Jian didn't mind either.

  "Song Jian! I thought you weren't coming!" A cheerful voice came, followed by Zhou Tong in a white dress emerging from the side and grabbing Song Jian's arm.

  "Zhou Tong, I didn't know you were here too," Song Jian smiled slightly.

  "Of course, I'm the one who set up this event," Zhou Tong said proudly, raising his chin. "See that? Those singers were all invited by me, hehe, from our school."

  The front stage was a table, with one male and one female walking up to the stage, singing "Tomorrow Will Be Better". To be honest, this pair didn't sing very well.

  Xu Si's eyes glanced at Zhou Tong's hand, and Zhou Tong's left hand was still holding onto Song Jian's forearm.

  "I'm going to discuss some business with Xu Si, you go ahead and busy yourself first, I'll look for you when I'm free," Song Jian said to Zhou Tong, now Xu Si was right beside him, this little girl was too bold.

  Zhou Tong pouted and said, "Alright then, I'll come find you after the evening party ends." After that, she ran to the backstage to host the activities at the evening party.

  As the singing started, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again. Everyone completely forgot about the previous pregnant woman incident and were quietly discussing it.

  Xu Si pointed to a corner and said: "The boss of Ting Hao Company is over there, and she's a beauty too."

  Song Jian looked over and saw a tall woman drinking alone at a small table in the corner, unaffected by her surroundings. The woman was Xiao Han.

  "What a coincidence," Song Jian thought to himself.

  He walked over and put the file on the desk, saying: "This is our company's project report, Director Xiao, take a look."

  Xiao Han raised his head and saw Xu Si and Song Jian together, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  "Hello, Xiao Han sister, nice to see you again," Song Jian said with a wave of his hand.

  Xu Si tilted her head and looked at Song Jian strangely, "Do you know each other?"

  Song Jiandao said: "Before going to the desert for a tour, oh, it was organized by Xiao Hansha."

  Xiao Han nodded, "Song Jian, this Mr. Xu and you are..."

  "Oh, she's my partner. Siyuan Company is just the two of us. And I'm also a part-time driver," Song Jian said with a smile.

  "Oh, I see," Xiao Han shook hands with Xu Si again and said: "Sorry, General Manager Xu, I really didn't know you and Song Jian were colleagues before. Come on, let's sit down and study it together."

  Three people sat down, two women holding red wine, and started talking about business.

  At the time of He Tian, Song Jian was considered to have helped Xiao Han, and Song Jian's strange behavior also made Xiao Han very curious. This time, after hearing that Song Jian was the boss of Siyuan Company, Xiao Han had completely accepted the products of Siyuan Company in his heart.

  The two women began discussing their future cooperation, and due to Song Jian's relationship, Xiao Han was very easy to talk to.

  "Xu Si, I still have high hopes for your company's new cosmetic product. If we can become the sole agent of your company, I will give you the most favorable policy and guarantee sales of 300 million yuan per year." Xiao Han first threw out an olive branch.

  "Great," Xu Si was also delighted. She had always been frustrated with sales issues, and now she had such a large company to act as her agent, which was exactly what she wanted.

  Two women reached an agreement with relish, and the red wine was also getting more and more. Song Jianyi had to drive later, so he just drank cranberry juice, sitting bored at the table, thinking about Ling Su's performance just now.

  At this time, a crisp piano sound suddenly came from the front desk, followed by a particularly feminine voice, "Next, I would like to invite a guest to play a song with me, please welcome Mr. Song Jian."

  Song Jian suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that beside the piano, a very handsome man was gazing at him with deep affection, it was Luo Hao from Suzhou University.

  When he saw Luo Hao's autumnal eyes, Song Jian was afraid and immediately turned his head to Xu Si and said: "I'll go back first."

  Xu Si looked at Song Jian and then at Luo Hao on stage, and couldn't help but laugh.

  "What's so funny? I'm out of here," Song Jian stood up and ran out of the meeting room with a bent waist.

  Xu Si also stood up immediately and said to Xiao Han: "Director Xiao, the cooperation has been settled, let's schedule a time soon to sign the contract."

  Xiao Han nodded in agreement.

  Song Jian hugged a white envelope and chased after Song Jian.

  Luo Hao gazed at Song Jian's departing back with a melancholy expression, several teardrops sparkling in the corners of his eyes...
