Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again



In the huge office of the research institute, several important people in charge were present.

The Ji family's appearance this time was not small, either.

Other than Ji Ziyin herself, a few other people from the Ji family also came.

He Lin was present.

In addition, the hall master of the Ji family's Punishment Hall, Ji Hongyuan, who was known as the family's 'stabilizing pillar', was actually present.

Ji Xiao could only be considered a junior on such an occasion.

Ji Hongyuan sat on the chair. He could only stand at the side and was not even qualified to sit.

The people from the research institute made tea for each of them.

Ji Hongyuan sat there slowly drinking tea. Occasionally, he would chat with Ji Ziyin.

Ji Ziyin had always wanted to curry favor with him, so her attitude was careful and flattering.

Basically, she would answer whatever Ji Hongyuan asked her and act extremely obediently.

It was impossible to tell that the eldest daughter of the Ji family was so impressive outside.

Other than occasionally saying a few words to her, Ji Hongyuan mainly spoke to the heads of the laboratories.

Not many people came this time.

The person in charge of the Level 8 laboratory was not there.

The most important person in the research institute was not present, either.

However, the people in charge of the Level 1 to Level 7 laboratories were there.

Gu Hengbo was among them.

He was wearing a navy blue woolen sweater today. His hair was combed neatly, and he had a square face. He did not look easy to approach.

He chatted more with Ji Hongyuan.

The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances.

"Is that newcomer not here yet?" Gu Hengbo suddenly asked as he put down his thermos and raised his eyelids.

The person in charge of the Level 2 laboratory said, "Zhou Zhou went to look for her. She should be back soon, right?"

Zhou Zhou entered with Qiao Nian as soon as the person finished speaking.

Ji Hongyuan's aura changed when he saw the girl. He ignored Ji Ziyin and focused his turbid tiger eyes on her.

He Lin also focused on her.

Qiao Nian walked in without looking at them.

Ji Hongyuan's expression changed slightly. He frowned, almost angered by the girl's lazy attitude.

He Lin reacted quickly. He filled his cup with water before handing it to him. "Sixth Elder, have some tea."

Ji Hongyuan slowly calmed down. His expression was cold and solemn as he picked up his teacup and drank tea without saying a word.

"Qiao Nian, how did you get the 'super algorithm' you made in the group examination? Did you think of it yourself, or did you see something similar before?" Gu Hengbo was the first to attack. He did not beat around the bush and asked seriously.

It was more like an interrogation than a question. His tone was firm as if he wanted an explanation.

Zhou Zhou pulled a long face.

All eyes were on the girl alone. Everyone was waiting for her answer.

The girl was not wearing a cap today, so they could see the outstanding appearance of this new recruit more clearly.

Such a face did not look like someone who would do research in peace.

No wonder such a thing happened.

"I thought of it myself."

Her voice was clear and unruly.

"You thought of it yourself?" Gu Hengbo asked casually again. "You don't have to be in a hurry to answer. Take more time."

Qiao Nian did not appreciate his kindness. She looked at him casually and folded her hands, then said, "There's no need. I thought of that algorithm myself and experimented to verify it."

Gu Hengbo was so angry that he laughed as if he could not be bothered to argue with a newcomer like her. He nodded and turned to Ji Ziyin, who was beside him. "You tell me."
