Seeing the same batch of items, Su Daji's gaze lingered on the official robes and appointment letters, her eyes filled with undisguised envy. She sighed and said, "When you gave him that elixir of immortality, although I offered my blessings, I was quite skeptical."
"Given the circumstances and productivity at the time, even if an elixir of immortality existed, what could one person possibly change in the face of the relentless march of time?"
"But to my surprise, he actually managed to get it done."
He then shook out a world map placed next to the armor, gazing at the territory of the Qin Empire, which occupied almost three-quarters of the globe and encompassed the entire Eurasian continent.
"To be able to manage a country like this, Brother Qin has certainly not let down the Dean's bottle of elixir of immortality."
Sensing the envy in Su Daji's tone, Yu Ningning turned to look at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Another year has passed, and you still haven't found the person you're looking for?"
Clearly provoked by Qin Shi Huang's success, Su Daji, who was usually known for her elegant and leisurely demeanor, holding the reins of victory and watching the tigers fight from the sidelines, surprisingly sounded a bit irritated and sighed.
"As early as two years ago, I had a vague feeling that I had already touched the shadow of that person."
"Including the past two years, I have often felt that I am constantly encountering this person, and I feel that he is right beside me, hidden in the place that is most within my reach."
"But after so long, I still can't touch it, I can't find an opportunity to formally face it, meet it, and say hello."
"Perhaps it's just a matter of lacking the right opportunity."
Su Daji's obsession is a psychological one, and Yu Ningning couldn't directly intervene like she had helped Jing Ke and Qin Shi Huang. So she could only comfort her, saying, "Since you've sensed it several times, you must be close to it too."
"Don't rush. Maybe tonight, after a good meal, you'll find the right opportunity."
"By the way, isn't your movie premiere today too?"
How about we have dinner and watch a movie together tonight to celebrate?
"Get lost." Although Su Daji was comforted, she still refused to back down and scolded, "You make it sound so easy. You keep talking about eating well, but I still have to maintain my figure."
Seeing through Su Daji's insincerity, Yu Ningning smiled, wanting to say something more.
Su Daji's phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Zhang Lijuan. She laughed heartily and said, "Little Su, I just flew back from Country D today and landed in City B."
"Do you have time today? Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to dinner? I saw that your movie is about to premiere, so why don't we take this opportunity to get together?"
"This is also a way for everyone to celebrate your success."
Knowing that Zhang Lijuan was usually very busy, she must have made a special effort to make time to see Su Daji this time. Yu Ningning shrugged and joked with a smile, "It seems that our beautiful Su is indeed very busy. Since Teacher Zhang personally invited you, you should go and have dinner with her tonight."
"Since everyone is free tomorrow, let's have another get-together for you and celebrate in a lively way. It's the same thing."
