Chapter 338 Show More Care
Despite being true.
Yun Ruolin maintained her smile, because common-law marriages had been abolished in 1994.
Unmarried couples are nothing special.
"I'm sure you've seen it on TV: there's a wider and more wonderful world outside. The economic development here is ten years behind other provinces, so it's not suitable for starting a business."
“Cheng is like a dragon trapped in shallow waters here; his business talents are useless here. The outside world is more suitable for him and where he can realize his great ambitions.”
Bai Lu said calmly, "Who said this is a shallow beach?"
"Where Xiao Cheng is, there is no such thing as a shallow beach; the electronics stores in the city are the best proof of that."
Yun Ruolin slightly raised her eyes: "Little Pingcheng."
Bai Lu remained humble and composed, saying, "Even a small city like Pingcheng can generate a fortune every day."
Yun Ruolin glanced at her: "Your vision is too narrow."
Bai Lu remained calm and composed, saying, "Nanshi has quite a scale. I wonder how Miss Yun's market research is going? You have time to come to Xinzhen so soon to visit me and Acheng and show us some hospitality."
Having learned through repeated battles, Yun Ruolin had become accustomed to Bai Lu's way of speaking, and remained calm even when rebuked.
His tone was normal: "I have already completed my duties. There are still some things I don't understand, and I need to ask Brother Cheng for some advice."
"After all, Brother Cheng's electronics store is located in Pingcheng. If our company expands into Nanshi, it will be closely related to him, and the operating rights may be selected from locals."
Bai Lu showed no joy or resignation at the uncertain "possibility".
His tone was distant: "He's busy with other business lately, so he might not have time to guide you."
Yun Ruolin had already inquired about what kind of work Xiao Cheng was busy with before she arrived.
Minor matters stay at home, but major events travel a thousand miles.
"My father and I know quite a few people about the fruit market in Guangdong Province, as well as the managers of processing plants."
Bai Lu rejected this olive branch with ulterior motives: "Acheng has his own ideas."
Seeing that she didn't know the importance of things, Yun Ruolin bluntly said, "The most important thing in doing business is personal connections."
Bai Lu nodded slightly, indicating her agreement but not adding anything further: "Acheng is currently dealing with personal connections and resources."
An unimportant olive branch is better left unsaid.
Yun Ruolin pursed her lips: "Having more friends makes life easier."
Bai Lu smiled faintly: "Friends with clear minds can cooperate, but friends who need guidance on every little thing will only hold us back."
Sunlight streamed through the parasol, falling on Yun Ruolin's hand that gripped the handle tightly, revealing her clenched, white fingertips.
If Yun Ruolin wasn't entirely certain before, she was now 100% certain that Bai Lu had been reborn.
Moreover, after Bai Lu fell into the river in her previous life, she probably didn't die and likely had some extraordinary encounter.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a clear mind now, and I wouldn't have completely shed my past foolishness and cowardice.
Bai Lu noticed Yun Ruolin's subtle scrutinizing gaze and could guess what the other was thinking.
There is no intention to cover it up or explain it.
The original owner of this body and her personality were completely different.
Things started to change after she arrived; it was inevitable. She couldn't continue pretending to be naive and innocent; she had her own nature and wanted to live her own life.
The neighbors in the town all knew about her changes, and Yun Ruolin could easily find out by asking around.
Pretending to be stupid is pointless; being watched like a clown is not her style.
After Yun Ruolin left.
Xiao Wei ran over, holding a water cup that had been exposed to the sun for a long time: "Sister-in-law, the sun is so strong, come and drink some water to quench your thirst."
Bai Lu touched the little guy's feverish head, took the water and drank it, then gently reminded him.
"It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree."
Xiao Wei was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice with a sense of helplessness, "It's the sun shining through the leaves... Sister-in-law, let's go home and plant some vegetables."
"OK."
Bai Lu put her hand on the little guy's head to shield him from the scorching sun as they headed home: "The vegetable seeds I bought yesterday weren't enough, so I'll go to the market to buy some more, and also buy some vegetables for tonight."
What would you like to eat?
"Anything is fine." The little cutie had no preference.
Bai Lu chuckled, "Alright, then we'll make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast and wait for your brother to come home so we can eat together."
"Okay! Good!"
...
A tea room is a good place to discuss work.
Quiet, highly private, and client privacy is guaranteed; no one will know what you discuss.
Whether it's accepting bribes or cultivating relationships, it can all be summed up in the phrase "discussing work."
Today's tea party was arranged by Jiang Zhengang. Traveling by water, it's inevitable to have contact with relevant people, so organizing a gathering is a piece of cake.
Besides Jiang Zhengang and Xiao Cheng, the people sitting at the same table were two public officials from the water resources department.
Please take care of me in the future.
"Definitely, definitely, Brother Cheng, we'll look after each other."
The gifts have been given, the necessary things have been said, and the formal tea has been finished; it's time for those who shouldn't linger to leave.
Xiao Cheng and Jiang Zhengang escorted the person to the entrance of the teahouse.
Under the sunlight, a taxi slowly pulled up, and two public officials got in one after the other.
"Brother Cheng and Brother Gang, please wait a moment. Let's get together again next time. We have work to do today, so we'll be going now."
"The sun is strong, you should go back."
Take care.
"Bon Voyage."
The taxi drove away from the busy area.
Conversation only began to break out inside the car.
"Why is Xiao Cheng still developing his career in Pingcheng? I always thought that after he left the big boss's organization, he completely stopped and went to other places to build his career." Zheng Wen was very surprised.
"The key issue is still the export trade of fruit, which requires shipping by water. Isn't this going against the big boss and Li Chengbin? And what about the five major buyers in Nanshi? I really don't know what he's thinking..."
"What he thinks isn't important; what's important is that we're now caught in the middle, in a dilemma." Li Huazhi felt like he'd been led into a trap.
Zheng Wen shrugged: "What else can we do?"
“They’ve paid the fee, so we can’t just stop them from leaving. We’ll just let them go. If the big boss and Li Chengbin have any objections, let them fight it out themselves.”
“I don’t think Xiao Cheng would be one to suffer a loss. Last time, Li Chengbin’s men clashed with the big boss’s men at the dock, I have my suspicions…”
"That's enough. Let's mind our own business and just stand by and watch."
"What if the city gate catches fire and the innocent bystanders are caught in the crossfire..."
"He won't die. Liu Zhenguo's side has been making moves lately, so let's gather more information and prepare for the worst..."
The teahouse is still open.
The aroma of tea filled the air, and wisps of steam rose from the tea leaves.
"Are you really planning to settle down and build a career in Pingcheng?"
Jiang Zhengang finished washing the tea, poured a cup for Xiao Cheng, and filled his own cup as well.
He thought the cedarwood he received last time was Xiao Cheng's startup fund in the south, but he never expected it to be the Liucheng Fund.
That was unexpected.
Xiao Cheng seemed lost in thought, his fingers tightening around the teacup. After a long pause, he finally said, "Home is here."
Seeing that he looked dazed and was no longer as wise and calm as when they were talking, Jiang Zhengang assumed that he was worried about the progress of the matter and comforted him, "Don't worry, it has been a common practice to accept gifts to get things done since ancient times, no matter what industry you are in."
"Getting through the gate is definitely not a problem, but what about the big boss and Li Chengbin? Are you prepared?"
