As su Yicheng drove, he turned his head to look at Anran. He could clearly sense that Anran had become much quieter before she shut her mouth, and the reason for that seemed to be because of the phone call just now.

“An ran.” Su Yicheng called out to her softly, but he didn’t turn his head to look at her. Instead, he continued to focus on the road ahead.

Anran was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She turned around to look at him and replied softly, ” “What?”

Su Yicheng turned to look at her with a faint smile and said with a smile, ” “It’s a good thing my reaction wasn’t too slow.” He had thought that she would only react after he called her a few more times, but it seemed that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

Anran looked at him, sighed, and took the initiative to say, ” “I just received a call from my assistant.”

“Really? what did she say?” Su Yicheng asked indifferently.

An ran gave a self-deprecating smile and said, ” &Quot; she told me that the blueprint had been stolen by someone, but the result surprised me and made me laugh. &Quot;

Su Yicheng frowned and turned to look at her, but this time, he did not say anything. Anran didn’t say a word about her resignation or the reason for her departure after she returned home. He only knew that Huang Dexing must have pressured her to get some benefits from the technology City project through her, but he didn’t think about what method he had used to force Anran to resign.

&Quot; Chen Cheng told me that the bidding results for the ‘Mobile Manor’ project are out. It’s confirmed that a construction company in Jiangcheng has invested in the opening of the project and the right to build it. Also, she went online to look up the blueprint for the winning bid. &Quot; Then, Anran paused and was silent for a while before she slowly said, ” &Quot; this design is actually eighty percent similar to the one we made, and it’s even so detailed to the extent of the parameters and proportions. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything, nor did he turn his head. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and he was looking at the width of the road seriously.

&Quot; the company that won the bid this time is mo Fei’s company. The blueprint that is 80% similar to our previous one is officially from mo Fei’s hands. &Quot; Anran spoke very calmly, and no emotion could be seen on her calm face. She just stared straight ahead, through the car window, at the road ahead.

They happened to run into the red light, and the car slowly stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing. Su Yicheng turned his head to look at her. He was a little surprised that mo Fei was the one who had stolen the photo. Looking at her overly calm face, su Yicheng reached out and held her hand.

She retracted her gaze and lowered her head to look at her hand that was being held by his large palm. She then raised her head to look at him and calmly smiled. She shook her head and said, ” &Quot; I’m fine. I just feel that it’s too unexpected. I just didn’t expect him to have reached the stage of stealing other people’s works in the six years he was abroad. &Quot; Just thinking about it made one feel sad.

Su Yicheng tightened his grip on her hand and said, ” “Don’t even think about it.”

“It’s just too unexpected.” Anran shook her head and said to him, ” “I don’t want to think about it anymore. There’s really nothing much to think about.” It didn’t matter who stole the blueprint, it was just that the person who stole it would be able to recognize it. She was just a little emotional.

Su Yicheng smiled at her approvingly, then looked up at the traffic light, which just happened to turn green. He started the car and continued on the road.

When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, Qin Yun’s aunt was in the kitchen preparing lunch. When she saw Anran and the others return, she quickly came out of the kitchen, took Anran’s hand, and looked at her from head to toe. In the end, she frowned and said, ” Anran, did you lose weight again? ” Why didn’t she gain weight?! Every time she looked at him, he was so thin. Did his son feed her?

“Mom, I’m not.” Anran explained with a smile. It seemed that every time she saw Qin Yun, she was always concerned about whether she had eaten because she was too thin. In fact, she had secretly weighed herself and found that she had gained a whole three pounds after getting married. In the end, it was all because of su Yicheng’s superb cooking skills. He was practically a master chef, and she couldn’t stop eating every time. If this continued, she felt that she was very likely to become a fatty because of su Yicheng, a very gluttonous fatty!

“Is that so?” Qin Yun looked at her suspiciously. No matter how she looked at her, she still felt that an ran was too thin. She really couldn’t understand the girls these days. They always wanted to be thin for beauty, and they kept on dieting to lose weight. In the end, they became skin and bones. Yijiao was the same. She always said that she didn’t want to eat. It was obviously her favorite dish, but she just swallowed her saliva and stared at it. She didn’t want to eat a single bit, and only said that she wanted to lose weight. According to her, it was good as long as people were healthy. If she ate so carefully for every meal, she would sooner or later ruin her own body. By then, she would not even be healthy, let alone talk about whether she was slim or beautiful.

After staring at Anran for a while longer, Qin Yun turned to look at her son and said in an annoyed tone, ” &Quot; su Yicheng, if I didn’t call you to come back, would you have never come back? ” This damned child, he really doesn’t know how a parent should be. That parent doesn’t want their child to spend more time with them. If they were thousands of miles apart, it would be fine if they saw each other a few times a year. But he’s fine. It was only an hour’s drive, but he didn’t come back to visit.

