2174 Qiao Nian, Let’s Talk
“Yes.” Ji Xiao nodded with a straight face. His inverted triangular eyes were gloomy. “That’s more or less what he meant. So, after the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Arbitration Alliance came back to their senses, they had strong opinions about us.
“We basically parted on bad terms.”
Ji Xiao was being polite.
When they parted ways in the hotel, the faces of the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Arbitration Alliance turned red with anger. They were obviously very dissatisfied with him and Ji Ziyin.
Ji Xiao looked at the woman in the car and asked, “What do you plan to do next?”
Ji Ziyin grabbed a corner of her clothes and did not speak for a long time. Then, she let go and looked up at Ji Xiao expressionlessly. “Investigate Beijing’s Qin family. I don’t believe they don’t have a backer. Otherwise, Lu Zhi wouldn’t have chosen them.”
“Beijing’s Qin family?” Ji Xiao asked.
Ji Ziyin’s eyes narrowed slightly as if she was thinking about something. “Start investigating Qin Si. He’s also in the independent continent. Someone must have helped him get to know Lu Zhi. I want to know who that person is!”

Qiao Nian still didn’t know that someone had racked their brains to find out about her.
She had stayed in the research institute for the past few days ever since she chatted with Feng Yu. She usually lived a simple life in the research institute and villa.
Occasionally, Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun would call her or ask her to eat at the manor.
They explained to her in private what had happened in the hospital that day. Xie Tingyun also felt guilty. However, the old lady was her biological mother. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could not force her 70-year-old mother to apologize to Qiao Nian in person.
After that day, Qiao Nian clearly met Xie Xinyao less often in the laboratory.
Xie Xinyao seemed to be avoiding her.
However, they were from the same laboratory. Even if Xie Xinyao deliberately avoided her, they would still bump into each other from time to time.
Qiao Nian didn’t care.
Xie Xinyao’s face would always be dark every time she bumped into her. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Monday.
Qiao Nian completed Shi Fu’s task as usual.
She could already come into contact with some simple semiconductor experiments with Shi Fu now. She had a high comprehension of this aspect and moved quickly.
Shi Fu gradually began to teach Qiao Nian some complicated experimental projects step by step after realizing this.
Qiao Nian became busy because of this.
Basically, she was the first to arrive and the last to leave the laboratory.
She stayed in the laboratory the longest, but she rarely participated in the gatherings. She was usually a little more alone. At most, she would talk to the three people from Team 10, or Cao Yanhua and Han Cheng would chat with her.
At first, the people in the Level 8 laboratory were not convinced by her.
Then, over time, everyone realized that Feng Yu had not given Qiao Nian an easy way into the Level 8 laboratory by letting her get in through the back door.
She was really capable!
Qiao Nian had recently participated in several experimental projects that were beautifully done. This way, a small group in the laboratory shut up and stopped talking about her sudden appearance.
At six in the evening.
Qiao Nian changed her clothes and picked up her bag. She then casually put on her baseball cap and lowered the brim.
However, someone blocked her way as she walked out of the laboratory.
“Qiao Nian, let’s talk.”
Silence.
The girl raised her head slightly. Her dark eyes were a little cold and impatient, but she followed the other person.
