Chapter 2116 Reunion of old friends

Compared with the Earth where Ye Ye lived before, the situation in this land is very different. Here, you can never infer a person's true age based on appearance alone. Especially for those who practice the Body Cultivation Technique, their blood and qi are extremely abundant, which greatly slows down the aging process. Some people who are obviously in their sixties or seventies should have white hair according to common sense, but in fact they still maintain a young appearance of about twenty years old.

Not only that, the life span of the spiritual cultivators has also been greatly extended due to the deep development of their spiritual power and the improvement of their life level. Even at the end of their lives, they can use some special methods to keep their appearance forever, like a child. Just like Tian Qi who is standing in front of Ye Ye at this moment.

Ye Ye couldn't remember the last time he saw Tian Qi, but from Tian Qi's perspective, a thousand years had passed. However, compared to the Tian Qi that Ye Ye saw at that time, Tian Qi's appearance had not changed much, except that the original youthfulness on her body had disappeared, replaced by maturity and calmness, and... breasts.

The badge in front.

Minister of Armed Manufacturing Department? This is a very impressive position! Even though Ye Ye was not very clear about Tian Qi's specific position on Morning Star, the three words "Armed Manufacturing Department" alone fully demonstrated the value and importance of this position.

At this moment, Ye Ye suddenly stopped without any warning, as if he was fixed in place by an invisible force. His eyes fell directly on a person not far in front of him, and they stared at each other at a distance of more than ten meters.

Seeing this, Lu Yue, who was standing behind Ye Ye, also stopped silently. He stood slightly behind Ye Ye, looking at the two people in front of him curiously, trying to interpret some information from their expressions and movements.

After a while, Lu Yue's eyes accidentally swept across the badge on Tian Qi's chest. His eyes suddenly lit up, and an indescribable excitement suddenly surged in his heart. It turned out that the familiar-looking man in front of him was actually Tian Qi, the Minister of the Armed Forces!

Lu Yue couldn't help but think of the reports about Tian Qi that he had seen on TV before. This man was a founding father of China and the leader of one of the most important departments in China! His name and deeds were well-known in China.

Lu Yue once again cast his eyes on Ye Ye in front of him, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes. He muttered to himself.

"No, you know this too?"

And judging from the other party's posture, it was obvious that they were waiting here for them to come out.

"Why, after not seeing you for so many years, you don't recognize me?"

Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian stood side by side, her eyes fixed on the seemingly calm grandmother beside her. However, only she knew that her grandmother was actually very nervous, even her whole body was stiff.

Tian Qingtian was very sensible. He realized his grandmother's nervousness, so he didn't say anything, but just quietly observed the other person - Ye Ye. Ye Ye's eyes also fell on Tian Qingtian, and curiosity was revealed in his eyes.

However, when Ye Ye's eyes met Tian Qi's, he did not take the initiative to speak like Tian Qingtian, but remained silent. Seeing this, Tian Qi finally couldn't help but break the deadlock first.

Her tone was steady, but mixed with a hint of complaint.

And Ye Ye also gave a response.

"It's not that I can't recognize you...but why are you here?"

Ye Ye hesitated for a moment and spoke, as if he didn't know how to answer Tian Qi's question. In other words, he didn't know how to deal with the events of the two overlapping timelines.

At this moment, Tian Qi was wearing a black women's suit, which was well-cut and smooth, and looked particularly formal and solemn, as could be seen from the badge on her chest.

What is different from before is that Tian Qi's once shoulder-length hair has now grown into long hair, falling behind her like a waterfall, gently brushing her neck, fluttering with her movements, exuding an elegant temperament.

She was wearing a standard black knee-length skirt, which fell just above her knees, showing off her slender legs. The length of the skirt was not too revealing, but also allowed people to appreciate her two snow-white calves, with beautiful lines and delicate skin.

Tian Qi is wearing a pair of black high heels with a moderate height, which not only increases her height but also does not look too abrupt. This pair of black high heels complements her overall outfit and adds a mysterious atmosphere, which makes people have some reverie about her.

Compared to her youthful appearance in the past, Tian Qi is now more like a ripe peach, exuding charming charm. Her appearance has become more mature and confident, and her every move reveals a kind of elegance and charm that makes it impossible to ignore her presence.

"If I don't come to you, I'm afraid you won't come to me either."

Tian Qi raised her lips slightly, looking at Ye Ye with a smile, a smile mixed with a little resentment and helplessness. She didn't seem to intend to respond directly to Ye Ye's question, but spoke in a slightly teasing tone.

Tian Qingtian stood aside, looking at Tian Qi's expression, and felt goose bumps all over her body. She couldn't help but regret participating in this matter. After all, she didn't want to see Tian Qi lose his composure like this. Moreover, if the family knew that Tian Qi would show such an expression...

Seeing this, Ye Ye sighed helplessly. He knew very well that he seemed to be somewhat out of tune with this world. Whether it was this planet or this era, he felt a deep sense of alienation. However, since Tian Qi had come to him, he could not ignore her.

"I didn't mean to disturb you, but... never mind, since you're here, let's talk a little more. Let's find a place to chat for a while?"

Ye Ye's tone was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether Tian Qi would accept his proposal.

When Tian Qi heard Ye Ye's words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She naturally wanted it. After all, she came to Ye Ye just to chat with him for a while.

At this time, Lu Yue, who had been silent all the time, seemed to have noticed something, and he quickly interrupted.

"Okay, let's find a place to chat. We are all friends after all."

"Uncle Liu just sent me a message saying that he has almost sorted out everything over there, and he also said that if we have time, we can go to his place for dinner tonight to show our support. How about we go to his place?"

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise and asked.

"So fast?"

