1930: Afraid of Offending Ji Ziyin and the Ji Family Behind Her

Afraid of Offending Ji Ziyin and the Ji Family Behind Her

"Alright, everyone, stop what you're doing." The person who had brought Qiao Nian in was a teacher from the research institute. Although she wasn't at the level of a person-in-charge, she was still an old person in the research institute. She was responsible for guiding new students.2

She clapped her hands and gestured for everyone in the large laboratory to look over.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, "A new member has arrived today. I'm sure you've heard her name."

This old person knew Zhou Zhou and was usually on good terms with her.

Zhou Zhou had also told her in private to take care of her friend.

She smiled and waved at the girl beside her, signaling her to come over.

Qiao Nian pursed her lips and lowered her gaze as she walked towards her. She stood still beside her, unable to restrain her bandit aura.

The teacher nodded at her kindly, then turned around and said to the dozens of people in front, "Let me introduce you."

Then, she pointed to Qiao Nian and introduced gently, "This is the new member of the recruitment test this time. Her name is Qiao Nian, and she's from Country Z. She specializes in black gunpowder research… You've probably heard of her results in the recruitment test. Her results are very good. She's a talented person. New members of your team usually have their own groups. Which group is still short of people? You can get this treasure now~"

There was a noisy discussion in the large laboratory.

Everyone sized up the girl and began to whisper to each other.

The teacher waited for them. At the same time, she turned around and briefly explained to Qiao Nian about the grouping system for newcomers.

What she said was similar to what Zhou Zhou had said yesterday.

Qiao Nian nodded calmly. She had no objections.

However, no one raised their hands after a full ten minutes.

The teacher was a little surprised and asked again, "Huh? Don't any of you need a team member? All of you don't need more people?"

There were people discussing in the large laboratory, but no one raised their hands.

Qiao Nian's results in this recruitment test were too heaven-defying. Everyone in the research institute had heard of the name of the newcomer king.

At the same time, they heard something else.

For example, Qiao Nian had crushed the Ji family representative to enter the research institute. He was Ji Hongfeng, who Ji Ziyin really wanted to push into the research institute.

Hence, although Qiao Nian had passed the assessment with her own abilities, everyone was worried that they would offend Ji Ziyin and the Ji family behind her if they picked her…

The Ji family had a certain amount of authority in the research institute.

No one was willing to offend them for a newcomer.

Therefore, when the teacher asked which group was short of people, no group was willing to accept her.

"Are you really not short of people?" The teacher was a little anxious. Then, she emphasized again, "Qiao Nian is shockingly talented. One more person in the team will be one more person to help. Isn't at least one group short of people?"

Still, no one indicated that they were short of people.

It seemed that every team was not short of manpower.

Even the teacher didn't know how to handle the current situation.

This… Qiao Nian had been ostracized so badly the moment she entered. How would she live in the research institute in the future?
