The next day, Maggie and Johnny picked up Nn and headed to the reserved restaurant.
As soon as they arrived and stepped out of the car, Maggie spotted Reed and Jordan.
Nn had mentioned that someone wanted to meet her, so she had assumed it would be someone she
hadn’t met before.
She hadn’t expected Reed and Jordan to be there as well.
Maggie greeted them, “Uncle Hardin, Uncle Hall.”
Reed and Jordan smiled and nodded.
After some brief pleasantries, they were about to head upstairs when a voice called out behind them, “You’re all leaving without me?”
Maggie turned around and, upon seeing the neer, was momentarily stunned.
He…
Wasn’t he from the Ministry of National Defense?
Nn remained expressionless as he introduced him, “Quaid Barber.”
Quaid toned down the intimidating presence he usually exuded during interviews, smiled warmly, and extended his hand toward Maggie. “Maggie, is it? I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Yes,” Maggie replied. “Nice to meet you.”
“Everyone’s here,” another voice said.
A second car door opened, and yet another familiar face from the news stepped out.
Nn said tly, “Ryan Gibson.”
Maggie shook hands with him and was about to speak when another voice interrupted, “Dad?”
Rex stepped out of the car, stunned to see so many high–profile figures gathered.

But what shocked him even more-
Was that Maggie was among them.
However, seeing that Johnny and Nn were also present, it didn’t seem so surprising to see Maggie in this setting.
Reed didn’t expect to run into his son here either.
He asked, “Came here to socialize?”
Rex replied, “Yes.”
Quaid smiled and said, “Reed, is this your son?”
Reed smiled, “Yes.”
“A talented young man, very impressive.”
Rex, naturally, knew who Quaid, Ryan, and the others were.
He also knew that his father had a good rtionship with them.
But Quaid, Ryan, and Nn were very busy on a daily basis, and even though they were acquainted with his father, he had never actually met them in person.
When Quaid actively greeted him, Rex politely shook his hand and said, “You tter me.”
As he spoke, he noticed Julia and Logan getting out of the car.
He paused for a moment.
Logan and Julia also froze when they saw Rex, Nn, Ryan, and the others.
It was rare to see any of Nn and Ryan on a normal day, let alone having all of them gathered together
here.
Naturally, they also noticed Maggie and Johnny.
Johnny was a student of Nn.
Now that Cole was doing so well, he could be considered a source of pride for Nn. It was normal for Nn to introduce some of his contacts to him.

Like Rex, they all assumed that Maggie must have met Nn and Ryan through Johnny’s connections.
But honestly, whether through someone else’s connections or not, being able to meet Ryan and Nn was a great honor in itself.
They had heard about Nn’s deep connections before.
Now, after seeing how many top–tier big shots he knew, they realized just how powerful Nn’swork truly was!
Besides that, they also recognized Jordan and Reed.
Julia knew that they were Jimmy and Rex’s fathers.
When Rex looked over at them, Julia gave a polite smile and nodded.
Noticing Rex’s gaze, Reed followed his gaze.
He didn’t know or recognize Julia and Logan. Seeing that Rex seemed to care, he asked, “Do you know
them?”
Rex replied, “Yes.”
Julia and Logan came over.
When they saw them approach, Johnny almost rolled his eyes.
Maggie’s expression remained unchanged.
Rex introduced, “This is Julia, the daughter of Logan Brown, the CEO of the Brown Group.”
Reed’s attitude was a bit different when he looked at Julia.
Reed raised an eyebrow. He noticed that Julia was not only stunningly beautiful but also had great
presence.
He felt that Rex had good taste. Since Rex had actively introduced her, he courteously greeted both Logan and Julia and shook their hands.
Jordan had met Julia before and knew she was Franklin’s girlfriend.
When Julia walked over, he nced at Maggie.

Although Maggie had no obvious expression on his face, Jordan could tell that when Maggie saw Logan and Julia, his expression immediately turned cold.
Although he knew that she had been married to Franklin, he wasn’t sure about the specifics of their rtionship or why they had divorced.
Seeing her cold reaction upon seeing Julia, Jordan immediately had a guess.
After Julia greeted Reed, she turned to Nn and politely said, “Mr. Nn.”
Nn nodded coldly but didn’t speak.
Earlier, Franklin had mentioned that Nn was cold to everyone and that it wasn’t specifically directed
at her,
Therefore, Julia didn’t take Nn’s coldness personally.
After greeting Nn, Julia then turned and politely greeted Ryan and the others, “Hello, leaders.”
She addressed them as “leaders” without greeting each one individually, which was the more proper approach.
After all, Ryan and the others hadn’t indicated they wanted to be introduced to her, and greeting each of them individually would have been more of an intrusion.
Quaid and Ryan’s attention was primarily focused on Maggie.
They, like Jordan<b>, </b>had noticed that Maggie didn’t seem to like Logan and Julia.
Quaid, in particr, had detailed information about Maggie.
When Julia and Logan first appeared, he had recognized them immediately.
Hearing Julia greet them, Quaid simply nodded and then looked toward Nn and Maggie, saying, “Let’s
not stand here. We should head inside.”
Nn nodded.
The group turned and entered the restaurant.
