Chapter 219 Industry Exchange Meeting
The delicate atmosphere between the two was instantly broken.
Zhou Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, holding a gold-plated invitation in his hand, and walked straight towards Ji Bingqian.
"Mr. Ji, this is the invitation to tomorrow's charity dinner."
Ji Bingqian moved his gaze away from Xu Yueqing's face and reached out to take it.
He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yuan, and asked with his voice having returned to its usual calmness.
"How's Chongming?"
Zhou Yuan reported, "Media outlets are still blocking the entrance to the institute. Chongming has been denying everything, claiming that his opponents were behind all the things that happened a few years ago and that he himself would never do such dirty work."
Ji Bingqian's face also darkened, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Dirty things?
Xu Yueqing's hands at her side unconsciously clenched after hearing this.
Ji Bingqian gave instructions to Zhou Yuan.
"For tomorrow's dinner, have someone send an invitation to Chongming as well."
Zhou Yuan nodded immediately without asking any more questions.
"Okay, Mr. Ji."
Seeing that Ji Bingqian had no other instructions, Zhou Yuan took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase.
"Mr. Ji, there's one more thing. Today our people saw Miss Amy go to the vicinity of Haihao Hospital."
As he spoke, he pulled out a few photos from the paper bag and handed them over.
Ji Bingqian took it.
In the photo, Amy was wearing a fisherman's hat and a mask, with only her eyes exposed. She was sitting in the car and looking furtively towards the hospital entrance.
Ji Bingqian only glanced at them twice and ordered, "Continue to send people to follow."
"yes."
Zhou Yuan responded, put away the photo, and then walked out.
The door was closed gently, and they were the only two people left in the office.
In the silence, Ji Bingqian's voice was the first to be heard.
"I remember you're invited to tomorrow's dinner?"
Xu Yueqing raised his head and nodded.
"Professor Chen told me about this two days ago."
Tomorrow's dinner is jointly organized by the Beijing North Research Institute and a charitable children's relief organization. Many entrepreneurs and researchers from different fields will attend, and it can be regarded as a large-scale industry exchange meeting.
When Chen Gang received the notice, he was the first to notify Xu Yueqing to go together.
It is also to enable Xu Yueqing to meet more researchers.
Ji Bingqian nodded, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of guidance in his words.
"It's called a charity dinner, but everyone in the industry knows it's just a large-scale exchange meeting. It's good for you to go. You can meet some experts in the field of intelligence, which will be beneficial to you in the future."
"If Professor Chen is busy catching up with others, you can stay with me and I will lead the way for you."
Xu Yueqing smiled and said in a playful tone: "Are you planning to be my guide?"
Ji Bingqian looked at the cunning glimmer in her eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
Instead of answering directly, he asked an irrelevant question.
"Have you ever seen a firefly?"
This jumpy question made Xu Yueqing's brain freeze for a second.
She nodded subconsciously, and the scenes of summer nights in the countryside when she was a child emerged in her mind.
"I've seen it before. Its tail is very bright, especially at night. It twinkles and shines like a star falling to the ground."
The smile in Ji Bingqian's eyes deepened. He looked at her, his voice low and clear, like the strings of a cello gently plucking in her ears.
"Tomorrow, I will be that firefly."
Xu Yueqing's heart seemed to be hit by something neither light nor heavy.
She looked at Ji Bingqian for a full two seconds before she understood the tenderness hidden behind these three words.
firefly.
