Chapter 162: Testing Lu Ziyi
Was this a question that could be answered in a moment? Tang Hong knew his daughter’s personality; she was doubting Lu Ziyi’s abilities and deliberately testing him!
However, this test was a bit difficult. The atmosphere was originally relaxed, and everyone was talking about things outside of work to deepen their bonds. His daughter insisted on bringing up such a heavy work-related question, causing trouble for everyone!
“Heh heh,” Tang Hong took over his daughter Tang Jie’er’s words and said, “Let’s talk about work later. Ziyi is knowledgeable and experienced. When we travel and see those buildings, we only look at their appearance and listen to the tour guide’s explanations, but we don’t know the mysteries behind them. Ziyi has traveled to various places around the world and seen all sorts of buildings. Could you tell us about some buildings that Ziyi finds interesting and meaningful?”
Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Chuxiao beside him and asked, “Xiaoxiao, what type of architecture do you want to hear about?”
Ye Chuxiao had seen a book about the appreciation of ancient castle sketches in Lu Ziyi’s hometown bookshelf. She curiously asked, “Senior Student Ziyi, have you been to a castle?”
“I have,” Lu Ziyi said slowly with a gentle expression. “Then I’ll talk about the Top Ten Castles in the World that I’ve visited.”
Lu Ziyi’s topic immediately captivated everyone.
When castles are mentioned, they evoke images of places that seem like earthly paradises, often associated with royalty, nobility, and centers of political and economic power, already filled with historical legends.
Even more so, they bring to mind magic, vampires, and the hidden secrets of folklore, casting a magical veil over castles.
What Lu Ziyi narrated were not things described in textbooks, nor the daily lectures tour guides give to different tourists, but the adventures he personally experienced.
Because Lu Ziyi’s mother, Leng Yanfei, worked as a Martial Arts Instructor in film crews for many years, Lu Ziyi grew up by his Father Lu Xuanyu’s side.
Lu Xuanyu was a renowned Architect, and Lu Ziyi, being influenced by his surroundings, was full of interest in architecture from a young age.
Lu Xuanyu personally tutored his son, taking him to various places around the world, and he passed on all his skills to his son.
Lu Xuanyu had another identity: he was a Feng Shui Master who had inherited his skills from a sect. His perspective on architecture was different from that of ordinary people; it was a more magical and mysterious world.
The already magical castles, narrated by Lu Ziyi with his firsthand adventure stories, were captivating.
“Sorry, I’ll stop here,” Lu Ziyi suddenly said when everyone was engrossed in listening.
It was as if they had just entered a magical story, their eyes had just seen a dazzling and colorful world, and they were immediately pulled out.
Everyone was unaccustomed to it and wanted to continue listening, including Tang Jie’er.
Miss Tang was a person of high aspirations, but she was also a girl, and she yearned for the dreamy and romantic side of castles.
Moreover, Miss Tang was not an ordinary girl who loved to dream; she was very eager to explore the enchanting and even terrifying aspects of castles.
Lu Ziyi’s narration had touched the depths of Tang Jie’er’s heart.
However, Tang Jie’er pretended not to care on the surface, as if any tour guide could narrate like Lu Ziyi, and if she were interested, she could go on her own adventures.
“We’ll talk again next time. Ziyi’s perspective is too magical. Ziyi must finish telling Uncle Tang the stories of the Top Ten Castles; my heart is still hanging!”
Tang Hong’s words were not mere pleasantries. While the young people were listening to stories, Tang Hong had his own focus, which was also the reason he strongly wanted Lu Ziyi to serve as the Chief Consultant for the Tang Group’s major projects.
