Chapter 279 - Wan Shoushan’s Clear Pursuit

The next day, Jiang Ruolan left the hospital, and under the doctor"s special instructions. When she received a call from Yi Meixiu at work, she found out that the girl had fallen in love, again and for the third time.

Jiang Ruolan initially thought that Yi Meixiu would be numbed by her failed relationships, but that woman cried so loudly on the phone. Jiang Ruolan couldn"t understand her at all.

Everyone will have a first lover in their life. They will love each other deeply and sacredly at that time. When they broke up, they felt as if the whole world had collapsed.

The second time, you will be calmer. It was like you were trying to buy a lottery ticket for thirty thousand dollars, and when you try to win the lottery, you will find that the lottery ticket falls into the sewer and will never return. There will be more complaints, but at least the sky will not collapse.

The third time, it was like splitting the money. That was similar to how you felt when you accidentally invested a hundred yuan on a bus. You would grit your teeth, but you did not mind. Wasn"t it just a hundred yuan?

Later on, people would gradually become numb.

Love .. It can also be considered a kind of evolution.

Jiang Ruolan promised to accompany the woman to KTV in the evening, but she still had to work during the day at the company.

Jiang Ruolan was writing a draft on her desk. She planned to compile it before typing it into the computer. At this point, someone knocked lightly on the table with his fingers. She looked up and saw Wan Shoushan.

"Brother Wan." She nodded. "How can you have time to come here?"

"Coincidentally I"m not that busy today. I plan to look around. Two days ago, Director Ji applied for sick leave, and I was just worried something had happened to you. Earlier, Director Ji told me over the phone that you had just recovered from the flu." Wan Shoushan smiled, took out a can of imported coffee and placed it on her desk. "My friend brought it back from abroad, I wonder if you like it. Why don"t you try it?"

Jiang Ruolan took the coffee and looked at it.

"Wow, this is expensive coffee. Brother Wan, it is better if you take it back and drink it yourself. I"m not used to drinking stuff like this. If you want to take care of me, just give me more work and let me get more salary. That"s the best way to take care of me." As she said this, Jiang Ruolan felt Sister Pan Yun, who was sitting on the desk behind her, giving her a meaningful look.

Wan Shoushan asked patiently, "Then what do you like?"

The women behind the desks let out faint sounds of sighs. They could only sigh at Wan Shoushan"s clear pursuit but did not dare to say anything else. They just stared at them with a pair of gossips eyes.

Wan Shoushan leaned against Jiang Ruolan"s desk and looked down at her seriously.

Jiang Ruolan touched her forehead and could only smile. She looked up at Wan Shoushan and felt helpless. It wasn"t good to say it out loud in front of the crowd, so she said in a roundabout way, "I like … a pet?"

"What pet do you like? A Teddy dog or a Persian cat?"

Wan Shoushan wanted to give her one no matter what she said.

At that time, Jiang Ruolan could answer honestly, "A giant panda."

Wan Shoushan"s face froze for a moment, but he didn"t get angry from being fooled by her. Instead, he smiled and stroked her head. "Naughty."

Sighs rose again.

Jiang Ruolan embarra.s.sedly avoided it, "Brother Wan, I"ll take this can of coffee. Go back to your work."

"Alright, what do you want to eat tonight?" he asked before left.

Facing the eyes of her colleagues, who like wolves waiting to pounce on their prey, Jiang Ruolan hesitated to reject Wan Shoushan"s offer in front of them. Her mouth twitched, before she said in a depressed tone, "Brother Wan, I don"t eat dinner. I am losing weight."

He looked at her again. Then he left. After that, the office was in a frenzy. A group of women ran over to Jiang Ruolan and asked, "Wow, Ruolan, I heard back then when you just graduated and started your internship at our company, Brother Wan taking care of you. At that time, there were rumors in our company that Brother Wan was interested in you, but it seems like it"s true."

"No, he and my brother have a good relationship, so he took care of me." Jiang Ruolan explained and ignored the looks of disbelief from the other women and walked out of the office with the doc.u.ments.

In the evening, Wan Shoushan was going to take her to dinner when she got off work. Luckily, Yi Meixiu was crying and waiting for her at the company"s entrance. Wan Shoushan knew that she needed someone to accompany her due to her heartbreak, so he didn"t make things difficult for Jiang Ruolan and let her go first.

Most women in this era would choose to vent their anger on the KTV, but this time, Jiang Ruolan didn"t give Yi Meixiun any face and indulged in her wishes. She drank fruit juice instead of wine. She had just been discharged from the hospital and she had just gotten pregnant for the first time, so she didn"t dare to take her body lightly anymore.

Around 10 pm, Jiang Ruolan supported Yi Meixiu, who was drunk out of KTV. Since she lived near the tax bureau, Jiang Ruolan took a taxi and sent her back. Just as she got out of the car and was about to support Yi Meixiu, she suddenly heard someone calling out her name from behind.

"Miss Jiang!"

She turned around and saw it was a.s.sistant Bai.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned, "a.s.sistant Bai? It"s so late. What are you doing here?"

Since she had nowhere to run, Jiang Ruolan could only greet her.

"The F City Tax Commissioner invited President Xian to have a chat. He is at a nearby hotel. President Xian will be out soon." a.s.sistant Bai pointed at the black Land Rover next to her.

Only then did Jiang Ruolan notice that she was standing behind Xian Zihao"s car.

"Sigh, something has happened in all major tax bureaus recently. The head of the City F tax bureau and President Xian used to be friends, and they wanted President Xian to help them solve the problem, but the hole they made this time was too big, and they also wanted to draw us with them."

a.s.sistant Bai was talking to her when she suddenly turned her head and shouted towards the front of the car, "President Xian."

Jiang Ruolan"s heart tightened. Since the Land Rover was tall and big, she didn"t notice Xian Zihao"s arrival at all when she stood behind it, and he probably didn"t notice her existence as well.

He said to a.s.sistant Bai in a stern voice, "Go and check out who transferred H City"s funds to the F City tax bureau tomorrow. Also, inform the office that I want to do a video conference tonight! Hurry up!"

Then, with a bang, Xian Zihao got in the car and slammed the door shut.

a.s.sistant Bai looked at him and then looked at Jiang Ruolan.

a.s.sistant Bai stood there, hesitating on whether she should remind Xian Zihao that his wife was standing right behind the car. However, his serious att.i.tude made her afraid to speak anymore. a.s.sistant Bai smiled helplessly at Jiang Ruolan, then turned around and walked back to her car.

Jiang Ruolan stood behind the car, not moving.

She thought that this was a good thing. She didn"t want to see Xian Zihao and meeting with him again after her parting words made the situation a little awkward.

Moments later, the black Land Rover started to move. The taillights came on, and the heat from the exhaust went straight to her feet, and then, with a loud bang, the car rolled forward.

Jiang Ruolan secretly calmed herself down and said goodbye to him in her heart. Then, she turned around and left while supporting Yi Meixiu.

However, the car that had moved forward less than five meters suddenly stopped abruptly.
