Chapter 2974 Shadow Is Here to Deliver a Gift

Qiao Nian guessed this was also one of Nie Qixing’s methods to prevent party crashers. She casually took out a magnetic card from her pocket and handed it to the staff member. "The 33rd floor."

Those who could go to the 30th to 33rd floors today were all the most distinguished guests.

After verifying the magnetic card’s authenticity, the staff member’s attitude changed from perfunctory to humble.

He quickly pressed the button for the 33rd floor.

Not daring to say anything else, he lowered his head to reduce his presence and stood quietly.

Ding!

They quickly reached the 33rd floor.

Qiao Nian walked out of the elevator and looked at the crowd in the corridor. She lowered the brim of her cap, revealing her snow-white chin, and said to Ye Wangchuan, "Wait for me. I’ll go look for Nie Qixing."

"Yeah." Ye Wangchuan walked to an inconspicuous corner.

Qiao Nian quickly walked in another direction.

It was almost eleven o’clock.

More and more guests arrived at the 33rd floor.

Some people were in charge of receiving guests below, while others arranged for guests to check-in. As he was good at socializing, Zhang Yin was arranged to receive the guests on the 33rd floor.

Short and fat, Zhang Yin wore a blue suit with a bow at the collar, looking like a waiter.

Fortunately, he was very good at socializing. He welcomed the guests and sent them on their way.

It was Nie Qixing’s birthday today.

There were many guests.

Zhang Yin also brought his own people to help.

His friend watched as Zhang Yin sent another celebrity who could only be seen on TV to a seat in surprise. Pulling him aside, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who is Professor Nie? The guests don’t look like people who would attend a university professor’s birthday party."

Zhang Yin rolled his eyes at his incredulous words and pulled away in anger. "Didn’t you not believe me when I told you that day?"

He was talking about a few days ago when they had dinner with Nie Qixing.

He had said something wrong when he sent Nie Qixing out.

His friend made snide remarks, saying stupid things like "Professor Nie looks very easy to get along with"!

His friend scratched his head and coughed awkwardly. "I was not acquainted with him before, right?"

Zhang Yin wiped the sweat off his forehead and did not hide it from him. "I don’t know. I only know he’s surrounded by top political figures.

"As for how powerful his backer is…"

Zhang Yin looked at his friend without hiding anything. "I’m not sure, either. I don’t think his identity is something I can come into contact with. Therefore, I won’t ask. I just pretend I don’t know anything and curry favor with him. Some things are better left unsaid!"

His friend’s expression turned thoughtful.

Zhang Yin did not care what he thought. Seeing a man in black walking over with a wooden box, his expression changed and he hurriedly went over. "Why are you here personally? Young Master Qi is still making a call at the staircase. Let me call him."

The man in black was Shadow, the Empress’ right-hand man.

He remembered seeing a fatty beside Nie Qixing—Zhang Yin. He said coldly, "There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’m just here to deliver a gift. I’ll be leaving right after."
