Everyone in the living room turned their heads to look.
At the door, a middle-aged man in a suit was holding a bunch of keys. It looked like he had just opened the door. Behind him, an old man with gray hair walked in, escorted by two soldiers wearing navy blue military uniforms.
"Grandpa!" Qiao Rui greeted her with a smile on her face. Other Qiao Yun, Cai Anmin and other Qiao family members also came forward to greet her. Even Qiao's mother who was busy in the kitchen ran out and said while wiping her hands.
: "Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came over? I'll make you some of your favorite side dishes."
The old man with gray hair is Mr. Qiao. He actually doesn't look old, there are only some shallow wrinkles on his face.
"It's better to do it casually. If you cook it deliberately, it will taste tasteless." Qiao Gong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Qiao Rui looked at the man in the suit: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Qiao a busy man? Isn't Mr. Qiao presiding over an emergency meeting in the company? How come he has time to go home?"
The man in the suit, Dad Qiao, gave a bitter smile: "Don't be poor, is there anything more urgent than the old man's summons? The same goes for the vice president presiding over the meeting."
"Tsk, tsk, it seems grandpa is more proud." Qiao Rui said sarcastically.
Qiao's father glared at Qiao Rui, then looked at Qiao Gong with a guilty look, and said with a smile: "They say that daughters are caring little dads. This black-hearted guy in my family is like me. Find a man to marry you as soon as possible.
You can go out now, I can't see out of sight..." Qiao Rui rolled her eyes.
Father Qiao's words successfully revived the atmosphere, and the Qiao family surrounded Duke Qiao and took the main seat.
Bai Xiaowen felt a little nervous. This was the first time he saw the top brass of the power center of China. There was a kind of majesty surrounding Mr. Qiao. This majesty had nothing to do with rank or template. It was accumulated from being in the center of power for a long time.
The power is like a crouching dragon subduing a tiger, holding it in but not releasing it.
Li Shuyi didn't feel nervous because Bai Xiaowen was there.
"These two are Xiaosi's teammates, right?" Mr. Qiao got down to business with his first sentence after he took his seat.
"Yes, grandpa, let me introduce to you. This is the captain of the White Phoenix team I joined, Bai Xiaowen, who is about to be promoted to level 7 of the hero profession. This is team member Li Shuyi, who has reached the threshold of level 7 of the elite profession.
But it won’t be long before she becomes a hero,” Qiao Rui said.
Dad Qiao said "Hey": "Can elites be promoted to heroes? Is there such a thing in the awakened stage?"
Others were also curious.
Li Shuyi generously put the "purified residue of divine power" on display for everyone to see. She knew that now was the time to reveal the strength of the White Phoenix Team and could not hide it. The foundation and potential displayed by the White Phoenix Team
The stronger Qiao Rui is, the less pressure she will bear in the family.
"It's actually this kind of prop... It's amazing, it's amazing." Dad Qiao said two amazing words in a row.
"Template upgrade props... this is also the first time I've seen them." Cai Anmin said.
"What level of mission does this have to be to get a reward?" Sister-in-law Qiao Yun exclaimed, "Xiao Bai looks ordinary, but he is really strong."
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "The mission involves confidential information, which is difficult to disclose. Being able to get this reward also involves luck."
Mr. Qiao said slowly: "I also understand that the exploration of the spiritual world depends on luck for three points, and the other ninety-seven points require the support of strength..." He paused at this point.
No one reacted at all, but Dad Qiao reacted first, laughing and saying, "The old man is so funny..."
“Humorous humor.”
“Funny and entertaining.”
"I thought it was thirty-seven points. I didn't even react when the old man said this..."
Bai Xiaowen felt a chill. How could Mr. Qiao still tell cold jokes? He had always thought that old people in high positions like this were the type who were serious in speech and rigid in everything they said and did.
How should I put it... Although the joke was very cold, seeing that Qiao Gong was still trying to get closer to the interests of young people despite his high moral character, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi smiled slightly to show their respect.
Mr. Qiao coughed: "Xiaobai, I have an impression of your name, but I can't remember the specific reason."
Bai Xiaowen stood up quickly: "Did I encounter the assassination by the awakened ones sent by the Botu Guild of Taiwan last year? That incident might have gone unsolved. It was only because of Qiao Gong's words that the planner was allowed to die.
Those who were brought to justice were brought to justice.”
"Well, last year's... special rectification operation? That's what happened," Qiao Gong was very talkative and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not all because of you. This operation has already been put on the agenda. The Botu Guild is just right.
It’s the right time.”
"Yes, but I am still very grateful to Mr. Qiao." Bai Xiaowen said seriously.
"You don't need to thank me. It was Xiao Si'er who told me about your assassination," Mr. Qiao waved his hand again, "Were you already acquainted at that time?"
Bai Xiaowen was surprised. He only knew Qiao Qi at that time, but he really didn't know Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui's face turned red and she said, "Grandpa, why are you bringing this up?"
"You have to speak clearly. When you join other people's team, you have to be honest with each other." Qiao Gong's sharp eyesight revealed a clue from Bai Xiaowen's subconscious reaction. "Could it be said that at that time, Xiao Si'er, you knew Xiao Bai, but...
Xiaobai doesn’t know you?”
It was another old-fashioned joke... It wasn't even a joke. However, the Qiao family still let out a burst of laughter in cooperation...
Qiao Rui was a little hesitant.
"By the way, I heard from San'er that Xiao Si'er once borrowed her Internet account to stand up for Xiaobai on the Internet." Sister-in-law Qiao Yun added, "In my opinion, the relationship between these two children is probably not good.
It's simple, I should have known each other before the cuaa Beijing finals."
Seeing the suspicious looks in the family's eyes, Qiao Rui finally surrendered.
"Okay, let me say...actually, I am a fan of Xiaowen."
Qiao Rui ignored everyone's shocked looks and said smoothly, "The first time I saw Xiaowen's live broadcast, I thought it was very good. He made me feel as friendly as a biological brother. I also joined
His fan club just didn’t attend the meeting.”
Bai Xiaowen's eyes widened slightly: "Sister Qiao, are you the one..."
"Yes, I am the proud princess." Qiao Rui said a little embarrassed.
"I should have thought of it earlier... I am really a fan of the authorities," Bai Xiaowen said with emotion, and then said, "Thank you, Sister Qiao, for your continued support and help to me."
"It seems that Xiao Si'er knows Xiao Bai very well. Joining his team is not just a hothead... and Xiao Bai's ability is indeed very strong. He is only 18 years old and is already on the verge of becoming a high-level awakened person. I think so
...It’s not a bad thing for Xiao Si’er to join Xiao Bai’s team,” Qiao Yun said.
