Outside the First Research Institute.

The three of them had just walked out.

One of the ordinary-looking, short-haired middle-aged men slowed down and said disapprovingly to the hook-nosed old man, “Old Lei, wasn’t your attitude too impulsive just now? We’re here to discuss with her, not to force her to do as we ask. Now that we’ve fallen out, it’s not good for us to go back and report!’

In a fit of anger, Hooked Nose stopped and looked at him sharply. “What do you mean? You saw how she treated us. She showed us no respect.”

The middle-aged man was speechless. Wasn’t it you who provoked her first?

Leonard did not care about his previous attitude. He only cared about Qiao Nian’s attitude. He snorted and said, “She clearly doesn’t take us seriously. Our Privy Council doesn’t have to beg her!”

The ordinary-looking middle-aged man could not argue with him. He massaged his temples and said helplessly, “Elder Lei, don’t forget what the Privy Council’s consensus is for this recruitment…”

The Privy Council had asked them to help Qiao Nian with the pre-procedures, not to make her give up on the Privy Council.

This was not the purpose of their special trip.

“I’ve seen her information.” The middle-aged man continued, “She’s a malleable talent and is very suitable to enter the Privy Council. We need to nurture fresh blood.”

Hooked Nose said unhappily, “The Privy Council never accepts Easterners. I’ve already made a concession and asked her to change her citizenship to that of the independent continent. This request is not difficult to fulfill, but she rejected it without hesitation and even threw the application form into the trash can…” This was intolerable!

“What Old Xue means is…” The middle-aged man was not on his side, so he dared to argue with him about this matter.

As soon as the middle-aged man mentioned Old Xue, the leader of the conservatives, Hooked Nose’s eyes darkened and he said with a gloomy expression, “Don’t talk about him. If you’re not satisfied, discuss it with her yourself. I’m not serving you anymore!

“In short, I won’t allow a person from Country Z to enter the Privy Council, even if she has the direct bloodline of the Ji family flowing through her veins.

“l didn’t know she would insist on not changing her nationality to that of the independent continent. Now that things have developed to this point, I’ll discuss it with the elders again. If she doesn’t want to enter the Privy Council, the Privy Council might not want her anymore!”

With that, he stormed out.

The middle-aged man could only follow a step behind him. He hurriedly called the leader of his faction, Old Xue, and reported the situation to him.

Leonard and the others returned to the hotel and were about to take the elevator up.

Suddenly, a voice stopped them.

“Are you Elder Lei?”

Leonard turned around and saw a young woman walking towards him. She had bright eyes and white teeth and looked very polite.

He narrowed his eyes and asked the person beside him, “Who is she?”

This time, there were a total of three people from the Privy Council. One belonged to the conservative faction, one belonged to Leonard’s radical faction, and the other belonged to the neutral faction.

Compared to the other two factions, the neutral faction did not offend either faction.

Although it did not look particularly outstanding, it was still a considerable force in the Privy Council.

That person looked at Ji Ziyin walking over and said with an unchanged expression, “l think it’s that… Miss Ji recommended by the Empress?”
