Jian Ruoxi looked at Li Rou hiding behind Lu Shen and blurted out, "I have never seen such a shameless person in my life, sticking to Lu Shen's side every day."
Having just finished berating Li Rou, before Lu Shen could even speak, Jian Ruoxi continued to berate him: "You're no better. Keeping this woman around will only lead to trouble sooner or later. You can't even tell the truth."
After saying that, she stormed upstairs in a huff, and that night the two of them slept in separate rooms, ignoring each other.
The two continued working as usual. Jian Ruoxi went to the filming location to meet Su Ziyu.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Su Ziyu had formulated a relatively complete plan. He handed the plan to Jian Ruoxi: "Take a quick look at it first. This is something I had someone do. It includes the address of the Hope Primary School, financial proof, and government support."
Jian Ruoxi was very impressed with his efficiency: "You did it so fast, while I've only just started and haven't even contacted anyone yet."
In fact, Su Ziyu knew that Jian Ruoxi would be sleepy after becoming pregnant, and he didn't want her to worry about too much activity, so he had been working overtime all night for the past few days.
However, on the surface, he always remained calm and composed, saying, "This kind of thing is simple; just find a professional team to do it."
Jian Ruoxi responded, "Isn't this address a bit remote? When I was chatting with Aunt Zhang a while ago, I heard that many people have moved away from the west end of their village, and now the east side is a densely populated area."
"However, the location of the Hope Primary School is somewhat close to the west."
Su Ziyu explained, "If we build it in the middle, it will be their main road, which could cause car accidents. Also, the large flow of people during school hours could cause traffic jams."
The two discussed the address of the Hope Primary School for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion, so they had to call in Brother Wang from the professional team.
Upon hearing their concerns, Brother Wang quickly decided: "Let's set the location closer to the main road."
“You city folks don’t understand anything. Although it’s close to the main road, there won’t be any traffic jams. Everyone will ride electric scooters to pick up their kids. It’s convenient to go home if it’s close to the main road, and the kids are less likely to get lost.”
Once the site selection was completed, construction of the Hope Primary School began immediately.
But unexpectedly, as soon as construction began, while all the foremen and workers were working hard, a man stepped forward and shouted at the crowd: "What are you doing? What are you doing? It's so noisy!"
When the workers saw the man, they all lowered their tools and dared not speak.
The man strode up aggressively and said, "My house is right next door. If you want to work, go somewhere else."
The man was Chen Hu, a local bully who, relying on his large landholdings and high income, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the village.
If there's anything he doesn't like, he'll take advantage of his uncle's influence to arbitrarily alter it; his uncle has quite a powerful background.
The village was supposed to build a public toilet, but one day Chen Hu passed by the toilet and smelled a strong odor, so he sent people to smash it up.
But no one dared to speak up. This toilet was the only way between the village and the crops. If anyone needed to relieve themselves, they would do so here, otherwise they would have to squat by the roadside.
Chen Hu didn't consider these things. His family could afford to hire workers and have machines, so he didn't need to go to the fields to harvest the crops himself.
The workers then found the person in charge, Jian Ruoxi, and cried out, "Miss Jian, please help us! The primary school is finally about to be built, but the village bully Chen Hu is blocking our construction."
When Jian Ruoxi learned of this, she decided to step in, but her partner, Su Ziyu, had gone abroad during this time.
A fashion week invited Song Ziyu, as it was an international brand that could enhance its influence, so Ziyu accepted the invitation.
This task fell to Jian Ruoxi, a frail woman who personally went to the village to find Chen Hu.
Chen Hu stared blankly at the beautiful woman. He had never seen anyone so beautiful in his life. She had fair skin, a pretty face, and jet-black hair.
His underling whispered in his ear, "Brother, I heard this investor is a big star."
Chen Hu got excited as soon as he heard about big stars. Big stars are rich; they can earn more from making one movie than an average person earns in a year.
He walked up to Jian Ruoxi and smelled her scent, which was quite lewd.
Jian Ruoxi felt a little uncomfortable and took two steps back: "Sir, please have some self-respect."
"I came to see you to discuss the construction of the Hope Primary School."
Chen Hu looked at her with a smile: "I know that primary school is right next to my house, but it's too noisy to build there."
Seeing the other party's shameless attitude, Jian Ruoxi explained, "Hope Primary School provides an opportunity for all the children in the village to go to school. If you have children in the future, you can also send them to this school."
By starting with the children, Jian Ruoxi hoped that Chen Hu could understand the importance of Hope Primary School.
But Chen Hu only had one word on his mind: money.
He said, "But you're disturbing the peace. How are you going to calculate my losses? You're giving me a terrible headache every day."
The younger brother chimed in, "Yeah, my older brother hasn't slept for days."
Jian Ruoxi cursed inwardly, how could she have not slept for several days when construction had only just begun? This shameless bastard.
However, he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface: "This was indeed something we didn't consider carefully. You can tell us your working hours, and we will carry out the construction when you are not at home, so as not to disturb your rest."
However, Chen Hu's thoughts drifted to Jian Ruoxi at this moment. He looked at Jian Ruoxi's exposed shoulders and neck and couldn't help but reach out and touch them.
Jian Ruoxi quickly took several steps back: "What are you doing? I'll call the police if you're not careful."
"Call the police? What good will it do even if you do?" Chen Hu said arrogantly.
Gu Hao, who had been hiding to the side, immediately came out and delivered a flying kick to Chen Hu's abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground.
It turns out that Lu Shen arranged for Gu Hao to secretly protect Jian Ruoxi. Although the two were still in a cold war, he was very worried about Jian Ruoxi's safety.
After all, in a village, in the middle of nowhere, if something happens, even if you call the police, they can't get there immediately.
However, Chen Hu was not easy to deal with; after being attacked, he led his men to retreat first.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he still led people to the construction site. He used an iron bar to knock on the bricks and said, "Stop for a moment. If you don't want to die, put down what you're doing."
When Jian Ruoxi tried to handle the situation, Chen Hu demanded an exorbitant amount: "Miss, you brought people to beat me up yesterday. If you don't pay me a hundred thousand or two, how will you compensate me for my internal injuries?"
Looking at the other person's arrogant demeanor, Gu Hao realized that this person was not someone to be trifled with and must be a coward. He whispered in Jian Ruoxi's ear, "Why don't we ask Brother Lu for help?"
But Jian Ruoxi frowned at him and said, "No need."
