Vice Mayor Li smilingly pulled out the official docunt with a red header: "President Shao, you may not know this, but this January, the province just passed the ’Wetland Protection Regulation.’ Your island is located in a secondary ecological protection zone, prohibiting comrcial developnt."
Shao Shuangshuang glanced at the docunt and said: "Oh, what a coincidence, the leader who drafted this docunt just ca to Yuzhou last month for tea."
Vice Mayor Li ignored her words, still smiling: "The Environntal Bureau is also following procedures."
As he spoke, he looked toward Director Zhang. Director Zhang was almost sixty years old; he sipped his tea and casually spat out a tea leaf: "President Shao, according to the new regulations, it won’t be approved."
Shao Shuangshuang didn’t want to waste words; she stared at Vice Mayor Li and suddenly laughed: "Are you capable or not? If not, get soone else."
Vice Mayor Li’s face stiffened; he wanted to discuss terms based on the piece of villa land by the lake, but the other party unexpectedly showed no respect.
Beside him, Director Zhang from the Environntal Bureau, who was close to retirent, had half-gray hair and was casually picking his teeth with a toothpick: "Ha, how about it? Boss Shao, why don’t you dismiss ?"
Shao Shuangshuang stood up: "Fine, there’s nothing to discuss. I wish you a peaceful retirent."
"izi, let’s go." Shao Shuangshuang called.
By her side, a skinny little girl of about twelve or thirteen picked up the drawing paper from the table and left obediently.
After only three people were left in the eting room.
Vice Mayor Li looked displeased: "Is there really no one who can deal with her?"
After so many years, he had never seen such an audacious private enterprise.
Mr. Yin sipped his tea and said lightly: "Even if you want to move against her, it wouldn’t be possible at the provincial level."
"At least at that level." He pointed his finger up.
Vice Mayor Li understood imdiately.
Mr. Yin smiled, "It’s only just beginning now."
With the potential of Evergreen Liquid in the coming years, people might finally understand what true terror is.
He glanced at the two n drinking tea, amused: ’Truly ignorant.’
...
Students from Fourth Middle School arrived by bus at Yun City Railway Station.
In the class, Zhang Zhaodi posed beside the train while Lu Qiqi took photos of her.
Walking by, Zhang Chi suddenly rembered having a friendly exchange with Zhang Zhaodi’s boyfriend at lunchti, never expecting that this woman could still pose for photos so casually now.
Zhang Chi sighed: "Won, indeed, are a heartless species! I must keep away!"
Cui Yu glanced at him and said: "Chi Zi, you’re overthinking it, no woman would want to approach you."
Zhang Chi was displeased.
Cui Yu saw Zhang Zhaodi taking pictures, he took out his phone to record a video: "First ti on a train, too excited bros, anything to keep in mind?"
Dong Qingfeng said expressionlessly: "Before getting on the train, make sure to observe the train carefully, and fasten the seatbelt after boarding."
Cui Yu clicked his tongue in amazent: "Qingfeng, the way you seriously joke makes you seem quite the refined rogue."
As the train doors opened, everyone walked into the carriage.
Highschool students are energetic even after a full day of activities, chatting nonstop on the way back.
But Tongtong couldn’t, she fell asleep beside Jiang Ning, and Chen Siyu also fell asleep on the other side.
Opposite sat Bai Yuxia, Yang Sheng, and five people occupied the six-seat booth.
Teacher An Chan paced the aisle, noticing many panda toys around Jiang Ning, even piled on top of the luggage rack overhead.
She wanted to ask, but seeing them asleep, she ultimately held back.
About twenty minutes before getting off, Xue Yuantong woke up, sipped so water, and exclaid about cutting a pineapple.
Jiang Ning took out a fruit knife and swiftly sliced the pineapple; fellow classmates glanced over since their supplies were mostly depleted after a day, with the zoo’s prices high, making this pineapple especially precious.
Xue Yuantong asked insincerely: "Jiang Ning, there are five of us, how are you planning to share?"
Jiang Ning cut the pineapple in half, gave one half to Tongtong and the other half to be divided between Bai Yuxia and Yang Sheng.
