nXia Xin took over the card and when she saw the text on there, her eyes widened and she ran back.

n“Zhixun! Zhixun! Guess who’s here for you?! The highest-ranked official from country L!!”

nLu Zhixun was a little stunned but she didn’t feel too honored. Instead, she felt like she gained a new realization – her status was a lot higher than she originally imagined.

nMore and more she felt that people were far too stupid to compare her to Xu Pingting.

nThey should really witness and learn what it means to be truly exceptional.

nAs she thought about it, she suppressed the excitement she felt and put on a casual face. With much arrogance, she walked to the door and stared at Fang Chengshi, “Hello, I am Lu Zhixun, what can I do for you?”

nFang Chengshi was highly pleased with the calm way Lu Zhixun acted.

n“Ms. Lu, Mr. Leng should’ve already talked to you about the government construction project and have asked for your aid. I wonder if you have thought it through? If you are willing to stay in country L, I will reward you with a salary you are satisfied with.”

nGiven his title and status, he didn’t want to come and talk to her personally. However, the person he sent said Leng Yan and Lu Zhixun’s meeting did not go well.

nTo keep this talented person in this country, he had no choice but to come and talk himself.

nLu Zhixun grinned at those words, “Fang…”

nFang Chengshi interrupted her before she could say his title or his full name, “I came today in secrecy. Ms. Lu, you can just refer to me as Mr. Fang.”

n“Alright, Mr. Fang,” Lu Zhixun smiled, “I went to Yin Mountain yesterday to inspect the land. I already have some thoughts about the project. It wouldn’t be an issue for me to complete the project and meet those requirements. As for whether or not I remain in country L, that is up for discussion.”

nFang Chengshi was ecstatic. He thought his trip today was worth it.

nLu Zhixun however, changed the subject and continued, “CEO Leng didn’t seem to be very receptive to the idea. I asked him for an assistant – one who will help me on this project only. However, he denied me that. So, I am sorry but his attitude had made me not want to stay in Country L for this project and for my career.”

nFang Chengshi’s face dropped. He thought that didn’t sound like something the Leng family would do.

nHe couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you request as your assistant? You had someone in mind?”

nHe wasn’t stupid. If she simply wanted any assistant, the Leng family wouldn’t have said no.

nSince Leng Yan accepted this project, there was no way he would cheap out on such a small matter.

nThe only possibility was that Lu Zhixun gave him a hard time with the assistant issue.

nLu Zhixun thought telling him now didn’t matter so she said, “I do have someone in mind. It’s Qiao Qing.”

nFang Chengshi froze. That name sounded familiar.

nHe wasn’t active on social media and never went on Weibo. Though he’s heard of Qiao Qing, he didn’t know her well.

nHis assistant, Shi Peng, however, was surprised, “The God of Racing from the Capital Country?”

nLu Zhixun nodded, “That’s the one.”

nFang Chengshi frowned.

nHe didn’t attend the race this year but there were racers from country L who went. So naturally, he knew that the God of Racing showed up this year.

nBut…

nFang Chengshi asked Lu Zhixun, “Ms. Lu, why must you ask for her to be your assistant? She’s good at racing but she may not be skilled with architectural design. How can she help you? Plus, isn’t she in the Capital Country?”

n“She’s here in country L and is currently living with Leng Yan.” Lu Zhixun said, “As for why I asked her to be my assistant… I don’t want to share that right now. I hope Mr. Fang can understand.”
