Qiao Niancai came in, closed the door, and walked back to the seat he had just left. Her slender white hand rested on the mineral water bottle. She did not answer his question immediately, but turned her head slightly to look at the person beside him.
Ye Wangchuan noticed the girl's gaze and shrugged calmly, a very lazy reaction.
Qiao Nian understood what he didn't say.
She pursed her lips and looked at Qin Si again, frowning, pressing her forehead with a headache, and answered vaguely: "It's just...something."
"What's the matter?" Qin Si's focus was not on this. Without waiting for Qiao Nian to reply, he couldn't wait to ask excitedly: "Sister Qiao, are you hiding something from me?"
Qiao Nian: …
She was wondering whether to explain.
Qin Si's next words immediately dispelled her thoughts.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew Sun? Do you have his WeChat? How did you two know each other? Ask him out to hang out if you have the chance."
Qiao Nian looked at his excited and happy face, her brows twitched, and she swallowed back the words she was about to tell him the truth.
"I guess we know each other."
Without waiting for Qin Si to ask again, she said briefly and arrogantly, putting her hands in her pockets and said lazily: "You didn't ask me."
Qin Si originally wanted to say that she was not nice enough, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Qiao Nian said seemed to make sense. He had indeed not asked before. But now that he knew, he could not hide his happiness and went over to hug her thigh: "Boss, when can you introduce me to Sun?"
Qiao Nian already held the bottle of mineral water in her hand, but before she unscrewed the lid, she looked at him, thought for a moment, and replied, "Next time."
"I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow and wait until I have time next time."
"You're going back tomorrow?" Qin Si was quite disappointed. He had originally wanted to take Qiao Nian to the auction tomorrow to broaden his horizons, but Qiao Nian was leaving. This news diluted his interest in Sun: "You've finally come here, why don't you just play for another day?"
Others looked over as well.
Qiao Nian hummed calmly and explained, "No. I've already finished my work, so there's no need to stay any longer. I should be able to leave tomorrow."
Ye Wangchuan didn't say anything, he just raised his head and asked her: "What time is the flight? I'll take you there."
He will attend an auction tomorrow night, and during the day he will also meet with the forces in the illegal area, mainly Tianchen's people, to discuss cooperation.
But since Qiao Nian wanted to leave, he could compress the time and at least send her to the airport.
Qiao Nian shook his head, not caring: "It's not certain yet. Let's wait for the results of the IT Association to come out. If nothing unexpected happens, we can leave tomorrow afternoon. I will go back with Principal Liang and the others, not alone, so you don't have to see me off."
Ye Wangchuan thought that Liang Conglin, Jiang Li and the others would be there by then, so he didn't insist. He pursed his lips slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Send me a message when you get to Beijing."
"OK."
Qiao Nian agreed readily.
Not long after, she remembered what Qin Si had told her, about the raw materials they were going to buy at the auction.
The girl lowered her black eyelashes, leaned against the table, lowered her head, picked up her phone and slowly sent a message to someone.
*
The next day.
In Liang Lu's research laboratory, she asked her team members to come over at 8:30, but she herself arrived late at nearly 10 o'clock.
She wore a cotton shirt with the top button buttoned up to the collar, and looked very serious and even rigid.
She wore a white coat over her shirt, which didn't match her temperament and looked out of place.
