Chapter 140 Silence is better than sound

When Gu Xi stepped out of the elevator, he saw a large office.

She looked in through the glass, there was no one in the office, but the layout inside... gave her a familiar feeling.

She closed her eyes, but she didn't expect... After she came back this time, besides Li Ming, who she had contacted before, the first two people she met were the two heavenly kings of the research institute back then.

Dr. Qi, and... the former Dean Chen.

"Don't look around, here..." Qi Xiang hurriedly followed, and just lowered his voice to remind, suddenly an elegant female voice came from behind.

"Xiao Nan, why are you here?"

Gu Xi turned around subconsciously, and saw an elegant old lady with silver hair but combed meticulously looking at them with a smile.

The old lady has a shriveled body, but she is hale and hearty. She looks the same as she did back then. She is Chen Lu, the younger sister of the Chen family's twin flowers who founded the Ability Research Institute back then.

It was also many years ago, the one in the Ability Research Institute who was always hiding behind Dean Chen... Xiao Dean Chen.

Really long time no see.

Gu Xi sighed silently.

The old lady stood behind the two with a smile, holding a pot of succulent-like plants in her hands. She glanced at Ye Nan, who was a little nervous, and quickly passed her, her gaze fell on Gu Xi.

"Xiaoxi is here too." She said with a smile.

"Yes, Dean Chen." Gu Xi also hooked her lips, but her eyes were calm and unwavering: "I'm here."

Ye Nan was a little surprised by the familiar tone of the two, and felt a little weird in addition to being surprised.

She couldn't help but looked up at the two of them.

The old lady looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Nan?"

Ye Nan came back to her senses, and smiled coquettishly as usual.

"Grandma Chen, my mother said that you left something at her place. No, I just happened to be on a long vacation recently... After a long time, my mother thought I was annoying, so I volunteered to send you something coming……"

As she said that, she passed Gu Xi directly, holding a small box in her hand, and walked up to the old lady: "Grandma Chen, look, I have returned to Zhao completely."

"You girl." The old lady smiled, took the small box casually, and handed the pot of succulents to Ye Nan, then turned and walked to the scanning sensor at the door.

Soon, the door of the office opened.

She looked back at the two girls: "Come in."

Gu Xi followed in as promised. In front, Ye Nan was holding the old lady's arm, whispering something.

The old lady raised her hand and tapped the girl's forehead, walked to the desk, picked up the intercom, and called a staff member.

She turned her head to look at Gu Xi, and smiled very kindly: "Xiao Xi, I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll let someone take you around first, and we'll talk about it later."

Gu Xi calmly glanced at Ye Nan who was standing beside her, and nodded in agreement.

Soon, a young man knocked on the door and entered.

Once inside, the old lady pointed at Gu Xi and said to him, "Xiao Zhao, take Xiao Gu to the 36th floor."

36th floor?
Thinking of what the young lady at the front desk said, Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Floor 36? President, who is she?"

"Xiao Gu is also a wood-type power user. From now on, we will be colleagues. Take her around." The old lady had already sat at the desk. Seeing this, Ye Nan quickly moved the potted succulent plant Handed over.

Gu Xi only glanced at it, then retracted her gaze calmly.

Xiao Zhao has already exchanged warm greetings: "Miss Gu, right? My name is Zhao Kun..."

Gu Xi followed Zhao Kun and left the old lady's office.

Looking at the backs of the two who had already walked away, Ye Nan finally belatedly figured out where the strange feeling just now came from.

——Dean Xiao Chen has left the Ability Research Institute for many years, and now, others will only call her President Chen; but just now, Gu Xi called her Xiao Dean Chen!
Ye Nan realized something, and the hand that was hanging on the side clenched slightly, but soon let go.

She walked to the water dispenser beside her as if nothing had happened, and got herself a glass of warm water.

After drinking half a glass of warm water, Ye Nan's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

When she turned to face the old lady again, she was the naughty and charming girl from before: "Grandma Chen, why do I feel that you and Gu Xi are very familiar?"

She asked innocently and straightforwardly, with a bit of curiosity unique to girls in her eyes.

The old lady tapped her hand in front of the light screen and paused slightly.

……

At the same time, Zhao Kun took Gu Xi through the internal passage to the 36th floor.

On the way, he took the initiative to say to Gu Xi: "The 36th floor is the communication center for our wood-type supernatural beings. Usually, outsiders are not allowed to enter, but recently because of the Nancheng incident..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then looked up at Gu Xi: "You know about Nancheng, right?"

