Chapter 891: Even If You Want to Participate Now, You Have No Place He had always been smart and knew how to behave. Seeing Qin Si’s attitude, he became more and more determined as to which side he should stand with. He immediately learned from Qin Si’s ways and slowly sent a message to the group.

[I’m also here to attend Miss Qiao’s school promotion banquet. Master Wang and the others are all here. Old Master Ye and the Wei family have all come. Unfortunately, Miss Jiang doesn’t have time to come back. It’s such a pity.]

[…]

No one spoke in the group for a long time, but no one cared about their image. Seeing saw the photos and Zhang Yang’s message, they couldn’t care less and began calling to ask around.

…

On the other hand, ever since Yuan Yongqin, Qin Si, and the others came, along with the Ye and Wei families, almost everyone from the top circles in Beijing started streaming in. His cell phone had been ringing non-stop.

Previously, many people whom he personally called and had refused to come now changed their minds and tried to curry favor with him, asking if the banquet had begun and if they could still come.

An hour ago, Old Master Jiang would have liked more people to come.

But now, it was different. He didn’t answer a single call and allowed his cell phone to ring non-stop. He even felt that it was too annoying. He switched off his phone to silent mode. Out of sight, out of mind!

He had already retired from the industry and could choose not to answer his cell phone.

Jiang Zongnan was in his prime. He could still climb the social ladder, so he had no choice but to take those calls.

There were too many calls. He answered more than 10 calls. He walked back with a headache and said to his father, “Dad, the Jian and Huangfu families have called. They said that they have time now and want to attend Nian Nian’s school promotion banquet. It isn’t too nice if I reject all of them, right?”

They had called him shamelessly and made a lot of small talk before asking him to attend the school promotion banquet. Yet, he rejected all of them. It was somewhat offending.

Old Master Jiang had been in the business for many years and had long been trained to have a calm heart.

Hearing his anxious question, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip. He then looked up. He knew what he was worried about.

However, Jiang Zongnan wasn’t bad to Qiao Nian. He loved and protected her from the bottom of his heart. Thus, he guided Jiang Zongnan a little. “What’s not good about it? When we called them previously to ask them to come, they said they weren’t free. Now that they are free, of course, we can’t have a ‘place’ for them. Otherwise, what would they think of our family? After they’ve humiliated us, are we going to just offer ourselves to them after they change their mind?

“Remember, we have to have some backbone. The more backbone you have, the higher they will think of you! If you don’t have a backbone, even if you think you’re giving them face, they might not take it that you’re giving them face and being nice. They might think you’re easy to bully!”

Jiang Zongnan’s brows relaxed. He was no longer as worried as before. Thinking about how he had destroyed Jiang Xianrou, who had refused to return, he felt a headache coming on.

Too embarrassed to mention Jiang Xianrou in front of Old Master Jiang, he only said, “I heard Young Master Qin and Yuan Yongqin say that they are here for Nian Nian. When did Nian Nian know so many people…”

Initially, he was worried that no one would come to Qiao Nian’s school promotion banquet. He didn’t expect so many people to come. The small hall they had booked was almost full.

Therefore, when he rejected those who called him and wanted to come over, it was not just to humiliate them.

The fact was that the venue he booked was indeed running at full capacity. The seats were filled by the people who came one after another.
