Chapter 115: Leaving Zhao Qingxue Far Behind

  The phone was called by Su Yu, and Ning Fan answered it immediately.

  "Brother-in-law, are you still at Qingyun Building? Have you seen Mayor Ye and the others?" Su Yu asked somewhat anxiously as soon as the call connected.

  "I was at the door, they were too, um, no, they just got on the car and left." Ning Fan saw Ye Rou and Wu Yi had just gotten into their Range Rover, "What's going on? Did they leave without negotiating?"

  It's been less than ten minutes since he left, and it seems unlikely that negotiations could be completed in such a short time, so he guessed that Ye Rou probably didn't negotiate with Zhang Yang either.

  "That's not it, Mayor Ye directly set a condition that the government must have controlling shares in this project. But you told me before that we must be in control and lead the development. As soon as Zhang said no, they just left, saying they'll wait for us to agree to this condition before discussing other things." Su Yu's tone was somewhat helpless, "Brother-in-law, what Zhang means is, since you know Mayor Ye, why not negotiate with him privately again."

  "Alright, I'll handle this." Ning Fang felt a bit depressed. That weird negotiation method was indeed very weird. Who negotiates like that, directly making the conditions so rigid?

  In fact, Ning Fan didn't care about who controlled the shares originally. After all, things like profits had nothing to do with him. The problem was that he really didn't trust the government to take the lead in development, so he made this request. This way, he could truly supervise the entire process and prevent the Half Mountain Waterfall, which was like a paradise on earth, from being destroyed.

  He originally thought that with the reputation of Qingxue Group, the government of Qingyun City should agree to this request. Unexpectedly, the negotiation has become Ye Rou, and Ning Fan still can't figure out how Ye Rou became the representative of the municipal government.

  He hung up the phone and Ning Fan decided not to think too much about it for now, he would deal with it when he got home. As for whether or not he should go across the street to negotiate with Ye Rou after getting home, he hadn't made a decision yet.

  Under the gaze of countless men's envy, Ning Fan rode his Harley and drove away from Qingyun Building. When he was halfway there, his phone rang again.

  Stopping by the side of the road, Ning Fan took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Zhang Zhengguo.

  "Hello, Secretary Zhang." Ning Fan answered the phone quickly.

  "Xiao Ning, are you free now? I'd like to come visit you." Zhang Zhengguo said straightforwardly.

  "Secretary Zhang, you're looking for me? Is there something I can help you with?" Ning Fan hesitated for a moment, "If it's something important, I can go to your place, but actually, we could have just talked about it over the phone."

  "Xiao Ning, I'll get straight to the point. It's actually about the Qingxue Group's investment. I just received news that you're now a representative of the Qingxue Group. I'd like to discuss specific investment matters with you in person." Zhang Zhengguo quickly made his intentions clear.

  "Secretary Zhang, speaking of this matter, I also have a question. Does the municipal government necessarily need to control and lead the development?" Ning Fan originally didn't plan on finding Zhang Zhengguo, but since Zhang Zhengguo took the initiative to find him, he might as well mention it.

  "Xiao Ning, it's like this. Because we're worried about chaotic development by investors, the government usually wants to take the lead. In previous developments, we also took the lead, but this time there are some exceptions. On one hand, we trust Qingxue Group a lot and their investment is huge, so we don't completely require controlling shares. We just hope to impose some restrictions on development in the contract." Zhang Zhengguo replied.

  Finally, Zhang Zhengguo sighed: "Xiao Ning, you are a local of Qingyun Mountain, and you should also understand that the development of tourism in Qingyun Mountain is beneficial to our entire city. In recent years, the tourism industry in Qingyun Mountain has reached a bottleneck, and it can be said that now is the time when we urgently need a large investor like Qingshuang Group to develop it. I sincerely hope you can facilitate this matter."

  "Director Zhang, how could you let Ye Rou represent the government in negotiations? She insists on the government having a controlling stake, but our side also hopes to have control. It's hard to come to an agreement this way." Ning Fan spoke directly without beating around the bush.

  "Really?" Zhang Zheng's tone was somewhat unexpected. "Mayor Ye hasn't told me about this matter, I don't quite understand the specific situation yet. How about this, Xiao Ning? I'll first ask Mayor Ye to understand the situation and then call you back later?"

  "That's it, then. I'll trouble Secretary Zhang with this." Ning Fan naturally had no objections to this.

  After hanging up the phone with Zhang Zhengguo, Ning Fan continued to drive towards Qingyun No. 1 Villa District, and in his heart, he was also secretly scolding Ye Rou for being such a weirdo, making a fuss all day, was it her own decision?

  Ten minutes later, Ning Fan returned to the Qingyun No. 1 Villa District and had just parked his motorcycle in front of Villa No. 9 when his phone rang again.

  He took out his mobile phone, but Ning Fan was taken aback for a moment. He had thought that the call was from Zhang Zhengguo, but the number displayed on the screen, 502, told him that the call was actually from Zhao Qingxue.

  Ning Fan had a moment of stunned expression, although he had spoken to Zhao Qingxue several times on the phone, but this was the first time she had called him, and it also meant that something unusual was happening.

