The next day.
Early in the morning.
Ji Ziyin arranged for a chauffeur to pick them up.
Liao Quan and Ji Xiao were the first to come down.
Both of them had dressed up meticulously. It was obvious that they were dressed very formally.
After waiting at the door for a while, Ji Xiao frowned in frustration and asked the person beside him, “Has Young Master Lu and the rest not come down
“Not yet.”
Liao Quan had the lowest status among them. He had obtained this opportunity purely by sucking up to Ji Ziyin. Of course, he did not want to offend anyone.
He immediately continued, “Our appointment is at 8:30. It’s only 8:15 now. There’s still 15 minutes to the agreed time. They should be coming down soon. ”
“Yeah.’
Ji Xiao still frowned, his face full of displeasure.
Liao Quan looked into the lobby, hoping to see Lu Yiming and Simon magically appear.
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened, and a group of five came out.
At first, Liao Quan did not pay much attention to them, but he was disappointed that it was not Lu Yiming and the others. Then, right after, he saw their faces clearly from the corner of his eye and was stunned.
“Xu Yi?”
Hearing the name for the second time, Ji Xiao also looked at them. “Who is it?”
This time, Xu Yi did not disappear as quickly as yesterday. Instead, he walked out of the elevator talking to Cao Yanhua and the others while holding his cell phone.
Then, Cao Yanhua and the others nodded, and he walked aside to make a call.
Liao Quan rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. After confirming that he had not seen wrongly, his mind buzzed as if he had lost his soul. “Why are they here?”
Ji Xiao was confused and annoyed. “Who are you talking about? Ziyin mentioned this person yesterday.”
He also saw the young people in the lobby. They stood together and were quite eye-catching, but they obviously did not see them. They were just standing around and chatting…
Ji Xiao frowned again. “Do you know them?”
Liao Quan came back to his senses, but he was still a little confused. “Yes, they’re colleagues from the research inst.i.tute.” People from the First Research Inst.i.tute?
Ji Xiao was also stunned for a second.
Liao Quan was distracted. “…No wonder Miss Ji said she saw Xu Yi yesterday.”
Ji Xiao frowned and looked at the group of people in the lobby. He retracted his gaze disapprovingly. “They might be here to attend some seminar.”
“You think so?”
Liao Quan forced himself to perk up as if he had found a reason to believe him.
Ji Xiao raised his hand indifferently and disdainfully said, “Otherwise, are they going to the Privy Council?”
Liao Quan was silent for a moment.
He felt that there was a possibility…
Although he also felt that this idea was ridiculous, for some reason, he had a feeling that Xu Yi and the others had the same purpose as him this time!
This feeling made him feel like an ant was gnawing on his heart, and he felt uneasy.
He had paid such a huge price and was even expelled from the research inst.i.tute to cozy up to Ji Ziyin. In the end, someone like Xu Yi, who had always stayed in the research inst.i.tute, could obtain the same opportunity as him…
How could he figure it out!
“Do you think they’re going to visit the Privy Council like us?” Ji Xiao saw through him and sneered. “What kind of place do you think the Privy Council is? Can any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry visit it? We only obtained this chance because Ziyin begged Elder Leo.. They? Hmph, you’re thinking too much!”
