Chapter 77: A Small Wish

  One year later.

  At the opening ceremony of "Shiwai Taoyuan", Ji Xin'an wore a well-fitting dress standing next to Song Jiangliang with a beaming smile, while on the other side stood suit-and-tie clad Zou Ze and Zheng Fei.

  Watching the political leaders and business elites who are usually only seen on TV, Ji Xin'an couldn't help but admire Song Jiangliang's tactics. He was able to invite so many people who didn't even dare to think about it, and even invited the governor to cut the ribbon in person, which is a great publicity stunt in itself.

  Actually, the publicity before the opening was very strong, and now even people in neighboring cities know that there is such a "Challenging Xianjing" here. This project is highly valued by the city government, and even the propaganda department has cooperated with it. The provincial TV station's news program also used a separate time slot to introduce it. So before its official opening, "Shiwai Taoyuan" has already become a household name.

  It's no wonder that so many people came to such an ordinary opening ceremony today.

  Apart from those people from all walks of life whom Song Jiang had invited with great effort, there were even more people who came to watch the excitement after seeing the advertisement.

  Ji Xin'an looked at the two tense faces and smiled lightly, "I'm fine, you don't have to be so tense, it's just a small boss, what could happen to me?"

  Song Jiangliang knew the inside story, but Jiang Ruijin's eyes were not that simple. "An An, you'd better stay away from him in the future, this person is not simple." He couldn't help feeling a bit disheartened, he had said before that once he had his own company, he would be able to protect Ji Xianan well, but now their strength compared to Jiang Ruijin's was far too inferior.

  "I know, besides I'm in school every day, how can I have anything to do with him, you don't have to worry too much." Ji Xin'an knew Song Jiangliang's knot, that time letting her face Jiang Rui-bin alone, Song Jiangliang had always been self-blaming.

  "What are you talking about? What does that person do to make you so nervous?" Zou Ze also sensed something was off, but he didn't know what a businessman had to be worried about.

  "It's nothing, just someone unrelated." Ji Xin'an replied calmly to Zou Ze.

  Is Jiang Ruibin really just an irrelevant person? They will all know later.

  After sending everyone away, Song Jiang didn't let go of Ji Xin'an, who was also about to leave, and brought her and Zou Ze to the top floor, where there was only one room that was not open to the outside. This room was designed entirely by Ji Xin'an herself, with a full glass floor-to-ceiling window, a garden-style balcony, and simple decor, looking simple and comfortable.

  When the three of them arrived, Zheng Fei was already here, lighting candles.

  "What are you doing?" Ji Xin'an looked at the candles all over the house in surprise.

  "The daytime celebration doesn't count for anything, that's just for outsiders to see. We should celebrate ourselves, all these were arranged by Zheng Fei, he said you would definitely like them." Song Jianglai smiled and also lit the candles with a childlike heart.

  "You two have been busy all day and aren't even tired." Ji Xin'an smiled and shook her head, this Zheng Fei was really thoughtful, she had only mentioned these things once, but he remembered them.

  "How can we be tired, when we're still excited and these are our own achievements? Of course, we have to celebrate." Zheng Fei blew out the last candle, poured some red wine and walked over.

  "Yes, I really didn't expect to have such an achievement. I mainly want to thank Anan, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even dare to think about it." Song Jiangliang said with emotion.

  "Song Ge, how can you say that? If it weren't for you, all these would just be empty ideas. It's you who turned them into reality." Ji Xin'an shook his head and said.

  "Let's stop being polite, we're all important, so let's have a drink for our importance." Zheng Fei interrupted the two men's courtesy and raised his glass.

  "Right, let's drink one for ourselves." Everyone laughed and raised their cups to take a swig.

  Several people sighed for a while and then relaxed. Song Jiangliang and Zheng Fei even started drinking, making Ji Xin'an laugh and cry at the same time.

  Nothing's wrong without her, Ji Xin got up and started admiring the room she designed. Although it was designed by her, she had never looked at it so carefully before.

  She walked out onto the veranda, just as she had imagined, with ivy and clematis planted all around, everything was green, the ground was covered in pebbles, and a beautiful swing hung in the middle. This kind of veranda had always been her dream, but after starting work, this kind of house was not something that someone from her working-class background could afford.

  Gently sitting on the swing, admiring the beautiful night scenery outside, gently swaying the swing, another small wish of mine has come true, with a hint of satisfaction in my heart.
