Chapter 99: Enjoy It While You Still Can
As Zi Yi headed for the gates, after leaving Chang Teng’s office, she met Ouyang Ming in the lobby.
Ouyang Ming looked at her with a sneer. With a sting in his words, as if hinting at something, he said, “Everyone doesn’t believe you can withstand the pressure of the competition. If you’re feeling weak-hearted these days, you can call me anytime. Perhaps I can get a psychological counselor to counsel you.”
“No need.” Zi Yi’s tone was that of indifference. “You still have ten days’ control of your bar and you should enjoy it while you can.”
“You…” Ouyang Ming glared at her and chuckled in the next second. “Do continue being stubborn. If you can win against those international racers, not only will I give you my bar, I’ll even give you this racing club… But it’ll depend if you have that capability.”
“Is that so?” Zi Yi smiled. While she dazzled Ouyang Ming’s eyes with her smile, she took out her phone and waved it at him. “I’ve already recorded your earlier words. If you renege on your debt when the time comes…”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and a stern glint shot out. “I will make you pay a larger price than losing these two things.”
Having said that, she walked towards the entrance.
Ouyang Ming only recovered his senses after he heard the footsteps pass behind him. He suppressed the strong palpitations in his heart and his expression darkened as if never before.
“Boss, why are you standing here?”
One of the staff members walking over saw Ouyang Ming’s expression and immediately ran away.
With a black face, Ouyang Ming also headed outside.
…
When Zi Yi drove to the city, she ended up being stuck in traffic.
It was a weekend and there was a sea of people in the central square. The super-large display screen was currently displaying the Global High-Tech Robot exhibition conference.
In fact, these types of exhibitions had a competitive nature. The robot industry was a high-end field. Based on the country’s robot production standard, the development of a country could be discerned.
The camera happened to be directed at one of the judges.
One of the reporters asked, “Mr. Hans, which country do you think has the highest standard of robot production in this exhibition?”
Mr. Hans said with confidence. “Of course it’s D Country. They are the country with the highest advancement in technology and their standards of robot production is at the forefront.
The report continued to ask, “Many are under the impression that the capital has also made huge progress in terms of technology and there are many aspects in which they could rival against D Country. What does Mr. Hans think about it?”
Hans smiled and replied with a question, “I remember there’s a term called ‘crude imitation’ in the capital. Do you think something built using the technology of others is considered progress?”
The moment Hans said that everyone walking around in the square stopped.
Instantly, they were all furious.
On the contrary, Zi Yi did not have much of a reaction. In her opinion, regardless of how advanced the robot technology is on ancient Earth, it is still at the standard of an antique. There’s nothing much to discuss nor to be proud of.
She realized she was stuck in the traffic for too long. In the end, she decided to take a detour.
She revved the car, made a turn down a street at the intersection ahead, quickly made her way out of the commercial street, and arrived at the financial street.
However, before she managed to walk far, she saw Lu Jingye walking out of a skyscraper building with a man and woman by his side under the protection of the bodyguards.
The man was dressed in a wine-red suit as he conversed with Lu Jingye.
The woman was wearing a very dignified and elegant-looking white dress along with delicate makeup. A beautiful crystal hairpin was pinned in her curled hair and she carried a crystal handbag with her. From head to toe, she excluded the aura of a high-society young lady.
The woman walked beside Lu Jingye and revealed a reserved, yet sweet smile.
