2450 Qiao Nian, We Don’t Have a Conflict of Interest
Qiao Nian wasn’t too familiar with her, but they weren’t exactly strangers. She lowered her eyes and nodded in agreement.
She was pulled into a group.
Tang Ning had set up a three-person game.
There were two of them, so Tang Ning pulled in another friend and introduced him to her.
Qiao Nian was outside, so she typed a message saying that it was not convenient for her to turn on the voice chat.
Tang Ning had been around Zhang Yang for a long time and had learned most of his characteristics. She immediately said that it was fine and they could play this round.
Seeing that she didn’t mind, Qiao Nian continued to play with them.
The game was over.
Qiao Nian looked at the time. It was exactly 3:00 PM. She informed Tang Ning she was leaving and then went offline.
She placed her phone on the table and picked up the glass of tea with her cold white hand. After taking a sip, she looked up and saw a familiar figure walking into the restaurant.
“Qiao Nian, long time no see.”
Ji Ziyin was wearing a light yellow dress today, looking dignified and capable. She looked good, much better than when she was down and out.
Confidence filled her eyes. She pulled out a chair and sat down, then called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee.
Then, she placed her handbag beside her and took the initiative to say, “I didn’t expect you to be here so early.”
However, Qiao Nian had already stood up and said impatiently, “Oh, I wouldn’t have come if I knew it was you.”
“Take your time.”
She was about to leave.
Ji Ziyin’s expression changed slightly and she tried to stop her. “Qiao Nian, I have something to talk to you about.”
“I’m not free.” Not giving her face, the girl picked up her shoulder bag and was about to leave.
Ji Ziyin could not hold it in anymore. Not caring about her image, she stood in front of the girl, restrained her arrogance, and pursed her lips. “I’m serious. Qiao Nian, I hope we can cooperate and succeed together!”
The girl stuffed her hands into her pockets and narrowed her eyes as if she were amused. There was a rare lack of sharpness in her eyes.
Ji Ziyin heaved a sigh of relief and her expression softened. She smiled. “I have a laboratory now. I hope you can join us. The condition is that you help me complete a few projects. Of course, there are benefits…”
“What are the benefits?” Qiao Nian could roughly guess what the benefits were.
Ji Ziyin narrowed her eyes confidently. “I can introduce you to someone from the reclusive families.”
As expected…
Qiao Nian was not surprised. She turned to leave.
Ji Ziyin did not expect her to be indifferent even when the reclusive families were brought up.
She didn’t know if Qiao Nian was pretending not to care or if she really didn’t care. Taking a step forward and standing in front of the girl again, she gritted her teeth and bluntly said, “Martin, who is on good terms with the dean, has been recalled… Now, the reclusive families’ outside matters are under Elder Yu’s control. You won’t be able to meet him if not through me!”
Qiao Nian clicked her tongue and raised her eyebrows. “I won’t be able to meet him if I don’t go through you?”
Ji Ziyin ignored her and continued, “You should have heard about the reclusive families’ strength from the dean. In the future, the research institute will also have to rely on their support… It’s good for you to build a good relationship with Elder Yu now.
“I hope we can work together.
“Aren’t you unwilling to return to the Ji family? I want them and you want the research institute. We don’t have a conflict of interest. There’s no need to treat each other as enemies.”
Her words were reasonable and every sentence was filled with temptation.
It seemed like she had thought about it for a long time before coming to her.
