and Mrs. Fu treated Shu Tinglan's house as their own, often dropping by for meals. 。Mrs. Fu's reasons were very valid; she couldn't stomach the dishes made by the other aunties at home. 。 。So every da..."I know," Han Li nodded.

After the old woman finished her story, she felt much better: "I'm getting old too. In a couple of years, when I close my eyes, I'll be gone. All I hope is that before I go, I can see him settled with a family, a wife and children. That's all I want."

Han Li still nodded, saying nothing.

During the two days he stayed in the county, he went to the government and had a meeting with relevant departments to discuss the tourism area planning. The other party was initially surprised: "Zhao said it was just a gimmick, and they haven't decided whether to develop it or not."

"This tourism project has nothing to do with Mr. Zhao, it is led by the Gu Group. The Gu Group has decided to invest a hundred million yuan, not only developing the tourist area but also helping you get rid of the title of poverty-stricken county year after year."

The day before returning to Linshui, I went back to the place where my parents used to live. Only when I got there did I realize that the entire area had been demolished and replaced with a new residential complex.

Totally unfamiliar streets and neighborhoods, where are the traces of those years

A leaky heart is like a breeze whistling through a hall, howling and boisterous.

The phone rang, it was Han Zhao Yi calling: "Mom, when are you coming back"

"I'll be back tomorrow."

Han Zhao Yi: “I went back to my grandma's house with my godmother today, Mom remember to come see me when you have time.”

"Okay."

Han Zhao Yi grew up in the care of her mother, but was not dependent on her. Because she received so much love, she did not resent her. The relationship between mother and son was stable, but not deep enough.

Many people ask successful women in the workplace how they balance family and career

Her answer was difficult. Even with more effort, it was hard to avoid giving something up in order to gain something else. Moreover, Han Zhaoyi's status made things even more complicated.

She is not a good mother, nor a good daughter.

The Gu family's tourism development project in the county is progressing rapidly. Although Han Li's design and planning for the scenic area are impressive on the surface, they lack practical execution. Therefore, the Gu family hired a professional team to further refine her initial work.

Zhao Tingxing returned to Senzhou from the capital city after about a month. Due to Zhang Ze's affair, he rarely paid attention to county matters until after his return, when he learned that the Gu family was truly planning to develop the local tourism industry.

He only then realized that he had been played by Gu Ruandong. He said, how could Gu Ruandong cooperate with him so easily to hype up the news He was just careless at the time.

Going back to the Senzhou, I sat in Gu's house, making things difficult for them.

"Young Gu, this is too underhanded of you."

Gu Ruandong was in a good mood today and even had the leisure to chat with him: "You've achieved your goal, haven't you That piece of land sold smoothly without losing money."

Zhao Tingxing snorted coldly: "If I knew that your Gushe Group would really develop the tourism industry, I'd keep it in my hands for a few years and double its price. It would be more fragrant than this, wouldn't it It's a bargain for that buyer."

As he spoke, his phone rang with a text message from Xu Ze Fang: "Zhao Zong, I yield."

He froze, then understood what it meant. He looked up at Gu Ruandong, incredulous: "The real buyer is Xu Zefang"

Gu Ruandong nodded. "Mm,"

No wonder the hell he was priced exactly what he had in mind at the time.

Zhao Tingxing gritted his teeth: "Are you all ganging up on me"

Gu Ruandong: "How can you say it's playing It's just a matter of each taking what they need. You made a smooth deal, and Da Fang just happened to want this piece of land."

"Did Han Li know about it too"

Gu Ruandong didn't answer the question, Han Li had guessed it a long time ago, he didn't know.

Zhao Tingxing was so angry his teeth ached, he barged into Gu Ruandong's office and shouted, "Han Li, get your butt in here!"

Han Li walked in from the secretary's office, standing politely and distantly: "Is there something you need"

His tone was even more calm, like a matter-of-fact official.

After all, in Gu Ruandong's office, Zhao Tingxing couldn't vent his anger, so he just looked at her: "You're good, you're really good, you even calculate me."

"It's just my work."

As for Gu Ruandong, he hated hearing other people's gossip. He said, "Zhao Zong, you can use the conference room next door. Please go out."

Han Li took the lead and walked out, going to the innermost conference room on this floor. Zhao Ting followed closely behind. The moment the two arrived, a playful gleam appeared in Zhao Ting's cold gaze as he looked up and down at Han Li.

Hàn Lì had changed since returning from the county. When she looked at Zhào Tíng Xíng, her eyes were calm: "I'll give you one last piece of advice, don't fight with Gù Ruǎn Dōng. You can't beat him."

Zhao Tingxing didn't mind. He had been fighting with Gu Ruandong for many years, and he enjoyed the challenge and excitement of it. This time, it was just his own complacency that led to this.

Han Li nodded and followed him.

As she was about to leave the meeting room, Zhao Tingxing pulled her back. He pretended to tear at her shirt again.

Whenever the two of them are alone together, his animalistic nature is unleashed at any moment.

This time, Han Li refused very firmly, grabbing his shirt to prevent him from touching her.

"Still putting on a show" Zhao Tingxing particularly wanted to tear apart her facade in public, to show everyone how dissolute she truly was behind closed doors.

Zhao Tingxing smiled: "Playing coy again Try something new."

Hàn Lì resisted the urge to lower his head and bite her neck, saying: "Grandma is getting old, she probably won't live for many more years. It wasn't easy for her to raise you, her only wish is for you to get married, have children, and find a companion. Given your circumstances, there are plenty of women who would want to have children with you. You should fulfill her wish and don't regret it later. In this world, she is your only relative."

Zhao Tingxing looked up from her shoulder, into her eyes which were filled with seriousness. He straightened up and said: "You're really freaking annoying, you think you have the right to lecture me"

Then, he tidied up his clothes, flung the office door open and left.

Just stepping out of the meeting room and into the corridor, I bumped into Lu Yaoyao who had come to the company to see Gu Ruandong. She looked more charming than before her pregnancy, but she was still as cute as ever. Seeing me, she smiled openly: "Are you here to see Gu Ruandong or Secretary Han"

Zhaoting Xing's earlier sullenness in the conference room suddenly dissipated, and he smiled: "Nobody is looking."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, there was nothing to say, she walked straight past him and went to Gu Ruandong's office. The two had made an appointment to have lunch together today.

Gu Ruandong saw her coming and immediately tossed the file in his hand aside, smiling at her: "Here so early Not off work yet"

"Does Mr. Gu also need to leave work on time Can't he be special"

Well, Mr. Gu should lead by example and clock out on time. However, Mrs. Gu has privileges, so we can't make Mrs. Gu wait.

As he spoke, he got up and took the person out, with about an hour left before lunchtime.

But Lu Yaoyao had no burden. It was rare for him to be free today and accompany her out for lunch, so what if she left an hour earlier

After Gu Ruandong's marriage, his daily routine became very regular. Apart from needing to travel to various branch offices each month, the rest of the time he lived a typical nine-to-five office worker's life.

Besides unavoidable business dinners, he declined all other invitations. He presented himself as a model husband and gentleman.

Those days of carefree indulgence, waking up every day in some unknown place, seem like a distant memory now.rings, Shu Tinglan's cold voice came through."Hello!""Shushu, it's me!" Hearing the familiar voice after so long, Lin Zhifei's nose immediately stung with tears.Shu Tinglan was getting on the plane to...
