Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Just then the phone rang again. Xiao Yi picked it up and answered it. He hung up two minutes later.

"The Public Security Bureau just conducted a temporary inspection of the Marriott Hotel and found Xiang Lanlan. However, the person next to her was not Xiang Guo, but an investor from Hong Kong City. The two were in a relationship."

Ji Qinglan was surprised. It wasn’t Xiang Guo, but she was wrong.

"Hong Kong businessmen have special identities, and it is difficult for the police to investigate. We can only keep our hands off and continue to persevere."

Xiao Yi also had a headache. Foreign investment had brought economic prosperity to Guangzhou and the domestic economy was developing rapidly, but some side effects were gradually emerging.

For example, those who are self-important, think they are superior and look down on people from the mainland.

And it is easy to come into conflict with people from the mainland.

This made him feel bad.

No wonder Xiang Lanlan was dressed like that today, it turns out she was following a wealthy Hong Kong businessman.

"Xiang Lanlan came here before and after us. How did she stay with Hong Kong businessmen in such a short time? Xiang Guo must have been involved."

Xiao Yi admired Ji Qinglan's sharpness for noticing this.

"Well, this is indeed suspicious. That man came here to open a clothing factory. He is the owner of the Hongcheng Mingyan Clothing Factory. He is 57 years old this year."

Ji Qinglan...

At this age, Xiang Lanlan can call him brother, not uncle.

It turns out that money has power.

In the port city, with its bright lights and bustling nightlife, the nightlife has just begun.

Inside the building, Zhou Hanxuan was busy processing documents. Because she had to accompany her fiancé to meet a very important friend tomorrow, she planned to get things done today.

Suddenly, a phone call came in.

"Hanxuan, why don't you go home? Everyone is waiting for you for dinner."

Zhou Hanxuan slapped her forehead and said apologetically, "Second sister, I forgot to call home. I won't be back for dinner tonight."

"Hey! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you." Sister Zhou Er on the other end of the phone complained.

"Where are you? With Qiao Shaorong?"

"No, I'm at the company. Shao Rong and I are going to meet a friend from the mainland tomorrow. I've taken care of everything today."

Zhou Erjie on the other end of the phone didn't take it seriously and said nonchalantly, "What a fool you are! What's so good about seeing someone from the mainland?"

Zhou Hanxuan explained: "He is a very important friend. Shao Rong values ​​him very much and will introduce him to us tomorrow."

"Heh!" Zhou Er's second sister chuckled. Even through the phone, Zhou Hanxuan could hear the contempt in her tone. She didn't even need to think too much to know that her second sister must have an expression of disdain as if she didn't care.

"You are such a fool. There is nothing good about people from the mainland. You are the only one who takes Qiao Shaorong seriously."

Zhou Hanxuan pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling helpless. Qiao Shaorong was the candidate she chose at first sight. She didn't like her family's contempt for him, but she didn't know what to say, as saying too much would only cause more trouble.

"Second sister, I'm busy. I'm hanging up now."

The next day, Xiao Yi drove Ji Qinglan through customs. Qiao Shaorong was already waiting there. When he saw Ji Qinglan coming, he waved naturally.

"Long time no see, congratulations first!" After getting in the car, Ji Qinglan first congratulated Qiao Shaorong on his engagement.

Qiao Shaorong sat in the driver's seat and laughed.

"I have booked a hotel, Hanxuan has already gone there, let's go over there."

Ji Qinglan looked at the tall buildings along the road and couldn't help but sigh: "This place is really different from the mainland."

"Of course, Sister Qinglan, you should have come earlier. This is a paradise for the rich."

Ji Qinglan smiled and didn't respond. She didn't think so.

Along the way, Qiao Shaorong drove while introducing the surroundings to Ji Qinglan.

When the car drove into a hotel, Qiao Shaorong took Ji Qinglan into a room that had been prepared long ago. Two fashionably dressed women were already waiting in the room.

One of them was Zhou Hanxuan, and the other was none other than Zhou Hanxuan’s second sister, Zhou Hanyi, who was talking to Zhou Hanxuan.

Zhou Hanyi glanced at Ji Qinglan who came in, then looked away with disdain. With just one glance, she knew that she was a mainland girl.

Ha! Qiao Shaorong took her so seriously that he even called his third sister over. She thought she was some great person, but it turned out she was just a girl from the mainland.

Qiao Shaorong was also surprised that Zhou Hanyi understood this. Zhou Hanxuan explained, "I just met my second sister here, so we came together to see Sister Ji."

Only then did Qiao Shaorong nod and introduce the two parties.

Ji Qinglan noticed Zhou Hanyi's expression, shook hands with Zhou Hanxuan naturally, and spoke in fluent English.

She knows some Cantonese. Since she knew Xiao Yi would be transferred here, she has learned some from Xiao Yi, but it is more natural to communicate in English here.

Sister Zhou Hanxuan was slightly stunned when they heard Ji Qinglan's pure British English, but they quickly reacted and shook hands politely.

After sitting down, Ji Qinglan took out the bracelet he bought yesterday and gave it to Zhou Hanxuan.

"I heard that Miss Zhou and Shao Rong held an engagement party in Hong Kong City. I was unable to attend. I am sorry. This is the gift I prepared. I hope Miss Zhou likes it."

When Zhou Hanxuan saw the logo on the red velvet box, she was slightly stunned. But when she saw what was inside, Miss Zhou Er burst out laughing first.

"Isn't this the bracelet designed by Third Sister? I didn't expect it to be in her hands again."

Ji Qinglan was also stunned for a moment, and Qiao Shaorong smiled and explained to her: "Hanxuan's English name is Joanna. This bracelet was designed by her. Zhou Zhishen Jewelry is also an asset of the Zhou family."

Ji Qinglan laughed and praised, "Really? What a coincidence! Miss Zhou is very talented and her jewelry designs are also unique and lead the Korean trend. I fell in love with this bracelet at first sight."

Zhou Hanxuan smiled embarrassedly.

The atmosphere was very warm. Ji Qinglan and Zhou Hanxuan had a very pleasant conversation. Except for Zhou Hanyi asking some questions about the mainland from time to time, everything else was very good.

"I heard that the mainland is very backward and the people there are barbaric and unreasonable. I don't know if it's true."

The air in the room became noticeably quieter, Qiao Shaorong's face darkened, and Zhou Hanxuan pulled Zhou Hanyi, signaling her to speak less.

Ji Qinglan looked at Zhou Hanyi and said, "It seems that Miss Zhou Er has a lot of prejudice and discrimination against the mainland. If you have the opportunity, you can go to China to travel and see the real China."

"What's so good about it? The economy there is backward. I heard that people there don't have enough food to eat and clothes to wear."

Zhou Hanxuan's face turned red, and she wished she could cover her second sister's mouth.

Ji Qinglan was not annoyed, and only said: "It seems that Miss Zhou Er knows nothing about China. Now China is thriving and its economy is developing rapidly. Many foreign friends like to visit China to see the treasures of Chinese heritage and learn about Chinese culture. For example, Chinese traditional medicine, food, textiles, etc. are far beyond any other country. Many countries even steal our precious ancient recipes."

Zhou Hanyi obviously didn't believe it. She thought Ji Qinglan was trying to flatter her, but Zhou Hanxuan had already stopped her sternly and asked her to end this unpleasant topic.

When the waiter came in, Qiao Shaorong handed the menu to the three ladies gentlemanly.
