Chapter 330 - Helping Xiong Ruogang II

"I asked other friends, and they also said that Director Fang was very difficult to deal with. I was not sure how difficult it was to deal with him, and I was afraid that I couldn"t do it, that"s why I asked Little Lin to follow me, but in the end, she also seemed very afraid of this Director Fang and refused to accompany me."

"Then, I thought of you. So I called you and asked you to help me, but if I knew that the Construction Bureau had a secretary like this, I would not have asked you to help me! Not only we didn"t get the news, but we also were kicked out!" Xiong Ruogang muttered with regret and her eyes full of anxiety.

"You have never met many people, and you will after a long time. No matter how difficult the task is, there will always be a way for you to get an interview. The world is a great place with many miracles and with little setbacks. Just consider this as a trivial matter, so in the future, you already know what to do."

"I"m afraid you"ll get tired. You"re pregnant." Xiong Ruogang pushed her gla.s.s on the bridge of her nose.

"Pregnancy is not a reason for me to do nothing." Jiang Ruolan looked at the time and said, "I just heard from the secretary that today is the birthday of Director Fang"s daughter. Go and find out who she is and whether there"s a birthday banquet or not. It"s best if we can find out where Director Fang will be tonight. If there"s a feast, we can go and take a look at it and interview him while he"s still in a good mood."

Xiong Ruogang nodded and quickly called her colleagues to investigate. Jiang Ruolan walked to the side of the road and wanted to open her car door when suddenly a red BMW stopped in front of her, and a slim figure descended from the car.

That woman was wearing stylish and luxurious clothes with Herm"s latest sungla.s.ses on her face. Apparently, she was about to go to the Construction Bureau. She hurriedly walked towards the Construction Bureau Building while answering the phone.

"No, I can"t. Director Fang"s daughter is celebrating her birthday at 25 Hazel tonight. I have to go to accompany my dad. I will go with you tomorrow. There is no need to be in a hurry."

She only stopped for a moment when she was pa.s.sing by Xiong Ruogang. She glanced at her through her sungla.s.ses, as if she felt that she (Xiong Ruogang) looked familiar, but also as if she had thought of something because not long after that, she rolled her eyes at Xiong Ruogang and walked into the Construction Bureau.

Xiong Ruogang also heard what that woman said on the phone, and couldn"t help but turn to look at Jiang Ruolan, who was standing beside the car. "Sis Jiang, isn"t that Ling Fei"er, the vixen? She just said that Director Fang"s daughter would be celebrating her birthday at 25 Hazel tonight!"

Jiang Ruolan didn"t expect that Ling Fei"er would help her by chance, so she could only smile, glanced back at her (Ling Fei"er) faded figure, and said indifferently. "No wonder the Ling Family is so close to the Construction Bureau recently. It turns out that Chairman Ling had set up his precious daughter to work at the Construction Bureau. He is really smart, and half of the Construction Bureau is already part of the Ling Group"s strength, and now he wants to turn the Construction Bureau into his trump card as well."

"That"s right! So it is not strange that Director Fang will invite Chairman Ling to his daughter"s birthday banquet. No wonder Director Fang is so hard to deal with, that"s because he has a great backer!" Xiong Ruogang couldn"t help but sigh.

Now that Ling Group was under the government"s protection, even though Xian Zihao wants to touch them, it was difficult for him to do so. No wonder that from the beginning, he only attacked the Construction Bureau and slowly extended his power to the Ling Group.

"But Sis Jiang, you are family members of the Xian Family. When these people see you, they will at least treat you with respect, right?"

Xiong Ruogang"s words were true, but she was too naive. Currently, Xian Zihao was working step by step to unravel all their secrets. Even if he didn"t make a big move, bad guys like Lin Dingxiang might have realized it. Since they were so calm recently, it was clear that they were afraid Xian Zihao would do something.

Jiang Ruolan told Xiong Ruogang to return to the company first to do the preparatory work, and then she will wait for her at 25 Hazel.

It seemed that tonight"s birthday banquet was not small at all. Jiang Ruolan also received a call from the company just now and found out that Director Fang"s daughter was in her twenties. She was the daughter adopted by Director Fang earlier this year.

In this world, the relationship between adopted daughter and father … It goes without saying.

Jiang Ruolan sat in the car, staring at the people coming and going in 25 Hazel.

While Jiang Ruolan was waiting, she couldn"t help but get lost in thought. She had almost forgotten the first time she did an interview when she had just started her internship.

