Chapter 1093: Chapter 565: Bridge Construction - Tang Wan Leaves_2

But now that he had been here for a while, he felt that after staggering around this bumpy construction site all day, by the time he went to bed in the evening, he surprisingly did not have the usual back pain or soreness. He could fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, without the previous problem of tossing and turning for a long time before falling asleep — It was a pity his spouse wasn’t here; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the chance to nag him at all.

When he got up at dawn, he felt completely relaxed — His age was not young anymore, and feeling this way in the morning really made his mood incredibly good for the whole day.

Even his students could feel it, here Professor Shu’s fiery temper was much better than before; at least his catchphrase "If it were the old days, students like you would have been punished severely" was said much less.

Alright then!

Actually, this change in him, and the enthusiastic atmosphere of the construction site, weren’t as closely related as he thought. It was because he was nourished with great meals every day, served good tea after meals, and had two glasses of Medicinal Wine at night — these were all products from the dinosaur world, which had an extraordinarily noticeable effect on rejuvenating his chronically fatigued body.

The chief engineer was in a good mood and full of energy, and the foremen were diligent too. If Yan Fei really wanted to leave for a few days, it really wasn’t a big deal — However, the downside of the rapid progress was that it could easily disrupt plans, such as delaying the trip until now.

This delay didn’t matter much, because Yan Fei indeed needed to go out now.

Not far, just to the city, for that small appreciation dinner hosted by the military.

Other places still experienced flooding, but for now, Wancheng City had no issues, and having a grand celebration now wasn’t appropriate anyway. It was just a gathering where the military leaders wanted to express their gratitude to the social figures who had supported the military construction during this period.

Once the flood was completely over, the city would definitely recognize those companies that had performed well during the flood relief efforts, but that was for later. The military folks just wanted to show their appreciation in advance.

Yan Fei made a trip, received a certificate of appreciation, and then seriously made his travel arrangements.

Miss Tang, who had been waiting here for so many days, was extremely frustrated. She felt that her coming here was sincere enough, and usually, when she personally took charge, she rarely faced such an almost complete rejection.

It wasn’t that she was overly confident, but she was quite aware of her own advantages — attractive and with strong public relations skills. If she encountered a lust-driven boss or those young masters, they simply couldn’t withstand a few charming words and seductive glances from her.

But the Boss Yan she met now was truly impervious to flattery and persuasion.

She spent two days with Xu Xiaoyan and realized this girl might as well not have gone to college — weren’t women of the new era supposed to be independent and have their own opinions? Moreover, what era was it now, and how could there still be such women who adhered to the old-fashioned virtues of obedience to their husbands?

Miss Tang tried her best to get Xu Xiaoyan to say a few good words to Yan Fei, but this girl was stubborn, repeating only one line: "Whatever he does, I just watch; it’s not good for me to say much. It’s all his business, and he would be angry if I interfered..."

And if Tang Wan pushed her too hard, she would simply say, "Shall I just go back? Don’t waste your time with me!"

Miss Tang considered herself quite attractive, but if she were a glamorous and fiery red rose, Miss Xu Xiaoyan was like a white lotus standing quietly amidst the endless green leaves in a lotus pond.

Besides, facing another woman, even if Miss Tang was fiery, what use was it?

And Boss Yan was like a blind man, completely blind to her sultriness, her resentment, her sorrow — especially when displaying the last two attitudes, Miss Tang felt she had already humbled herself enough, but faced with a Boss Yan whose eyes saw no one but Xu Xiaoyan, her mournfulness and sorrow were utterly useless!

As for Yingjun, who brought her here, he had been dealt with by Heizi’s crew once and now immersed himself daily at the construction site, completely absorbed in pursuing a female student and oblivious to external affairs, having long put her out of his mind— Master Chen was not particularly compatible with such a high-maintenance woman to begin with, and being self-aware that he was a child doomed to be cut off from a vast family fortune, he was simply from a different world compared to a miss born with a silver spoon.

Thus, he was solely devoted, pursuing his own "happiness," as for Miss Tang, after he had taken the risk of offending Boss Yan by bringing her here, there was no way he would do more.

In this situation, the sizzling Miss Tang, aside from garnering a collection of envious looks here in Tanghe County, gained nothing.

She was aware too that she wasn’t particularly welcomed — why stay if she wasn’t appreciated?

Just as she was about to leave, she still wasn’t ready to give up and approached Yan Fei again, "Boss Yan, I’ve thought of a perfect solution. Could I take a moment of your time to discuss it?"

Her intention to leave was clear, and Yan Fei was in a great mood, so he quickly agreed to her last little request.

"Here’s what I’m thinking, since you’re not planning to sell your black pearl, could you consider renting it out? Don’t rush, let me explain slowly!"

"I can pay a rental fee, using money or other items that definitely exceed the value of your black pearl as collateral to borrow it. If you agree, we can also process it for free."

"You can trust us, we are professionals in this field. We absolutely won’t damage the original quality of the black pearl. We just want to make it into a simple pendant. And the matching jewelry needed for it would all be provided for free. All you need to do is let me take it to the jewelry exhibition at the end of the year."

"I can guarantee with the reputation of the Tang Family that we will not covet your item. After the exhibition, I will personally bring people to return the black pearl to you. What do you think?"

As Tang Wan spoke, the queen-like demeanor she usually carried was gone. Her large eyes stared at Yan Fei, her eyelashes fluttering furiously—she really wished she could electrify him, to knock this unyielding man out cold, but that was just wishful thinking.

Yan Fei completely ignored her performance, thought for a moment with his head down, and then in her hopeful gaze, he calmly uttered two words, "No way!"

Fortunately, considering the fun couple of days she had spent with Xu Xiaoyan, Boss Yan kindly added, "That thing, my wife didn’t want it, and I have no use for it myself, I don’t even know where I threw it."

Tang Wan stared fixedly at Yan Fei’s expression, and eventually sighed helplessly in her heart.

If it had been anyone else, she would have thought it was an excuse, but she had come to understand Boss Yan over these few days. Such seemingly unreliable actions—he really could do them.

Still unwilling to give up, she raised another issue, "Boss Yan, I have another inappropriate request..."

"Since it’s an inappropriate request, why do you still have to say it? What if I refuse again? That would be so embarrassing!" Yan Fei said emotionlessly, cutting her off directly.

Listening to how he spoke, it wasn’t a case of ’what if’ he refused; it was clear he was definitely going to refuse.

Miss Tang was frustrated, "Boss Yan, can’t you let me finish my sentence? Can’t you understand what courtesy is?"

Yan Fei was about to say something when his expression suddenly relaxed, and he chuckled, "Alright, alright, you speak... "

Miss Tang didn’t feel her appeal had suddenly increased due to his change of attitude—instead, she felt even more despair.

Because Boss Yan’s change of attitude was clearly because she had raised her voice a bit, and Xu Xiaoyan, who was not far away, had probably heard his voice and casually glanced over here.

Just because of that glance, his attitude suddenly changed.

Could the difference between people really be that great?

Miss Tang even felt a bit jealous of that silly country girl...

Both were beauties, and she didn’t think she was much less attractive than that silly girl! Yet, here she was, thick-skinned after spending several days here, now about to leave, and speaking almost in a pleading tone, and still, she wasn’t as effective as that silly girl’s casual glance?

Could this conversation even continue?
