President Jian always mingled with Bai Lian and the others without putting on any airs as an artist.
He would roll up his sleeves and take off his shoes to fish with Ji Heng and Director Chen.
He had done all sorts of down-to-earth things.
Shen Qing felt uncomfortable around Ren Jiawei and Mu Yining, but she was always at ease around President Jian, Xu En, and Chen Yongkun.
Her casual demeanor made Dong Xiaobai somewhat uneasy.
He was in the same industry after all.
Although President Jian specialized in music, he was also quite famous in calligraphy.
In Dong Xiaobai’s circle, he was a top-tier figure; once Dong stood up, he never dared to sit down again but stood by the sofa instead.
Ji Heng came in with President Jian, carrying things to roll tobacco.
Dong Xiaobai politely greeted Ji Heng and then immediately said to President Jian, "President Jian, hello, I am Dong Xiaobai from the Calligraphy Association."
President Jian stood by the coffee table, watching Ji Heng roll the tobacco. Hearing the greeting, he looked up leisurely and replied to Dong Xiaobai.
In the evening, Xiaoqi arrived.
He still sat in a wheelchair and was pushed over by Ren Jiawei.
Ren Jiawei had canceled all her meetings for Xiaoqi’s sake and had specially rented an apartment next to Xiaoqi’s place.
She used to get along poorly with Ji Heng; both were fashion designers, but now for Xiaoqi’s sake, Ren Jiawei had tempered her sharpness and managed to converse with Ji Heng.
Mu Yining chatted quietly with Xiaoqi about a collaboration.
They also talked about Xiaoqi joining the Mu Family.
Mu Yining knew very well that Bai Lian was giving the Mu Family a chance for Xiaoqi’s sake.
"When can you and your grandfather get registered," Mu Yining said to Xiaoqi, "to enter you into the family records of the Mu Family."
After Ji Shaojun and the others returned the last time, the Mu Family held a grand banquet.
This time for Xiaoqi...
Mu Yining pondered that they couldn’t be simplistic about it.
Dong Xiaobai wasn’t familiar with the Ji Family people; he only knew of Ren Wanxuan before.
This was his first time seeing Xiaoqi and his first time gathering with the Ren Family like this.
Only now did he realize the kind of polished demeanor that Xiaoqi possessed, definitely not that of an ordinary person, especially since... he could converse with Mu Yining.
Dong Xiaobai was inwardly astonished.