Gu Xi thought for a while and said, "Reverse evolution of plants?"

"Yes, that's the thing." Zhao Kun gave birth to his own ID card. Gu Xi glanced at it, it was dark green, and it was a bit different from his own.

He swiped open the door on the 36th floor, turned around and told Gu Xi:

"Because of this matter, the bosses on the 36th floor have been working overtime for a week...Maybe I'm not in a good mood recently, and my temper is bad...Anyway, don't mind it."

Gu Xi nodded, followed behind him, and entered the 36th floor, which the lady at the front desk said was best not to go.

There are not many people inside, but there are all kinds of strange-shaped plants everywhere.

There are some that even Gu Xi has never seen.

Gu Xi found that everyone here seemed to be very busy, even when she saw a stranger like her coming in, she just looked up and looked away indifferently.

The indifference and indifference are vividly interpreted.

Gu Xi followed behind Zhao Kun, and walked around hastily inside, but didn't find anything unusual, so Zhao Kun couldn't wait to take her away.

After going out, Zhao Kun let out a long breath with a look of lingering fear.

Gu Xi looked at him puzzled.

Zhao Kun was a little embarrassed, smiled embarrassingly, but did not explain, but said to Gu Xi: "It's all over, I'll take you to the cafeteria on the top floor..."

The cafeteria of the Abyss Federation is located on the 48th floor.

After Zhao Kun brought the person here, he excused something and left in a hurry.

Gu Xi was a little puzzled at first, but after seeing the prices on the menu, she fell silent.

It is said that supernatural beings are not short of money, but the price is too expensive. No wonder Zhao Kun left in a hurry.

It can only be said that it is not easy for everyone these days.

The team's money is all in Wei Heng's place, and Gu Xi's account balance is not much, so he only ordered fried rice and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Perhaps it was still early at this moment, and there were only two or three people eating in the cafeteria.

Gu Xi took a look, everyone basically only ordered one dish.Sure enough, even those with supernatural powers, few of them are rich these days.

at this time.

"Tuk Tuk..."

The man's slender, strong, bony hands tapped on the table.

Following this hand, Gu Xi's eyes slowly moved up, and then they met a pair of dark eyes, deep and cold.

And the owner of these eyes is tall, with a stern face, still wearing a black training uniform, with straight long legs and military boots, and the combat belt around his waist outlines his explosive and powerful physique, showing his existence invisibly .

Ye Junhan.

Why is he here?
Gu Xi frowned subconsciously, and soon understood again.

Probably came here with Ye Nan.

Ye Junhan glanced down at the plate in front of her, and sat down opposite her.

Gu Xi: "?"

At this moment, she can be regarded as deeply aware of Zhao Kun's mood just now - she is not familiar with him at first, and she feels distressed when she treats guests;
Gu Xi raised her eyes and silently looked at the man opposite.

The man has wide shoulders, narrow waist and a straight figure, with a stern face, and he seems to have reached a new height of handsomeness.

The two looked at each other silently across a table.

She perfectly interpreted that sentence - at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Gu Xi:. Gu Xi calmly looked away and concentrated on cooking.

Ye Junhan: "."

After a while, Ye Junhan raised a hand and ordered the plate in front of her: "Is it delicious?"

Gu Xi glanced at him, and seriously finished eating all the food on the plate, before looking up and nodding: "The taste is okay?"

But to be honest, it can't compare to Wei Heng's craftsmanship.

Ye Junhan leaned back slightly, leaned back on the dining chair, and looked at her silently.

There was some kind of emotion that Gu Xi couldn't understand in his eyes.

She hesitated again and again, but still asked, "Do you want a copy?"

Ye Junhan lowered his eyes and glanced at the dinner plate in front of her that was clean enough to be used as a mirror, then raised his eyes: "No."

"Oh."

Since he doesn't eat, she doesn't have to worry about it.

Gu Xi calmly pulled the tissue beside him, wiped his mouth, and said casually: "Ye Nan should still be on the 37th floor, you..."

Ye Junhan frowned invisibly, then said coldly, "I didn't come to find her."

Gu Xi was puzzled, and the man raised his eyes to look at her: "I am a lightning-type supernatural being, the peak of level nine."

So?

Gu Xi raised her eyes and looked over, feeling a little confused, wondering which song the person in front of her was singing?
Could it be that he came here to see his cooking?
