But her indifference was, for Mubai, an advantage .
If Xinghe wasn't averse to his arrangement, at least it looked like she wasn't averse to his companionship .
Mubai's heart soared just thinking about it .
However, he cautioned himself to not overdo it .
He knew that he couldn't push himself onto Xinghe because Xinghe was no ordinary woman . If he angered her in anyway, the opportunity to get to know her, to get close to her, would be forever closed .
Inside the car, Mubai made sure to limit their topic of conversation to the artificial limb technology .
He didn't venture into anything else .
He did well on his part because at least Xinghe didn't jump out of his car .
AdvertisementSoon, they reached the laboratory building .
Mubai instructed her, "I have a meeting to attend so I won't be following you in . However, I've arranged for an engineer to wait for you . He's the vice-leader of the lab and his name is Luo Jun . If you have any needs, don't hesitate to tell him . "
Xinghe nodded, her hands were on the car handle .
"Wait…" Mubai called after her, "If there's anything Luo Jun can't handle, come to me . "
"Okay . " Xinghe left his car without a goodbye . Luo Jun was already at the building entrance waiting for them .
He rushed outside to pay Mubai his respect and, after Mubai drove away, he kindly introduced himself to Xinghe .
"Miss Xia, nice to meet you, I'm Luo Jun . I will do my best to aid you in your project so if you have anything you need done, please order me to do it . "
Luo Jun had a kind and approachable personality . Obviously, Mubai had specifically assigned him to her .
Xinghe nodded . "Lead the way . "
"Please," Luo Jun said with a bow .
To fulfill Old Madame Xi's wish, the Xi family had burnt through a lot of money .
The lab building alone had five levels and each level housed at least ten individual laboratories .
Bustling inside them were scientists and engineers in white lab coats .
Many of them were the top of their fields .
The place was filled to the brim with medical devices…
All of the equipment scattered about the labs were the most cutting-edge products available in the world .
There was pride in Luo Jun's voice when he introduced this place to Xinghe, "The best mechanical artificial limb currently on the market is created here . If we can perfect the artificial human limb technology, Xi Empire's name will resound all over the world, grabbing all kinds of awards and accolades . Miss Xia, do you want to tour each of the five floors?"
"Not necessary," Xinghe rejected politely but firmly, then she ordered, "Bring me your lab's latest product and design . I need all the information you can gather . Now, show me to my lab and I will wait for you there . "
Luo Jun was taken aback by the simple and direct way Xinghe handled things .
He was impressed by her authority and commanding presence .
Then again, of course the person whom CEO Xi personally instructed him to support couldn't be someone pedestrian .
Luo Jun performed his role as the host to the tee and quickly brought her to her lab, to prepare the things she ordered .
However, the most important design paper he couldn't acquire!
Luo Jun explained with difficulty, "All the design papers are under Leader Yun's care . She said the papers are all top-secret information so she can't give them away to anyone . "
"Yun Ruobing?" Xinghe asked .
"Yes, it is Leader Yun Ruobing . This should be easy if Miss Xia knows her . I'm sure Leader Yun will hand over the design paper willingly when she finds out it is Miss Xia who made the request," Luo Jun concluded optimistically .
Xinghe replied, "I'm afraid it is because she knows it is me that she'll refuse to part with the papers . "
