Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Rain Curtain (2)

The meeting was still going on above, it was one of the last few reviews before submission for acceptance, and representatives from all three parties were present.

Lu Weixi submitted the documents and handed over the drawings. As she approached Qin Zhigu and handed things over to him, he slightly raised his head and glanced at her.

Lu Weixi seemed relaxed, as long as there were no issues with Qin Zhigu’s side and it was submitted to Mr. Liao for a review, it could be declared upwards. Typically, there wouldn’t be much delay upstairs, as long as it didn’t defy physics, passed the wind resistance, earthquake resistance, and fire design tests, basically, it would pass once it was submitted.

That meant, after two more reviews, Lu Weixi would no longer be working with him.

In the future, she would only see him at the Qin Family mansion, during meals. And even then, she had to be cautious because Qin Zhiyou was there, she couldn’t even have a conversation with him.

Thinking about this, Qin Zhigu, who was holding the materials, paused slightly.

Lu Weixi had handed over the items to him, but Qin Zhigu held the document bag, staring blankly at her.

Lu Weixi wanted to snatch it back, but he didn’t move, his face solemn.

Lu Weixi frowned, he didn’t let go, so she simply let go. To her surprise, when she let go, he also released his grip. The bag’s opening wasn’t closed properly, so it fell to the ground, scattering all the documents inside.

At that moment, all eyes in the office were on them. Qin Zhigu quickly stood up, “Sorry, sorry, I just zoned out.”

He helped to pick up the documents, his arm accidentally brushed against Lu Weixi’s hand, causing him to start slightly.

Lu Weixi quickly stepped back, frowning.

Qin Zhigu was slightly incoherent, “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

She just shook her head, didn’t say anything, then stepped back a bit towards her own desk, “Mr. Qin, please be sure to carefully read the documents, don’t cause any more chaos.”

Her tone was polite, but her attitude was very distant.

Qin Zhigu looked at her and nodded.

However, the sky outside suddenly darkened, then a “boom” of thunder erupted like a fearsome silver dragon exploding in the sky.

The room’s window was not completely closed, the wind blowing everything in the room into disarray, sending the uncollected documents flying.

Before anyone could react, it was followed by a “crashing” torrential rain. The raindrops were as large as soybeans, making a noise as they landed on the windowsill.

It was already time to get off work, Mr. Liao naturally said, “Everyone, clean up and get ready to leave.”

Everyone in the room closed the windows and gradually left. Lu Weixi also packed up her things and went downstairs, but stared blankly at the sky outside.

She didn’t drive today and took a taxi. Ten minutes earlier, she had called a Didi taxi, but upon checking the map, she found that the current traffic was severely congested. The driver also said he was stuck in traffic. The journey that usually took half an hour was now completely red, estimated to take two hours due to the congestion.

The rain was very heavy, unabated after ten minutes. Qin Zhigu came over, “I’ll take you back.”

“No need, a driver is on the way.” Just as she finished speaking, her order was cancelled.

Lu Weixi frowned, Qin Zhigu once again persuaded, “There’s no need for you to wait here like this. It’s just a car ride and it’s on my way.”

Lu Weixi still refused to get in the car, Qin Zhigu was a bit anxious. As they argued, a car pulled over nearby, and then a man holding a red umbrella got out of the car. From afar to near, it was Qin Zhiyou.
