Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a few men in suits were about to rush in.
The leader of the group saw Qiao Nian and stopped in his tracks, then called out to her in surprise, “Miss Qiao? Is that you?”
Qiao Nian and Xu Yi had just walked down the steps. Hearing this, she raised her baseball caD to reveal her beautiful eves and sD0tted Simon in the crowd.
A little taller than 1.8 meters, Simon had the deep contours of a typical Westerner. His facial features were outstanding. He was blond and blue-eyed and looked like an elite.
“It really is you.” Simon walked over quickly with a smile. He sized up Qiao Nian and Xu Yi and immediately understood. “You came here to eat?”
Qiao Nian had interacted with him a few times and had also seen him at Ji Lingfeng’s banquet not long ago.
Hence, she nodded and said politely, “Yes.”
“Why aren’t you guys going in?” Simon asked.
Qiao Nian had yet to answer when he slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, “This is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s place. Wait a moment. I’ll discuss with them and see if I can get you a seat.”
Qiao Nian wanted to decline, but Simon had already informed the waiter and rushed in.
It was not appropriate for her to leave now. Thus, she could only wait for him to return.
Xu Yi looked at her and pursed his lips slightly. He looked inside and waited with her.
In a very private spot in the cafeteria, Old Madam Lu, someone from the Hacker Alliance, and some forces from the independent continent were all there.
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they waited for Simon to arrive.
Among them, Ji Ziyin was the center of attention. Like the stars surrounding the moon, everyone’s topics revolved around her.
Old Madam Lu praised her relentlessly.
Although the others were not as capable, they tried their best to support her and curry favor with her.
Ji Ziyin was wearing a light-colored top today. The collar was tied with pleats, making it look very stylish.
She listened to them the entire time, only occasionally smiling to agree. She was neither arrogant nor impatient and looked shrewd and capable.
Simon’s entrance attracted their attention.
A man with short hair stood up and greeted him, “President Simon, everyone has been waiting for you. You’re finally here. Our Miss Ji has been waiting for you for half an hour.”
Ji Ziyin paid attention to Simon’s att.i.tude. She only smiled and said, “I just arrived not long ago. Anyway, I’m fine.”
Wanting to curry favor with her, The short-haired man immediately smiled and said, “How can that do? We’re here to welcome Miss Ji today.”
He turned to Simon and said, “President Simon, you have to punish yourself by drinking three gla.s.ses to apologize to Miss Ji.”
A trace of displeasure flashed past Simon’s eyes, but he waved his hand with a different expression. “I can’t hold my liquor well. I’ll just punish myself with a gla.s.s. ”
The short-haired man wanted to say something, but Simon did not give him a chance and continued, “Miss Ji, it’s like this. I have something to ask of you.”
He told her about how Qiao Nian had come here to eat, but there were no seats.
Immediately, he discussed it with Ji Ziyin in embarra.s.sment. “Look, we still have so many seats here. Why don’t we give the seats on the outside to Miss Qiao? There are green plants there, so both sides won’t affect each other’s meals.”
This was the Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s territory. He had already given Ji Ziyin enough face by discussing it with her first. Simon thought that this was not a big deal and that Ji Ziyin would not be so petty..