Su Yicheng touched his nose and was a little out of breath as he said, ” “I’ve been busy recently.”

Qin Yun glared at him. Just as she was about to speak, she heard his phone ring. It was a call from Secretary Zheng. He said that there was a sudden problem with the technology City project and wanted him to go back to take a look.

After hanging up the phone, su Yicheng looked at Qin Yun and Anran apologetically. &Quot; it looks like we can’t have lunch. I have to go and take a look. &Quot;

Qin Yun wasn’t very happy. She looked at him and said unhappily, ” &Quot; you better be that busy. I think even the Zhang family’s old man, the municipal Party secretary, isn’t as busy as you. &Quot;

Su Yicheng put his arm around mother Lou’s shoulder and said with a smile, ” “Our subordinates have finished their work, so naturally, uncle Zhang has nothing to do.”

&Quot; then let him be busy. If my son is always busy and doesn’t have time to go home, I might go to his house and make a fuss. &Quot; Qin Yun said angrily.

Seeing su Yicheng’s awkward expression, Anran laughed and said, ” “Mom, I’ll stay with you.”

Hearing this, Qin Yun’s mood brightened. She held Anran’s hand and said, ” “My wife is the best.” Then, she turned to look at su Yicheng and said, ” &Quot; Okay, okay, you can go. Just leave Anran here. You can do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come back. &Quot; Anyway, his wife was already in her hands, how far could he go? Unless he didn’t want his wife anymore.

Su Yicheng laughed and shook his head. His mother’s expression changed faster than the speed of turning a page in a book. He raised his hand to look at the time. He asked Secretary Zheng to arrange for a meeting in an hour and a half. It was about an hour’s journey from here to the city. Time was actually very tight.

He turned around and looked at Anran. &Quot; be careful. I’ll come back in the afternoon. &Quot;

An ran nodded with a faint smile on her face.

Qin Yun was actually quite happy to see them being so sweet, but she still wanted to play a prank on her son. &Quot; what? you can’t even feel at ease leaving for a while? ”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng didn’t feel anything, but Anran’s face was extremely red, and she looked embarrassed. As if she had a guilty conscience, she quickly urged su Yicheng, ” “You, you should go. Work is more important.”

“Pfft.” Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh. She knew that her daughter-in-law was thin-skinned, so she didn’t interrupt their sweet talk. She only said with an excuse, ” “I’ll go and see if Auntie needs help.” He turned around and walked straight into the kitchen, leaving Anran and su Yicheng behind.

Anran’s face was still very red, and su Yicheng shook his head in amusement. He reached out to touch her face and said, ” “Why are you blushing, silly?”

“I … I didn’t.” An ran didn’t admit it, but the temperature on her face grew hotter and hotter, and her little face became redder. She was extremely embarrassed, so she hurriedly urged su Yicheng and half-pushed him out while saying, ” &Quot; you, you should leave quickly. It’ll take more than an hour to drive back. If you don’t go back soon, it’ll be late. &Quot;

Su Yicheng only smiled and didn’t say anything. He followed her and walked out. Indeed, if he didn’t go back now, he wouldn’t have time.

Anran pushed him, but she didn’t forget to care. &Quot; “Drive slowly on the road. Remember to eat something for lunch. The doctor said that your stomach is very sensitive and you have to eat a normal diet.”

Su Yicheng turned around, half-hugged her, and walked out of the courtyard as he said, ” “Yes, I’ll listen to my wife.”

Anran was both angry and amused. She reached out to Pat him and corrected him, ” “I’ll listen to the doctor!” What was the use of listening to her? she still listened to the doctor.

“I will only listen to you.” Su Yicheng insisted. He grabbed the hand that was patting his body and held it tightly in his hand.

Anran rolled her eyes at him. &Quot; you better be this obedient. &Quot; She didn’t know who told him not to drink, but there were a few nights when he returned home late, and he always came back with the smell of alcohol. However, she knew his position and work, so such social events were inevitable.

The two of them stood still at the door. The staff, Xiao Zhang, had been called to help at this time, so he was not standing at the door.

She reached out to adjust the collar of his shirt and looked at him for a while. Then, she smiled and said, ” “My husband is very handsome.”

Su Yicheng also laughed, pinched her nose, and said, ” “If you’re tired, go and sleep for a while. If you vomit badly, Ask Auntie to buy you some sour plums, understand?”

Anran nodded and muttered with a smile, ” I know. I’m not a child. ” Although she muttered, her heart still felt sweet and greasy.

“Du du!”

Suddenly, a car horn sounded at this time, and the two turned around, only to see su yijiao in the car looking at them with a funny and ambiguous smile.

Anran’s face turned red again. She didn’t do anything, but she felt so guilty that her face was burning.

