Office.
These days, he and Ji Mulan were busy with the wedding preparations while entertaining the Ji family members, and he also had to plan company affairs.
“President Xu,” at the conference table, Director Wang smiled and extended his hand, “I wish you a happy marriage in advance. I’ll be going abroad on the 19th to visit my aunt, so I won’t be able to attend.”
Xu En had announced half a year in advance that he would marry at the end of the year.
The invitations had also been sent out two months early.
If one really wanted to, they could manage to squeeze in a day.
But Director Wang and the others had received their invitations early and had seen Ji Mulan in the company; she didn’t have much of a background.
Most of the people Xu En invited were also from the grassroots level of the company.
Director Wang and his peers knew that Madam Xu didn’t quite agree, and fewer clan members from the Xu family were attending, so naturally, they were not willing to set aside an entire day specifically to attend the wedding banquet.
For them, it was enough as long as the gift money was sent.
“Your matters are more important,” Xu En raised his hand, not surprised by this.
“President Xu,” after the others had left, Assistant Xu spoke softly in his ear, “Your uncle and Chief Qi and the others have prior engagements on the 19th, so only a few of the younger generation will come.”
The absence of those from the Xu family was expected by Xu En.
“It’s fine.” Xu En, holding a file, walked toward the lounge.
Ji Heng and the others were waiting for him in the lounge.

“Brother,” Xu Shujie, with a file in hand and dressed in a business suit, hurriedly approached Xu En for a signature, “Where are you off to?”
Xu En took the file.
Seeing the pen passed over by Assistant Xu, he signed the document while walking towards the lounge, “Going to see Uncle Ji.”
Xu Shujie knew that Uncle Ji referred to Ji Heng.
She raised an eyebrow, “He’s at the company?”
“Yes,” Xu En finished signing, closed the document and handed it back to Xu Shujie, then remembered something, “You’ll be free on the 19th, right?”
“Of course.” Xu Shujie took the file away. Although she wasn’t interested in the Ji family, she would definitely attend Xu En’s wedding.
As she spoke, she entered the lounge with Xu En.
Xu Shujie never wasted time on other matters and didn’t think much of the Ji family. In her view, it remained to be seen whether Xu En and Ji Mulan’s marriage would last.
However, since Ji Heng came to the company, Xu Shujie decided to meet him as well.
Inside the lounge.
Ji Heng wore a black Chinese-style long jacket, holding a smoking pipe with bright and dim sparks of Mars inside.
Shen Qing was carefully eating cake, while Ji Shaojun was on the phone.
Xu Shujie swept a glance across the room and then withdrew her gaze.
Xu En first introduced Xu Shujie to them, and both parties greeted each other politely but distantly.
“Uncle,” Xu En treated Ji Heng with great respect, “Assistant Xu mentioned you didn’t want to visit the old street?”
Xu En had specially arranged a sightseeing itinerary for Ji Heng and his party, even assigning Assistant Xu for this task.
Hearing that Xu En had instructed Assistant Xu to take them shopping, Xu Shujie couldn’t help but take another look at Ji Heng and his party.
Ji Heng slowly exhaled a ring of smoke and stood up. His eyes were deep and his tone was mild, “You and Assistant Xu are busy, no need to bother with us. Today we’re going fishing with Xiaojiang, just letting you know.”
“Xiaojiang?” Xu En was taken aback, unclear about which Xiaojiang it was.
How could Ji Heng find fishing buddies everywhere?
Shen Qing faced Xu En with more composure. Her hair hadn’t grown much, and she was still wearing a velvet hat, “You and Mulan are busy, don’t worry about us. These few days, we’ve been hanging out with Xiaojiang. When you’re free, let’s go fishing with them.”
Ji Shaojun didn’t speak, merely nodding towards Xu En.
“After the wedding, I’ll join you for fishing. If you need anything, be sure to call me right away.” Xu En hadn’t fished much before, but after a few attempts with Director Chen and others, he’d gotten the hang of it.
But now he was too busy. With Madam Xu not helping, he had to take care of many things personally and simply had no time.
He personally escorted Ji Heng and the others down to the lobby.
Xu Shujie accompanied him. Once they had left, she then looked at Xu En, “Does the Ji family have acquaintances in Jiangjing?”
She was a bit surprised.
Xu En was even more surprised. Director Chen was still in Xiangcheng, and he didn’t know who Ji Heng and his party were fishing with, “Not sure.”
Xu Shujie shrugged and pressed the elevator button.
She didn’t ask any further.
She had merely asked casually and naturally didn’t think the Ji family would know anyone significant from Jiangjing.
The two headed to the conference room together to catch another meeting.
Xu En’s mobile phone rang in his pocket, he pulled it out to look, and quickly stopped to answer.
Xu Shujie was startled by Xu En’s demeanor; she had never seen him treat any client this way. Who was on the other end?
“Alian.” Xu En softened his voice, his face carrying a smile.
Alian?
Xu Shujie didn’t have much impression of the Ji family members. It took her a moment to recall that this must be the “Bai Lian” mentioned by Xu Wenyao.
“Uncle Xu,” Bai Lian was very polite, “Do you still have an invitation? I need one… oh not one, two, I need two.”
