Chapter 384 I Won’t Give Up Easily
After hanging up the phone, I slumped in the chair, feeling powerless. Mr. Song's harshness made me breathless, and Song Yang's indifference made me feel chilled.
Just when I was in a state of panic, Song Feng's conspiracy surfaced again. He secretly contacted our suppliers and tried to delay the project by cutting off supply. Fortunately, I was prepared and contacted backup suppliers in advance, so his plan did not succeed.
"Sister Gu, Song Feng has been very active recently, you have to be careful." Xu Sisi reminded me in a low voice.
I nodded, knowing that Song Feng would not give up easily. He would definitely find a chance to strike again.
One night, I worked overtime until very late and was the only one left in the office. Jiang Yichen suddenly pushed the door open with a takeaway in his hand.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" He put the takeaway on my table, his tone much softer than usual.
I was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "Why are you here?"
He sat opposite me, his eyes complicated: "Momo, thank you for your hard work during this period."
I smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
He was silent for a while, and then whispered: "This piece of land is now a huge project to build."
I shook my head and said calmly, "I understand. After all, the project period is very long and Mr. Song is very tight. Fortunately, the store's orders have gradually increased in the past few days. The anchors are very energetic and they all resemble me in the past."
He sighed and reached out to hold my hand: "Momo, I don't want work to affect our relationship."
I looked at him, feeling a pang of sadness in my heart, and said, "Jiang Yichen, I understand."
"I've been really busy with work these days, but I haven't forgotten about our trip. I've already prepared the guide. Let's take Xiao Huai with us."
He squeezed my hand and responded happily: "Yeah."
The project finally came to an end. Although the process was difficult, the result was satisfactory. Mr. Song was very satisfied with our performance and even publicly praised me at a meeting: "Xiaomo's ability is obvious to all. Song's is very lucky to have a partner like you."
I accepted his compliment with a smile, but I didn't feel too happy. I knew that behind all this was my countless days and nights of hard work and persistence.
Song Yang stood beside me and cheered, "Gu Mo, we did it."
I turned to look at him, eyes full of fatigue: "Yeah, we did it."
He whispered, "You've worked so hard during this period. When the project starts next month, I'll call you Mr. Gu from now on."
"That piece of land." I paused. "I've investigated it before. The land is going to be good soon, but there are too many problems left over from before."
"I know. Some time ago, someone was hired to deal with it. Most of the people over there have left."
"But there are always a few, you know."
I glanced at Song Yang helplessly. He was looking dejected. Then, I encouraged him: "You have come through so many difficulties. Are you still afraid of these?"
"Yes, then I will call Mr. Gu in advance."
A week later, Jiang Yichen and I arrived at the land we had acquired as promised.
A week later, Song Yang and I arrived at the land as agreed.
Standing on the abandoned construction site, surrounded by dilapidated old buildings, the walls are covered with vines and the windows are broken, as if silently telling the story of the past glory and the present decline.
"This place... is worse than I thought," I whispered, my eyes sweeping over the houses that were still inhabited, a mixture of emotions welling up in my heart.
Jiang Yichen stood beside me, his hands in his windbreaker pockets, his eyes deep: "Yes, but this is also our opportunity."
I turned to look at him, with a hint of confusion in my tone: "Do you really think we can deal with these residents? They seem... very resistant."
He smiled and said firmly, "Momo, have you forgotten how we got to where we are today? No matter how difficult the situation was, we got through it together."
I was silent for a while, and the scene from a few months ago emerged in my mind. At that time, when Jiang Yichen first told me about this piece of land at home, he roughly described it to me. I didn't expect that the actual situation was worse than I thought.
He brought me here, pointing to this desolate piece of land, his eyes now full of ambition: “Momo, although this piece of land is troublesome, it has been decided, and I believe in you.”
Standing here, I realized that this matter was not as simple as I thought. "Jiang Yichen," I called him softly, "Did you know that the residents here were unwilling to move away?"
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I know."
My heart sank, as if something was grabbing me tightly, and I had difficulty breathing. Just as I was about to ask something else, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance. I looked up and saw Song Yang1 walking quickly towards me from a distance. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, holding a document in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression serious.
"Miss Gu," he said hurriedly as he approached, "You all came quite early."
I stared at Song Yang with a complicated expression, feeling mixed emotions. I forced a smile and said softly, "I wanted to come and see the situation first, but I didn't expect it to be more difficult than Jiang Yichen described."
Song Yang heard this and sighed helplessly, his tone was calm: "The situation here is indeed complicated, but my people have made proper arrangements in the past few days. We just need to proceed steadily according to the plan."
I looked up at him, questioning him: "Song Yang, you already knew that the residents here were against relocation, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
He was silent for a moment, his eyes dodging subconsciously, but he regained his composure in an instant and explained, "Ms. Gu, this piece of land has great potential. We can't give up easily because of this little difficulty."
I smiled bitterly, my words full of disappointment: "Well, I hope you can handle the matter properly and don't let me clean up the mess."
"What does this mean?" Song Yang had just asked when Jiang Yichen and I took a step forward.
Song Yang walked up to me quickly and said sincerely, "Ms. Gu, I understand that this matter has put a lot of pressure on you, but Jiang Yichen has full confidence in your ability. Let's work together and we will definitely find a solution."
"Okay, got it." Xu Sisi on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but respond on my behalf.
Song Yang frowned and looked at Xu Sisi: "Xu Sisi, I'm talking to Gu Mo, why are you butting in?"
Xu Sisi looked innocent and retorted, "Did I interrupt? Did anyone see me interrupt?"
Jiang Yichen and I looked at each other, shook our heads in tacit agreement, and said in unison, "I didn't see it."
I was silent for a while, feeling as if a stone was pressing down on my heart, making it hard for me to breathe. Just then, a commotion came from not far away. We turned around and saw several residents walking towards us, led by a middle-aged man with an angry look on his face.