Su yijiao got out of the car with a gift bag in her hand. She looked at them with amusement. &Quot; brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship. I’m so envious. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, Anran’s face grew redder and redder, even redder than it had been in the room. She had the illusion that every time she came, she seemed to be the object of everyone’s entertainment.

Seeing Anran like this, su Yicheng could only roll his eyes at his sister in amusement and lightly chided her, ” “You’re so rude.” He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was really time to leave. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have time to look at the information when he arrived. He turned around and let go of Anran. &Quot; I’m leaving, ” he said. &Quot; I’ll try to come back earlier in the afternoon. &Quot;

Before Anran could answer, su Yicheng, who was standing next to them, laughed at them and said, ” &Quot; why did you come so early? you’re afraid that your wife will go missing. &Quot; Then, he patted his chest as if he was making a promise and said, ” &Quot; don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you keep sister-in-law company. I won’t let a single hair on her head go missing, and I won’t let that tigress mom scare me. &Quot;

“Pfft.” Anran was amused by su yijiao’s words.

Su Yicheng stepped forward and gave su yijiao a slap on the forehead, saying, ” &Quot; nonsense. I’m talking to mom. &Quot;

Su yijiao rubbed her forehead and winked at him playfully. &Quot; my brother wouldn’t do such despicable things behind my back. &Quot;

Su Yicheng glanced at her unhappily. &Quot; you don’t have to flatter me. Help me take care of your sister-in-law. If she loses even a single strand of hair, I’ll come after you. &Quot; With that, he turned around and walked straight to his car.

Su yijiao looked at his back, stomped her feet, and saluted him seriously. &Quot; I will definitely complete the task assigned by the chief. &Quot;

Su Yicheng turned his head and looked at her with an amused expression, then shook his head and got into the car. He started the car and drove away.

Anran watched as his car disappeared into the corner of the street before she looked away. However, just as she looked away, she happened to meet su yijiao’s eyes, which seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. She blushed, afraid that she was going to be laughed at again.

It was noon when su Yicheng arrived at the municipal Party Committee building. Because of the tight schedule, he didn’t have time to eat. He only asked Secretary Zheng to pass him the documents that he would need later. ” Bring me the documents for the reconstruction project in the city. ”

“It’s here,” Secretary Zheng directly handed the document to him. After working for su Yicheng for more than three years, Secretary Zheng was quite familiar with some of his habits.

Su Yicheng reached out to take it, looked at it seriously, and asked, ” ” This project should be finalized by now. Who’s the one having a dispute with whose opinions? ”

&Quot; it’s director Zhang and bureau chief Tong. They both have their own opinions and won’t back down. &Quot; Secretary Zheng said.

His hands paused and he looked up at Secretary Zheng. &Quot; Tong Wenhai? ”

“Yes, I am.” Secretary Zheng replied.

Su Yicheng nodded, holding the document in his hand, deep in thought.

“Deputy Mayor, do you feel that something is wrong?” Secretary Zheng asked suspiciously. Having been by su Yicheng’s side for so long, he had already figured out su Yicheng’s expression. As long as su Yicheng frowned, he could tell whether he was in a good mood or not.

Su Yicheng shook his head. &Quot; it’s nothing. &Quot; He looked down at the information and documents in his hands again.

Su Yicheng had long trained the ability to read ten lines at a glance when it came to reading these cumbersome official documents all year round. This document was not a small number, but he had read through it in almost a few minutes, and he had more or less figured out the general content.

He raised his head and asked Secretary Zheng, ” is everyone from the bidding office in the meeting room? ”

Secretary Zheng nodded and replied, ” yes, they should be here. When you came over just now, I saw director Zhang and the others heading towards the conference room. &Quot;

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded in response, then tidied up the documents and information on the table and stood up. &Quot; then let’s go over too. &Quot;

When su Yicheng and Secretary Zheng arrived at the meeting, several people from the bidding office were already sitting on both sides of the table. Some of them were talking and laughing with the people beside them, some of them seemed to be in deep thought with their heads lowered, and some of them were seriously reading the documents in their hands.

Su Yicheng pushed the door open and sat down at the head of the table. The meeting room fell silent, and everyone looked up at su Yicheng.

After looking around, su Yicheng finally said indifferently, ” “The construction of Technology City involves a wide range of projects, many of which are key projects. The bidding competition between companies is very fierce, but this is a good thing. However, no matter how fierce the competition is, we have to make a decision. The reconstruction of the old District can be regarded as the most important project among the many projects in the construction of the technology City. It is also the foundation. We plan to improve the old District in the north of the city and then expand the scope. So this is the latest part of the bidding project that needs to be confirmed. Everyone has read a lot of bidding documents during this period of time, and I think you should have some ideas in your hearts, so I want to hear everyone’s opinions first.”

The crowd below exchanged looks, but no one wanted to speak first.

