Chapter 627: Chapter 616: Qiao Jing’s Shocking Plan
Qiao Jing gave Zhou Yunze a chilly sidelong glance, her red lips parting slightly as she slowly uttered three words.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Zhou Yunze was left speechless, unable to control his facial expression any longer.
Zhan Nanging gave Zhou Yunze a wordless stare.
"What 'I'? Hurry up and go. Don’t stay here and be an eyesore. Or do you enjoy being humiliated that much?"
She really didn’t want to see Zhou Yunze anymore, fearing that in the next second she might lose control and
start throwing things to drive him out.
Su Manhan was also very dissatisfied with Zhou Yunze and issued an expulsion order.
"Zhou Yunze, you should leave first. We have sfamily matters to deal with."
Zhou Yunze clenched his teeth, reluctantly glanced at Zhan Nanging, but he simply had no face to stay any
longer and quickly left.
Once Zhou Yunze had left, the strange atmosphere in the living room finally dissipated.
Su Manhan promptly got up and sat between the only "couple" in the living room, with Chi Yuhang on her left
and Zhan Nanging on her right.
She brought Chi Yuhang’s and Zhan Nanging’s hands together.
"Xiao Hang, see when you're next free to takeand Nanqging to see your grandfather. Or, if it's convenient for
you, | can have the driver bring you both over."
Chi Yuhang had never interacted with a grand dfrom a wealthy family like Su Manhan, and her kindness
made him somewhat uneasy.
"Um... LL"
He was now very worried that he might give himself away given his current state, but he truly didn’t know how
to answer her question.
Because he would never cto Purple Garden again, and he wasn’t really Zhan Nanging’s boyfriend.
Zhan Nanging noticed Chi Yuhang's discomfort and answered on his behalf.
"Mom, how about next time? The research institute is quite busy lately, so it’s hard to find tright now, and
we actually need to leave now since our lunch break is almost over."
Su Manhan let out a somewhat disappointed sigh, but she understood their busy work lives.
"All right then."
Qiao Jing was the first to stand up and bid farewell to Su Manhan. After Zhan Nanging and the others had left the
living room ahead of her, she was stopped.
Su Manhan still looked a bit concerned as she watched the two leave and turned to question Qiao Jing.

"Qiao Jing, when you were at the institute, did you notice when they started dating?"
Qiao Jing understood what Su Manhan was implying, pondered for a moment, found a way to circumvent the
question neatly.
"| didn’t pay too much attention, as | have my own work to be busy with."
Su Manhan shook her head, sighing wistfully.
"Okay then, but I'll still need you to keep an eye on things in the future, to see what kind of person Xiao Hang
really is. Even though from our conversations it’s clear that Xiao Hang is polite and shows neither servility nor
overbearingness, | still want to learn more about him. Otherwise, | won't feel at ease."
After all, she only had this one precious daughter, flesh of her own flesh, and she couldn't bear the thought of
her making the wrong choice and taking the wrong path. That's why she took it upon herself to pick someone.
Qiao Jing could understand Su Manhan'’s painstaking efforts, nodded, and agreed.
“All right."
Su Manhan reached out to pat Qiao Jing’s shoulder, saying:
"I won't keep you any longer; you should go and attend to your work as well."
Qiao Jing murmured in response and left Purple Garden.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Zhan Nanging and Chi Yuhang still at the door.
Chi Yuhang seemed to be asking Zhan Nanging something.
Zhan Nanging, however, just shrugged her shoulders in a helpless manner.
The corner of her eye suddenly caught sight of Qiao Jing, and her eyes lit up in an instant.
"There, you go ask Qiao Jing, those weren't my words," she said.
Upon hearing Zhan Nanging’s words, a hint of confusion surfaced in Qiao Jing’s eyes as she looked up at the
other person.
"What's the matter?"
When facing Qiao Jing, Chi Yuhang becsomewhat hesitant, unsure if he should ask about the job at the
research institute.
He originally should have treated the comment by Doctor Qiao as an offhand remark and moved on, but he
couldn't help asking Zhan Nanging why she had said he worked at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.
Because if that were the case, it would mean he was once again deceiving Su Manhan, and he didn’t want to lie
to someone just for the sake of saving face.
Zhan Nanging saw Chi Yuhang hemming and hawing without speaking and rolled her eyes in exasperation before
speaking up for him to Qiao Jing.
"He was just askingwhy | suddenly said he was a staff member at the research institute, he doesn’t want to
lie to my mother again," she explained.
Qiao Jing pondered for a moment and pursed her lips, her gaze falling on Chi Yuhang.
"Chi Yuhang, are you willing to work at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?"
She had already considered this when she made the comment; the institute was indeed in need of someone to
organize documents, and Chi Yuhang could take on the role.
Hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Chi Yuhang'’s eyes widened in shock.
"Qiao... Doctor Qiao... what did you say?"
He couldn’t have misheard, could he? Doctor Qiao was actually asking him if he was willing to work at Professor
Qiao’s Research Institute?
But even if he was willing it would be useless!
He had no way to contact the person in charge of the research institute, and with his level of education, he
would surely be passed over.
Qiao Jing repeated herself patiently.
"Are you willing to work at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute? The institute still needs someone to organize
documents," she re-emphasized.
Before Chi Yuhang could reply, Zhan Nanging interjected.
"Qiao Jing, you're not joking with me,
are you? Although organizing
documents is much eee

right? If you can't understand the
professional terms and various
aspects in the documents, how can

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and glanced helplessly at Zhan Nanging before turning her gaze back to Chi
Yuhang.
"Chi Yuhang, are you willing? The institute's salary is higher than what you'd earn from working five jobs at the
stime," she said.
Chi Yuhang'’s eyes sparkled, he couldn't deny that he was tempted. Plus, he could work regular hours without
having to stay up late for night shifts and the like.
But he worried that he wouldn't be competent for the job, so he politely declined Qiao Jing, his voice laden with
profound regret.
"Sorry, Miss Qiao, my abilities fall short, I'm afraid | wouldn't be up for the position. You should find someone
else," he said.
In fact, upon learning that Doctor
Qiao worked not only at Wonderfy|

Yet, compared to that, he was even more astonished by the chance of him possibly working at Professor Qiao’s
Research Institute, something he had never imagined.
Zhan Nanging nodded and added her thoughts:
"Yeah, Qiao Jing, even though | know Chi Yuhang can do farming and knows a bit about agriculture, that doesn’t
mean he can handle document organization."
No sooner had her words fallen than Qiao Jing’s next sentence left her standing there speechless, her eyes
becoming complex as she looked at Chi Yuhang.
