Chapter 512: Chapter 511: Rejected Without a Second Thought

Outside the private room.

The assistant slowly closed the door, his hands trembling slightly.

He had always thought that Chi Gui was meeting with the president to network for her sister, but now…

Her sister’s teacher was none other than Mrs. Fu, the housewife of the Fu family!

With Mrs. Fu around, why would they need any other connections?

It seemed more like Chi Gui, the big shot, was networking for the president instead…

–

Inside the private room.

After a brief silence, Chi Gui was the first to break it, “This is Bao Jianfeng, the president of the Huaxia Jewelry Association.”

Then, starting with Mrs. Fu, she introduced everyone to Bao Jianfeng one by one.

Luo Qianqian and Chi Yunjin were both shocked.

When they heard Chi Gui mention a friend from the Jewelry Association, they thought it was just an ordinary member like Luo Qianqian.

They never expected the president himself to come!

Luo Qianqian quickly stood up to greet Bao Jianfeng.

After a round of greetings, the atmosphere among everyone became lively.

Mrs. Fu, smiling, took out her phone and said to Bao Jianfeng, “We haven’t had the chance to meet before, and now that we have, let’s exchange contact information.”

Bao Jianfeng was immediately flattered and hurried to pull out his phone, opened WeChat, and scanned Mrs. Fu’s code to add her.

He knew very well that Mrs. Fu was adding him to establish connections for Luo Qianqian. Without hesitation, he also added Luo Qianqian on WeChat, and they specially exchanged phone numbers as well.

During the jovial moments, Luo Qianqian’s phone rang.

She picked it up, excused herself to the others, stepped out of the private room, carefully closed the door behind her, and then walked a few steps further before answering, “Ruoxi, what’s up?”

On the other side of the phone, Chi Ruoxi’s voice was gentle, “Qianqian, we’re having dinner with Director Gao at the Spring Banquet right now. If you’re free, why don’t you join us?”

“The Spring Banquet?” Luo Qianqian was startled, then decisively refused without hesitation, “No, I’m already eating with others.”

Chi Ruoxi seemed not to have expected Luo Qianqian’s rejection. After a pause, she added, “Director Gao is in charge of the HR department of the Huaxia Jewelry Association, specifically responsible for the assessment and admission of new members… For a busy man like him, the chance to have a meal with us is rare…”

Chi Ruoxi thought her hint was clear enough.

But who would have known, Luo Qianqian sounded as if she didn’t catch the hint, “Then you should cherish the opportunity! What I’m doing here is quite important too. If there’s nothing else, I need to hang up. I can’t keep them waiting.”

With that, Luo Qianqian hung up the phone.

–

In a private room on the first floor of the Spring Banquet.

The atmosphere was silent.

Chi Ruoxi silently put down her phone, not daring to say a word.

Beside her, seated in turn, were Old Master Chi, Chi Changjing, Zhao Yuexiu, and Chi Yan.

At the head of the table sat Director Gao.

After the assessment results came out, Old Master Chi had taken this opportunity to invite Director Gao for a meal, intending to build a closer relationship with him.

After all, being the director of the HR department of the Capital City Jewelry Association meant that Director Gao had considerable power and connections at his disposal.

Not to mention the Chi family’s intention to expand into Capital City, but even the future path for Chi Ruoxi would be much smoother with Director Gao’s help.

During the meal, Chi Yan casually mentioned Luo Qianqian, and Director Gao told them to have Luo Qianqian join them as well.

Director Gao’s willingness to do the Chi family a favor indicated his willingness to maintain a long-term interaction with them, which was an incredible boon for the Chi family!

Immediately, Old Master Chi asked Chi Ruoxi to call Luo Qianqian.

None of those present had expected that Luo Qianqian would completely disregard such an opportunity and decline it without a second thought!
