Qiao Nian casually flipped through it and could basically confirm that the laboratory that Ji Ziyin and Yu Qingliu had recently set up was doing the chemical experiments in the notebook's second half.
The girl's porcelain-white skin was even more l.u.s.trous and delicate under the light.
Qiao Nian was trying to guess the experiment Ji Ziyin was most likely to do when her cell phone rang.
The girl leaned back against the chair in frustration and grabbed the phone to answer the call. "h.e.l.lo."
Her tone was frivolous and casual.
Clearly a little unhappy.
The person on the other end of the line felt her displeasure at being disturbed and carefully asked, "Big boss, are you free?"
"Hm?"
Qiao Nian's eyes were dry.
She paused for a second and then consciously adjusted her emotions. Then, she asked, "Why did you call me?"
"… It's nothing serious." It was obviously a man's voice on the other end of the cell phone. It was rough and generous. He was a straightforward person. "It's not easy for me to come to the independent continent. Big boss, do you have time to meet me?"
Qiao Nian's gaze drifted to the computer, and she looked at the calendar in the lower right corner of the screen. "The afternoon after tomorrow?"
Qiao Nian keenly realized that he was silent. She pressed between her eyebrows. Suppressing her frustration, she asked, "Do you have plans the afternoon after tomorrow?"
"I don't have any arrangements. I just arrived at the independent continent. How can I make any arrangements?" The man on the other end of the call denied it. He then asked tentatively, "Big boss, do you have any plans tomorrow?"
Qiao Nian thought for a moment before seriously replying, "Mm."
"Who is it?"
"Huh?"
She slowly said, "I don't have anyone I want to see. But I've been too tired recently. I don't want to go out tomorrow."
…
Daji, who was far away in the unruly area of the independent continent, stood in front of the French window with his cell phone in his hand for a long time.
He thought that the big boss's arrangements for tomorrow were more important than his. Who knew, she just didn't want to leave… He actually did not know if he should cry or laugh for a moment.
Daji lowered his head and laughed.
His subordinate thought that he had been agitated. He was so frightened by his smile that he quickly lowered his head and stared at his toes, afraid that his boss would kick him out if he took another breath.
Fortunately, his boss did not look at him.
The subordinate heard his boss say in a light-hearted voice that made one's hair stand on end, "Alright, then the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. It's a deal."
He received an affirmative answer from Qiao Nian.
Daji hung up in satisfaction. He put down his cell phone and walked back, then said to his subordinate, "Make time for me in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Find a suitable place. Make a reservation."
His subordinate did not dare to ask further. "Boss, how many people should I book for?"
Daji walked back to the sofa and took a bottle of XO from the wine rack. After removing the cork, he poured himself a gla.s.s and added two ice cubes. He picked up the gla.s.s and shook it twice. After thinking for a while, he said, "Two."
He definitely would not call Guan Yan. He wanted to meet the big boss alone this time.
Otherwise, with that woman's sharp tongue, she would definitely diss him.
Besides… this was such a good opportunity to cozy up to someone powerful, only a fool would call those two b*stards in the group.
Before his subordinate left, he stopped and reminded him, "Find a good restaurant, preferably a place with dishes with strong flavors!"
