Chapter 1031: Task Difficulty – Max (1)

Cai Qinyue cautiously asked Lucy: “Miss Goodman, why are you willing to help us?”

“I’m a foreigner. I don’t know much about your culture. However, I want to expand into the Eastern markets. Therefore, I need someone to help me and give me a bit of advice. I believe Ms. Cai fulfills my requirements as you’ve had some dealings with the Zhai family. The Zhai family is one of the largest local families so you will definitely be able to help me.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue did not know how to respond. She didn’t associate with the Zhai family… The only thing that associated the Zhai family with her was Jian Yiling.

“About that…”

“Ms. Cai, are you not willing to help?” Lucy asked with a smile.

“No. That’s not what I meant.”

Cai Qinyue paused for a moment. This was a rare opportunity for her to help her daughter. She could not miss this opportunity.

She knew that it was impossible for her daughter to be acquitted. However, there was the possibility for her daughter’s sentence to be lessened.

And even if she couldn’t help Lucy, it was Lucy who took the initiative to approach her. She couldn’t be blamed for this.

For now, she would get Lucy to help her daughter.

“Of course, I’m willing to help,” Cai Qinyue promised Lucy.

“That’s good. From tomorrow, you will come to work for me. I will not treat you poorly in terms of salary and benefits.”

“Okay,” Cai Qinyue responded happily.

Jian Yiling and Wen Zhe’s task applications both got accepted.

Then, the organization notified them of the meeting place.

The two of them went together to the laboratory. It was the same laboratory as the one where Jian Yiling had her assessment.

Yu Xing came to greet them.

This time, there were five people completing the task. In addition to Jian Yiling and Wen Zhe, there were three others.

After a while, those three people arrived. One of them turned out to be Qin Chuan.

Wen Zhe was not happy to see him.

Was this guy here for his sister?

He had to watch over his sister! He would not give him a chance to bully his sister!

And thus, Wen Zhe stared at Qin Chuan. It was as though he was looking at a thief.

If Qin Chuan did anything that would harm his sister, he would not forgive him!

Then, a middle-aged man arrived. He was slightly older and had average looks.

The middle-aged man asked Yu Xing: “Ms. Yu Xing, why is a surgeon here? I don’t think this mission requires a surgeon’s abilities and talents. In fact, the numerical simulation of the long-term evolution of the subduction of the Caroline Sea has absolutely nothing to do with surgery.”

This task involved the knowledge of geology, computing algorithms, complex functions, integral transformations, signal processing, and geophysics.

Yu Xing smiled before she replied: “This was decided by the management. I’m not sure why they made this decision. But since they made this decision, there must be a reason for it.”

Jian Yiling’s task application was not approved by her.

The last person to arrive was Lucy. She also applied for this task.

“Why are you also here?” Wen Zhe asked. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Lucy.

“Don’t be mistaken. I didn’t come here because of you guys. In fact, it has nothing to do with you guys. I simply want to complete this task to rank up,” Lucy replied.

She wanted to use the power and influence of Xunyu to find the location of their family compass. However, her current rank did not give her enough authority to use all the resources of Xunyu.

Then, Lucy eyed Jian Yiling with disdain and said: “In comparison, it appears as though Miss Jian’s participation in this task is stranger. As far as I know, this task does not involve medicine nor surgery right?”
