The weather in the independent continent was beautiful today. The sky finally cleared after two consecutive days of rain.
The blue sky was clear, and a breeze blew past. The temperature in March and April was just right. Ordinary people only needed to wear a thin coat.
In the Intercontinental Hotel in the city center.
A black car slowly stopped in front. Ji Ziyin alighted from the car and casually tossed the keys to the valet. Then, she grabbed her platinum bag and strode into the hotel.
"Miss Ji, are you?" The front desk saw her and politely led the way. "Mr. Ji is already waiting for you in the private room. Please follow me."
In the VIP room on the first floor.
Ji Xiao and the people from the independent continent were waiting for Ji Ziyin to arrive.
The dishes had been served for a while.
They had been waiting for Ji Ziyin for a long time.
Halfway through, Ji Xiao twice went out to urge Ji Ziyin, but she only hung up.
"When is Miss Ji arriving?"
"That's right. It's almost noon. Miss Ji won't be coming, right?"
The corners of Ji Xiao's mouth twitched. He suppressed his anger and tried to smooth things over with a fake smile. "She's in a traffic jam. She'll be here soon."
Fortunately, the door of the private room opened, and Ji Ziyin, whom they had been waiting for for a long time, finally came in.
Ji Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly pulled out a chair for her. He greeted her with a smile, "Ziyin, you're finally here. President Simon and the others are waiting for you."
Ji Ziyin took off her coat and draped it over the back of the chair. Then, she put down her bag, elegantly greeted everyone, and casually said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was stuck in a traffic jam."
Ji Xiao had made a big dinner today.
The people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the Hacker Alliance, and several families from the independent continent were all here.
Old Madam Lu was among them.
Of course, there was also the President of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Simon, and others.
People from the Xie family were also present, but they did not send someone unseemingly like Matriarch Lu.
The Xie family was more reserved and sent Mother Xie.
When Xie Xinyao was not involved, Mother Xie was dignified and generous. She was quite prestigious outside.
She scoffed at Ji Ziyin's excuse in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She only lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Everyone in the independent continent knew that Ji Ziyin had hooked up with Yu Qingliu, who was backed by the reclusive families… Now, Ji Ziyin was the most popular figure in the independent continent. Who didn't want to curry favor with this young girl with a bright future?
The Xie family was not the deep-rooted Ji family, nor was it the secluded Nan family. The Xie family had come this far because they knew who to side with.
Of course, they did not want to miss the opportunity to befriend Ji Ziyin.
Although they were very familiar with each other in the past… things were different now!
Ji Ziyin, from a collateral branch of the Ji family, had become the phoenix by hooking up with the reclusive families. No one dared to underestimate her.
As soon as Ji Ziyin sat down, the others could not hold back anymore.
Simon was the first to pick up his gla.s.s and stand up. He smiled and said, "Miss Ji, come, let me toast you."
Although Ji Ziyin no longer took these people seriously, she still had to do what she had to do. She stood up and clinked gla.s.ses with the President of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. She drank it readily and even especially showed him her empty gla.s.s.
