2054: Prelude to a Slap, He Lin Received a Phone Call

Prelude to a Slap, He Lin Received a Phone Call

"I know." Ji Ziyin acted sensibly the entire time.0

Her sensibility was a stark contrast to Qiao Nian's 'insensibility'.

Ji Hongyuan originally looked down on her identity as a collateral branch family member. At this moment, his expression couldn't help but soften as he strode into the hotel.

He was one of the few people in the Ji family who had the right to speak.

At Ji Hongyuan's arrival, Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin's parents heaved a sigh of relief. Joy appeared on everyone's faces.

Ji Xiao brought Ji Ziyin's parents over and warmly invited Ji Hongyuan in.

This scene was originally harmonious.

Everyone had achieved their goal.

At this moment, He Lin's phone suddenly rang.

"I'll take this call." He Lin stopped in his tracks and took out his phone. He looked down at the phone number and informed Ji Hongyuan in a hurry.

What he meant was that he would go to the side and answer the call.

However, Ji Hongyuan stopped and said, "It's fine. Pick it up."

Ji Hongyuan stopped.

Ji Ziyin, Ji Xiao, and the others also stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall and looked at He Lin.

Feeling a headache coming, He Lin pressed his lips.

However, since Ji Hongyuan had already spoken, he couldn't reject him. He could only put the phone to his ear and answer the call in a lowered voice. "Hello?"

…

He Lin picked up the call.

Ji Hongyuan didn't just stand there. He asked Ji Ziyin about the research institute.

Ji Ziyin answered his questions one by one.

Ji Hongyuan looked at her even more gently, and his tone softened a lot.

He said, "This time, I wanted to invite Dean Feng to your birthday banquet, but unfortunately, he doesn't have time to come."

Ji Hongyuan continued calmly, "It's fine if he doesn't have time to come this time. Next time, I'll see if I can invite him to a meal alone. I'll bring you along. You have to perform well."

Ji Ziyin was clearly overjoyed, but she restrained herself. However, her eyes were bright and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Thank you, Sixth Elder."

"Yeah."

Ji Hongyuan was even more satisfied with her 'sensibility' and discernment. He added, "Xie Xinyao from the Xie family has already entered the Level 8 laboratory. In the future, you'll definitely be someone who will enter the Level 8 laboratory. It's just that she entered the research institute a few years earlier than you. You might still need a year or two to catch up. However, with the family backing you up, you'll take a shorter time than her."

If Ji Ziyin could enter the Level 8 laboratory in two years, she would have set a record in the First Research Institute. She would become the person who entered the Level 8 laboratory in the shortest time!

Of course, Ji Ziyin's status was obvious.

She had the Ji family as her backer.

The people from the First Research Institute had already discussed in private when she would enter the Level 8 laboratory. They tacitly agreed that she would refresh history.

Ji Ziyin couldn't hide her excitement, and her eyes were filled with joy. She pursed her lips and smiled reservedly. "I'll work hard."

"The Ji family will depend on you in the future." Ji Hongyuan patted her shoulder, publicly expressing his stance.

Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin's parents looked surprised.

No one expected Ji Hongyuan to do this.

After all, Ji Hongyuan was famous for protecting the direct line of descent. Although Ji Nan didn't enter the First Research Institute according to the family's requirements and wasn't interested in black gunpowder, with a stubborn and conservative person like Ji Hongyuan around, Ji Ziyin's status in the Ji family was actually not high. At least, she wasn't as high up as Ji Nan.
