After learning about the eighth sister of the Feng family, Meng Lanting's intuition told her that this invitation came by chance.
Her subconscious instinct was to stay away.
But facing the smiling and smiling eighth sister of the Feng family, she really couldn't say the word "no".
After seeing off the people and returning to the office, Meng Lanting packed up his things and went back to Zhou's house, amidst Mrs.
Hu's recent almost abnormally enthusiastic chatter.
With a slight worry in mind, Meng Lanting left school and returned to Zhou's house.
I told the eighth sister of the Feng family about going to watch the military competition.
Mrs.
Zhou was a little curious and was asking for details.
There was a polite knock on the door from the other end of the living room.
Someone asked: "Is Mrs.
Zhou at home?"
Mrs.
Zhou got up and went out to open the door.
Several people stood at the doorstep.
The man in front was in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a manager of a foreign bank.
Behind him were two accompanying secretaries, each holding a large bag of things.
"You are" Mrs.
Zhou didn't recognize the person and looked at him suspiciously.
"You are Mrs.
Zhou, my surname is Liu.
Mrs.
Zhou, just call me Liu.
I am the manager of Miss Feng Ba's company, and I was sent here by Miss Feng."
The other party hurriedly took out a business card and handed it over respectfully.
The eighth young lady of the Feng family is a famous lady among famous ladies.
The customers of her company are also positioned as ladies and ladies, and their clothes are expensive.
Although Mrs.
Zhou didn't buy it, she had heard about it.
She was a little surprised and hurriedly asked people to come in and sit down.
Manager Liu smiled and shook his head: "It's presumptuous to come here, so I don't dare to disturb you.
Well, our company has released a new batch of styles.
Miss Feng always values the experience of our distinguished guests, so she sent me to deliver a few pieces to Mrs.
Zhou and Miss Meng." clothing."
The two secretaries stepped forward and each placed a dozen beautiful bags decorated with butterfly ribbons at the door.
"Oh, this" Mrs.
Zhou was confused for a moment and looked back at Meng Lanting who came out after hearing the sound.
"After you try it on, if you have valuable comments or suggestions, it will be a great encouragement to the company."
Manager Liu turned to Meng Lanting again.
"Ms.
Meng, these are some of the belongings you lost at the train station when you first came to Shanghai last year.
Miss Feng said that unfortunately, due to her limited ability, she only recovered some books from a second-hand book shop.
The rest of the property may not be recovered.
I brought it here for you to see if it’s yours.”
With that said, he handed over a bag and opened it for her.

Meng Lanting looked down and saw that it was indeed the book he had brought over.
In addition to several original copies sent back by my younger brother from overseas, one of them has been on my father's desk for a long time and contains his father's handwritten notes.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, after going around and around, these books would finally be back in my hands.
Meng Lanting was extremely surprised and pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him.
"I don't dare take it seriously.
I'm just running errands.
I'm bothering Mrs.
Zhou and Miss Meng.
I'll take my leave first."
Manager Liu bowed to the two of them and immediately led them away.
Manager Liu came and went like the wind, put down his things and left.
Mrs.
Zhou had to move in the large pile of beautifully packaged clothes pockets at the door.
What Feng Lingmei gave to Meng Lanting were all kinds of summer dresses, but what she gave to Mrs.
Zhou to "try on" were seven or eight seasonal cheongsams.
The materials are all fine silk, half printed and plain.
As for the style and workmanship, they are even more impeccable.
A tailor who has not been immersed in craftsmanship for decades would not be able to achieve such fineness.
The market price of each piece is probably at least a few dozen yuan, especially one suitable for attending events.
The embroidery work is even more complicated.
It is impossible to afford it without a few hundred yuan.
This was the first time that Mrs.
Zhou had encountered such a thing, and she was a little confused for a moment.
When she was looking at the clothes, her neighbor Mrs.
Wang couldn't wait to hear the news and came to the door.
She gathered around the clothes, touched this one, and marked that one on her body. , there was a lot of discussion, and everyone was envious.
Finally sending them away, Mrs.
Zhou carefully folded a silk cheongsam that Mrs.
Wang had shaken open just now, and said uneasily: "Lanting, how can I be so embarrassed?
Miss Feng gave you the clothes because of your heart.
How could I want it, let alone her?"
My clothes are not cheap.
I will give them back to her when she comes to pick you up tomorrow.”
Meng Lanting should be fine.
I went back to my room at night, sat under the lamp, and carefully cleaned a few books that were back in my hands with a handkerchief.
When I accidentally opened one of them, an old picture fell out from the middle of the pages. photo.
Meng Lanting picked up the photo, looked at it for a while, and threw it into a wastebasket at his feet.
The next morning, Feng Lingmei arrived as promised.
Mrs.
Zhou got up early in the morning, cleaned up the house inside and out, boiled water, prepared tea, and waited for Feng Lingmei to arrive and invited her to sit inside.
Feng Lingmei didn't refuse, came in with a smile and sat down.
Mrs.
Zhou exchanged greetings with her, thanked her, and said what she meant.
Feng Lingmei smiled: "Madam, this is too unruly.
Lanting is like my biological sister, who has always been taken care of by you.

