2132 Sister Nian Estimated Two or Three Tables
Lifting the blanket and getting out of bed, she walked into the bathroom in her slippers, turned on the tap with one hand, and splashed cold water on her face.
Qiao Nian finally sobered up a little when the cold water hit her face.
Turning off the tap and glancing at the sleepy person in the mirror, she took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing. Then, she turned around and walked out. Her tone was much lighter now as she said, “It’s fine. I also set the alarm clock at this time.”
Qiao Nian wasn’t lying.
She had indeed set the alarm at this time.
However, it was for an hour later.
Nan Tianyi had called too early and forcefully got her out of bed an hour earlier.
Qiao Nian walked to the desk and pulled out a chair to sit down. Then, she lowered her eyes and asked casually, “Uncle Nan, why are you looking for me?”
Nan Tianyi was embarrassed by her question. He coughed softly to hide his embarrassment and smiled. “I was worried that you would forget about coming to the Intercontinental for lunch, so I called you in advance to remind you. I didn’t expect you to still be asleep…”
Qiao Nian guessed that he was looking for her because of this, so she nodded and said calmly, “I remember. Don’t worry.”
Nan Tianyi said a few more things before Xie Tingyun could be heard calling out to him.
Nan Tianyi stopped talking and just reminded her carefully, “Nian Nian, there are many guests today. Remember to tell me before you come. I’ll go out and pick you up.”
“Okay,” Qiao Nian replied. She looked at the time. It wasn’t even nine o’clock. There were still three hours before lunch.
She estimated the time of departure and then said, “I’ll go over at about 10:30, okay?”
“10:30? Huh? Then, it’ll be almost 11 o’clock when you get to the hotel?” Nan Tianyi calculated the time and said readily, “Sure. You can probably arrive at the hotel before 11:30. Come half an hour early. Your Auntie Xie wants to introduce you to a few friends.”
Xie Tingyun’s friends had to be famous figures in the independent continent. This could be considered a handover of connections.
Qiao Nian pressed her temples and didn’t reject Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun’s good intentions. She nodded. “I know.”
“Your Aunt Xie is calling me. I’ll go over first.” Nan Tianyi smiled and said, “Nian Nian, remember to call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Nian hung up and then looked down at her phone.
Zhou Zhou had sent her a message early in the morning to ask if she had set off.
Feng Yu had also sent her a message last night. One in the morning, he asked her if she wanted to wear a formal suit tomorrow.
Then, there was Shen Qingfeng’s message… His intention was the same. He mainly wanted to ask her what to give her on Old Madam Shen’s behalf.
Qiao Nian didn’t invite many people.
Other than Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and Gu San, she invited a few people from the research institute who she had a good relationship with.
The three people from Team 10: Shen Qingfeng, Xu Yi, and Xue Zhu.
Shen Qingfeng had asked her out on Old Madam Shen’s behalf before. The Old Madam had taken the initiative to express her concern a few times, so Qiao Nian asked Shen Qingfeng to bring Old Madam Shen over for the meal.
Therefore, she invited a total of seven or eight people.
She didn’t know how many people Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi had invited.
However, Xie Tingyun had told her that this would be a small banquet. She only invited some close friends.
Qiao Nian didn’t go to the Intercontinental Hotel. She still didn’t know about the situation.
According to Xie Tingyun, not many people would be attending today.
Only about two or three tables worth of people.
