Chapter 3129 — Two Pieces of Good News

If Wei Zhao's guess was right, this was Liu Jinghan, the very woman he had once brushed past at the former Great Clan Assembly. Only then she had worn a veil, and Wei Zhao had paid her no mind, so his impression of her had stayed faint; now, for the first time, he was seeing this legendary prodigy of the Liu family with his own eyes. He wondered what was so especially prodigious about her. At least he could not see it yet, and the Liu family was still drowning in debt up to its neck. The only thing he could see was that prodigies all seemed partial to white BMW X5Ms. Be that as it may, Wei Zhao rose, left the room, and went out to the doorway to greet her. "Miss Liu Jinghan, I presume?" "That's me. Mr. Wei Zhao, hello!" Liu Jinghan locked up the car, smoothed a few stray strands of hair from her forehead, and gave Wei Zhao a faint smile—no particular flattery or deference, only respect and gratitude. "Thank you for trusting us, Mr. Wei Zhao, in handing over such a weighty business matter to the Liu family." "Mm, come in and talk." Wei Zhao nodded and gestured for her to enter the living room. As they walked he said, "Since we're partners, you can call me 'Boss' the way Lai the Fatso does, or just call me Wei Zhao—'Mr. Wei Zhao' every time feels awkward." "Boss?" Liu Jinghan was briefly taken aback, then said, "Then I'd better just call you Wei Zhao..." A girl calling someone "Boss" felt awkward to her. "Fine," Wei Zhao nodded. "Then don't call me Miss Liu Jinghan either—five syllables, longer than your four. Just call me Jingjing; that's what everyone in my family calls me," Liu Jinghan said. "Jingjing?" Wei Zhao frowned. To be honest, he did not much care for Liu Jinghan using that name. In his heart there was only one Jingjing, and that was Han Jingyi—a girl who mattered greatly to Wei Zhao. So he would not use that name for anyone else. "I'll call you Jinghan," he said. Liu Jinghan was slightly startled too, but she smiled and said, "Of course." Once they were seated on the sofa in the living room, Wei Zhao set the sample of the first-grade automatic medicinal cauldron that Han Jingyi had given him on the coffee table and said, "This is the first-grade automatic medicinal cauldron my friend invented. Next I'll explain its specific functions to you..." With that, Wei Zhao described the cauldron's functions to Liu Jinghan, then handed over to her both the encrypted program Xiao Jiu had sent him and the mass-production plan for the single-chip microcomputer chips. "I understand. With these things, whether it's the Liu family or Lai the Fatso's side, we'll all turn this around beautifully!" Liu Jinghan said with full confidence. "Don't worry, Wei Zhao. Once the cauldron goes into mass production, it won't just make up for the old deficits—it will turn a massive profit!" "Mm, it's all in your hands. Handle it as you see fit." Wei Zhao nodded and said nothing more, only adding, "If there's nothing else, you can head back to Yanjing." "All right, then Jingjing will be going. I'll keep in touch with you whenever there's news," Liu Jinghan said. After seeing Liu Jinghan off, Wei Zhao felt a faint disappointment. Liu Jinghan was utterly different from the person he had hoped to see. She was beautiful too, yes, but in a different style altogether, and her way of speaking was completely different as well, which at once killed Wei Zhao's interest in getting to know her better. Not long after Liu Jinghan left, another guest arrived at the villa—Xu Shilan's colleague Cheng Yiyi. Wei Zhao had not expected Cheng Yiyi to come here to visit Xu Shilan, and was somewhat surprised. "Wei Zhao, it's been ages! Did you miss me?" Cheng Yiyi walked into the villa's living room with a smile and looked at Wei Zhao as she asked. Wei Zhao shrugged. This was not an easy question to answer. Say he had missed her, and it sounded a little too intimate; say he hadn't, and it was simply too hurtful. So he could only dodge it. "Yiyi, are you here for work, or p
