2129 What a Coincidence, It’s Also Wednesday
In particular, the members of the team that took in Qiao Nian were all chosen by the person in charge of the Level 8 laboratory.
The newcomers to the First Research Institute were extremely envious of them.
What Gu Hengbo said to Ji Ziyin was also what many of the rookie teams thought.
If they had known that a newcomer without a background could be so heaven-defying, they wouldn’t have been afraid of offending Ji Ziyin and ostracized and neglected Qiao Nian.
If Qiao Nian joined their group, they might have taken off like Xu Yi and the others.
“Let’s go over and greet them.” Gu Hengbo lowered his eyes and said to Ji Ziyin before walking over when he saw Zhou Zhou.
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath and followed him.
The research institute was only so big.
The two sides bumped into each other again.
Gu Hengbo had only taken a few steps when he arrived in front of the two of them. He was very calm and reserved as he spoke first. “Leader Zhou, what a coincidence.”
Zhou Zhou was still waiting for Qiao Nian’s phone call to end. Looking over and seeing Gu Hengbo, Ji Ziyin, and the others, she replied distractedly, “We’re all from the research institute. It’s not too much of a coincidence to meet here, right?”
The implied meaning was that she was unwilling to build a good relationship with them.
Gu Hengbo took a deep breath after being rebuked by her. He looked at Qiao Nian, who was on the phone, and said slowly, “By the way, I haven’t congratulated Team Leader Zhou for nurturing a good student. I heard that she entered the Level 8 laboratory?”
Zhou Zhou glanced at him with his slender peach-blossom eyes and smiled. “I’m happy for my student. It’s better than some people who can’t climb up no matter what they do, right? Team Leader Gu, don’t you think so?”
Everyone in the First Research Institute knew that Qiao Nian was only an in-name member of the Level 3 laboratory. She wasn’t considered Zhou Zhou’s student.
Gu Hengbo insisted on saying something like “student”. Obviously, he wanted to disgust Zhou Zhou and sow discord between the two of them.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Qiao Nian and Zhou Zhou didn’t have any teacher-student relationship. They had been online friends for many years. It wasn’t easy for him to sow discord between them with just a few words.
Coupled with Zhou Zhou’s eloquence, she retorted with a few words, clearly saying that Ji Ziyin couldn’t enter the Level 8 laboratory even if she wanted to, slapping both of them in the face.
Sure enough, Gu Hengbo’s face turned green.
At this moment, Qiao Nian finished her call and walked back. She saw Gu Hengbo and Ji Ziyin, but she didn’t care about their existence. She said calmly to Zhou Zhou, “I asked. I can bring friends. Let’s go together on Wednesday.”
Zhou Zhou was originally disgusted by Gu Hengbo and wanted to continue to disgust him. However, she immediately smiled at the good news. “Alright, I’ll prepare a gift for you.”
Qiao Nian pulled down her baseball cap. “We’re just having a private meal. You don’t have to prepare a gift.”
However, Zhou Zhou held her hand and insisted. “The… Indigo Collar has already prepared a gift for you. How can I go empty-handed? Don’t worry, I’ll just prepare a small gift. It’s not expensive.”
Although she said that it wasn’t expensive, she was already calculating what gift to bring.
Qiao Nian couldn’t win against her. She put her phone back in her pocket and prepared to go to the laboratory.
Ji Ziyin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly called out, “Qiao Nian, you said you’re doing something on Wednesday? Where?”
Wednesday was a sensitive day.
Recently, the independent continent had been spreading rumors that Xie Tingyun was going to accept a goddaughter. The date was set for this Wednesday.
