After getting out of the car, Qiao Zhen jogged and saw Gu Xijue waiting at the door.

"Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you."

Qiao Zhen ran into the house, wiped the sweat from her brow, and said with great gratitude.

"It's alright, you weren't recognized by anyone along the way, were you?"

"No, they can't see clearly at night."

Qiao Zhen shook her head.

Just then, Gu Xijue received a phone call and turned his back to ask, "What is it?"

Since Gu Xijue didn't turn on speakerphone, Qiao Zhen couldn't hear what they were talking about. She only saw Gu Xijue say something very surprised after a while.

"Really?"

Qiao Zhen glanced at Gu Xijue in surprise, only to see his face filled with barely concealed excitement as he slowly hung up the phone.

"Zhenzhen, Lu's Group's stock has fallen, and their company is currently in a somewhat turbulent situation. This is the best time for us to take back the project!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt a sudden urgency for Lu Zheng.

"Is this a big problem? Will the Lu Group be affected by it?"

Seeing Qiao Zhen's concerned expression, Gu Xijue's expression darkened for a moment, but he immediately became serious again.

"Zhenzhen, don't forget what our goal is now: to take control of the Hope Primary School project!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen suddenly came to her senses.

Yes, Gu Xijue is right. What Lu Zheng is doing right now is not something she should be concerned about.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame herself again.

Why would she care about Lu Zheng so unthinkingly?

Thinking of this, she shook her head in frustration.
