Fang Yuan's welcoming banquet was scheduled at the Jingjue Hotel. The Fang family invited several relatives, plus some of Fang Yuan's classmates. Originally, it was planned that 20 people would book a table, but when they arrived, they found out that there were far more people than that.

At six o'clock in the evening, I drove from the airport to the sixth floor of Jingjue Hotel, and all the restaurants on the west side were booked.

Fang's parents thought they had come to the wrong place.

"We didn't book this floor, did we?"

The two were wondering, and when they entered the restaurant, they saw several of their relatives already waiting inside.

The Fang family does foreign trade business in the suburbs of Beijing. It has developed well in recent years and all the relatives in the family are in the business world.

One of the cousins ​​saw Mr. Fang coming and pulled him aside to ask quietly.

"Zhong Qi, do you know the president of Lianzhong? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Fang Zhongqi was confused by the question and replied casually: "How can I know him? I do know this person, but Mr. Shang doesn't know me!"

After all, the business scale is different, so the Fang family dare not even think about it.

"If you don't know him, then who booked this restaurant? I asked, and the manager said that Mr. Shang specifically asked for him to be transferred here!"

Booking half of the restaurant on the sixth floor of Jingjue is not something you can do just by having money.

Fang Zhongqi felt sweat on his forehead, and Fang Yuan came over after settling everyone down.

"Yuanyuan, do you know the president of Lianzhong, Shang Jianghan?"

Fang Yuan nodded, "Yes, I know him, Chao Xi's husband!"

Shen Chaoxi is Mrs. Shang!
Fang Zhongqi was stunned for a few seconds before digesting this information.

At half past six, another group of people came to the restaurant, all of them were students from Class 9.

Bai Jinyuan also came, bringing Wen Zhaolin and their son who was a few months old.

Even Fang Yuan didn't expect this lineup.

Xiao Xiaoyu was also surprised and said that she had only sent an invitation on WeChat Moments but did not expect that everyone would be invited.

Fang Yuan had mixed feelings. Her return to China at this time was not a glorious one and she felt a little down and out. However, her classmates did not show any sympathy when they saw her. They were as enthusiastic as they were when they were in school.

Even Yu Nan, who had never seen eye to eye with her at school, ran over to hug her.

Yu Nan has been working as a print model for a media company for the past two years. She is doing quite well and still speaks in a tender manner, but her personality has become much more generous.

"I was so naive when I was in school. It was only when I entered society that I realized how pure the friendship between my classmates was!"

Yu Nan came over and greeted Shen Chaoxi and Zhongli specifically.

Last year, the media that Yu Nan worked for was caught up in a scandal and almost ruined everything. It was these two who lent her a hand at the critical moment. It was also then that she knew that Shen Chaoxi was Mrs. Shang.

Half of the students in the class are married or have boyfriends or girlfriends, so I take this opportunity to bring them out to meet them.

Therefore, dozens of people came in large numbers.

However, the west side restaurant is large enough to accommodate six large tables.

The food was served and the drinks were poured. When Fang Yuan stood up to start the show, he heard a commotion coming from the door of the hall.

All the invited people have arrived, and no one can imagine who else will come.

At this time, Shen Chaoxi was sitting on the inside. She was playing finger games with Bai Jinyuan's Wen Lun. She looked up when she heard a noise.

Sitting at the outermost table in the restaurant were members of the Fang family and their relatives, who all stood up and walked towards the door.

A group of people blocked the entrance, so they couldn't see who was coming, but they could hear someone calling out, "Boss Shang, Boss Song!"

It was really unexpected that Shang Jianghan and Song Yang would come.

When Fang Zhongqi saw Shang Jianghan in person, he was a hundred times more shocked than when he found out that this restaurant was booked by Mr. Shang.

Who is Shang Jianghan?
Everyone in Beijing knows him. In the business world, if you can have a meal with him, you must be at an unattainable level.

Shang Jianghan was not just passing by today, he came here on purpose.

Therefore, he dressed more casually, wearing a T-shirt and long pants, looking elegant. Finally, a path was made in the crowd, and when everyone saw who was coming, they couldn't help but look at Shen Chaoxi again.

"Chao Xi, your husband! He must have specially found you. I'm so envious!"

Shen Chaoxi's cheeks became hot due to the teasing, and he smiled: "Don't forget that he is also the physical education teacher of Class 9."

Shen Chaoxi's words woke everyone up, and then the topic turned to the two of them.

"Yes! Chao Xi, can you share with us your love story with Teacher Shang?"

Some of these classmates just found out about the relationship between the two today. Besides being shocked, they were also extremely curious.

"That's right, say it! Say it!"

Shang Jianghan and Song Yang were intercepted by the Fang family and sat at the first table, where Wen Zhaolin was also sitting.

Fang Yuan originally stood up to start the conversation, but she saw that her family had already forgotten about hosting a welcoming party for her.

Fang Yuan simply didn't care and started to clink glasses and eat and drink with his classmates.

The welcoming banquet lasted for an hour. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they discussed where to go to have some fun.

Someone suggested going to White Night.

"Come on, Bai Ye has nowhere to go at this hour, why don't we just go to a KTV and have some fun!"

"Alas! What a pity, I haven't been to the White Night yet!"

"As a citizen of Shangjing, I have never even been to Bai Ye. I feel ashamed to tell others about it!"

Fang Yuan interrupted, "It doesn't matter. When I get settled, we'll get together again and it'll be Bai Ye!"

Zhongli walked in from outside, heard everyone talking, and waved to Song Yang.

When the group of people saw Song Yang, they started to make a fuss again.

Back then, Song Yang was also a prominent figure in Dongzhi No. 1 Middle School.

"Hello, Senior Song!"

"How can we call him Senior Song? He is Zhongli's husband now. Should we call him brother-in-law or brother-in-law?"

After a few glasses of red wine, the girls became bolder and started joking.

Song Yang was not annoyed. He had just been toasted with a few glasses of wine by the Fang family and was in high spirits. He came over and pulled Zhongli into his arms.

Seeing the two celebrities openly showing their affection, everyone burst into laughter again.

Zhongli waved his hand to silence them, "Stop making trouble. If you don't want to go to Baiye to play, I've found a guide for you. Hurry up and prepare to move to another location!"

When they heard that they could go to Bai Ye, everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into cheers.

Shen Chaoxi held Wen Lun and hid from the group of people, then handed the child to Bai Jinyuan.

"The child is sleepy. I will go home soon. I have classes tomorrow, so I won't go to Bai Ye with you!" Bai Jinyuan left her seat and walked towards Wen Zhaolin while talking to Shen Chaoxi.

Shen Chaoxi also followed and stood right behind Shang Jianghan.

At this time, no one in the Fang family had any intention of leaving, and they all wanted to talk to Shang Jianghan.

Shen Chaoxi casually placed one hand on Shang Jianghan's shoulder, and the next moment his warm big hand held it.

Shang Jianghan took the opportunity to stand up.

"I have a small child at home, so I can't stay for long. I'll have a chance to get together and chat with you all later."

Fang Zhongqi then stood up and walked forward to shake hands with Shang Jianghan.

"I didn't expect Mr. Shang and Mr. Song to come. My daughter was able to escape and return from abroad. It was all thanks to Mrs. Shang's mediation. I will definitely come to thank you one day!"

Shang Jianghan nodded slightly: "Mr. Fang, you are too polite. My wife and your daughter were classmates. They were as close as sisters during school. It is natural for me to help you. It is also a good thing that they have a good relationship. They can visit each other more often. If there is anything at home, just let me know."
