Zhou Yuan drove all the way from Jiuyan Bridge to the provincial bus station. There was not much traffic jam at that time, so he drove relatively fast.
After crossing Jiuyan Bridge, he saw a familiar car on the opposite side at an intersection. After taking a closer look, he found that it was indeed Liu Xiaopan's car, so he stretched out his hand from the window and waved.
Liu Xiaopan was carefully observing the cars coming from the opposite direction along the way, so she noticed Zhou Yuan's hand as soon as he stretched out.
At this moment, her frown finally relaxed and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
Zhou Yuan turned the car at the intersection and found a parking space on the opposite side. Liu Xiaopan had already parked the car there.
In the past, parking was not as complicated as it is now, and you would get fined at any time.
I was fined back then, but the fines were lighter and there weren't as many restrictions because there were fewer private cars and the traffic jams weren't as severe.
"You really came. I thought you were joking."
This was the first sentence Zhou Yuan said after seeing Liu Xiaopan.
Liu Xiaopan rubbed his hands and said shyly, "I came when I said I would, did you think I was joking?
You said you wanted to book a room with me, is that ready?"
"Sorry, no, this place is still far from our construction site. Let's drive on."
Because he didn't dare to park for too long, Zhou Yuan said hello to Liu Xiaopan, got in the car and drove back.
Liu Xiaopan followed closely behind.
After returning to the base and parking the car in the construction site, Zhou Yuan said to Liu Xiaopan who had just gotten out of the car, "Didn't you say you were hungry on the phone? Come on, I'll take you to dinner first, and then we'll take you for a walk to see the scenery of the provincial capital. Have you ever been to the provincial capital?"
"It's my first time, but it shouldn't be so bad that I can't get out of the bus station, right?"
Liu Xiaopan smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "The provincial capital bus station is huge, with connections all around. If you're not familiar with it, even if you've been here before, you might not be able to get out."
"You have a point. Let's go and have dinner."
After arriving in a strange place, Liu Xiaopan became much more well-behaved than before and no longer argued with anyone at every turn.
And she seemed to be very dependent on Zhou Yuan and very docile.
Zhou Yuan felt this, so when he arrived at the dining area, sat down and ordered some dishes while waiting for them to be served, Zhou Yuan said half seriously and half jokingly:
"I've noticed that you're quite dependent on me, which is not good. You're an independent woman, and we're not very familiar with each other, and we're competitors.
How can you depend on me?"
"Why not?" Liu Xiaopan rolled her eyes and snorted, "You know why I came here."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Zhou Yuan looked at someone with a tender and affectionate look, was startled, and quickly pretended to be confused.
This guy said he would deliver the goods to your door, but that can’t be true, right?
Is it that easy?
This is not like Liu Xiaopan's personality, but like his sister Liu Xiaofang.
Zhou Yuan was thinking about it when the other party said quietly: "Do you think I am willing to run so far to find you?
The company is waiting for the rice to come in. You allocated me 5km of highway before, but now there is no work to do after it is completed. What can I do?
Now I find that you are quite capable and you can get such a big project, so I decided to cling to you.
From now on, as long as you share the work with me and keep my company alive, you can ask for any conditions you want."
When Liu Xiaopan said this, she blushed a little, her voice became softer and softer, and she quickly lowered her head.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words actually pointed out that she was indeed prepared. In order to get the project and to support her own company, she was willing to give everything she had.
Thinking that this woman was so casual, Zhou Yuan immediately lost interest in her.
He felt that this guy must be just like her sister, with no bottom line and would sleep with anyone as long as they benefited from her.
So when someone's words were clear enough, he shook his head and said, "Since your father helped me back then, I can give you some of the work, but I don't have the conditions, and I don't need you to pay.
You don't have to do this. It's not easy for a young woman like you to support a company.
Your father was actually very successful as a foreman back then, but unfortunately he had health problems and retired too early."
Zhou Yuan stated his position and said with some regret.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaopan shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It's not that my father retired too early, it's that big relative of my family who retired too early. If he were still in office, he could just make a phone call and my company would have endless work to do.
Alas, what a pity!
Sometimes I even thought about closing the company, but when I thought about how much effort my dad had put into building it, and I knew the construction industry would be booming in a few years, I couldn't bear it and decided to take another gamble.
Liu Xiaopan was chattering away when the waiter brought the ordered dishes. Zhou Yuan also ordered drinks, but no wine.
After Liu Xiaopan noticed this, he said to the waiter, "Bring me a bottle of wine, strong liquor!"
"No way, Second Miss, why are you, a girl, drinking alcohol?"
Zhou Yuan was startled by someone's behavior, but it was difficult to stop her. After all, there was no need to drive at night.
She wanted to drink for her own reasons, after all, so she could only let it go.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaopan got drunk that night.
In the end, Zhou Yuan could only help her to get a room in a nearby hotel.
He opened the room, walked her into the room, laid her flat on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then quietly left the room and closed the door.
