Chapter 273 The Promise With Lian Ruohan
Chapter 273: Agree with Lian Ruohan
"As I grew up, I hated my father more and more. Perhaps the hatred was mixed with dissatisfaction with not getting fatherly love. In short, it was a mixture of love and hate. I swear in my heart that I only belong to myself, not to anyone, not to my father and mother, and not to my family. So I started doing business since high school, and gradually became bigger and bigger. When I graduated from college, I established Vision Group."
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I graduated from college, the family wanted to arrange marriage for me on the grounds of political marriage. I have no sense of identity with the family, and even my parents are just a vague shadow in my mind. What can the family be? So I rejected their arrangement. They were very dissatisfied and asked my father to call me to put pressure on me. I only asked my father three words: Tell me why you and my mother divorced? Tell me whether you have loved me in so many years? Tell me when you abandoned me alone in the capital for your love and career, do you feel a little guilty? After asking three words, he hung up the phone without saying a word, and never dared to call me again!"
Unexpectedly, Lian Ruohan had such a sad past, Xia Xiang hugged her tighter, and felt pity in her heart. It was really not easy for her to be alone, no wonder she was stubborn and willful when she first met her in Ba County.
How powerful is the Lian Ruohan family? Although she said it briefly, Xia Xiang was still unsure. With Lian Ruohan's age, it was normal for her father to be at the provincial and ministerial level. The main reason is that the old man is who is? It is estimated that the old man's influence should be a terrifying existence. Xia Xiang dared not guess.
"But they still didn't let me go and tried every means to force me to agree. In a fit of anger, I handed over the company to someone else to take care of it. I ran far away by myself, one was to relax and the other was to avoid their entanglement. It was at that time that I unfortunately met you." There was something crystal clear in Lian Ruohan's eyes flashing, and she looked at Xia Xiang with a slight smile, a little strange and happy. "I only know now that compared to the misfortunes before, meeting you is the greatest misfortune in my life!"
Xia Xiang reached out and grabbed her ear: "I am so good? I don't know that I am so powerful."
"Go, I'm still behaved when I get the cheap. If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to where I am today?" Lian Ruohan punched Xia Xiang firmly in the chest, but she didn't make a grudge. She raised her leg and kicked him, and then said, "Why are you doing well? You have to provoke me? I'm not going up or down now, and you don't marry me. What do you want me to do?"
After hearing Lian Ruohan's words, Xia Xiang suddenly figured out a question: "As soon as you said, it seems that the influence of the family on you is very limited. Then you used to talk about the pressure of the family and say that if I don't marry you, you will not be able to be with me, and the family will try every means to persecute you... Is it true or false?"
"Are you really stupid or are you intentionally angry?" Lian Ruohan said dissatisfiedly, "The family's influence on me is limited, but some of them are ways to force you to submit, and some of them are ways to make your future bleak. As long as they find out you exist... Of course, I am not stupid either. As a woman, who doesn't want to be with the open land of her love, I also want to use some real and false methods to make you decide to marry me."
Lian Ruohan boldly said the truth, staring at Xia Xiang intently, waiting for him to answer.
"I just regret that we met one step later. If I let down the girl in Nai now and marry you, you can imagine how sad she would be? Will she do something stupid?" Xia Xiang held Lian Ruohan in his arms again, knowing that she was thinking, being petty, or deliberately forcing him to marry her. From her perspective, it is understandable, "Bai Nai is weaker than you, far stronger than you, and I can't even imagine hurting her."
Lian Ruohan said softly: "I understand, I don't have the right to snatch you from her. If someone else was changed, I would definitely be unwilling to accept it, but I can't bear to hurt her as a girl. She is so kind and so pitiful..." Suddenly, she smiled lightly again and broke free from Xia Xiang's arms, "I'm thinking about it now."
"What are you thinking about?"
"If you don't tell you, you can guess it yourself."
"I can't guess!"
"If you can't guess, just hold it in, and you will feel uncomfortable."
