When she looked back, she suddenly heard someone            two minutes,

President Zuo will be here.’

Anhao immediately looked at the two people in front of the door and saw that they seemed to be preparing to go out and entertain someone. At the same time, the judges in front of them began to whisper.

“President Zuo rarely comes to the interview site in person. It seems that he really values the reconstruction of the gymnasium and cultural center this time. He actually came to be a judge in person.”

“Yeah, it’s not easy to invite President Zuo to be a judge. This batch of young people who came for the interview are really lucky. If any of them is luckier, they might be put in an important position.”

Anhao stood rooted to the ground. She didn’t know whether she should continue to wait or leave the interview immediately.

President zuo? Zuo Hancheng?

Why was he here?

Although she hadn’t paid attention to any news about him in the past few years, he was a public figure after all. He was also a role model that business schools often used as an example, so she often heard about him.

It was said that he had been keeping a low profile in recent years and rarely appeared in public. She knew that this architectural design recruitment was very important, but it did not seem to be so important that Zuo Hancheng had to come personally to observe and judge.

“We’re here!”

At this moment, someone said from outside the door. At the same time, she turned her head abruptly.

Zuo Hancheng was led by a few men in suits and entered the crowd through the side door. He was not dressed formally. It was obvious that he had left his suit jacket in the car because of the hot weather. He was only wearing a black shirt, trousers, and a dark tie. Even though he did not have any eye-catching colors, he was still the center of attention the moment he entered the door.

Anhao stood where she was, her expression unchanged, but she tried her best to shift her gaze away, not paying attention to the man who was destined to be an extraordinary existence no matter where he was.

It had been three years and two months, and she did not expect to see him here again. It seemed that the reconstruction of the gymnasium this time was a major notice from the province. Otherwise, why would Zuo Hancheng place so much importance on it?

“President Zuo! ”

The elders of the business and political circles on the judging panel stood up to welcome them. There were also a few more senior people sitting in their original seats, but they smiled politely and nodded in Zuo Hanchengs direction.

Needless to say, the surrounding security guards and those who were not that old were respectful and fawning over him. For so many years, no matter where Zuo Hancheng appeared, he would inevitably show such a scene. Now that he had been established in the country for eight years, no one dared to offend him.

Even the former mayor of A City, Gu Tianming, had been forced to step down because he had offended Zuo Hancheng. Even the old General Qi from the military district had committed a crime. Even if the news had not spread completely, everyone knew in private that Zuo Hancheng was not to be underestimated. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate him, and no one dared to offend the head of Shengling Group.

“President Zuo, it’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s rare to meet you at XX venue a few times, but I didn’t have the chance to talk to you. I didn’t expect President Zuo to come here today to personally interview these young people.”

The greetings and currying favor continued, but Anhao, who had been waiting for the interview for nearly ten minutes, seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.

However, it was too late for her to leave now. She had no reason to do so. She could only stand still and not look in that direction. She only held the design proposal in her hand and waited quietly.

Since she was already here, she should take things as they came. The pain in her feet also reminded her to calm down when she encountered things. She could not be as rash as she was a few years ago.

Although Zuo Hancheng was greeted and fawned on by the crowd, he only smiled faintly. His smile did not reach his eyes. His cold attitude made those people not dare to waste any more time. It was not until he was invited to sit on the judges ‘seat that the interview process was finally ready to continue.

Zuo Hancheng sat down at another judge’s table. Gu Anhao’s resume was on the table, and the small screen in front of him was displaying Gu Anhao’s design drawings and design options.

When she noticed that Zuo Hancheng was not looking at anyone here at all, it was as if he was only here to be a judge and had no intention of doing anything else. When his gaze fell on her design drawing on the screen, Anhao felt that everything she had learned in the past three years of studying in America was like handing in her homework at this moment…

It was supposed to be an interview, but now it seemed like he was handing in his homework.

It had been three years, but she still couldn’t shake off the shadow he had left on her back then? Even now, she had already graduated and returned, but she still felt that that person was like her parent or guardian.

“Mister Zuo.” Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at the design on the screen and seemed to be interested, the judges nodded at each other and one of them said politely,”” Since Shengling Corporation is going to invest in the renovation of the gymnasium and cultural center, Mr. Zuo will be the one to decide on the design plan. Why don’t we leave the rest of the interview to you,

Mr. Zuo, and we will vote on it.’

Zuo Hancheng did not respond to the judges ‘words. He continued to look at the design on the small screen on the judges’ table.

After about ten seconds, he looked up at Anhao.””Gu Anhao.”

Suddenly, she felt her back tighten. She had just calmed down and was ready to respond to the situation. She turned around and met Zuo Hanchengs gaze. She saw the faint coldness in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at a stranger, as if he was looking at an unfamiliar interviewee. He was looking at her with a scrutinizing and cold gaze.

“From Miss Gu t s resume, I can see that you graduated from XX University in the United States and worked as an intern in a good architectural design company for two years. You have very good design and work experience.”

Anhao heard his words and immediately turned around to face him. She no longer let her emotions affect her mood.

“As far as 1 know, the company you’re working for in the United States is a benchmark in the American construction industry. Whether it’s the design concept or the working environment, it’s first-class, and the salary is excellent. I’m very curious. Why did you choose to give up this job and come back to China, back to A City, to apply for the job of a renovation designer for our gymnasium and cultural center?”

Anhao looked up at Zuo Hanchengs cold gaze, which was as cold as a stranger’s. The words that she had prepared were stuck in her throat for a few seconds.

The reason why she wanted this job was that she did not need to sign a

long-term contract. She only needed to complete the reconstruction of the stadium and cultural center before she could leave. This was suitable for her short-term plan to return to China, and she could also earn a lot of money.

However, it was impossible for her to answer in such a manner.. Furthermore, when she was faced with Zuo Hanchengs slightly cold gaze, it was even more impossible for her to answer in such a manner…
