1676 Someone Is Deliberately Making Things Difficult

On the other side.

]Qiao Nian had just walked out of the elevator. She heard Nie Mi arguing with someone before she could meet up with him and the others.

“Why can’t you let us in?”

“I’m so sorry.”

“I’m not forcing you to apologize. You have to give us a reason for suddenly not letting us in. Otherwise, what will we think when so many of us are here?”

“Sorry.”

“I told you, I don’t want your apology. I just want to know why you stopped us outside! We have an invitation to your cocktail party, but you don’t let us in or give us a reasonable explanation. Is this how you treat your guests in the Independent Continent?!”

Qiao Nian looked up slightly, surprised.

It was rare for Nie Mi to get so angry. He must have encountered something fierce.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The collar of her shirt was slightly open. With one hand in her pocket, she walked in the direction of the argument.

She immediately saw Master Cheng, Liang Conglin, and the others. Her father and a few old professors were also there.

Nie Mi was arguing with the doorman at the entrance of the banquet hall. He was so angry that his face was red and his neck veins were bulging. He looked furious.

She walked over and looked up slightly. “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Zongjin turned around and saw Qiao Nian. He explained in a low voice, “Elder Nie brought us to attend the cocktail party. We took out the invitation card, but the doorman insisted on not letting us in. He also won’t tell us the reason. Elder Nie was so angry that he started arguing with them. However, other than apologizing, the other party refused to give a reason…”

Qiao Nian instantly understood.

This situation was indeed infuriating.

Qiao Nian looked up and saw that the doorman’s attitude was still the same. His apology was sincere, but he refused to let them in. “I’m very sorry.”

Master Cheng walked over at this moment. He greeted Qiao Nian upon seeing her. Then, he said to Jiang Zongjin and the others, “I asked around. The other party vaguely revealed to me that we offended the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance deliberately prevented us from entering.”

“How could they?” Liang Conglin understood the reason before he could finish the sentence. His expression immediately turned ashen. “Is it because of the chip?”

“I think so.” Master Cheng nodded.

Liang Conglin immediately choked. “The Qi family was unreasonable and wanted to forcefully pin the plagiarism on us. We just defended ourselves. How can they pin all the blame on us?”

Master Cheng’s expression was cold and solemn, and he was not in high spirits. “The Qi family is one of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s members. They will definitely protect their own people. Even if the Qi family has already fallen, they still have to stand up for them. To put it bluntly, they are not deliberately making things difficult for us for the Qi family, but to regain face for their Chamber of Commerce Alliance!”

The Chamber of Commerce Alliance wasn’t a particularly impressive force in the Independent Continent, but it was still mid-sized.

They were outsiders.

A powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake, let alone a group of scientific researchers like them!

In the Independent Continent’s territory, there was nothing they could do if others wanted to make things difficult for them!

“Tell Elder Nie to come back! We won’t be attending the cocktail party tonight,” Master Cheng said calmly.

However, he knew very well that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would not stop at this.

They would definitely cause trouble in the dark. He was afraid that the cocktail parties they were supposed to attend in the next few days would not let them in like today.
