A gentle breeze swirls around the hillside of Lantau Island at night as orange and green race cars navigate the curves with smooth, natural trajectories.

To prepare for the race against Selene, Wilda practiced racing for a few days before heading to Hong Kong to maintain his driving skills, and today's race was a spectacular display of skill from the very beginning.

Fu Ziyan stared at the track, her expression serious, her heart pounding, the roar of the engines sending adrenaline surging through her.

She hadn't felt this thrilling and exhilarating excitement in a long time! Of course, there are racers in Hong Kong, but their driving skills are all rather conservative; none of them are the kind of racers who can go crazy with Wilda like she does.

The moonlight was hazy, and a gentle evening breeze was blowing.

Witnessed by the moonlight and mountain breeze, Fu Ziyan won by a mere fraction of a second, taking advantage of her home field.

Wilda stepped out of the car with her long legs, taking off her helmet as she walked towards Fu Ziyan, saying loudly with a smile, "Selene's driving skills are as good as ever."

Mingqiao took the safety helmet that Fu Ziyan had taken off with a natural movement.

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows at him, then turned around and smiled: "You too, I almost lost my position as the host."

"Shall we compete again when we have time?"

Fu Ziyan casually agreed, "Sure."

She didn't expect that Wilda would invite her to dinner and race the next day after saying "we'll race again when we have time." As a police officer, Mingqiao remained vigilant and followed him every time.

Fu Ziyan loves playing with cars, but she gets tired of repeating the "eat, race" routine every other day.

Having been invited three times in a row in a ridiculously long period, Fu Ziyan felt like an NPC in a game whose scenes were constantly being reset, needing to refresh her storyline every other day. Finally, before her father warned her to "know when to stop," she abandoned her enthusiastic role as a host and parachuted into the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway negotiation team, traveling with them to the mainland.

When Wilda called again to invite Selene to go racing, she learned from the secretary the regrettable news that "the young lady is away on a business trip."

He frowned: "Where did Selene go on her business trip? Did she say when she would be back?"

Zhang Xiafei shook his head: "Miss didn't go into details, I only know that it was in the mainland and that she was on a business trip with Mr. Zhang's team."

gentlemen?

Wilda immediately pictured Fu Qiyuan's seemingly gentle and refined face, and instantly suppressed her ulterior motives.

Zhang Xiafei smiled and respectfully inquired, "Before she left, Miss mentioned that she wanted the hotel to take good care of you. We've specially arranged an assistant to accompany you, to ensure you feel at home. What activities would you prefer? We'll prepare these for you..."

“No need for that.” Wilda’s movements remained gentlemanly, but his tone was indifferent and distant. “Since Selene has work to do, I won’t bother her. I’ll return to London after I finish my work. Thank you for your kind offer.”

"You're welcome."

...

Fu Ziyan, who was being thought of, was currently busy accompanying Shenghong Investment Company in negotiations with the Guangdong government regarding a joint venture for the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway.

After three days of negotiations, the cooperation was finally finalized and a contract was signed.

With the joint venture construction contract finalized, the reconstruction of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway commenced rapidly. Domestic media outlets widely reported on the project, and foreign investors interested in the situation in mainland China also took notice.

Sonny too.

Fu Ziyan met Sunny at the restaurant, where she was having dinner with Gao Linghua, who was catching up with her.

“Selene!”

The surprise in his voice was clearly visible.

Fu Ziyan turned her head and met Sunny's smiling face.

“Sunny?” Fu Ziyan smiled. “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

He nodded, smiled, and walked closer: "There are quite a few construction projects here recently, so I've come to take a look."

Fu Ziyan understood.

Sunny's visit at this time must be because he is attracted by Zhuhai's advantages in transportation.

Two years ago, Sunny mentioned to her that he wanted to develop his business in Zhuhai, but the policy conditions weren't quite right at the time. This year, the conditions have finally improved. On the 6th of this month, the Jiuzhou Port, which connects Zhuhai with Hong Kong and Macau via waterway passenger transport, broke ground, and the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway has also begun reconstruction these past few days.

