After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1277 - 1276: Celebration Banquet

When Xia Chuyi voiced her confusion, the director informed her, "He's Guo Jiumin, referred to as Mr. Guo from the esteemed Guo family in the Capital City."

"Guo Jiumin?" This name caused Xia Chuyi to pause for a moment before a frown creased her brow as she mused, "Is Guo Jiumin still in the Capital City?"

For reasons she couldn't quite articulate, Xia Chuyi had always perceived something peculiar about Guo Jiumin.

However, lacking familiarity with him, Xia Chuyi couldn't precisely identify what felt odd about him.

At this juncture, the director added, "Indeed, it is Mr. Guo Jiumin. Speaking of which, Mr. Guo attended your child's full-month banquet alongside Mr. Huo."

"By any chance, do you wish to meet with Mr. Guo?" the director inquired casually of Xia Chuyi.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi decisively shook her head, stating, "Let's forgo that. Mr. Guo attended the banquet primarily out of respect for the elders."

"I am not well-acquainted with him, nor is there any particular reason necessitating a meeting," Xia Chuyi conveyed with a calm demeanor.

"Understood." Hearing her response, the director offered no further insistence, simply remarking, "I shall escort him to meet you once Ke Xin concludes his discussion with Mr. Guo."

Xia Chuyi offered a nod of agreement, saying, "Very well."

Regardless of whether Xia Chuyi's intuition about Guo Jiumin was accurate, their acquaintance was superficial, and Guo Jiumin seemed to have little profound connection with the Ou and Huo families.

Consequently, Xia Chuyi felt no compelling need to meet this individual.

Thereafter, Xia Chuyi and the director proceeded into the banquet hall.

The moment they stepped inside, Xia Chuyi distinctly heard the director exclaim, "Ah, Ke Xin?"

As the director spoke, his gaze directed itself towards a particular spot.

Following the director's line of sight, Xia Chuyi looked in that direction.

There, a middle-aged man clad in a suit was rapidly approaching, and with a trace of excitement, he inquired of Xia Chuyi, "Are you... Miss Xia?"

Xia Chuyi was momentarily surprised but then offered a slight smile, responding to the middle-aged man, "I am."

"Greetings, Miss Xia!" The middle-aged man immediately replied upon receiving her confirmation, "I am Li Kexin!"

With that, the middle-aged man extended his hand towards Xia Chuyi.

"Greetings, Mr. Li, I am Xia Chuyi." Noticing his gesture, Xia Chuyi extended her hand in return to Li Kexin.

In truth, Xia Chuyi had already recognized Li Kexin when he first approached.

After all, in her previous existence, Li Kexin had been a towering figure within the real estate sector, not only in G City but across Country Z as well.

She had seen his visage on television screens and within the pages of newspapers.

Compared to his future prominence, Li Kexin's appearance had altered minimally, exhibiting only a slightly younger aspect at present.

Thus, following a brief moment of consideration, Xia Chuyi identified Li Kexin.

At that instant, the director interjected with a hearty laugh, "Haha, Ke Xin, you seem far more animated seeing Chuyi than you do seeing me, your old friend!"

"How could I possibly compare to Miss Xia?" Li Kexin retorted, directing a glance at the director. "Miss Xia is akin to a second parent, a veritable savior to me!"

"Were it not for Miss Xia's intervention, I would have faced utter bankruptcy and contemplated leaping off a building by now!" Li Kexin exclaimed, his voice tinged with both excitement and profound gratitude.

Xia Chuyi felt a pang of embarrassment at his words.

"I... I didn't actually do much," Xia Chuyi murmured softly.

To be perfectly candid, within Xia Chuyi's recollection, Li Kexin's real estate ventures in her past life had proceeded with remarkable smoothness, requiring no external intervention or assistance.
