Chapter 917: 362 No.7: The Scariest One Chapter 917: 362 No.7: The Scariest One The surroundings were quite peaceful; ever since Xiaoqi arrived in Xicheng, there weren’t many who could genuinely connect with him.

Even the people from the Xicheng Business Association tried their best to bring Xuankang into the Xicheng Business Association.

Tonight’s grand display at the association was solely for Xuankang.

Yet despite the entire Xicheng Business Association being mobilized, Xiaoqi barely revealed any of his thoughts and didn’t seem close to anyone.

Now that they saw him calling someone “Second Grandpa,” people around were secretly having others inquire about Second Grandpa Ji’s news.

Second Grandpa Ji was also surprised; he had recognized that the man beside Xiaoqi was the president of the Xicheng Business Association, and everyone around was revolving around Xiaoqi, associating this with the banquet held today in honor of the general manager from the Xuankang Headquarters.

Throughout the banquet, aside from Xiaoqi, Second Grandpa Ji was also someone whose acquaintances sought to become familiar with.

Some had even found their way to Third Grandpa Ji
to inquire about the exact relationship between Xiaoqi and Second Grandpa Ji.

Another group, holding their wine glasses, chatted up Third Grandpa Ji, all because of Xiaoqi and Second Grandpa Ji.

With a rigid smile on his face, Third Grandpa Ji saw this group off.

By his side, Ji Lang looked towards the center, where Second Grandpa Ji was surrounded by influential individuals of the Xicheng circle, and opened his mouth, “Second Grandpa is…”

Third Grandpa Ji pursed his lips and shook his head.

He knew nothing.

He just felt that everything changed after Second Grandpa Ji returned from a trip to Xiangcheng.

The orders from the Weaving Factory were reassigned, and now even General Mao from Xuankang was acquainted with him?

How did Second Grandpa Ji find such connections out of the blue?

After the reception ended, Xiaoqi left first, and the president personally saw Second Grandpa Ji out.

It was then that Third Grandpa Ji found an opportunity to speak with Second Grandpa Ji and asked about Xiaoqi.

In fact, Second Grandpa Ji himself had not fully recovered from his astonishment. Hearing the query, he tilted his head and looked at Third Grandpa Ji, “You’re asking about Xiaoqi?”

Third Grandpa Ji and Ji Lang, among others, all halted and held their breath, waiting for his response.

“You know him,” Second Grandpa Ji looked at him, “He is Wanxin’s grandson.”

“What did you say?” Third Grandpa Ji was stunned upon hearing that.

Ji Wanxin’s grandson?

Wasn’t it said by the eldest grandmother that he hadn’t even finished middle school?

And they had even been arranging Ji Lang to sort out his school registration?

How did he suddenly become the general manager of Xuankang Headquarters?

In fact, not just Third Grandpa Ji.

Even Second Grandpa Ji himself could hardly believe it; during their last encounter, he had guessed that Bai Lian and Xiaoqi’s identities were no simple matter, given Bai Lian cared about the butler of the Zhongxing Group.

And the Pei Family was so polite to Xiaoqi. Yet, even with all the guessing, Second Grandpa Ji had never imagined that Xiaoqi was in fact the general manager of Xuankang Headquarters.

Second Grandpa Ji departed.

Ji Lang, Third Grandpa Ji, and others were still standing in the original spot.

A chill wind blew through, Third Grandpa Ji shivered and turned back to look at Ji Lang, “How is your school registration going…”

The Xicheng sea water purification project.

Most of the research staff had already been assembled.

Ning Xiao, with his computer in tow, attended the meeting, bringing Pei Qin and Wang Xu along. Pei and Wang were merely ordinary sophomores at Jiangjing University, lacking the extraordinary capabilities of Ning Xiao and Bai Lian.

They could barely keep up with the pace.

During their time at the base, the two of them barely slept three hours a day.

At the start of the semester, the project had already officially begun research, and Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were all set to return to school.

Back at Jiangjing, both the laboratory and the Tongfeng class had a bunch of things waiting for them.

When they came to Xicheng, it was only a few people like Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai.

But when they returned to Jiangjing, the group had grown significantly.

Second Grandpa Ji had successfully negotiated the project and formally entered the circle of the Xicheng Business Association. This year, the Xicheng Business Association was sending him to negotiate with the Jiangjing Business Association.

The eldest grandmother saw him off, and they had not contacted Bai Lian since. However, he had spoken with Xiaoqi a few times.

“What do you think,” Second Grandpa Ji asked the eldest grandmother as he waited for the car, tilting his head, “Who exactly are Wanxin’s family members? Especially his grandson–that’s Xuankang, after all.”

One Bai Lian had gotten into Jiangjing University and knew the Jiang Family butler.

One Xiaoqi, not yet twenty years old–a corporate giant of Xuankang.

He had some real talent.

This Xiaoqi was even more terrifying than Bai Lian.

The eldest grandmother didn’t know either.

This time when Second Grandpa Ji went to Jiangjing, he took his grandson Ji Yun with him.

Before boarding the plane, he also called Ji Heng to let him know he was heading to Jiangjing and that he had brought specialties and gifts from Xicheng for Bai Lian and the rest.

Jiangjing.

The Jiang Family’s plane touched down at Jiangjing Airport, where a small section was reserved for private planes, and Jiangjing had plenty who could afford their own aircraft.
