Chapter 1225

Upon hearing that she would have to part with her own brother, Xu Yue timidly raised her hand: "Um, um, am I really going to be separated from my brother?"

Xu Ri was also somewhat worried about this; he and his own sister had hardly ever been apart, and the sudden prospect of separation made him feel very uncomfortable.

Actually, it is best for the two of them to separate; if they stay together all the time, Xu Yue will remain dependent on Xu Ri, which is not a good thing for Xu Yue.

After all, this is the apocalypse; she still needs to possess the ability to think and survive on her own.

"The two of you cannot be together forever." Ning Chen looked at Xu Ri and said only that.

Xu Ri fell silent; what Ning Chen said was indeed true, and he could not protect his own sister every single moment.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yue also understood something; she tugged at Xu Ri's hem: "Brother, I was just a little surprised just now, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Once the grouping was completed, there was nothing more to instruct, so Ning Chen dismissed everyone.

After everyone else had left, only Gu Yanqi and Noah remained.

Gu Yanqi looked at Noah, who was sitting motionless in his seat, then glanced at Ning Chen, rose, and planned to leave for a moment to let the two of them talk.

Ning Chen, quick-eyed and fast-handed, directly pulled the just-risen Gu Yanqi back down to sit; the two interlaced their fingers, and Gu Yanqi struggled slightly but found she could not break free.

At this moment, there was still one person in the room, and moreover, someone not very familiar; such a display of affection made Gu Yanqi blush with embarrassment.

Compared to Gu Yanqi's thin skin, Ning Chen showed no emotional fluctuation at all and calmly asked Noah what he wanted.

Noah looked at Ning Chen, then swept his gaze over Gu Yanqi, and asked: "Why did you agree to my joining so quickly?"

Clearly, your team members did not agree.

The second sentence Noah did not voice; he simply looked at Ning Chen like that.

"If I had not agreed, would you have given up?"

"No."

"Then my answer is simple: I fear trouble."

Noah fell somewhat silent; he had not expected the reason for the other's agreement to be a fear of trouble.

"However, I am curious: why do you want to join us?"

Ning Chen had asked Noah this question before, but his answer at that time was too vague; it was his thought, yet not the most important one.

Asked by Ning Chen like this, Noah leaned back in his chair, looking very relaxed.

To be honest, if Ning Chen had asked nothing, Noah would have felt a bit awkward, but since Ning Chen had questions, it meant there was something about him that attracted Noah.

"Because I do not want to be teammates with fools, nor do I want to face that group of people every day, and you are a very good choice for me; I can see that you are different from others, at least different from this group of people content with the status quo."

Noah, who had been a favored son of heaven since childhood, trusted his own judgment very much.

Ning Chen embodied ability and wisdom, and he did not meddle; most of the time, decisions were left to the group.

Such a team is truly very rare.

"It seems you do not like the higher-ups here." From Noah's words, Ning Chen suddenly caught something.

Noah was silent for a moment, then said: "You are right; I do not like them; in fact, I can say they have no qualification to sit there."

At this time, that group of higher-ups was basically a bunch of incompetents; lacking ability and lacking intelligence; the only reason they became managers was because they had the fortune of previously being managers of F City.

Ning Chen did not expect Noah to admit it so straightforwardly; did he not fear Ning Chen reporting him?

"Are you not afraid I will report you?"

"I trust my judgment of people."

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow; this Noah was indeed a talent, a talent in every aspect.

Ning Chen was somewhat puzzled; by all rights, the world's chosen one should be someone like Noah, so why was it Xu Ri, who understood nothing?

Ning Chen was somewhat puzzled; he planned to find a time to talk with the elders.

After finishing his conversation with Ning Chen, Noah left his room feeling very relaxed.

Seeing Ning Chen lost in thought, Gu Yanqi pinched the back of his hand.

"Brother Ning, is something wrong?"

Ning Chen smiled and shook his head: "No, I am fine; I was just thinking about some issues. By the way, Yanqi, did you stay behind to ask me something?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanqi's face immediately turned red; she could not say that because she had spent too little time with Ning Chen recently, she wanted to stay with him a bit longer.

"I, I just, I just wanted to see if you were okay."

"Hmm? See if I am okay?" Ning Chen moved closer to Gu Yanqi bit by bit, his eyes full of smiles.

Gu Yanqi's face was already red beyond measure; Ning Chen stopped teasing her, pinched her flower-like, jade-like little cheek, and smiled.

"This period has indeed been too busy; the time we spend alone together is really too little; it is my fault; I have neglected you."

Saying this, regardless of Gu Yanqi's shyness, Ning Chen directly embraced her.
