Chapter 480: Lu Zhiheng Thinking of Dealing With Zi Yi
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The big shots were all separated into small groups as they stood together and chatted with each other.
Around them were the student volunteers.
Some of the extroverted students even carefully interjected into the conversation and asked questions whenever they had something they did not understand. Some of the big shots were rather easy to talk to and had even given them a brief explanation. It caused the students’ cheeks to be flushed with excitement.
Not long after Zi Yi started walking around, the silver-haired middle-aged man she saw previously called out to her.
“Miss Zi, please come over.” He sounded very enthusiastic and after calling out to her, he explained to the people around him. “It’s said that Miss Zi is a genius in the M.Uni and not only does she have a pretty appearance, she is also very capable. It’s rare to see a woman like her.”
The people around him also looked in Zi Yi’s direction. Just then, a tall man with brown hair and brown eyes slightly squinted. He then said with uncertainty, “This lady looks familiar.”
“Haha… perhaps Miss Zi…”
Before the silver-haired middle aged man could make a joke, Zi Yi took the initiative and said, “I am the champion of the last International Racing Compet.i.tion.”
“What?!” The silver-haired man had an expression of disbelief.
However, the brown-haired man seemed as if he had recalled something. “It’s no wonder I was thinking that you seemed so familiar. So I didn’t recognize you because of how you’re dressed up today.”
“Louis, you know Miss Zi?” The silver-haired man was extremely surprised.
Louis nodded his head. “That’s right. Miss Zi was the champion of the previous International Racing Compet.i.tion.”
The silver-haired man was not interested in racing at all, but the stakes of that compet.i.tion were raised very high. Following that, he had also heard of the story. What left the deepest impression on him was that the champion was a woman and she had won billions.
The way the silver-haired man looked at Zi Yi changed.
Louis was fond of racing and he could not help but praise her. “Miss Zi appeared rather heroic during the compet.i.tion and I didn’t expect you to be so feminine today. Sure enough, beautiful women look good no matter how they dress.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“The engine produced by Mr. Louis’ company is also well made. The engine I had used in the modified racing car was customized by your company.”
“Is that so?” The largest portion of Louis’ family business was on automobiles. When he heard Zi Yi say that their company’s engine was good, he could not help chatting more with her.
The two of them were engaged in a joyous conversation.
This caused the silver-haired man, who wanted to join in the conversation but to no avail, feel displeased.
Louis did not expect Zi Yi to be so knowledgeable on racing cars and he regretted not having met her earlier. In particular, when Zi Yi gave him a suggestion on how to improve the engine his company produces, he wished that he could drag her to a coffee shop and sit down to have a chat.
“Miss Zi, I wonder if you have time in the afternoon? I’ll treat you to lunch.”
As soon as Louis asked that question, the silver-haired middle-aged man immediately interrupted. “Mr. Louis, there are so many of us here and you can’t possibly abandon us and leave to have a meal with Miss Zi?”
Speaking of this, he said in a manner as if for the interest of Zi Yi, “Miss Zi is a student from M.Uni and I believe she is here today to learn. If you were to ask her to leave now, you would cause her learning time to be reduced.”
Having said that, he even directed a question at the others around them. “Isn’t that right?”
Even though a few of them were unaware of the silver-haired middle-aged man’s intentions, they still gave him face on the surface. “That’s right.”
Zi Yi looked at him and just then, she saw Rick and Lu Zhiheng heading in her direction from the corner of her eyes. She then said to Louis, “Mr. Louis, I have time tomorrow. Since we are going to have a discussion, it would be good to find a suitable time where we are able to converse without a time limit.”
Louis thought about it and agreed with her. A meal’s worth of time would definitely be insufficient for what they were planning to discuss. He ended up smiling and nodded. “Alright, then we’ll agree on meeting tomorrow.”
“Sounds good.”
“Why is Mr. Louis making an appointment with Miss Zi?” Elson who was walking beside Rick had enthusiastically asked when he came closer. “We would also like to join in the conversation. I hope you don’t mind?”
“Of course not.”
After receiving a response from the group, Elson continued and asked, “I wonder what Mr. Louis and Miss Zi were chatting about earlier? You two seem to have hit it off nicely.”
Before Louis could speak, Rick spoke up. “Let me guess. Louis and Miss Zi must have been discussing something related to racing cars.”
“You’re right.” Louis smiled and said, “Miss Zi’s results in the previous compet.i.tion had stunned the whole world and moreover, she is also knowledgeable about automobile parts.”
“Oh~ Is that so?” Rick looked at Zi Yi and praised her. “As expected of Lu Jingye’s girlfriend, to think you still have such skills. I’ve always thought that the racing track is the world of men, but Miss Zi has changed my thought process. However…”
Speaking on this topic, he deliberately paused for a while.
Sure enough, the people around them were surprised and the way they looked at Zi Yi turned strange.
“Miss Zi is Lu Jingye’s girlfriend?” Louis asked.
“That’s right.” Zi Yi looked at the group and asked innocently, “Could it be that because I’m his girlfriend, you don’t dare to talk to me anymore?”
Lu Zhiheng revealed a sneer and deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of her words to incur the group’s displeasure towards her. “My Second Brother is just someone who has been chased out of the family and even if he hadn’t been chased out, none of us has ever feared him. Why would we not dare to talk to you? Miss Zi, it isn’t good for you to appear so arrogant.”
Zi Yi’s lips curled up and she said, “Could it be that the Eldest Young Master Lu’s Chinese was taught by your Physical Education Teacher? It’s no wonder hackers breached the firewalls of the Lu Group as soon as you took over the company. I heard that the data of two major projects were leaked out that day.”
The instant Zi Yi brought this up, Lu Zhiheng’s expression instantly darkened and a sharp gaze flashed across his eyes. “Miss Zi knows about this incident so clearly, could it be that my Second Brother had told you about this? As expected, he is the culprit behind this!”
“Eldest Young Master Lu.” Zi Yi sneered and said, “There’s a need for evidence for things like this. It’s a pity that you are the one who took over the company which Ah Jing had worked hard to expand to what it is today. With how you’re randomly calling out culprits, I think that the Lu Group would collapse sooner or later under your management.”
“What the f*ck did you just say?!” Lu Zhiheng was enraged and raised his palm with the intention of hitting Zi Yi.
No one expected Lu Zhiheng to be so impulsive as to raise his hand in public, and none of them managed to react in time.
Zi Yi looked at the hand that was aiming towards her and silver needles appeared in between her fingers.
At the same time, a slight commotion happened nearby.
Some of the women started screaming. “Oh my gosh, so handsome and cool!”
Zi Yi and the people around her did not notice the person who made his way over. Just when the needle in Zi Yi’s hands was about to shoot out and Lu Zhiheng’s palm was about to strike…
A cracking sound was heard and Lu Zhiheng’s expression was distorted in an instant.
“Owwww-”
