at the same time.
Ji Xiao and his companions had already arrived at the Privy Council.
The Privy Council is divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court.
The outer courtyard is more of a reception and leisure area, so its architectural style is very postmodern and very majestic.
The black buildings give people a sense of solemnity and inviolability. The buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and people can't help but lower their voices when they get close to them.
Ji Ziyan was waiting for them outside.
As soon as Ji Xiao and his friends' car arrived, she walked over and opened the door for them: "How is it? Is there no traffic jam on the road?"
Ji Xiao got out of the car first and said familiarly, "No, the journey was smooth and the driver drove very steadily."
"That's good." Ji Ziyin smiled.
Just then, Liao Quan and the others came down.
The driver also got out of the car and said politely to Ji Ziyin: "Miss Ji, I'll leave first then?"
His attitude was a little more polite than the one he showed to Simon and the others, but it was just politeness, not really respectful.
Ji Ziyin didn't think anything was wrong and looked very happy: "Thank Mr. Lei for me."
She was so polite to a driver. Liao Quan looked at her with admiration, pursed his lips, and felt that he had chosen the right person.
The driver agreed, turned around and got in the car. Without saying hello to Simon and the others, he drove away.
Ji Ziyin looked at the exhaust of the car as the driver left without looking back. Her eyes turned cold for a second, but she was good at disguising herself and quickly put on the same mask again. She turned to Simon and the others and said, "President Simon, I'll take you in."
"Um."
Simon suffered a lot along the way, including when he saw that the driver called by Ji Zinyin ignored him in the end. He became more aware that Ji Zinyin might not be as valued by the hidden family as he said, so he pursed his lips and nodded lightly.
"Thank you, Miss Ji."
How could Ji Ziyin not feel the distance Simon deliberately kept from her? Her eyes turned even colder, but she still had a smile on her face: "We are all friends. President Simon doesn't have to be so polite to me."
Without waiting for Simon to answer, she immediately turned to the others and said, "Okay, let's go in. I'll give you a good tour."
Lu Yiming kept one hand in his pocket the whole time, with a very casual attitude and didn't talk much. He followed her when she said she would go in.
Liao Quan followed Ji Ziyin in and remembered something: "By the way, Miss Ji, I saw Xu Yi in the hotel this morning."
He was just forcing a topic.
"Didn't you say you saw him at the airport yesterday? You must be right. That person was Xu Yi. He also came to Continent M."
Ji Ziyin was walking in front, in a pretty good mood, but when she heard this, her expression suddenly became tense, and she immediately frowned and looked at him: "Xu Yi? He..."
She wanted to ask: Could it be that Qiao Nian invited him here
Ji Xiao knew that she cared about Qiao Nian, so he immediately intervened and smoothed things over: "No, I saw them too. I don't think they were going to come to the Privy Council. I guess the institute has a meeting to be held here, and it's just a coincidence."
"… "
Ji Ziyin withdrew her gaze, still feeling doubtful and annoyed.
But she remembered what Cao Yanhua had said, and she felt relieved: "That should be the case. I asked Senior Brother Cao, and he said Qiao Nian didn't have a ticket."
Without tickets, Qiao Nian couldn't bring the people from the research institute to visit the Privy Council, so what Ji Xiao said was more likely.
