The Ji family’s show this time was quite grand.
Except Ji Zinyin herself.
A few more people came from the Ji family.
He Lin was present.
In addition, Ji Hongyuan, the head of the Ji family's Punishment Hall, who is known as the Ji family's "stabilizing force", was also present.
Ji Xiao can only be considered a junior in such occasions.
Ji Hongyuan sat on the chair, so he could only stand aside and didn't even have the right to sit.
The people from the institute made tea for each of them.
Ji Hongyuan sat there drinking tea slowly and leisurely, occasionally chatting with Ji Zinyin.
Ji Zinyin had always wanted to curry favor with Ji Hongyuan, and her attitude towards Ji Hongyuan was extremely cautious and flattered.
Basically, she answered whatever Ji Hongyuan asked her and behaved very well.
There is no sign at all of the Ji family's eldest daughter's majestic and impressive appearance outside.
Apart from occasionally speaking to her, Ji Hongyuan mainly talked to the heads of several major laboratories in the institute.
Not many people came this time.
The head of the Level 8 laboratory still hasn't arrived.
The most senior person in the institute was not present either.
But all the heads of level 1-7 laboratories are here.
Gu Hengbo was also among them.
He was wearing a navy blue wool sweater today, his hair was combed meticulously, and he had a square face, looking unapproachable.
He chatted more with Ji Hongyuan.
The two seemed to be old acquaintances.
"Isn't that new guy here yet?" Gu Hengbo put down the thermos in his hand, raised his eyelids, and suddenly asked.
The head of the Level 2 laboratory said, "Zhou Zhou went to look for her. He should be back soon, right?"
Zhou Zhou and Qiao Nian walked in one after another.
As soon as Ji Hongyuan saw the girl coming in, his aura suddenly changed. He ignored Ji Zinyin and his cloudy tiger eyes were completely focused on the girl.
He Lin also kept an eye on the people coming in.
Qiao Nian walked in without looking around, but he didn't even glance at them.
This made Ji Hongyuan's expression change slightly, and his brows furrowed. He was almost annoyed by the girl's lazy attitude again.
He Lin was the one who reacted quickly. He quickly filled his cup with some water and handed it to him: "Sixth Elder, have some tea."
Ji Hongyuan finally came to his senses. His face was grim and he picked up the teacup and drank his tea without saying a word.
"Qiao Nian, how did you come up with the 'super algorithm' that you worked on for the group exam in December? Did you come up with this idea yourself, or did you see a similar idea somewhere else?" Gu Hengbo took the lead and asked seriously without beating around the bush.
His attitude was more like an interrogation than a question, and his tone was firm, as if he was determined to get an explanation.
Zhou Zhou frowned unhappily.
All eyes were on the girl, and everyone was waiting for her answer.
The girl wasn't wearing a hat today, so they could see more clearly the outstanding appearance of this new recruit to the institute.
A face like this certainly doesn't look like someone who can concentrate on research.
No wonder this happened.
"I thought of it myself."
The voice is clear and unruly.
"What did you think?" Gu Hengbo asked again nonchalantly, "You don't have to answer me in a hurry. Think about it carefully and decide what to say."
Qiao Nian didn't appreciate it. He looked at him casually, his hands behind his back, and said, "No need. I came up with the algorithm myself and then did an experiment to verify it."
Gu Hengbo laughed in anger, and seemed too lazy to argue with a newcomer like her. He said "hmm", turned around and said to Ji Ziyin beside him: "You go ahead and talk."
