Chapter 167

Old Master Di was inwardly satisfied.

This kid finally knew how to play along.

However, he still had to voice his disapproval. “The Girl made this for me. What does it have to do with you?”

“What’s yours is mine,” Di Shijing said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“You brat, you really have thick skin…”

Nan Zhiyi couldn’t help but smile as she watched the two of them bickering over the meal.

The onlookers nearby who overheard them were already numb to the shock.

This Nan Zhiyi was truly a miracle worker!

Old Master Di and President Di were actually fighting over a bite of her cooking!

After lunch, Nan Zhiyi prepared to head back to work.

However, Old Master Di didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. He followed Nan Zhiyi and said, “It’s rare for me to come here. Girl, take me for a stroll through the R&D Department. I want to see the environment where you usually work.”

Nan Zhiyi glanced at Di Shijing. Seeing that he didn’t object, she agreed. “Alright, then I’ll show you around.”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Old Master Di was full of enthusiasm.

Di Shijing silently followed behind them.

When they reached the elevator, Old Master Di became dissatisfied again. He turned back and glared at him. “Don’t you have things to do? Why are you following us? Get back to work! It’s enough to have the Girl show me around. I don’t want you!”

With that, Old Master Di pulled Nan Zhiyi and quickly boarded the elevator.

Di Shijing was caught between laughter and tears by his grandfather’s behavior.

However, he didn’t force the issue.

After all, there was still a pile of work waiting for him in his office.

Thus, he took his private elevator back to handle his unfinished business.

Later, Zhou Yi returned, holding the surveillance footage he had just retrieved.

“Master, I’ve pulled the footage of what happened in the cafeteria. Please take a look.”

Upon hearing this, Di Shijing immediately stopped working and took the USB drive.

Soon, the entire sequence of events regarding the conflict between Nan Zhiyi and Nan Wanyue appeared on the screen.

It started with Nan Wanyue approaching Nan Zhiyi first. Then, as Nan Zhiyi tried to leave, Nan Wanyue grabbed her.

From the footage, Nan Zhiyi did indeed pull away…

However, given that force, anyone with eyes and basic judgment could see that Nan Zhiyi hadn’t used any strength!

Yet, in the video, Nan Wanyue used that momentum to fall, making it look as if Nan Zhiyi had pushed her hard, eventually hitting the corner of the table!

Next was the scene where Jiang Xiaoyu rushed forward to interrogate her.

Watching this scene, Di Shijing’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Nan Zhiyi.

On the screen, the woman stood there with a face as cold as frost. It was as if an endless, invisible wall had been erected around her.

She hid inside it alone, enduring all sorts of strange looks.

She was completely isolated and helpless, looking entirely out of place among the people around her.

It wasn’t until Lin Zhizhi stood up for her that the coldness faded slightly, replaced by a look of surprise and astonishment.

But it was only a flash before she quickly regained her indifference…

Then, he and his grandfather entered the frame.

At that moment, Di Shijing noticed a clearly visible trace of resistance on Nan Zhiyi’s face.

Di Shijing frowned instantly. He dragged the progress bar back and watched that segment repeatedly.

The woman’s exquisite, cold face had indeed shown signs of tension the moment she saw him and his grandfather.

What was Nan Zhiyi thinking at that time?

Did she think he would protect Nan Wanyue?

Di Shijing’s heart sank abruptly. His chest felt tight, as if blocked by a mass of air, making him feel stifled and uncomfortable.

With a slight movement of his hand, he dragged the progress bar back to the beginning and played it again.

He kept repeating this action, playing the video over and over again…

On the other side.

Nan Zhiyi led Old Master Di to the R&D Department.

Regarding the Old Chairman’s visit to the R&D Department, all the staff sharpened their focus and came out to greet him respectfully. “Good day, Old Chairman.”

Old Master Di waved his hand and spoke dismissively, “Go on with your work. Don’t mind me. I’m just here for a tour.”

Despite his words, he exuded an aura of natural authority that commanded respect without anger.

The others didn’t dare move at all.
Seeing the situation, Old Master Di didn’t pay any mind to the others and turned to Nan Zhiyi. “Girl, where are you usually busy working?”

