“After Zhang Qian said those words, Xiang Kun immediately started to introspect:

Did he unintentionally use “Emotional Assimilation”?

No, he didn’t!

Did he unintentionally use any abilities that could affect the mind or mood?

No, not at all!

Ever since he had unintentionally used ‘Emotional Assimilation” in Chongyun Village and significantly affected the deputy village chief, Liu Caifu, Xiang Kun had been extremely cautious about this kind of situation. He consciously restrained his emotions to avoid any uncontrollable effects.

After Director Lin and Assistant Chen left, Zhang Qian immediately asked: “Do you have that paper with you from last time?”

Xiang Kun was confused: “Shouldn’t we be discussing the project issue we just talked about?”

“As long as you tell me how you did that trick with the A4 paper last time, I can make Director Lin stay and sign a contract with you tomorrow.” Zhang Qian said as she stared at him.

“Wait, are you trusting such a big project with me? And I’m not even based in Pengcheng!” Xiang Kun reminded, “For such professional matters, I think you should let the professionals decide.”

Zhang Qian laughed: “Why do I feel like you are more afraid of the project getting messed up than I am? Your idea is clear enough, just like constructing a building. You provide the blueprint and build the foundation, and then we get a construction team to build the rest.”

She tapped lightly on the table with her finger and continued: “I know Director Lin’s judgement. Since he values you, your abilities should be capable enough. Plus, before you came, he told me a little bit about you, and how you had performed at his classmate’s company for seven years. But I didn’t expect the person his was talking about to be you…”

“But Director Lin may not agree with the terms I proposed.” Xiang Kun said.

“He might not, but I will.” Zhang Qian paused for a brief moment, then smiled: “If I understand correctly, with this approach, the cost should be lower than other methods, right?”

Xiang Kun frowned: “That’s not certain. It depends on the development time, the collaborating team we would find later, and there are also maintenance issues for the future.”

“That’s fine. We can just find you when the time comes, you are not running away.”

“But I’m not in Pengcheng.”

“With today’s technology, even surgeries can be performed remotely, let alone software development?” Zhang Qian said, unconcerned.

Xiang Kun began to understand that for this project, she mainly wanted two things: to save costs and to speed up the process. As for how the final result turned out, she didn’t seem to care.

There might be deeper reasons for this, but Xiang Kun didn’t know, nor did he want to know; it didn’t matter to him anyway.

“Since that’s the case, then I have no issue.” If someone was willing to pay him to try, why would he reject it? At the contract signing, he would clarify his working conditions and methods, if they disagreed, there wouldn’t be a contract at all.

Yet Zhang Qian returned to the original topic: “But you have to tell me first how you did that magic trick with the A/+ paper at the bar last time?”

“Nope.” Xiang Kun answered without hesitation.

Through collecting data on Zhang Qian’s physical reactions, Xiang Kun found that she seemed much more interested in the thing with the paper than the project itself.

Zhang Qian suggested: “Or you could just perform it again, right here. What props do you need? Shall I ask the waiter to bring some paper?”

“I can’t perform it. It only works with my paper.” Xiang Kun said regretfully:

“Unfortunately, my paper has ‘left’, so you can’t see its ‘performance’ anymore.”

Of course, Zhang Qian didn’t believe this, and jokingly said: ‘Why are you being so petty? I’m offering you such a big business deal, just asking you to perform a small magic trick. You’ve performed it before, haven’t you? Isn’t the saying that the client is ‘daddy’?”

Xiang Kun shrugged: “It’s not that I don’t want to, I just can’t. I really can’t perform it now. If you feel that we can’t cooperate because of this, then there’s nothing I can do. I’m not a magician after all.”
