The suite returned to silence.
Nie Qingru grabbed her dicine from the drawer, poured out two pills, and gulped it with the red wine.
The dicine developed by the Pharmacy Association was much more effective than the dicine sold on the market. After taking it, she rested on the sofa for ten minutes. Her migraine was no longer as painful as before, attesting to the dicine's effect…
Nie Qingru gathered her shawl and picked up her phone again. After finding a number on the contact list, she clicked on it.
The person on the other end picked up after ten seconds but remained silent.
Nie Qingru stood up and walked towards the study. His large, dark green eyes and dark eyelashes were so beautiful that they carried a hint of killing intent. "Is Ji Lingfeng with you?"
There was no reply.
Her voice turned cold. "How long are you going to wait before making a move?"
Soone finally responded.
The young man's voice carried the night breeze of the illegal district. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry. "Ms. Nie, you've made a mistake. I'm not your subordinate. You can't order around…"
Nie Qingru seed to have known he would say this, but she did not get angry. An unfathomable light glinted in her eyes, and her red lips curled into a smile. "Heh, I didn't expect you to be a devoted seed.
"It's a pity that it's useless. She doesn't like you. Compared to Ye Wangchuan, you're just a cripple! You still have a chance to win her over if we cooperate. But if you continue like this, you'll only watch as she gets further and further away from you…"
"It's not up to you to teach how to do things." Lu Zhi's tone sank an inch, but he still maintained so clarity. "You should take care of your successor instead."
Nie Qingru was hit where it hurt the most.
"The successor you've worked so hard to groom isn't that outstanding."
Nie Qingru's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes turned cold. "It has nothing to do with you."
"I'm curious. Why did you kill your biological daughter and choose to cultivate such a thing back then? Don't you regret it?" Lu Zhi seed to have the magic to see through people's hearts.
Wherever she was in pain, he would stab it.
Nie Qingru could no longer smile. She entered the study and walked straight to the desk. Holding the phone, she warned, "Lu Zhi, you'd better not anger . You're different from her. She has nothing to fear. You still have Tian Chen. Tian Chen works seamlessly with the reclusive families. It won't do you any good to anger ! You're a businessman. Businessn should prioritize their interests, just like you did in the past."
…
Illegal District, Tian Chen's HQ.
The towering skyscraper, in a huge circular office. The entire office was white. Besides a few bottled plants, there were no other decorations. It looked empty except for a sofa and a desk.
Beyond that, the most impressive thing about the office was the ubiquitous carpet.
An expensive and soft Persian carpet covered the floor.
The important things on the bookshelf weren't placed high up. Everything here seed set up for soone's convenience.
Lu Zhi sat behind his desk with his hand on the office line, with a stack of docunts as tall as a mountain before him.
In front of him was a half-open docunt—the approval of the collaborative scientific research project with Qing University. The signature space at the bottom was still blank.