“…”
"Qiu Xufeng's ex-fiancee is Mei Xiaolin."
"I already know, well, I just knew it."
"Then how do you feel about Qiu Xufeng?" Xia Xiang asked with a nervous look on his face.
"I think it's pretty good. I'm fair and clean. I wear glasses, speak politely, walk lightly, and look like a good person." Lian Ruohan deliberately pissed Xia Xiang, and even replied with dissatisfaction, "Marrying him is not a big loss, right?"
"What is it?" Xia Xiang was angry and said with a taste of taste, "Qiu Xufeng's face was fair. If he was younger, he looked like a slut, and if he was older, he was a traitor and evil person. Now he looked like a father-in-law, no matter how he looked."
"Father-in-law?" Lian Ruohan was stunned, and then punched Xia Xiang happily, "You are too bad. This is the first time I have heard you curse like this! Do you really care about me?"
"Of course I care, you are the person I care about the most in my life..." Xia Xiang swallowed "one" back and coaxed girls, sometimes he still needed to tell some lies.
Lian Ruohan was moved, and she grabbed Xia Xiang's hand: "I know you didn't tell the truth, but it doesn't matter, I'm already very content. You don't have to worry about Qiu Xufeng's affairs. You should do whatever you want, don't worry about him. I am not Mei Xiaolin, and I don't have any sense of belonging to the family. I'm so anxious that I can go abroad."
When talking about foreign countries, Xia Xiang suddenly had an idea: "If you have any relationship, you should take a foreign nationality. It is convenient to do business in China or do other things in the future."
"This is a good idea. I will think of a solution. How about you say I am a US citizen?" Lian Ruohan really listened to Xia Xiang's words. As soon as he said it, she was moved.
"Although the American people are more realistic and are an evil capitalist country, I am not relieved to let our Ruohan go there. But thinking about Ruohan's ability and character, he will not suffer any losses when he goes to the United States. He is just pretending to help the American people make progress."
Xia Xiang's words made Lian Ruohan amused. She bit her lips, her eyes were full of charming eyes, and she leaned into Xia Xiang's ear and said something.
Xia Xiang was stunned on the spot for a while, and after a long time of reaction, she said in disbelief: "Really?"
"Of course it's true? But I have two other conditions..." Lian Ruohan continued to show her charming and delicate side, which made Xia Xiang feel itchy.
"What conditions?" Xia Xiang asked anxiously.
"I won't tell you for now, I'll talk about it later."
Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly: "You are becoming more and more evil now, and I can't cure you."
"I'm not your wife, you don't want to cure me in this life!" Lian Ruoruo said almost gritting his teeth. It can be seen that she was always worried about Xia Xiang's inability to marry her.
In the afternoon, Shanda came to accompany Lian Ruohan again and introduced some preferential policies in detail. He said that Lian Ruohan just listened and did not express his opinions. Since Xia Xiang said that he wanted Dacai Group to invest, she stopped investing in An County, especially when Xia wanted to know that the Wu family wanted to marry the Qiu family, she did not allow her to come to An County more.
Don’t say that Xia Xiangyi was nervous, even Ruohan was a little proud. Women liked to be cared about by the people they like. Xia Xiang’s nervousness and stinginess showed that he was indeed jealous.
Xia Want to be jealous, but he still has to do the business. He hid in another room and discussed the senior management's questions with Mr. Gao. When the discussion was in full swing, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Gao, if one day I suddenly discovered that someone I have always respected, he secretly did something that I am sorry for me, how should I face it?"
The smile on Old Gao's face froze. His eyes looked at Xia Xiang for a long time without blinking, and suddenly he smiled meaningfully again: "My friend, what you mean is that I am disrespectful to Old Man and secretly informed the family?"
"I dare not blame Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao is respectful. I am not qualified to say that you are not." Xia Xiang said politely, but his tone was not so respectful. He has always been kind to interact with others and rarely turned against others in person. But he also has a bottom line, and Cao Shugui and Lian Ruohan are the bottom limits that he cannot reach.
