2000 A Friend of the Black Mandala Wants to Ask Sister Nian Out for a Meal “Speaking of which, why were those people from the Ji family targeting Sister Qiao today? I think there’s something wrong with the way that old man looked at Sister Qiao. It’s as if he knows her…” Fortunately, Qin Si thought of something else and did not dwell too much on the ‘diamond big boss’ gossip. He changed the topic. Qiao Nian had a chance to catch her breath, so she focused all her attention on her messages. She held her phone and did not reply for a long time. On her phone screen was a private message from [Indigo Collar]. [Indigo Collar: Q, are you in the Independent Continent?] [Q: ?] This was Qiao Nian’s reply a minute ago. Then, 10 seconds ago, the other party sent another message. [Indigo Collar: I’m also in the Independent Continent. What a coincidence. Do you have time to meet? Set a time and place. I’ll look for you.] Qiao Nian looked at the private message on her phone and hesitated for a moment. A thought flashed across her beautiful black eyes, but she still rejected the other party’s invitation. [Q: I don’t have time for now. We’ll see.] There was no response from [Indigo Collar]. Qiao Nian did not care anymore. She adjusted her seat back and leaned back. She relaxed and closed her eyes to rest. She woke up early in the morning and her head was still aching. Qiao Nian planned to have a good rest while Ye Wangchuan drove them back. * * * At the same time, at the First Research Institute. Feng Yu had just walked away to answer a call. When he came back, he saw that he had been rejected. Not discouraged, he pulled out a chair, sat down, and typed a reply. [Indigo Collar: I’ll wait for you to ask me out when you’re free.] The girl’s profile picture had already darkened when he sent the message. The gray profile picture meant that she had already gone offline. For the time being, she could not see the new message. Feng Yu looked at the computer for a while. Someone happened to knock on the door at this moment. “Come in.” Casually closing the chat box and exiting the software, he looked up and saw the person who had entered. “What’s the matter?” It was his assistant. The assistant looked down and said, “Director, the Ji family sent an invitation to Ji Ziyin’s birthday party. Do you want to go?” “Ji Ziyin?” Feng Yu thought for a long time before remembering who it was. He adjusted the seat back and placed his hands on the desk, then said casually, “Oh, I don’t have time. Help me reject it.” “Okay.” Feng Yu’s assistant was already used to him not participating in the favors of the Independent Continent, so he didn’t even ask. He nodded and prepared to do it. In any case, with Feng Yu’s current status, he did not need to attend a junior’s ordinary birthday party. “Wait a minute.” Feng Yu asked a random question when he was about to leave, “Where do young people from the Independent Continent like to eat?” “Huh?” The assistant turned around with a confused expression. He was clueless. Why was the director asking about this? Although he had 10,000 doubts in his heart, he thought for a moment and replied seriously, “I think… the Seaview Pavilion? “My children like to eat there. Other than eating, there are also private rooms for leisure. Young people can gather and have fun.” Feng Yu nodded and wrote it down. “I understand.” His assistant couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Director, are you treating someone to a meal? When? Do you need me to reserve a private room for you?”
