Chapter 875 Don't even look at the face of people from a small place
Chapter 875 Don’t even show respect to someone from a small place
He made at least a dozen phone calls, but only two or three people agreed to come over for dinner, while the others found various excuses to avoid it.
You can see how difficult it is.
Beijing has always been a place for watching people and ordering food.
Nian Nian had been staying in Baocheng before and rarely came to Beijing. When she came to Beijing, she was also very low-key. Almost no one knew about Nian Nian's existence.
This time, their family suddenly invited a guest, saying that they would hold a college entrance banquet for the niece he had found after traveling around the city. As soon as they heard that the relatives came from a small place, they made up a reason to refuse before he could continue.
He was in his forties and a well-known figure in the capital. When people refused politely, he could not lick his face and beg them to come and have dinner.
After a series of phone calls, except for two or three small families who were fawning over the Jiang family, no one from the slightly better families came.
He can only place his hope on his father.
"Dad, how many people are coming from your side?"
Mr. Jiang's face was not good-looking, and his complexion was not good. He raised his eyelids tiredly, and his usually energetic eyes were dull: "... Wen Ruxia of the Wen family is coming, Nie Mi is coming, and Principal Liang and Mr. Huang are coming too.
, no one else is free."
When Jiang Zongnan heard that they were all people from academia, their situation was not much better than his.
Among the top families in the capital, except for Wen Ruxia who wanted to come because of her reputation, they contacted a lot of people but no one wanted to come.
This situation was beyond their expectation, but it was also reasonable.
After all, their old man has retired for a few years, and the Jiang family's status in the capital is getting worse day by day. If it weren't for Xianrou and Ye Wangchuan's small circle, the Jiang family would be even less confident.
According to the old man's wishes, Qiao Nian's college entrance banquet is going to be a big one, so it's best to invite more famous people to attend, so that Qiao Nian can be introduced to this circle.
The reality was like a slap in the face, catching them off guard.
Coming around the city is another high school student.
I had no reputation before. Even if I did well in the college entrance examination, I would never be able to get into the eyes of the upper class in a place like Beijing where family status is important...
Jiang Zongnan felt heavy and did not dare to look at the old man's face. He paused, frowned, and said in a difficult tone: "I'll try to contact you again to see who else I haven't contacted."
"Yeah." Mr. Jiang looked sluggish, raised his eyes, and whispered: "Over at the Imperial Mansion... give them a call and change it to a small hall."
"..." Jiang Zongnan was silent for a moment, sighed, took his mobile phone and went out to do errands.
Everyone is unwilling to come. They can't put a knife on someone's neck and force them to come, but this situation is somewhat powerless...

In the Qin family, Qin Si just came back from outside, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
I swept my eyebrows and saw a red invitation randomly thrown on the table. I asked the servant frivolously: "What is that?"
"Young Master Si." The servant was making tea for him. Hearing this, he stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction he said, with a look of realization on his face: "Ah, that's it. Someone from Gang Jiang's family sent an invitation.
, I would like to invite you to have dinner at Yufu next Wednesday."
The servant knew that he was always impatient to attend these dinner parties in the capital and rarely paid attention to these worldly things.
However, Jiang Xianrou had a good relationship with their young master. Someone from the Jiang family sent an invitation, and he politely accepted it.
I didn't want to tell Qin Si, but Qin Si saw the invitation himself.
