1709 They Might Think You Know Someone From Bright Gate
“This morning, Master Cheng and I received an invitation from the Ji family inviting us to their banquet.
“However, the other party has a condition. You have to go with us.”
Nie Mi was a little confused.
“You used to live around the city and never came out. I don’t understand why the other party insisted that you go. It’s probably related to the auction yesterday.”
It wasn’t as if Nie Mi and the others didn’t have any connections in the Independent Continent. After hearing some news, he said to Qiao Nian in frustration, “I heard that the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has been captured. They might think that this matter has something to do with you, so they want to see you.”
The girl had been holding the bottle cap in her hand as she listened to him. The arrogance in her eyes was restrained as she heard what he said. She raised her eyebrows slightly and inadvertently revealed a faint light, but she did not interrupt.
Nie Mi didn’t believe that Torre’s matter had anything to do with Qiao Nian at all. He only thought that it was a coincidence. He looked at her and asked seriously, “Nian Nian, I’ve discussed it with Master Cheng. We both think that this is an opportunity.
“The Ji family’s status in the Independent Continent is extremely high. I haven’t come into contact with anyone on their level yet. To be able to attend a banquet of this level at your age, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!
“Even if you don’t know anyone through the banquet in the end, you can at least meet the top circle of the Independent Continent.”
Nie Mi only analyzed the pros and cons with her briefly. He had no intention of forcing Qiao Nian to choose. He asked her gently, “Nian Nian, what do you think?”
He turned to look at Master Cheng, then turned back and said to the girl, “We’ve agreed to follow your decision. If you want to go, we’ll go. If you don’t want to go, we won’t go. Don’t feel any psychological burden. The other party is mainly inviting you, and we’re just here to bring you along. It doesn’t matter if you go or not.”
This was indeed a rare opportunity.
They were probably the only ones on the team who had received this invitation.
Logically speaking, they had no reason to reject such an opportunity.
However, Nie Mi, Master Cheng, and the others had already discussed it. It was up to Qiao Nian.
If Qiao Nian wanted to go, she could. If she didn’t, they wouldn’t go.
After all, at their age, they didn’t care much about fame and fortune. If they were fated, they would embrace it. If they weren’t fated, they wouldn’t harp on it.
Coupled with the other people in the scientific research team, such as Jiang Zongjin’s younger generation of middle-aged people, most of them had the same values as him.
Buddhism!
He had the same thoughts as them.
If she wanted to go, they would go. If she didn’t go, they wouldn’t be disappointed.
Nie Mi’s eyes were gentle as he asked her softly, “So, you can slowly think about whether you want to go or not. We came to look for you to tell you about this.”
“What time is it?”
Qiao Nian’s faint voice sounded as soon as he finished speaking.
Nie Mi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “The day after tomorrow.”
“The day after tomorrow?”
Calculating the time, Qiao Nian capped the bottle and put it back on the table. Then she looked up at him and said, “I’ll go.”
The other party had already invited her.
They even invited her by name.
Qiao Nian couldn’t find a reason to refuse!
She would go.
Why not?
Coincidentally, she also wanted to see them.
“Huh?” She agreed so readily that Nie Mi couldn’t keep up for a moment. He was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the girl had indeed agreed to go, he rubbed his nose. “Then, I’ll tell them that we’re going.”
