He was very discerning and went into the kitchen to make coffee.
Mr. Wan also had something to do as soon as he came back. Even Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhang came over, but they didn’t come out of the study. It is indeed a world of bosses, and everyone has their own busy things...

Qiao Nian went out at seven o'clock.
She put on a peaked cap and pulled her hoodie up to cover her outstanding face, but it could not hide her striking cold white skin and her generous temperament.
But anyone who knows her will definitely recognize her at a glance.
She went out and took a taxi to Chang'an Street. When she arrived at a private restaurant, she easily sat down by the window.
Within ten minutes, a person whom I hadn’t seen for a long time pulled out the chair opposite and sat down.
“Qiao.”
Sitting opposite her was a young woman in her early twenties. She looked very ordinary, but she had bright eyes and a dashing demeanor.
Qiao Nian asked the boss to come over, ordered a few dishes, and poured himself a glass of water. He looked sharply at the person sitting opposite him, like a primary school student meeting his teacher.
“Is Lu Zhi coming?”
Jian Jin was still overwhelmed by huge shame when he saw her again. He looked at the girl's clear eyes uneasily and pursed his lips: "Boss, he..."
"What is he here for?" Qiao Nian took a sip of water and put down the water glass casually: "Didn't I say that the country is my territory and he is not allowed to set foot on my territory?"
Jian Jin's whole body stiffened, remembering what Qiao Nian had said to Lu Zhi during the previous quarrel in the illegal zone, and how unhappy they had been last time.
She subconsciously looked at the girl's expression, but saw that the girl was just leaning back on the chair with her hands on the side, her expression cold, as if she was just asking.
She relaxed again: "The boss heard about what happened in F Continent and was worried..."
Qiao Nian made big moves in Continent F, and the illegal areas also heard about it.
Especially after Qiao Nian made such a big noise and Nie Qingru died, all forces are waiting to see how the two forces in Continent M and Continent F will fight each other next.
Lu Zhi was in seclusion to treat his disabled legs during this period. He heard about these things when he came out, and immediately brought Jian Jin to the capital.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they landed, a message from Qiao Nian was sent.
Invite her by name.
Jian Jin looked at the girl sitting opposite again, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
They came here with false identities and disguised themselves this time. Normally it would be difficult for the outside world to know their whereabouts, but Qiao Nian figured it out right away.
Thinking of this, Jian Jin took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and said to her with a serious expression: "We found out that there is a force targeting you."
“Huh?” It’s hard to tell from the girl’s expression whether she knows or not.
“That force is not an independent continent, nor an illegal zone, nor a hidden family, but rather like... a place that the boss once mentioned to me.”
Qiao Nian looked at her this time, her dark eyes were very deep, and she said before her: "Island."
Jian Jin was surprised: "How do you know?"
Then she smiled bitterly and raised her hands to cover her eyes: "I have forgotten that you have always been more powerful than us. How could you not know what we all know. It was you who took us away when we were young..."
Probably because of the mention of her childhood, Jian Jin's tight back relaxed inch by inch, and her eyes looking at Qiao Nian returned to their previous intimacy: "I don't know much, I only know that this 'island' does not refer to just an island. It is an ancient family. They have been inherited for countless years. They are similar to the Hidden World family, but more mysterious and powerful than the Hidden World family."
