Chapter 281 - Interviewing Xian Zihao I

Jiang Ruolan sighed and finally told Wan Shoushan the full story without any hesitation. She roughly told him everything that had happened in H City, about her so-called ex-boyfriend, some general information about that half a year, and also about her work and experiences in Fengyu Media and the Department of Commerce.

Of course, some of the other people had been deliberately concealed by her and had not been mentioned at all.

She had also vaguely told him stories about the past. Stories of the past that were only known to a few people.

"Ruolan? Jiang Ruolan?" Wan Shoushan patted her hand. "What are you thinking about? You"re the one who got lost in the story first."

She smiled. "It"s nothing. I just remembered my past self."

"Jiang Ruolan, two years ago, with you by my side, you made me feel that everything was going smoothly. At that time, you had a boyfriend, so I have to avoid and suppress my feelings for you, but since you"re single now, it shouldn"t affect my pursuit, right?"

"I …"

However, Wan Shoushan"s tone suddenly changed, and before she could reject him, he mentioned about work, "Tomorrow, come with me to the Aerial Club."

"Aerial Club? Isn"t that the golf course that the upper cla.s.s used to go to? What are we doing there?" Jiang Ruolan didn"t understand.

"Recently, I contacted President Xian"s special team and found out that he does not have much time left to be here. However, he will be playing golf with other leaders tomorrow at the Aerial Club, so we need to take advantage of his free time tomorrow to get some simple interviews. President Xian is no ordinary man, even though we only got a few interviews, it was enough for our sales to skyrocket this week. We can"t miss it."

"Also, this time, you are not allowed to leave mysteriously. Last time, you rudely left in front of the hotel. I thought you did something, but then I found out that you were unwell and went to the hospital that night. Surely there is nothing wrong with your body this time? Don"t make any mistakes." As he said that, he lightly tapped her forehead, giving her a very patient reminder.

Jiang Ruolan bluntly refused, "Brother Wan, I"m worried that something might really happen because of me. You should ask Sister Pan Yun to go with you."

Wan Shoushan paused and looked at her. "What happened to you? You were not like this in the past. If we don"t take this opportunity, we will never get a second chance again."

"Brother Wan, if I go with you, I will definitely not be able to help you, let alone we will go to the golf course. If they invite us to play, I can"t play! I never even set foot in a golf club before. I will only make you lose face!"

"Aren"t I still here? No matter what happens, I will help you." Wan Shoushan winked at her, trying to rea.s.sure her.

"But I haven"t even seen those bosses once." Jiang Ruolan hurriedly found another excuse.

"Enough. No matter what you say, you still have to follow me. If you don"t go, I will a.s.sume you are not working and you will not even have a chance to be promoted. If I tell you to go, then go. Don"t let me say too much." With that, Wan Shoushan tapped her forehead once more, turned around, and walked inside.

"Brother Wan!" Jiang Ruolan wanted to call out to him, but he had already walked inside and wouldn"t give her the chance to refuse.

Inside, it was still very noisy, so she could only stop insisting. After a while, Xie Mei and another female colleague from the Department of Commerce came and whispered to her, "Ruolan, Brother w.a.n.g told you to go to the Aerial Club tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Ruolan looked at her doubtfully and nodded.

Xie Mei mysteriously asked, "Do you know why he doesn"t want to bring Sister Pan Yun along? Sister Pan Yun is an old employee from our Department of Commerce, but it is said that Sister Pan Yun"s husband is the current head of one of the newspaper companies, and he has always wanted to poach from us. Sister Pan Yun is actually borrowing the company"s power to get on good relations with the other leaders, and Brother Wan is on his guard against her. He previously said that he would bring you there, so you have to take care of me. You have to share a few things with me too."

So it was like that. No wonder although there was someone as capable as Sister Pan Yun in the Department of Commerce, Wan Shoushan never once promoted her. He didn"t even let her interfere in such an important interview.

The next day at the Aerial Club.

It was a fine day for the city, and it was warm and cloudless.

Since today"s job was different from her usual job, Jiang Ruolan did not want her clothes to be too restricted, so she wore blue jeans, a white shirt, and a pair of sports shoes. Her long hair was tied up.

As she got out of the car, she looked up at the mountain road specially built by the Aerial Club. Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips tightly when she saw a familiar black Land Rover parked in the parking lot not far away. Xie Mei was excitedly pointing at the scenery around the club.

This was a rare sight in F City. A few years ago, city leaders spent three hundred million to build a luxury clubhouse with facilities such as a chess room, a golf course, gym, swimming pools, and horse track.

Therefore, although F City was a second-tier city, this city still attracts regional officials and traders" attention.

The afternoon interview started at 3 o"clock. They arrived at 1 o"clock in the afternoon. On behalf of their press, Wan Shoushan greeted the leaders of a company and discussed some past issues until they were taken to the golf course.

Jiang Ruolan walked into the lounge and turned to look out the window, at the s.p.a.cious golf course. Xie Mei excitedly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Ruolan! Ruolan! Which one is President Xian?"

Wan Shoushan went out to make a phone call for a while, then came in and said, "We have to wait. President Xian and the others are still at the golf course. He will be here in an hour."

Jiang Ruolan got up and went to the washroom. She stood in front of the mirror for a moment to calm her mind. She secretly admonishes herself that she should use the most open-minded att.i.tude to get along with Xian Zihao. No need to overthink about it.

Since interviewing a businessman was one of her jobs and even if she didn"t meet Xian Zihao today, she would still have to meet him sooner or later.

The three of them waited in the lounge for about an hour, but no one saw Xian Zihao coming. Xie Mei panicked a little and asked if they were being joked. Wan Shoushan glared at her and told her not to talk too much.

At this moment, a staff member came over to explain, "I"m sorry, please wait a moment. President Xian was having a good chat with some leaders and might be a bit late. But don"t worry, he should be here soon."

Jiang Ruolan glanced at the time and knew that based on Xian Zihao"s perception of time, they wouldn"t have to wait very long.

Sure enough, at this moment, the door to the lounge opened. Xian Zihao walked in with a.s.sistant Bai following behind him.
