novelxo Chapter 1552 What A Sharp-Tongued Mouth
Chapter 1552 What a Sharp-Tongued Mouth Stanley glanced at the irritable Black Crow and said, "She has already arranged everything." "Beatrice is not a concern. The one we need to guard against is Robert," the man replied.
Robert had cto the capital city himself, and his goal was undoubtedly to root out any potential threats before Selena returned to the Empire.
When the man's nwas mentioned, both Black Crow and White Crow's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Stanley walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Federal Empire. His gentle and elegant expression was rare with a hint of ruthlessness.
White Crow frowned at Stanley's back and asked, "She has returned to the Empire. Are you sure it's okay for you not to go back?" Stanley's lips curved up in an enigmatic smile. "It doesn't matter. Even if she has everything figured out, she still won't succeed.” From the moment Lillian opened her eyes, she was destined to lose.
Not only her, but Osvaldo would lose too! White Crow didn't understand where Stanley's confidence cfrom. He just looked at the man's cold and ruthless back with a worried expression.
Compared to the situation in the Empire, he was more concerned about Stanley's feelings towards Selena.
Aluxurious car landed on the tarmac of the capital city's airport.
The stewardess opened the cabin door, and a woman dressed in a white dress with glasses and an elegant and capable demeanor walked out first, followed by a group of exquisitely dressed people. Their expressions were either arrogant or serious, and at first glance, their aura was overwhelming.
Beatrice walked out of the VIP channel with a group of researchers from the Central City.
She had originally thought she would see Selena waiting outside, bowing and smiling to welcher. But when her gaze swept over the crowded waiting room, her smile froze.
She adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and asked her assistant in a cold voice, "Hasn't anyone from the H Country Institute cto pick us up?" Upon hearing her words, the researchers behind her also grew cold.
The Central City's position was unrivaled, and they controlled the world's most advanced research and technology.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that most of what the other research institutes played with were what they had left over.
Sharing their technical patents was an opportunity that other research institutes couldn't even beg for, but now that they had taken the initiative to come, the other side didn't even send someone to pick them up. It was too disrespectful.
The assistant was about to make a phone call, but suddenly she heard footsteps coming from ahead.
"Sorry, Miss White, I'm late," said a woman's voice.
Beatrice thought it was Selena and looked up with a hopeful smirk, but she didn't see the familiar face and her smile faded.
Instead, a young woman she didn't know, wearing a lab coat and looking apologetic and anxious, rushed over with a few people.
Lydia, accompanied by her team, cup to Beatrice and sincerely bowed to her, "I'm sorry, Miss White, our director arranged forto receive you yesterday by phone, but I forgot about the tthis morning because I was researching sdata. Please forgive me..." Upon hearing Lydia's explanation, the researchers’ faces immediately looked much better.
Scientists often miss things because of their experiments, and it's almost a common problem. Plus, Lydia's attitude was sincere, so the group forgave her.
Beatrice looked at Lydia, and her smile was a bit cold, "I call the way from the central city as a representative. Isn't it worth having the director of your prestigious research institution personally receive me?" Lydia frowned, and her previously bent body straightened up in an instant.
She looked at Beatrice seriously and shook her head, "Our director has many meetings to attend, various experiments to conduct, and lectures to give to students. She's very busy... Receiving guests is a small matter that wouldn't disturb her.” Beatrice's smile grew even colder, "Is your research institution looking down on our central city?" Lydia's frown deepened, and she sincerely asked, "Why would you say that, Miss White?" The venomous look in Beatrice's eyes beneath her glasses overflowed, "If you were sincere, you'd know the difference between your research institution and our central city. It's an honor for your institution to cooperate with us. If this were another country, they'd be on their knees and grateful, and the director of the other party would personally cto greet us..." Lydia was straightforward and couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind Beatrice's words, but she understood her intentions.
The other party was determined to have Selena personally receive her, and the contemptuous tone in her words was so obvious! Lydia's face immediately turned cold, "Miss White, you're mistaken. It was the central city who took the initiative to propose this cooperation. H Country doesn't necessarily have to cooperate with you!" "If you don't want to, you can just go back home!" "The director of the H Country Research Institute was a talented graduate of Lab 717. With her on our team, obtaining this technology is only a matter of time, and we don't need her to grovel to anyone." "Also, please make it clear, the cooperation between the H Country Research Institute and the Central City is based on mutual equality. There is no one more noble than the other!" "You are an academician of the institute, and I am a first-class mechanic of the country. Our professional titles are equal. It's not beneath you forto cand pick you up!" "Unless the director of the Central City Research Institute comes in person, no one is qualified to let our director cout to greet her!" Lydia's words were self-righteous to the extreme.
Beatrice not only failed to achieve her goal but was also very angry.
She took a deep look at Lydia and said, "What a sharp tongue you have." Then she got into the car that was sent to pick her up by the research institute, with a calm expression and no abnormality.
Lydia was chilled by the last look Beatrice gave her before leaving.
She turned to look and saw that Beatrice had already boarded the car, looking calm and without any abnormalities.
It should be her own misinterpretation.
Lydia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling no sense of offending someone just now. She led the people from the research institute and also got on the car.
In the villa.
Selena sat in front of the dressing table, putting on earrings and asking Leia about what happened at the airport.
Leia vividly recounted the conversation between Lydia and Beatrice, and then said excitedly, "Madam Selena, you are smart. I didn't realize before that Miss Turner is actually talented in reception work." Last night, Selena called Lydia after returning hand asked her to go to the airport to receive the Central City representative tomorrow. She also specifically instructed her not to take it to heart.
Selena chuckled, "Being straightforward is a disadvantage, but at certain times, it can also be a weapon that doesn't require bloodshed..." MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
