Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Unease
A single person causing two people not to talk to them, Jiangli not only felt no remorse, but became even more smug.
Duan Jianchuan didn’t quite understand and was too lazy to ask what was on Jiangli’s mind.
The group returned to Fu Shiyan’s room for a temporary rest.
In the evening, all of them went to have dinner together.
Fu Shiyan invited Xun Tianhai, Bai Changfeng, and Meng Hongyao.
But just as they arrived at the restaurant, Xun Tianhai received a call from Chairman Qu Lin, asking where they were.
Xun Tianhai replied, "We’re out. Is there something you need, Chairman?"
Chairman Qu Lin said, "I heard the Abbot arrived today, and I wanted to invite them to dinner. I didn’t expect you to have gone out. Where are you? Pei Liang and I can come over."
Xun Tianhai looked at Jiangli and Fu Shiyan walking ahead, turned slightly, and whispered, "Chairman, we have quite a few people here, it seems a bit inconvenient... If it’s not urgent, maybe we can invite the Abbot to dinner tomorrow? There’s still two days before the competition starts, so any time in these two days would be fine, don’t you think?"
With Xun Tianhai saying this, Chairman Qu Lin didn’t say much, "You’re right, have fun and come back early. Let the Abbot rest well these days, I won’t disturb you."
Xun Tianhai agreed, promising they would definitely return early.
Chairman Qu Lin quickly hung up the phone.
Pei Jiu stood beside him. Seeing him put down the phone, he asked, "Tianhai and Changfeng are with them?"
Qu Lin nodded.
Pei Jiu frowned and said puzzledly, "Tianhai and Changfeng really, what’s the point in associating with them?"
Chairman Qu Lin smiled faintly, "Jiangli is capable. It’s good to associate with her more and learn a lot."
Pei Jiu was indifferent, "But I feel Jiangli isn’t the easiest person to get along with."
"Young people’s thoughts are different from ours, let them manage on their own."
Chairman Qu Lin patted Pei Jiu’s arm and said with a smile, "Let’s go, we two old bones need to eat too."
Pei Jiu, seeing he wasn’t worried, followed Chairman Qu Lin out, unable to help but say, "Chairman, you should still be cautious of Jiangli. We don’t know who she is, returning to Jiaoyang Temple again, who knows what she’s up to now. Better to be safe than sorry."
Chairman Qu Lin said gently, "I know what I’m doing, don’t worry."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiu sighed inwardly.
He thought, the Chairman was still too easygoing and kind-hearted.
With someone like Jiangli, whose background is unknown, it’s wise to be cautious.
Especially now, with Bai Changfeng and Xun Tianhai both closely allied with Jiangli, and the reputation of Jiaoyang Temple changing entirely.
In these circumstances, if Jiangli decides to do something, it would be too detrimental to them.
Pei Jiu thought he should be extra cautious for the Chairman.
...
On another side.
Bai Changfeng saw Xun Tianhai had just hung up a phone call, and had a hunch, "Was it my master’s call?"
Xun Tianhai nodded.
Bai Changfeng muttered to himself, "He wanted to find Jiangli, why not call me?"
Xun Tianhai didn’t think much about it, "Maybe he thought you were entertaining Fu and the others?"
Bai Changfeng pressed his lips together without saying anything.
Today, he was temporarily assigned by Master Qu Lin to entertain Fu Shiyan and those people.
Actually, he only learned today that the major sponsor was Fu Shiyan.
Before, he and Xun Tianhai only knew there was a major sponsor who took one of the invitation slots and specifically requested to take the slot from Xun Tianhai’s side.