Old Gao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia, I always thought you were mature and steady, and I had no blood or impulse. I didn't expect that I could see you when you lose your composure today? Haha, it made me feel that you are a living person. A young man, who was angry with the beauty and showed his true nature..."
After laughing, Mr. Gao changed his face again: "I am old and have a design background. I have no desire for power. Without desire, there is nothing to restrict me. Moreover, I am not in the family. Although I am not qualified to participate in major decisions, I still have a little weight in speaking. However, I have an advantage and don't like to talk, so they respect me, the old man, and feel relieved. They asked me to report Ruohan's whereabouts regularly, especially her emotional problems. I was unwilling to do so, but in order to come to Yan City to take a look and leave my own work in this emerging city, I reluctantly agreed."
Xia Xiang heard Mr. Gao personally admit that he did monitor Lian Ruohan, and he didn't know what it felt like.
Mr. Gao continued: "To be honest, I like Ruohan very much. He is willful but has principles. He is strong, but he actually has a weak side. Although she has received a lot of favor from the family since she was a child, she is still out of place with them. I watched her grow up and always treat her like her daughter. I only have one expectation for her, which is to hope that she can be happy, do what she wants to do, and like the person she wants to like, even if that person can't marry him."
Xia Xiang lowered his head, and Old Gao looked like a spear. He had long seen the emotional entanglement between him and Lian Ruohan, and also knew that he had chosen Cao Shuyan.
Seeing Xia’s thoughts, Mr. Gao laughed: “Don’t be ashamed. For thousands of years, men have been married and four concubines. Now they have only been a couple for decades. It’s not that easy to make men honest at once! I’m not an old antique. I know some things very well. If I don’t say them, it doesn’t mean I don’t know. Of course, I still have to report to the family about Ruohan. If I don’t report them, they may send others to me. Every time I report, I only have two words: Normal, even if they don’t believe it, they dare not ask me more. Humph, they are still younger generations in front of me. If they want to question me, they must be qualified!”
Old Gao was like an old child, with a smirk of a conspiracy and said, "How is it, my old friend, is it still competent? Do you still have any objections to me?"
"It's gone." Xia Xiang was convinced. Compared with Mr. Gao's childish innocence, he found that he was still a little tender and had to admit defeat. "I'm sorry Mr. Gao, I blame you wrongly."
"If you don't come forward to question Ruohan, I will look down on you." Old Gao stretched out his hand and hit Xia Xiang on his head, "But I have to hit you. Who made you lose a lot of money? Ruohan's good daughter follows you. You must be kind to her in the future, otherwise I will also cause trouble for you."
Xia wanted to rub his head and smiled foolishly: "I've recorded it, Mr. Gao."
"Okay, after talking about nothing, let's continue to discuss the main business - do you think there will be a market for high-rise buildings with more than 30 floors in Yan City at this stage?" Gao Laoyi discussed real estate and planning, and it was almost a moment. Xia Xiang was also troubled by him, but he had to cheer up. Who asked Lao Gao to hide the truth for him and Lian Ruohan?
Because of Mr. Gao, Yuanjing Group, which originally said that she would go back in the afternoon, waited until the evening to leave. Shanda was busy and busy, and was full of joy that Yuanjing Group would invest in it. When Lian Ruohan left, she insisted on pulling Xia Xiang to have dinner together, trying to find out from his mouth.
Xia Xiang couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he had dinner with him and told him not to worry. Vision Group was going to intervene in Anxian's resorts with high profile. Other developers would definitely have ideas. Then compare a few more and decide which one should be the best.
Although Shanda felt that Vision Group was the best choice, since Xia Xiang said that, he looked confident and didn't want to say anything else, he said: "I will propose to County Mayor Qiu tomorrow to let Lao Yang rest. He is a little confused now."
