1878 Never Seen This Person Before



After the commotion, everyone became nervous.

However, the staff member who had rushed over did not immediately sit down in his seat. Instead, he especially squeezed through the crowd and walked toward Zhou Zhou. He greeted her very respectfully, "Leader Zhou, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were bringing a friend over to sign up? I would have come earlier."

He was very perceptive and looked at the girl standing beside Zhou Zhou. He was stunned for a moment before he immediately came back to his senses and continued to curry favor with Zhou Zhou. "This is your friend, right? She's really young and promising."

The lounge had been exceptionally quiet even since the staff member had arrived. Thus, everyone saw the staff greet and talk politely to Zhou Zhou.

Leader Zhou?

Someone whispered, "Could that person be from the First Research Institute? I heard him call her Team Leader Zhou? Is that person from the First Research Institute so young?"

"I remember that the person in charge of the third laboratory is surnamed Zhou, but I don't know her name. Could this person be her…" A short and fat man lowered his voice and was a little agitated. His face was red.

The surrounding people looked in Zhou Zhou and Qiao Nian's direction in shock, and their eyes soon became fanatical.

This area was only the office area of the First Research Institute. It did not involve the laboratories at all.

It was difficult to see anyone so high up, not to mention one of the heads of the eight laboratories.

Someone noticed Zhou Zhou, and naturally, someone noticed Qiao Nian, who had been beside her.

The girl had a powerful aura around her. It was not especially to show off her ability, but it was enough to make people look at her.

She was wearing a dark-colored woolen sweater, a light gray scarf, and a black baseball cap. She stood casually at the side, and they did not hear her speak the entire time.

It also seemed like everything was under her control.

"I've never seen this person before. Does anyone know her? Which family is she from?"

"I don't know."

"The Ji family has Ji Hongfeng this year, and the Xie family has Xie Yu. The other factions don't seem to have such a young girl…"

The forces of the Independent Continent were extremely complicated. Many small forces would also think of ways to get their people to seize this opportunity to take the assessment.

They were hoping for a miracle. If their people could enter the research institute, their faction would also rise with them.

Therefore, the people who came to participate in the assessment usually had the support of a faction behind them. Otherwise, whether it was experiments or research, they were all money-burning businesses. If they had no support, unless they were already very rich, it would be difficult for them to advance further with their talent.

Qiao Nian heard their discussions. Those voices were very soft, but she still caught them.

However, she leaned against the side and did not take it to heart.

Finally, Zhou Zhou finished speaking to that person politely. She walked over with a smile and patted her shoulder. Then, she lowered his voice and said, "Baby, you're the first to sign up. Hurry up and go. There are too many people here. We'll leave after you sign up."

"Okay." Qiao Nian followed the staff member to the registration desk.

The staff member sat down and quickly turned on the computer.
