Five days later
Xia Lei buried himself ork in the workshop A box of precision parts which had been processed sat next to the manual lathe In just a bit, Xia Lei would be done with his job because the part he held in his hand was the last one One million yuan would be his once he was finished with this part
‘Thunder Horse Workshop will have an upgrade in funds when I get this one million yuan I can buy equipment and hire more skilled workers I have no need to do the low-difficulty jobs With my skills, I can be the ace of Thunder Horse Workshop and only accept higher-difficulty jobs or jobs others cannot complete This e can s too’ As he worked, Xia Lei planned for the future and what he would do
This one iven hih and simple jobs If he had to use his ability, it would be for tie!
Indeed, if Xia Lei were to squat by the roadside holding a welding torch to mend a hat sort of Great Master would he be? If a client ca business worth tens ofoutside, would he still want to hire hi Xia Lei’s train of thought He put down the part in his hands to take a look and caught sight of Ning Yuan-Shan and Chi Jing-Qiu bringing a group of people through theYuan-Shan was talking to a young lady and Chi Jing-Qiu was close by, looking nervous The lady had four suited youngher and all four of the their surroundings as they uards
Xia Lei’s gaze landed on the young lady and it felt like his soul had been hooked in that instant
The young lady surrounded by a crowd had a pair of bright raven eyes which see the iht Her lips were small and tender and carried the natural red of the ure was also the best, the most perfect Perfect proportions, plu about her was is They were slender without losing their healthy plumpness, white and almost translucent like jade, as if nature decided to use the best of its resources to carefully craft her without any flaws She also had a special bearing - irreproachable as a jade lotus flower bloo in an ancient palace, the strict sole out the brilliance of the existence that is her
Chi Jing-Qiu was easy on the eyes too but next to this lady, she was instantly turned into a tacky, dull existence
There was no ‘most beautiful’ woman in this world but Xia Lei felt that this woman whose name he did not knoas the most perfect woman he’d seen in his life He was captivated and his heart started to pound
“This way please, Miss Shentu” Ning Yuan-Shan was very polite and spoke as he guided her
‘Who is this woman? Is she here to seewith curiosity
Ning Yuan-Shan passed Xia Lei with the lady and they continued walking deeper into the workshop The lady enclosed in a crowd did not even spare Xia Lei a glance
Xia Lei thought she was here to see hi him His existence was like that of a street vendor to her
Xia Lei watched the lady move further away and a bitter smile crooked the corners of his et a wo back and waited for Ning Yuan-Shan and the lady to walk a bit of a distance away before she went to Xia Lei, “Stop staring You can stare your whole life and it won’t make a difference”
Only then did Xia Lei look away froly, “If you looked as beautiful as her I’d stare at you too”
Chi Jing-Qiu was not angry at all, “That won’t piss ainst her Don’t you knoho she is?”
“Who is she?”
“The head of Shentu clan, Shentu Tian-Yin”
“Shentu clan?” Xia Lei shook his head, “Never heard of it”
“You’ve got to increase your knowledge” A faintly conte-Qiu’s ive you a quick rundown and also soest clan in the East region The Shentu clan controls the Vientiane Group worth tens of billions in assets, which is involved in real estate, energy, hoy What is the use of aat a woman like that? You have no chance Face reality and don’t be carried away by wishful thinking”
Xia Lei laughed, “Don’t use those words to agitate me No matter how lousy of a man I a-Qiu was temporarily at a loss for words
“Okay, let’s not butt heads We’re still ex-classht, so what’s Shentu Tian Yin here for?”
Chi Jing-Qiu was still pissed but her tone softened a little, “She’s representing Vientaine Group to survey our company Vientaine Group wants to build a wind power plant and needs a large nueneration equip She’s the e is escorting her like royalty?”
“I see Chair must really want Vientaine Group as a client,” said Xia Lei
Chi Jing-Qiu sighed, “Ah, we are both women but we have such different lives and fates Lei, tellin fairness?”
“Don’t think too much about it Be content with your own lot”
Chi Jing-Qiu shook her head, “I would be willing to have a lifespan of only twenty years if I can live like how Shentu Tian Yin lives Living in this li to face that spineless coward every day is driving et scolded” Xia Lei did not want to broach that topic
