6:00 P.M.

Qiao Nian bid farewell to Xu Yi and left the research inst.i.tute.

Upon returning to her residence, she realized that Simon had sent her a message at one o’clock, asking if she had found a place to eat.

Then, probably because she did not reply, at three o’clock in the afternoon, he sent her another message telling her that he wanted to invite her to dinner to apologize.

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and swiped the message on the screen with her fair fingers, deleting it.

She went to the dispenser to get water.

Feng Yu called at this time.

Qiao Nian knew why.

She took the gla.s.s of water and returned to the living room to find a comfortable spot. Then, she picked up the call. “h.e.l.lo.”

Feng Yu was in no hurry. “Nian Nian, have you eaten?”

“Not yet.” Qiao Nian glanced at the kitchen. Gu San was still busy inside.

Feng Yu nodded. Then, he couldn’t help himself anymore and asked, “Have you thought about it?”

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and impatiently said, “Can I say that I haven’t?”

Feng Yu panicked. “Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind. Don’t. This is a rare opportunity. Your mentor and I hope you can seize this opportunity.” “Ji Ziyin wants to enter the Privy Council too.” Qiao Nian crossed her arms and leaned back against the sofa.

Feng Yu had long heard of this matter. “Her? It’s useless even if she enters it.” They knew exactly how capable Ji Ziyin was.

With her abilities, she could barely survive in the research inst.i.tute. She would only be set off as trash if she went to a place like the Privy Council.

She was also ambitious.

She would really dare to enter the Privy Council if the reclusive family pushed her.

“She’s not important.” At this moment, Feng Yu’s heart was filled with thoughts of Qiao Nian entering the Privy Council. He was not interested in talking about Ji Ziyin. “The key is you. Whether you’re willing to partic.i.p.ate in this recruitment or not, it’s getting closer and closer. You have to hurry up if you want to partic.i.p.ate.”

Qiao Nian replied after a few seconds. “I’ll do it. Tell the Ji family.”

“Really?!”

Feng Yu was overjoyed and stood up from his office chair. Afraid that she would go back on her word, he gripped his cell phone tightly and said, “I’ll contact Emperor Ji immediately.”

The Privy Council did not recruit new members every year.

The conditions for recruiting newcomers were much harsher than if one wanted to enter the First Research Inst.i.tute. Moreover, they did not recruit new people.

But this year was an accident.

This year, Shadow, the Empress’s right-hand man, went straight to the Privy Council and said the Empress recommended a newcomer.

They had an overnight meeting to discuss this matter.

Because this was the first time the Empress had interfered with the selection of the Privy Council. On one hand, they did not want Ji Ziyin, and on the other hand, no one was willing to offend the Empress.

This matter entered a stalemate. The Privy Council also held a week-long meeting to discuss a solution.

In the round meeting room of the Privy Council.

A few important elders were sitting together engaged in an intense discussion about the recruitment.

One side felt that since the Empress had spoken, they had to give her face.

The other party insisted that the Privy Council was a regulatory body independent of the Empress and should not be manipulated by her will.

Neither side was willing to give in to the other.

The old men and women argued until their faces turned red. No one was willing to give in.

Just as the atmosphere was in a deadlock…

The only person who remained neutral stood up and suggested, “Didn’t we announce that we’re recruiting newcomers this year?”
