After Tomorrow

She looked at MO Xiâs persistent call, then tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at the man driving. She pursed her lips and put the phone back down, then leaned against her seat and sent a message to Slim Waist Control, who was far away in Beijing.
[Sun: Help me check the information of the third person who entered the Privy Council this time.]
Seeing that the message had been sent successfully, Qiao Nian pondered for a moment and then sent another message.
[Sun: As soon as possible.]
Ji Ziyinâs black Lincoln stopped outside the First Research Institute.
She had already been expelled and was not qualified to enter the research institute. Therefore, she called Cao Yanhua. After much persuasion, Cao Yanhua finally agreed to come out.
Ji Ziyin then got out of the car and waited.
The research instituteâs neighborhood was relatively sensitive. Guards were posted at all exits to prevent people with ulterior motives from running inside.
Cao Yanhua quickly came out. He did not even take off his lab coat. It was obvious that he did not plan to stay out long.
Ji Ziyin could tell what he meant. Her almond-shaped eyes turned cold, but she quickly put on a mask and greeted him with a faint smile. âSenior Brother
Cao, thank you for coming out.â
An unnatural expression flashed across Cao Yanhuaâs dark face as he stopped in front of her and scratched his head. Then, he awkwardly asked, âWhy did you call me out?â
Ji Ziyin had yet to speak when he looked around as if he did not want anyone to see them and explained, âIâm sorry, I have an experiment to finish and canât be out for too long. Iâll go back inside if you have nothing important to say. We can contact each other by phone or email.â This was obvious disdain!
Ji Ziyinâs smile gradually froze on her oval face.
Fortunately, she experienced great storms before and quickly adjusted her mentality. She took out four tickets from the car and handed them over. âIâll report to the Privy Council the day after tomorrow. These are the guest tickets I got from Elder Leo. If youâre interested, you can come to the Privy Council to take a look.â
Cao Yanhua was a little surprised. He pushed them away. âThey are too precious. I canât take them. You shouldâ¦â
He was about to say âYou should give them to someone elseâ.
âTake them.â Ji Ziyin forcefully stuffed the tickets into his hand and said dignifiedly, âl have the best relationship with you at the research institute. These tickets are a token of my appreciation. There are a total of four tickets inside this envelope. You can keep one for yourself and one for Senior Brother
Han. The remaining two⦠Xu Yi and Shen Qingfeng can go for it. Both of them are quite capable. This is a good opportunity for them to see the world.â
Cao Yanhua looked at the tickets and secretly frowned. He did not understand why Ji Ziyin insisted on giving them to him.
Logically speaking, since Liao Quan and the rest had betrayed the research institute for her, Ji Ziyin should have given the tickets to them. What was the meaning of giving them to him?
Ji Ziyin acted as if she did not see his expression. She pretended to be relaxed and said, âl have to prepare my luggage in the next two days. I still have a lot of things to do. Iâm leaving since the tickets have been delivered.â
Cao Yanhua finally reacted. He hesitated for a moment before saying, âThe ticketsâ¦
âTake them,â Ji Ziyin said sincerely before he could finish.
Cao Yanhua, on the other hand, did not feel good to return them to her. He could only accept it with a strange and uneasy feeling in his heart. âThank you, then..â
