2332 What Has She Been Doing Recently

“Tell me. Why are you hemming and hawing?” Old Master Ye urged impatiently.

Old Master Ye was already mentally prepared. However, he was still shocked to the point of no return at this!

“You said… Nian Nian is from the First Research Institute…”

“Yes, the future dean of the First Research Institute.” Ye Lan nodded under his gaze. “Everyone in the independent continent knows about this.”

She had yet to mention Qiao Nian’s previous actions, such as breaking the First Research Institute’s records and beating up the Ji family’s once-in-a-hundred-year genius…

Qiao Nian’s style of doing things was the same as in China.

She had a low profile as a person, but her actions were not.

She did not deliberately do things in a high-profile manner. It was purely a suppression of power.

“Dad, I have something else to tell you.” Ye Lan looked at the Old Master, who had yet to recover from his shock, and solemnly said, “Someone called He Lin from the Ji family just contacted me and said that the head of the Ji family, Ji Lingfeng, wants to see you.”

Old Master Ye naturally knew who Ji Lingfeng was.

He immediately pulled himself away from the fact that Qiao Nian was the future successor of the research institute. His expression suddenly became serious. “Him?”

“Do you want to see him?” Ye Lan asked for his opinion.

Old Master Ye quickly thought it through and said, extremely calmly, “No. The Ye family isn’t a big force in the independent continent. The person Ji Lingfeng wants to see might not be me. He wants to see me because he wants to pass a message to Nian Nian through me.”

Ye Lan thought so, too. However, she could not make the decision on her own for such a big matter. She still had to ask the Old Master for his opinion.

Old Master Ye understood and said very calmly, “Although I don’t know what he wants me to convey to Nian Nian, I won’t help outsiders cheat my family.”

Ye Lan picked up her phone and walked away to call He Lin. “Then I’ll tell them.”

Old Master Ye stopped her. “Have you contacted the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?”

Ye Lan stopped in her tracks and turned around. “I sent them a message, but they haven’t replied to me.”

Other than being worried about Qiao Nian, Old Master Ye also had some family assets to take care of in the independent continent this time. Some of them needed cooperation with other forces through the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

However, the other party did not reply all this time.

Ye Lan knew that he was anxious, but this kind of thing could not be rushed. She nodded and walked to the side to call He Lin back.

Ye Lan took care of the Ye family’s business in Beijing herself. She was definitely a strong woman.

She was extremely efficient and was very skilled in human relationships.

She clearly rejected the Ji family’s invitation, but she spoke beautifully, such that a smart person like He Lin could not find any loopholes. He also tried his best to set up a meal, but he could only give up facing Ye Lan’s firm attitude.

The Ye family did not respond.

He Lin hurriedly reported to Ji Lingfeng, “Patriarch, Elder Ye refuses to see you.”

Ji Lingfeng was looking at an old photo.

As He Lin entered, he slowly opened the drawer and put the photo back in. He looked up and unhurriedly asked, “Mm. What has she been doing recently?”