Bai Yuxia bit into a small slice of pineapple, feeling that Jiang Ning was really kind to Tongtong, then thought, Tongtong looks like a little daughter, she indeed should be treated like that.
After getting off the train and transferring to a bus, the students finally arrived back at their dedicated campus.
During the break, senior students stood on the balcony, eager like fledglings to see the junior students below, the sourness almost overflowing.
Cui Yu walked down the main path of the campus and shouted to the sky: "Doesn’t matter, you’ll graduate soon anyway!"
The senior students looked absolutely miserable.
Jiang Ning didn’t head straight back to class but stopped at the office, since Guo Ran had class today and didn’t attend the study trip.
Jiang Ning had grabbed quite a few baby pandas today and decided to gift Guo Ran one.
"Jiang Ning, co here." Guo Ran was chasing a drama at the computer; upon seeing Jiang Ning, she stood up, gently busying herself, and offered a glass of juice.
Jiang Ning leaned against the side chair, savoring honey, passion fruit, and lemon juice.
Now he realized, Guo Ran genuinely loved experinting with various snacks, and surprisingly, she produced quite good ones.
If she hadn’t t with an accident in her previous life, perhaps under her care for three years, Jiang Ning’s character wouldn’t be so obsessive.
Guo Ran’s eyes were gentle, and her breath was refreshing as she spoke: "Was the zoo fun?"
Jiang Ning thought for two seconds and said: "It was fun."
Guo Ran smiled: "Actually, during the New Year, I planned to take you to the zoo, but the schedule was too packed."
In their previous chats, she had ntioned this plan, but didn’t expect that the first ti—soone else got there instead.
Jiang Ning replied: "Yeah, it was really packed."
Guo Ran insisted: "Next ti, I’ll adjust the schedule."
"It’s okay, I had a great ti last ti too." Jiang Ning didn’t mind.
While they chatted, Teacher Xiao Tao entered the office, lay on the desk, and began silently crying.
Guo Ran didn’t understand: "?"
Teacher An Chan followed closely after, glancing at Xiao Tao and thinking she deserved it.
She took a sip of water, walked to Jiang Ning’s side, and asked: "You all caught a lot of panda toys."
Jiang Ning: "Yeah, got lucky."
An Chan glanced at the panda toy on Guo Ran’s desk, her tone slightly regretful: "Must’ve spent quite a bit, right? I tried several tis at the panda shop and got nothing."
Jiang Ning: "Not sure, it’s Bai Yuxia who paid."
Hearing this, An Chan felt sowhat surprised and took another look at Jiang Ning.
’Impressive, absolutely impressive, using a female classmate’s money to grab toys, then gifting them to a female teacher!’
’You’re unbeatable, classmate.’
Guo Ran pulled out the baby panda from the packaging and played with it for a while, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted: "You’re still so amazing."
An Chan watched the two, feeling sothing was off.
After gifting the toy, Jiang Ning returned to class; Xue Yuantong’s seat was piled with baby pandas, surrounded by admiring gazes from female classmates.
Xue Yuantong: ’Soone’s plotting against !’
Thus after school and having dinner, Xue Yuantong decided to go ho first and get rid of the panda toys.
Jiang Ning boldly rode his electric scooter out of the campus, where riding was prohibited.
"Jiang Ning, we’re off for Qingming Festival tomorrow afternoon, any plans on where to go?"
"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Ning asked her.
Xue Yuantong: "I was asking you first."
Jiang Ning: "Yeah, so you answer first."
Xue Yuantong puffed her cheeks: "I said, I asked first!"
"Then answer quickly."
"Jiang Ning!"
With the gusts blowing against them, the two bickered onward, the city behind them bathed in glorious sunset hues.
Jiang Ning tapped the brakes as Xue Yuantong was triumphantly laughing after ’defeating’ him, only to stumble forward due to inertia.
She was about to scold Jiang Ning but suddenly saw Chuchu by the roadside.
Xue Yuantong called: "Chuchu, why are you pushing your electric scooter, you feeling sorry for its exhaustion?"
