Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Crisis Approaching (8)

What does it mean by chasing after her? It was clear he had something in mind, but couldn’t find an excuse, and suddenly, her presence became a convenient pretext.

In the end, he was just an emotionally capricious little kid.

So Mrs. Xiao told Mr. Da Bai,

"I think your dad really cares about you."

What she implied was, you don’t need to use me as an excuse to help your dad.

Xiao Yebai ran his fingertips over the text message she had sent, remaining silent for quite some time.

Did she really understand him so well, perhaps because of their physical intimacy?

The issue was that his old man didn’t understand him as well as she did.

Xiao Yebai snorted coldly.

Gu Nuan knew the little kid was being moody again, see, not replying to her message for so long, only to suddenly send her this irrelevant remark,

"The bag I packed for you, make sure to use it well."

Speaking of that ostentatious bag, it was obvious that this playboy deserved a spanking.

Gu Nuan had wanted to send an emoji expressing her annoyance, but when her fingers touched the words "use it well" that he had written, she turned her head and looked again at the flamboyant bag he had prepared for her, a layer of contemplation suddenly reflected in her eyes.

The door clicked open, as Zhong Qiaohui and the others came back early because of a company dinner tonight. Upon returning, Zhong Qiaohui brought some news, "Director Chen seems to be unable to join us tonight."

Gu Nuan narrowed her eyes, only remembering that on the way back to the hotel, Chen Jiaming’s mood seemed quite good.

After all, he had secured such a high-profile project, and upon his return to the headquarters, it was guaranteed to be a notable addition to his personal achievements. In fact, he was just waiting to go back and reap the rewards and glory.

Chen Jiaming’s mood was initially very good, and he was elated, feeling like he was about to puff out his chest in pride. That was, until someone suddenly called him.

The caller was Kang Junjia.

"Congratulations, Director Chen, you’ve truly performed a great service for Changda this time. The Chairman and the board of directors are all ecstatic today," said Kang Junjia with his first sentence.

But Chen Jiaming wasn’t swayed by the initial congratulations; his attention fixated on the latter part of the message, which was key.

Could Xiao Jianming truly be happy about him securing this big project? Impossible, right?

If Chen Jiaming did well, it was a slap in the face to Xiao Jianming’s son.

"You all know already?" Chen Jiaming was surprised at how well-informed they were.

"How could we not know? The confirmation fax from Tengguang has been sent to our finance department," Kang Junjia explained.

Chen Jiaming remembered there was such a procedure. He had wanted to keep it under wraps and surprise everyone at his return.

As though knowing what Chen Jiaming was thinking, Kang Junjia chuckled and said, "Why hide such happy news? You really should learn from that kid, always eager to celebrate big accomplishments, as soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately reported the good news to his dad."

"Who are you talking about?" Chen Jiaming’s hair bristled at once.

"Wasn’t the Chairman struggling with a piece of port land in City C?"

City C, just a few hundred kilometers away from their current City D, was entirely different in nature. City C was a directly-administered city with a population of over ten million, while City D was just a provincial capital.

It could be said that securing land in City C was like acquiring a treasure trove, a completely different level compared to City D.

A bucket of cold water, through Kang Junjia’s words, was poured over Chen Jiaming’s head.

"Are you saying he secured that piece of port land in City C?" Chen Jiaming expressed serious doubt. How could that place, even Xiao Jianming couldn’t secure, be within reach of the playboy? What capability did he have to get his hands on that piece of land?
