Space-Ti Eggs...
After the Mythical Chessboard in the "Space-Ti Magic Book" was loaded, Zhou Wang received a system prompt that at least three "Space-Ti Eggs" would be assigned on this "unique" chessboard.
Zhou Wang didn’t understand what it ant at the ti, and could only comprehend "Space-Ti Eggs" as sothing similar to "Hidden Rounds".
Later, he turned the chessboard’s "Visualization Switch" on and off repeatedly, wandered around Magic City for two weeks, yet never encountered the so-called "Space-Ti Eggs". Zhou Wang gradually forgot about it.
He didn’t expect to see the first "Space-Ti Egg" on Nie Xiaoyun at this mont.
Just by sneaking a glance at Nie Xiaoyun for a while, Zhou Wang couldn’t figure out how to trigger this so-called "Space-Ti Egg", so he temporarily set it aside, turning to respond to Nie Xiaoyun.
"Aunt Nie, it’s been a long ti, quite... uh, quite a while, hasn’t it?"
Zhou Wang initially wanted to say several years, but upon reflection, he realized he hadn’t collected all the "Ti Gears" yet, so it was uncertain from his incomplete mory if he had seen Nie Xiaoyun later. Thus, Zhou Wang ended up vaguely ntioned a period.
"It has been a while... I happen to have a eting in Zhe Province today, and hearing from Yiyi that you are hosting a banquet, I thought I’d drop by, hope I’m not disturbing?"
Nie Xiaoyun said with a sense of emotion, then smiled and inquired.
"Of course not, Aunt Nie. Whenever you co to my place, there’ll always be a spot for you."
"You still have a way with words."
Nie Xiaoyun smiled upon hearing this, and Ding Yi beside her gave Zhou Wang a little "you smartass" look.
"This place is quite nice, did you buy it?"
Nie Xiaoyun asked while glancing around.
That’s a matter of perspective; Nie Xiaoyun had always worked in state-owned enterprises and held high positions, subconsciously not believing Zhou Wang would organize a grand banquet in an office building by leasing.
Zhou Wang smiled and nodded, "I did buy it. Besides using it as the foundation’s headquarters, I have other plans for it... Aunt Nie, please co in, I’ll show you to your seat first."
"Okay."
Though Nie Xiaoyun had many things she wanted to say to Zhou Wang, she knew the timing wasn’t right, so she nodded with a smile.
As they walked inside, upon hearing it was Ding Yi’s mother, Tang Yiming and others hurried over to greet her with great respect.
Even those like Guo Bing and Shao Xiaoqi, who didn’t know Ding Yi well, quickly ca over to pay their respects after Young Master Zhang’s brief introduction.
Their family backgrounds were evidently not enough to be impressive in front of such a prominent woman.
Even Luo iling, who had arrived earlier, took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Nie Xiaoyun, and before taking their seats, the two similarly aged beautiful won were already chatting happily.
But the thing Zhou Wang least wanted to happen still occurred.
Even though he deliberately arranged Jiang Qingkui to use the other elevators to bring in guests, how could she possibly not notice the commotion caused by Nie Xiaoyun? When Jiang Qingkui feigned nonchalance upon returning and caught Ding Yi’s eye in the entrance hall, Zhou Wang wasn’t sure if it was just his illusion, but the air around seed to freeze for a mont.
Young Master Qiu, Young Master Zhang, and Shao Xiaoqi, among others, inexplicably shivered... Damn, why is it suddenly a bit cold?
At this mont, Zhou Wang hoped that the two won would pretend not to see each other, but he evidently neglected one thing: neither Ding Yi nor Jiang Qingkui had an avoidant personality, so how could they possibly show weakness?
Considering the incident at the airport in the afternoon, the two won were already in a "sensitive" state, making it even more impossible to ignore each other’s presence.
After about 1.5 seconds of silence, Ding Yi was the first to speak with her signature bright smile.
"Sister Qingkui, we et again."
"Yes, we et again... But Junior Sister Ding, did you know this isn’t actually our first eting today?"
"Oh?"
"I saw you at the airport parking lot, but you seed busy at the ti, so it wasn’t appropriate to say hi."
Jiang Qingkui smiled faintly, her tone normal, but it evidently sounded different to Ding.
"So Sister Qingkui went to the airport too?"
After a slight pause, Ding Yi’s smile unconsciously faded a bit.
"I was on today’s flight to Magic City, just a bit earlier than you all."
Jiang Qingkui said aningfully.
Zhou Wang caught a glimpse of Ding Yi’s hand gripping her dress tightly, which made him wince...
Damn, Qingkui’s words were too "sly". Clearly, she got picked up by Zhou Wang coincidentally, but Jiang Qingkui’s description made it seem like Zhou Wang was actually there to pick her up, and Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei were an afterthought.
Given Ding Yi’s usual assertive personality, how could she take this?
Sure enough, Ding Yi’s smile quickly brightened again. She exclaid, pretending to be surprised:
"Oh really, there was a bit of a disagreent between Xixi and at the ti, so I didn’t notice your presence... But Sister Qingkui, you’re really considerate, knowing to give space to and Xixi. But of course, if Sister Qingkui weren’t so understanding, Zhou Wang probably wouldn’t have made you his personal Secretary."
