Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!
Chapter 29: She Can’t Attend the Engagement Ceremony!
CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: SHE CAN’T ATTEND THE ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY!
Royal Academy, an ultra-elite institution in the empire, even more prominent than Imperial University.
The academic standards of Royal Academy represent the highest standards of the empire; in some fields, it even represents international standards.
Since Principal Zhou of Royal Academy has such high regard for that "little friend"...
Nalan Ye Jue pondered for a moment: "Wait until she finishes the testing, and resend the complete report to me."
Principal Zhou nodded: "Alright. However, I can’t guarantee the timing, as she’s just helping out." He said, feeling slightly wistful—
"Moreover... I don’t know what’s happening with her lately, I can’t reach her phone."
Nalan Ye Jue frowned slightly: "I can wait."
Principal Zhou: "Alright. Then I’ll take my leave now."
The deputy general manager, just about to leave outside the conference room, heard this conversation and almost cried like a two-hundred-pound dog—
He suggested investigating the identity of the academic giant QUEEN, but Young Master wasn’t interested.
But now for a test report on a robot, for the opinion of a little kid technician inside, Young Master is willing to wait for her.
The contrast is too hurtful!
The wise and great Young Master, has he recently turned into a muddle-headed ruler?!
Bai Chi, unlike the deputy general manager, didn’t know Principal Zhou, nor did he care about any missing little technician; he enthusiastically rushed into the conference room, heading straight for Nalan Ye Jue.
"Jue, guess what big thing I did today?"
Holding a big secret in his heart, wanting to say but holding back.
It’s like when he was a child and scored straight A’s in five subjects abroad for the first time, but deliberately held back from saying it, just waiting for the moment when family elders asked about his results during the New Year.
But Nalan Ye Jue just wouldn’t ask.
Not only did he not ask, but he also started signing documents as if no one else was around.
Until...
The secretary, Lu Bing, nervously came in with documents, reporting: "Young Master Jue, about the engagement, there’s a bit of trouble with the Qin Family..."
Halfway through speaking, he noticed Bai Chi on the sofa with his legs crossed, ears perked up and eyes gleaming, so Lu Bing quickly shut his mouth.
Although Bai Chi wanted to hear the gossip, he also knew he should avoid it at this time both in terms of emotion and reason.
However, he had already caught the key point!
"Qin Family"!
Turns out the Little Sister-in-law’s last name is "Qin"!
Although Qin Wenrou is a bit different from the Little Sister-in-law he imagined, since Jue has acknowledged her, he will treat her as his sister-in-law!
Bai Chi stroked his chin: "I’ll go take a look at your robot exhibition hall..."
After Bai Chi left.
Lu Bing then continued to report: "Master, the Qin Family says there might be some difficulty with the engagement."
Nalan Ye Jue looked up from the documents: "What kind of difficulty?"
It was the Qin Family who actively brought the marriage contract, asking him to fulfill the promise.
And now it’s the Qin Family again saying there are difficulties?
Could it be that the Qin Family’s small business, which would collapse with a breeze, is running out of money?
However.
Lu Bing’s answer took him by surprise: "Master, the Qin Family said that Miss Qin... she... can’t attend the engagement ceremony..."
Nalan Ye Jue: "..."
Lu Bing could feel the pressure around rising, the temperature dropping by over ten degrees!
He hurriedly explained under pressure: "I heard the Qin Family is facing great trouble in their business recently, there are riots in their factory, shareholders are in internal conflict, the capital chain has ruptured, and the Qin Family is probably in trouble. Could it be that Miss Qin is using the engagement as an opportunity to ask you for more betrothal gifts to help them overcome the crisis?"
He saw Nalan Ye Jue’s face darken, knowing he was angry, speculated, and continued suggesting: "Master, since the Qin Family is so greedy and wants more money, why don’t we take this chance to annul the engagement, anyway this small household..."
Isn’t worthy of his master!
Moreover, thinking that a new lady would come in and Miss Qingxin’s life would become even harder, he felt a pang of reluctance.
The low-pressure atmosphere in the room lingered!
After a while.
Nalan Ye Jue coldly uttered a few words: "If money can solve it, then solve it."