Su Yicheng asked with a faint smile, ” what’s wrong? there’s still no result? ” Don’t tell me that everyone doesn’t remember that the tender is the day after tomorrow?”

Dong Wenhai took the lead and said, &Quot; I think the reconstruction of the old District is the key. I think the choice of the company for the reconstruction is the key. The reconstruction of the old District is different from other projects. The scope and economic benefits are different. The reconstruction of the old Laocheng District is more important than the planning of the city. The capital investment is huge, but the return of production is low. This is a test of the company’s overall quality and ability to operate funds, so I think that if this project doesn’t have a company of a certain scale, it won’t be able to withstand the later stages of the project. I think we need to find a company with both reputation and strength to take charge of this project.”

Hearing this, the few people sitting there couldn’t help but nod and echo, ” “Bureau chief Tong is right. It’s like this,”

Su Yicheng didn’t express his opinion, neither nodding nor shaking his head. He looked at him and asked, ” ” Then, does bureau chief Tong already have a suitable partner in mind? ”

Tong Wenhai coughed and straightened his body slightly, saying, ” “In fact, in my heart, I’ve been thinking about ‘Xudong construction’, but it’s a pity that they didn’t participate in this project. I’ve seen all the bidding companies” bidding documents and some of their basic information. Without the boss of’ Xudong construction’, I think ‘Jingcheng construction’s overall strength is a bit better. I’ve also seen some of the projects and information they participated in last year, and the response to society was very good. Besides, they were the winning bidders for the municipal Party Committee building. I, Kurt, and the others definitely have the ability to renovate this city well.”

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything about Tong Wenhai’s words. He looked at everyone and asked, ” “Everyone agrees with bureau chief Tong’s idea? Do you have any other opinions?”

“I don’t think so.” As soon as he finished speaking, director Zhang, who was sitting in the corner, had a different opinion. He said, ” I don’t think that ‘sincerity construction’ is the best choice. &Quot;

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him. &Quot; then who do you think is more suitable, director Zhang? ”

&Quot; I’m still going to say the same thing. I don’t think we should just leave the opportunities to the big companies. I think the development of an industry is the same as the development of a country. The country’s development is not the older generation like us. The real focus is on the next generation because the future belongs to the younger generation. The older generation will have to push it down sooner or later. &Quot; I think the development of an industry is the same. You can’t just blindly tell those so-called powerful big companies that have been established for a long time. I think you’ll force yourself into a dead end if you do so. It’s too easy to encounter a monopoly in such a development. If everyone thinks this way, then the new generation of companies with drive and ability will never have the opportunity to develop. They will always be small companies without any strength. “Also, I think the focus on the construction of this Technology City is also for the development and construction of Jiang city in the future. It’s the same principle. We see that new development is necessary for new development. If we continue to leave the opportunity to the companies and people who are still developing, I think it goes against the original intention of the construction of this Technology City. It’s completely meaningless.” Director Zhang said.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, as if they were considering the deeper meaning of director Zhang’s words.

The corners of su Yicheng’s mouth curled up, and he had a faint smile on his face. He looked at everyone and said, ” “What are everyone’s thoughts on director Zhang’s words?”

“Then, if we do as director Zhang said and give those so-called new companies opportunities, who can guarantee the quality and progress? after all, it’s a project, and it can’t be done just by saying it’s nice. It still depends on ability.” Someone questioned.

Director Zhang looked at the man and said, ” “The so-called quality assurance is complete nonsense. Look at how many projects have come from those so-called capable companies, but how many of them can guarantee quality? in the end, which one of them didn’t have an accident, and then a series of people and things were involved. In my opinion, it’s our government’s responsibility to ensure quality. Construction and development are originally meant to serve the people, so I think it’s better to put the funds in place first than to think about how to reduce the investment. Instead of having to take responsibility for most of the human, financial, and material resources after the incident, it’s better to put everything in place and directly guarantee quality. This way, not only can we be responsible for the project and the people, but I think it can also better drive the development of new enterprises.”

No one said anything and remained silent. In fact, everyone was well aware of some of these internal matters. Everyone knew how much money had been allocated and how much money had been truly paid in the end.

Su Yicheng calmly said, ” I think what director Zhang said makes a lot of sense. We should give more opportunities to those newly developed enterprises. The construction of the technology City was originally a government-invested project to promote the development of Jiangcheng’s technology industry. Of course, it’s not only limited to the technology industry, but also to other industries. So, I very much agree with director Zhang’s idea. If no one has any objections, I’ll give you a chance. &Quot; I think we should give some opportunities to the small and medium-sized companies in Jiang city, as well as the new and capable companies.” “Don’t you agree, director Tong?” he looked at Tong Wenhai and asked.

Tong Wenhai looked at him and only nodded after a while. &Quot; Deputy Mayor su is right. &Quot;
