Chapter 344: 132 Bai Shaoqi’s astonishment, Director Chen wants an invitation_3
Meanwhile, on Xu En’s side.
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. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
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.
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.”
