Chapter 1589 - 1589 One Second in Heaven, The Next Second in Hell

1589 One Second in Heaven, The Next Second in Hell

Qiao Nian smiled upon seeing her nervous expression, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Her voice was emotionless as she asked lazily, “Who is it?”

“The quality of the new members of the Pharmacy Association this year isn’t very good. It used to be better in the past. We just got the most decent one among them. You’ve heard the name before, it’s the one that I mentioned to you before—that the newcomer who asked if you had the time to bring her along, Jiang Xianrou.”

Zhong Yiliu had always been straightforward with her. He didn’t have any scruples and only said a few more words.

“She’s the one chosen this year.

“Speaking of which, she also came from Qing University, just like you. I thought about that too. I wanted to nurture a few more talents for your country. I only gave her this spot when Robert mentioned it to me.

“Jiang Xianrou is a newcomer with a certain level of ambition. It’s a pity that she didn’t spend all her time on academics. Her talent is only so-so. She definitely can’t compare to you.”

Zhong Yiliu spoke intuitively.

There was nothing tactful about it.

After all, Jiang Xianrou was just an ordinary member of the Pharmacy Association. As the president, there was no need for him to be tactful when commenting on a new member.

It was Jiang Xianrou’s honor that he could remember her as one of the new members this year!

At this moment, this honor did not make Jiang Xianrou happy.

Because what Zhong Yiliu said to Qiao Nian after that was too harsh, she felt a little embarrassed.

Even so, Jiang Xianrou couldn’t suppress her joy when she heard with her own ears that the Pharmacist Association was going to give her a spot to go to the Independent Continent this year.

However, in the next second, Qiao Nian made her fall from heaven to hell.

“Change it to someone else.”

Zhong Yiliu was confused. “Who? Are you going?”

Jiang Xianrou immediately stared fixedly at the girl.

Zhong Yiliu was still talking. “Of course, it’s best if you go, but I believe you won’t.”

Qiao Nian smiled as well. She said lazily, “I’m not going, but anyone can go. As long as it isn’t Jiang Xianrou, anyone will do.”

“Did she offend you?” Zhong Yiliu asked curiously.

Qiao Nian admitted frankly, “Yes, she did. She offended me quite badly.”

“Oh, I see.”

Zhong Yiliu was only asking out of curiosity. After all, he knew Qiao Nian’s personality well. She wasn’t easy to offend.

He was just wondering how this new member of his association had the ability to offend Qiao Nian.

However, he wasn’t particularly interested in anything other than drug research. After a simple question and hearing the answer, he let it go. “Alright, I’ll change to someone else.

“…I originally wanted to give her a chance on your account. Since she offended you, forget it. Anyway, there’s still some time before we go to the Independent Continent. I’ll get my subordinates to choose another one.”

Qiao Nian thanked him and hung up.

The Jiang family was silent.

No one spoke.

Tang Wanru’s face turned green.

Jiang Xianrou’s expression was no longer just ugly. It was as if she had fallen into the water. Her face and lips were pale. Her entire body was trembling, and she looked at Qiao Nian as if she could eat her.

“Qiao Nian, what are you doing!”

Jiang Xianrou’s voice trembled as she tried her best to calm herself down. However, under such circumstances, she even wanted to scream hysterically.

She might have felt better if she hadn’t known at the beginning that she was the one who was supposed to be the representative of the Pharmacy Association.

However, when she heard that she had been chosen and had just watched helplessly as the opportunity slipped away… This kind of extreme psychological blow almost crushed Jiang Xianrou.
