Chapter 68 I Like to Be Straightforward
Li Jinxing looked at Nie Yao with a complicated expression. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly said, "Nie Yao, you're a smart person. There are some things I don't need to explain too clearly..."
Before he could finish, Nie Yao interrupted him and met his deep gaze with a smile: "Li Jinxing, I am a person who likes to be straightforward!"
The two of them stared at each other quietly for who knows how long. At this moment, the door of the box was opened, and Director Chen's deep voice came into their ears.
"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic and accidentally arrived late. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
Nie Yao retracted her gaze, smiled at the old curator, stood up and said politely, "Director Chen, you're not late. We just got here a while ago!"
"That's good!" Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Nie Yao and Li Jinxing. Just as he was hesitating about where to sit, Li Jinxing stood up first and gave his seat to Director Chen, then sat down next to Nie Yao with confidence.
Director Chen looked at the two sitting side by side, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. He had long known that these two people were more than just acquaintances...
Everyone has arrived. After ordering their dishes, appetizer tea and tapas were served. Director Chen began to ask with a smile about the results of Nie Yao's speech today.
Li Jinxing would occasionally add a few words. When Director Chen heard that the effect was very good, he also smiled with satisfaction and said, "So Mr. Li also went to listen to Ivy's speech. It's a pity that I was busy at the time, otherwise I would have gone to listen too..."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Director Chen. I dare not show off my little knowledge in front of you!" Nie Yao joked with a smile.
"Hey, you can't be so modest. I know exactly how capable you are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have strongly recommended you to give the speech to my friends!"
Director Chen waved his hand and sighed with a smile, "If you hadn't finished your studies yet, I would really like to recruit you to work at my museum!"
"I haven't decided where to stay after graduation, but I will discuss it with my adoptive father..." Nie Yao replied with a faint smile.
"Then I'll have to persuade your adoptive father!" Director Chen said this, and then he remembered the story her adoptive father told him a few days ago. He couldn't help but sigh softly, "If your adoptive father hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that your life story was so complicated..."
Nie Yao knew he was referring to the fact that she had just been found by the Nie family and adopted as the eldest grandson's daughter. She smiled indifferently, "I don't care much about that, and I don't feel like I've suffered much..."
Director Chen had initially felt a bit unfair for her, but seeing how open-minded she was, he smiled and praised, "As expected of a child brought up by Fred, she's very stable and takes things in her stride... Speaking of which, if you really had grown up in a wealthy family, I'm afraid your family wouldn't have allowed you to study archaeology. Then the archaeological world would have lost a great talent!"
Nie Yao burst out laughing, winked, and playfully replied, "Anyway, I won't give up my major now!"
Director Chen gave Nie Yao a thumbs up. As the special dishes were served, the three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
"Director Chen, how is the progress of the matter I asked you to investigate last time?" Li Jinxing asked casually.
"I was just about to tell you about this!" Director Chen put down his chopsticks and said to Li Jinxing seriously, "Mr. Li, I know you're a little anxious, but the workload is quite large, so I think we can ask Ivy to help!"
