When Yan Qi heard Ji Li's words, he didn't know how to respond. He gently tapped the box in his arms with his fingers, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Although I don’t feel any apology, I still have to act. After all, I just came out of the movie actor training class...

Ji Li turned his head and looked forward when he heard Yan Qi's words. He hadn't expected someone to reach out to him so impatiently. This was definitely not something a few of them, small officials, would dare to do on their own.

If Yan Qi hadn't noticed it so keenly, he would have had to wait until the results came out to find out.

Seeing that Ji Li hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Qi moved over and gently bumped his arm with his shoulder.

Could it be that my acting is so bad that I silenced him...

He held the steering wheel in silence for a while and said, "You shouldn't say sorry. I'm the one who should apologize."

As for the person behind this, he will make him pay the price.

After hearing what he said, Yan Qi didn't say anything. He just sat in the passenger seat and looked at Ji Li's profile quietly.

Perhaps because the two of them sat in the car in silence for too long, Ji Li couldn't help but look at the time. Seeing that it was almost afternoon, he asked Yan Qi, "Have you eaten?"

"I ate it." Yan Qi stared at Ji Li's face without a trace of emotion, and said lightly, "I just suffered a loss in silence."

Damn Uncle Xiao!

She had no one to vent the heartache of being cheated out of 50,000 star coins.

Ji Li: “…”

It seems that he really cares about what happens in the selection department.

The hovercar leaps into traffic like a sleek silverfish, its sleek lines and striking logo betraying its owner's wealth. Even in the bustling heart of a core city, such cars are rare.

Car owners consciously stay away from it. If they can't afford to offend it, can't they just avoid it?

Yan Qi watched the gentle drizzle begin outside the car window, the city shrouded in a thin layer of white gauze. The steel jungle had a unique softness on a rainy day, and she was lost in thought.

The buildings along the way kept changing, and the surrounding scenery changed from being surrounded by high-rise buildings to a gorgeous manor. When Ji Li drove the hover car to the garage and stopped, Yan Qi was a little stunned. Could this be Ji Li's home?

I only heard Ji Li's voice beside me: "Get off the car."

Yan Qi felt an atmosphere completely different from the outside, so he obediently held the box and followed Ji Li into the elevator.

"Young Master." A well-dressed, gray-haired old man wearing glasses came forward.

Ji Li asked, "Is Assistant Tian back?"

"Assistant Tian has arrived and is waiting in the conference room." Butler Tu replied.

Ji Li pulled Yan Qi upstairs. Yan Qi was confused. "Ji Li, why did you bring me to your house? Aren't we going to eat?"

After hearing this, Ji Li felt that the other person's mind seemed to have nothing but food, so he could not help but increase the strength of his hands a little, and said in a voice with a hint of gritted teeth, "Don't worry, I will let you eat enough later."

Ji Li pulled Yan Qi by the wrist and dragged him all the way to the meeting room.

Assistant Tian had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Assistant Tian saw them coming in hand in hand and quickly stood up from his seat. He handed the information to Ji Li with a serious and professional look on his face, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Yan Qi.

Did he read that correctly?

The young master just came in holding this boy’s hand, right?

Could he be the mysterious man who makes the young master's mood fluctuate?

Hmm... this looks really good...

Ji Li walked over to the office chair, sat down with his long legs crossed, and looked at the information on the electronic board. He said nonchalantly: "Secretary Tian, ​​do you also think the scenery in the office is nice today?"

This sentence made Secretary Tian immediately restrain his scattered thoughts and he no longer dared to look at Yan Qi.

Secretary Tian coughed lightly and said seriously, "Young Master, the people in the Selection Department have been dealt with. Several senior executives are under investigation by the whistleblower committee, and two key personnel have been demoted and transferred to remote planets. The remaining responsible staff have been given demerits and their bonuses have been deducted for three months. As for the nephew of one of the responsible personnel, since he has no military rank, we don't know what to do with him."

"Find a reason to expel him to a planet below Class D." Ji Li focused on the words on the virtual screen in front of him, as if he was asking for a cup of coffee.

Yan Qi sat on the sofa next to him, sipping hot tea and looking around the spacious conference room boredly.

Compared to this beautiful and elegant manor, this house looks serious and neat.

Upon entering, you'll see a row of wooden bookshelves filled with a wide variety of books. In a space world with scarce resources and advanced technology, books are expensive. Everyone chooses electronic versions or holographic projections for reading.

The average family needs half a month's income to buy a single book. Books are expensive and have no room for appreciation, so they are not suitable for ordinary families. This wall of books could have been a family's food supply for many years.

Ji Li’s family is really rich!

Yan Qi sat aside and listened to their conversation. She couldn't help but smile knowingly. No wonder Ji Li suddenly took her home. It turned out that he wanted her to know what happened to those people.

And this move is so big, it seems that the entire armament selection department needs to be reshuffled.

Yan Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this General Ji is indeed as rumored, with tremendous power and thundering methods.

However, Yan Qi was still a little surprised, thinking that it was just a matter of lifting it high and letting it go lightly.

Something is really wrong...

After all, the relationships in the military were complex and intertwined, and it was very likely that one move would affect the entire army. No matter how one looked at it, Ji Li was taking advantage of her by inviting her to participate in the arms race.

It's not worth going through all this trouble for her.

After all, they weren't familiar enough, were they?

Yan Qi held the tea, looked at Ji Li's handsome face and asked him silently in his heart,

Why do you care so much about someone you've only just met?

Perhaps it was because Yan Qi's gaze was too focused and too direct, Ji Li turned her head slightly with a slight movement, and those amber-gold eyes looked back at her straight.

Just like the look they gave each other when they first met downstairs in the dormitory, staring at each other with the determination to never give up.

Yan Qi felt burned by Ji Li's eyes, but he did not look away. He silently mouthed, "I'm hungry." After saying that, he put down the water cup in his hand and patted his stomach.

Ji Li retracted his gaze, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said casually to Assistant Tian: "Okay, let's stop here for today's report."

Secretary Tian used to be overjoyed to hear this, but today, with the presence of a strange, handsome young man, his gossipy spirit was ignited!

I have never seen such a young master!

However, under the strong pressure from Ji Li, Secretary Tian had no choice but to walk away looking back every few steps.
