"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" This was not the first time that Mr. Xue came to see her.
This time he didn't let Feng Yu lead the way, but went directly to Qiao Nian's small laboratory.
Qiao Nian turned on the faucet, lowered his head and washed his hands seriously, not caring much: "Good news."
When Elder Xue saw her taking out a towel to wipe her hands, he smiled faintly and said, "You can report to the Privy Council in three days."
Qiao Nian threw back the towel she used to wipe her hands, took off her goggles, and revealed her beautiful eyes behind them: "What about the bad news?"
Elder Xue followed her footsteps and walked over: "There are two more people who will enter the Privy Council at the same time as you."
Qiao Nian paused and turned back: "Two?"
not one
She guessed that Ji Zinyin would enter the Privy Council, who was the other one
While the two were talking.
The door of the laboratory was pushed open from the outside. Xu Yi came in from the corridor and was stunned when he saw that there were outsiders in the laboratory.
Elder Xue also noticed him. He half-narrowed his sharp eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, still talking to Qiao Nian: "Well, two. This time, three people will enter the Privy Council. In addition to you, there are two more people going in."
When Xu Yi heard the word "Privy Council", he stopped and looked up and said to the girl tactfully, "I didn't know there was anyone inside."
He glanced at the silver-haired old man and said expressionlessly, "You guys chat slowly. I'll go out and wait for you."
"Xu Yi." Qiao Nian called him.
The handsome young man turned around and looked over in confusion.
Qiao Nian propped up his legs, walked over, and handed him the small notebook next to the computer: "Stay and help me record this."
Then she turned around and said to the silver-haired old man nonchalantly, "If it's convenient, shall we go out and talk?"
The laboratory is a place for experiments. She didn't want this piece of pure land to be involved with the trivial matters outside. She walked in front and put on the baseball cap placed at the door before leaving. She left the laboratory first...
Since she had already gone out, it was not appropriate for the silver-haired old man to stay any longer.
Before he left, he glanced at Xu Yi inconspicuously, with obvious suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and left quickly.
*
Qiao Nian knew last night that Mr. Xue was coming, but she was not familiar with the Independent Island, so she did not take him around.
It was just lunchtime, so Qiao Nian took them to Guanhai Pavilion for lunch.
"You two, private room."
This is Guan Yan's territory. She has become familiar with the manager here. As soon as Qiao Nian arrived, the manager came up to her and asked how many people there were so that he could arrange a place for them.
After Qiao Nian asked for a private room, the manager immediately arranged the private room usually reserved for Guan Yan for her.
The manager personally led the two to the private room, served them tea and poured them water, and his attitude was very attentive and polite.
It was not until Qiao Nian finished ordering the dishes and handed the menu to the silver-haired old man that Mr. Xue symbolically ordered two dishes and put the menu down that the manager politely went out to prepare.
Before leaving, he said, "Miss Qiao, if you have any instructions, just call us and we will come right over."
Mr. Xue watched the man leave, raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl who was sitting cross-legged and looked very relaxed and comfortable: "Do you know the boss here?"
Qiao Nian took a sip of the freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea, which tasted astringent and sweet. She put down the teacup, sat back, her raven-black eyelashes drooping, and said lazily, "Ah, a friend."
