Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 1352: Jade Picking, Gifting the Elders

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Wangchuan was surprised that she was willing to go, but not too surprised.

After all, he knew Qiao Nian well. She had always been a stubborn but soft-hearted person, especially when it came to the people she cared about.

A fine light in his eyes crushed the warmth on the floor. “Call me at noon,” he said in a low, slow voice. “I’ll pick you up.”

Qiao Nian picked up the glass of milk and slowly lowered her head. She took a sip and put the glass back. Her voice returned to its previous casual and frivolous tone. “No need. I’ll call a taxi.”

Finished, she said, “I have somewhere else to go.”

!!
It was Ye Lan’s birthday, so she had to give her a birthday gift. Speaking of birthday gifts, she still had to look for Jian Jin.

Jian Jin had a full set of jade jewelry in her possession. It was just right to give it to an elder.

…

It was already close to ten by the time Qiao Nian arrived at school.

In the principal’s office.

Du Mingwei was getting impatient. He looked around the door three times but saw no one coming.

He paced restlessly around the office.

On the third lap, he stopped and looked worriedly at Liang Conglin. “Principal, is Qiao Nian not coming?”

“I don’t know.” Liang Conglin didn’t know if Qiao Nian would come. He massaged his temples with a headache and said, “I asked her yesterday. She said that she was almost done. I don’t know if she finished it.”

The latest deadline given by the IT Association was noon today. Qiao Nian would be disqualified if they didn’t hand in the USB flash drive before noon.

How could Liang Conglin not be anxious?

However, it was useless for him to be anxious about this matter. Qiao Nian still had to give them the USB drive before the deadline.

But… that was easier said than done!

There was no point in him panicking!

Liang Conglin was even mentally prepared for them to be disqualified. “Let’s wait a little longer. Isn’t there still two hours? Let’s wait.”

Du Mingwei took a deep breath and started walking uneasily again.

He also knew that he couldn’t blame Qiao Nian this time.

He could only blame himself for not keeping an eye on the flash drive and allowing it to be stolen.

Qiao Nian was cleaning up his mess.

However, this was the first time the country had entered the world-class software competition finals. He was unwilling to miss this opportunity to prove the country’s technological level!

For the first time, Du Mingwei was annoyed that he hadn’t been careful. He couldn’t even guard a USB flash drive. How could a student steal it?

But it was useless no matter how upset he was. He knew that he could only wait, wait for Qiao Nian to come to school.

Among the few of them, only Nie Mi was calmly drinking tea. He saw that Liang Conglin and Du Mingwei looked nervous and tense as if the sky had collapsed. He put down his teacup and comforted them. “You don’t have to be so nervous. Don’t worry, Qiao Nian will come.”

Du Mingwei was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but ask, “Master Nie, how do you know?”

Amused, Nie Mi put his teacup on the table. “Why wouldn’t I know? I sent her a message and she replied.”

“What did she say?”

Nervous, Du Mingwei immediately asked, “Did she say if she finished the software?”

Nie Mi glanced at him in amusement. “I don’t know. I didn’t ask her that. I only asked if she was coming to school today. She said she would come over later.”

Du Mingwei’s heart raced.

Nie Mi immediately comforted him. “You don’t have to be so nervous. She must have finished it since she said she was coming.”
