Zhang Yufa was about to faint, and he was bleeding profusely. He could no longer hold on.
Lin Ruolan finally regained her composure and quickly persuaded her.
"President Zhang, please get up first and talk later. We have something to discuss."
Zhang Yufa felt helpless. How could he negotiate this? At this point, only the bitter trick could bring him a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Lin, if you don't agree, I won't get up."
Zhang Yufa is showing off his old face, his life is almost gone, so what's the use of having face.
A dignified president, respected by thousands of people, with unlimited fame in Nancheng, is now begging for a weak woman.
Lin Ruolan couldn't understand this weird scene, and finally gave in.
"Okay, I promise you, but..."
"Thank you, thank you. On behalf of my family and my nephew's family, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. I will never forget it."
Zhang Yufa stood up unsteadily, feeling dizzy, wiping the blood on his forehead with a sad face.
Lin Ruolan was flattered, but still confused.
"That President Zhang, why on earth, what's wrong with you?"
"You, you can ask Jiang Nan. I'm leaving. If you need anything, call me. The contract will be sent to you later."
Zhang Yufa immediately gave him his business card and ran out in a panic.
He wished that the wind would blow under his feet, grow ten legs, and disappear from here immediately.
This place is too dangerous and you should not stay for a long time, otherwise you will die at any time and you don’t know how.
Bai Wenbo was already hemiplegic. When he was carried away, he only breathed his last breath. He didn't know whether he could be saved.
Lin Ruolan walked out in a daze, still a little undigested.
Just now, she had been asking Bai Wenbo cautiously, dealing with him in various ways and even saying nice things. It was inevitable that she would act on the occasion.
But now, she actually took the initiative in an instant.
There were so many people vying for this project, but she actually took it for herself without any effort.
However, she was not happy.
I always feel that these things don’t belong to me and came from something strange.
"Mom, come on, we are going home."
Lin Ke'er's childish voice came, and Lin Ruolan calmed down a little.
Lin Ruolan went over and reached out to hug her daughter, but the little girl lay in Jiang Nan's arms and refused to come out.
"I have something to tell you." Lin Ruolan was as cold as ice.
Jiang Nan nodded, "Ke'er, go play in the car for a while, dad and mom have something to do."
Lin Keer went there very obediently.
Lin Ruolan stared at Jiangnan, suddenly unable to see through this once-familiar man.
"What happened just now? Can you explain it?"
"It's nothing, it's all trivial." Jiang Nan smiled lightly.
Lin Ruolan became more and more curious and suspicious.
"It's a small thing. Isn't this a small thing? That's the president of the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce. He's a big-shot figure in our industry. Now he's begging me to take over that hot project. You know, how many people want it. He asked me
Asking you."
"It's really nothing." Jiang Nan shrugged.
Lin Ruolan was a little angry.
"If you don't tell the truth, I now wonder if you are threatening others. Did you take action? Don't forget the mistakes you made and make them again."
A hint of helplessness flashed between Jiang Nan's brows, and he hesitated for a moment.
"Actually, I have a friend who works in the province. In terms of official position, he is higher than Zhang Yufa. He naturally wants to give you face, right, so he gave you the project. It happens that your company also needs it."
Lin Ruolan was dubious: "You have such a friend, how could I not know about it?"
She knew very well about Jiangnan's past.
The two were not only classmates but also lovers. Everyone they knew was familiar with each other.
In her impression, Jiang Nan didn't know such a powerful person.
"Can you just pretend that we met in prison?" Jiang Nan smiled bitterly.
"Tch, with that kind of status, why are you going to jail?" Lin Ruolan shook her head.
"Speech education, there happened to be a competition, and I came first and was interviewed by that person. He thought I was pretty good, so I only exchanged letters and phone calls occasionally, that's all."
Jiang Nan found it difficult to continue fabricating this white lie.
Even so, Lin Ruolan didn't really believe it.
"That person is also strange. He actually made friends with a person in prison. Do you still keep in touch? If you have time, can you invite this friend to come out and meet him? I would like to express my gratitude."
Jiang Nan coughed a few times. He was not good at lying, so he had to use a simple and direct method.
"How could that be possible? Of course someone with that status wouldn't remember a little person like me. I just mentioned his name on purpose to scare him. Who knew Zhang Yufa was so greedy for life and afraid of death? He must have been scared."
Although this reason was far-fetched, it was true, and Lin Ruolan reluctantly believed it.
And I don’t really want to ask any more questions.
She was a little tired from today's farce.
Fortunately, the result is good and unexpected.
"Go back."
Lin Ruolan went over to hold her daughter.
"If you drink, I'll give you a drink."
Jiangnan has already opened the car door.
Lin Ruolan wanted to refuse, but Lin Keer refused to leave.
"Okay, okay, we're going home."
She clapped her happy little hands and smiled happily. Lin Ruolan no longer refused.
Driving in Jiangnan, it just started.
"I've moved and won't live there anymore."
Lin Ruolan's words were like a sharp blade flashing past.
Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment and looked at her in the rearview mirror.
"Why?"
"Don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself. Over the years, moving has become a common occurrence. There's nothing to say."
Lin Ruolan sighed, the melancholy between her brows was like a thick fog that could not be cleared away.
Without a fixed place to live, peace is already the greatest luxury.
She could ignore the rumors caused by Jiangnan over the years, but they were harmful to her daughter's growth.
There is no other way but to avoid it.
And Jiang Nan's sudden appearance once again disrupted her originally arranged life rhythm.
Let those rumors get louder and more harsh and unpleasant.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Nan's face was moved, stars flashing in his eyes.
"I don't think it's hard, but Ke'er is still young. She is the one I feel most sorry for."
Lin Ruolan gently touched the little girl's hair, feeling tender and misty with tears.
"Never again, never again."
When the car started driving, Jiangnan drove smoothly.
After arriving at the new place, Lin Keer had already fallen asleep.
Jiang Nan was about to get out of the car and hug Lin Keer, but Lin Ruolan refused.
"If you want us to be more peaceful, come less often. I don't want others to gossip anymore. I've really had enough."
Jiang Nan was silent, letting go of his daughter, gently caressing her pink cheek, and reluctantly let go.
He stood in the night, watching Lin Ruolan struggling to hold Lin Keer, and said softly: "Lan, will you go to the class reunion tomorrow?"
