252: Chapter 252: Perhaps It’s Just a Bad Mood 252: Chapter 252: Perhaps It’s Just a Bad Mood For the following two days, Zhao Guang spent most of his time in his study, undisturbed by anyone. With continuous research and study, Zhao Guang’s understanding of the Maze spell deepened, and it looked like he might complete it in just a couple of days. To finish his spell, Zhao Guang had even set aside his Otherworld trade. Moreover, he was gradually finding his way with the improvements to his Healing Technique, and it wouldn’t be long before he completed those improvements as well. Just as he was engrossed in his research that day, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” said Zhao Guang without looking up. To his surprise, Ye Zhi came in instead of someone else coming to inform him it was time to eat. “What brings you here?” Zhao Guang asked, somewhat astonished. Ye Zhi came forward and placed the item she was carrying on his desk: “Have you forgotten that I’m your assistant? Of course, I’ve come because I have some things to deliver to you.” So this woman was his assistant, Zhao Guang almost mistook her for the landlady. The only places that were truly his in this residence were his room and the study; the rest were filled with unfamiliar people, a notion Zhao Guang found quite odd. It was only now that he remembered this woman was his assistant. “Why not have someone else deliver it? It’s the same whoever brings it over.” “No, it’s not the same at all. There are some things that can’t just be seen by anyone.” “Like what?” Zhao Guang asked as he lifted his head and began looking through the documents she had brought. “Like what you see here. Some individuals from the province have been taken down; all of this is internal information that absolutely can’t be leaked, or it could cause trouble,” Ye Zhi continued. It seemed so, and Zhao Guang nodded in agreement, though he hadn’t expected to be shown such things. Was this meant to put his mind at ease? Seeing this information indeed brought him some relief. Liu Jiayin had called him over the past two days, saying that things were going smoothly. However, due to the overwhelming success, Liu Jiayin had become extremely busy. “There’s also these, the copies of the collaborative documents with the Department of Transportation. The recent road and bridge construction is going very well, it’s just that your construction crew is too small and needs help from other crews.” “I’m reassured by the national deployment of construction crews; after all, they’re used to handling major projects.” “That’s true. They even worked on the dam construction; these projects are really nothing to them,” Ye Zhi agreed, nodding. “Okay, I’ve finished reviewing these documents, and they seem fine. Moreover, in the future, I will communicate these matters with Liu Jiayin; I usually don’t handle these issues.” Ye Zhi felt helpless as she had long realized Zhao Guang was the type to delegate responsibilities. Such big matters were being handed over to others; if it were anyone else, they would be restless day and night, personally supervising the sites. This guy had such a carefree attitude. And those behind him were also interesting; trusting Zhao Guang, an unreliable fellow, with so much money. They must be truly confident. After all, the money Zhao Guang earned didn’t seem to be transferred overseas directly. As for Haimanjin, a company based overseas, they had no way to track what happened with that part of the funds. Perhaps, the expenditures of those behind him were from Haimanjin; just hope it doesn’t cause any disputes. “Hey, you’re actually looking at these materials; do you understand them?” Finally, Ye Zhi noticed the books by Zhao Guang’s side. Some of those books had names she had never heard of. They seemed related to mathematics and some to biology. But after flipping through them briefly, Ye Zhi felt a headache coming on. Although she wasn’t a top student in school, she was a good student. Why couldn’t she understand a thing? Zhao Guang said nonchalantly, “Just learning something on the side, to enrich myself.” As for the magic-related materials, he wasn’t worried at all. It wasn’t just that the person before him couldn’t understand; even if she did, it would be useless, because on Earth, without the Magic Elements, outsiders simply couldn’t harness anything. Even for himself, it was only because he possessed the spiritual power of a Junior Mage that he could operate it. If it were an ordinary person from this world, it’s doubtful anyone could cultivate their spiritual power to such an extent. “Is there anything else?” Zhao Guang noticed that Ye Zhi had still not left. “Yes, I’ve told you I’m your assistant, so those odd things of yours are of course a priority,” she responded. Odd things? What was that? He had just stockpiled some goods, and hadn’t had anything delivered to his villa. Wait, could it be that his warehouse was completed? Before Zhao Guang could inquire, Ye Zhi spoke up: “Your warehouses have been basically constructed. However, the specialized elite warehouse will take a few more days.” Zhao Guang nodded, “That’s great; add one more top-tier warehouse for me, and notify them.” Ye Zhi rolled her eyes. She had been coddled since childhood, treated like a little princess. She came here to report to this guy as his assistant, and he didn’t feel honored, but also treated her like an assistant. She felt angry but couldn’t vent it, as it seemed he wasn’t exactly doing something wrong. Really now, how had her grandfather insisted she stay here for at least a year, even if only as a shield? Annoyed, Ye Zhi decided to let everything go all at once. “Also, the construction framework for your museum has been built. But acquiring the insects and special species unique to some regions also needs some time.” This was constructed already, too? That was quick; truly fitting for a professional team. Zhao Guang showed a hint of a smile, “Good; with that, I can rest easy.” In the future, if anyone dared to trouble him, he would let them know the threat of loose poisonous insects. “Lastly, Bai Heng plans to visit you, likely the day after tomorrow. If you have any engagements, I can ask him to postpone it,” said Ye Zhi as she stood up, fixing Zhao Guang with an intense gaze. Zhao Guang, not catching Ye Zhi’s drift, began to ponder. “Okay, fine. I don’t have anything scheduled the day after tomorrow, so you can tell him to come over.” “I will go and inform him,” said Ye Zhi as she turned and left, although the sound of the door closing seemed a bit too loud. Zhao Guang looked at the door, puzzled. What was up with this woman? She seemed much more irritable than usual today. Never mind; women have their days, perhaps she was just in a bad mood.
