Chapter 491: Lu Zhiheng Snatching the Partner Zi Yi Wanted to Work With

Zi Yi’s tone of voice revealed slight traces of regret. “It’s honestly such a pity that I won’t be able to have a good chat with Mr. Colin.”

Since the other party did not cherish this opportunity, he could only regret his decision in the future.

In fact, Mr. Colin had admired Zi To very much and he really did want to continue the conversation they had yet to finish yesterday.

However, the one who asked him for a meeting was Lu Jiancheng and it could be said that he represented the capital to have a discussion with him. If he could cooperate with someone with such an influential background, his company would also be able to overcome numerous limitations.

After he hung up the call, he made eye contact with Lu Jiancheng’s wise gaze and said, “What the Lu Group offered is very enticing, but… the new material my company is currently working on is in the research and development stage, we are not yet ready to find a partner.”

How could the Lu Group’s father and son not know he was merely being diplomatic? From how he had not gone out to answer the call, it proved that he was already moved by what they had to offer.

Despite Lu Jiancheng’s status used to back up their offer, Mr. Colin did not immediately agree to it. Instead, he lifted the cup and took a sip.

Lu Zhiheng revealed a smile. “Mr. Colin should have heard that the Lu Group has been developing our aerospace technology in recent years. What we lack aren’t technicians but time… The reason we are looking for Mr. Colin for cooperation is for both of us to win… No matter how large-scale Mr. Colin’s company is, I believe there’s not much of a market in your country?”

Colin was a little displeased with Lu Zhiheng’s tone of voice, but he did not voice it out.

Lu Zhiheng had a confident expression. “As long as Mr. Colin cooperates with the Lu Group, I can guarantee that your company will be able to open in the capital’s market with the best treatment in the next two years.”

“Is that true?” Mr. Colin was finally tempted. He looked towards Lu Jiancheng for confirmation.

Compared to Lu Zhiheng’s exaggerated speeches, what he wanted more was to obtain Lu Jiancheng’s guarantee.

Lu Jiancheng nodded his head and said, “What Zhiheng said is right.”

Colin smiled. He then raised his hand and motioned for the translator the Lu father and son brought along. “Tell them that we can find a suitable time to have a formal discussion.”

…

Zi Yi did not head to school in the morning and as soon as she arrived on campus in the afternoon, she was called over by Nangong Yu, who had known of her whereabouts through the school forum.

Nangong Yu passed her a box. “This is a souvenir given by the organizer to the student volunteers yesterday. You left early yesterday so I brought yours back.”

The souvenir was a clasp made from the logo of the Global Economic Forum. It was very detailed and suitable to be hung on the backpack which Zi Yi usually carried. After she took the souvenir from Nangong Yu, she immediately hung it on her bag.

When Nangong Yu saw how she hung the souvenir on her backpack, he could not help but smile. “Others would usually take it home and treasure it and yet, Junior Zi, you have hung it on your bag.”

Zi Yi asked, “I can’t do that?”

“You can.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

As soon as she finished what she had to say she left, but Nangong Yu called out to her. “Junior Zi, please wait.”

Zi Yi turned around and looked at him.

Nangong Yu said, “The Student Union will be preparing the program for the New Year’s Eve gala. You should also think of a program and participate.”

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment. She will be leaving the capital with Lu Jingye in a few days’ time. If she were to agree to perform for one of the programs, she would have an excuse to let the robot disguised as her be able to leave early.

She nodded her head and said, “Sure, but I won’t announce what I’ll be performing for the time being. I will also be going back home early every day for rehearsal. All of you aren’t to ask, I won’t say anything even if you do ask.”

Nangong Yu smiled and said, “At the very least, you still have to tell me what you intend to perform?”

“I will tell you ten days before the gala.”

Nangong Yu did not insist on asking her. He nodded his head and asked, “Junior Zi, are you intending to compete with me for the position of Student Union President?”

Nangong Yu felt that he was the first person ever in history to ask someone to compete with him for the position.

“I’m not free for the time being.”

Zi Yi left after she said that.

However, Nangong Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry due to her response.

Zi Yi made her way to the Archaeology Department.

She did not expect to be seen by a professor as soon as she made her way in.

The professor called for Zi Yi. “Student Zi, come over for a moment.”

Zi Yi made her way over and asked, “Professor Tang, why did you call for me?”

Professor Tang did not expect Zi Yi to be able to identify him. His smile was much more amicable as he said, “I saw that you seem to have time on your hands these days. Come over and organize some information for me.”

“What information?”

“Information on the Western Zhou Dynasty.”

The two of them headed somewhere as they chatted.

Professor Tang told her about the cultural development in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Zi Yi listened to him seriously and she would occasionally discuss a few topics with him.

“That era was the heyday of bronze wares and the items we’ve managed to unearth at present can be divided into three different categories. Ritual musical instruments, weapons, and miscellaneous utensils. These are all available in the exhibition hall within M.Uni.”

​​Zi Yi asked with great interest, “I heard that the tripod cauldrons produced during that era were also well made.”

“That’s right. The tripod cauldrons were mainly used for rituals during that era and they are all large in size.”

Zi Yi had read up about the story of tripod cauldrons in ancient Earth literature books and she had wondered if it was true or not. “I’ve read before in a book and it mentioned that besides rituals, the tripod cauldrons were also used for refinement. In addition, many of them were used to refine the blood and bones of humans. Professor Tang, is that real?”

Professor Tang nodded his head. “Yes. Therefore, even grave robbers would not dare to take out these cauldrons from tombs even if they manage to find one.”

“Why’s that so?”

“Even though we have to believe in science, within these cauldrons were things filled with witchcraft and the killing aura that remains is very strong. If taken out, it would harm others and themselves.”

In fact, Zi Yi knew what was going on. It was not exactly due to killing aura, but these tripod cauldrons had formed a type of element that could not be detected in this world. After this element comes into contact with the human body, there would be some chemical reaction, resulting in a change of one’s magnetic field. As a result, there came about the saying of harming others and themselves.

“Professor Tang, would we have the chance to visit and go down the tombs?”

Zi Yi was very interested in this aspect. She had always wanted to see what an ancient tomb on Earth looked like.

“Yes, you will.”

After she obtained a positive answer, Zi Yi was relieved. “Professor Tang, when will you be going down to the tomb? Please take me with you.”

Professor Tang smiled and shook his head. “Going down a tomb isn’t fun at all. Ancient tombs are either in desolate mountains or in harsh environments. How can a girl like yourself stand such rough living conditions?”

“I can do it.” Zi Yi guaranteed. “My adaptive abilities are very strong.”

In reality, Professor Tang did not believe that she was able to adapt to that kind of environment, However, at the sight of how active she was, he did not dampen her enthusiasm and said, “Alright then, I’ll call you along to join me when there is a suitable tomb.”

“Thank you, Professor Tang.”

​​Zi Yi tagged along with Professor Tang and organized the materials for two hours before she left. By the time she returned to class, Li Xia was surprised to see her. “Zi Yi, I thought that you would not be coming to the Archaeology Department building today.”

Zi Yi was attending lessons all around the campus and even though they were in the same class, Li Xia did not know her whereabouts.

Zi Yi took the books which Li Xia helped her keep and said, “Thank you.”

Li Xia smiled in response. “Zi Yi, a female student came looking for you in the morning.”

She even whispered in her ear. “It’s that younger sister of yours.”

It was no longer a secret that Zi Xuan was Zi Yi’s younger sister and everyone knew that they did not have a harmonious relationship.

Zi Yi did not bother about Zi Xuan’s news these days and so, she asked, “Did she say why she was looking for me?”
