1979 So, You’re Not Going to Give Me an Explanation?
With a mocking smile, she broke the beautiful dream of everyone in the office who was about to successfully brush this matter aside.
Her voice was three parts mocking and one part cold. Her bottomless eyes stared at everyone in the office one by one.
“So, you’re not going to give me an explanation?”
This sentence successfully silenced everyone.
Even Zhou Zhou did not expect Qiao Nian to be so stubborn!
She silently walked to the girl’s side. Her attitude was obvious—she chose to stand on Qiao Nian’s side!
Too embarrassed to leave, Ji Hongyuan turned around and looked at the girl with an extremely complicated gaze. “What explanation do you want?”
His old face had lost its support because of the passage of time, and its edges seemed to protrude. His aura was very strong.
Ordinary people were already afraid of Ji Hongyuan. How could they raise conditions?
However, Qiao Nian acted as if nothing had happened. Instead, her eyes met his. “She spread rumors and slandered me for no reason, and she doesn’t have to apologize?”
Ji Ziyin’s heart instantly tightened. Reacting quickly, she walked up to the girl and lowered her head to apologize. “Qiao Nian, I’m sorry. I didn’t figure it out properly and caused trouble for you. I’ll definitely figure things out next time.”
Her apology was no different from not apologizing.
It was light.
It had no weight at all.
Ji Hongyuan was very satisfied. He was satisfied that Ji Ziyin reacted quickly and knew what to do to resolve the matter successfully.
He looked at Qiao Nian again with a straight face. His expression was calm as he said, “Are you satisfied now?”
He thought that Qiao Nian would be satisfied!
After all, Ji Ziyin had already lowered her head and apologized.
A smart person knew when to stop. Moreover, Gu Hengbo was also involved in this matter. Even if Qiao Nian did not give the Ji family face, she should give the First Research Institute face.
Who knew…
The girl only walked back and picked up her phone. Then, she turned back under everyone’s gaze, not giving Ji Hongyuan any face. “You mean her apology? I’m not satisfied.”
The veins on Ji Hongyuan’s neck bulged. It was obvious that he was a little angry that she had rebutted him time and time again.
Was she really going against her family?!
Ji Ziyin was now the best in the Ji family’s new generation in the research institute. Her future was limitless.
The Ji family had spent a lot of effort nurturing her.
Even if Ji Ziyin was not a direct descendant, Ji Hongyuan would still choose to protect her for the sake of the family’s interests.
“Qiao Nian, I advise you to think more about everything. Don’t just try to be stubborn.”
These words were a reminder and a threat.
However, Qiao Nian would tolerate anything but threats.
Anyone who knew her personality knew that Qiao Nian was the kind of person who would listen to coaxing but not coercion. Ji Hongyuan’s threat was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
As expected.
The girl’s lips curled up casually. The expression on her exquisite face was surly and ostentatious as she suggested bluntly, “I want her to apologize to me and my team members publicly.”
Ji Ziyin’s expression changed slightly as she quietly clenched her fists.
With her status, apologizing in private was one thing, but apologizing publicly was slapping her in the face.
The Ji family’s status did not allow her to lower her head publicly!
However, Ji Ziyin was very smart. It was one thing for her to be unwilling, but she did not stand up for herself. Instead, she looked at Ji Hongyuan in difficulty.
She made the right bet.
