Many people in the Privy Council knew that Nie Tao and others had fled to the Independent Island.
When she was the queen, those people would not dare to go up to her and say anything even if they knew.
Things are different today.
She is no longer the queen of a hidden family.
Few of the neutral archbishop's people gave her face, and they always came to her for entertainment. Not long ago, she met Jacob.
The other party asked her with a smile when Nie Tao and the others would return from their vacation in Independent Island.
When Nie Qingru thought of this, his eyes grew heavy and gloomier. He clenched the glass tightly with his fingers and his face looked fierce.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Nie Tao went to Independence Island not for vacation, but for some other purpose...but the other party pretended not to see.
Neutral people have been increasingly disregarding her recently!
Although Nie Qingru was angry that the archbishop did not restrain his men, it did not prevent her from being very angry with Nie Tao and others.
"If they don't reply to your messages, tell them that they never have to come back again!"
"Queen, please calm down."
Shadow looked at her worriedly.
Nie Qingru drank the vodka in his hand, suppressed the fire burning in his chest, stood up and went upstairs: "Tell me the good news as soon as possible."
"Yes." Shadow watched her back as she went up the stairs, until her back disappeared around the corner of the stairs and was completely out of sight.
He tidied himself up and went out to do some work.
…
Two hours later.
He invited people to a members-only coffee shop.
As soon as the other party arrived, Shadow pushed a packed cowhide bag onto the opposite table and said with a smile, "This is the reward from the Queen."
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw the bulging cowhide bag that Shadow pushed in front of him, he showed a surprised and greedy expression.
The man subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the cowhide bag in his arms, but as soon as his hand touched the edge of the bag, he seemed to remember something and spoke hesitantly.
"I will only send you the design and help you fake the email time. For other things, you can't contact me anymore."
He himself is also a well-known designer in the industry, otherwise he would not be qualified to work in APE.
This time he agreed to help, not only for the money, but mainly because he did not want to offend Shadow and the Nie family and Nie Qingru behind Shadow.
But he didn't want to be completely involved, so he only agreed to help with some "small things" and not participate in the follow-up.
Shadow said politely, "Of course."
Then he pushed the cowhide bag in front of the man so that he could reach it easily. "Besides that, I will contact you later about the art school resources I promised to introduce to you."
The middle-aged man's expression completely relaxed, revealing a flattering smile. He immediately put the money into his pocket and said flatteringly, "Please convey my message to the Queen. Thank you, Queen."
"Okay." Shadow was very easy to talk to.
The middle-aged man got the reward he wanted, so he naturally didn't play dumb. He swiftly took out a printed design from his shoulder bag and handed it to Shadow.
“This is the work of the new designer.”
Shadow took it calmly and examined it.
The middle-aged man continued, "I didn't dare forward the email or download the pictures above, as it would easily leave a record. I took these secretly with my phone and then printed them out. Although they are not as clear as those downloaded and printed directly, any designer can see the design details at a glance, and it does not affect the use."
