971: Chapter 945: Too Embarrassed to Speak!

Instantly Cowed!

971: Chapter 945: Too Embarrassed to Speak!

Instantly Cowed!

Chu Yunxuan had no appetite for food at all.

After hastily returning her tray, she hurried to the office building.

Walking briskly, her mind was a buzz.

“This happiness has come too suddenly!”

Biting her lip, Chu Yunxuan’s heart was in turmoil, consumed with thoughts of how to present herself later.

She wasn’t paying attention to where she was going and almost slammed headfirst into the glass door.

What a relief!

Everyone had gone to lunch, so no one saw Chu Yunxuan’s near blunder.

She glanced around sheepishly, pushed the glass door open, and, in her high heels, rushed to the elevator.

And that near collision had also jolted her to her senses.

“That’s not right!

The person I was chatting with couldn’t have been Jie!

So what does he want to talk to me about?”

“He probably doesn’t even know I have a video of him and his wife, right?”

“The office…

heh, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance it’s about work!

I’m overthinking it!”

Chu Yunxuan suddenly became alert.

She paused to collect her thoughts and tried her best to calm down.

After a few deep breaths, she took the elevator up.

When she got to the general manager’s office, she saw the door was open.

Wu Jie was sitting on the sofa, smoking and intently looking at the engineering blueprint on the coffee table.

“Jie!”

Chu Yunxuan called out with a crisp smile, entered the room, closed the door behind her, but did not lock it.

She walked gracefully to the water dispenser, bent over to pour Wu Jie a glass of water.

“Here’s some water for you, Jie!”

Chu Yunxuan then sat down at ease, keeping a proper distance from Wu Jie.

Her heart was bursting with countless words, a thousand things to say.

She wanted to speak, to say so much.

But when it came to speaking, it all turned into a simple greeting.

“Are you and President Tang doing well?”

Wu Jie smiled lightly.

“We’re fine!”

Chu Yunxuan’s smile was somewhat strained.

“That’s good, then.

That’s good!”

Chu Yunxuan sat politely next to Wu Jie, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

As if even without a word, she could gaze at him for a thousand years.

Wu Jie, eyes on the blueprint, spoke in an even tone:

“It’s been tough on you, managing both the highway and overseeing Science Research City!”

“Not tough at all!” Chu Yunxuan replied with a beaming smile, “I’m more than happy to work for you, Jie!”

Wu Jie drained his glass of water, set it down, and with a smirk and a teasing look in his eyes, glanced at Chu Yunxuan.

What defines a naturally charming woman?

Noticing that Wu Jie kept admiring her, Chu Yunxuan didn’t feel the slightest bit of shame or anger.

If it had been any other man staring at her constantly, she would surely get angry.

But Wu Jie was different…

Better that he be willing to look; it proved that her meticulous grooming, frequent exercising, and self-care were all worthwhile.

“With such enchanting looks, no wonder Tang Xiao has a special eye for you!”

Wu Jie teased with a smile.

Chu Yunxuan pouted her red lips in mock anger and responded,

“What are you talking about, Jie?

Since that night, there’s been no inappropriate intimacy between President Tang and me!”

“How she sees me is her business.

My heart belongs only to you, you are the only one for me now and forever!”

Wu Jie chuckled.

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk sweet nothings.

I called you here to discuss this phase of the project!”

He pointed at the blueprint and instructed:

“I’ve already asked around, the supercomputer and the large data center have been test-run for a day, and everything is going pretty well!”

“If that’s the case, then it’s time to issue the completion and acceptance report for all the construction units involved.”

Chu Yunxuan was a bit stunned.

“No…

no way, Jie?

This is a mega-comprehensive project with an investment of tens of billions.

According to the contract, it’s supposed to be tested for three months and guaranteed for three years without any problems before issuing completion and acceptance.”

“If you give them acceptance and settle the final payment now, what happens if there is a problem later on?

They won’t take it as seriously anymore!”

Wu Jie shook his head, smiling, “No problem, all the units involved in this project were meticulously selected for their strength and reputation.

I trust they won’t collude to give me a shoddy project as a façade!”

“Test-running for a day is essentially no different from three months with all the newest and best equipment.

How likely are they to have an issue?

Even if we asked them for a three-year guarantee, it would only involve routine inspections and part replacements.”

“The most critical point is that this is our core scientific research facility, which will be used for highly confidential scientific research in the future, involving extremely valuable data.

Therefore, it should be our own responsibility to maintain and upgrade.”

Chu Yunxuan nodded slightly in understanding.

“I get it; you’re worried about research leaks, so you want to let them complete the project early and move on, right?”

“If we do that, we’re significantly lowering their costs.

No, I’ll have to negotiate with them, they must lower their prices!”

“If they won’t agree to a price reduction, we should get an equivalent value in spare parts and supplies for the three-year warranty period!”

Wu Jie grinned, “Indeed!

You really are clever at not letting others take advantage of you!”

Chu Yunxuan replied with a proudly teasing smile,

“In the business world, generosity only gets you called a fool with too much money.

They’ve already made quite a bit from the contract; why let them make more for no reason?”

Wu Jie smiled and then pointed at the airport position on the blueprint.

