Chapter 240: You Can’t Do This Anymore
She had just awoken and was still a bit groggy. It should be night now, shouldn’t it?
Where could Mingjue have gone?
A sudden feeling of unease swept over her, only then did she realize that his absence made her feel so insecure.
This insecurity gripped her heart so tight, she wanted to cry out in self-pity. She didn’t want to wake up without seeing him.
Gu Qibao hurriedly pulled out her phone and called Mingjue, her heart pounding in her chest.
Not until her call was answered did her heart finally settle down, and she couldn’t help but whimper a little.
"You’re awake?" Mingjue’s cool voice came from the other end of the line.
"Mm." Gu Qibao nodded, "Husband, where did you go?"
There was a hint of a nasal tone in her voice. Mingjue was taken aback and quickly said, "Husband has gone out to discuss some matters. I didn’t want to disturb you since you were sleeping so peacefully."
"You can’t do this in the future." Gu Qibao interrupted Mingjue and wiped her tears pitifully, "You can’t let me wake up without seeing you, and you can’t leave me alone. At least leave me a note."
She was like a lost deer that had been found again, her small voice filled with self-pity, but also a stubborn streak of willfulness.
Mingjue furrowed his brow, glanced at the person he was discussing business with, stood up and walked over to a corner before saying, "Alright, Husband knows, baby, be good. Stay in the hotel and wait for Husband to come back."
"Mm." Gu Qibao wiped her tears and nodded, not forgetting to remind him, "Hurry up."
"I know." Mingjue agreed in a good-natured tone before hanging up the call.
Mr. Robin on the other end of the phone chuckled sarcastically with poor Chinese, "Third Master Di is indeed completely different from before."
Mingjue turned around, his response a coldly mocking, "Mr. Robin, you flatter me."
He had come this time because of Mingzhe.
Previously, Robin had gone to the Empire to discuss a cooperative project. C Country is a tourist city, famous for its islands.
They wanted to vigorously develop tourism projects, innovatively planning to build a sightseeing tunnel under the sea, and a large sightseeing bridge on both sides of the strait.
But, as a tourist country, C Country lacks heavy industries and construction, so they were short on technical personnel and materials. That’s why they asked the Empire for help mainly in the area of personnel and materials.
Even though C Country is small and lacks heavy industries and construction, it is a major producer of diamonds and extremely wealthy.
With this cooperation with the Empire, of course, the Empire would try to squeeze as much as it could. Robin lost six hundred million in a previous mahjong game to Mingjue.
Later, he transferred it to Mingzhe and then Robin was squeezed for a large sum.
The entire project was fifty percent over their budget.
Once Robin returned to his country, he was severely criticized and nearly lost his position.
Fortunately, Robin had a satisfactory explanation stating that the Empire’s technical personnel were top-notch, materials were top-tier, and Mingzhe promised that Mingjue would help build the project.
Hearing that Mingjue personally pledged to assist in the construction eased the higher-ups’ attitude a bit.
Yes, Third Master Di is essentially a prodigy in the field of architecture, his architectural thesis shook the whole academic world.
Internationally, Mingjue is a household name. The fact that he agreed to undertake this project certainly gives the Empire a good reputation!
Why do I say so?
Because Mingjue is so headstrong. Despite being a prodigy in the field of architecture, which had the old professors in the architectural world singing praises for him and it was thought that he would change the construction industry, he didn’t need to rely on architecture to make money.
Who would have thought that architecture is just his hobby? He casually expanded into the electronics and finance industry, developing many software under his name, running large supermarkets and hotel chains.
So, asking for Third Master Di’s architectural plan is actually harder than climbing to the heavens.
Because he is so high-profile and arrogant, he is made out to be even more amazing by the industry.
Which is to say, the fact that C Country could invite Third Master Di to design these two projects, especially the undersea sightseeing passage, is indeed something to boast about when mentioned!
