He had called at least a dozen times, and only two or three people had agreed to come for dinner. The others had found all sorts of reasons to decline.
It was obvious how difficult it was.
Beijing had always been a place where people were judged for their backgrounds.
Nian Nian had always stayed in Rao City and rarely came to Beijing. She also kept a low profile when she came to Beijing, and almost no one knew of her existence.
This time, the Jiang family suddenly wanted to hold a school banquet for their niece whom they had finally found in Rao City. When they heard that this girl was a relative from a small city, they all made up reasons to reject him before he could continue.
He was in his forties and was a famous figure in Beijing. Since others had rejected him politely, he couldn't shamelessly beg them to come for a meal.
After a series of phone calls, other than two or three small family clans that were sucking up to the Jiang family, no one from even a slightly better family clan was coming.
He could only place his hopes on his father.
"Dad, how many people are there on your side?"
Old Master Jiang didn't look too good. He looked exhausted and his eyelids were dark. "...Wen Ruxia from the Wen Family is coming, and so is Nie Mi. In addition, Principal Liang and Elder Huang will be coming. No one else is free."
Seeing that they were all from the academic world, his situation was not much better than Jiang Zongnan's.
Among the top families in Beijing, apart from Wen Ruxia, no one else wanted to come after being contacted.
This situation was beyond their expectations but also reasonable.
No matter what, their Old Master Jiang had already retired for a few years. The Jiang family's status in Beijing was deteriorating by the day. If not for the fact that Xianrou had connections with Ye Wangchuan and the others, the Jiang family would probably be even less confident.
Old Master Jiang wanted to hold a huge banquet for Qiao Nian this time. It was best to invite more famous people. This way, he could introduce Qiao Nian to the circle.
