Chapter 356: Section Chief Hao’s Helplessness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After watching Nie Jun and Ye Xiao leave, only Section Chief Hao, Lin Xiang, and Wang Xu were left in the meeting room.

Section Chief Hao looked at the two of them and hesitated to speak.

Lin Xiang knew that he was anxious, but he did not dare to exacerbate the situation any further.

Wang Xu naturally would not let Section Chief Hao go. He only looked at her with a faint smile.

The three of them stared at each other for about four to five minutes before Lin Xiang finally could not hold it in any longer.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll head back first!” Lin Xiang said to Chief Hao.

Wang Xu also nodded heavily and said, “Right! We have to start work as soon as possible. Once the money is in place, we’ll be able to deliver some results.”

Lin Xiang nodded in agreement. “After all, we are serving the government. If we move faster, the project will kick off sooner.”

Hearing Lin Xiang’s words, Chief Hao became even more flustered. “Actually, it’s not that urgent. In order to ensure the quality, we have to be more prudent!”

Wang Xu naturally knew the purpose of Chief Hao’s words.

She smiled lightly and said, “Don’t worry! We will complete the project with the fastest speed to ensure the quality!”

“Then we’ll be leaving first! You don’t have to see us off!” After Wang Xu said that, she pulled Lin Xiang and walked out.

Lin Xiang turned his head and waved at Chief Hao, but was dragged away by Wang Xu.

Just as the two of them walked out of the government office building, Wang Xu slapped Lin Xiang on the back.

Lin Xiang was caught off guard and staggered a few steps forward in pain.

He looked back at Wang Xu aggrievedly and asked, “Why did you hit me! It’s the second time!”

“I hit you out of kindness!”Wang Xu snorted and said.

“Were you planning to say that you don’t need the upfront fees for now?” Wang Xu crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked Lin Xiang.

“How do you know?” Lin Xiang looked at Wang Xu in disbelief.

“Even without Sister Ya’s advice, I can read you like a book!” Wang Xu looked at Lin Xiang with disdain.

“Let me tell you, good intentions may not be rewarded well! So, don’t abuse your good intentions!” Wang Xu warned Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang said helplessly, “We are forcing him into a dead end!”

“Just now in Secretary Nie’s office, didn’t you say that the money is no longer there?” Lin Xiang blinked at Wang Xu. “If we ask him to pay up now, he definitely won’t be able to come up with anything!”

“So you want to help him?” Wang Xu looked at Lin Xiang in disbelief.

Lin Xiang nodded heavily and said, “We don’t need that money to start work, do we?”

Wang Xu stared at Lin Xiang for a long time before she couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, “Forget it! I’m too lazy to explain it to you! We’ll talk about it when we get back to the old home!”

After Wang Xu said that, she ignored Lin Xiang’s confused look and walked towards the direction of the bus station.

Wang Xu and Lin Xiang returned to the old home. When they pushed the door open, they saw that Chu Qi had already spread out a pile of documents in the courtyard. They did not know what he was writing.

Wang Xu curiously went forward. When she saw that Chu Qi seemed to be calculating something, she quickly left him alone.

Although Lin Xiang had met Chu Qi twice, they were not familiar with each other, so he did not go over to disturb Chu Qi.

In the evening, Fang Ya and Ming Xia arrived at the old home.

Wang Xu went forward and held Fang Ya’s hand. “Sister Ya, it’s a pity that you didn’t go to the meeting room at that time!”

“You didn’t see Section Chief Hao’s broken expression!” Wang Xu said happily with a smile on her face.

Fang Ya nodded, but she wasn’t as happy as Wang Xu appeared to be.

She asked Chu Qi, “How is it? Have you finished the calculations?”

Chu Qi replied with a hum and picked up a notebook and handed it to Fang Ya. “It’s basically the same as what we predicted.”

Fang Ya took the book to see, then pulled Wang Xu to the table and sat down.
