2351 Sister Nian: I’m Busy at the Moment and Can’t Go
He pulled Xue Zhu back. His handsome eyes were as reserved and cold as ever, but his facial contours were much gentler. “It’s useless even if we go there. Come with me to find the Deputy Director.”
Xue Zhu also grabbed her things and nodded. After taking a deep breath, she said, “I understand.”
The two of them left.
Shen Qingfeng walked to the side as he dialed Qiao Nian’s number.
“Toot-toot.”
He heard the dial tone seven to eight times.
Shen Qingfeng’s heart was beating like a drum when the other party finally picked up.
Not caring about it, Shen Qingfeng immediately told Qiao Nian what was happening. Then, he anxiously asked, “Qiao Nian, where are you? Is it convenient for you to come to the research inst.i.tute? I’m afraid that the dean and Team Leader Gu will cause more trouble. Only if you come will the dean stop.”
…
In a black SUV outside the First Research Inst.i.tute.
The girl pressed down her baseball cap and rolled down the window. Propping her elbows on the side and looking at the road, she said casually, “I can’t go for now. Get Zhou Zhou to help you for now.”
“Team— Team Leader Zhou?” Shen Qingfeng asked.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and replied lazily, “Yes, her.”
Shen Qingfeng seemed to want to ask her a question.
Qiao Nian’s sharp eyes saw a figure coming out of the First Research Inst.i.tute. She interrupted Shen Qingfeng and only said concisely, “I’m busy at the moment. I’ll call you back later.”
She hung up.
Then, she opened the door with one hand and said to the other person in the car, “That person is Bai Hui, right?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan also unbuckled his seatbelt. He looked at the photo on his phone and then at the person preparing to cross the road. He clicked his tongue. “It’s her.”
Qiao Nian was about to get out of the car.
However, Ye w.a.n.gchuan was already one step ahead of her. He instructed another person, “Mo Dong, invite her to a nearby café.”
“Yes, Master w.a.n.g.”
A man with an obvious scar on his face agilely got out of the car and strode towards the woman who had just left the First Research Inst.i.tute.
Qiao Nian saw that he quickly stopped the woman and seemed to say something.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan opened the door for her and said softly, “Anyway, we’ve already found her. There’s no hurry.”
Nodding, Qiao Nian took her cell phone and got out of the car. “Let’s go. I’ll talk to her alone.”

Bai Hui was forcefully ‘invited’ to a drink. The other party even thoughtfully ordered a cup of white coffee for her.
She held the coffee cup as she looked out of the window, uneasy.
After a while, the door of the cafe was pushed open.
Bai Hui looked stunned and subconsciously stood up upon seeing who it was. “Q-Qiao Nian?”
The girl’s aura was cynical as she walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down. Under her baseball cap was an extremely beautiful face. Her eyelids were lowered and her black eyelashes were slightly raised, as if she did not expect the other party to know her. “You know me?”
Bai Hui composed herself and tightened her grip on the coffee cup. Then, she smiled bitterly and said, “Few people in the First Research Inst.i.tute don’t know you. It’s just that you don’t know us.
“I entered the First Research Inst.i.tute in the same year as Xu Yi. We can almost be considered friends.” She leaned back in her seat and stirred her coffee with a spoon. Her heart was in a mess. She didn’t know what Qiao Nian wanted with her. She looked up and smiled. “He told me about you. He’s really lucky to have met you.”
