He was quite curious about it, too.
Given that the Capital isn't too far from Xilin, and with both communication methods and transportation being so convenient now, plus him showing great sincerity, he really couldn't understand why Xu Changshu could refuse so directly without any hesitation.

Even though networks are well-developed now, and there are products like artificial intelligence which is almost considered godsend, how should I put this, Qiao Ze really does play favorites.
