"explain."
The coffee tasted too bitter.
In order to refresh herself, Qiao Nian drank a cup of American coffee. After taking a sip, she frowned, and her face was even more expressionless as she had not had a good rest for a week.
David saw her put down the cup and said, "I heard that they signed a big contract and accepted the cooperation with Tongsheng Jewelry in M Continent. Now they are even more in need of diamonds."
"?" Qiao Nian's slow brain turned and reacted. He also felt that what David said was a little unbelievable: "Are they sick?"
"Tsk. Who knows?" David complained mercilessly: "No normal person would accept the order at this critical moment."
"They are really brave. They dare to cooperate even though they don't have the raw materials. Are they sure they can get the diamonds?"
Qiao Nian bent his fingers, tapped them on the table, and fell into deep thought.
David continued, "Sun, don't worry. No one in Continent F dares to cooperate with them now. They will never be able to get the raw stones here."
However, everyone knows that only Continent F has the most developed mining industry.
Many high-end rough diamonds are mined here.
For anyone doing jewelry business, losing the supply from Continent F is like losing a major artery. The Nie family is undoubtedly seeking their own destruction.
"Be careful, a cornered dog may jump over the wall." Qiao Nian said lightly.
David showed a look of understanding and said roughly, "As long as they dare to come, this is not Continent M. It's their turn to act recklessly!"
"Hang up." Qiao Nian didn't say anything.
Just then, she saw the experimental data and videos that Master Cheng sent to her via email. Qiao Nian turned off the call on her phone, slid the mouse, and got back to her new work.
Another long all-nighter.
Early in the morning, the alarm clock rang.
She got up from the bed, took a cold shower, brushed her teeth and washed up, looking in the mirror at the bloodshot eyes that could not be hidden.
Qiao Nian put on her sweater and used her cap to hold down her hair, hiding the tiredness in her eyes and the irritability from not getting enough rest. She went out early as usual.
Just arrived at the gate of the First Research Institute.
Qiao Nian picked up her shoulder bag and was about to cross the sidewalk when suddenly a car blocked her way and a middle-aged man got out of the car.
"Just think about it."
When the man gets closer, you can see obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He doesn't look as well maintained as he does when you look from a distance. In fact, you can still tell that he is probably in his sixties.
Judging from his attire, he was very decent, and gave off a sense of dignity and pride. Although he had a smile on his face, the arrogance and sharpness in his bones had not diminished much.
The affability he displayed was more like a mask on his face, extremely hypocritical.
Qiao Nian just glanced at him lightly and walked away from him.
The man was stunned. He probably didn't expect Qiao Nian to ignore him and walk away. Seeing that she was about to leave, he didn't bother to continue pretending. He quickly chased after her and stood in front of the girl again. He reached out to grab the girl's arm: "Niannian..."
In a flash.
Qiao Nian raised his hand to hold his pulse, his face stern, his eyes sharp, and he spat out one word: "Get lost."
Nie Tao was suddenly stunned by her.
Whole body stiffness.
At this moment, Qiao Nian let go of his hand, seeming a little disgusted. He did not put his hands in his pockets immediately, but frowned and was about to leave again.
Nie Tao came all the way here just for her, so how could he let her go? He quickly called out from behind the girl, "Niannian, you should recognize who I am. Can we chat?"
"… "
Qiao Nian didn't even pause, his back was cold and he walked away without even looking back.
