Jiang Ni wasn't making excuses to avoid a date; she genuinely had to work overtime.
She wasn't a chosen laborer who loved her job so much.
She hadn't been chatting with Qin Jijing for long when he received a work call. Jiang Ni obediently responded and politely hung up.
The evening video conference lasted much longer than Jiang Ni had anticipated.
When it finally ended, everything outside the window had quieted down.
In Beijing, which is in the north, the nightlife isn't very vibrant, especially during the chilly autumn and winter seasons.
Walking out of the conference room, Jiang Ni checked her watch only to realize it was already eleven o'clock.
No wonder she had been wanting to yawn earlier, thinking it was because the person opposite was speaking in a hypnotic manner.
