Ji Ziyin was stunned for a moment before her expression turned ugly.
Simon had just said that he would leave tomorrow and that she did not have to send him off. Joseph was also leaving just like that, not caring about the fact that she was treating him.
Joseph did not take her seriously. Before leaving, he turned to Simon and said, “The Chamber of Commerce Alliance has business in Country M. The next time President Simon comes over, tell me. I want to do my best as a host.”
The private room became even more inconsolable after he left.
Even Ji Xiao could not eat anymore.
Everyone could tell that Ji Ziyin was not doing as well as she said.
Ji Ziyin took the opportunity to get up and grab her bag. “Is everyone done eating? I’ll go pay the bill.”
This time, Simon had no intention of being polite. He did not move, and his expression was cold. It was obvious that he regretted taking the wrong side.
Only Ji Xiao got up.
“I’ll go with you.”
Ji Ziyin paid the bill. Turning around and seeing Ji Xiao’s hesitant expression, she felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and twisted her bag. “l won’t go back there,’
“Are you going straight back to your residence?” Ji Xiao hesitated for a moment. “Aren’t you going to tell President Simon and the others?”
Ji Ziyin was annoyed to death. She was not in the mood to talk to them anymore. “Help me tell them that 1 have something else to do.”
“Oh, okay.” Ji Xiao did not dare to provoke her.
Not in the mood to talk to him anymore, Ji Ziyin left after giving him some instructions.
She called the chauffeur and asked him to pick her up at the entrance. She received a call right after she got to the entrance,
She did not look at the caller ID. Thinking that it was the chauffeur, she picked up the call and coldly asked, “Where are you?”
There was silence on the other end for a second.
Ji Ziyin’s heart skipped a beat. Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Shadow.
She hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry. I thought it was the chauffeur. I didn’t know it was you…”
Shadow did not argue with her and directly asked, “l heard that you have a dinner date with King Joseph tonight?”
Ji Ziyin’s back stiffened, and she did not dare to say the truth. “A few friends came to visit. King Joseph happened to be here, so I asked if he wanted to come too.”
Afraid of offending the person on the other end of the phone, her heart beat faster, and she bit her lip in humiliation. “I’ll pay attention in the future.”
Seeing that she was still sensible, Shadow reminded her calmly, “The Empress didn’t put in so much effort for you to enter the Privy Council just for you to show off. We can replace you at any time if you don’t do well. You have to understand that you’re different from Qiao Nian. She entered the Privy Council by her own efforts. You, however, got in through the back door. Since you’re relying on connections, you have to act like it. Don’t cause trouble for the Empress.”
Ji Ziyin’s breathing almost stopped. Her face burned, and her ears buzzed.
She clenched her hands and said with a humble voice, “l know.”
One day, she would climb to the highest point and trample on everyone who looked down on her!
Shadow did not continue to lecture her. He said coldly, “According to the rules of the Privy Council, you have to work with her to complete a mission in two days.
“The mission hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll tell you when it is.”
Complete a mission with Qiao Nian?
Ji Ziyin had yet to figure out what he meant when Shadow’s cold and emotionless voice rang out again. “The Empress hopes that you can complete this mission outstandingly. Don’t you have some research results? Don’t disappoint the Empress.”
His last words sounded like a warning.
Ji Ziyin’s hands were clenched so tightly that it seemed something was going to tear.
Her heart pounded. She knew very well how she got the “research results”… But she only had one chance
