The readers' social gathering was held in the form of a buffet, with more than a dozen tables put together into one large table, covered with a new white tablecloth, with dried fruits, snacks, sausages and all kinds of snacks available.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu enter the auditorium, Li Xiance quickly came up to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Captain Jiang, thank you very much for your support!"
Ning Zhaowei looked at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Mr. Jiang, I think you look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Mr. Ning, actually we have met more than once, but we just didn't have the chance to get to know each other."
"Really? May I ask where Mr. Jiang is employed?"
"I am currently serving in the detective team."
Ning Zhaowei thought for a while and said: "Your surname is Jiang... I heard that the captain of the detective team is also surnamed Jiang. You guys..."
"It's down there."
"So you are Captain Jiang, you are so rude and disrespectful!"
"Mr. Ning, you're welcome."
Ning Zhaowei took out a gold-gilt business card from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "If Ning has a problem with his horse and his stirrup, Captain Jiang, please take care of him!"
"Definitely, definitely." Jiang Xinyu took the business card.
The two parties chatted for a while, and Ning Zhaowei said to Frank: "Mr. Frank, there are some financial issues that I would like to discuss with you alone."
This meant that it was not convenient for outsiders to hear. Jiang Xinyu and Hattori Mina left politely.
A young man clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Hua, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yanjin Daily, to give a speech!"
"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies. First of all, on behalf of all my colleagues at Yanjin Daily, I sincerely welcome all distinguished guests..." Mr. Hua, a man with white hair, read out his speech in a measured tone.
Jiang Xinyu seemed to be listening to Mr. Hua's speech, but in fact his eyes never left Ning Zhaowei and Frank. Even if he couldn't hear what they were saying, he hoped to guess the content of their conversation from their mouth patterns.
After observing for a while, Jiang Xinyu discovered that words such as acid-free paper, color-changing ink, and watermark appeared more frequently in their conversations.
After the speech, the social gathering officially began.
While Hattori Mina went to eat, Li Xiance came over and whispered: "I just went out to see off clients, and I saw Kato Kentaro."
Jiang Xinyu took a sip of wine and said, "Did the newspaper invite him?"
"No."
"Where is he?"
"In a silver-grey car."
"Do you remember the license plate number?"
"It seems to be 01-25..."
"25 right?"
Li Xiance thought for a moment and said firmly: "Yes, it's 25. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly."
Kato is in Ning Zhaowei's car?
This situation is strange. Although Kato was not invited, he would not have any problems if he wanted to come in as he was. No one dared to stop the deputy director of the Special High School Course.
At this time, Ning Zhaowei shook hands with Frank and said goodbye, then greeted Mr. Hua and hurried out of the auditorium.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xinyu understood that Ning Zhaowei came to the sorority party with only one purpose, which was to meet Frank!
Hattori Mina came over, tugged on Jiang Xinyu's lapel, and said, "Shall we go back?"
Jiang Xinyu: "What's wrong?"
Hattori Mina frowned and whispered: "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Xinyu said to Li Xiance: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"It's okay, you two go slowly. I want to greet other friends, so I won't see you off."
"Stay!"
After leaving the auditorium and coming to the stairs, I happened to see Ning Zhaowei getting into the car at the school gate. After a while, the car lights came on and the car turned around and sped away.
The deputy director of the Special Higher Education Course was willing to wait outside. Ning Zhaowei made a special trip to see Frank. What could make them so anxious?
After getting in the car, Jiang Xinyu was still immersed in this problem. Hattori Mina urged: "What are you thinking about? Drive?"
Jiang Xinyu started the car and said: "Oh, I didn't think about anything...how are you feeling, are you feeling better? I'll take you to the hospital!"
Hattori Mina shook her head and said, "No, just go back and have a rest."
Jiang Xinyu pondered and said, "Could it be that I ate something bad? Or maybe the champagne was too cold and irritated my stomach."
"Hey, stop analyzing it! It's a woman's disease..." Hattori Mina's last words sounded like a mosquito.
Jiang Xinyu shut his mouth, increased the accelerator, and the car sped towards Qiaodong Road.
Half an hour later, the two returned to Jiang Xinyu's home.
"Mina, do you want me to buy sanitary napkins?" Jiang Xinyu made a cup of brown sugar water and put it on the coffee table.
"I haven't come yet. Every time, my stomach hurts the day before." Hattori Mina said with a red face.
"Drinking more brown sugar water can relieve the pain..." Jiang Xinyu said while checking each room and found nothing abnormal.
