2276 Treating Sister Nian as an Ordinary Person

He tried to smooth things over. “Maybe there’s a traffic jam. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Qiao Nian did not say anything and leaned against the side of the desk. When Liang Conglin said to wait, she did not refute it and waited in peace.

Everyone thought that even if Tian Chen’s people encountered a traffic jam, they would be at most half an hour late. Who would have thought that they would wait for two hours?

At first, Liang Conglin could still smooth things over and find excuses for the other party.

Towards the end, he could not find any more excuses.

Two hours was too long. It was clearly an opening gambit, taking someone down a notch, establishing an imposing air or advantageous position for oneself!

The other party’s actions indirectly meant that they did not take the Qing University’s research team seriously at all. That was why they were so late.

“What’s going on?” Qin Si frowned. He did not flare up in front of the elders, but his handsome face did not look good. He wanted to go out and make a call. “I’ll call and ask where they are.”

Qiao Nian stopped him and said with a calm expression, “Let me do it.”

Qin Si looked at her and hesitated.

However, he knew that it was all thanks to Qiao Nian that they could facilitate the cooperation this time. He did not say anything else. “Sorry to trouble you, Sister Qiao.”

Qiao Nian took her cell phone to call Jian Jin.

She had just reached the door when she saw a large group of people walking towards her from the corridor.

They seemed to be people from Tian Chen.

The leader was a middle-aged foreign man in his forties or fifties. Already traces of time could be seen at the corners of his eyes, but there was a restrained glint in his eyes. It was obvious that he had a strong and arrogant personality.

Seeing her, the middle-aged man walked over and asked politely, “Hello, young lady. Is this the principal’s office?”

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and slowly put away her cell phone. “Ah, yes.”

The man turned around and nodded at his subordinates. “This is the place. Let’s go in.”

He did not forget to say “thank you” before going in. He thanked her with a smile on his face, but he never looked at her face as he brushed past her and went in.

Qiao Nian watched them enter before looking up. She clicked her tongue and slowly walked into the office.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Master Cheng.” As soon as the middle-aged man entered, he quickly shook hands with Master Cheng and explained casually, “We encountered something in the hotel and were delayed. I’m really sorry. Does everyone mind?”

As the saying goes, one should not slap a smiling person.

Even though Liang Conglin, Nie Mi, and the others were dissatisfied with the other party’s actions, they still politely went over to express that they did not mind.

The middle-aged man restrained his smile. He raised his hand and gestured. His subordinate opened his briefcase and took out a black laptop.

Then, he looked around the office and said with a smile, “We’re here for the chip cooperation project this time. Since it’s a collaboration, we definitely have to discuss the collaboration project first. I brought the chip, but it’s still incomplete. A small bug hasn’t been resolved. I wonder if you can help solve it. We can continue talking after you resolve this problem.”

Then, he stood to the side and made a “please” gesture.

It was very provocative.
