"By the way, have you contacted the person I asked you to contact?" Nie Qingru pulled himself out of his emotions at that moment.
Shadow followed suit and lowered his head: "Ms. Elena is not on the island."
Nie Qingru couldn't hide her disappointment on her face: "How could it be such a coincidence?"
Shadow said, "Ever since the news of the Ten Elders' marriage with the Irene family spread, not only on the island, but also many outside forces have wanted to curry favor with them."
"This way, more people will come to see Miss Irene."
"It may be because of this reason that Miss Elena should have finished her studies abroad and returned to the island a few days ago, but she did not go back. She chose to go home with her classmates and visit their homes."
Nie Qingru pressed his brows and suppressed the irritability in his eyes: "When can she go back?"
Shadow stared at his toes: "I don't know about this. The people on the island didn't tell me. They only said that they would go home when Miss Elena had enough fun."
Nie Qingru was suddenly speechless.
The two of them stared at each other in silence for half a minute.
Just as Nie Qingru had calmed down and was ready to go to the company.
Shadow suddenly received a call.
After he finished the call, he quickly stopped Nie Qingru who was about to get on the car, his face solemn and anxious: "Queen, something happened."
…
Privy Council.
Nie Qingru walked with quick steps straight to the outside of the conservative Mr. Xue's lounge.
"Female, hello, Ms. Nie."
There was someone guarding the door outside the conservative camp. When he saw Nie Qingru rushing over, he quickly stopped her outside. He almost blurted out calling her "queen", but changed his words in time.
"Mr. Xue is discussing something with the Archbishop. Please wait a moment..."
"I can't wait!"
Nie Qingru ignored the obstruction, walked past the people blocking the way, raised his hand and pushed the door open with a bang.
"Ms. Nie."
"Ms. Nie." The person behind reached out to stop her.
He was pulled by the shadow following Nie Qingru and became entangled with him.
Nie Qingru went in smoothly.
The two people who were talking inside immediately stopped talking and looked towards the direction of the noisy sound at the door, and bumped into Nie Qingru who came in.
The archbishop in the red robe immediately stood up and looked back with a smile at the old man in green who was sitting there.
He sneered and said, "Mr. Xue said earlier that he had an appointment with other guests today, so I won't keep you for so long."
The old man in green had a sullen face and dark eyes, but he did not open his mouth to refute.
Quentin picked up the documents on the table and said calmly, "Since you have other guests, I'll leave first. We can talk next time if we have a chance."
As he spoke, he didn't even glance at Nie Qingru who came in, he just brushed past Nie Qingru and left the room...
Quentin's arrogant attitude of disregard.
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Nie Qingru.
Nie Qingru gritted her teeth for a moment, turned around, and stared at the man's leaving back with a vicious look in her eyes.
But soon.
She forced herself to suppress the anger surging in her heart, pinched her palms, turned her neck stiffly, and continued to walk towards the people who were still inside.
When Mr. Xue saw her coming in, he stood up to get some water to make a cup of tea, put it on the seat opposite him, and spoke first: "What do you want to see me about?"
Nie Qingru is no longer the queen of the secluded family.
On the same level as him.
Out of respect for her contributions and sacrifices for the hermit family, Mr. Xue is still willing to place her in a higher position than himself.
The burning pain in Nie Qingru's heart finally eased. He picked up the tea, took a sip, put the cup down, and said hurriedly: "I want your help."
