“Someone recommended by the Empress?”
Leonard restrained his temper and looked at the woman.
Ji Ziyin quickly caught up to them and respectfully took out her business card. “h.e.l.lo, Elder Leonard. I’m Ji Ziyin. This is my business card.”
Hooked Nose calmly took it. His att.i.tude was not very enthusiastic. “How did you find us?”
Ji Ziyin knew the other party’s ident.i.ty and did not dare to hide it. “I heard from Lord Shadow that you were coming to the independent continent to do something, so I’ve been waiting outside the First Research Inst.i.tute.
“I wanted to come visit, but it’s not convenient given my ident.i.ty, so I didn’t go in to disturb you.”
After explaining vaguely, she looked at Hooked Nose and carefully observed his expression. Then, she cautiously asked, “Elder Leonard, have you settled your matters?”
She knew that the people from the Privy Council would go to the research inst.i.tute to look for Qiao Nian today, so she waited outside anxiously.
It was not that she hadn’t thought of barging into the First Research Inst.i.tute.
However, not everyone could enter the place.
Especially for someone like her who had been chased out, it was even harder for her to enter it!
Ji Ziyin’s gaze flickered as she nervously observed their reactions. Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, subconsciously clenched into fists.
“Hmph, she said that she won’t enter the Privy Council.” She probably mentioned the old man’s sore spot, and he almost blurted out a mocking remark.
Fortunately, the person beside him pulled him back. “Old Leo, be careful with your words and actions.”
Leonard suddenly reacted, and his expression became even uglier.
That person turned to Ji Ziyin and said, “Miss Ji, we’ve received your business card. We’re going up to rest now, so we won’t be accompanying you.”
Ji Ziyin was still in shock, but she reacted quickly. “Alright, alright. I won’t disturb the two of you anymore.”
She looked at Leonard and said tactfully, “Elder Leonard, I grew up in the independent continent. I can be your tour guide if you want a tour. In addition, I have shares in this hotel. You can contact me if you need anything. My business card has my phone number.”
After saying that, she politely stepped aside to make way for them. She even pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton for them, looking like she was willing to help them.
The elevator arrived very quickly.
They entered the elevator under her gaze. After a while, the elevator doors closed and the number on the left side began to rise.
Ji Ziyin put away her mask the moment the elevator doors closed. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she lowered her voice in disbelief. “She refuses to enter the Privy Council?”
There was actually someone in this world who would reject the olive branch offered by the Privy Council. Qiao Nian was too arrogant.
Did she know what the Privy Council represented?!
At this moment, Ji Ziyin’s blood surged, and her heart beat so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat.
On one hand, she did not dare to believe that Qiao Nian would reject the Privy Council. On the other hand, she was angry that Qiao Nian actually dared to reject the Privy Council…
This complicated feeling of surprise and anger lingered in her heart, almost tearing her soul into two.
Compared to jealousy, Ji Ziyin was glad that she had the upper hand.
She quickly composed herself, took out her phone, and walked out. “Lord Shadow, I’ve met Elder Leonard.
“No, I only saw three people.
“Elder Leonard said… Qiao Nian refused to enter the Privy Council.”
She lowered her voice and tried her best to suppress her joy. “I don’t know the exact situation, either.. Their negotiation should have collapsed..
