Chapter 98 - Returned To F City II (1/2)
As Jiang Ruolan thought about this, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of depression in her heart.
This kind of depression, it was something that had never happened even when Xian Jian slapped her.
Because of what she had said, they turned into strangers. Is this what she asked for?
This clearly should have been her life. Xian Zihao's existence shouldn't have had any effect on her emotions, so why was she so confused?
She suddenly put down her utensils and then went to her luggage. She took out the documents she brought and tried to focus on her work to disperse the inexplicable strange feelings within her heart.

The next day...
Jiang Yijun was very busy, so he couldn't spend time with her. Jiang Ruolan wandered the streets of F City alone, and as she passed the central square of City F in a bus, she saw at a glance a luxurious black car from the front stop stopped at the central square. The back door opened, and someone came out.
From her point of view, she only vaguely saw the person's back. Throughout the day, Jiang Ruolan took a stroll through F City by bus. She thought back to the place where she lived for two years and felt ridiculous that she had left this city for the sake of love.
During the day, Qin Gengxin called several times.
”Damn it, Jiang Ruolan, you dare not answer my call! If you have the ability, don't go back to H City! I really want to fire you now!”
Here's what happened...
On Saturday morning, after Jiang Ruolan got her ticket from the company, she was supposed to take a taxi to the airport, but Qin Gengxin's car was parked in front of the company, waiting for her. He intends to accompany her to F City, where he wanted to take advantage of this visit to strengthen their relationship.
In the end, Jiang Ruolan took advantage of the moment when he wasn't paying attention to her to escape. Of course, while running, she also carried Qin Gengxin's ID with her. Without his ID, he cannot board a plane.
What a joke.
Did Qin Gengxin really think that she will compromise with him? If he really came with her to this city, she might be like a lamb in a tiger's nest.
As a result, she had been bombarded by Qin Gengxin's phone calls these past two days. Jiang Ruolan shamelessly turned it to mute.
Just by thinking about it, one could imagine that the fellow was so angry that he wanted to kill someone …

The next day, at the city construction exhibition...
Jiang Ruolan arrived at the Fifth Street Exhibition and Convention Center with her work permit in hand. She showed her permission and invitation to the security guard at the entrance. They carefully checked her ID and invitation before letting her in.
The exhibition was set at 1 p.m. The huge exhibition center was brightly lit, and the hall was filled with dignitaries from all regions and cities, as well as the domestic business elite.
Alone in the corner, she was fiddling with the small professional DV in her hands. Then, she hung her work permit around her neck. Just as she was about to take a picture of the city planning map, a figure suddenly walked from the front door, causing her to stop in her movements.
After barely meeting each other for almost two weeks, Jiang Ruolan watched Xian Zihao slowly enter the main entrance of the exhibition center.
He did not wear a tie today. The collar of his shirt was undone with two buttons, and his black hair was slightly combed back. Although he was dressed slightly formal, he did not lose his composure. Upon entering the door, he was surrounded by several well-known officers.
Amongst the crowd, he could be considered the youngest, yet he also had the calmest temperament. He was the most low-key, yet the most terrifying one. His tall and straight figure was the most eye-catching among the crowd.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Jiang Ruolan withdrew her gaze and looked down at her phone. Seeing that it was a call from the chief editor, she quickly walked to the corner.
”On Wednesday night, you will go to the Oriental Hotel in F City to dine with some of the leaders. They are the construction Bureau leaders who once served in H City and have a relationship with our company. It's actually Director Lan who's treating us. Who knows, he might be able to climb up to some position in the future, so we can't afford to offend him!” The editor's voice came over the phone.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment, but her thoughts were not entirely focused on the phone. When she turned around to look at the figures in front of the exhibition hall, she no longer saw Xian Zihao.
