182 Challenge, The Interesting Things That He Has Yet to See (1/2)
When he was leaving Beijing, he indeed had various means and methods. However, after meeting Wang Yao, he realized that most of the methods were not suitable, and it was necessary for him to think of other ways.
”At such a young age, he actually has the aura of ancient hermits. It is really rare and also really troublesome!”
”Money, fame, beauty—do we have to try each of them individually? But we don't have the time!”
…
Qi Province, Jizhou City.
”Uncle He, what do you think we should do?” Guo Sirou was stressing over the matter.
”Explain the situation to him directly,” He Qisheng replied while standing at one side.
”If we do that he won't go to Beijing. Xiao Xue's illness has already reached a critical point!” Guo Sirou lamented.
”It's precisely because of this that there is a need to tell him the truth. Only then will there be a sliver of a chance. Otherwise, we can only leave things be,” He Qisheng said.
Right from the start, he had actually suggested to this young miss to explain the situation of the ill-fated girl in Beijing to Wang Yao. After his various interactions with Wang Yao, it could be said that he somewhat understood Wang Yao's personality. He was a person who would not be pushed around by force. Furthermore, Wang Yao was like an ancient recluse and harbored a deep mistrust for anyone who attempted to use money or beautiful things to move him. It was therefore much better to deal with him with sincerity.
”You mean I should explain Xiao Xue's condition to him?”
”Yes, just tell him.”
”But I already promised the Su Family,” Guo Sirou said. She did not see herself any less than men and highly valued the honor of her words. This could be seen through what she had promised Wang Yao.
”Things are already at this stage. The Su Family will only thank you if it works. Even if it doesn't, based on Wang Yao's personality, he definitely won't divulge this matter.”
”Okay, to Lianshan I go!” Without a moment of hesitation, Guo Sirou made her decision.
…
Lianshan County.
”Someone is looking for me?” Wang Ru looked at the two men in front of her.
”I don't recognize either of them.”
”Hello, are you Miss Wang Ru?” Chen Boyuan asked respectfully.
”I am. You are?”
”My name is Chen Boyuan. Could I take up a few minutes of your time?”
”Okay.”
In a few short sentences, Wang Ru understood their purpose of coming.
”You want to invite my brother to treat a patient?”
”Yes, but he refused because he did not know us,” Chen Boyuan said.
”But I don't know you either.”
”Then, we can call over another person to be our guarantor.”
As he spoke, another middle-aged man got out of the car outside. He was of average build and was a little plump.
”Hello, colleague Wang Ru.”
Wang Ru was stunned.
”Who is this?!”
”Huh?!”
Chen Boyuan was stunned too.
”It can't be?”
”Vice-mayor Liu, what brings you here?!” At this moment, another balding middle-aged man ran over.
”You are?”
”I am Lianshan County's Agriculture Bureau's deputy director, Yang Geyan!”
”Oh, hello.”
”Vice-mayor Liu?!” Wang Ru was stunned after hearing that. The respectful demeanor her deputy director was showing, bowing and nodding his head seemed real enough. Then, what kind of power must these two people have to be able to move such people of Vice-mayor Liu's status to act as their guarantor?
”Vice-mayor Liu, did you come to the Agricultural Bureau to observe the work here?” Yang Geyan asked. ”You didn't seem to mention that you were coming?”
”No, I'm here for personal matters. You can go on with what you were busy with.”
”Okay, then I'll get back to work.” Yang Geyan did not dare to dally. However, he could not help but glance at Wang Ru. What relationship does Wang Ru have with Vice-mayor Liu?
”Miss Wang, how about it?” Chen Boyuan said.
He had originally planned to have Vice-mayor Liu, who managed Haiqu City's agriculture department, to act as a guarantor, as well as to show off his power. In the end, however, he never expected to meet someone who, although working in the agricultural department, did not recognize the vice-mayor. Truthfully, Wang Ru could not be blamed. Even if it were some other normal employee in the Agricultural Bureau, it was likely that they too would not recognize Vice-mayor Liu. Their positions were too different from Chen Boyuan, and they paid attention to different things.
”Give me some time to consider.” Looking at the powerful man in front of her, Wang Ru could not be as heedless as her brother.
”Colleague Wang Ru, I can guarantee that they are not suspicious individuals,” Vice-mayor Liu chimed in.
”Quick, look! That person…”
”Hey, it is Vice-mayor Liu, isn't it?”
”He's talking to Wang Ru. Do they know each other?”
”I say, that seemingly ordinary person is really lucky, getting a sudden pay rise and then a promotion. I wonder what sort of backing she has!”
”Could she be somebody's mistress?”
”Don't talk nonsense!”
Wang Ru naturally could hear these colleagues talking nonsense in the office. Wang Ru wondered how her brother, who was always cooped up in the mountains and fields, managed to attract the attention of these people who were so much more powerful than they were. It was to the extent that they could move a vice-mayor to be their guarantor. She also thought back to how they had come looking for her. It couldn't be that they had visited the house and was refused by her brother that made them look for her in search of a loophole, could it?
In an instant, she thought about numerous possibilities.
”Colleague Wang Ru, do work hard,” Vice-mayor Liu said before quickly making his move. He then bade farewell to Chen Boyuan in a respectful manner before taking his leave.
”My apologies for troubling you.” Chen Boyuan also detected that things weren't going as well as he had planned.
