"Village Chief, what's wrong with you?" One of his subordinates heard the noise and hurried into the house and asked.

"It's over, it's all over." Qin Minghao muttered to himself, "Our people have all been caught by Jiang Chen. ”

"What?" The subordinate was shocked, "How is this possible?" Isn't our plan foolproof? ”

"Foolproof?" Qin Minghao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How can there be a foolproof plan in this world?" Jiang Chen's kid is very cunning, we should have thought that he would be guarded against it. ”

The subordinates were speechless and could only stand aside silently. He knew that it was too late to say anything, that they were already in a desperate situation.

Qin Minghao was silent for a moment, and suddenly stood up suddenly: "No, I can't just sit still." I'm going to find a way to save our people. ”

He walked outside, looked up at the dark night sky, and took a deep breath. He knew that the only way now was to go to Jiang Chen and beg for mercy, hoping that he could spare their people. Although it was humiliating to do so, he had to do it for the sake of the future of Qinjia Village.

Qin Minghao summoned all his subordinates and told them about this decision. The men were silent, they knew what it meant, but no one objected. They all knew that now they had no choice but to beg for mercy.

"Village Chief, have you really decided?" One of his subordinates couldn't help but ask.

"It's decided." Qin Minghao nodded firmly, "We'll go find Jiang Chen now." ”

Qin Minghao led his subordinates to Jiang Chen's residence. They stood outside the door, hesitating to enter. Qin Minghao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

The door opened, and Jiang Chen appeared in front of them. He looked at Qin Minghao and the others, with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh? Village Chief Qin, is there anything wrong with it so late? ”

Qin Minghao stiffened his head and said, "Jiang Chen, we are here to beg you for mercy. ”

"Begging for mercy?" Jiang Chen sneered, "Village Chief Qin, are you mistaken?" You must have surrendered to me, right? ”

Qin Minghao was so choked by Jiang Chen's words that he couldn't speak. He gritted his teeth and said in a reluctant voice: "Jiang Chen, I know that our operation failed this time, and it was our fault. But please hold up your noble hand and spare our people. ”

"Spare your people?" Jiang Chen looked at Qin Minghao playfully, "Then what's in it for me?" ”

"As long as you can spare our people, I am willing to promise you any conditions." Qin Minghao said eagerly.

"Any conditions?" Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Minghao, "Including letting your Qinjia Village withdraw from the renovation of the old city?" ”

Qin Minghao was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about this question before. But looking at Jiang Chen's aggressive gaze, he knew that he had no way out. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I promise you." As long as you can let our people go, our Qinjia Village will withdraw from the transformation of the old city. ”

"Okay, that's what you said." Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll let your people go back." But remember, don't get me in trouble in the future, or I won't be polite again. ”

After being busy, Jiang Chen decided to take a short vacation for himself and Tang Yanran, so he made an appointment at the restaurant that they both liked.

In the evening, the two of them went to their appointments as scheduled, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and pleasant, just in time for them to relax.

As soon as Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran sat down, they ordered a few signature dishes familiarly.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two chatted about their recent work and life.

Jiang Chen shared a few small anecdotes in the office, which made Tang Yanran laugh.

Tang Yanran talked about a yoga class she attended recently, saying that she felt that her body and mind had been stretched.

The dishes are served one after another, with good color, flavor and taste, which makes people have a great appetite.

Jiang Chen picked up a piece of fish meat, carefully removed the fish bones, and then put it in Tang Yanran's bowl.

Tang Yanran smiled and thanked her, picked up a piece of vegetables and put it on Jiang Chen's plate, and said, "You also have to eat more vegetables, so that the nutrition is balanced." ”

The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

They talked about topics of mutual interest, such as movies, music, travel, and other topics, and laughed heartily from time to time.

Occasionally, the waiters came over to refill water or ask about the taste of the dishes, but they were also polite and thoughtful, and did not disturb their conversation.

Halfway through eating, Tang Yanran suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Chen: "By the way, the project you mentioned last time, I think we can discuss it in depth." I have some new ideas and would like to hear from you. ”

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, so the two started a discussion on the topic of work.

Although it was meal time, their conversation did not become heavy or boring, but collided with new sparks because of each other's insights and ideas.

Towards the end of dinner, Jiang Chen proposed, "Why don't we go for a walk in the countryside on the weekend?" I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and the air is fresh. ”

Tang Yanran's eyes lit up, and she happily agreed: "Okay! I'm also trying to get out and breathe. Then we'll see you at the weekend! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them looking forward to a weekend trip.

Just as Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran were enjoying the food and relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked over.

His gaze swept sharply over Jiang Chen, and finally fixed on Tang Yanran's body, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yanran, is it really you?" He said in an agitated tone.

Tang Yanran raised her head, and when she saw the face of the person who came, her brows furrowed slightly.

She politely replied, "Well, it's me." Li Renhao, have you just returned to China? ”

Li Renhao nodded, but his gaze never left Tang Yanran's face.

He smiled and said, "yes, I just came back. Yanran, you are still so beautiful, it's really unforgettable. ”

Tang Yanran smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

She felt Jiang Chen's inquiring gaze, so she took the initiative to introduce: "Jiang Chen, this is my high school classmate Li Renhao. Li Renhao, this is my boyfriend, Jiang Chen. ”

Li Renhao heard Tang Yanran's introduction, and his face changed slightly.

He glanced at Jiang Chen quickly, and a wave of jealousy and dissatisfaction surged in his heart.

However, he quickly concealed his emotions and said to Jiang Chen with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Yanran's boyfriend, fortunately." ”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

He could feel Lee In-ho's hostility towards him, but he didn't care.

He believes in Tang Yanran's feelings for him, and he also believes that he can cope with any challenge.

Li Renhao didn't want to give up, he tried to find an opportunity to provoke Jiang Chen, wanting to show his strength and charm.

He deliberately said: "Yanran, I heard that you are working in a large company now, which is really enviable. Don't know where your boyfriend is? ”
