Chapter 210: Project Galaxy (2/2)

Xinghe stared at him coldly. ”I will not work with random strangers.”

”But the project that you're doing requires men and women with a good head on their shoulders. I hate to brag but I doubt you'll be able to find a third person that is better than me at the lab.”

The second person being Xinghe herself.

”Regardless, that doesn't change my workplace philosophy. You are not needed,” Xinghe rejected his offer flatly.

Ee Chen pouted like a disappointed child. ”You have such low confidence in me?”

”Told you I don't work with strangers.”

This Ee Chen's background was too mysterious.

First, he appeared as Chui Ming's underling and then now he was working at Xi Family's lab.

Xinghe couldn't help but be cautious of his motives.

Therefore, she had stayed away from him the whole time she was at the lab. She knew he is good with computers but she didn't trust the guy.

Ee Chen muttered helplessly, ”But I'm not really a stranger… I just happen to love challenges, an adrenaline junkie in a way. Furthermore, it was Xi Mubai's idea that I end up working at the lab. He offered me a job after he witnessed my talent, I accepted. That's all.”

So, he got Mubai's approval.

Xinghe's guard against Ee Chen slightly lowered. ”Then, tell me, to what do I owe the pleasure of you purposely hacking into my server to set up this private meeting.”

There had to be something more than him seeking a challenge.

He could have told her that at the lab and she would've just taken it as a compliment.

Ee Chen cupped the side of his face in his palm and said with a smile, ”I really didn't expect you would be so cautious and sensitive. The reason I sought you out this way is because I want to ask you a question. I come bearing no ill intent.”

”What question?” Xinghe asked, not knowing what he said next would shake her to her core.

Reigning in his excitement, Ee Chen looked at her seriously and asked with the obvious intention of feeling her out, ”Have you heard of Project Galaxy 1?”
