"Xia Zhi," Junting called .

Xia Zhi turned his head to the source of the voice .

"Senior…" He said with a smile that stopped short on his face when he saw the man who accompanied Junting .

The man had a domineering presence that was hard to ignore . Even though Xia Zhi hadn't met him for a few years, he recognized him immediately .

It was… Xi Mubai .

Trailing behind him was his assistant, Chang An whom he just met a few days ago .

Mubai gave the gangly teen a once-over . He felt the teen look fairly familiar .

Their path only crossed once, which was during his wedding to Xinghe . Advertisement

Xia Zhi had grown in the past few years so it was natural Mubai couldn't identify him instantly . Chang An, however, recognized him with just one glance .

Junting approached Xia Zhi, laughing as he said, "Your timing is as impeccable as always . "

Xia Zhi ignored Mubai and focused on Junting . "Senior, thank you so much for your help . I couldn't find anything better out there so I have to borrow from your private library . "

Junting replied, "I would have lent you some sooner if you'd just asked, but I have to say, I don't think you'll be needing these reading materials any time soon . "

The books were indeed far too advanced for Xia Zhi's current level .

Xia Zhi knew he had to come clean so he said, "It's not for me but my friend . She's so good that she has no eyes for anything less than the best . "

A shocked Junting replied, "Who is this friend of yours? Is it the same person who wrote the mini-game?"

"Yes, that's the one…"

"Who is this person? You have to introduce her to me one day," Junting said . He was interested in this friend's mysterious identity .

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "She's a bit caught up with life at the moment . I'll be sure to make the introduction when the opportunity presents itself . "

"Alright, I'll hold you to your promise . Here's the books you wanted . Return them to me when she's done with them," Junting said as he passed the bag he held in his hand to Xia Zhi .

"Thank you, senior . I'll be leaving now…" Xia Zhi accepted the bag and left in a hurry .

"Xia Zhi, wait…" Junting called after him but he was already gone . Junting wanted to introduce him to Mubai .

Junting said rather indignantly, "Youngsters these days are always rushing somewhere . Can't he recognize the famous CEO Xi?"

Mubai asked insouciantly, "Who is that guy?"

"That's my junior from school, a good person and is quite a talent . I intend to let him join our company because I can see he'll be a valuable asset after some training . "

"He looks awfully familiar . "

Chang An took the break in their conversation to cough lightly and whisper to Mubai, "CEO Xi, that's Xia Zhi . "

"Xia Zhi?" Mubai mulled over the name that he heard once before .

"He's Miss Xia's cousin . "

Everything clicked instantly . It was truly an incredible coincidence .

Junting overheard their conversation so he asked, "Who's Miss Xia? And how do you know Xia Zhi?"

"I suppose you can say that we are somewhat related but I didn't expect the two of you to know each other as well . "

Junting knew where to draw the line so he concluded, "It is indeed a small world . Those books happened to be chosen by you as well . "

"What I did was merely pull a few titles off your shelf," Mubai said with a shrug but he was indeed curious who the books were for .

Those were some of the more difficult books in Junting's collection .

One could say he was a bit miffed when he did the selection . He originally went looking for Junting but the latter said he needed some time to wrap up a project so he left him with a request while Junting went to finish his work . "Since CEO Xi is so well-read, I'm sure my inquisitive junior could benefit a lot from CEO Xi's careful selection," were his exact words .
