"Who?" Minister Xu leaned over to take a look.

I only saw the word "白芹".

As soon as he was transferred today, he was told to be in charge of the Calligraphy Association. This position was given to him directly by the director, and Minister Xu almost didn't recognize him.

Apart from Ren Wanxuan, I have also heard of "Qiu Boqing".

Not to mention the name "Bai Qian", he had never heard of anyone with the surname "Bai" in Xiangcheng, but out of caution, he still asked -

"You know her?"

Ren Wanxuan said calmly: "My father's niece."

Ren Wanxuan’s father?

Minister Xu had never heard of her father's name. He only knew that Ren Jiawei had recruited a bride-in-law.

"I understand," Minister Xu immediately understood, "Miss Ren, can we add our contact information?"

"Of course." Minister Xu said, and Ren Wanxuan was not stingy.

The two of them added WeChat in a friendly manner.

Minister Xu smiled, it was not the first time he had done this.

When he took office as a new official, he used an insignificant person to win the favor of Ren Wanxuan and the Ren family.

This deal is really a bargain.

**

This way.

Xu En, Ji Heng and others also had dinner together.

The meal was held at the small bungalow Xu En rented. Xu En was always able to lighten the mood. He opened the topic: "Why didn't Ah Zhan come today?"

"She had something to do two days ago," Shen Qing said, a little embarrassed by the situation, but Ji Heng, Ji Shaojun and Ji Heng were not talkative people. "I have to make up classes today, so I'm a little busy."

Of course she wouldn't say that Bai Zian didn't want to come here.

It was made very clear that Bai Zian did not go to school for the past two days.

Opposite Shen Qing, Ji Mulan held chopsticks and only glanced at Xu En subconsciously.

Xu En didn't care. He knew about Bai Zian's results. He brought up the topic calmly: "The date is set on the lunar calendar for the time being. It's close to the Chinese New Year. A Zian is also on holiday. Then you will all have time to attend and finish the wedding.

I can still spend a few days in Jiangjing."

When the wedding date was mentioned, Ji Mulan's expression softened.

This is the day they planned together.

Ji Heng put down his chopsticks. He took out the cigarette rod without smoking. He rubbed the cigarette rod with his calloused hands and looked at Xu En: "Does your family know about this?"

He was referring to Xu En's mother.

"I moved out and told them in advance," Xu En smiled, not caring, "Our life is our own after all. If Aji comes over, he can live with us."

Xu En arranged everything properly.

As he spoke, a sound suddenly came from upstairs.

When Xu En heard it, it was Xu Yajun's voice. He ignored Ji Heng and stood up: "Miss Xu?"

At the dinner table, Shen Qing felt less depressed once Xu En left.

After about a few minutes, Xu Encai went downstairs with his cell phone.

Behind him was a woman in a white dress.

She has a delicate face, but her complexion is not very good.

"Sorry, I have to see someone off," Xu En apologized and explained to Ji Heng, "Ms. Xu said something happened at the China Calligraphy Association and she was anxious to get back. I'll see her off."

"Chinese Calligraphy Association?" Shen Qing asked subconsciously as he had never heard of this term.

At most she had heard of calligraphy and painting.

Although Ji Mulan did not introduce Xu En, she also knew that the woman following Xu En was not an ordinary person. After all, Xu En's attitude was respectful.

Xu En also had no intention of introducing Xu Yajun to them.

"This..." Xu En also discovered for the first time that someone didn't know about the Chinese Calligraphy Association. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain it.

Ji Mulan couldn't help but pursed her lips and glanced at Shen Qing.

Xu Yajun glanced at Shen Qing indifferently. The look in her eyes didn't mean anything else. It just made Shen Qing feel a little bit irritated: "Uncle Xu, I'm anxious to return to Jiangjing."

"Okay." Xu En took the car keys and nodded towards Ji Heng.

He also motioned to Ji Mulan to entertain the Ji family and his entourage well.

After Xu En and Xu Yajun left, Shen Qing turned to Ji Shaojun: "Should I not have spoken just now?"

She is just a very ordinary and ordinary philistine woman.

At this age, Shao Jun was quite used to it. He shook his head and said it was okay.

Ji Mulan's expression turned cold, and she looked at Shen Qing and then at Ji Shaojun.

Laughed in anger.

"It just so happened that he wasn't here." Ji Heng lit the cigarette bag, and the smoke rose thinly, blurring his eyes. "Let me remind you, don't push Aji too hard."

Ji Mulan looked at Ji Heng smoking a big cigarette.

Bai Qian suddenly flashed in her mind, and she made the association in just a moment, "Isn't this for her own good? Am I forcing her? She used to listen to me more, but look at what she learned when she came to Xiangcheng.

!”

Ji Mulan is a refined self-interested person and never feels that there is anything wrong with herself.

"Why did she come to Xiangcheng to learn something?" Shen Qingxing started to be domineering as soon as she became angry, "She is so many times more sensible than you, do you deserve to be called her..."

The next few words she said were somewhat dirty.

Ji Mulan didn't expect that Lian Shen Qing would dare to talk to her so loudly.

She pointed at Shen Qing, her chest rising and falling violently.

Ji Shaojun quickly stopped Shen Qing to prevent her from scolding her any more, "That's it for today. You should think carefully about Ah's matter. Let's go home first."

Ji Mulan sent the three people out with a cold face, and sat in the hall and began to think about whether it was right to come back this time.

By the time Xu En came back from seeing Xu Yajun off, Ji Heng and the others had been gone for a long time.

Xu En felt that there was a very familiar smell of nicotine in the air. He sniffed it and then asked: "Your father and the others are gone?"

The smell of smoke is really familiar.

"Well." Ji Mulan didn't want to mention them more, seeing Xu En standing there, "What's wrong?"

"What kind of cigarette does your dad smoke?" Xu En pondered for a moment.

Ji Mulan shook his head, "My brother gave it to me."

After saying that, she looked at Xu En.

"It's okay," Xu En shook his head, then it didn't matter, and asked about another thing, "Do you know about Blackwater Street?"

Blackwater Street is on the other side of the river. Jim Mulan knew about it when he was a child, but didn't know much about it: "It's very chaotic. What happened?"

"Someone was the first to compete with me for territory." As soon as the Xiangcheng tourism plan came out, many people were interested in this place. Xu Ensheng's news in the circle was fast. "Mr. Ren's secretary said that there seemed to be a bar behind those people...

It’s not something to be trifled with…”

After knowing each other for so long, Ji Mulan saw Xu En worried for the first time.

She was really surprised.

Are there people in Blackwater Street that Jiang Jingdu cannot afford to offend?

**

On the way back to Qingshui Street, Bai Jian received news from Qiu Xuezheng.

The first is about receiving awards.

The second is the opening ceremony of the Calligraphy Association this Saturday.

She must be there.

Bai Zian leaned on the back of his chair and subconsciously tapped the screen with his fingertips——

【What do you need me to go to in person? 】

To be honest, Bai Qian felt embarrassed to receive the award together with some people who had not practiced soft-pen calligraphy systematically.

Qiu Xuezheng: [……]

Qiu Xuezheng: [I’ve asked for you, you can’t collect it on your behalf]

Bai Qian is very direct: [Then I don’t want it anymore]
