Chapter 875: Don't care about the face of people who come from a small place
·
Qiao Nian Ye Wang Chuan
He made at least a dozen phone calls, but only two or three people agreed to come over for dinner, and the others found various reasons to shirk.
You can see how difficult it is.
Beijing has always been a place where people order food.
Before that, Nian Nian had been staying around the city, rarely came to Beijing, and when he came to Beijing, he was very low-key, almost no one knew of Nian Nian's existence.
This time, their family made a sudden treat, saying that they wanted to hold a school entrance banquet for the niece he had found around the city. When they heard about the relatives from a small place, they made up a reason and refused before he could say anything.
He is in his forties, and he is also a famous figure in Beijing. If he refuses politely, he can't lick his face and beg him to come to eat.
After some phone calls, except for two or three small families who were fawning on the Jiang family, no one from the better families came.
He can only place his hope on his own father.
"Dad, how many people are there from your side?"
Mr. Jiang's complexion is not good, his complexion is not good, he raised his eyelids tiredly, his always energetic eyes were dimmed: "... Wen Ruxia from the Wen family is coming, Nie Mi is also coming, and Principal Liang and Huang Laohui are coming , and no one else is free."
When Jiang Zongnan heard it, they were all from the academic world, and the situation was not much better than him.
Among the several top families in Beijing, except for Wen Ruxia who wanted to come to save face, they contacted a lot and no one wanted to come.
This situation was beyond their expectation, and it was reasonable.
How to put it, the old man of their family has retired for a few years, and the status of the Jiang family in the capital is getting worse day by day. If Xianrou hadn't built up with Ye Wangchuan's small circle, the Jiang family might be even less confident.
According to the old man's opinion, Qiao Nian's school entrance banquet is going to be a big one, and it's better to invite more famous people to attend, so that he can introduce Qiao Nian to this circle.
The reality was like a slap in the face, which caught them off guard.
The one who came around the city was another high school student.
He didn't have much fame before, even if he did well in the college entrance examination this time, he would not be able to catch the eyes of the upper class in a place like Beijing City where family status is very important...
Jiang Zongnan's heart was heavy, he didn't dare to look at the old man's face, paused, frowned, and said in a difficult tone: "Let me try to contact again and see who else I haven't contacted."
"Yeah." Mr. Jiang looked sluggish, raised his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Over there at Yufu... give them a call and change to a small hall."
"..." Jiang Zongnan was silent for a moment, sighed, and went out to do errands with his mobile phone.
Everyone is unwilling to come, they can't put a knife on someone's neck to force them to come, but this situation is somewhat powerless...

The Qin family, Qin Si just came back from the outside, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water from inside, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
Sweeping his eyebrows, he saw a red invitation card casually thrown on the table, and asked the servant with a frivolous expression: "What is that?"
"Young master Si." The servant was making tea for him, but when he heard this, he stopped his hands and looked in the direction he said, showing a suddenly realized expression: "Ah, that. An invitation card sent by someone from Gangjiang's family , would like to invite you to have dinner at Yufu next Wednesday."
The servant knew that he had always been impatient to attend these dinner parties in Beijing, and rarely cared about these people's sophistication.
But Jiang Xianrou had a good relationship with their young master. The Jiang family sent invitations, and he politely accepted them.
I didn't want to tell Qin Si at first, but I didn't expect Qin Si to see the invitation by himself.
You can see how difficult it is.
