“What do you think?” Feng Yu couldn’t tell her directly, so he pulled her over and introduced her to the old man. “Elder Xue, let introduce you. This is Qiao Nian, the successor I chose and the future dean of the First Research Institute.”
He looked at the girl again, his tone much more relaxed now. It was obvious who he was closer to. “Nian Nian, this is Elder Xue from the Privy Council.” Privy Council?
Qiao Nian subconsciously frowned and felt inexplicably cold. However, since Feng Yu was introducing him to her, it ant that this person had no ill intentions.
Hence, she extended her hand and greeted politely, “Hello.”
The silver-haired old man was about 70 years old. He looked shrewd, and his eyes were also bright. Wearing a dark red oriental, he did not look like he was from Country M. He looked more like an Oriental. He also had an Oriental’s reserved aura.
However, his eyes were amber, and he was not considered tall among
Westerners. He was only about 1.7 ters tall, slightly shorter than Feng Yu.
While Qiao Nian was sizing him up, the silver-haired elder was also sizing her up.
Those shrewd eyes looked from head to toe, and finally back to Qiao Nian’s face. He smiled faintly and said, “You don’t have to be nervous. I didn’t co to find trouble with you.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and retracted her hand. She pulled down her baseball cap to reveal her snow-white jawline. “It’s not convenient to chat here, I know a place where we can have a drink outside, Shall we talk there?”
Feng Yu tried to smooth things over. “Elder Xue, there are too many people here. The place Nian Nian ntioned is not far from the research institute.
Let’s go there.”
The silver-haired old man agreed easily. “Sure.”
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the cafe outside the research institute. Qiao Nian went over to order food and ordered two low-sugar lattes and a glass of iced lemonade. Soon, she returned with three glasses of drinks on a tray.
“Here’s your coffee.”
She placed two cups of low-sugar latte in front of Feng Yu and the silver-haired old man. Then, she pulled out the remaining seat and sat down.
Next, she looked up at the silver-haired old man and bluntly asked, “Tell , why are you looking for ?”
“Cough, cough…” Feng Yu had just lowered his head to sip coffee and almost choked on it. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed a piece of napkin and covered his mouth, preventing the coffee from spewing out.
The silver-haired old man was much calr and even handed him a napkin.
Then, he looked at the girl with a hint of interest, as if he admired her straightforward personality. He picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and then asked, “Do you know that the Privy Council is going to vote on your recruitnt?”
Qiao Nian did not care about this. She replied honestly, “To be honest, I just
found out.’
Ever since she fell out with the people who ca the other day, she had no interest in entering the Privy Council anymore.
“Haha.” The silver-haired old man laughed. “l really want you to enter the
Privy Council. The Privy Council has stagnated for too long. We need soone to break the ice, but we haven’t found a suitable candidate.’
He looked at the girl, not bothering to hide his praise. “You… are just as I thought. You have the bearing of soone from the Ji family!”
The direct descendants of the Ji family had always been different. They were smart. However, this intelligence that exceeded that of ordinary people was like a double-edged sword.
So people chose the sharp side, while others chose the back of the blade..
