“Sit!”

Zhao Weili waved his arm and gestured for her sit.

“Thank you!”

Ji Ying sat down on the sofa in an unnatural manner.

“Did you complete this plan on your own?”

Zhao Weili asked a simple question, his voice calm and magnetic.

“Mhm!” Ji Ying did not explain and only grunted.

“You’re not satisfied with the Yan State’s current layout?”

“Eh? Why do you ask?” Ji Ying shook her head. “That’s not it!”

Zhao Weili stood up and swept his gaze across the bookshelves, as if he was looking for something.

When Ji Ying saw that, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was as if from the moment she entered the room, the other party held the initiative. She had also witnessed this guy’s composure.

Soon, Zhao Weili pulled out a folder from the bookshelf and placed it on the coffee table in front of Ji Ying. He said calmly, “This is the latest planning proposal for the Yan State. It’s pretty much the as your proposal!”

Ji Ying glanced at Zhao Weili, picked up the folder on the coffee table, and opened it. There were instructions, an introduction, and a blueprint inside. It was much more detailed and professional than the proposal she had made herself.

She did not know what Zhao Weili meant. Was this only for comparison, or was there something else?

No matter what, she still looked at it carefully.

After a long while, Ji Ying closed the folder. Her expression showed that she was not happy with the proposal.

However, she did not understand what Zhao Weili meant, so she asked, “Mayor, why did you show me this?”

The mayor!

Zhao Weili did not like the how distant that sounded, but he only frowned and stayed silent. He looked at the document and said seriously, “Tell me the flaws of this proposal!”

“You want me to say it?”

“That’s right! Just say it!”

Ji Ying hesitated for a moment. She did not want to offend the seniors of the Architecture and Design Institute, so she could only say, “Our professor said that any plan that doesn’t take into account the cost and environmental damage is a failure!”

Zhao Weili was not satisfied with Ji Ying’s opportunistic answer. He chuckled and said, “Don’t try to be smart, you have to believe in yourself. I approve of the proposal you’ve submitted, so I’d like to formally implement it. ”

“This…”

Ji Ying was shocked.

“Aright, you can go back and brush up your plan, then show it to me after!”

Ji Ying was very tempted, but she did not want to have anything to do with Zhao Weili anymore, so she met his gaze and refused, “I don’t plan to make any changes. I don’t even plan to work in related industries after graduation. Thank you for your high regard, mayor. Goodbye!”

Before she was done speaking, she had already stood up and walked quickly toward the door.

She had thought that Zhao Weili would stop her, but she had already walked to the door, and she did not hear any words of persuasion from him. He even took the initiative to open the door for her.

This was too surprising.

Sitting on the bus, Ji Ying fell into deep thought.

Shu Lanqing noticed that something was off with Ji Ying. She was in a daze and asked in confusion, “Xiao Ying, what are you thinking about? Could it be that you were captivated by the new mayor? Or are you scared?”

“What?” Ji Ying beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and she came back to her senses. She shook her head and said, “There’s no such thing!”

“Then what’s wrong with you? You look like you’re in a trance!”

“No, I wasn’t! I just happened to meet an acquaintance and talked about some things from the past!” Ji Ying gave a perfunctory reply. “Actually, it’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Our relationship in the past was nothing out of the ordinary! He asked me to revise my proposal, but I rejected him!”

“Why?” Shu Lanqing asked in surprise.

Then, she said helplessly, “What should we do? Secretary Yang also asked me to make some changes to my proposal, but I’ve already agreed. Now that you’ve rejected the mayor, what should I do? How could you reject such a good opportunity? It’s just a few changes, so it won’t take much effort!”

In contrast to Shu Lanqing’s excitement, Ji Ying had no reaction.

Suddenly, she found a flaw in Shu Lanqing’s words.

Why was it that her own proposal had to be looked at by Zhao Weili, while Shu Lanqing’s could be directly handed over to Secretary Yang? There was definitely something fishy going on.

By the way, what did Shu Lanqing say just now? Did she agree to change her proposal?