"how do you feel?"

“It’s even better than I expected.” Sonny smiled. He had originally thought that Zhuhai was close to Macau and therefore suitable for development, but now that it has advantages in transportation, he is even more optimistic about Zhuhai.

"Selene, are you free for a coffee?"

Fu Ziyan smiled faintly and didn't say anything, but simply refilled Gao Linghua's teacup.

Sonny was just too excited to see Fu Ziyan and blurted out what he had just said. He naturally realized what he had done and quickly apologized to Gao Linghua. Although he had a Western face, his words were like a gentle breeze.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot you were on a date. I apologize for disturbing you."

After Gao Linghua shook his head to indicate that it was alright and accepted the apology, Sunny looked at Fu Ziyan again and changed her words, saying, "Selene, I'm staying at the Guangzhou Hotel. Just send your assistant to let me know when you have time."

"it is good."

Sunny didn't disturb Fu Ziyan and Gao Linghua's dinner party any further, and left in a gentlemanly manner, coming and going in a hurry.

Gao Linghua, who now works at the Foreign Investment Management Committee, reacted quickly, looking up and smiling: "Sister Fu, is this international friend interested in investing in Guangdong?"

Fu Ziyan smiled.

After graduating from university, Gao Linghua joined her current company. Because she had invested a lot in mainland China, she had many opportunities to meet with Fu Ziyan in the past year. They also had a connection from their early acquaintance, so they got along very well. Fu Ziyan didn't hide it from her.

“Although Sunny’s NC Construction Company is headquartered in Macau, its business scope covers Southeast Asia. Sunny and I have known each other since we were young. Although we don’t see each other often, he is a good person. A couple of years ago, he talked to me about the future development of Zhuhai, and we had similar views.”

Gao Linghua's eyes lit up. Sister Fu's advice was very clear; she was practically telling her outright that this was a great opportunity for foreign investment.

She entered this unit as a college graduate, which seems to indicate a high level of education. However, there were two other people in the same cohort who were also college graduates. Promotion opportunities were limited, so if she could seize the opportunity to make an investment in Sunny, as mentioned by Sister Fu, she would have a better chance of making a contribution and getting promoted.

"Thank you, Sister Fu." Little sister Gao Linghua lived up to her reputation as the girl who had struck up a conversation with her and led the way to get some food back then. Her thanks were sincere and consistent. She immediately pushed the fruit platter that had just been served closer, her face saying, "Thank you, sister, please choose first."

Fu Ziyan smiled.

Although it was just a friendly, casual suggestion, who wouldn't appreciate a girl who reciprocates?

For this reason alone, it's worthwhile for Fu Ziyan to promote Ling Hua at the appropriate time and cultivate her personal connections.

“Sister Fu, you haven’t been here for a few months. Guangzhou has changed quite a bit. There’s a new small commodities market on Gaodi Street, and it’s quite popular. Would you like to go check it out, Sister Fu?” As a Hong Kong businesswoman, Fu Ziyan’s investments in the mainland were certainly not a waste. While Gao Linghua was catching up with old friends, he also brought up things that Fu Ziyan was interested in.

Fu Ziyan raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "A small commodities market?"

She didn't have this when she came to Guangzhou two months ago.

"It was formed spontaneously after the central government issued the 'Regulations on Individual Economy' last month."

Fu Ziyan was surprised by the speed at which this commodity market had formed, and smiled as she agreed, "Then let's go take a look."

She didn't have high expectations for the variety of goods, given that the market had only been around for a short time and that the planned economy hadn't been fully liberalized, resulting in limited productivity.

However, once the first step is taken, the second, third, fourth, and fifth steps are just around the corner. The small commodity market will flourish, and the Thirteen Factories will become the source of leading women's fashion in mainland China.
