The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! - Chapter 175
175 A Talent
However, what Zhang Luo did not know was that Shan Yue did not need his help at all, because she was the number one hacker on the hacker rankings, “Zero”. In a short period of time, no one could compare.
“Thank you, Young Master Zhang. I’ll definitely come and consult you when I need it.” With that, Shan Yue lowered her head. She obediently finished the rest of the hot dog and took another glass of milk.
“Yueyue, what do you think of Zhang Luo?” Zhang Huang took advantage of the situation to inquire about Shan Yue’s impression of her grandson.
As soon as he said this, Shan Yue finally understood Elder Zhang’s intentions. He was taking advantage of her visit to improve her relationship with Zhang Luo. Shan Yue picked up the cup beside her and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “I think Young Master Zhang is a very good person.”
Actually, Shan Yue was indeed telling the truth. Zhang Luo was handsome, like a gentleman who had walked out of an ancient painting. His bright eyes flickered with wisdom. He was indeed talented. Not only that, but he was also a top student at the Capital University. There were countless talented women in the school who were fascinated by him.
!!
Even so, Shan Yue was not interested. In order not to make Elder Zhang sad, she only praised Zhang Luo politely.
Just as Old Master Zhang smiled, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Huang was surprised. “What’s going on today? The house is so lively. So many people came all of a sudden.”
After the butler opened the door, to everyone’s surprise, Zhou Xuan walked in in a black suit. He spun the jade thumb ring on his hand with one hand, and his aura intimidated the people around him.
Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan looked at each other. Neither of them expected to meet the other again in the Zhang family. This time, both sides still did not take the initiative to greet each other. They looked at each other tacitly and looked away as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Xuan looked at the three people at the table and revealed a meaningful gaze. He roughly understood the whole story. “Elder Zhang, I came to look for you for something. I didn’t disturb you, right?”
“Of course not. The more lively it is, the happier I am. Since you’re here, let’s sit down and eat.”
Hence, Zhou Xuan said a few polite words and walked straight to the seat beside Shan Yue. He pulled out a stool and sat down.
Zhou Xuan’s arrival happened to help Shan Yue escape, causing the topic to stop.
The four of them chatted at the table. Shan Yue lowered her head in silence and finally finished her breakfast in the slightly silent awkward atmosphere.
Zhou Xuan found a chance to be alone with Zhang Huang and told him the purpose of today’s trip.
“Elder Zhang.” He handed over the information in his hand. “I have a friend called Mu Wei, a partner of many years. In the next two days, a Las Vegas delegation will come to the Federation. They have a project in their hands. This project looks simple on the surface, but the benefits behind it are huge. We’re considering whether to take it.”
Zhang Huang took the detailed content book of this project and read it carefully. He also felt that it was not bad. “But other than us, there are many competitive families.”
“Indeed.” Zhou Xuan nodded. When he faced Elder Zhang, his expression softened a lot. “But now that something has happened to the Dong family, Dong Peng probably doesn’t have the mood to compete for this project anymore. The only one who has the strength to compete with our Zhou family is the Tang Corporation.”
Zhang Huang stroked his gray beard and said, “If I remember correctly, Tang Li is Tang Xia’s only daughter and the person in charge of the Tang Corporation.”
“That’s right.” Zhou Xuan crossed his legs and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. “She’s a ruthless person. She’s always upheld the principle of killing by mistake instead of letting one go. As long as she finds anything amiss with her subordinates, she’ll definitely not leave anyone alive. However, high risk also represents high returns. We have to pay a huge price to fight for this project. After thinking about it, I came to look for you and want to hear your opinion.”
There were traces of time on Zhang Huang’s face, especially obvious under the bright light. He thought for a moment. “Actually, you already have the answer in your heart before you ask me. What you need is only someone who affirms your choice. Am I right?”
Zhou Xuan nodded in confirmation.
