2293: Sister Nian: Can We Exchange Contact Details?

Sister Nian: Can We Exchange Contact Details?

Martin seemed lost in his memories and did not answer her question directly. "She died a long time ago. She must be gone for almost 20 years now."1

Qiao Nian was almost certain who his "old friend" was!

Martin did not notice the slight change in the girl's expression. He smiled and hid his disappointment. "If she was still alive, the First Research Institute and the independent continent would not be what they are now. It's a pity that she passed away at such a young age."

Qiao Nian clenched her fists under the table, but her expression did not change. Her long eyelashes covered the greenish-black under her eyes as she said in a casual tone, "Oh, that's quite a pity."

Martin did not realize that her tone was off. He only sighed and said, "Yes, it's a pity. It's a pity that she's already passed away. Other than remembering her, we can't do anything for her."

"Mm."

Qiao Nian responded. Light flickered in the depths of her dark eyes, but she suppressed them under absolute darkness.

Martin did not seem to want to continue this topic. He asked Qiao Nian a few questions. He knew that Qiao Nian was now in the Level 8 laboratory and was Shi Fu's last disciple.

He was a little interested and asked Qiao Nian a few questions about the First Research Institute. They continued to chat.

Lu Zhi only occasionally spoke.

It was mostly Martin asking questions.

Qiao Nian answered them one by one, but she also had a concise personality. Her answers were concise and neither servile nor overbearing.

Usually, when Martin spoke to people, most of them appeared fearful and respectful, wishing they could show off more.

Qiao Nian's casual attitude of treating him as an ordinary acquaintance caused his eyes to light up. Martin's initial impression of Qiao Nian was quite good, so he was willing to talk to her more.

But he was quite busy.

Qiao Nian noticed that in the hour they chatted, his cell phone rang seven or eight times. Obviously, he was a busy person.

However, Martin was a gentleman and did not answer them.

Until a certain call came in.

Martin stopped talking and looked at the time, then stood up apologetically and said to them, "It's getting late. I should go back."

With a fair face and clear eyebrows, Lu Zhi said very politely, "I'll get someone to send you back."

Martin waved his hand and smiled. "No need. I have a chauffeur. He's waiting outside. I can go back by myself. There's no need to trouble you."

After saying that, he turned to look at Qiao Nian. A rare kind expression appeared on his face as he said, "Miss Qiao, I had a good chat with you tonight. I look forward to our next meeting~"

The reason Martin said that was because he learned from their conversation that Qiao Nian was the newcomer king of the research institute this time.

He had a good relationship with Feng Yu and understood his personality.

Therefore, Martin guessed that Feng Yu would introduce Qiao Nian to him later. In that case, wouldn't it be their second meeting?

Just as he was about to leave, Qiao Nian suddenly stopped him. "Mr. Martin."

Martin stopped involuntarily and turned around to look at the girl with a puzzled expression. "Is there anything else?"

Qiao Nian paused. Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and looked at him with a clear gaze. "If it's convenient, can we exchange contact details?"
