No, I didn't. I guarantee that my relationship with Shi Lingheng is innocent.
He only has eyes for you.
He came to me saying he was certain I could help, and even took my little dumpling hostage. I was so stupid back then that I didn't even realize it!
He even personally and confidently left the person behind.
I absolutely did not mean to ruin your relationship.
These words flashed through Fan Xiaofan's mind instantly. Of course, he couldn't say it like that. He turned the words on his tongue and transformed them into a simple and blunt sentence: "My relationship with him is completely innocent, and Heaven can bear witness."
Ruan Jiu suppressed a laugh that almost spilled out, and cleared her throat under the pretense of coughing, wondering if Shi Lingheng would turn pale if he heard it.
This girl is really...
Seeing his expression, Fan Xiaofan thought he didn't believe her, so she hurriedly added, "It's more real than pearls."
Even when Ruan Jiu is laughing and joking, he still exudes a cold and aloof aura, like a delicate flower that is difficult to pluck. In front of him, Fan Xiaofan sits nervously like a well-behaved elementary school student.
She stared at Ruan Jiu expectantly, her heart pounding. Had she not explained things clearly enough? She hoped that nothing would be misunderstood.
Ruan Jiu shook her head: "You're such a child. But you don't need to be so nervous about a simple chat. I'm just wondering why you're asking, since our Mr. Shi Lingheng said he doesn't like making friends."
Fan Xiaofan screamed inwardly, "We..."
Our Mr. Shi Lingheng...
Why does it feel inexplicably sweet?
The bald guy glanced at Fan Xiaofan, wanting to say something, "Xiaofan, I understand how you feel. I was nervous talking to them too..."
If Xiao Fan knew, she would silently and coldly reply, "No, we are different. The reasons you are nervous and the reasons I am nervous are different."
You're nervous because of the boss's intimidating presence, while I'm nervous because I absolutely cannot cause any misunderstandings.
Ruan Jiu found Fan Xiaofan quite interesting. People with such high emotional intelligence could easily make someone relax. Even with that aloof face, he unconsciously made people feel that he was a trustworthy person.
By the time Fan Xiaofan realized what was happening, she had already unconsciously voiced her recent confusion, which was about the waterworks.
"I have seen several waterworks in Beidu. You are right, they do bring a lot of convenience to people."
Fan Xiaofan listened attentively to Ruan Jiu's words, wanting to know what advice he would give her.
Ruan Jiu's voice was calm, as if she had no extra emotions, simply stating her own suggestions.
“Nationwide implementation might be difficult for the time being, but why not try it in this province? Yunnan is a place with abundant water resources, and it has advantages in building a waterworks. Moreover, it has just experienced a natural disaster like a hailstorm, and I'm afraid many people are in dire straits. Providing them with jobs and work-for-relief programs would be much more reassuring than providing relief food.”
Just like in Niuqian's village, the village chief was unwilling to apply for relief grain, but if it came to helping build a waterworks, he would be more enthusiastic than anyone else.
Fan Xiaofan instantly understood Ruan Jiu's meaning. For different situations across the country, building a waterworks might be convenient in some places, but if it were to be promoted in other places, it would increase the burden on people. Yunnan Province, on the other hand, has the advantages of favorable timing, location, and people.
Another important point, the sentence that touched her the most, was that work relief is much more reassuring than food aid.
She also heard that some villages would rather go hungry than apply for relief food, and that the amount of relief food was limited, not enough to feed people for a year.
