“But this is a project from the government. And this is the first time any family corporation has received such honor. So we cannot just turn away.”
“Since Lu Zhixun is also in this country, I wanted to get her to work for us.”
“I know what the government is trying to do. The government wants the Leng Corporation to spend the resources and keep that talent in this country.”
“If you decline, and with our young master sick, it’s unknown whether or not the Leng Corporation can do this project.”
Jun Yexuan said, “Can’t you talk to him? Why must I do this? You’re going to kill a chicken with a slaughter knife?”
Yu Mo pondered over this metaphor. How was getting Lu Zhixun the same as killing a chicken?
“I was the one who was supposed to do the negotiation, but today afternoon, she called and asked to talk to the young master personally. Or else she’ll definitely say no.”
Jun Yexuan snickered, “She sure is cocky.”
“Normally, people who are capable do act that way. They have the right to. To acquire the people we need, we need to get used to their attitude.”
Jun Yexuan nodded and suddenly asked, “It’s a girl, yes?”
Yu Mo, “…”
How could the name Yu Zhixun be a man’s name?”
Yu Mo took a second to respond, “A woman.”
Jun Yexuan frowned, “Is there another way? Why must we ask her?”
Yu Mo said, “Other great architects are all already at the Leng Corporation. But none of their designs can pass the test. After all, the difficulty level is too high so the requirements are high.”
Jun Yexuan, “How old?”
Yu Mo, “26.”
Jun Yexuan’s face tightened, “You’re asking a married man to meet a girl alone?”
Yu Mo, “…”
“Ah, third young master, this is a work meeting, we are not asking you to seduce her.” Yu Mo was once again speechless.
Jun Yexuan, “What if she starts to fall for me and sets her heart on me?”
Yu Mo, “…”
How can anyone be so into themselves?
“You are using the young master’s face. If she falls for you, it means she is falling for the young master.”
Jun Yexuan agreed with that. It wasn’t a bad idea to get his love rival a lover. However, he remembered something and paused again, “What if she falls for my magnetic personality?”
Yu Mo, “…”
Just then, snow started to fall. Yu Mo looked out the window and said, “It’s snowing.”
Jun Yexuan stared outside and finally showed some interest, “Country L is a beautiful country.”
“Right?” Yu Mo said, “I think so too. Plus, there are many tourist attractions in this country. It’s too bad that the young master is sick and cannot get out to travel.”
Jun Yexuan didn’t say anything anymore.
The car drove back to the castle. After they got out, Yu Mo took out an umbrella and held it over Jun Yexuan’s head.
However, Jun Yexuan didn’t walk towards the living room and instead, went to where the snow piled up. Yu Mo followed and asked, “Third young master, what are you doing?”
Wasn’t he in a rush to go see Ms. Qiao?
Jun Yexuan ignored him and went to a place where the snow was thick. He kneeled down and grabbed a bunch of snow and started to shape them into balls.
“Huh? What are you doing? Making a snowman?”
Every word Yu Mo said resulted in white smoke coming out of his mouth.
The harsh wind continued to blow and lifted up the top layer of the snow. Yu Mo shuddered.
He stared at Jun Yexuan, who only wore a black trench coat, and exclaimed, “This man sure is good at handling the cold.”
