She took a deep breath, rubbed her face, sobered up, stood up, paid the bill and left the cafe.
Qiao Nian...
She originally thought she could enter a new stage of life soon, but why did Qiao Nian refuse to let her go and always fight for her!
*
Shifu heard from Feng Yu early in the morning that Qiao Nian had agreed to join the Privy Council. He was absent-minded all morning.
At noon, he finally couldn't sit still and went to the laboratory used by girls alone to find someone.
Qiao Nian asked Feng Yu to apply for an independent laboratory. She would use this laboratory alone and no one else would know what she was researching.
Feng Yu was very tolerant of this and quickly approved her small laboratory.
Except for Qiao Nian, who asked Xu Yi for help, no one has entered her laboratory yet.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door outside the laboratory.
The girl who had just finished a reactor experiment took off her silicone gloves, walked to the computer and recorded the data, and said without raising her head: "Come in."
Shi Fu pushed the door open and went in.
He saw the reactor on the experimental platform at a glance.
The chemical reagents inside had been burned into a charred mixture, but after all, he had been in the laboratory for decades.
You can tell at a glance what kind of experiments the girls are doing.
Qiao Nian wrote down the data she had just concluded, then turned around and saw Shi Fu coming over. She raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
However, she did not deliberately cover up the things on her experimental table. Instead, she walked to the water dispenser and got Shifu a glass of water and put it in it.
Then she stood leaning against the experimental table and spoke: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Shifu came back to his senses, took the water from her hand, held it in his hand for a long time, and then said, "I'm sorry about what happened before."
Qiao Nian: "?"
What happened before?
She didn't think about it for a moment.
When Shi Fu saw that she was silent, he pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "I shouldn't have said that to you before. Don't take what I said to be at ease."
A flash of realization flashed deep in Qiao Nian's dark eyes, and she finally understood what he was talking about. She raised her hand and said nonchalantly: "I forgot about it."
Shi Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and a rare smile appeared on his strict face. He lowered his head to take a sip of water, and then raised his head to look at her: "You have to go through their review before entering the Privy Council. If you enter in the future, you will have to start as a newcomer.
"
"New members of the Privy Council generally have no say, especially... they discriminate against Orientals."
After all, the Privy Council is an institution composed of the main members of the Hidden Family, and most of the people in the Hidden Family are Westerners.
Oriental faces are very marginalized and discriminated against there.
Just like when Qiao Nian and the others were in Country M, those people would naturally look down upon them if they saw them as Orientals!
They don't recognize Orientals in their bones.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes with dry eyes, raised her lips and smiled: "Really? I also discriminate against idiots."
"..." Seeing her unruly look, Shi Fu didn't worry about her anymore for some reason: "It's okay if you think so. As long as you don't take them seriously, they are just ordinary people."
Qiao Nian is surrounded by more or less 'ordinary people'.
She didn't feel much mystery or awe about an institution like the Privy Council. She just felt that the Privy Council's external image was quite sophisticated.
Before Shi Fu left, his eyes fell on her test table again. He paused slightly and said, "I saw that she had done this experiment you did. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me and I will try my best to help you."
Qiao Nian looked at his back as he left quickly, blinked slowly, and held back what he almost asked.
Why does she feel that her mentor seems to have different feelings for Ji Qing?
Qiao Nian rubbed his face, shook off the thoughts in his mind, and walked over to continue checking the data on the computer.
