Chapter 397 - 397: Even More Perfect Than Mr. Qin Described!
Xi Shijin’s gaze, upon entering, immediately turned towards Xing Jia.
Is this the Nyan who’s been making such a name for herself these past few days?
Surprisingly, she does bear some resemblance to his disciple, Nan Yan!
Xi Shijin was shocked, and even his heartbeat momentarily became somewhat chaotic.
He began to suspect whether Nan Yan, without his knowledge, had become friends with the woman in front of him and had given her the formula for the T-2 reagent she had developed.
This speculation made Xi Shijin feel really gloomy.
That little scoundrel turned out to be a sly fox!
She had been keeping something up her sleeve all along, leaving Xi Shijin in a difficult position now, struggling under immense pressure, trying to decipher the manuscript she had left behind.
However, he concealed his emotions well, and the sudden surge of anger was only momentary. But the three people in the room were not ordinary, and they didn’t miss his change.
However, they didn’t show it.
Without waiting for Qin Lu to introduce her, Xing Jia stood up directly, extended her right hand to Nan Yan, and with a smile, politely said, “Hmm, I’m Nyan, and you must be Nan Yan, the one Mr. Qin has been mentioning to me.”
“You’re a really beautiful girl, even more perfect than Mr. Qin described!”
Is her invisible flattery hitting the mark?
After all, this is the future young lady!
She absolutely must establish a good rapport with her and leave a positive impression!
Nan Yan also extended her hand and shook hers.
She smiled faintly and said, “Nyan, thank you for the medicine you gave me last time. I’ve been so busy, which is why I haven’t had the chance to come to the M country sooner. If I had the time, I would have visited you long ago!”
“No problem, it’s just a medicine. If you ever need it again, just let me know. I can guarantee the supply of the potion on my end.”
Xi Shijin had been silently observing the interaction between Nan Yan and Xing Jia.
When he heard those words, he finally believed that Nan Yan and Nyan had a good relationship.
This should be because of Mr. Qin…
Xi Shijin’s gaze then dared to fall upon the man sitting beside Xing Jia.
He had only heard of Mr. Qin’s name before but seeing him in person was a first.
As he looked at Qin Lu, Qin Lu casually raised his eyes and looked at him.
With just one glance, Xi Shijin felt as if his mind had been struck with a heavy blow.
Although Qin Lu’s expression seemed calm, those deep and chilling eyes seemed to possess a sharpness that could almost see through people.
In addition to his own cold and formidable aura, he left a deep sense of intimidation.
This was almost on par with the pressure he had experienced when meeting the president!
The key point was that he was still young, in his early twenties, and already possessed such an imposing presence. Given time to continue growing, he might become truly extraordinary!
What a terrifying man!
On the other side, Nan Yan and Xing Jia deliberately put on a show in front of Xi Shijin, further convincing him of Nyan’s identity.
Xi Shijin dared not look at Qin Lu again but extended an invitation to Xing Jia,
saying, “Miss Nyan, I sincerely invite you to join my research institute. Feel
free to state your terms, and as long as I can manage it, I will definitely make it
happen!”
His experiments could not afford any more delays.
On the president’s side, he also needed to deliver results.
Otherwise, he might still face the possibility of having all his honors revoked and being expelled from the national research institute.
Xing Jia was waiting for this moment.
So, she pretended to consider for a moment and then nodded in agreement, saying, “Since Yanyan is at your research institute, I’ll do it for her sake and join your institute.”
“But I’m not one to be tied down, and I don’t like staying in one place all the time. So, don’t write a formal employee contract. I’ll come as a special appointee.”
Xi Shijin didn’t hesitate and replied, “That works too. We’ll proceed according to Miss Nyan’s requirements.” “Then, let’s have a pleasant collaboration.” “Yes, let’s work together happily!”
Xing Jia graciously shook hands with Xi Shijin.
Xi Shijin had some tact and could sense that Qin Lu wasn’t welcoming his continued presence. So, he stood up promptly.
“Nan Yan, you and Mr. Qin can chat with Miss Nyan. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll head back now. When you’re ready to leave, you can call my assistant, and he’ll come to pick you up.” Qin Lu calmly stated, “No need, I’ll take her.”
Xi Shijin’s heart tightened once again.
What was the relationship between Nan Yan and Qin Lu, after all?
It seemed that he would need to invest more thought into Nan Yan…
After Xi Shijin left, Xing Jia immediately stood up and greeted Nan Yan with a slight bow. “Miss Nan, hello, I’m Xing Jia. I may have offended you in the past, and I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
Xing Jia had heard many stories about Nan Yan from Wu Yue.
Before meeting her, she had been wondering just how exceptional a girl must be to capture the young master’s heart.
Moreover, the information she had received from Wu Yue, the future young lady, was not only beautiful but also versatile, almost like a little fairy. Now, seeing her in person, Xing Jia was already captivated by her beauty.
She was truly stunning!
Previously, with Xi Shijin around, she had to maintain her composure and suppress her excitement, which was almost suffocating her.
Nan Yan: “It’s alright, just treat me the same as before.”
Xing Jia’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at Nan Yan’s face, eagerly asking, “Miss Nan, you’re so beautiful, and your skin is so flawless. Could you teach me how to take care of my skin?”
Nan Yan:
The atmosphere suddenly shifted, and she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
However, she patiently explained to Xing Jia how to care for her skin and even mentioned that she would give her a set of skincare products she personally made when they returned.
After her rebirth, Nan Yan had not used any commercial skincare products since taking over this body. Traditional Chinese skincare methods were more effective than any skincare products on the market. They were natural, without any burden on the skin.
Not only was she using them, but her friends, as well as Old Madam Qin and Qin Shiyu, were also using them.
Qin Shiyu had even stopped using the exorbitantly priced beauty packages from the beauty salon after switching to the skincare products Nan Yan provided and had not returned since.
“Thank you, Miss Nan!” Xing Jia was thrilled.
It seemed that the future young lady was indeed as approachable as Wu Yue had described!
Nan Yan smiled and said, “No need to be polite with me. In the future, when you run out of your skincare products, just let me know.”
“Okay, okay!”
Qin Lu watched the little girl he had been thinking about day and night for the past three days, chatting happily with someone else, feeling a bit choked up. He rubbed his temples in resignation, then reached out and gently took hold of Nan Yan’s hand, diverting her attention.
His tender, affectionate eyes met hers as he softly asked, “Yanyan, have you discovered something?”
“Yes.”
As they got into the real business, Nan Yan’s expression turned serious. “It’s not suitable to discuss it here. Brother, let’s talk about it at your place.”
“Alright.’
After settling the bill, the three of them headed to the Lantis Hotel under Qin Lu’s company.
Once they were in the room and seated on the sofa, Nan Yan picked up Qin Lu’s laptop and inserted her USB drive, accessing the contents inside.
“Xi Shijin has been conducting human genetic experiments, and this experiment has been ongoing for at least a dozen years..”
