These past few days, they both seemed to be operating in different time zones. Typically, Luo Ying would greet Lu Zhao in the morning, but Lu Zhao would be too preoccupied with work to respond until lunchtime.
Oftentimes, Lu Zhao would be in meetings until midnight, long after Luo Ying had finished filming for the day and sent her evening greetings.
“Sea City is embarking on a brand-new municipal construction endeavor.” Lu Zhao rubbed his forehead. It was obvious that his recent hectic schedule had worn him out. The skin under his eyes was a pale shade of bluish-black.
It was a major real estate development for the Luya Group this year, and a massive investment in the city.
The Luya Group wasn’t the only company interested in the site, though. All of the hopeful bidders were similarly sized international corporations to the Luya Group. As a result, Lu Zhao faced considerable competition.
Simultaneously, the bidding window was extremely small. He and his crew had to seize the opportunity to submit multiple bids for the project in the hopes of landing it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Sea City?” The name seemed familiar to Luo Ying. She was shocked. Could it be related to the story once more?
She now had a general understanding of the rules of this world. Though the plot could shift, certain events were guaranteed to occur no matter what. They could be halted temporarily, but they would resume in some other form.
She carefully recalled Sea City…Real estate…
“Yes, I am. Sea City has a stunning beach. Let’s go together after your movie is over.” Lu Zhao saw nothing out of the ordinary and kept right on talking.
“No!” Luo Ying suddenly became excited. She recalled it!
Lu Zhao paused. “Don’t you want to go?” Did she not want to go to Sea City, or did she not want to go with him?
“No, I’m saying that you can’t invest in this project!” In a rush, Luo Ying elaborated. . She remembered that this project was a trap designed for Lu Zhao in the plot.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhao frowned. He didn’t expect Luo Ying to pay attention to the project.
The government had funded this massive real estate project, making it the year’s centerpiece. The Luya Group had put in a lot of work. Why didn’t Luo Ying want to invest?
“Does the plan for Sea City involve constructing a new subway and commercial district in its downtown area?” Luo Ying asked tentatively. She had to make sure that everything first lined up.
“Yes.” Lu Zhao’s demeanor changed dramatically. This was classified project information. How did Luo Ying know about it?
“There are geological risks in that area!” Luo Ying recalled the information in the plot and said firmly, “Two years ago, a geological agency assessed that it was not suitable for deep development.”
If the Luya Group were to win the project but be unable to see it through to completion, the money would be lost. In the story, Lu Zhao had stumbled into this trap, and Lin Su and Lu Zhao had used this situation as leverage to strike a deal.
While Lu Zhao kept his usual cool exterior, he was actually in a state of shock.
There was a major taboo against discussing geological dangers in construction plans. However, all aspects of the project would be evaluated by experts before bids were even submitted. Such a major problem should not have occurred.
“It’s true. You can have a third-party organization verify my claims if you don’t trust me. You just can’t put money into this venture.” Luo Ying became concerned when Lu Zhao remained silent.
The original work hinted that this project itself was deliberately designed by humans. Not only were there geological problems, but there were also more traps waiting for Lu Zhao to step into.
Luo Ying didn’t know who was harming Lu Zhao, but she was well aware that the project couldn’t be funded.

Lu Zhao had faith in Luo Ying. The words of Luo Ying were enough to make him abandon the entire project, no matter how ridiculous or unreasonable they may be. But neither the development plan nor the geological report were available to Luo Ying. How did she figure that out?
Was it because of the ‘other world’?
Lu Zhao’s gaze dipped slightly. What was that world like, and what kind of existence were they to that world?
Lu Zhao quickly changed the subject to bury these thoughts deep within himself.
Luo attempted to lighten the mood by relating an interesting story about Yan
Xin.
“Has he joined the team?” Lu Zhao went with the flow and asked.
“He just got here today, and he specifically asked around if any extras had ever interacted with the female lead,” laughing, Luo Ying said.
Lu Zhao’s eyes were also glinting with a smile. He liked to listen to Luo Ying share these trivial matters of life.
But just two days later, Yan Xin was on Lu Zhao’s no-contact list..
