When Long Deng saw Feng'er, he frowned. To be honest, he didn't have much fondness for Feng'er.
Nuo Xiaoxi knew that Lin Chuan was no longer likely to accept her. Over the past few days, she had been trying to adjust her mindset, attempting to erase Lin Chuan from her heart.
Long Deng had always had a good impression of Nuo Xiaoxi, but before, because of Nuo Xiaoxi's feelings for Lin Chuan, he couldn't accept other suitors.
But in the past few days, Nuo Xiaoxi's attitude took a sudden turn, which delighted Long Deng.
"What are you doing here?" Long Deng said when he saw Feng'er.
Feng'er glanced at Nuo Xiaoxi beside her, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm just here to tell you that the people from the Kill Alliance are no good. It's best to be careful."
Just as Long Deng was about to speak, a black car drove up and stopped beside the three of them. A man got out of the car, and this man was none other than Luo Guoqing.
Luo Guoqing had co to find Nuo Xiaoxi because he had previously promised Lin Chuan to help Nuo Xiaoxi find a job at the city governnt.
It's already December, with about half a year left until Nuo Xiaoxi graduates.
Luo Guoqing had looked for Nuo Xiaoxi twice before and liked the girl very much. Over ti, he had co to treat Nuo Xiaoxi like his daughter.
"Uncle Luo, you're here." Seeing Luo Guoqing get out of the car, Nuo Xiaoxi happily approached him.
Luo Guoqing's smile was very kind as he looked at Nuo Xiaoxi and said, "Xiao Xi, I've co to take you ho for dinner." After speaking, he glanced at Feng'er and Long Deng, then asked, "Who are they?"
Nuo Xiaoxi said, "One is my classmate, and I don't know the other one."
Luo Guoqing nodded and asked, "Xiao Xi, have you heard from your brother Lin Chuan lately? I can't seem to contact him."
Nuo Xiaoxi shook her head sadly and said, "No, I haven't seen him either."
Feng'er, standing not far away, heard Lin Chuan's na and suddenly approached, looking at Luo Guoqing and Nuo Xiaoxi, and asked, "Is the Lin Chuan you're talking about a young man?"
Both Luo Guoqing and Nuo Xiaoxi looked at Feng'er in surprise and nodded involuntarily. Nuo Xiaoxi asked first, "Do you know my brother?"
Feng'er was taken aback and nodded.
Seeing Feng'er nod, Nuo Xiaoxi quickly asked, "Where's my brother now?"
Feng'er gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but I think he should be back soon."
Luo Guoqing asked, "Can you contact Lin Chuan for ? I really have so urgent matters to discuss with him."
Feng'er shook his head again and said, "I can't reach him either, but soone should know where he is."
"Who?" Luo Guoqing and Nuo Xiaoxi asked in unison.
Feng'er said, "His na is Zhang Wenhui."
......
The relationship between Tang Yung and the Fire Fox Organization wasn't sothing that could be explained in just a few words. She had a special way of communicating with Silver Fox, the leader of the Fire Fox Organization.
This ti, with Zhou Kai going to Fukuoka, Japan, she was a bit uneasy. After all, Zhou Kai's relationship with Lin Chuan was complicated. If sothing happened to Zhou Kai, Lin Chuan would feel incredibly distressed.
For Lin Chuan's sake, Tang Yung proactively reached out to Silver Fox.
Silver Fox was not in the country but in Washington, United States. After receiving Tang Yung's call and hearing about the situation, he agreed to go to Fukuoka, Japan, to help Zhou Kai.
It had been a long ti without news of Lin Chuan. Silver Fox missed him a lot. He wanted to ask about Lin Chuan on the phone, but restrained himself and ultimately didn't ask Tang Yung.
With Silver Fox's help, Tang Yung felt a bit relieved and returned to Zhou Kai's office.
When Tang Yung ca in, both Zhou Rui and Zhou Kai looked up at her.
Tang Yung smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Kai, my friend has promised to help. Once you're in Fukuoka, soone will naturally contact you."
Zhou Kai looked at Tang Yung with gratitude and said, "Secretary Tang, I really have to thank you for this."
Tang Yung said, "I've already told you, don't call Secretary Tang anymore. It sounds awkward. From now on, we're family, so there's no need to be so formal with ."
What else could Zhou Kai say at this mont? He stood up, looked at Tang Yung, and said, "Tang, Yung, I'll head to Japan first. I'll leave Sichuan University Group to you. Also, please take care of Zhou Rui and my wife, Ma Yilin."
After Zhou Kai left, only Tang Yung and Zhou Rui were left in the office.
Both won were involved with Lin Chuan, and both had a complicated relationship with him. At this mont, being alone in the sa space felt inexplicably awkward.
Zhou Rui naturally knew about the relationship between Lin Chuan and Tang Yung, but Tang Yung might not necessarily know about the connection between Zhou Rui and Lin Chuan. After a mont of silence, Tang Yung was the first to speak, "Mr. Zhou, how many months along are you?"
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "It's been seven months now."