  After hesitating for a moment, Ning Fan still answered the phone.

  "Anything wrong?" Ning Fan asked calmly.

  "What's your relationship with Ye Rou?" The clear and moving voice came, it was Zhao Qingxue.

  "Does this have nothing to do with you?" Ning Fan always felt that there was a hint of inquiry in the voice on the other end of the phone, and this made him very dissatisfied. He didn't think Zhao Qingxue had the qualifications to interfere with his private affairs.

  "I don't want to interfere with your private matters, but I think it's necessary to remind you that it's best to keep a distance from Ye Rou. Every man who gets close to her ends up badly." Zhao Qingxue finished speaking and hung up the phone.

  Ning Fan slightly furrowed his brow, Zhao Qingxue and Ye Rou, seemed familiar?

  At this moment, Ning Fan also remembered that Ye Rou had asked him about his relationship with Zhao Qingxue before. It seemed that the two not only knew each other but their relationship might not be good either.

  As for Zhao Qingxue's reminder, Ning Fang didn't take it to heart. It wasn't that he didn't believe what she said; he basically confirmed that what Zhao Qingxue said was true. Unfortunately, Zhao Qingxue didn't know that even if he kept a distance of 100,000 miles from Ye Rou, that unknown son of a bitch wouldn't let him off the hook.

  The phone rang again soon after, and this time it was Zhang Zhengguo who called.

  "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry. I previously promised Mayor Ye that she would be fully in charge of the negotiations, so now it's not convenient for me to ask her to follow my ideas." Zhang Zhengguo's tone was full of apology and some helplessness.

  "Secretary Zhang, I'll talk to her myself." Ning Fan knew it wasn't that simple. Zhang Zhengguo was probably unable to change Ye Rou's mind, and Ye Rou's powerful background also made Zhang Zhengguo powerless against her. However, Ning Fan wouldn't expose Zhang Zhengguo's excuse.

  "Xiao Ning, I'm afraid this matter will require you to put in more effort." Zhang Zhengguo didn't say much else and quickly hung up the phone.

  Two unusually enticing long legs appeared in Ning Fan's line of sight. Ning Fan put away his phone, looked up and saw extremely sexy nudity.

  He looked at Ning Fang with a very strange gaze and suddenly blurted out: "Are you a man?"

  "What?" Ning Fan was momentarily unable to react.

  "If you were a man, you shouldn't have left Yeru's room last night." said Wu Yi Dan.

  Ning Fan finally understood what Wu Yi was saying, and for a moment he felt somewhat annoyed, so he said in a bad tone: "Am I a man or not? Do you want to try?"

  As soon as he said this, Ning Fan suddenly felt a sense of unease. In his subconscious mind, he seemed to have some thoughts about Wu Yi. If it was Wu Yi instead of Ye Rou in the bedroom last night, would he still leave?

  "I've tried already." Wu Yi said calmly, "The night before last, when you saved me, you kissed me for several hours. Although I wasn't fully awake at the time, my clothes kept a record, and the record shows that you didn't have even half of a normal man's reaction."

  Ning Fan was suddenly at a loss for words, he was busy saving people, where did he have the mood to think about other things?

  But now, being reminded by Wu Yi, Ning Fang couldn't help but recall the situation at that time. Although Wu Yi was almost completely wrapped in that strange silver-gray clothing, Ning Fang had truly felt her extremely soft and warm lips, as well as her surprisingly elastic body. At this moment, this feeling involuntarily swept over him, causing Ning Fang's heart to beat slightly faster.

  "According to the records, your heart rate has accelerated. It seems you still have a reaction." Wu Yi suddenly added another sentence, "I'm starting to admire your control now."

  Ning Fan's mind was suddenly cleared of all distractions as he stared at Wu Yi's clothes, which seemed to be made of an unknown material. He couldn't help but ask, "What is your clothing made of?"

  From the first day he saw Wu Yi, Ning Fang felt that Wu Yi's clothes were problematic. At the time, he only thought there was a problem with the material, but two nights ago, he discovered that after Wu Yi was seriously injured, his clothes completely protected him, and after he recovered from his injuries, his clothes suddenly returned to normal on their own. Ning Fang then began to realize that this garment was not just unusual in terms of its material.

  "Don't ask me, I don't know either." Wu Yi said faintly: "I only know that the material is very rare, and there's no second piece of clothing like this in the world. I also know one more thing, which is that this piece of clothing is far more valuable than me."

  How much is this dress worth?

  Ning Fan didn't know, but Ning Fan thought that without mentioning her ability and identity, just her face and figure alone were priceless treasures to men, and the value of that dress was self-evident.

  "What's your relationship with Zhao Qingxue?" Wu Yi suddenly asked, and this question was also asked by Ye Rou not long ago.

  "I'm not familiar with her." Ning Fan replied calmly after taking a slight breath.

  "Ye Rou won't believe your answer." Wu Yi shook his head.

  "Does she believe it or not, what's it got to do with me?" Ning Fan retorted.

  "I'm just stating a fact. Besides, Ye Rou asked me to tell you something." Wu Yi smiled faintly, "She told you to stay away from Zhao Qingxue."
