Since Xu Qingqing was the greatest contributor to this matter, her personal information had been introduced in detail.
Mr. Smith looked at Xu Qingqing's photo on the wall, his eyes full of admiration.
"This girl is really amazing! I've watched her speech!"
"I wish I could hear her talk about the history of the bird - bodied human face in person. I've heard that she also discovered relevant mural content."
Hearing the proud Mr. Smith singing Xu Qingqing's praises, Lu Chuanbai couldn't help feeling proud of her. His tone was filled with pride. "Mr. Smith, it's not that I want to show off. I just want to tell you the truth."
"Xu Qingqing is actually my wife. If you can stay in my country for a few more days until my wife finishes her work, I'll arrange for you to meet her."
Hearing that he could meet Xu Qingqing, Mr. Smith immediately beamed with smiles. All his initial complaints about Lu Chuanbai were gone, and his tone was full of excitement.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Lu Chuanbai nodded with a smile.
The Lu Group must win this project, but Mr. Smith was not an easy - going person. As long as they could keep him in the country for a few more days, the chance of getting the GH5 chip would be greater.
Meanwhile, Lu Fenglin, who had completely become a foil, was unwilling. He deliberately walked very slowly and lagged behind the crowd.
When no one noticed him, Lu Fenglin took a deep look at Lu Chuanbai's back and then turned around and left.
He admitted defeat this time. He was going to come up with another plan to ruin Lu Chuanbai's impression in Mr. Smith's eyes.
Lu Fenglin turned around and left the museum. Restlessly, he called his female secretary, Zhuang Hailan.
"Zhuang Hailan, weren't you discovered?"
Zhuang Hailan was pretending to work as usual. She was even discussing with her colleagues who had done this. Gao Bo had suspected that it might be an insider, but after searching around, he found that everyone had clocked out last night.
Zhuang Hailan was flattered by Lu Fenglin's concern. She covered the phone receiver and went up to the rooftop of the company.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. No one will discover me."
"How about your side? Did it work?"
Lu Fenglin deliberately sighed and portrayed himself as very pitiful.
"I did pick up Mr. Smith, but before entering the museum, the staff looked down on me and didn't let me take Mr. Smith in..."
At this point, there was a hint of guilt in Lu Fenglin's tone.
"Zhuang Hailan, I'm sorry for your careful planning for me. I'm just too useless."
Hearing Lu Fenglin's pitiful words, Zhuang Hailan felt even more sorry for him. Her tone was full of indignation.
"How could the staff be like this!"
"It's okay. It's not your fault."
Hearing Zhuang Hailan's words, Lu Fenglin hooked his lips into a smile, his eyes cold.
Lu Fenglin had regarded Zhuang Hailan as a fool he could use.
"Do you have any other ideas? I can't just lose to Lu Chuanbai like this."
There was a hint of pleading in Lu Fenglin's tone. "You will definitely help me, right? Zhuang Hailan, now you're the only one by my side. If you don't help me, I'll have no hope of turning things around."
Lu Fenglin's tone was sincere and full of frustration. Coupled with Zhuang Hailan's feelings for him, she didn't think twice before taking the blame on herself. "Mr. Lu, I'll come up with another plan. Please give me some time."
"Okay." Lu Fenglin's tone was very gentle, but his face remained expressionless. He even thought that Zhuang Hailan wouldn't really go all out for him.
"Then I'll give you some more time."
"Okay." Zhuang Hailan wanted to say something else to Lu Fenglin, but then she heard the sound of the phone being hung up.
Zhuang Hailan looked at her reflection on the phone screen disappointedly, but soon she cheered up.
As long as she helped Lu Fenglin well and then expressed her feelings to him after the matter was done, there would be a greater chance for them to be together.
Just thinking about this made Zhuang Hailan happy. She even thought that it would be no problem for her to become Mrs. Lu of the Lu family through Lu Fenglin.
Zhuang Hailan asked other colleagues in the company about the guest room that Lu Chuanbai had arranged for Mr. Smith.
To ensure Mr. Smith's comfort and safety, Lu Chuanbai had booked the top - level room in the best five - star hotel for him.
Zhuang Hailan found a hooligan friend who had dropped out of junior high school. She gave her money and asked her to dress up as a shady woman and sneak into the hotel room, pretending that Lu Chuanbai had sent her.
Then she would call the police to report and catch Mr. Smith red - handed, completely ruining Lu Chuanbai's image in Mr. Smith's eyes.
While chatting with her colleagues, Zhuang Hailan stole an employee ID card from one of them. She sneaked out of the company and gave the ID card to her hooligan friend.
The friend with colorful hair was standing at the company gate waiting for Zhuang Hailan. The hooligan took the employee ID card and the thick red envelope that Zhuang Hailan had stuffed into her hands and couldn't help joking.
"You're still the same as before. In school, you took someone else's place and asked me to beat them up."
"I didn't expect that even now when you're working, you still can't do without me."
Hearing what the hooligan said, Zhuang Hailan showed a hint of impatience on her face and pretended to take back the red envelope. "If you don't want to do it, I can find someone else."
"Don't be like this. Can't I even joke?" The hooligan grabbed the red envelope with a grin and stuffed it into her bag.
Zhuang Hailan looked at the hooligan's ripped clothes with disgust and instructed her, "Change your clothes first and pretend to be an employee of the Lu Group. Make sure you don't let the cat out of the bag."
"I know." The hooligan slung her bag over her shoulder, chewing on her gum and blowing a bubble.
"Don't worry. I'll handle everything for you properly."
After getting the employee ID card, the hooligan changed into a proper set of clothes and came to the hotel. She swaggered up to the receptionist and asked for Mr. Smith's room card.
"Excuse me. Could you give me the room card of that Mr... Mr. Smith? Mr. Lu asked me to go in and check first."
The receptionist sized up the hooligan, who still had her smoky makeup on and was chewing gum. She didn't look like an employee of the Lu Group at all.
The receptionist smiled and refused. "Miss, please trust the safety and hygiene of our hotel. There will definitely be no problems."
The hooligan impatiently stroked her chin and slapped the employee ID card on the table.
"Don't you believe me? This is my employee ID card. If you don't let me in, you'll be responsible for any problems!"
The receptionist was intimidated by the hooligan's act. She carefully examined the employee ID card. The photo on the ID card was a one - inch photo that the hooligan had taken in a photo studio in advance.
