Qiao Qiu skipped this part and asked, "How is your research going? Time is of the essence. If you can't develop it successfully within three months, Nancheng may not be able to be saved."
Upon hearing this, the veteran researcher frowned, said nothing more, and walked towards the experimental site.
After hearing Qiao Qiu's words, the others also quickened their pace.
Everyone understands that time waits for no one.
Qiao Qiu watched their busy figures, then glanced at Bai Wei one last time, letting go of her last trace of worry.
Hopefully, none of the people here have been "deceived" by Bai Wei's appearance.
Through the tireless efforts of researchers, they developed an antiviral "drug," as well as a "drug" to improve water resources and help plants grow, all within half a month.
The introduction of these medicines has greatly encouraged the people of Nancheng.
At the same time, Qiao Qiu also engaged in foreign trade, selling these kinds of "medicines".
Not long after, the other three city lords came knocking.
Qiao Qiu had anticipated their arrival and had made preparations in advance. She left them waiting in the reception room for a whole day.
I went to see them the next day.
The three city lords were so frustrated by being left hanging that their anger flared up, reaching its peak by the next morning. They showed Qiao Qiu no kindness whatsoever.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was also a city lord, and that the research results on the medicine were in her possession, they would have been very rude to her long ago.
"Lord of the South City, we have come here because of your reputation and would like to meet your researchers," said Lord of the North City first.
Qiao Qiu glanced at him, feeling that his face looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't think about it too much. Instead, she said what she needed to say, "Sorry, they're not available."
"No time? Lord South, our city's researchers have vanished overnight. We suspect you took them away." Lord West was very agitated. If looks could kill, Qiao Qiu would probably be dead a thousand times over.
Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Lord West City, before you had your doubts, shouldn't you have considered the issue of your reputation?"
"What?"
"If I can take them away directly, just how incompetent must your city's defenses be?"
"You!" The faces of the three city lords were extremely ugly.
Qiao Qiu's face turned cold, and her sharp eyes swept over them. "This is the end of the world. I don't have time to play power games with you. You want them back today? No way! You want to use force to take them back? Then try it."
The three city lords were seasoned veterans; a single glance from her wasn't enough to frighten them. It was her words that struck them deeply.
They simply couldn't believe that a girl who looked to be only a teenager had such audacity to speak like that.
Does she even know what she's saying?
The hot-tempered West City Lord said, "Feng Yin, we're not playing house here. Hand over the person now!"
The East City Lord chimed in, "South City Lord, there are many things you don't understand yet, so just listen to your Uncle Lan."
"Oh!"
Qiao Qiu sneered, cutting them off immediately. "Do you think I'm playing house? Who's blind to reality? Or are you all so blinded by greed that you've never seen the light?"
"Feng Yin, don't push your luck!" The North City Lord's face was ashen; no one had ever dared to disrespect him like this.
"There's no point in arguing. The three city lords, please leave. Once the virus vaccine is developed, I won't keep it a secret." Qiao Qiu moved like the wind, leaving her seat in the blink of an eye and appearing at the door. She placed her hand on the door and said, "However, if you want to cause trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite!"
This extraordinary ability truly amazed everyone present.
At the same time, several city lords realized the credibility of Qiao Qiu's words.
What she said is very likely true.
"Hmph, I almost got fooled by this little brat. She just wants to take all the credit for herself, to let everyone know that she saved the world, and thus become the supreme leader with everyone's support. Such ambition is alarming," the North City Lord said coldly.
The West City Lord nodded. "You're right. What should we do now? That girl Feng Yin is not someone to be trifled with."
Judging from the special abilities she just displayed, this is quite obvious. So far, they haven't seen anyone whose abilities surpass Qiao Qiu's; her ability level is likely already at least level eight.
The North City Lord's eyes were cold as he said, "This is her territory. Let's all return to our respective cities first, and then we can discuss what to do."
"good."
The three city lords discussed it and, without even having breakfast, hurriedly returned.
Qiao Qiu returned to the study and exchanged a glance with Su Xi, who was looking up from her book.
Su Xi closed the book, jumped off the chair, walked to her, and looked at her with eyes as warm as the sun. "Sister, how are you?"
Qiao Qiu rubbed her temples. "Let's put the plan into action."
"good."
Su Xi had long expected that they wouldn't reach a peace agreement, so it wasn't surprising now that it turned out to be true.
Su Xi walked away from her, her steps very quick.
Qiao Qiu's gaze followed its small silhouette, and suddenly her heart raced.
etc!
My heart is racing?!
What the hell is going on?!
Qiao Qiu was completely stunned. Could she really be that beastly? No, she couldn't be, could she?
Although he was a handsome young man, he was still a child! A child!
Qiao Qiu, wake up!
Having experienced a lifetime of romance, Qiao Qiu bitterly discovered that after spending some time with Su Xi, she had actually fallen for this sensible boy.
Could it be that its gentle gaze caused this?
This is not scientific!
Qiao Qiu calmed herself down, walked to the desk, sat down, and picked up the book that Su Xi had just been reading.
After a short while, her gaze became unfocused, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. However, this smile vanished almost immediately.
Qiao Qiu closed the book, leaned on the table, and stared out the window. After a while, a delicate little face appeared in her mind again.
Here we go again!
Lately, I can't stop thinking about that kid no matter what I do. Just thinking about him makes me feel incredibly happy, and then the corners of my mouth start to turn up. My heart feels like it's filled with honey.
Qiao Qiu, oh Qiao Qiu, do you still remember Zhao Yuce?!
Thinking of Zhao Yuce, Qiao Qiu felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her feelings for Su Xi could finally begin to fade away.
Although she still held onto hope that Su Xi was Zhao Yuce.
But Su Xi is Su Xi, and Zhao Yuce is Zhao Yuce. Even if it is him, it knows nothing. Its feelings for her are nothing more than a younger brother's attachment to his older sister. What it thinks and what she thinks are completely different concepts. How can they be together?
Qiao Qiu sighed, and in an attempt to force herself to calm down, she took out a math book and began to study the calculations inside.
Didn't someone say that numbers can help people concentrate? Well, let's give it a try.