Who was the person she was interviewing and with whom she was interviewing? How many cold faces had she seen? How many good words had she said? How many times had she smiled?

She forgot all about that. She could only remember the excitement and nervousness she felt when she was still young.

But now, it was unknown when it had started, but the nature of all her work had become mechanical. The mechanical language, the mechanical smile, even the opening speech became unfamiliar, and she no longer had to be careful as her expectations gradually diminished. All these interviews had turned into simple or complicated tasks.

It was just an interview. Where she was going and with whom had nothing to do with it.

Like the phrase saying, "When you become an intern, you try to become a regular employee. Then you feel like you"ve grown up, and when you really become a member of this society, you find out that you"ve lost all the fun of your life. All that remained was a quick and the same tempo. You will quickly solve the problem in front of you, and then face the next challenge."

At 7 o"clock in the evening, Xiong Ruogang finally arrived with the interview equipment. Although 25 Hazels were restricted to guests, Jiang Ruolan was recognized by the Head of Audit as soon as she entered the hotel"s front door. After a few exchanges of words, the security guards did not dare to stop her, nor did he dare to check if she had been invited, so they let her in.

In the hotel lobby with a lovely setting, there were many great guests present. Jiang Ruolan pulled Xiong Ruogang in the corner to avoid attracting attention. She just wanted to see where Director Fang was.

"Hey, Sis Jiang, over there!" Xiong Ruogang had seen Director Fang"s photos before, so she knew Director Fang at a glance. He stood with a young woman in front of the cake table.

As she turned around, a bartender almost collided with her. The bartender wanted to apologize, but when he saw Jiang Ruolan"s face, he seemed to be in shock for a moment before he hurriedly turned around and walked away.

"Sis Jiang, are you alright?!" Xiong Ruogang reached out her hand to help her up.

Jiang Ruolan shook her head. She remembered the bartender"s expression just now and felt uncomfortable. She whispered, "Let"s go see Director Fang before the party starts. We have to interview him and leave this place as soon as possible!"

She could clearly feel that although many dignitaries were present tonight, most of them had a close relationship with the Ling Family. The various powers within the government were already in chaos, while Xian Zihao was actually the target of their guard. Furthermore, she should not stay here for long.

Someone said something to Director Fang before he left.

Before the birthday banquet, Director Fang whispered a few words to the young girl beside him, causing that woman to keep laughing. It seemed like she was the star of the show tonight. However, Director Fang seemed to have something on his mind.

He turned around and walked to the left. Jiang Ruolan and Xiong Ruogang used this opportunity to walk in front of him directly.

"I"m sorry to bother you at a time like this, but we went to the Construction Bureau during the day to interview you. We found out that you have been too busy lately and are not often at the Construction Bureau, so we don"t have options other than coming to this place." Jiang Ruolan went straight to the point and quickly conveyed the reason for her visit.

Director Fang was not surprised to see her. A strange emotion flashed in his eyes, but his expression was not too cold. He looked at her with a fake smile. "Miss Jiang, I presume."

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. She immediately put on a smile that seemed more natural. "Director Fang knows me?"

"I just heard that Young Madam Xian has come to interview me, but I didn"t expect you to suddenly rush out like this. Miss Jiang, you"re really a member of the Xian Family. You"re really a maverick." Director Fang smiled and held out his hand.

Jiang Ruolan thought of the situation first, and then patiently shook Director Fang"s hand. "Director Fang is too courteous. I"m not in the business world, it"s rare for me to be recognized so easily. I had interviewed you half a year ago. I don"t know if you still remember, but this time I don"t want to disturb you too much. I just want to get the first-hand news on the Construction Bureau project and hope it won"t be inconvenient for you."

"Sure, sure. Since that is Miss Jiang"s job, how can I refuse? But since it is a work matter, we can discuss it tomorrow. Tonight is my daughter"s birthday. Since Miss Jiang is here, why not sit down and have a good time?"

"It"s fine. Although Director Fang is amiable, but judging from my current physical condition, it"s really inconvenient. Since Director Fang has promised to give us some time tomorrow, then we will not bother you again." Jiang Ruolan smiled politely before turning to leave.

That bartender had just discovered her, and in the blink of an eye, Director Fang already knew she was here. If she stayed any longer, there might be some problems. Xian Zihao was now in Shanghai, and this was an excellent opportunity for these people to attack her.
