Chapter 794: Send for appraisal on March 11th, Bai Lian’s connections_1

Bai Lian sat beside Ren Jiawei.

Today, Ji Heng, Shen Qing, and Ji Shaojun were all present. Shen Qing left a seat for Bai Lian beside her. Seeing Bai Lian sit on the outside, Mu Yining spoke up, “Lian Lian, aren’t you sitting beside your aunt?”

“You all are discussing business, so just sit together. I’ll go back after I finish eating,” Bai Lian took her seat.

It was rare for Bai Lian to admit that she didn’t understand something.

Mu Zhao seized the opportunity to sit next to Bai Lian, and Mu Yining didn’t say anything about it.

At the dinner table, Ren Wanxuan occasionally discussed business matters with Mu Yining, especially concerning the cooperation with the Ming Family. Bai Lian wasn’t really listening; she was focused on eating.

Having spent over a month abroad, although Ming Dongheng did bring them Chinese food, most of the time Bai Lian was eating in the cafeteria.

Now, facing authentic Chinese food, she couldn’t help but feel moved.

**

In the past few months, the Mu Family had gradually begun to make a name for themselves in Jiangjing.

Ren Wanxuan’s social circle had also risen to increasingly higher levels.

“There’s rare earth, too?” Mu Yining was very surprised to hear what Ren Wanxuan said.

“Yes,” Ren Wanxuan held her teacup. She had researched this information and heard it from a few young ladies in the circle, “Iridium and a massive amount of rare earth resources, Miss Yu is in talks with her senior brother.”

Mu Yining’s fingers tapped on the table, her knuckles turning slightly white with agitation, “There’s a key project at a maritime research institute this year. If we can secure these resources, we can sign it.”

The construction of heavy industry was never simple, and the Mu Family had been involved in building heavy industry bases for decades in the past.

Since then, the Mu Family had encountered misfortune and had almost never recovered.

This year, with so many members of the Mu Family returning one after another, Mu Yining felt a surge of excitement at the rare opportunity.

The two of them chatted, while the rest of the people at the dining table couldn’t really join in.

Ji Mulan sat on the side holding her child. As a designer, she couldn’t understand their conversation and only said, “If there’s a need for financial connections, just come to us directly.”

Ji Mulan now had full confidence to make such a statement.

Neglecting Xu En’s private equity, the travel investment in Xiangcheng alone had made the Xu Family a fortune last year. Xu En bought more than just one plot of land in Xiangcheng. Not to mention the turnover of the hotel, the land alone had appreciated several times over.

The Xu Family’s assets might not match those of the Mu Family, but their liquid capital was a frightening figure.

Outside, Assistant Wang called for Mu Yining, “President Mu, your clan uncles are here.”

“They’re already here?” Mu Yining stood up, surprised.

The Mu clan uncles had witnessed the glory days of the Mu Family, and knowing that there was this opportunity, they naturally could not wait, not even for a moment.

But today was the day Bai Lian and others had just returned…

Just as Mu Yining was pondering this, Ji Heng, who had almost finished his meal, put down his chopsticks, “Go ahead, I’ll visit the Buddhist hall.”

Bai Lian also stood up, “Uncle, Aunt, I’ll head back to the apartment first, Jian Zhe and the others are still waiting for me.”

The butler had been silently attentive to Bai Lian’s needs. Upon seeing that Bai Lian was leaving, he quickly approached and handed her the cloak.

“The butler respects her a great deal,” Dong Chuan said quietly as he watched Bai Lian’s retreating figure, his eyes slightly narrowing.

Anyone with discernment could see the butler’s attitude.

Towards Bai Lian, the butler showed a deep-seated respect,

a respect he did not even show to Ji Shaojun, or even Mu Yining.

With Bai Lian and Ji Heng both about to leave, Mu Yining could only escort them out of Lanlin Pavilion.

Outside Lanlin Pavilion, the Mu family clan uncles and managers from the side branches were all waiting for Mu Yining. They saw Bai Lian.

Manager Xu naturally recognized Bai Lian, especially having seen her before with Jiang Fulai. Manager Xu politely inquired, “Miss Bai, why didn’t you come back for the New Year?”

Bai Lian stopped and nodded in greeting, “I took a trip abroad.”

She didn’t mention the purpose.

The clan uncles and the management of the Mu Family just casually greeted Bai Lian; they weren’t concerned about where Bai Lian had gone. Jiang Fulai’s sudden appearance had certainly drawn their attention to Bai Lian and Ji Shaojun for a while.

But afterwards, there was no more news about Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai, and the two were not seen together at the Mu Family. Sentiments in aristocratic families were the least reliable, what counted was the matching of social status.

The Mu Family could once compare with the Jiang Family, but now they were not even close to being on the same level.

Therefore, seeing Bai Lian and Ji Shaojun this time, they merely nodded perfunctorily, with their gaze quickly shifting to Ren Wanxuan.

“Miss Ren, the thing you mentioned earlier to President Mu…”

This was the first time the people of the Mu Family had ignored Ji Shaojun and Bai Lian, centering on themselves.

Ren Wanxuan saw Bai Lian and Shen Qing leaving the mansion with a glance from the corner of her eye and lowered her gaze.

Beside her, Ren Jiawei hadn’t spoken much today. On their way to the meeting room, Ren Wanxuan asked Ren Jiawei, “Mom, what’s the matter with you?”