“Right here, Grandpa.”

Nan Zhiyi pointed toward the door of Research Lab 2. “Let me take you inside for a look.”

As she spoke, she naturally took his arm and pushed the door open with her other hand, leading the old man inside.

This was essentially the first time Old Master Di had ever visited a research and development site.

Back when he held the reins of the Di Corporation, the company hadn’t yet ventured into perfume R&D.

This particular industry had only flourished after Di Shijing took over the Di Corporation.

There were many pieces of professional equipment before them, and Old Master Di was curious about everything. Every now and then, he would ask a question. “Girl, what’s inside this dropper?”

“What is that glass vessel used for?”

“What does that machine do?”

He had more questions than a curious child.

Nan Zhiyi didn’t show any impatience, answering each of his questions one by one.

Old Master Di nodded in understanding and continued his tour with Nan Zhiyi.

The members of Research Lab 2 were already dazed.

Some of them hadn’t personally witnessed what happened in the cafeteria earlier and had thought the stories were a bit exaggerated.

Given the Old Chairman’s status, how could he possibly come in person just to back up Nan Zhiyi?

But seeing this scene now, they had no choice but to believe it.

Looking at the situation, it wouldn’t even be an overstatement to say Nan Zhiyi was the Old Chairman’s biological granddaughter!

Nan Zhiyi was unaware of their thoughts. After finishing the tour with the old man, she suggested, “Grandpa Di, let me blend some soothing aromatherapy for you. You can keep it in your bedroom; it’ll help you sleep better at night and is good for your health.”

“Well, that sounds wonderful! How do we blend it? Do you need me to give you a hand?”

Old Master Di was eager to try, staring at the tools in front of him as if he couldn’t wait to show off his skills alongside Nan Zhiyi.

Nan Zhiyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I don’t need help, you can just watch. I’ll be very quick!”

“Alright then, I’ll wait,”

Old Master Di said with a hint of regret, pulling up a chair to sit beside Nan Zhiyi.

Soon, Nan Zhiyi put on gloves and began the blending process.

She moved quickly. Having already calculated the exact amounts of essential oils needed, she finished in no time.

She took a testing strip, placed a drop on it, and brought it to her nose to sniff.

In the next second, a light, pleasant fragrance drifted through the air.

Satisfied, Nan Zhiyi handed it to Old Master Di. “Grandpa, smell this. Do you like it?”

Old Master Di leaned in and did as she suggested.

After a moment, he said, “There’s a hint of medicinal herbs and the scent of calming incense, but it’s lighter than that… it seems to have a bit of a woody aroma?”

“You’re impressive, Grandpa Di.”

Nan Zhiyi couldn’t help but praise him.

Although the old man’s description wasn’t exhaustive, the fact that he could identify those notes immediately showed that his nose was still very sharp.

Grandpa Di chuckled. “This scent is nice, I like it. But you’re the impressive one, Girl-to be able to blend such a sophisticated fragrance in such a short time! I’m willing to bet this scent is absolutely unique.”

Nan Zhiyi smiled as she capped the bottle, replying, “It is indeed unique because I’ve been thinking about this formula for a long time. It was specially customized for you. I have two other scents besides this one!”

“Really?”

Old Master Di was delighted.

“Of course. I’ll go blend the other two right now.”

As Nan Zhiyi spoke, she busied herself again.

Half an hour later, three bottles of different scents-but with the same efficacy-were bottled by Nan Zhiyi.

When they were handed to Old Master Di, the old man couldn’t bear to put them down.

“If you run out later, just let me know and I’ll send more over to you.”

Nan Zhiyi was a natural when it came to making the elderly happy.

Old Master Di was absolutely beaming.

Since Nan Zhiyi had work to do, he didn’t disturb her for too long. After staying a while longer, he prepared to leave.

Before going, he said to Nan Zhiyi, “When you get off work tonight, let’s have dinner together, then go to the hospital to see your grandmother.”

“Okay.”

Nan Zhiyi nodded in agreement and saw Old Master Di to the door.
