In the elevator.
The old man with the hooked nose kept the business card that Ji Ziyin had given him.
Walking out of the elevator expressionlessly, he took out his room card and went towards his room.
The person accompanying him called out to him.
âElder Leo, the consensus from the Privy Councilâs discussion is Qiao Nian, not Ji Ziyin. Donât mix it up.â
With the door already opened, Leonard turned around and looked at him. He felt unhappy. âI know the Privy Councilâs decision. You donât have to remind me.â
âThatâs good.â The other person was a neutral party, so he did not want to argue with him. He smiled and opened the door to his room.
Leonard watched as he walked in with ease and felt even more upset. He looked at the room opposite and said coldly, âDonât forget that everyone made this decision because they did not know she was from Country Z.â
He pulled a long face. âSince sheâs unwilling to change her nationality, everyone will have to reconsider whether sheâs suitable to enter the Privy Council!â
The man was a little surprised by his reaction. He nodded calmly. âAs long as itâs the Privy Councilâs decision, I have no objections.â
Leonard felt powerless as if he had punched cotton.
He did not want to offend the neutral party, so he suppressed his displeasure and entered his room, slamming the door behind him.
Then, he immediately connected the computer to the Internet and contacted the Privy Council. He told them what happened to him at the First Research Institute today.
In the end, he said in an extremely displeased tone, âOur Privy Council has never recruited Easterners before. If sheâs unwilling to change her nationality to that of the independent continent, we should switch her out!
âIâve met her. Sheâs too arrogant. A person with such a personality is not suitable for the Privy Council. Our Privy Council doesnât need such a character. âShe doesnât even have the basic rules and doesnât respect the Privy Council. I really donât understand why weâre insisting on her. Just because sheâs from the Ji family?
âIf itâs because of this, itâs not as if sheâs their only choice! Isnât there a ready-made candidate?â
He had turned on a conference video. On the screen were more than ten people sitting in the meeting room of the Privy Councilâs headquarters.
The hooked-nosed elder was furious. He did not hide his temper and finished speaking angrily.
Then, a silver-haired old man said indifferently, âWhoâs the ready-made candidate youâre talking about? Ji Ziyin?â
Leonard frowned, and his eagle eyes darkened. âIâm just saying that the Ji family has one more person.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMm.â
The silver-haired old man continued indifferently, âThe Privy Council only recognizes the direct descendants of the Ji family. As for those unrelated side branches, we donât recognize them.â
Leonard was instantly silenced.
However, Qiao Nianâs attitude still stimulated his nerves. âBut sheâs not willing to change her citizenship to that of the independent continent for the Privy Council! Do we want an Asian face to enter the Privy Council or someone with their blood?â
He really could not accept an Easterner entering the Privy Council.
The Privy Council was a noble place. How could they let an inferior bloodline lower their status?
However, the silver-haired old man narrowed his eyes and said without any emotion, âDonât forget that I also have half of the Eastern bloodline that you look down on.â
Leonard seemed to be extremely afraid of him. His entire body stiffened, and then he immediately tried to smooth things over. âYou know thatâs not what I meant..â
