1853 Only One Selection Every Three Years, Outsiders Once Entered
Qiao Nian had just blacklisted He Lin when she thought of the message he sent her previously. Then, she saw Ji Nanâs concerned expression.
Thank you readers!
Qiao Nian was distracted for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Then, she restrained the glimmer in her eyes, put her phone back, and replied vaguely, âI suddenly want to enter it. Thereâs no other reason.â
Ji Nan was not stupid. Otherwise, he would not have been able to thrive in the financial world. He was known as the younger version of the stock marketâs Warren Buffett.
Although the baseball cap covered the girlâs eyes, he could still see that she was distracted when he mentioned the First Research Institute.
Something must have happened to her!
Logically speaking, the First Research Institute was a taboo existence to the major families of the Independent Continent. They wouldnât casually mention it to outsiders.
However, Ji Nan couldnât explain why. He especially liked Qiao Nian and was soft-hearted. He didnât even want to pursue the matter to the end. âItâs very difficult to enter the number one research institute in the Independent Continent. This research institute gathers the most cutting-edge technology and resources of the continent. The Ji family only has one slot every three years, and we also need to pass the assessment. If the person we recommend doesnât pass the assessment, they wonât be able to enter either. The Ji Ziyin you saw at the banquet entered the research institute three years ago. She specializes in black gunpowder. No one has been able to enter the research institute in the past two years⦠Iâm afraid itâll be even harder for you to enter since youâre not from the independent Continent.â
This kind of power center that involved an entire continent would definitely not allow outsiders to enter.
That was the rule.
âYou canât enter unless youâre from the Independent Continent?â Qiao Nian didnât know about this. This was the first time she was hearing this rule.
âIn principle, yes.â Ji Nan couldnât bear to disappoint her. He thought about it again and continued, âBut there are also exceptions. I know of a person in the First Research Institute who isnât from the Independent Continent. Heâs from the illegal district. He came to the Independent Continent in his early years and, for some reason, participated in the assessment later on. He became the first place in the assessment back then and naturally entered the research institute⦠I remember that it caused quite a stir at that time. Itâs just that that person didnât stay long. He only stayed in the First Research Institute for less than a year before leaving.â
Ji Nan reminisced. It was obvious that he did not really remember this matter.
âItâs said that the First Research Institute changed the rules for him a few times during his year there. He was a very talented person.â
âWho?â Qiao Nian had a strange feeling, but she couldnât tell the exact reason.
Someone from the illegal districtâ¦
Ji Nan shook his head. âI donât know. The matters of the First Research Institute have always been confidential in the Independent Continent. I donât pay much attention to their matters.â
He smiled upon seeing that Qiao Nian seemed to be deep in thought. âIf you want to know, Iâll help you ask Ji Ziyin later. She should know.â
Ji Nan and Ji Ziyinâs relationship was very ordinary. If Qiao Nian wasnât interested in this, he probably wouldnât look for Ji Ziyin even once a year.
However, Qiao Nian shook her head and pulled down her baseball cap, seemingly uninterested. âNo need. I just asked casually.â
Ji Nan glanced at her as he drove.
