Chapter 242 - 241: Could There Be a Problem?
Hu Jing did not know Ye Xinyan’s past, but hearing her speak so earnestly, he couldn’t help but admire, "Lady Qi is not only capable but also possesses a kindness that considers others, truly rare."
Jinrong quietly watched Ye Xinyan, his eyes filled with approval. That day, west of the capital, if it hadn’t been Ye Zi he encountered, but some other person, Ye Zi could have been captured and taken back.
It was also fate that brought them together. Although Ye Zi had fled thousands of miles, they still met in this small county town. If he hadn’t snatched away Qi Jiaer’s Paper Bird, if he hadn’t paid reluctant attention to the small eatery, how could there have been the subsequent dairy farm, Dairy Products Store? And how could there be the current rail transport plan? And how could he have allowed Ye Zi’s brilliance to remain unburied, allowing the world to see such an extraordinary woman?
Ye Xinyan humbly said to Hu Jing, "Mr. Hu flatters me. I merely had an earlier encounter with railroads and thus gained some understanding. Whether it is the Imperial Workshops or planning matters, acting earlier or later will result in a growing disparity in the work that follows. It is not that the craftsmen at the Sixth Master’s Mansion are not diligent; it is truly the result of engaging with the matter too late and lacking the sense of recognition." Her true feelings.
Jinrong turned his gaze to the window, seeing Ye Zi as such a wise and sensible woman.
Hu Jing looked at the clerks eagerly peering in the direction of Wong Qiao and asked Ye Xinyan, "I see Lady Qi has already written quite a few papers. May I know if it is possible to take a look at the portion of the document that has been drafted, so that we may gain some insight?"
The two clerks nodded repeatedly. Lady Qi had already agreed to let them see the drafted document, but the topic had been diverted and half a day had passed without bringing it up again.
Ye Xinyan smiled, "Mr. Hu need not be so formal. Just now the Sixth Master had mentioned this, but then we got sidetracked. These documents were prepared at the request of the Sixth Master, and once completed, are to be delivered to the Sixth Master’s Mansion. If we talk about the difference between seeing them sooner or later, that would be that if there are any issues with the documents we’ve created, we can correct them as soon as possible."
