Of course, Qin Zhigu wasn’t like Romeo gazing up at Juliet on her balcony from the garden, he was making a phone call.
Making a phone call outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping is a bit odd. However, Lu Weixi didn’t think much of it and decided to draw the curtain later.
It wasn’t Qin Zhigu’s intention to be outside his building. He was previously at his parents’ place on the first floor, where Qin Weijian was still hoping that he could join the company, a proposition he declined. Just as he was speaking, a call came in from an unfamiliar number. He frowned, thought about it, and eventually answered, “Hello.”
He had recently returned to the country and this number was new as well. He presumed that anyone who would call him at this time should be a familiar person. Unexpectedly, it was a familiar person, Cai Yiren, whom he was not particularly keen on meeting.
How Cai Yiren got his number was probably thanks to Qin Zhimei. After all, he had seen Qin Zhimei chatting with her on the ship.
It wouldn’t have been appropriate to take her call in front of his parents, and he didn’t want to keep refusing his parents’ company proposal, so he seized the opportunity to step out into the garden to take her call.
When Cai Yiren spoke, she didn’t reminisce about old times. She knew that Qin Zhigu was gentle and upright, and he wasn’t the young boy who got flustered at the sight of a crying girl anymore. He was sentimental, but also stubborn; if he didn’t love, then he didn’t love.
So, she said directly, “Zhisu, I’m coming to you because I have no other alternatives. Boss Liao rejects my drafts, fearing to offend your elder brother. I’m not asking you to put in a good word for me, just to help me hand over the application materials. If Boss Liao likes it, he can keep it; otherwise, he can discard it. I’m okay with losing based on merit.”
Bai Changyou instructed her to return first to gain some footing. Her first assignment was to deal with Boss Liao’s case. Whether she succeeded or not was irrelevant; what was important was that she couldn’t be labeled as someone repelled by Qin Zhiyou, as that would harm the Bai Family’s interests. If Qin Zhigu simply delivered it, whether it was accepted or not, it would at least show that Hanhai wasn’t entirely controlled by Qin Zhiyou, and there might be some room for negotiation.
Since it was Qin Zhigu who personally delivered it, despite telling Boss Liao that there was fair competition, Boss Liao would likely be biased towards Cai Yiren because he was an architect.
Qin Zhigu might have known about her plan, but Cai Yiren’s plea was so sincere that he still shook his head and said, “I won’t help you deliver it.”
Cai Yiren was somewhat anxious and wanted to respond, but Qin Zhigu opened his mouth again, “Submit it yourself. At most, I will tell Boss Liao not to refuse anyone.”
As long as she could submit successfully, Cai Yiren wasn’t afraid that her entry wouldn’t be selected. For this project, she took South Australia Company’s best team. Although she was the team leader, the main designer was another highly competent designer, not her.
Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, “Thank you.” She wanted to add something more intimate, but Qin Zhigu directly said, “It’s late. I’m hanging up.”
He hung up the call, turned around, and raised his head. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly walked under his elder brother’s room, where the curtain was still open, and the light was gleaming.
Lu Weixi should be inside the room.
And where was his elder brother?
As he was pondering, he indistinctly saw two figures by the edge of the window. The man gradually approached, cornering the woman. The man was, of course, Qin Zhiyou, and the woman was Lu Weixi.
Shortly after, Lu Weixi forcefully pushed Qin Zhiyou away, and with a quick reach of his arm, Qin Zhiyou hurriedly closed the curtain.
Soon after, the light in the room was turned off..
