After Wang Xiufen heard this, she smiled secretly. Has this kid finally come to his senses?

Before, I had never heard that he was close to any girl, and it was rare to hear him even mention a girl's name.

Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about his childhood playmate.

However, she was also a little worried. Sophia's father Robert's business practices were not glorious. If Jiang Ning hadn't turned the tide and kicked him out, there would have been no foreign trade company in the future.

"Okay, take a seat now. Don't tell me about your brother. Did you go on the blind date your mom arranged for you?"

Wang Xiufen held Jiaojiao's hand and walked towards the dining room.

At noon, Jiang Ning called Jiaojiao out of the company temporarily, saying that he wanted to eat. When he arrived at the location indicated by the restaurant, Jiang Ning was not found, but a young man came.

She later found out that this was a blind date arranged for her by her mother.

Jiaojiao sat down on a chair and complained,

"Don't mention it. I think he is not here for a blind date, but to find a job. Before we even talked for a few words, he asked me if there was a position for him in Fuqiang Group, and he even wanted to get everyone in his family into the group.

What kind of charity does he think the group is? All cats and dogs can come in. "

While she was talking excitedly, Jiang Ning came back, put down her bag, washed her hands and sat down. After hearing her words, she said in a bad tone:

"Who are you talking about, cat or dog? Jiaojiao, I heard that you chatted with someone for a long time about professional matters today, and I asked you to go on a blind date, not for an interview?"

Jiaojiao pouted, "You know it's not an interview, so if he asks me if I can join the group, shouldn't I test his professional abilities?

Facts have proved that his ability is too average. Before he even asked many questions, his temper got angry. He pointed at my nose and scolded me. He has poor psychological quality and is not polite..."

She kept talking without seeing Jiang Ning's eyes that wanted to kill him.

Lin Chen sat down and saw that his wife looked unhappy, so he pressed her shoulder to smooth things over.

"Oh, why did you arrange Jiaojiao to go on a blind date again? How old is she? She is still a child. It's still early to get married."

After being persuaded by her husband, Jiang Ning calmed down a bit, glared at Jiaojiao, and sighed:

"Since you don't want to get married yet, I won't force you. Just don't blame us when the time comes."

The nanny has already brought the food to the table and everyone started eating.

Jiaojiao never lets the atmosphere get cold and mentioned Sophia to her parents.

Lin Chen frowned, "Didn't their family leave China for many years? Didn't they come here for vacation recently?"

Jiaojiao pushed Tongtong next to her.

Tongtong explained: "Sofia's parents died in a car accident a few years ago, leaving her alone. Because she likes Chinese culture, she came to Huaqing to study."

Jiang Ning was shocked when he heard the news.

Unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Robert had both passed away.

Back then, they had been working together for quite a long time!

"Invite Sophia home for dinner when you have time. It's not easy for a girl to study abroad." Jiang Ning instructed Tongtong.

After saying this, Jiang Ning said to Tongtong and Jiaojiao:

"There is a high-end cocktail party this weekend, and all the attendees are business executives and industry elites. I heard that Fendi, the most powerful architect in country M, will also be there, so I accepted the invitation. If you two have nothing to do, you can also come along. Let me go, maybe we can talk about some partners.”

Tongtong understood that his mother had called them back for dinner specifically for this matter.

Regarding their business venture, although she said that she would only help in the early stages and would not help anymore in the future, in fact, no parent would really let go completely.

This is a rare opportunity to make friends at a cocktail party.

They said they would all go.

It was still early before the weekend. After get off work in the past two days, Tongtong got off work early. After taking a shower, he sat next to the computer and waited for Sophia to ask him questions about the debate competition on QQ.

But other classmates kept chatting with him, but Sophia's avatar did not flash.

He clicked the mouse on her profile picture, wanting to click it and send her a message, but finally endured it.

Once, not long after he went online, he saw that her profile picture finally lit up, and he felt secretly happy, thinking that she could finally send him a message. Unexpectedly, within ten minutes, her profile picture darkened again.

He quickly grabbed the PHS at hand and found Sophia's phone number in the address book, but hesitated at the moment he was about to press it.

After all, Sophia is from M country, which is a developed country compared to China. After she finishes her studies abroad, she should return to her country.

He wanted to take things a step further with Sofia, but he also had to consider the reality.

However, as time went by, if Sophia didn't visit him for several days, he would feel uncomfortable as if he was scratched by a cat, and he would occasionally lose focus while working.

At this time, Jiaojiao and Sophia were drinking afternoon tea in the cafe.

Sophia puffed her cheeks and stirred her coffee with a spoon, feeling depressed.

“Jiaojiao, you gave me some advice and told me not to contact your brother, so he would be anxious and take the initiative to contact me, but it’s been a few days and he has ignored me.

I secretly logged into QQ that day, but he didn’t talk to me actively, which made me so angry that I logged off again.

Is your intuition wrong? Your brother doesn't like me at all?"

Jiaojiao sat opposite her, looked at her with a smile, took a sip of coffee and said:

"Sofia, actually I asked you to do this, partly to see if you like my brother. However, seeing your current state, I know that you do like my brother.

I know my brother best. If he didn't like you, how could he let you into his apartment?

You have to be patient and calm down..."

Just as she was talking, Sophia's phone rang, and when she looked down, she almost screamed.

She smiled and looked at Jiaojiao, pointing to the Lingtong channel: "Your brother's phone number."

Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, "I'm right, pick it up quickly!"

Sophia pressed the answer button and said in a calm tone:

"Hello, Lin Tong."

Tong Tong took a breath and said, "Sophia, there is a high-end cocktail party tomorrow night and I need to bring a female companion. Can you be my female companion?"

Sophia nodded desperately and was about to speak, but she saw Jiaojiao shaking her head at her, telling her not to agree immediately.

She said nonchalantly: "Let me check the time..."

Tongtong was anxious, "I can meet a lot of friends at this cocktail party, can you try to spare some time?"

Sophia heard the plea in his tone and no longer wanted him to be anxious, so she quickly agreed.

When she hung up the phone, Jiaojiao gave her an angry look and said with a smile:

"Why did you agree so readily?"

Sophia smiled shyly: "What if he goes to find someone else?"

Jiaojiao laughed: "Fool, I didn't bring a female companion to the reception tomorrow. He is just looking for a chance to date you! I'm right, he actually likes you too."
