When they returned to Yunhai that day, Fang Ling couldn't wait to come to their door.
It seems that she is really anxious.
"How do you want me to help you?"
As soon as they met, Chen Fan asked Fang Ling a question that stunned her.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you would lend me money?"
"You don't want to borrow it again?"
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head: "That's not what I meant."
"I'm asking how you want me to help you?"
"Don't you owe the bank 60 million? If you pay back the 60 million, you don't have to marry that rich second-generation guy?"
Fang Ling was silent.
"If I pay back 60 million, my family can temporarily solve the bank's problems, but my family's business..."
Fang Ling shook her head: "I don't care about that. As for the rest, let them figure it out."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I think you are thinking too simply."
"If your family's problems are not solved, I don't think your marriage will ever be solved."
"So what do you say we should do?"
Fang Ling was a little depressed.
"Did you agree to get married before?"
Fang Ling's eyes suddenly became evasive.
"I... I have no choice. After all, I am a member of the Fang family. I can't..."
Chen Fan sighed, "I understand."
"Please let me meet with your father sometime. I'll talk to him and see if we can handle this problem properly."
Fang Ling's eyes lit up.
"Can you help me?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "People always come up with solutions, so we have to give it a try."
Fang Ling felt a little embarrassed.
"In fact, you are already a great help by lending me money."
Chen Fan waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. Go back and discuss it with your dad and see if we can arrange a time to meet."
"oh……"
Fang Ling stood up to say goodbye, and suddenly turned around when she reached the door.
"Chen Fan, thank you."
Chen Fan smiled and waved.
After watching Fang Ling leave, Chen Fan received another call from Guo Wendong.
"From the mayor's office?"
Chen Fan was a little puzzled: "Didn't the other party say anything?"
"He said that if you have time tomorrow, the mayor wants to see you."
"But the other party didn't say what the matter was on the phone."
Chen Fan was puzzled: "Is there any business conference tomorrow?"
"No. The mayor wants to see you alone."
"A private meeting?"
Chen Fan suddenly remembered the scene when he last met Tong Haoran.
One-on-one meeting?
What is the other party's purpose?
"You call the other party and tell them that I will be there on time tomorrow."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
For example, in this kind of invitation, although the other party is just asking politely, he cannot just refuse it.
This trip should be taken no matter what.
But what Chen Fan didn't understand was why Mayor Tong wanted to see him.
In particular, she remembered Mayor Tong's warning to her at the end of their last meeting.
Chen Fan felt helpless.
I always feel that this meeting is not a good thing.
The next morning, Chen Fan drove alone to the place mentioned in the phone call without a driver.
The meeting place was not a high-end club, nor was it a city office, but a very ordinary leisure farmhouse.
After entering and parking the car, Chen Fan looked around curiously.
After confirming that this was indeed a very ordinary farm stay, I was even more confused about the other party's purpose.
Why do we meet in a place like this?
Isn't he afraid of being seen by someone with ulterior motives and having something unfavorable to him said?
When Chen Fan was about to make a phone call, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he put down the phone speechlessly.
"I said, why are you here too?"
The girl opposite was wearing a miniskirt, revealing her two long white legs, looking full of youth.
The girl was wearing a straw fisherman's hat and was looking at Chen Fan boredly.
"Why can't I be here?"
Chen Fan walked over with a smile, "Did your dad ask you to pick me up?"
"Otherwise. Who do you think is worthy of being greeted by me personally?"
"Come with me."
Tong Yao turned around and led the way, and the two of them walked through a tall bamboo forest.
"What is this place?"
Chen Fan asked with a smile: "I didn't know there was such a leisurely place in Yunhai before."
"Stop using these flattering words." Tong Yao turned her head and glanced at Chen Fan.
"The one who met you today is my dad. I was just responsible for leading the way. I don't know anything else."
"But... this farm stay is owned by my second uncle. My dad likes to go fishing here when he has nothing to do."
After hearing this, Chen Fan understood why they chose to meet here.
"You really don't know why your father is looking for me?"
Tong Yao looked at Chen Fan and suddenly laughed.
"You seem nervous."
"It's really interesting. This is the first time I've seen Boss Chen look nervous."
Chen Fan was speechless: "Please, that's Mayor Tong, I have to deal with it properly."
Tongyun curled his lips: "Dog legs."
He led Chen Fan through the bamboo forest and arrived at a beautiful lake.
Chen Fan discovered that on the side of the lake, there was a beautifully shaped wooden cottage at intervals.
A wooden path led directly across, and small houses were built on the lake.
It is indeed a great place for leisure fishing.
Tong Yao led Chen Fan to one of the cabins.
From a distance, Chen Fan saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes and a sun hat sitting there, fishing leisurely.
A young man in a suit was standing next to him, fiddling with the tea set.
The two walked over and the nursery rhyme was shouted.
"Dad, I brought the person to you."
The middle-aged man turned around and it turned out to be Mayor Tong Haoran.
"Girl, can you keep your voice down? You scared my fish."
The childish rhyme murmured in boredom: "You've been fishing all morning and haven't caught a single fish."
Tong Haoran was not angry either, and pointed at the nursery rhyme with a smile.
"Girl, you only know how to expose your father's past."
As he spoke, he stood up, took off his hat, and stretched out his hand towards Chen Fan.
"Mr. Chen. Nice to see you again."
Chen Fan was somewhat "flattered" and quickly walked over to shake hands with the other party.
"Mayor Tong is so elegant. I never thought that Mayor Tong would ask me to meet him in a place like this."
"Haha, I want to talk to you about some personal matters today. It's too serious to meet in the office. It's better for us to go fishing and drink tea together..."
"Mayor Tong is right."
Seeing the two of them pretending to be nice, Tong Yao rolled her eyes again.
She knew Chen Fan too well and could tell at a glance that someone was deliberately acting.
"Mr. Chen, do you know how to fish? Why don't you give it a try?" Tong Haoran invited.
Chen Fan laughed: "I did fish with a bamboo pole when I was a kid, but I can't say I'm really good at it. I'm afraid I'm not as good as Mayor Tong."
"Haha, leisure time is just for relaxing."
"Xiao Li, bring a pole over to Mr. Chen."
The secretary next to him immediately brought a fishing rod. Chen Fan thanked him and then cast a rod as well. Then the two of them sat down next to each other.
Tong Yan was originally curious about what the two of them were talking about.
It turned out that the two of them just sat there staring at the fishing rods without saying a word.
I was speechless for a moment.
Could it be that these two people would just sit there without saying a word?
If I had known I wouldn't have come here today.
