Song Li finally got to the point. He smiled and replied, "The Fifth Lord promised you first. But then again, you didn't sign a contract with The Fifth Lord. The Fifth Lord could have chosen Elder Bei, but he didn't. Instead, he chose you. Do you know why?"
Shuxin shook her head blankly. "Why?"
Song Li was a little anxious. He wanted to say, "Because you are special in The Fifth Lord's heart." However, he didn't dare to say it. He could only stare at Shuxin unblinkingly, trying to tell her his thoughts with his eyes. "Think about it. The Fifth Lord didn't use a world-class master architect. Why did he choose you, a college student?"
Yes, why?
Shuxin was also very curious.
Shuxin thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Is it because I helped The Fifth Lord out that night at the bar? Is he using this method to return the favor?"
"…" Song Li was so anxious that he was about to scratch his heart and liver. Why was this girl so slow to react?
Even if Shu Xin did not show up that night at the bar, Huo Yanqing would still be fine. After all, Fifth Lord was the captain of the country's special forces before he took over the Huo Corporation. He held the rank of major general and his combat skills … Not to mention two rookies, he could easily take down ten or even twenty of them without being able to see.
In fact, Shuxin couldn't be blamed for being slow to react. She had only met Huo Yanqing a few times. Moreover, Huo Yanqing was the kind of person who was unattainable. He was also Huo Jibai's fifth uncle, so he could be considered her elder. She would never have thought that Huo Yanqing would have feelings for her.
Song Li sighed helplessly. Was he too anxious? Should he have given them more time to let Shuxin feel that The Fifth Lord treated her differently from others?
The Fifth Lord finally had his eyes on someone. He couldn't let his recklessness ruin The Fifth Lord's plans.
There was no hurry. There was still a long way to go.
Song Li comforted himself. His anxious heart calmed down again. Just then, the elevator arrived. "Miss Shu, please."
The two of them went to the CEO's office together. Huo Yanqing was sitting on the executive chair behind the desk, drinking coffee with a cup in one hand. His cold and sharp facial features were perfect and impeccable. Sitting alone, he seemed to have taken up the entire room.
A sentence suddenly popped up in Shu Xin's mind: Wherever he is, the scenery is picturesque.
"Fifth Lord, Miss Shu is here."
"Mm." Huo Yanqing responded indifferently.
Song Li moved the genuine leather chair opposite Huo Yanqing a little further away. "Miss Shu, please have a seat."
Shuxin sat down. She took out the design drawings and placed them on the table. "Fifth Uncle, I've finished the design drawings."
Shuxin had thought about how to address him as Fifth Uncle before coming. She was a junior and was classmates with his nephew, Huo Jibai. It was more cordial and respectful to address him this way.
Huo Yanqing frowned slightly when he heard the words' Fifth Uncle '. "Song Li, take the design drawings to the design department for a discussion. Give me the results in an hour."
"Okay." Song Li picked up the design drawings on the table and left the office.
After Song Li left, only Shuxin and Huo Yanqing were left in the office.
