2477 What a Coincidence, Everyone Has Met
“Alright, Miss Ji is indeed a straightforward person.” Simon finished his glass and immediately smiled.
Ji Ziyin put down her glass gracefully. “It’s only right that I drink the wine that the President toasted.”
“Miss Ji, you’re too polite.”
Simon smiled boldly. Not beating around the bush, he sat down and asked on behalf of everyone, “I want to ask you for a favor… There’s a weapons dealer in the independent continent. I want to ask Miss Ji…”
Ji Ziyin lifted the hair by her ear and interrupted him calmly, “Are you talking about Mr. David?”
Everyone looked at her.
Even Old Madam Lu held her breath and asked with concern, “Ziyin, do you know him?”
“I wouldn’t say that.” Ji Ziyin smiled under everyone’s gaze and lowered her eyes to say softly, “I’ve just heard his name.”
Everyone present was smart.
The more Ji Ziyin tried to cover it up, the more everyone thought about it.
They all thought that Ji Ziyin had a good relationship with the other party, but was unwilling to reveal too much. After all, Yu Qingliu, whom Ji Ziyin had joined, had already gone to look for the weapons dealer. It was very likely that Ji Ziyin had met the other party…
Everyone had their own thoughts, and their attitude towards Ji Ziyin became more and more attentive. They all wanted to find out some information about the mysterious weapons dealer from her.
Ji Ziyin kept a reserved and proud smile on her face and pretended to be innocent as if she did not know why they were treating her so well.

At the same time, Qiao Nian had just walked into the Intercontinental Hotel.
The lobby was crowded as usual.
Wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap, she waved goodbye to Ye Wangchuan and walked inside. Because she was dressed inconspicuously and there was no one waiting for her at the front desk, no one noticed her.
Happy and relaxed, Qiao Nian pressed the elevator to the hotpot restaurant that Daji had booked on the second floor.
There were not many patrons, so she immediately saw the man waving at her. “Here!”
Qiao Nian pulled down her hoodie and lowered her head slightly as she walked in his direction.
She pulled out a chair and sat down. At this moment, the waiter walked over and asked politely, “May we serve the dishes now?”
Qiao Nian raised her eyes and looked at the silly guy sitting opposite her. “You’ve ordered?”
“I had nothing to do while waiting for you, so I ordered a few dishes.” Daji smiled and handed the menu to her. “See if you want anything else.”
Qiao Nian took the menu. Her fair hand flipped through it twice before returning it to the waiter. She added a tripe dish and ordered a glass of Coke. Looking sideways at him, she asked, “What about you? What do you want to drink?”
“Me?” Daji pointed at himself and thought about it. He was about to ask the waiter for a drink.
Unexpectedly, the girl seemed to have seen through him and said to the waiter first, “Get him a jar of herbal cooling tea.”
The waiter received their order and went to get the dishes.
Qiao Nian looked around. There was not even a private room. She looked at him in admiration. “Is it okay for you to go out like this?”
“Like what?”
Although Daji had not drunk anything, he did not care. He raised his head and looked at the noisy surroundings.
Then, he touched his short black hair and his rough face was strong and generous. He explained awkwardly, “I wanted to treat you to something good. Who knew that this godforsaken place was even more barren than Continent F? There’s not even a high-end hotpot restaurant! Tsk~ God knows how they have the cheek to call themselves the world’s wealth center.”
