Chapter 544 Banquet
The next day, Cheng Ling carried a few bags of local specialties brought back from the Northeast and set off for Jiang's house.
Jiang Zhenguo and Ji Chengyue were both waiting for Cheng Ling at home.
Ji Chengyue didn't sleep well last night.
She was expectant and nervous.
Even though she had seen the current Cheng Ling, she couldn't help but think about it.
Before dawn, she got up and went to the study.
She took out a notebook, took a pen, and stared at the blank page.
Jiang Zhenguo walked in from the study with his wife's coat in his hand.
He walked to the desk, put his coat on his wife, and said gently:
"You didn't sleep well all night. You got up so early? You must be sleepy in a while."
Ji Chengyue didn't even raise his head, staring at the blank notebook, "It's okay, I'll drink some strong coffee later."
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Zhenguo sat on the stool opposite his wife's desk, "You don't have any ideas? Tell me."
Ji Chengyue looked up at her husband, and after a while, she sighed, "I said, don't laugh at me... I want to find some topics to talk to her... Last time I had a lot of things to say to her, but when I faced her, my mind was blank..."
Ji Chengyue is also a person who has met many big people.
Never nervous.
Jiang Zhenguo didn't laugh, but said with understanding: "It's definitely nervous... After all, you used to be good friends. But don't worry, you will get used to it after a few more contacts in the future. It's okay."
Ji Chengyue sat in a daze.
Jiang Zhenguo stood up, rubbing his wife's shoulders and neck while advising her: "Don't sit here in a daze. Stand up, move around, eat some hot food, and be refreshed. Your tired look will make her think you don't want to see her."
Ji Chengyue knew that Cheng Ling would not think so.
But she still listened to her husband's advice.
Fortunately, Cheng Ling did not let them wait for long.
Cheng Ling arrived at nine o'clock in the morning. She followed the guards arranged by Jiang Zhenguo at the door and walked into the gate of Jiang's house.
Jiang Zhenguo and Ji Chengyue stood at the door of the house to greet Cheng Ling.
"Uncle Jiang...Yue..." Cheng Ling swallowed the "Sister" in "Sister Yue" abruptly.
Father Jiang smiled cheerfully: "Xiao Cheng, it's okay, it's okay. My Chengyue is younger than me, and there's nothing wrong with you calling her Sister Yue. Later... cough, when it comes to that... it's not too late to change your name."
Cheng Ling's face burned slightly, and then she handed over the bag in her hand: "This is a little local specialty of Northeast China, not a valuable thing, let you try it."
Father Jiang took it: "The gift is small but the sentiment is great! Thank you for going out to film and still thinking about us."
Cheng Ling glanced at Ji Chengyue.
Ji Chengyue looked like she wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak.
Cheng Ling knew that she hadn't adapted to her current appearance.
So, she took the initiative to hold Ji Chengyue's arm: "Sister Yue, why don't you pay attention to me?"
Cheng Ling at this time, although she looked nothing like Cheng Ling before.
But her demeanor and tone were exactly the same as before.
Ji Chengyue smiled with relief, she was really worrying about nothing.
"Isn't it because I see you've returned to your youth that I'm a little envious and jealous--" Ji Chengyue smiled, "Let's go inside and talk."
On the guest tea table in the study, there were brewed Tieguanyin and Chinese snacks to go with the meal.
After a simple greeting, the topic got on track.
Jiang Zhenguo told Cheng Ling all the information he had received from Jiang Qilan during this period, without missing a word.
Then, he handed over a folder.
The folder contained the documents in the printed pocket USB flash drive.
This one is for Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling flipped through it at a glance.
Jiang Zhenguo and Ji Chengyue sat quietly opposite her without disturbing her.
She read the text very quickly and finished it quickly.
Cheng Ling put the file down, looked up and asked Jiang Zhenguo: "Uncle Jiang, I was in a hurry when I talked on the phone before. Can you please tell me again why you want me to go to America?"
Father Jiang nodded.
"After Qi Lan completed his mission in Country X, he returned to America with the white man named 'Bati'."
"We closely follow their movements."
"Then, we intercepted a message: the White Club of America is about to hold a grand welcome banquet--"
"Many celebrities and actresses are invited to the banquet to liven up the party--"
"And the theme of this banquet is to welcome Qi Lan to join the Heji Society."
"There are also two entertainment companies in China that have received this invitation. Your current number of Weibo fans is definitely eligible to enter this banquet."
"We will ask an invited actress to cancel this trip and let you go in her place."
"As long as you can enter and pretend to meet Qi Lan by accident and develop a good impression of each other. Then from now on, you can contact Qi Lan without being suspected and pass on the information..."