"Yes, the authorities acted very quickly and even prepared everything for Uncle Liu in advance. He can just leave it alone when he goes there."

After Lu Yue finished speaking, Ye Ye looked at Tian Qi, as if waiting for her response.

"It's up to you."

Tian Qi shrugged, a hint of playfulness appeared on his face, and he glanced at Lu Yue with a look of satisfaction, then spoke.

"Let's go, let's go to Uncle Liu, Lu Yue, you lead the way."

Ye Ye nodded and looked at Lu Yue.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yue quickly made a gesture of invitation. Facing such a legendary big shot, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.

Along the way, Ye Ye and Lu Yue walked side by side, with a distance of only half a meter between them, but they did not talk at all. Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian lagged behind them by a few steps, keeping a certain distance from them.

The four of them walked in silence, and no one broke the silence. Perhaps because the atmosphere was a little awkward, or perhaps because this was not a suitable place for conversation, everyone chose to remain silent and wait until they reached their destination before talking.

However, this silence did not last long. When they arrived in front of a courtyard, Liu Zhuangshi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Ye Ye and Lu Yue, he immediately showed a happy smile on his face, and hurried forward to greet them warmly.

"Brother Ye, Brother Lu, you are finally here!"

Liu Zhuangshi said excitedly.

"Come in, come in!"

As he said that, he led Ye Ye and Lu Yue into the yard, and at the same time, he did not forget to look back at Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian who were following behind them.

However, when Liu Zhuangshi's gaze fell on Tian Qi, he suddenly seemed to be frozen, standing still, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Brother Ye, this..." Liu Zhuangshi looked at Ye Ye at a loss, and then secretly glanced at Tian Qi, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

In comparison, Lu Yue is still young after all, and he doesn't pay much attention to national affairs. He rarely even watches the news broadcast, so naturally he couldn't recognize who Tian Qi is.

But Liu Zhuangshi was different. He recognized Tian Qi at first sight.

"Let's find a private room...we'll talk later..."

"OK........."

Liu Zhuangshi looked at the spacious and luxurious private room in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He swallowed nervously, and then quickly led Ye Ye and others into the private room.

The scale of the Huaguo Starship Academy is amazing, and the place chosen by the authorities for Liu Zhuangshi is located directly opposite the main gate of the academy, which is undoubtedly the most prosperous area. There are countless stores with the Ning family logo, and Liu Zhuangshi's Lao Liujia BBQ seems a bit out of place among them.

Liu Zhuangshi's store is relatively small, with two floors totaling only about 300 square meters. However, in this place where land prices are expensive and it is also the Ning family's territory, it is not easy to own such a store.

Liu Zhuangshi carefully led Ye Ye and others into the store and walked straight to the largest and most luxurious private room. When he pushed open the door of the private room, a faint fragrance came to his face, making people feel particularly comfortable.

After entering the private room, Liu Zhuangshi found that Tian Qi had not spoken, which made him a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Minister Tian, I just took over here today. If there is anything that is not good enough for me, I hope you can forgive me."

Tian Qi smiled slightly, revealing a friendly smile, and replied.

“It’s nice here, very clean.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, which made Liu Zhuangshi's originally nervous mood relax a little.

Before coming here, Tian Qi had a good understanding of Ye Ye's recent actions through various channels. Not only that, she also knew the story and origin behind this store. So, when she faced Ye Ye's friends, Tian Qi naturally showed a warm and friendly smile.

However, when Tian Qi found out the truth about these things, he was very angry, and even burned with rage. This was also the first time Tian Qingtian saw Tian Qi so angry, because in her impression, Tian Qi has always been a calm and rational person.

"Li Lingzhi! I'll remember you! You even hid it from me!"

Tian Qi said indignantly, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Lingzhi's concealment of the truth.

"No, no! I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to take the initiative and not let them get ahead of me!

"The more Tian Qi thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't just let it go. She decided to take some actions to change the current situation.

While Tian Qi was talking to herself, Liu Zhuangshi seemed a little surprised at her easy talk. After all, with Tian Qi's identity and status, ordinary people would not dare to provoke her easily. However, Liu Zhuangshi quickly came to his senses and said quickly.

"Please take a seat first. I'll go to the kitchen and arrange some food."

As Liu Zhuangshi spoke, he winked at Ye Ye and turned to leave the room. Ye Ye naturally understood what Liu Zhuangshi meant. He sighed helplessly, and watching Liu Zhuangshi's back as he left, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Liu Zhuangshi was really a smart man.

"I'll go explain to my friend why you came here... otherwise he might not be able to enjoy the meal in peace. You guys take a seat first."

Ye Ye's words revealed a hint of helplessness and apology. He knew that if he didn't make things clear, Liu Zhuangshi might be confused or even uneasy about Tian Qi's appearance.

Tian Qi nodded to show her understanding. She sat quietly on the chair and watched Ye Ye turn around and prepare to leave the room.

However, at this moment, Lu Yue suddenly stood up and spoke anxiously.

"I'm going too! I'm going too! Director Tian, Teacher Tian, please take a seat first!"

So, Ye Ye and Lu Yue walked out of the private room one after another, leaving Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian inside.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian left. Tian Qingtian looked at Tian Qi and found that her cheeks were slightly red, as if the tension just now had been relieved.

Tian Qingtian didn't know what to say. He remembered that just now in the Oriental Star, Tian Qi asked him to help choose a suitable meeting outfit. They picked and picked, but still couldn't find a satisfactory one. In the end, Tian Qi decided to wear her usual business clothes, after all, that was the outfit she was most familiar with and comfortable with.

Tian Qingtian also thought that Tian Qi looked the most beautiful in the black suit, so he didn't insist. This is how the scene in the private room just now happened, Tian Qi appeared in front of everyone in her usual image.
