Chapter 726: The Architect for the Deep Sea Honeycomb International Emba.s.sy
Yu Mo said, “Yes, sir.”
…
Lu Zhixun and Xia Xin walked out of the building and Xia Xin asked, “Zhixun, why did you ask Qiao Qing to be your a.s.sistant? Does she have design experience? Can she help you?”
Lu Zhixun’s lips curled up, “So what if she doesn’t? It’s enough if she gets to be my a.s.sistant.”
Xia Xin was still confused, “Why?”
Lu Zhixun said, “Have you seen the news about the Fragrance Compet.i.tion?”
Xia Xin nodded, “I did! Ms. Qiao is great. She’s Queen! It was so satisfying to see Xu Pingting being slapped in the face!”
Xia Xin knew that Lu Zhixun hated Xu Pingting so she talked down on Xu Pingting in order to please Lu Zhixun.
Lu Zhixun flashed a smile, “People keep on comparing me to that stupid woman and even called us ‘twins’. Everything I do, I get compared to her. It makes me uncomfortable. Qiao Qing slapped her in the face so now we know she’s no better than Qiao Qing.”
But if Qiao Qing becomes my a.s.sistant in country L and works for me, then n.o.body will compare me to her anymore.”
Xia Xin’s eyes brightened, “You’re right! Qiao Qing defeated her which means she’s not better than Qiao Qing. If Qiao Qing becomes your a.s.sistant, it means you’re better than Qiao Qing. Who would dare to compare you two then?”
Lu Zhixun laughed, “When that happens, the Lu family from country Z will become better than the Xu family.”
Xia Xin nodded and remembered something else, “Are you going to join the Leng Corporation? That means you won’t be developing your career back home?”
“Are you kidding?” Lu Zhixun said, “The Lu family is the richest family in country Z and I am the daughter of that family. Why would I ever work for others? At most, I help the Leng Corporation with this one project before going home.”
“Of course, helping them with the design is purely to get Qiao Qing to be my a.s.sistant. It’s to make sure my time abroad is worthwhile.”
“Zhixun, you’re thinking so long term,” Xia Xin said and then quickly added, “But what if CEO Leng doesn’t agree?”
“Did I give him any room to consider?” Lu Zhixun said, “He will agree. After all, it’s a government project. So matter how capable Leng Yan is, he will not go against the leaders from country L.”
Xia Xin said, “Zhixun, you’re so great!”
Lu Zhixun’s lips stretched as Xia Xin flattered her, “Let’s go back to the hotel. We need a way to get the project requirements and details. The earlier we finish designing this, the earlier this is all over.”
“When Leng Yan finds me again, that’s when I’ll say I started designing. That way, by the time it’s done, I would be known to be a fast worker.”
“This is also another reason why this project may help improve my reputation. After all, the less time it takes for an architect to design a project, the more shocking.”
Xia Xin nodded when she heard this, “Zhixun, you’re so smart!”
By the time Jun Yexuan got home, his face was still dark.
Mu Jinghang, who laid in the living room like a sardine, asked Jun Yexuan, “What’s wrong?”
Qi Yusen also raised his head inquisitively.
Jun Yexuan sat down on the couch and retold them what happened with Lu Zhixun.
Mu Jinghang instantly cursed, “No way? In country L, we have women who’re trying to give Qiao Qing a hard time too? Qingqing truly attracts poor-mannered people. Even when she’s just staying home and not going outside, trouble comes to her door!”
Qi Yusen’s face was cold.
