She helped this time on Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s account. She would be very busy in the future.

The air felt very tense for a full minute.

When Zhou Wei finally took in what she said, her face darkened and she clenched her fists.

Bo Jingxing coughed and smiled. To break the deadlock, he raised his eyes and said, “Sister Qiao, I will bring you to see Master Cheng.”

He wasn’t sure why Zhou Wei suddenly apologized to Qiao Nian. However, it was obvious that she had suffered a loss this time around!

Jiang Li’s sister was such a tough girl!

No wonder Qin Si liked her.

She could be described in a word—cool!

Her style of acting and talking was very cool.

“Okay,” Qiao Nian replied to him. She had one hand in her pocket, and the other pulled down her cap. Her figure was beautiful.

She left Zhou Wei standing there stunned, unable to react for a long time.

The Ninth Branch had a strict access control system.

After pa.s.sing through the iris recognition system, they still had to pa.s.s through the door with fingerprint verification before they could enter the main building.

As soon as they entered the main building, they could feel a tense atmosphere. It was completely different from the atmosphere outside.

The people inside wore white uniforms and held various data-related books. They were busy with their own affairs.

Even when they came in as a large group, the people inside did not seem to notice them. They didn’t look in their direction and did not even raise their heads.

Bo Jingxing led them all the way to a gla.s.s laboratory and stopped. He said, “Sister Qiao, please wait a moment. I’ll let Master Cheng know you are here.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian found a place to sit down. She took out her cell phone and did not bother to look around.

Chen Zhu leaned over and saw her playing a game.

He couldn’t help it and said, “Miss Qiao, aren’t you curious?”

As soon as she entered the game, she received an invitation from Qin Si. Rejecting it, she asked without even lifting her head, “What am I supposed to be curious about?”

“Just curious…” Chen Zhu looked at her silent face and hesitated. “Curious about the Ninth Branch.”

Was Miss Qiao really not curious about the Ninth Branch at all?

The Ninth Branch was considered a unique existence even among the influential families in Beijing. Many people had tried to peek into its internal affairs. Many people were also eager to possess the cutting-edge technology and intelligence developed by the Ninth Branch.

But Miss Qiao didn’t seem to be interested at all.

Qiao Nian listened to him patiently. She then half squinted her eyes and replied lazily. “Oh, I’m not curious.”

Chen Zhu was speechless.

He was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that if Qiao Nian was curious, he could continue to tell her about their research results, such as their iris recognition technology.

But he was at a sudden loss for words at this result.

Gu San didn’t care about him. He took out a bottle of coffee from the cupboard beside him, handed it to Qiao Nian, and whispered, “The Ninth Branch only has coffee. Please compromise and drink some.”

He had followed Master w.a.n.g and Qiao Nian for such a long time that he was already familiar with her preferences. Qiao Nian preferred drinks like mineral water and lemonade as compared to coffee and milk tea.

However, the research inst.i.tute was full of people who stayed up late to engage in scientific research. They were usually busy, and it was normal for them to miss a day of sleep.

They all relied on coffee to refresh their minds.

Therefore, it was easier to find coffee than mineral water here.

Qiao Nian wasn’t picky about what she drank. She took the bottle from him and politely said, “Thank you.”

Gu San’s heart warmed up a little, and his initially tight expression slightly relaxed.. He smiled and said, “You’re welcome.”
