Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again



A group of people was waiting outside the First Research Institute.

Ji Ziyin, He Lin, and Ji Xiao were all there. A large group of people was waiting for the results of the assessment.

"Why is it so slow?" Ji Xiao looked at his watch a few times and finally couldn't help but get up from his seat. He walked to the entrance of the aisle and craned his neck to take a look.

There was no sign of anyone coming out yet.

He turned back and said to Ji Ziyin with an annoyed expression, "Usually, the assessment would have ended long ago at this time. It's been more than half an hour, but no one came out. What's going on?"

Ji Ziyin was also looking at the time.

She wasn't wearing a watch, so she looked at the time on the quartz clock hanging on the wall.

The hour and minute hand on the quartz clock had long passed the intersection point. It was already 12:35 PM.

She remembered very clearly that the second round of assessment should end at 12:00 PM. In other words, 35 minutes had passed since the end of the assessment.

35 minutes had passed, but no one came out.

Ji Ziyin pursed her red lips tightly. Unable to hold it in anymore, she stood up and picked up her phone to call someone she knew to ask about the situation inside.

She had yet to make the call when there was a commotion in the lounge.

Someone said loudly, "The results of the assessment are out!"

"The results are out? Where?"

"The results are finally out! I thought something unexpected had happened inside. Otherwise, why didn't anyone come out? The results haven't been announced for a long time."

Everyone looked at the scrolling screen.

The results were finally announced after 40 minutes.

This time, only 29 people participated in the second round of assessment, and the results were announced quickly.

According to the old rules, the 21st to 29th place came out first.

Ji Ziyin was not interested in the low rankings and only looked up routinely.

Qiao Nian's name was not on it, either.

Soon, the scrolling screen updated to display those in 11th to 20th place.

Similarly, Qiao Nian's name was not on this ranking, nor was Ji Hongfeng's name. Obviously, the two of them had entered the top ten.

Seeing that Qiao Nian's name was not among the 11th to 20th place, Ji Xiao looked up in surprise and said in a low voice, "That Qiao Nian entered the top ten?"

He Lin was also paying close attention to the rankings and saw that Qiao Nian was not in the rankings behind.

He was a little calmer than yesterday but also very excited and nervous. However, he almost couldn't hold it in like yesterday.

He was mentally prepared today.

Therefore, when he saw that Qiao Nian's name was not in the 11th to 20th place on the rolling screen, although he was very nervous, he did not show it on his face.

"She seems to have entered the top ten." Ji Ziyin stared at the rolling screen expressionlessly and answered Ji Xiao's question.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips as he looked at the scrolling screen. He began to feel nervous.

In the first round, only Qiao Nian and Xie Yu's results qualified to compete with Ji Hongfeng for a spot in the research institute. As long as these two people's results in the second round were inferior to his, Ji Hongfeng would be able to enter.

However, he was very unlucky. Qiao Nian and Xie Yu seemed to have entered the top ten.

Whether Ji Hongfeng could successfully obtain the qualifications to enter the research institute became uncertain.

A few seconds later.

The scrolling screen refreshed again.

According to the previous rules, the results would be released directly this time. It would be different from the first round where they had to wait and verify again.

Ji Ziyin's eyes darkened as she waited for the final results.

As soon as the scrolling screen was refreshed, she saw the first ranking in the first row.