"Farewell, I will focus on Secretary Li, and I will run errands for you at the same time, so I won't be able to do this." Xia thought about it. Now Qiu Xufeng must have known that he and Lian Ruohan have a close relationship. He must be extremely unhappy. There is no need to take the initiative to find trouble now.
Shanda understood that Xia Xiang was not responsible for his contributions. He was moved to think about him. He patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xia, I will always remember it for you this time. I will never treat you badly in the future."
Under Xia Xiang's operation, two days later, Tian'an Real Estate CEO Sun Xianwei came to An County to inspect the resort project and expressed his strong interest in the project. Those who came with Tian'an Real Estate were reporters from newspapers at both provincial and municipal levels, as well as municipal TV stations and reporters. Xia Xiang was very satisfied with Sun Xianwei's style of doing things.
After Tianan Real Estate left, it was a small publicity in a small area in Yan City. Although the impact was not great, An County still attracted the attention of countless people due to the intervention of the Vision Group. Many Yan City citizens turned their attention to An County, which is more than 70 kilometers west of Yan City, and were speculating, why did An County become a celebrity county at once?
In fact, in the officialdom, An County has long become a celebrity county because of three young deputy county-level and above leaders. However, the focus of ordinary citizens is obviously different from that of officials. What they are more interested in is some of the eye-catching actions of An County, because everyone is familiar with Vision Group and has a small impression of Tianan Real Estate. Because everyone wants to eat vegetables, the Shilipu Vegetable Wholesale Market is a masterpiece of Tianan Real Estate, and many people have heard of it. Therefore, with the influence of Vision Group and Tianan Real Estate, An County's popularity has increased greatly.
Yan City Government, Mayor's Office.
Chen Feng saw the newspaper report and said to Jiang Tian with a smile: "It goes without saying that it is Xiao Xia's work. Why do you think of this Xiao Xia so many ideas? You can always come up with unexpected solutions, and some methods don't seem surprising, but if you think about it carefully, there are always some wonderful things in his method. He can always use his strength to fight for strength, and he can count them at one stroke. I really admire his brain for being very useful."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "County Magistrate Xia has the ability and outstanding business vision. No matter where he goes, he will make a difference."
Chen Feng looked at Jiang Tian a few times and suddenly asked, "Jiang Tian, you have been with me for a long time. Do you have any idea of letting me go out?"
"Mayor Chen, I..." Jiang Tian suddenly became excited, rubbed his hands, looking a little helpless, "I am reluctant to leave the old leader."
Chen Feng waved his hand: "I have to leave even if I don't want to. I don't want to let you go. After all, it's not easy to find a qualified secretary, but it can't delay your future. If the county magistrate of Jing County is transferred, you can go to Jing County to be a county magistrate. How about it?"
"I..." Jiang Tian blushed. He had always hoped to be in charge of the country and be the master of the country. He no longer followed the leader. Whether it was a big follower or a small follower, he was a follower. He didn't expect that the opportunity would come at once, which made him mentally prepared. Moreover, Chen Feng's words really touched him a little. He also said incoherently, "Thank you for your cultivation, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Jiang Tian's performance made Chen Feng quite satisfied. For some reason, he remembered Xia Xiang again, and his slightly cunning and sincere smile. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his words and actions were pleasing, and he always made you feel comfortable in his heart. However, when he thought of Xia Xiang for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. This Xiao Xia said that he could do things and was very good at doing things, and said that he couldn't do things. Don't say that he came to see him for so long, and he didn't even have a phone call. Isn't that too unreasonable?
Xia Xiang naturally didn't know about Chen Feng's dissatisfaction, but he also knew that he had not contacted Chen Feng for a while, and he knew that he had done something wrong. It was not that he didn't want to see Chen Feng, nor was he unwilling to call him, but he always felt that he could not find a suitable reason. Xia Xiang believed that he owed Chen Feng a lot and had done a lot of things recently, but they had nothing to do with Chen Feng. He always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Chen Feng and talk about his views on the situation in Yan Province.
