In the open-air cafe, Zhou Zhou had her long hair draped over her shoulders, with chestnut curls hanging down softly, setting off her fiery red lips and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were particularly charming.
“…Now the grouping results are out. I’m sorry, Sun, I didn’t get a good result for you.” She was talking to the girl sitting opposite her.
The girl was playing with her phone, sitting like a boss, with one hand pressing the screen. When she heard the words, she raised her head. Her face under the brim of her hat was delicate and eye-catching, and she said casually, "It's okay."
Qiao Nian put the phone back on the table, looked up at her, and said, "Really, I don't take it to heart, and you shouldn't take it to heart either."
Seeing that she really didn't take it to heart, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He showed a charming smile on his oval face, reached out and elegantly picked up the coffee cup in front of him. Before drinking, he stopped and asked the girl: "Do you want me to accompany you to report to the institute tomorrow?"
The screen of Qiao Nian's phone, which she had left on the table, lit up. She glanced at the new WeChat message and rested her chin on her hand, answering absentmindedly, "No need. I can go by myself. If you go with me, you'll attract attention. As a newcomer, don't be too conspicuous. You might get targeted."
"Puchi." Zhou Zhou couldn't help laughing. He looked at her with a pair of eyes, suspecting that she was making trouble: "Boss, the result you got in the exam is not eye-catching enough?! I don't think you have ever been afraid. There is still something in this world that you are afraid of... I don't believe it..."
Don't say she doesn't believe it.
She guessed that no one in the Black Mandala believed what Qiao Nian said.
This is such a shameless statement.
A man who founded the two major organizations, Red Alliance and Black Mandala, at a young age, and now he sits here with his legs crossed and tells her that he is afraid of being targeted... Tsk!
Zhou Zhou smacked his lips, feeling a little sad, but he began to tell the girl about some precautions of the institute: "When you report to the institute tomorrow, you will be divided into groups. This grouping is different from grading. This means that you will be divided into several groups. It will be more convenient for you to form a small group to complete some large and complex experiments."
Qiao Nian raised an eyebrow. Obviously, he didn't expect that entering a research institute would be so troublesome. There were assessments and grading. After grading, there were so-called groupings...
She was always afraid of trouble, and her tone seemed a little impatient: "Can I not form groups and do it alone?"
"There is no precedent for a single person to do this in the institute." Zhou Zhou's expression eased, and he said to her in a gentle voice: "All newcomers have this step, it's just a grouping, it won't be too troublesome. It depends on which group you are assigned to. Among the newcomers, the better groups are 1, 3, and 6. The members of these three groups are relatively outstanding among the newcomers. One of the most outstanding groups is led by the Ji family, one of the three major families in the Independent Continent. I don't know if you have heard of it... It's Ji Ziyin, she is also a student of Gu Hengbo, the head of the Level 5 laboratory."
It’s Ji Ziyin again…
Qiao Nian put his hands on the table and said nonchalantly, "I haven't heard of it."
She was not interested in the Ji family, she had never heard of them and didn't want to know!
At this moment, Qiao Nian's phone lit up.
She picked up the phone and hung up.
Then he stood up and said to Zhou Zhou, "We're going to report at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, right?"
"Yes, eight o'clock." Zhou Zhou nodded.
Qiao Nian picked up the bag that she had placed on the chair beside her and said, "Okay, I'll be there at eight tomorrow."
"I have something to do today, so I'm leaving first."
Zhou Zhou didn't have time to ask her out for dinner, so he could only watch Qiao Nian leave the cafe.
