Chapter 168: Chapter 161 Fifth Master Hits on Qiao Jing

National key scientific personnel!

These words struck Zhu Tingting like a bolt from the blue, making her head buzz with a ringing sound.

She couldn’t understand how Qiao Jing, clearly just a filthy peasant, had beca national key scientific

personnel?

To think about it! She had already noticed that Captain Zhao's attitude towards Qiao Jing was not normally

respectful, and she didn’t think Captain Zhao would lie about such a matter.

“National scientific personnel... How did Qiao Jing beca national scientific personnel? What exactly is going

on?”

As soon as Zhan Nanqing arrived at the research institute, she immediately questioned Qiao Jing.

“Did you hear about what happened to Zhu Tingting?”

“Hmm,” Qiao Jing responded indifferently.

Zhan Nanging’s eyes bore into Qiao Jing, and her intuition told her that this incident was very likely related to

Qiao Jing.

“Be honest, did you know about this beforehand?”

“A couple of days ago, during the day, she brought speople to teacha lesson, but in the end, | taught

them a lesson instead,” Qiao Jing said without letting it interfere with her work.

So that was it.

Zhan Nanging had seen Qiao Jing’s terrifying combat ability before. “Wait a minute, during the day? Are you

saying Zhu Tingting brought people to trouble you in broad daylight? She dared to take action?”

“She wasn’t that brainless. | deliberately led them to a secluded alley,” Qiao Jing stated.

Hearing this, Zhan Nanging’s pupils dilated.

“You realized they were stalking you from the start?”

“I noticed as soon as | left the door,” Qiao Jing replied.

Hisss—Zhan Nanging took a sharp breath.

That keen?

She recalled a twhen she and Qiao Jing did not get along, and she too had thought about getting someone to

teach Qiao Jing a lesson, though she never got the chance to follow through.

Now looking back, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Thankfully, she hadn't acted on it.

“I'm going out for a bit; you keep working,” Qiao Jing said, handing the watering tools to Zhan Nanging.

“Where are you going?”

“Just out for a walk, to get sfresh air, to find sinspiration.”

“I'll cwith you.”

Halfway out, Qiao Jing turned back to look at Zhan Nanging, “You need to finish your work and earn the salary

I'm paying you.”

Damn!

Zhan Nanging twitched her mouth in speechlessness, thinking who cared for that salary; the money wasn’t even

enough to buy her a piece of clothing.

However much she complained, now that she was working under Qiao Jing and Qiao Jing had spoken, she had no

choice but to honestly stay at the research institute.

While Zhan Nanging was thinking this, she suddenly received a call from Su Manhan.

“Hello? Mom, what's up?”

“Nanging, when do you get off work today? Chearly, and call your brother too. It’s been a long time

since we've all been together, so let's go to a restaurant and have dinner together.”

“| get off work at the usual time. Dinner tonight, right? I'll reach out to Qiao Jing later.”

“Don’t call her! Annoying,” Su Manhan complained at the mere mention of Qiao Jing.

“Even if | don’t, my brother will.”

“Don’t start withabout her now; just thinking about her givesa headache,” Su Manhan changed the

subject, “Anyway, how is it going at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute? Are you adjusting well?”

“Not bad, I've learned quite a few things.”

Although Zhan Nanging complained in her heart about Qiao Jing, who wasn’t at all polite in making use of her,

the truth was she had indeed learned quite a lot from Qiao Jing during this time.

“That's good, that’s very good.” Su Manhan’s tone was full of joy as she spoke, “Work hard, you're the pride of

our family.”

The fact that Zhan Nanging had joined Professor Qiao’s Research Institute had made Su Manhan extremely

proud. These past few days during card games and gatherings, she always had this topic on her lips.

“Our Nanging is accomplished now, having joined Professor Qiao’s Research Institute. It makes me, as a mother,

so proud! By the way, | discussed with your dad last night; the Gan family threw a lavish celebration for Gan

Lanlan joining the institute. We plan to hold a celebration for you too, and it can’t be any less grand than the Gan

family’s.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Nanging’s face immediately flushed red.

How embarrassing!

“Mom, | don’t want to have a celebration. I'm just an assistant here, it’s not the sas Gan Lanlan.”

“How is it not the same? Nanqing, don’t sell yourself short. Gan Lanlan is also just interning, and though you're

just an assistant, you're Professor Qiao’s assistant. That puts you way above Gan Lanlan!” Su Manhan was

already eager to show off her precious daughter to everyone in their circle.

Zhan Nanging’s mouth twitched involuntarily, thinking, what would you feel if you knew she was currently

helping out Qiao Jing?

“Let’s settle on that. I'm going to book the hotel for the celebration now, invite people from our circle... the

invitation has to be classy, with gold embossing, and the hotel's decoration must not be of inferior standard...”

Su Manhan got carried away as she went on.

Zhan Nanging was sweating just listening to her.

“Mom, really, there's no need, 1—"

“I'm going to arrange it now; we'll talk later. Beep—" The phone cut off.

Zhan Nanging “..."”

“Finished, finished, finished, if Qiao Jing finds out about this, who knows what she will think of me? Ahhhh—"

| can’t face anyone now!

Zhan Nanging covered her face, squatting on the ground and wailing miserably, looking utterly forlorn.

As soon as Qiao Jing cback, she saw this baffling scene, “What happened to you? Why the yelling?”

Zhan Nanging’s eyes were as round as they could be, “You, how did you cback?”

“Oh, | forgot my phone.” Qiao Jing

Now Zhan Nanqing truly wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into.

After leaving the institute, Qiao Jing bought sfruit and headed toward the welfare center.

As she walked, suddenly a deep voice cfrom behind her.

“Excuse me, may | ask for directions?”

Qiao Jing stopped in her tracks, turned around, and her eyes slightly sparkled.

“Where are you heading?”

“International Hotel.” As Wu Xirui spoke, he intentionally flashed what he considered his most charming smile at

Qiao Jing.

In the past, when he looked at other women with that gaze, they would melt under his charm and do anything

for him.

So he was confident that Qiao Jing would be captivated by his appearance.

She left? Just like that? Wu Xirui stood there, staring after Qiao Jing in stunned silence.

In a nearby car, Lan Yinyin caught the entire scene, her eyes filled with schadenfreude as she looked at Qiao

Jing.

Mess with the Fifth Master, and you'll see! His methods will make you wish you were dead rather than alive.

“Wait a moment!” Wu Xirui hurried after her, “I'm not very good with technology, could you please showthe

way?”

Qiao Jing glanced toward a taxi on the road, “Couldn’t you just hail a cab? I’m quite busy, | don’t have time.”
