Gu Xi Jue frowned in dissatisfaction, and spoke to them in displeasure: ”What are you still doing here?”

”Oh, right, right, Xia Secretary needs to rest, then we won't disturb you, give this fruit to Xia Secretary to eat.” As she spoke, she put down the fruit in her hand and left the restaurant immediately.

The others had already left, but the Village Chief did not leave. He stayed behind and said to Gu Xi Jue, ”Gourmet, don't worry, this will never happen again. Right now, the entire village does not have any proposals for the construction of a holiday village.

Gu Xi Jue nodded his head: ”I will get my assistant to follow up on the matter of signing the contract.”

”Alright, we'll be waiting.” The village chief nodded and expressed his full cooperation.

”Then it's fine, I won't disturb you.” After the village chief finished his business, he also left.

The only ones left in the room were Gu Xi Jue and Xia Lan.

Xia Lan looked at him and asked softly: ”Are you angry?”

”What do you mean?” Gu Xi Jue glanced at her.

”…” Was there something else she didn't like?

”I forgive them, but I don't want to make things so troublesome. They're actually quite simple, aren't they?” Xia Lan tilted her head and asked.

Gu Xi Jue did not say anything, he also admitted that the people here were simple and honest, but he never expected them to be so stupid, capable of kidnapping, and at such a low level.

Moreover, even if they didn't call the police, he had no intention of forgiving them. Those who did wrong were easily forgiven, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't do wrong again in the future.

In this society, there are social rules. If you do something wrong, you should be punished.

”Thank you.” Xia Lan suddenly expressed her thanks.

Gu Xi Jue frowned and asked: ”What thing?”

”Everything.” Xia Lan answered very sincerely. She was very grateful to him for everything he had done for her.

In order to save her, he kowtowed to the villagers, and in order to take care of her, he did not sleep the entire night.

”You have no sincerity.” Gu Xi Jue sat at the side, fiddling with his mobile, seemingly very nonchalant but actually extremely happy in his heart.

It seemed like this woman still had some snacks to eat. At the very least, he had made some for her, so she didn't take notice of it at all.

And besides gratitude, Xia Lan also didn't know how to repay him.

Being looked down upon by him in such a way, Xia Lan also felt that she did not have much sincerity.

Thus, she thought for a moment and said, ”How about, when we get home, I treat you to a meal?”

”You did it?” Gu Xi Jue asked.

”Can't I hire you in the restaurant?” Xia Lan asked.

”Can't I afford it?” Gu Xi Jue said arrogantly.

”Alright then, I'll do it.”

”Don't force yourself.” Gu Xi Jue looked at her and gave her a knowing smile.

”I won't force you, I won't force you at all. Being able to cook for Gourmet is my honor.” Xia Lan's doggy legs were trying to curry favor, and his face was full of smiles.

As they spoke, the doctor arrived. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Xi Jue and asked, ”Is Xia Secretary still awake?”

”He woke up.” Gu Xi Jue let the doctor in and explained his wound.

The doctor looked at Gu Xi Jue's wound in shock and asked, ”When I was giving the Xia Secretary an IV drip yesterday, did you not feel any of the wounds on your body at all?”

Gu Xi Jue shook his head.

The doctor was still in shock. ”No wonder I saw your lips go white yesterday, I saw you being so nervous at Xia Secretary, and thought that you were worried about your lips turn white.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi Jue subconsciously looked at Xia Lan, and discovered that Xia Lan was looking at him as well.
