"I heard before that the Nan family also participated in the assessment of the First Research Institute this time, but the news of the nominees was kept secret. I didn't expect it to be true... The Nan family really sent someone to participate in the assessment this year."
Ji Xiao was originally calling Ji Zinyin. He didn't get through just now, but later he heard that Qiao Nian wanted to join the research institute in the future and tried to call Ji Zinyin again. Before the call was even connected, he heard noisy discussions in the lounge.
Nan Family?!
Qiao Nian is representing the Nan family to participate in this year's First Research Institute assessment? !
Ji Xiao's hands trembled.
Just at this moment, the call was connected, and Ji Ziyin's somewhat unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"
Ji Xiao opened his mouth, but couldn't even say a word.
They had previously thought that Ji Hongfeng's entry into the First Research Institute was more important, so they used various connections and even approached the Red Alliance to investigate the person nominated by the Nan family. Because of this, they temporarily had no energy to investigate why Qiao Nian came to the Independent Continent.
Who would have thought that after investigating for half a month, the person they had been looking for turned out to be the same person they wanted to investigate in the first place!
Ji Xiao looked at the people at the registration desk with a confused heart, his throat dry: "I do have something to tell you..."
He didn't care about Ji Hongfeng beside him, and hurried out of the registration and rest area with his phone in his hand.
…
Qiao Nian left as soon as he registered.
Zhou Zhou also came out for a short while as she had to go back to the research institute. She only chatted briefly with the girl at the door, and before she could say more, her cell phone rang.
Zhou Zhou took out her phone and looked down. It was a call from a member of the Level 3 laboratory. She didn't answer it, but raised her phone and said to Qiao Nian with a slightly raised brow, "Darling, I have to go back."
"kindness."
Qiao Nian had no objection.
Zhou Zhou looked at the Land Rover parked not far outside the institute, then retracted his gaze and when he looked at the girl again, he raised his red lips and said with a hint of teasing, "Let your boyfriend treat me to a meal someday. We have known each other for so many years, and I said I would introduce you to the high-quality young man around me, but he got you first. It is reasonable for him to treat me to a meal, otherwise I will not recognize him as my brother-in-law!"
She said she didn't recognize him, but it was just words, taking advantage of the verbal attack. In fact, whether she recognized this "brother-in-law" or not depended on Qiao Nian's opinion.
If Qiao Nian likes someone, she will accept him even if he is not sensible.
She was just joking when she said she wouldn't acknowledge him unless I treated her to a meal.
Who knew that the girl reached out and pulled down her cap, revealing a delicate and eye-catching face, with a serious expression on her face: "Well, I'll let him treat us some other day."
Zhou Zhou: “…”
She was only stunned for a moment, then realized that Qiao Nian was serious. She then understood what was going on. It seemed that the man held a high position in Qiao Nian's heart, and at least he was not just playing around.
At this time Zhou Zhou's cell phone rang again. She took a look and saw that it was still someone from the research institute calling. However, this time it was not someone from their Level 3 laboratory, but someone from the research institute who she had only met a few times and had an average relationship with.
She probably knew why these people were looking for her, most likely because of the sensation that Sun caused at the registration office.
Zhou Zhou nodded slightly, reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder. He didn't say these words to her, but only said: "I'm almost going back. Tell me when you get to your place. You should prepare for the exam well in the next few days. I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay." Qiao Nian's eyes were casual, and he spoke concisely as always.
