Bai Qianmo settled Gu Shengling and Zhu Qinghan in, and Yin Ling, ignoring Gu Jingyu's dissatisfaction, quickly moved over.
With Yin Ling and Gu Shengling present, Bai Qianmo was temporarily relieved about Zhu Qinghan's safety.
After leaving Gu Jingyu's residence, I glanced at the time; it was only five o'clock in the afternoon.
She's been busy with company matters lately and rarely has time to relax this early.
"Miss Bai, where are we going next?"
Bai Qianmo glanced calmly out the car window, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the research institute."
"That's unfortunate. Seventh Master had an appointment with Professor Ji this afternoon, so he probably hasn't gone back yet."
"Which Professor Ji?" Ji Miao's name flashed through my mind instinctively.
"It's Professor Ji, whom I met at the Yucheng Hotel yesterday. He's also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recently, Seventh Master and Professor Ji have been doing research together. They'll have an academic discussion today, and I don't know when it will end."
Bai Qianmo remained silent. After Rong Yi's reminder, she vaguely remembered what Madam Ji had said.
What day of the week is it today?
Rong Yi paused for a moment, then thought carefully: "It's Saturday today."
Bai Qianmo narrowed her eyes, her fingers casually resting on the car window, and gently tapped on the window, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Rong Yi, that shrewd old man, glanced at Bai Qianmo through the latter's mirror.
He immediately understood.
"I'll call Seventh Master right now."
Last night at the restaurant, everyone could understand what Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji were thinking about Seventh Master's attitude.
Miss Bai naturally understood, but someone of Miss Bai's temperament would never act childishly in front of Seventh Master. With Miss Bai's exceptional intelligence, how could she not know where Seventh Master is right now?
Knowing this, she deliberately brought up the idea of going to see Seventh Master at this time.
Rong Yi smiled inwardly.
Seventh Master really enjoys seeing Miss Bai care about him so much.
I made a phone call, but no one answered.
"Seventh Master may have gone into the lab with Professor Ji. I'll call Yuan You and ask."
Before Bai Qianmo could speak, Rong Yi immediately dialed Yuan You's number again.
It rang twice, and the other end answered quickly.
"Hey, Brother Yi."
"Where is Seventh Master?"
"You're looking for the boss? He and Professor Ji just came out of the lab. I heard them say they were going out to eat together."
Have a meal?
Rong Yi observed Bai Qianmo's expression through the rearview mirror: "Who's there?"
"There's Professor Ji, two of his students, and Professor Ji's daughter."
"Oh, Professor Ji's daughter is here too."
"Yes, I think Miss Ji seems to have a thing for the boss. Her eyes keep following him around," Yuan You joked casually.
Rong Yi made a few perfunctory remarks and hung up the phone. He deliberately turned up the volume on his phone so that Bai Qianmo could hear his conversation with Yuan You clearly.
The phone rang once.
Rong Yi glanced down and said, "Miss Bai, Yuan You sent me the address of the restaurant that Seventh Master went to. Shall we go there? I mean, you should have dinner soon."
Bai Qianmo's eyes were slightly closed, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at that moment.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then let's go."
“Okay!” Rong Yi immediately started the car and headed towards the hotel according to the address Yuan You had sent.

Inside the restaurant's private room
Ji Miao and Gu Jueye sat together, while the other two students who were accompanying them sat in the empty seats next to Ji Miao.
Yuan You originally wanted to sit in the empty seat next to Gu Jueye, but someone beat him to it and took the seat in front of him.
Yuan You frowned, looking at Ji Qingqing with a complicated expression.
When I first met Ji Qingqing, I felt that she was a very approachable girl, but I later discovered that her purpose was also to help the boss.
Yuan You sighed inwardly, knowing that wherever the boss was, he was destined to fail to attract the attention of girls.
"My lord, please try this boiled pork. This dish is a specialty of this restaurant, and many people come here specifically for it," Ji Qingqing eagerly introduced the dishes that had already been served to Gu Jueye.
Gu Jueye maintained a polite demeanor, his expression remaining cold and indifferent, making it impossible to discern whether he liked or disliked him.
Ji Qingqing was unsure what to do. Seeing that Gu Jueye hadn't touched his chopsticks, she felt nervous and a little disappointed.
That day, he and Bai Qianmo were having dinner together, chatting and laughing.
Although she didn't know Bai Qianmo personally, she had seen various negative news about her online. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire, so she probably wasn't a kind person either.
Therefore, Ji Qingqing felt that she was much better than Bai Qianmo in terms of both upbringing and character. Moreover, her profession and the Duke had topics that resonated with each other, which she believed was something that Bai Qianmo absolutely did not have.
Gu Jueye didn't touch his chopsticks, nor did he even glance at the boiled pork.
He turned his head and discussed the situation in the lab with Ji Miao for a few minutes.
Ji Qingqing felt she was being treated coldly and was somewhat discouraged.
Ji Miao glanced at Ji Qingqing briefly and sighed inwardly.
Qingqing spent the entire afternoon hovering around Gu Jueye, but he didn't even glance at her once, making his rejection quite obvious.
"Qingqing, it's getting late. I remember you have a dance class tonight. Why don't you let Qin Jian take you home?"
Of the two doctoral students sitting opposite Ji Qingqing, one young man immediately looked at Ji Qingqing.
Ji Qingqing quickly shook her head: "No, it's not easy for Lord Jue to come all this way today. Qin Jian should stay here and listen carefully. It will be very helpful for your future academic studies."
