963 Encountering an Acquaintance In the Bar

Even though the researchers felt uncomfortable, they still agreed to Zi Yi’s request. After all, they were sent here on orders and if they were unable to enter Zi Yi’s aviation research center, they would not be able to return to the country.

“I’d like to see what she has that we aren’t aware of!”

The moment Zi Yi left, the researchers started to express their dissatisfaction.

“We have been studying spaceships for so many years and made Country D the top in terms of spaceship technology. She’s just a child with a little skill and she’s already thinking of commanding and ordering us around. She needs to reflect on herself and whether she has the ability to do so or not.”

“I wonder what Major General Runge was thinking? We are all capable of doing what Zi Yi knows. Why did he send us here?”

“That’s right. We are on the verge of successfully developing the technology for humans to reach and land on several major planets. Is Major General Runge planning to hand over the technology to them?”

“Let’s have a look first. Didn’t she say that the first batch of trainees would be ending their training in ten days? I’d like to see what kind of training they went through.”

“The technology in their country is decades behind that of ours. I feel that it’s more beneficial for us to provide training to those people.”

“Oh well, we can’t help it. Ultimately, we’re here on orders.”

All of them were thinking about the same thing deep down inside. They’ll just pretend and casually attend the training for a day or so.

Subsequently, they would reveal their capabilities. Wouldn’t Zi Yi be then forced to allow them access to the core laboratory in the end?

…

After Zi Yi finished the conversation with the researchers, she did not linger and took her leave.

She was well aware that the researchers were feeling dissatisfied. However, she did not wish to explain too much at this point in time.

After she left the private room, the bar was already particularly crowded by this time.

Little Loli followed behind her and asked, “Sister, do you want to stay here and hang out for a short while?”

Zi Yi checked the time. It was going to be dinner time soon. “No, I’m going back home to eat.”

With that, she headed towards the exit.

However, after she took a few steps, someone called her name from the side.

Zi Yi turned her head to look. She was a little surprised to see the person who called out to her. “Situ Qin, why are you here?”

Situ Qin smiled at her and said, “I came here with my friends to have fun.”

Having said that, she pointed in a certain direction.

Zi Yi looked in the direction where she pointed.

Situ Qin had pointed to a booth.

Inside the booth sat four guys and a girl. They were all looking in their direction. When they saw Zi Yi looking at them, they revealed excited expressions.

Zi Yi nodded in their direction before she turned back to Situ Qin.

Situ Qin said, “They are my partners. We opened a LAN shop.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “That sounds good.”

Situ Qin said with a smile, “Indeed. This kind of work is very flexible. I can basically work from home, take care of my Grandfather and earn some money too at the same time. It’s much better than doing nothing.”

Zi Yi thought of Situ Feng and asked, “Your Brother’s salary should be good. In fact, you don’t have to work.”

Situ Feng was following Lu Yunxiao and Zi Yi heard from Lu Jingye before that the Lu Family’s secret guard’s salary and treatment were pretty good.

Situ Qin smiled shyly. “My Brother’s money is earned with his life at stake. I have to save up for him so that he’ll be able to marry in the future.”

Zi Yi smiled after hearing that. “You can give me a call if you need anything in the future. If your LAN shop were to encounter any trouble, you can also look for me.”

“No need, no need. We are only a small business, there’s no need to trouble you.”

Since Situ Qin had said so, Zi Yi did not insist either. She asked about her Grandfather’s current condition.

“Grandfather is in good health. He likes to walk around M.Uni every day and he also got acquainted with many university teachers and professors.”

“Not bad. It’s also good to let him work out.”

“Mhm. Then… I shall not bother you anymore.”

“Ok. Have fun with your friends. I’ll have your expenses waived.”

“Oh, there’s no need for that!”

Zi Yi did not say anything else and walked away with a smile.

However, she still waived their bill when she was making her way out.

After Zi Yi left, Situ Qin walked back to where her friends were gathered.

Her friends were looking at her with excited expressions.

“Situ Qin, I didn’t expect you to be acquainted with Boss Zi.” Zhang Ya was so excited that she pulled Situ Qin to sit down. “Tell us, how did you meet Boss Zi?”

Situ Qin gave them a brief explanation. “Miss Zi is my Grandfather’s attending doctor.”

“Wow… Situ Qin, what kind of background does your family have? You even got Boss Zi to treat your Grandfather.”

Situ Qin subconsciously felt that she cannot reveal her family situation. Her Brother was currently working under the Third Young Master Lu and he was involved with dangerous work. If she revealed it and someone with ulterior motives were to know of it, wouldn’t it cause harm to her brother?

In the end, she gave a brief explanation. “Didn’t I tell you before? I’m from the countryside. It just so happened that Miss Zi was treating patients with an incurable disease in one of the affiliated hospitals of the Medical University. We met there and we requested her to help treat my Grandfather. It could be because my Grandfather’s illness was considered a tough one to treat, so she agreed.”

“So that’s the case. Your Grandfather is so lucky.”

“That’s right. Miss Zi is the benefactor of our family.”

“Then…” Zhang Ya’s eyes flashed and she continued asking, “Since Boss Zi is treating your Grandfather, you must be in contact frequently, right?”

“Not really. Miss Zi’s medical skills are superb and she has only seen my Grandfather a few times. Right now, my Grandfather only needs to slowly recuperate.”

The others quietly made eye contact with each other.

Even though Situ Qin said that, they still felt that she must be close to Zi Yi.

If Zi Yi were to casually say something and help them, their shop would definitely be the most popular one.

When the time comes, wouldn’t money be rolling in?

At the thought of this, they started acting more enthusiastically toward Situ Qin.

…

By the time Zi Yi returned to the villa, Lu Jingye had yet to come home.

Zi Yi ended up following Mrs. Lu around and watched her prepare milk pudding for dessert in the small kitchen.

Mrs. Lu passed her the freshly made pineapple pudding and said, “I had someone make a trip down to the countryside to catch an old pigeon to make soup with. Tonight, you and Jingye should drink more. Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight in just a few months.”

Zi Yi buttered up to Mrs. Lu while she ate the pudding. “Mom, the soup you prepare is the yummiest. I want to drink two bowls tonight.”

Mrs. Lu was delighted deep down inside. She then fed a piece of pastry she had made to Zi Yi.

Lu Jingye who was standing by the kitchen door was also smiling. Just as he was prepared to head upstairs to wash up, Zi Yi turned around.

Zi Yi saw Lu Jingye standing by the door and her eyes were beaming with joy. “Ah Jing, you’re home.”

With that, she held the pudding and came over.

Lu Jingye nodded his head and said, “I’ll go wash up first.”

Zi Yi followed him. While walking, she scooped up a spoonful of pudding and fed it to him.

Lu Jingye ate it and said, “It’s too sweet.”

“How is it sweet? It’s clearly pineapple flavored.”

Zi Yi knew that he was not fond of sweet food and so, she did not continue feeding him.

Both of them made their way upstairs together.
