Chapter 70 Heading to the Capital

Wu Jun responded: "The child finished eating and went back to his room a long time ago."

As she spoke, she suddenly smelled a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol coming from Lan Yaoxia.

He couldn't help but frown, showing a little dissatisfaction, and urged: "Go upstairs and take a shower quickly, you smell all over."

After returning to the room, Li Jinxi immediately ran over like a happy little bird, threw herself into Lan Yaoxia's arms, and said with a coquettish smile: "Boss Lan, you, a busy man, are finally willing to go home!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Jinxi's nose keenly smelled the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol on Lan Yaoxia.

Her expression instantly became serious, and she asked with wide eyes, "Lan Yaoxia, did you sneak out to fool around behind my back? Tell me the truth!"

Seeing this, Lan Yaoxia quickly raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and hurriedly explained, "God and heaven are my conscience, my dear wife, I just went out to attend a drinking party."

Then he added cautiously: "I only drank a little bit of alcohol, but I didn't smoke a single cigarette. If you don't believe me, you can check it out!"

Then Lan Yaoxia swore in all seriousness, "I swear, there was absolutely no such PR woman present at the time! If I tell even a single lie, God will strike me with lightning!"

Li Jinxi still refused to give in, and continued to put on a stern interrogation posture, asking: "Really? You are not allowed to lie to me!"

Lan Yaoxia quickly replied with a solemn oath: "Of course it's true, I swear to God!"

After hearing Lan Yaoxia's firm assurance, Li Jinxi's expression eased a little, but she still said with a warning tone: "Humph, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise...you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Lan Yaoxia gently stroked Li Jinxi's hair and said lovingly, "Don't worry, honey. How could I lie to you? Liars are like dogs."

Li Jinxi kept saying, "Pah, pah, pah, who wants to spend their whole life with a puppy?"

After saying that, she pushed Lan Yaoxia towards the bathroom, muttering, "Go take a shower! It stinks!"

Lan Yaoxia gently kissed Li Jinxi on the cheek and said softly, "Okay, baby, I'll go wash now," then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Li Jinxi reached out and wiped the place where she was kissed, frowned and muttered: "Hmm... a strong smell of alcohol, it's so bad!"

She couldn't help but think of Lan Yaoxia's drunken appearance in the past, and felt helpless.

At this time, in the hall downstairs, Lan Yonggui was talking to his daughter Lan Ning.

Lan Yonggui looked at Lan Ning and said in a serious tone: "Tell Yao Xia to come down later. I have something to discuss with him."

Lan Ning nodded to show that she understood, and then took out her phone to send a message to Lan Yaoxia. While typing, she asked her father: "Dad, is it because of what happened in Beijing?"

Lan Yonggui nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, the National Chamber of Commerce Conference was suddenly held in Beijing this time, and the situation is a bit special. As the chairman of the Linhai Chamber of Commerce, if our Lan family does not attend this conference, it may cause some unnecessary trouble."

After hearing this, Lan Ning showed a trace of doubt on her face and asked, "But weren't the Chamber of Commerce meetings usually held in the middle of the year? Why is it so strange this year that they only announced it when the Chinese New Year is approaching?"

Lan Yonggui shook his head and sighed, "I don't know the specific reason, I just know that this meeting was decided suddenly."

"Maybe there's something important that needs to be discussed. Whatever the case, we must be fully prepared."

Li Jinxi heard the notification tone of Lan Yaoxia's phone and curiously leaned over to take a look. A message from Lan Ning popped up on the screen.

She whispered to Lan Yaoxia who was washing her hair in the bathroom, "Honey, your sister sent you a message asking you to go downstairs."

Lan Yaoxia's vague response came from the bathroom: "Got it."

About twenty minutes later, Lan Yaoxia changed into a loose set of pajamas and came downstairs. She sat opposite Lan Yonggui and asked, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lan Yonggui looked at his grown-up son and said earnestly, "You need to go to the capital tomorrow. A national chamber of commerce conference has suddenly been held in the capital. This meeting is very important. You will attend on behalf of our family."

Lan Yaoxia nodded to show that she understood, and then asked in confusion: "Conference? What exactly is it about?"

Lan Yonggui explained: "It is not clear yet, but it should be closely related to business development. This is also a rare opportunity for you to meet more people in the industry and expand your network resources."

Then, Lan Yonggui smiled and continued, "I have already informed an old friend of mine in advance. You can stay at his house for two days after you arrive in Beijing."

Lan Yaoxia asked in confusion: "Which friend?" Lan Yonggui replied: "It's the Shen family in Beijing. The head of the Shen family, Shen Shenghe, and I have known each other for many years."

"This is your first time in the capital, and you are unfamiliar with the place. I am really worried. If you stay with him, he can take care of you, and it will be more convenient for you to get things done."

After hearing this, Lan Yaoxia felt much more at ease and quickly agreed: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your arrangement, Dad."

After chatting for a while, Lan Yaoxia went upstairs back to her room.

At this moment, Li Jinxi had just finished taking a shower and stepped out of the bathroom, with her wet hair draped over her shoulders, exuding a charming fragrance.

She immediately saw Lan Yaoxia coming back, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she asked softly, "Husband, what did your sister ask you to talk about in the hall?"

Lan Yaoxia lay down on the bed and answered thoughtfully: "My father asked me to go to the capital tomorrow. It will probably take several days to return."

Hearing this, Li Jinxi couldn't help but look surprised and asked, "Going to the capital? Why so hasty?"

Lan Yaoxia frowned slightly and explained, "Yes, the capital has decided to hold a national chamber of commerce conference."

"Now that I have taken over the affairs of the group and shouldered the important task of chairman of the Linhai Chamber of Commerce, if I do not attend this meeting, I am afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble."

Li Jinxi showed a little disappointment on her face, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then go ahead."

"But when you get to the capital, don't go around flirting with other girls! My eyes are very sharp, and any clues will not escape my eyes."

Lan Yaoxia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, and teased: "Haha, don't worry, my dear wife, I will definitely follow your teachings!"