“The construction progress of the airport is much faster than I anticipated.

Has quality inspection found any issues?”

Chu Yunxuan explained:

“I’ve arranged for more than one random inspection and test,” Wu Jie said.

“This Construction Group is quite exceptional, having undertaken many medium to large airport construction general contracting projects with rich experience and leading technology!”

“Our airport, unlike international airports, doesn’t have large terminals or vast parking aprons,” he continued.

“It just has longer runways and more advanced guidance equipment, which is not much of a challenge for them!”

“By increasing a lot of engineering equipment and construction personnel, the progress of the project naturally sped up quite a bit,” he noted.

“It’s expected that a series of pre-flight checks can be conducted next month before opening to air traffic.”

…

After listening to Chu Yunxuan’s detailed report on the progress of various projects, Wu Jie couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Having money really allowed for anything to be done.

For Liuli Continent, dubbed ‘Infrastructure Maniac,’

As long as the funds were in place, even building another Great Wall would be no difficulty.

With sufficient funds, no project was too large or too challenging.

Delays and cutting corners only proved that the money wasn’t enough.

With huge funding poured into the Science Research City, is it not inevitable to churn out one high-quality project after another?

…

After finishing discussing work, Wu Jie was ready to get up and leave.

“From now on, that building will simply be called the ‘Intelligence Center.’ I’ll head over to conduct the inspection at around three or four in the afternoon; you can start negotiating with the contractors now!”

“I’ll get right on it!”

Chu Yunxuan also promptly stood up, and as Wu Jie was about to walk out the door, she couldn’t help but speak up.

“Jie!”

“What’s up?” Wu Jie turned around with a smile.

Chu Yunxuan’s cheeks were flushed, feeling oddly panicked and confused.

She slowly approached Wu Jie, feeling increasingly nervous.

Seeing Wu Jie always reminded her of those five videos, and she couldn’t stop her incessant daydreaming!

“Is there something else?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.

Chu Yunxuan bit her red lip with pearly teeth, her delicate jade hands clenched into fists.

She didn’t know what would be appropriate to say.

What to say?

Should she say that she knew everything?

And that there were videos with the truth?

Then what?

The next step would be to threaten him, to make Wu Jie comply with her demands?

No!

It was too difficult to articulate!

Alone, it’s often all too easy to go crazy with all sorts of wild and bold ideas.

But when it comes to actually executing them, cowardice sets in an instant.

Just like those ‘tough guys’ who constantly yell about killing someone.

When they actually face the person and need to take someone’s life, where is the courage to do so?

And if the other person is taller, more imposing, with more people, it’s not just an instant cowardice; it’s downright immediate groveling or pretending to be a stranger.

Just like Chu Yunxuan at this moment…

Her mind swirled with crazy thoughts, but when she was alone with Wu Jie, with the opportunity to speak, she couldn’t get the words out.

So…

The time wasn’t ripe yet, she hadn’t prepared a plan, best to wait a little longer!

After comforting herself internally, Chu Yunxuan immediately responded with a beaming smile:

“It’s nothing significant.

About the car last night, it’s dedicated for your use from now on; I’ve already asked the driver to apply for a new one for myself!”

Saying this, Chu Yunxuan handed over the spare car keys.

One car, two sets of keys, with the main key of course being on Wu Jie.

“Alright!

That’s thoughtful of you.

Having a car will definitely make travel more convenient!”

After taking the keys, Wu Jie left with a slight smile.

Deep down, he was genuinely pleased.

After all, following the previous night, that Tianwei SUV held a very different significance for Wu Jie and his wife.

Naturally, they wouldn’t want it to be used as a company car anymore.

Chu Yunxuan followed him to the door.

She watched, head peering out until Wu Jie’s figure disappeared around the corner, her gaze filled with reluctance to let go.

Of course, there was also resentment.

“What a great opportunity!

I can’t believe I didn’t speak up!”

“But the issue is…

how should I say it?

This is an office, with people coming and going, it’s not convenient!”

Amid these reflections, Chu Yunxuan closed the door and focused on her work.

She quickly got in touch with the contractors from different fields such as construction, air conditioning, and electric power for the ‘Intelligence Center’ project, briefly conveying Wu Jie’s message.

And with the prospect of earlier completion, earlier payment, and not having to be responsible for any issues afterward…

The leaders of each unit were naturally thrilled, and they readily agreed to Chu Yunxuan’s requests.

After wrapping things up, Chu Yunxuan immediately called Wu Jie.

Hearing Tang Xiao’s voice, she at once confirmed that it had to be Tang Xiao who had been chatting with her on XinXin.

After briefly discussing the matter, Chu Yunxuan hung up the phone.

This woman not only monopolized the man she loved but also slept with her…

what was there to talk about?

She put away her phone and instructed her assistant to notify all departments to get their project documentation in order.

Chu Yunxuan quickly led the team to the Intelligence Center to assist Wu Jie in completing the acceptance and handover work.

In the evening.

Before the grand celebration banquet began, President Tang arrived.

Bright eyes, white teeth, a captivating demeanor.

A happily in love woman indeed shined even more.

Chu Yunxuan, however, noticed that her gaze towards her had drastically changed…
