They all had strange expressions and seemed to be hesitant to speak for a moment, but no one really interrupted him.
Qiao Nian also acted as if she didn't know Lu Zhi. When the silver-haired old man mentioned Lu Zhi to her, she lowered her eyes and listened to him.
Until it was almost what Mr. Xue said.
She replied casually: "I know."
When Mr. Xue saw that it was almost time, he stood up and said goodbye to them.
Ye Wangchuan had not interrupted until now, and now he lazily ordered: "Gu San, go down and send Elder Xue off."
"Okay, Master Wang."
Without Ye Wangchuan saying anything, the tall and straight man immediately bent down and said to the silver-haired old man, "Mr. Xue, let me take you there. Follow me."
Old Xue smoothed the wrinkles on his body, turned around and said to them without delay: "Then you should go to bed early, I won't disturb you."
He left the apartment at the same time as Gu San.
Qin Si waited until the entrance door was closed before turning around and saying to the girl who had stood up to get some water from the refrigerator, "Sister Qiao, do you want to contact Lu Zhi to ask?"
Qiao Nian opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. He leaned over there, standing in a rather gangster-like manner, lowered his eyes and unscrewed the bottle cap. There was no extra expression on his face: "No contact."
Qin Si saw her drink some water and then closed the refrigerator door and walked towards them: "Then you want to find someone yourself?"
"Yeah." Qiao Nian walked back, sat down on the sofa, picked up the phone that had just been thrown on the sofa, and saw an unread text message.
Qin Si was still there saying: "You're going to cause trouble for yourself. Why don't we use this relationship? It would be a waste if we don't use it."
Before he finished speaking, a hand patted his shoulder, lazy and noble; "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
“…” Qin Si’s back stiffened as he remembered.
In some ways, Lu Zhi seems to be a love rival of their Wang Ye. He is trying hard to get Sister Qiao to contact Lu Zhi...
Qin Si immediately shut his mouth. Qiao Nian didn't pay attention to their interaction, his attention was all on the phone screen.
She clicked on the M continent number that she had never seen before.
The other party introduced himself at the beginning.
[Hello Qiao Nian, I am Ji Ziyin, this is my new number. ]
She looked down.
[I am sending you a text message to tell you that I have received the task from the Privy Council. I don't need to explain our relationship, you should know it. Since we all look down on each other, I mean that we should each complete our own tasks. If you complete it, it will be yours, and if I complete it, it will be mine. How about that, no one will suffer any loss? ]
Qiao Nian sighed and looked down again.
Ji Ziyin seemed to be afraid that she would disagree, so she used provocation: [You have two people, and I am only one. You are not afraid to compete with me for this, right? ]
Perhaps the expression on her face was too interesting, even Ye Wangchuan noticed it and came forward: "What's wrong, what are you looking at?"
"Yes, Sister Qiao, why are you smiling so happily." Qin Si noticed Qiao Nian's raised red lips with his sharp eyes.
Qiao Nian showed him her phone and said lazily, "Hey, Ji Ziyin sent me a message, let's do our own things."
Ye Wangchuan knew what Ji Ziyin was up to after reading it, so he returned the phone and said sarcastically, "She is very confident in Lu Zhi."
The information he received showed that Lu Zhi also contributed to Ji Zinyin's entry into the Privy Council this time.
Ji Ziyin was probably so confident because she saw that the task stated that the person was in Lu Zhi's hands, and she first told Qiao Nian that she would not cooperate.
"Will you reply to her?" Ye Wangchuan knew that she would not ask Lu Zhi for help, so he raised his eyebrows and asked her.
Qiao Nian took back his phone and said calmly, "No."
—Idiot!
