Chapter 54 - Dilemma II
Chapter 54 – Dilemma II
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Xiong Ruogang blinked. "Actually, it doesn't matter if we can't live in that house anymore. My parents just don't want it demolished."
Her face suddenly turned bitter. "But, what's the point for saying that? The developers had decided it. The higher-ups have already issued a notice that demolition work will begin next week."
Jiang Ruolan frowned and sighed. She patted Xiong Ruogang on the shoulder as if to calm her down. She was about to return to her desk when she (Xiong Ruogang) called her again. "Right, Sister Jiang!"
Xiong Ruogang stood up and hurried towards Jiang Ruolan with both hands supporting her on the desk and a pair of big eyes shining under the glasses. "Aren't you Xian Zihao's wife? What if you help me? As you said, it's good to turn that street into a beautiful place. Please don't let it get ruined. You just need to mention this to President Xian! Can you do that? I heard from the developer that one of their investors is Xian Group!"
Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched.
Blowing against the pillow? ¹
This girl really knew how to imagine.
She couldn't help but laugh. "How can it be as easy as you say?"
"But Xian Group is the big boss for the land industry in H City. Although the problem is not entirely under the jurisdiction of investors, if he intervenes, no one dares to violate his orders!"
"Besides, Sister Jiang, you also say that if the street becomes a tourist attraction, it will be a good thing for H City. Tourism development will also be profitable. I was just thinking of asking for your help because of your words. Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to bother you."
"What bother? The two of us are on such good terms. If you keep using such a tone, I will kick your ass." Jiang Ruolan glared at her.
Xiong Ruogang immediately leaned back against her desk with a mischievous smile. "Sister Jiang, please. Please help me."
"I …" Jiang Ruolan paused.
She did want to help, but her husband had disappeared for two full months. Although she wanted to help her, the problem now was how can she find Xian Zihao?!
Seeing Xiong Ruogang's anxiousness, Jiang Ruolan couldn't bear to refuse. She nodded her head helplessly.
"Sister Jiang! You're the best!" Xiong Ruogang suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her.
Jiang Ruolan immediately pushed her away and looked at her with disgust. " Xiong Ruogang! You little pervert!"
Xiong Ruogang playfully stuck out her tongue. She then took two vouchers from her bag and placed them on the table. "Sister Jiang, I have two vouchers here. As a token of gratitude, I will treat you a meal at the newly opened Italian restaurant on Beidou Avenue!"
Jiang Ruolan looked at the coupon that was costing no less than a thousand yuan. "You bastard, you're not even sincere treating me to dinner ~"
Xiong Ruogang blinked her eyes. "Xiong Family lacks money! Shouldn't you give me a face? Do you want to accompany me or not?"
"Since it's free, there's no reason for me to turn it down!" Jiang Ruolan grinned as she pushed her (Xiong Ruogang) with her hand. "Go! Get back to work. Stop bothering me."
Xiong Ruogang laughed as she returned the voucher to her pocket. She sat back at her desk.
Jiang Ruolan was anxious.
She did not know how to tell this issue to Xian Zihao.
