After being rejected twice in a row, Cao Yanhua was too embarrassed to invite him again, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, maybe next time."
"kindness."
The girl responded, and then glanced at Ji Ziyin standing there. There was not much ripple on her face. She pulled the shoulder strap on her shoulder and said to the two of them, "Senior Brother Cao, you go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you. I'm leaving now."
"How about I take you out?" Cao Yanhua still felt guilty about what happened during the day, so he offered.
However, Qiao Nian declined: "Really, no need, you guys chat."
After she finished speaking, she walked away first.
As soon as she left, Xue Zhu, Xu Yi and Shen Qingfeng also said goodbye to Cao Yanhua one after another.
And the three of them, like Qiao Nian, acted as if they didn't see Ji Zinyin. They didn't even say a polite hello and just left.
Ji Ziyin endured it again and again, and her expression changed somewhat.
However, she was very good at being patient and would not show her emotions on her face. After everyone left, she asked casually, "Senior Brother Cao, do you have an appointment tonight?"
Cao Yanhua didn't expect that the newcomers would be so stubborn. After watching the four people leave, he looked away, scratched his head, and answered her awkwardly, "No."
"I asked Qiao Nian and the others to have dinner with me. I was going to host a welcome party for them. It was their first day in the Level 8 lab, but she had an appointment with someone else today, so I had to give up."
He spoke briefly, without mentioning what happened during the day, nor did he say that he was careless and left the people from Group 10 in the lounge for the whole day without taking care of them.
When Ji Ziyin heard that Cao Yanhua was going to hold a welcoming banquet for Qiao Nian and the others, she couldn't hold back her smile.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and chuckled again, whispering: "That's such a pity."
She didn't know who Qiao Nian was going to have dinner with that night, she just thought that the other party was a little too stupid! People in the Level 8 laboratory were not so easy to approach. So far, she only knew Cao Yanhua and Xie Xinyao, and it was difficult for her to break into the small circle of the Level 8 laboratory.
Cao Yanhua specially organized a party and gave Qiao Nian this opportunity, but Qiao Nian didn't know how to cherish it and even went to have dinner with a stranger.
Absolutely ridiculous!
When Ji Ziyi thought about this, she felt a little better.
Cao Yanhua didn't see her little thoughts. He looked at the direction where Qiao Nian and the others left with some regret, sighed and said, "Yes, although they are not members of the Level 8 Laboratory, I am optimistic about these newcomers. Especially the girl named Qiao Nian among them. I think she has good talent. If there is a chance, I still want to help her."
The smile on Ji Ziyin's lips froze instantly. She barely managed to pull it off and said stiffly, "Well, she does have some talent."

the other side.
After Qiao Nian and the others left the Level 8 laboratory, they returned to the small laboratory to put their things away.
Shen Qingfeng put his things away first, turned around, smiled, and took the initiative to invite: "Since we are not having dinner with Senior Brother Cao and the others, how about we go have dinner alone? I'll treat you."
Xue Zhu also put the things he brought on the table and responded positively: "Okay, I have no objection."
She turned her head and asked Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, what about you?"
Xu Yi seemed to be in low spirits and shook his head: "I won't go."
"Oh." Xue Zhu was used to his unsociability and didn't force him. She nodded and looked in Qiao Nian's direction expectantly: "Qiao Nian, do you have time? Let's go have a meal together."
Qiao Nian just picked up the phone, and it vibrated at that moment. It was an unread message in the software with a red symbol...
