Chapter 1080: I Heard It From Principal Liang
Jiang Li and Jiang Zongjin seemed very free. They looked at each other.
In the end, Jiang Li couldn’t control his temper and spoke first. He leaned forward and hesitated before asking, “By the way, Nian Nian, why did you go to the illegal district?”
Before he left, he had told Qiao Nian that he had gone to Liangjiang City to film a variety show. Later, Principal Liang and the others came over. He was shocked when Principal Liang told him that Qiao Nian was also there.
Qiao Nian had just replied to a message. Hearing this, she looked up and placed her phone aside. She placed her arm on the table and said casually, “I went with Principal Liang and the others.”
Jiang Li was speechless.
Of course, he knew that Qiao Nian had come with Liang Conglin and the others. This was clearly not what he wanted to ask!
However, he wasn’t sure if Qiao Nian understood the meaning of his words. He paused and said in confusion, “I heard from Principal Liang that it was all thanks to the Red Alliance that we could successfully resolve the dispute with Hengfeng Corporation. But we don’t know anyone from the Red Alliance. I don’t understand why they helped us…”
Qiao Nian could see that he was puzzled and guessed that Liang Conglin had not told him about Slim Waist Control.
She didn’t mention it.
Coincidentally, the dishes were delivered along with the pot at this moment.
The waiter helped turn on the fire.
Soon, the hot pot boiled, and the private room was filled with the alluring fragrance of hot pot.
The oil cans were placed beside her. Qiao Nian handed two cans over as she picked up her chopsticks and added seasoning to her bowl.
Jiang Zongjin looked at her sitting opposite him calmly. For some reason, he was no longer as tense. He relaxed. Seeing that the girl had added onions and garlic to her bowl and was looking for coriander, he handed it over. “Here.”
Qiao Nian looked up and paused for a second before silently taking the coriander from him.
She casually added some to the bowl.
Seeing that she did not resist, Jiang Zongjin’s heart softened. He looked at the girl’s porcelain-white side profile with a gentle expression and explained softly, “Nian Nian, I’m sorry. I made you worry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It was just that this matter was very complicated at that time. I didn’t know how to resolve it for a while. Furthermore, I wasn’t in the country… So… So, I didn’t tell you, and I didn’t let Jiang Li tell you either.”
Qiao Nian’s shoulders relaxed slightly. Her voice sounded a little hoarse from not sleeping well. The brim of her cap was lowered, and her eyes could not be seen. He could only see her cold chin. “It’s fine.”
Jiang Zongjin felt even more guilty. He lowered his head again and found it difficult to speak. “I heard it from Principal Liang.”
Qiao Nian looked up.
Jiang Zongjin looked at her and smiled slightly. His scholarly aura made him look gentle and elegant. “He told me that it was all thanks to your help that we could successfully resolve this matter. Although I don’t know how you helped, fortunately, you came.
“This scientific research result is quite important to the country. Our efforts over the past few years would have been in vain if it wasn’t recognized by the industry…”
Jiang Li was deeply touched when he heard this. IT had developed later in the country than overseas.
Therefore, in some high-tech fields, the most cutting-edge technology and resources had always been controlled by a monopoly overseas.
They could only spend a high price to buy the finished products that others had eliminated if they wanted to use them in the country.
Furthermore, they wouldn’t be given a chance to study it.
It was really not easy for Qing University to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in chip technology.
