"Oh, maybe it was because President Xian was on the plane when you called him."

"He's on a business trip?"

"Yes, recently there have been some important meetings and projects in some big cities in Beijing that require President Xian's presence. He also needs to attend some large-scale city construction exhibitions. He will not be able to return to H City until next month. As for the matter of the alleyway at the end of the Qing Dynasty, since President Xian didn't tell you about it, then there might be a reason for that, so it's not convenient for me to reveal it to you, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ruolan frowned, but she understood Secretary Du. As a CEO secretary, he had to follow instructions from the big boss, so she didn't make it difficult. She said, "I understand your difficulties, so tell me, will the road be demolished?"

Secretary Du hesitated for a moment and then said, "That will not happen in the near future. The CEO is trying his best to salvage the situation but this matter has been intervened by some parties, causing the situation to be more complicated. There are many implications I can not guarantee anything, but it will not happen in the short term."

"How many parties are interfering? Which party?"

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, but I can't say more."

"Oh, sorry …"

"It's fine. Is there anything else?"

"No, I'm sorry for bothering you, Secretary Du. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Goodbye."

Jiang Ruolan put down her phone and sighed. She then returned to her office.

"Sis Jiang, how is it? Can the houses on the street be left alone?" Xiong Ruogang hurriedly approached her.

"Right now, there isn't much that can be done, but since the murder case had already happened, tell your parents to get out first." Jiang Ruolan sighed. "I don't know what's going on here. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

"Alright, I'm just hoping for an opportunity. If it doesn't work out, don't bother yourself to help me. My parents have packed their things and will move out in the next two days."

Jiang Ruolan nodded and didn't say anything else. She returned to her desk and resumed her work.

****

The next morning, she was suddenly called to the mailroom on the first floor of the company, saying that there was a delivery from her.

Jiang Ruolan was confused. She hadn't bought anything online recently, how could there be a package for her? When she went down to get it, she saw a small box. She picked it up and opened it after returning to her office.

The box contained the latest version of a white Samsung phone.

She picked up the phone and looked at it suspiciously. The battery was fully charged, and it was obvious it was not shipped immediately after purchase. She looked through it until she saw the only name in the phone book, Qin Gengxin.

Jiang Ruolan sighed and immediately called that number.

"Hmm? Finally, you know the first person you should call is me." Qin Gengxin's voice sounded full of pride.

"What do you mean? Who asked you to send me a cell phone? My phone is not completely broken, I asked someone to fix it last night."

"Fix what? I just bought you a new phone. Used it. You don't owe me anything in exchange for a new phone. Why is your tone so harsh?"

"Qin Gengxin, I told you that I don't want to have anything to do with you. Where are you now? I will send the phone back to you after work!" She frowned.

"Jiang Ruolan, you deliberately made my life difficult, didn't you?"

"I just don't want to take your things."

"Why don't you want to take my gift. Why? My money won't run out even if I spend it on you! So what if I give you something?!" Qin Gengxin seemed to be on fire.

Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips.

She was already married, and he was a good brother to Xian Zihao. She really didn't want any misunderstanding, nor did she wanted to get involved with Qin Gengxin at all, which was why she was so cold to him.

Jiang Ruolan knew that Qin Gengxin was good to her, and she didn't really hate the bullying that he did when she was young.

She just …

It's just that he had to keep a distance from her.

She did not want to get involved with that flirtatious feeling, so she could only used this method to stay away from him as much as possible, even though she knew how unpleasant her method was.

"I accept your good intentions, but I really can't accept this phone." She sighed. "Tell me, where are you? I'll send it to you tonight. "

"Do you like it or not! If you do not want it, just throw it away."

*Crack!*

Qin Gengxin actually hung up the phone! Jiang Ruolan looked at the phone screen, which turned black, in amazement.

She immediately gritted her teeth in anger and tried calling him again, but he f*cking ended the call.

"Good, very good!"

She threw the phone into the foam box. She would return this phone to the apartment that Qin Gengxin had brought her the last time.

She didn't remember the route well because she was in his car, so she switched on the computer and looked at the map. She couldn't remember the route, but she could remember the name of the building. Soon, she found the building and smiled.

'You really think that I will never be able to find it, right? Huh.'

After work, Jiang Ruolan immediately took a taxi to Qin Gengxin's residence, but in the end, he was not at home.

She wanted to call him, but she hesitated. If he knew that she was here, she probably wouldn't be able to come back for the entire night.

The apartment was a two-family apartment but there seemed to be no one living in this floor which meant that no one else but Qin Gengxin would come to this floor.

Jiang Ruolan looked around, and after thinking for a moment, she placed the box in her hand in front of the door of his apartment.

Just as she reached the elevator, the elevator opened with a "Ding" sound.

The person who was about to step out of the elevator suddenly froze. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ruolan crossed her arms over her chest and shot him a disapproving glance. "I was waiting for you. I left your cell phone at the door."

As she spoke, she brushed past Qin Gengxin and entered the elevator.

Qin Gengxin immediately saw the box at the door and his face darkened. He quickly pulled out the woman inside the elevator.

"Sigh! What are you doing!" Jiang Ruolan didn't have time to pushed him before she was dragged to his shoulder. She wanted to resist, but as she did so, she saw a glimpse of ice in his eyes.

"Qin Gengxin! Let go!"

"You actually sent the phone back to me?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at her with cold eyes. "Jiang Ruolan, do you know what this means?"

"What?" She glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"You are a f*cking bitch!" He let go of her hand.

Qin Gengxin was truly angry and stopped trying to pull her away. He turned around and walked to the door. He kicked the box away, removed the key from his pocket to open the door, and entered the house.

*Bang!*

The door was slammed shut. Jiang Ruolan looked at the closed door in shock, then looked down at the box that was kicked away for one meter. She immediately walked over and picked it up. "Wretch! What are you kicking for!"

Fortunately, there was no damage. The foam board in the box had played a protective role. Jiang Ruolan was relieved. She put the phone back in the box. She didn't know whether she should leave it on the doorstep or not.

Even if she didn't take the phone away, the cell phone would probably be smashed in Qin Gengxin's hand.

Even if she didn't want to owe him anything, she can't see this phone being left alone. It's such a waste. After a while, she sighed and decided to take the phone first, then turned around and pressed the button to lift the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, she suddenly heard Qin Gengxin pushing the door open again. "Are you angry? Why can't you take it? Just consider it as my compensation for bullying you when you were young."

Jiang Ruolan's expression did not change at all. Seeing the elevator go up, Qin Gengxin raised his thick eyebrows and said with an unhappy snort, "Why don't you come in and sit for a while before leaving?"

Jiang Ruolan smiled and shook her head. "No."

Suddenly, Qin Gengxin's expression changed to something more unpleasant. He suddenly walked out and grabbed her wrist. "Let's talk.
