Chapter 3252: Sister Nian: Alright, Let’s Wait and See!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian walked over with Bo Zheng and the rest and heard all kinds of voices.
Most of the discussions were about Nie Qixing.
“I heard that Country M’s representative has already met Mr. Auburn. Looks like there won’t be any suspense at this weapons exhibition.”
“Mr. Auburn shouldn’t be so unprincipled, right?”
“Tsk, haven’t you heard of the reclusive families? If you know the power behind Nie Qixing, you will understand why there’s almost no suspense in this exhibition.”
“That powerful?”
“Let’s put it this way. We’re all just foils. Only a fool would use this weapons exhibition as a place to compete.”
…
Other than Nie Qixing, there were also rare mentions of Beijing and Master Cheng.
“I heard that Beijing made a very advanced device this time. Master Cheng is not a nameless person. There’s still a compet.i.tor.”
“Beijing? You’re talking about China’s Beijing?” Someone immediately mocked. “Who doesn’t know Beijing’s standards? Forget it! They didn’t dare to partic.i.p.ate in the past… This time, they’re just bragging. What good stuff can they bring out?”
Qin Si naturally heard them. His face darkened and he rolled up his sleeves, itching for a fight. “I’ll go talk to them.”
“Come back,” Qiao Nian called out softly.
Her voice wasn’t loud. However, Qin Si obediently stopped and looked at her.
The girl had not taken the noisy gossip to heart. She only said calmly, “Only useless people like to talk about others behind their backs.”
“…”
“Since they don’t have the ability, why do you have to argue with them?”
It was just two sentences.
Qin Si smiled and cursed, “Oh my G.o.d, Sister Qiao, you’ve hit the nail on the head!”
He was originally quite angry, but not so much right now.
However, they were already very close to the people who mocked Beijing behind their backs. Otherwise, they would not have heard their small talk.
They could hear them, so the other party naturally heard what they said.
Those who had mocked Beijing for bragging and Master Cheng for being unable to take out anything turned red and green. They were agitated, but since they had spoken behind others’ backs first, they didn’t have the moral high ground to confront Qiao Nian and the others.
However, they were clearly unhappy at being humiliated in public. One of them snorted and deliberately raised his voice in disdain. “What a joke! I can’t even speak the truth. Master Cheng was internationally famous when he was young, but who has heard of him in the past 20 years? I’m afraid he’s already exhausted his talents. He has to admit that he’s old!”
The smile that Qin Si had painstakingly raised instantly disappeared. Even Bo Zheng, who rarely got angry, glared at the man who spoke.
Back then, Master Cheng could have gone to a higher-level research inst.i.tute overseas. However, for the sake of justice, he chose the Ninth Branch, which had just been established.
The Ninth Branch’s facilities and equipment were poor, greatly delaying Master Cheng’s research progress. But he never complained.
Later on, Ye w.a.n.gchuan gradually took over the Ninth Branch and gave them sufficient funds. Only then did the Ninth Branch flourish.
It could be said that Master Cheng had hidden his ident.i.ty for decades for the Ninth Branch and Beijing’s sake.
This person’s mouth was too foul!
It was disgusting.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and finally looked at him seriously. Her gaze landed on the work tag on his chest. “Number 3, right? Let’s wait and see.”