Tang Yung nodded, and then said, "Mr. Zhou, I've known you for quite a while. Who is the child's father?"
When Zhou Rui heard Tang Yung ask this question, her body trembled slightly and she said, "There's no need to ntion the child's father. I don't have as good fortune as you. Lin Chuan treats you so well."
Zhou Rui's words were clearly tinged with jealousy, and Tang Yung couldn't fail to notice. However, she didn't suspect that the child's father could be Lin Chuan. She laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't make fun of . Lin Chuan is indeed my future husband, but I haven't known where he is for a long ti. How can he treat well?"
It's no wonder Tang Yung had so complaints; Lin Chuan indeed wasn't doing enough in this regard.
Zhou Rui smiled but said nothing more. How many people could understand the bitterness in her heart?
The atmosphere suddenly turned silent, and there seed to be nothing more for the two to talk about. Fortunately, at this awkward mont, Tang Yung's phone rang.
The call was from Luo Guoqing. He asked where Tang Yung was.
Tang Yung said she was at Sichuan University Group, and Luo Guoqing told her to wait there, saying he would co to pick her up in thirty minutes.
Zhou Rui sat awkwardly for a while, then stood up and said, "Secretary Tang, I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave now. If there's anything, feel free to contact my assistant or Ma Yilin."
Tang Yung also stood up and said, "Alright then, Mr. Zhou. I'm not very familiar with the business of Sichuan University Group, so I'll consult with them."
After Zhou Rui left, Tang Yung checked the ti. Luo Guoqing would still need over twenty minutes to arrive. She walked out of the office and went to the assistant's room next door.
Zhou Kai's assistant was a young man from a prestigious university nad Li Zhiqiang.
Seeing Tang Yung enter, Li Zhiqiang imdiately stood up and politely asked, "Ms. Tang, do you need anything?"
Tang Yung smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask which office Ma Yilin is in."
Ma Yilin was Zhou Kai's wife, whom Tang Yung had t once at their wedding.
"Oh, Ms. Tang, let take you there," Li Zhiqiang said.
Following Li Zhiqiang, they took the elevator down one floor to the group's administration departnt. Tang Yung saw a sign labeled "Departnt Head."
Ma Yilin was now the head of the administration departnt of Sichuan University Group, sowhat benefiting from Zhou Kai's influence.
Thanking Li Zhiqiang, Tang Yung knocked on the office door and heard Ma Yilin's voice from inside: "Co in."
Tang Yung opened the office door and entered, seeing another woman sitting inside. She quickly said, "You go ahead and talk. I'll co back in a bit."
With that, Tang Yung turned to leave. Recognizing Tang Yung, Ma Yilin quickly stood up and said, "Secretary Tang, it's an honor to have you here. Please, have a seat."
Tang Yung had no choice but to turn around, smile at Ma Yilin, and sit on the sofa next to the other woman.
Observant as ever, Tang Yung glanced at the woman from the corner of her eye and noticed that although she looked fine, her eyes revealed signs of distress.
Moreover, the woman had so scars on her face, clear evidence of being beaten.
Seeing Tang Yung enter, the woman imdiately stood up and said to Ma Yilin, "Yilin, I'll leave first."
Ma Yilin was pouring water for Tang Yung and turned to the woman, saying, "Don't leave yet. Tell Secretary Tang about your situation."
Since Tang Yung entered, the woman's gaze had been fixated on her. She felt Tang Yung looked familiar, as if she had seen her sowhere before.
When Ma Yilin addressed Tang Yung as Secretary Tang, it suddenly clicked for the woman that this beautiful woman in front of her was indeed the City Committee Secretary of Jiangbei City.
"Secretary Tang, I beg you to save my son." The woman abruptly turned and knelt in front of Tang Yung, tears streaming down her face as she cried.
Tang Yung was taken aback and quickly helped the woman up, saying, "Sister, please get up and take your ti to speak."
With Tang Yung's support, the woman sat on the sofa, clutching Tang Yung's hand tightly, her tears flowing uncontrollably like the Yellow River bursting its banks.
Ma Yilin poured a glass of water, placed it on the coffee table in front of Tang Yung, and also sat down beside it, saying to Tang Yung, "Secretary Tang, you must intervene in Sister Du's matter."
Tang Yung didn't understand what had happened to this Sister Du that Ma Yilin was referring to and said, "I'm no longer a City Committee Secretary. Sister Du, please tell what happened."
Sister Du cald herself, wiped away her tears, and looked at Tang Yung as she slowly recounted a shocking incident.
The woman's na was Du Yuwei, a resident of Jiangbei City who ran a trading company in East Sea County, a jurisdiction of Jiangbei City.
A year ago, Du Yuwei's trading company faced a financial crunch and borrowed 1.1 million from a local real estate developer nad Yang Biao, agreeing on a monthly interest rate of ten percent.
However, to Du Yuwei's surprise, due to poor business operations, she delayed repaynt of the 1.1 million by two months, and it suddenly escalated to a debt of 2.1 million.
