1677: Suddenly Letting Them in Now

Suddenly Letting Them in Now

"Tell Elder Nie to come back. We'll discuss the countermeasures when we return to the room. We'll only make a fool of ourselves if we make a fuss now."2

Liang Conglin took a look around. Indeed, many people in the lobby were looking in their direction. He rubbed his temples and said, "I understand. I'll call Elder Nie."

…

Qiao Nian listened from the side. She basically understood what was going on.

She had never thought that the Qi family had joined the Independent Continent's Chamber of Commerce Alliance. She did not expect that even though the Qi family was finished, the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would still jump out to make their presence known.

She leaned against the wall and lazily bent her long legs. Her lips curled into a faint smile. With one hand in her pocket, she used her other hand to send a message to Slim Waist Control.

A few minutes later, Liang Conglin returned with Nie Mi.

Nie Mi's expression was very bad. He pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word. Clearly, he was so angry that he could not speak.

Master Cheng patted his shoulder silently.

Then, he looked up and said to the others, including Qiao Nian, "Let's go back!"

Everyone was depressed. They were no longer as happy and relaxed as when they called Qiao Nian and asked her to come down to attend the cocktail party.

Just as everyone was about to walk towards the elevator…

Suddenly, a voice stopped them.

"Honored guests, please wait a moment!" The person who chased after them was the doorman who had stopped Nie Mi from entering.

The doorman seemed to have changed into a different person. After catching up, he faced everyone's respectful attitude. "I'm sorry, you can go in now."

"Huh?" Nie Mi was confused by his inconsistent attitude. He didn't understand what they were doing.

He subconsciously looked at Master Cheng. "Master Cheng, you think…"

Master Cheng didn't understand what was going on, either. They could suddenly enter now. Didn't they say that President Torre of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance had announced that he wouldn't let them in?

They all stood rooted to the ground.

Seeing this, the doorman hurriedly apologized to them. "Dear distinguished guests, I'm very sorry. I was rash just now. The cocktail party has already begun. Everyone, hurry up and go in!"

Master Cheng and Nie Mi looked at each other.

Master Cheng spoke first. "Let's… let's go in!"

With Nie Mi's fiery temper, if such a thing happened in the country, he would definitely not enter.

However, this was the Independent Continent, not Beijing.

He noticed the girl's expression out of the corner of his eye. Thinking of his motive for coming to the Independent Continent—introduce a few people to Qiao Nian.

He endured it and agreed. He said in a muffled voice, "Since it's like this, let's go in."

Everyone was confused. They followed the doorman back into the cocktail party.

Only Qiao Nian knew what was going on. She casually put her hands and phone back into her pocket and followed Nie Mi and the others without saying a word…

The lights in the hall were bright and dazzling.

Men in suits and leather shoes were chatting. The women also looked fashionable.

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and glanced around. Realizing that it was no different from a cocktail party in Beijing, she lost interest and didn't look around anymore. She basically followed Nie Mi and the others, keeping a low profile.

On the other side of the banquet.

A middle-aged man was surrounded by many people. He was like the moon surrounded by stars. The middle-aged man took good care of himself. His blue eyes were a little gray upon a closer look. He looked like a smart and capable person.
