”A royal ball?” Fang Jin's brows twitched. Previously, because of Qin Xiu, she had participated in that wine party, which resulted in so many things happening. Now that she heard of this wine party again, Fang Jin's first thought was to refuse it.

However, when she saw Wang Mingshan's pleading gaze, Fang Jin still decided to agree. After all, he was short on manpower. Not to mention everything else, just the cheque filled with zeros that Wang Mingshan had given him just now made Fang Jin feel that it was best if he agreed.

Thinking of this, Fang Jin nodded at Wang Mingshan, and asked: ”Okay, when will the royal ball be held?”

”Tonight at seven o'clock! I'll pick you up then! ” Seeing that Fang Jin had agreed, Wang Mingshan's face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy. he said quickly.

Fang Jin nodded her head slightly. Without saying anything else, she turned around and quickly returned to the inn.

The afternoon passed quickly, and night gradually fell. By the time it was 6: 30 in the evening, Wang Mingshan had already driven his car and respectfully waited at the hotel entrance.

Fang Jin walked out of the hotel entrance and got into Wang Mingshan's car.

After Fang Jin was seated, Wang Mingshan drove the car towards the location of the party.

After half an hour, Fang Jin finally arrived at his destination. The number of people participating in the party this time was much larger than the one Fang Jin participated in before.

Wang Jinglong had already received the news. The moment Fang Jin entered the hall, Wang Jinglong immediately came up to welcome her with a smile that could not be covered up. He said to Fang Jin, ”Brother Fang, you've finally come. I've been waiting for you for such a long time!”

Fang Jin chuckled and shook his head slightly, but did not open his mouth to say anything. Fang Jin knew clearly in her heart that the reason why Wang Jinglong was so attentive towards him was only because he was a member of the National Security Bureau, as well as because of the power he held.

If he was only a commoner, Wang Jinglong would never treat him like this.

Because of this, Fang Jin naturally didn't care about Wang Jinglong's flattery.

As time passed, some of the guests gradually arrived at the large hall. Very quickly, Fang Jin was surrounded by people.

Most of these people were the people who had participated in the previous banquet. They had all seen Fang Jin's phone call and had called over the Central Discipline Commission's methods.

Although they didn't know what kind of background Fang Jin had, just a single phone call from her was enough to convince the normally mysterious and incomparably arrogant Commission for Discipline Inspection to come over.

As the saying goes, the flower palanquin was lifted by the crowd. Since these people were so attentive and attentive to him, it was not appropriate for Fang Jin to not stay a thousand miles away. It was just a show to see who had the better acting skills.

Just as Fang Jin was getting bored, a figure slowly walked over. The crowd of guests surrounding Fang Jin, upon seeing this person walk over, couldn't help but change their expressions and scatter.

Fang Jin also recognized the person who had just arrived. It was Qin Xiu's father, Qin Jianyang.

Today, Qin Fang Yang was wearing a black tailcoat, giving off the charm of a middle-aged man. He slowly walked to Fang Jin's side, his gaze quickly sizing up Fang Jin's body, and said: ”Fang Jin, right? I didn't expect that we would meet again today. ”

Hearing Qin Fang Yang's words, Fang Jin couldn't help but smile. Towards this secretary of the Jiangling Committee, Fang Jin's heart was filled with respect. This had nothing to do with Qin Xiu.

Not to mention anything else, at least during the reign of Qin Yanyang, he had done many good things for the people.

”Secretary Qin, what a coincidence.” This time, Fang Jin didn't address him as Uncle Qin. Previously, he had called him that because of Qin Xiu's presence. And this time, Qin Xiu wasn't here. In that case, it was better to be clear about the relationship between the two of them.

When he heard the name Fang Jin, Qin Fang Yang was stunned. As he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.

”Fang Jin, I heard you're still studying at Wuhu University, right?” Qin Fang Yang looked at Fang Jin and said with a smile.

Fang Jin smiled and nodded, ”That's right. Right now, I'm still a student.”

”I wonder how you and our family's Qin Xiu met. Little Xiu, this child's personality is rather impetuous. I presume you've taken quite a bit of effort to take care of her.” Qin Fang Yang had a kind smile on his face. Those who didn't know that he had seen him would think that his relationship with Fang Jin was very harmonious.

Fang Jin shook his head and laughed, ”Uncle Qin, I think you have misunderstood. The relationship between me and Qin Xiu is just an ordinary friendship. As for the previous time, it was because Qin Xiu didn't want to be with the hedonistic young master and had pulled me over as a shield. ”

All matters were the same. Although Fang Jin and Qin Xiu had a good relationship, there were some things that had to be clarified so as to not let others misunderstand. More importantly, Qin Xiu was a girl after all. As a girl, her reputation was very serious.

Fang Jin didn't want her mouth full of nonsense to hurt Qin Xiu.

Hearing Fang Jin's words, Qin Fang Yang could not help but furrow his brows, but he quickly recovered. Originally, according to his thoughts, he wanted Fang Jin to get closer to his daughter.

This was because Qin Fang Yang could tell that Fang Jin's background was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If his daughter was together with Fang Jin, it would be of great help to his future career.
