"Alright." Shi Miao looked away, her raven-feather-like eyelashes slightly lowered, and slowly ate the orange in her hand.
However, she did not expect that the two of them would have the same idea this time.
The reason she agreed to attend the academic conference was simply to take this opportunity to wipe out Qin Chu's stronghold in the Independent Continent.
Moreover, she had already asked Zhong Li to go and prepare in advance.
Xie Sizhou, of course, had no idea what the two were thinking. He stroked his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "Then I want to go too!"
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. "Whatever you say."
Xie Sizhou smiled, turned to look at Qin Xiao beside him, and blurted out subconsciously, "By the way, isn't your sister..."
Realizing what he had said, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly shut his mouth, swallowing back the words he was about to say.
To be honest, he really wanted to slap himself for his quick tongue; he always brought up the most sensitive topics.
Xie Sizhou looked slightly embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose. "Ahem, Lao Qin, are you going?"
"Go ahead, I've got nothing else to do anyway." Qin Xiao's face showed no other emotional fluctuations, and he even took the initiative to talk about Qin Mingyue's matter. His tone sounded quite calm. "I went to Independent Continent to look for her once, but she refused to come back or see me. Let her be."
Shi Miao suddenly remembered the news she had heard from Xie Sizhou, looked up at him, and asked with rare interest, "Did Qin Chu really let her into the Independent State Scientific Research Institute?"
Qin Xiao pursed his lips, his fingers stroking the cup. "Mmm."
Seeing that everyone was being informal, Xie Sizhou decided to speak his mind, "Sister Shi, you won't... cough... run into her at this academic exchange conference, will you..."
Shi Miao leaned back casually on the sofa, her dark eyes shimmering, and said nonchalantly, "Who knows?"
...
The next morning, Shi Miao went to the airport.
"You really aren't coming with us?" Ji Yanchen looked at the girl in front of him and reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.
Shi Miao yawned, looking a little tired, and took a sip of her coffee. "No need, Professor Huo has already booked my plane ticket. I'll just go with the rest of the group."
Several people from the Institute of Physics, not far away, had also walked over to join them.
Ji Yanchen nodded slightly, "We should arrive two hours later than you. See you at the hotel then."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, her voice low and husky, "Okay."
Ji Yanchen didn't linger. After giving her a few instructions, he ruffled her hair and left.
Shi Miao glanced at the man's back, then turned around and threw the half-finished coffee in her hand into the trash can.
Ji Yanchen hadn't gone far when Pei Rongzheng and Huo Yudong came over, followed by the other members of the academic exchange meeting.
"Teacher, Senior Brother Huo," Shi Miao called out.
Pei Rongzheng nodded and asked gently, "Xiao Shi, you didn't have to wait too long, did you?"
Shi Miao's delicate and eye-catching face showed a rather obedient expression. "No, I just arrived a little while ago."
"Junior Sister." Huo Yudong greeted her with a smile, and then introduced the other members who had come with her one by one.
After Huo Yudong finished his introduction, he glanced at his watch and said to everyone, "It's about time, let's go in."
...
The plane takes more than ten hours to reach the independent state from the Imperial Capital International Airport.
Shi Miao slept the whole way, and woke up automatically when the announcement came that it was time to get off the plane.
She picked up her backpack and followed Pei Rongzheng and the others off the plane, taking her phone out of her pocket as she did so.
I just turned off airplane mode and opened WeChat, and several messages popped up.
Shi Miao lowered her eyes and typed slowly, replying to each message.
Huo Yudong slowed his pace and walked alongside her. "Junior Sister, we'll go straight to the hotel later. You should get some rest after such a long flight."
Shi Miao put away her phone, her pure black and white eyes looking at him, and nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand."
After leaving the airport, everyone went straight to the hotel they had booked in advance.
After checking in, Shi Miao glanced at the room key in her hand, took out her phone to send a message to Zhong Li, then said goodbye to Huo Yudong and the others before taking the elevator to her room.
Because it was funded by the research institute, the room we booked was a standard double room with a king-size bed.
After arriving at the room, Shi Miao had just walked to the table and put down the bag she was carrying when there were two knocks on the door.
She turned and walked over, opened the door, her face expressionless and calm, as if she already knew who was coming. "Come in."
Zhong Li walked in, closed the door behind her, and looked around. "Boss, your place is too small... How about I move you to the presidential suite upstairs?"
Shi Miao pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing her legs. She seemed somewhat nonchalant and said in a low voice, "No need, as long as it's a place to stay, it's fine."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "How are the preparations going?"
Zhong Li leaned against the wall, pulled out a gun from somewhere and played with it in his hand, saying with a grin, "Don't worry, boss, everything's ready. I guarantee we'll blow him to smithereens."
When do we make our move?
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, her fair face showing a rather wild expression. "Before I leave, listen to my instructions."
“Okay.” Zhong Li nodded.
...
Meanwhile, the Independent Continental Science Institute.
"Mingyue, why haven't you gone home yet, it's so late?"
Zhou Yan pushed open the door and came in with a stack of documents in her hand. She looked up at the girl standing in front of the lab table and couldn't help but admire her. She was working so hard.
Qin Mingyue continued working, her eyes lowered, and said softly, "I'll go back after I finish this."
Zhou Yan put down the documents in her hand. "By the way, I heard you're going to attend the exchange meeting tomorrow?"
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "Mm."
Zhou Yan exclaimed, "I really envy you; you get to participate in the exchange meeting."
Mingming has only been at the research institute for less than a month, yet he is able to attend such a high-level academic exchange meeting.
However, some people are just born lucky, and she can't be jealous of that.
Qin Mingyue put down the instrument in her hand and looked at Zhou Yan, "I'm just going to do reception and odd jobs."
Although her mentor Yan Yi made an exception and allowed her to participate in the exchange meeting, it was only for her to act as a host and receptionist; she was not qualified for real academic exchange.
Zhou Yan: "That's pretty good too."
Qin Mingyue just smiled and didn't reply.
Zhou Yan glanced at her watch and said, "I'll be going now. You should go home early too."
Qin Mingyue nodded, "Okay."
Not long after Zhou Yan left, Yan Yi pushed open the door and walked in, handing her what he was holding. "This is the list of attendees for tomorrow's exchange meeting."
