Chapter 423 Meeting with Brother Qi Huan
“Yes, I know her. Your wife is very famous now, of course I know her!” said the youngest-looking man.
“Yeah, your sister-in-law is so cool!” another young man said.
At this moment, Qi Huan turned to Jiang Youli and introduced them one by one from left to right: "Little Li'er, these are my friends, and this is Chen Yifan."
"Liang Man".
"Shen Mingyu".
"Liang Youqi".
Jiang Youli followed Qi Huan's introduction, glancing over the four people one by one, and then nodded.
The people who call her sister-in-law are Chen Yifan and Liang Youqi.
The people who called her sister-in-law were Liang Man and Shen Mingyu.
After memorizing the names of the four people, Jiang Youli placed the gifts she was carrying on the table and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Jiang Youli, Qi Huan's fiancée. It's a pleasure to meet you all. These are just a small token of my appreciation."
"There's a gift too? Sister-in-law, you're too kind," Chen Yifan said, still excitedly taking the gift over.
The other three also took their gifts one after another.
As the four people opened the gift boxes—
Chen Yifan stared in astonishment at the gift in his hand: "Sister-in-law, is this a USB drive shaped like an electrocardiogram?"
Jiang Youli nodded, "Yes."
Chen Yifan held it in his hand and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! Where did you find such a magical little gadget?"
Liang Man's gift was a book. He picked it up and read from the cover, "The hardcover edition of 'Common First Aid Manual'?"
As Liang Youqi unwrapped her own gift, she looked at Liang Man's gift and said, "Sister-in-law is probably worried that you're working too hard, Man-ge! Man-ge, study hard!"
Liang Man said earnestly, "I will definitely finish reading it."
Shen Mingyu stared into thought as she looked at the acupoint chart with her own chibi-style portrait printed on it.
Chen Yifan laughed heartily, "Hahaha, sister-in-law, are you reminding Brother Mingyu that he should start taking care of his health?"
Liang Youqi finished unwrapping her gifts and held up the anti-varicose vein stockings in her hand: "Sister-in-law, are you implying something?"
Before Jiang Youli could explain, Qi Huan said, "Little Li'er is a practical person; the gifts she gave you were all practical."
Chen Yifan agreed, saying, "That's true."
After handing out the gifts, Jiang Youli asked curiously, "I'm really curious, how did you meet Huanhuan?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Mingyu was the first to speak on this issue. His voice was deep and warm, and his pronunciation was clear and accurate.
“I went to the same high school as him, and I was the only one who wasn’t more than 30 points ahead of him in every midterm and final exam.” He paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly, “In order to catch up with or even surpass him, I swallowed my pride and asked him to tutor me in my senior year of high school.”
Jiang Youli turned to look at Qi Huan in surprise: "So you helped?"
Qi Huan nodded, her expression indifferent: "Yes, I helped."
The other three immediately crowded around, and Chen Yifan excitedly asked, "And the result?"
Shen Mingyu spread his hands, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Although my grades have indeed been improving and my score is getting closer and closer, I still fell behind him by seven points in the college entrance examination and ranked second in the whole school."
He looked up at Qi Huan, his tone filled with undisguised admiration, "And he, still firmly in first place."
Chen Yifan slammed his hand on the table: "Mingyu, not bad! Huan is such a genius, yet you're only seven points behind him!"
Liang Youqi interjected, "It's my turn."
He leaned back lazily on the sofa, tapping the table with his fingertip. "I know Huan Ge because during my freshman year of college, I got into some trouble off campus, and the other side sent some thugs to ambush me."
He shrugged. "As it turned out, Huan Ge just happened to be passing by and took them all down by himself."
Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow and looked at Qi Huan: "You can fight?"
Qi Huan said casually, "I've practiced a little."
Liang Man scoffed, "A little? Brother Huan, you're being modest."
He looked at Jiang Youli and explained, "Those guys grabbed their weapons, but Huan Ge didn't even have to take off his coat. He took them all down in five minutes and then called the police."
A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Youli's eyes: "It seems that our CEO Qi has quite a few skills that I don't know about."
Qi Huan looked down at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "If you want to know, ask me slowly later."
Chen Yifan eagerly raised his hand: "It's my turn! I met Huan Ge at a business summit. At that time, I had just taken over my family's company and was tricked into signing a terrible contract." He scratched his head. "Huan Ge and I didn't know each other at the time, but he saw through the other party's problem, pointed it out directly, and even helped me revise the terms."
Liang Youqi added: "After that, Yifan became Huan Ge's fanboy, calling him 'Huan Ge' all the time."
Chen Yifan said matter-of-factly, "So what? Brother Huan is my idol!"
Liang Man spoke last, his tone calm: "I met Brother Huan because of a cross-border merger and acquisition case."
He looked at Qi Huan with respect in his eyes, "At that time, the other party set a financial trap, and everyone thought that they were bound to lose. But Brother Huan did the opposite and not only did he not lose, but he also made three times the profit."
Jiang Youli listened, her smile deepening. She turned to look at Qi Huan and said softly, "It seems my fiancé is even more capable than I imagined."
Qi Huan chuckled and took her hand: "You only realize that now?"
A chorus of cheers erupted in the private room. Chen Yifan exaggeratedly covered his eyes, exclaiming, "Ouch, I can't take this dog food anymore!"
While everyone was cheering, Jiang Youli secretly drew circles on Qi Huan's palm with her fingertips, but he grabbed her hand behind her back.
Qi Huan rubbed her wrist with his thumb, feeling the pulse throbbing there, and Jiang Youli felt a tickling sensation travel from her wrist straight to her heart.
Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and a waiter walked in with a smile, carrying two exquisite menus.
She asked softly, "May I order now?"
Qi Huan smiled and replied, "That's fine, thank you."
Jiang Youli seemed rather casual, waving her hand and saying, "I don't have any special requirements, you can order whatever you like."
Upon hearing this, one of them joked, "Sister-in-law, then we really won't hold back!"
After saying that, the four of them took the menu and began to study it carefully.
Just as everyone was focused on ordering food, Jiang Youli's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang. She picked it up and glanced at the caller ID; it was her mother, Zhang Susu, calling.
Jiang Youli pressed the answer button, and her mother's anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Youli, I know you are on a date with Qi Huan right now, and I shouldn't bother you, but I really don't know what to do! Your father's assistant just called me and said that your father was taken away by the police at the company!"
Her mother's voice was clearly choked with sobs, which made Jiang Youli's heart tighten, but she tried her best to remain calm and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go to Jiang's Medical Center to see what's going on. Wait for my news at home, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the four people who were about to order food were stunned and looked up at Jiang Youli.
Qi Huan also realized that something must have happened to Xiao Li'er, and his eyes darkened.
