Chapter 681 - Wanting to Watch Her Get Humiliated

Ye Wangchuan smiled, and his eyes were deep. It seemed like he was the only one who knew what he was thinking. “She’s not just any high school student.”

Gu San had just come back in after making the call, and he agreed entirely.

Indeed.

Miss Qiao was not just any high school student, she was secretly a big boss!

Anyway, he had already taken his hat off to her!

He respected and admired her so much, he could kneel before her!

Although he thought that way, he appeared extremely calm and composed on the surface. He walked in and approached Ye Wangchuan, then reported quietly, “I’ve spoken to Miss Qiao. She’s still having a meal with some elders, and it will take about an hour to get here.”

“An hour? So, we’re going to wait for her here for another hour?” Zhou Wei said unhappily.

Gu San had long treated Qiao Nian as one of them, especially after she came forward to solve the problem of the computer chip. Upon hearing what she said, he turned around and said without a care for her face, “Leader Zhou doesn’t have to wait if you don’t want to, as long as you can solve the problem yourself.”

Zhou Wei went red after hearing that and took a while to regulate her breathing. Trying to conceal the humiliation and embarrassment, she went to sit on the couch. “All of you are praising her to the skies. I want to see just how good she is. She’d better not be a computing amateur.”

Luo Qing wondered whether she was here to make him feel embarrassed all over again. After all, everything that Zhou Wei was saying now, he had said before.

Back then, besides asking what Qiao Nian could possibly know as a high school student, and whether she even knew what a source code was, he had also said something about her being an amateur.

He glanced at Zhou Wei with sympathy and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. He simply took a stool and sat there, waiting for the plot to unfold.

…

Meanwhile, at the hotel restaurant.

Nie Mi and Principal Liang spoke for another half an hour before coming to a decision about the lectures.

Nie Mi revealed an exhausted expression the moment they came to a deal.

The Qing University Principal was sharp enough to spot it. He quickly picked up his wallet and happily went to get the bill.

When he left, Nie Mi looked at the girl who had been waiting for them as they spoke. “Nian Nian, later…”

Qiao Nian took off her earpieces and beat him to it. “I have something on later. I’ll make a trip to the hospital.”

“Hospital?” Nie Mi got serious. “Are you unwell? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll go with you.”

“No.” Qiao Nian felt warm in her heart as she picked up her bag. She explained, “A friend of mine is in the hospital right now. He called me for help, so I’ve got to go down.”

“Oh, I see. You gave me a fright.” Nie Mi felt more at ease now. He remembered that Qiao Nian had received a call midway through the meal. “In that case, I…”

Qiao Nian saw how tired he looked and didn’t think twice to cut him off. “I’ll go over on my own. You should have a good rest in the hotel. I’ll let you know when I’m done.”

Nie Mi was old, after all, and had just taken an early morning flight. Although he didn’t do much besides meet Qiao Nian for a meal in the morning, he was rather tired by now.

Since Qiao Nian had said that, he did not impose it on her to do otherwise. He simply said, “Alright, then. Call me if you need anything. Principal Liang may be leaving tomorrow. I’ll still be in Rao City for a while, and will only return to Beijing after the conference..”
