2324 Nian Nian, Do You Want to Enter the First Research Institute?
Qin Si’s heart was stabbed and he could no longer smile.
Ye Lan sized him up and sighed. She patted his shoulder, comforting him. “… Unrequited love! Don’t be too sad.”
Qin Si’s heart was stabbed again. He had internal injuries now.

Qiao Nian booked a private room in the Mountain Sea Pavilion.
They toasted each other and ate.
Old Master Ye ate a lot. In a good mood today, he even made an exception to drink two mouthfuls of wine. He looked radiant.
Qiao Nian sat on his left. She ate quite a bit too.
Old Master Ye told Ye Wangchuan about the family’s business in the independent continent. He did not hide it from Qiao Nian, Qin Si, and the others and spoke for a long time.
Ye Wangchuan replied to him and the two of them stopped talking after a while.
Old Master Ye turned his head to the girl who had not spoken much the entire night. She listened to their conversation quietly and ate with her head lowered.
He hesitated for a moment before putting down his chopsticks and asking, “Nian Nian, do… do you want to enter the First Research Institute?”
On the other end, Ye Lan was chatting with Qin Si, asking about the name of the girl he liked, where she lived, and what her parents did for a living…
But she stopped and looked in the girl’s direction when the Old Master asked Qiao Nian if she wanted to enter the First Research Institute.
Overwrought by the torrent of questions, Qin Si was suddenly saved.
Everyone in the room paid attention to Old Master Ye and Qiao Nian.
Old Master Ye ignored their gazes and only focused on the girl. With a benevolent expression, he said gently, “If you want to enter the First Research Institute, I’ll help you think of a way. It’s just that… it might take some time. Nian Nian, tell Grandpa Ye if you want to enter the research institute.”
Old Master Ye’s connections were extremely powerful, so he naturally had more than just Liao Quan as a connection.
However, he was unwilling to contact some people.
To him, it would be good for the Ye family if he did not touch these connections.
However, Ye Maoshan’s heart ached for Qiao Nian. He decided that as long as Qiao Nian wanted to enter the First Research Institute, he would beg those old friends even if he had to sacrifice his old face.
Not expecting this question, Qiao Nian looked at Old Master Ye in shock.
However, Old Master Ye thought that she was embarrassed and was about to ask her again when Ye Wangchuan interrupted him. “Grandpa, finish eating first.”
Ye Maoshan frowned slightly and grew unhappy. “I’m talking to Nian Nian. Don’t interrupt. You don’t know…”
Ye Wangchuan picked up a piece of pork ribs for him and placed it in his bowl. His eyes were picturesque. “Let’s eat.”
Qiao Nian finally reacted. She coughed awkwardly and put down her chopsticks. She touched the tip of her nose, still thinking about how to explain it to the old master.
Old Master Ye looked around and felt that he had missed out on some important details. Seeing that Ye Wangchuan did not let him continue, he was silent for a moment before slowly picking up his chopsticks again and lowering his head to eat.
Qin Si and Gu San looked at each other, revealing complicated expressions.
… It seemed like Elder Ye didn’t know that Sister Qiao had already entered the First Research Institute and was the future successor chosen by Feng Yu.
This was a big misunderstanding.

Old Master Ye and the others had previously planned to stay in the Intercontinental Hotel and had booked two penthouse suites in advance.
After Ye Wangchuan found out, he called Mo Xi. The latter quickly arrived and arranged a private residence not far from Qiao Nian’s villa for Old Master Ye and Ye Lan.
