Building an aircraft carrier is too difficult.
There are too many talented people in the project team.
She's a genius; there are tons of geniuses like her in the project team. She's the youngest and most inconspicuous one.
The little girl sat quietly in the corner, not crying, just staring at these seniors who were far superior to her in knowledge and experience, her eyes filled with frustration and resentment.
Lu Jinghui felt sorry for her, since she was his direct junior sister, so he teased her a bit.
The little girl couldn't resist being teased, and she really wanted to improve. After learning that he was also her senior brother, and the most outstanding one at that, she would often tug at him and ask him questions.
At first, he asked what he considered to be very basic questions, but later he asked more and more in-depth questions. As for three months later, the girl had transformed from a newcomer who could only stand in the corner and watch their discussions into a major participant standing at the table.
Only then did Lu Jinghui see pride and confidence in her face again.
Zhou Xiaonian's confidence was all earned by himself. At that time, he only admired her and even respected her. However, when he saw Gu Xiaoyue, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
They're both children of the Gu family, so why does his junior sister have to earn everything herself? The Gu family is so biased!
"Hey Senior Brother Lu, you were just trying to trick my sister into marrying you, and now you don't even dare to answer such a simple question?" Gu Xiaoyue grabbed Zhou Xiaonian's arm and pushed her inside. "Sister, look, he's guilty, he has something to hide, he has ulterior motives towards you! Maybe he wants to use you to achieve a leap in social class! This guy is no good, we can't associate with him!"
Lu Jinghui was dumbfounded: "Xiaoyue—"
"Please call me Miss Gu!"
“Okay, Miss Gu, I’m not feeling guilty. I was just thinking about how to answer in a way that would convince you I was genuinely captivated by your sister’s personal charm and that’s why I wanted to date her, and not that I had any other motives. Miss Gu, while the Lu family isn’t as powerful as the Gu family, they’re still quite well-off in H City. The Lu family has… I personally own…”
Lu Jinghui quickly revealed the truth to Gu Xiaoyue, showing that he was very sincere.
Gu Xiaoyue said, "I will ask my dad to verify your family situation, but for now, I still stand by what I said! I do not agree to you pursuing my sister! Or rather, if you want to pursue my sister, you have to get past me first! Then it's my five cousins! Then it's my uncles and cousins... Finally, only if my dad agrees can you pursue my sister!"
Zhou Xiaonian opened his mouth as if to say something, but his sister pushed him inside the door.
The Gu family's gate slammed shut.
Lu Jinghui suddenly realized that pursuing Zhou Xiaonian would be the biggest challenge he had ever faced in his life.
Zhou Xiaonian came back this time to take all the vacation time he hadn't taken in the past few years, a total of eight months.
For a full eight months, Zhou Xiaonian didn't want to stay cooped up in the capital. So, after getting the whole family's consent, Zhou Xiaonian planned a family trip that was full of unexpected situations but also very exciting and fun.
By the time they returned to the capital, it was already winter.
Snow had already begun to fall in the capital.
As soon as Zhou Xiaonian got out of the car, she saw the man standing outside the Gu family's gate.
Recognizing him, she quickly went up to greet him: "Senior Brother Lu, did you come to see me with a new mission?"
When Lu Jinghui turned around, Zhou Xiaonian realized that the man seemed to have aged considerably and looked much more weathered.
She was startled: "Senior Brother Lu, what happened to you? How come you've aged so much in just two months?"
Zhou Jinghui moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said one short sentence: "Zhou Xiaonian, you have no heart."