It's just a few clothes from my own family, and it's not a valuable thing.
If Madam insists on being polite to me, won't you?
You don’t treat me like an outsider.”
"this" Feng Lingmei stood up, stepped forward and gently held Mrs.
Zhou's hand.
"Lanting calls me Eighth Sister.
If you weren't afraid of Mrs.
You thinking that I recognize relatives randomly, I would have called you Auntie too.
My niece just gave my aunt some clothes.
What's more, Professor Zhou, an academic leader like me, even people from Nanjing have met.
Also be respectful and let Auntie, if you are willing to wear my clothes, you are giving me face.
I can't even ask for it."
She took Meng Lanting's hand and turned around and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhou, I'll take care of you first.
Lan Ting is gone.
Don't worry, we will send her back when it's over."
Mrs.
Zhou was actually happy in her heart, and because Miss Feng's words gave her no excuse, she had no choice but to give up, send the two of them out with a smile, and told Meng Lanting to play with ease.
Feng Lingmei took Meng Lanting out of the alley, got into the back seat of the car together, and said to Lao Yan in front: "Let's drive."
Lao Yan responded and immediately started the car.
On the way, Meng Lanting thanked her sincerely for finding the book for her.
Feng Lingmei smiled and said, "You're welcome.
To be honest, compared to our Xiaojiu's offense to you, this is really not worth mentioning."
"He has been spoiled by our sisters since he was a child.
He has a bad temper and doesn't know how to be considerate.
But there is one thing, that is, he has a good heart.
I can guarantee this.
I hope you, Lan Ting, can Forgive me, sir, don’t get along with him.
He will be wiser in the future.”
Meng Lanting smiled slightly and lowered his eyes.
The car drove out of the city and into the suburbs.
It drove for about half an hour, getting farther and farther away from the city.
Finally, after passing a wide road paved with yellow mud and gravel, it entered a flat land behind a mountain col.
Finally arrived at today’s destination, a base in East China.
Today's open military competition is held here.
Naturally, Meng Lanting didn't know the exact size of the base, but the venue, which was open only for the competition today, was so big that it was almost impossible to see the end of it.
The invited audience were all gentlemen and ladies, well-dressed.
In addition to these high-ranking people from all walks of life, the rest were journalists from newspapers and journalists from all over the country and a few from the United States who entered with charters.
Feng Lingmei arrived a little late.
The audience and the rostrum were almost full.
At the entrance, the military band played the golden drums and Khotanese ritual music, which was deafening.
Just as Meng Lanting got off the bus with Feng Lingmei, an officer who was waiting there ran over and saluted, "Eighth Miss, Miss Meng, Madam asked me to take you to your seats."
Feng Lingmei nodded with a smile, took Meng Lanting's arm, followed the officer into the venue, and climbed onto the podium.
Their positions are reserved in the middle of the middle rows.
It's not very conspicuous, but the sight line is excellent and the venue is unobstructed.
Nearby, except for Feng Lingyi, all the other sisters of the Feng family were already sitting.

Even the second sister of the Feng family, whom Meng Lanting had not met last time in Nanjing, also came.
The sisters of the Feng family are either rich or noble and have a great reputation.
On such an occasion today, except for Feng Lingmei who is wearing a hat and a dress, the rest of them are all wearing cheongsam.
They are all dressed up to show their status, but they are all decent.
Others can only look at this row of ladies from the Feng family with awe.
However, the sisters showed no intimidation towards Meng Lanting.
They all showed friendly smiles and asked for help.
The second sister who met her for the first time asked her to sit next to her and took off a pair of aqua-colored jade bracelets from her wrists.
She said she came in a hurry.
She just arrived on the plane at midnight last night and didn't prepare anything good.
She just took it as a meeting gift and didn't care.
Meng Lanting thanked her again and again, and finally put the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Meng Lanting could only say thanks with a blushing face.
The second sister clapped her hand and looked at each other with the other sisters, showing a knowing smile.
The more kindly the Feng sisters were to her, the stronger the uneasiness felt in Meng Lanting's heart, and she even developed a fear of having to live up to her in the future.
Especially on the way here, Feng Lingmei's words seemed to be unintentional, but in retrospect, they seemed to have a hidden meaning, which made her feel even more uneasy.
Meng Lanting couldn't help but regret the mistake he made yesterday due to his negligence and quick talk.
She clearly felt that from the moment she was brought to the podium by Feng Lingmei and sat down in this position, countless curious or probing eyes were looking at her from all sides.
Now she is sandwiched between the sisters of the Feng family, occupying a high position that was not hers originally, and receiving all kinds of curious or probing gazes from all sides.
For her, it is like sitting on pins and needles.
When I was feeling anxious, suddenly, the loud drum music stopped, and all kinds of noisy noises in my ears also disappeared.
Instead, there was a burst of warm applause, and everyone stood up while applauding.
Meng Lanting raised his eyes and saw a group of people filing onto the rostrum.
Reporters were vying to take photos nearby, and flashlights kept popping.
She naturally recognized Feng Lingyi, the eldest sister of the Feng family, and her husband who was traveling with her.
The eldest sister wore a black velvet cheongsam, with a dignified manner and a smile on her face.
She nodded to the welcoming people on all sides, walked to the center of the rostrum, sat down side by side with her husband, and motioned for everyone to return to their seats.
The long and warm applause finally stopped, and the guests returned to their seats one after another.
Mayor Huang of Shanghai, who served as today's master of ceremonies, appeared on stage radiantly and delivered a passionate speech of thanks before announcing the official start of the competition. gd1806102:
