The next day after Zi Yi regained consciousness, she went down to the Dou Family’s residence.

When they saw that she was really perfectly fine, all of them were relieved.

“Grandpa, see, I told you that nothing would happen to me.”

Elder Dou looked at her with a kind smile and said, “It’s good that you’re ok.”

Everyone sat down together and talked about the subsequent development of the babies.

The madams felt intrigued and expressed their intention to find time to visit the two babies.

“The babies will be staying together at my parent’s place. You can head over to their place to visit the babies.”

When they heard what she said, the Third Madam asked, “Yiyi, are you really planning to head to Country D?”

Zi Yi originally did not have plans to go, but right now, she had no choice but to do so.

She nodded her head. “Yes. I’ll go and check out the development of robots in other countries.”

“You’re not going together with your Third Uncle?”

“Nope.”

It should be said that not only would she not be tagging along with Professor Dou to the competition, but she also would not even be going with Lu Jingye.

However, she obviously would not say that to the Dou Family as she was afraid they would be worried about her safety.

At around noon, Zi Yi suddenly received Mr. Qin’s phone call. He was asking if she had time in the afternoon for her to come and look for him at the Supreme Administration Building, but only if she was available.

Zi Yi did not think much of it and agreed.

After lunch, a car with a special license plate stopped outside the Dou Family’s residence.

Following that, a man wearing outerwear with an epaulet on his shoulders knocked on the door

After the Dou Family members invited him inside, the first thing he did was to greet Elder Dou. “Headmaster Dou, good afternoon. The authorities sent me here to fetch Miss Zi and my surname is He. You can call me Little He.”

Even though the Dou Family members were slightly surprised, they still enthusiastically invited him inside for a seat.

Little He rejected their invitation and said, “A few higher-ups are currently waiting for Miss Zi and I am acting on orders to come and fetch her over.”

Having said that, he turned to look at Zi Yi. “Miss Zi, please.”

Zi Yi stood up and said to Elder Dou, “Grandpa, I’ll be off then.”

Elder Dou nodded his head and said to her, “You’re still young, there’s no need for you to take on everything by yourself.”

“Grandpa, I understand.”

Following that, Zi Yi followed Officer He and walked outside.

The car drove directly to the entrance of the Supreme Administration Building before stopping.

At the same time when their car was parked, another car did the same thing.

Zi Yi tilted her head and took a look. She just so happened to see Lu Jingye alighting from the car. She was immediately delighted and hastily alighted to walk over to the man who was headed in her direction.

“Ah Jing, you’re also here?”

“Mhmm.”

After Lu Jingye made his way over, both of them headed to the entrance.

As soon as they reached the entrance, someone came out to greet them.

“Mr. Lu, Miss Zi. Please follow me.”

Both of them followed the person who came out to fetch them and headed upstairs.

The building was very spacious, with a total of five floors. On each floor, there were many different offices.

The three of them headed up to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor was somewhat different as compared to the other four floors. There were noticeably fewer offices and the names on the nameplates outside each office were all capable of shocking anyone in the country.

If it were someone else in this situation, they would start having feelings of fear deep down when walking to this point.

The person who was leading them originally wanted to show some concern so that they would not be too nervous. However, when he turned around, he noticed that both Lu Jingye and Zi Yi had calm expressions. They did not look as though they were nervous and he could not help but nodding approvingly in his heart.

Sure enough, they were individuals who were capable of achieving great things.

The three of them continued walking until they reached the door with the words, ‘Conference Room’ written on it.

The person leading them knocked on the door before he opened it and said to Lu Jingye and Zi Yi, “The leaders are waiting for you in the conference room. Please head inside.”

Just then, Lu Jingye raised his hand and held Zi Yi’s hand for a second before he quickly let her go.

After that, both of them made their way inside.

What they were faced with was an oval conference table that could seat more than a dozen people.

There were currently only four people seated there.

The man seated at the top was roughly in his sixties and had strong facial features. His eyes were deep and sharp while giving off a natural aura of someone of high authority. It made people unconsciously feel a sense of awe toward him.”

On his left side was Mr. Qin while two other people were on his right.

When Lu Jingye and Zi Yi made their way inside, Mr. Qin waved at them with a smile. “Little Lu, Little Zi, come over and have a seat.”

Following that, he pointed to the two seats next to him.

Both of them made their way over and Mr. Qin introduced the people to Zi Yi. (Lu Jingye knew who the people present were.)

The first person he introduced was the man seated in the middle seat. “This is Marshal Nangong.”

Lu Jingye said, “Hello, Marshal Nangong.”

Zi Yi followed him and greeted them.

Marshal Nangong nodded at the two of them and the first thing he asked was, “How is Old Lu’s health in recent days?”

Lu Jingye replied, “Grandfather’s body is much better as compared to some time back. He’s currently recuperating well.”

Marshal Nangong nodded his head and shifted his gaze to Zi Yi.

He thought that such a young lady like Zi Yi would feel fear at the sight of him. However, he did not expect Zi Yi to smile at him after they made eye contact. “Nangong Yu resembles you a little.”

Marshal Nangong was momentarily stunned before he curved his lips and said, “That kid mentioned you a few times before. He has always hoped that you could join his experimental project.”

Zi Yi smiled in response and did not answer.

Marshal Nangong did not get angry either.

Mr. Qin then introduced the other two individuals to Zi Yi.

“This is Mr. Song, and this is Mr. Yuan. They are responsible for weapons and finance respectively.”

Both of them sized up Zi Yi. Even though they had heard about her often in the past and seen her photos on the internet, they still got a shock when they saw Zi Yi in person today.

The three of them exchanged greetings.

Mr. Qin said, “We invited you two here today to discuss with you about…”

…

By the time Zi Yi and Lu Jingye came out of the office building, it was already two hours later.

Mr. Qin was walking next to them.

When they were walking down the stairs, Mr. Qin suddenly asked, “What does Little Zi think of Qin Ze?”

He then added and said, “Little Zi, there’s no need for you to hold back, just telling me the truth will do.”

Zi Yi never even had the thought of holding back and said straightforwardly, “Your son has very thick skin.”

Mr Qin chuckled. “…Pft! What else?”

“He is knowledgeable in the professional field and is pretty good, but he has been subjected to plenty of limitations.”

“Yes, he’s still too…” Mr. Qin originally wanted to say that Qin Ze was still too young. However, at the thought that Zi Yi was even younger than his son, he could not get himself to say it out loud. He skipped the topic and said, “Then do you think he is qualified to be your assistant?”

Zi Yi looked at Mr. Qin with an intense look.

Mr. Qin looked at her and smiled gently. “You can actually bring him around for the following period of time. Even though he’s a little… thick-skinned, he’s resistant to beatings. If you’re in a bad mood, you can beat him up as and when you like. Or perhaps if you encounter a dangerous situation, you can get him to step forward. He’s quite smart during certain situations.”

Zi Yi: “…”

Was Mr. Qin digging a hole for his son or was he trying to praise his son?

“Dad, Zi Yi, Mr. Lu.”

Speaking of trouble, trouble came.
