Gu San nodded: "Yes."
He then belatedly asked Mo Dong, "What's wrong with Miss Qiao being Mr. Wang's girlfriend?"
Mo Dong's expression was hard to describe, but as a man, he couldn't do anything like gossiping behind someone's back. He just shook his head with a rather regretful look on his face: "I'm just asking."
He always thought that someone like Wang Ye would definitely look for someone of equal status and someone with whom he could walk shoulder to shoulder.
Who knew that he found a student who was 18 or 19 years old.
Mo Dong didn't say that in his eyes the two of them were somewhat mismatched. An ordinary person like Miss Qiao would probably never understand Wang Ye's world in her entire life, and he didn't know why Wang Ye fell in love with an ordinary student.
The elevator arrived just in time.
Mo Dong shook off the doubts in his mind, said something to Gu San, and left in a hurry.

The next day.
Nie Mi contacted Qiao Nian at 11 o'clock in the morning, saying that the time had been changed temporarily and they had to go to Independent Island a day in advance.
Qiao Nian didn't have much luggage, so it didn't take him long to pack. He arrived at the airport terminal in about an hour.
She came early.
Nie Mi and Liang Conglin haven't arrived yet.
Only a few people from the research institute came, including Jiang Zongjim.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Qiao Nian coming over with only a schoolbag in her hand, he immediately stopped talking to the people around him and went forward to help the girl get her things.
Qiao Nian was used to doing things on her own, so she didn't ask him for help and calmly put the bag on her shoulder.
Jiang Zongjin estimated that her bag was light, and it might not contain many clothes. Then he thought about how his niece always carried a lot of bags when she went out, and he felt guilty. He grabbed a corner of her clothes and couldn't raise his head. "It's all because Daddy is too busy these days. I should have bought you some clothes and helped you prepare your luggage, but I didn't do anything and you often have to worry about me."
He has a lot of things to do in his research institute, and he has to do many of them personally.
Even if he doesn't do it himself, he at least has to be there to direct others. Otherwise, in scientific research, a single screw could cause irreparable losses to the country.
Jiang Zongjim actually always wanted to spend more time with his daughter, but the project was already in progress and he often felt powerless.
In addition, Qiao Nian is the type of person who doesn't need much care, and he always doesn't know how to get along with his daughter... The more Jiang Zongjin thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and he really didn't have the face to see her.
He made up his mind that after finishing the negotiations in the independent state, he would ask for leave from the institute and spend more time with his daughter to go out and have fun.
Jiang Zongjin felt a little less upset when he thought about it. He smiled again and said to Qiao Nian, "It doesn't matter if you don't bring enough clothes. I'll buy some for you when we get to Independence Island."
Qiao Nian only brought one or two sets of clothes for changing and didn't think about buying any more, but she didn't refute Jiang Zongjin's words.
Jiang Zongjin asked again with concern: "Niannian, did you bring your toothbrush?"
"I brought it." The girl's voice was deep, a pleasant one.
Jiang Zongjin looked at the girl's beautiful face, feeling proud, and said to her, "I also brought you a set of toiletries. Oh, and I also asked someone to buy you a set of facial wipes. They are in my suitcase. I'll give them to you when we get there."
He knew that Qiao Nian liked to keep things simple, and Jiang Zongjin had almost never seen Qiao Nian put on makeup.
He didn't know much about how to take care of his daughter, but he had heard his colleagues talk about their daughters before, and mentioned what brands of skin care products their daughters liked to use and what perfumes they liked.
