Chapter 142: Getting Information
The secretary poured two glasses of water and handed one to Gu Chu. “Director, why do we have to go to the capital so soon?”
Of course, Gu Chu was not just doing this to annoy Feng Jia.
“I read your email. Among the twenty families that opposed the construction, the one closest to the base is still a kilometer away, but they insist that the construction will destroy their business? They think it’s taboo?”
“Yeah, what era is this? Why are they still so superstitious?” The secretary was annoyed.
She thought that the twenty families were just stirring up trouble for no reason and wanted to take the opportunity to extort money!
Gu Chu also thought that it was strange, so she made this impromptu trip. “Let’s go and pay them a surprise visit. If it’s just money, then it’s not a big problem. I’m afraid that a competitor has bribed them to come and cause trouble.”
Gu Chu didn’t sleep well last night, so she caught up on sleep as soon as she got on the plane.
It took more than three hours to fly from Haicheng City to the capital. When they landed, the sky was getting dark.
Gu Chu deactivated the flight mode on her phone, and as expected, she saw a message from Feng Jia. He had already got off work. When he returned to Jinyuan Residences, he didn’t see her. He thought that she was angry and refused to come back.
Gu Chu turned around and took a photo of the airport and sent it to him with a smiley face emoji.
Although she didn’t do this to anger him, since she was already here, she might as well do it.
If the bastard hadn’t said such harsh words, she wouldn’t have been so angry.
She didn’t wait for Feng Jia’s reply and walked out of the airport. They took a taxi to the hotel to eat and rest.
On the other hand, Feng Jia’s eyes darkened when he saw the photo.
After looking at it for a while, he put down his phone and looked at the empty room. He didn’t expect it to be empty again after only a few days.
He felt a rush of frustration. He went into the master bedroom, took off his coat, stared expressionlessly at the mirror.
Gu Chu didn’t pack her makeup tools. They were all spread out on the table, looking a little messy.
Feng Jia was a germaphobe. At first, he found it hard to tolerate her sloppy behavior, but now he was used to it. He even helped her put away the stuff and threw the used cotton into the bin.
He glanced at the drawer of the bedside cabinet that was not closed properly. He pushed it, but it did not close. He opened it to take a look.
He saw a drawer full of condoms.
Feng Jia was stunned at first, then he picked up the box of ultra-thin condoms at the top. She probably had not tried it before and wanted to try it. That was why she placed it at the top.
After a few seconds of silence, he put it back and closed the drawer expressionlessly.
The next morning, Gu Chu brought her secretary and went around the site. Then, they found a Ramen restaurant, which was a local specialty. As someone who liked noodles, she wanted to try it.
Gu Chu picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them to the secretary. “Try it.”
“Thank you, director.” The secretary smelled the fragrance of the noodles and almost drooled. “It smells so good.”
“It tastes better when you eat it,” the owner replied.
Gu Chu laughed and asked, “What are they building over there?”
“You don’t look like locals. That’s the construction site of Sky Garden. It’s very famous.” There were no other customers in the shop, so she simply stood by their table.
“Yes, we’re here for a vacation,” Gu Chu replied naturally.
The owner was very proud. “No wonder you don’t know. When this is built in the future, it will be very good to the economy. The surrounding area will also need to be renovated. You guys can come back in two years to see it. There will definitely be a huge change.”
Gu Chu agreed, “Before the construction is completed, will it affect the businesses nearby? We are staying in a nearby hotel, that’s why we came here to eat.”
The lady boss waved her hand. “Nah, take a long-term view. It will be difficult for a year or two, but the benefits will last for a lifetime. Moreover, there will be compensation, so we won’t lose much.”
Gu Chu did not continue with the pleasantries. Since there were customers coming, she went over to entertain them.
Gu Chu glanced over and looked at the secretary. “Can you tell?”
“Yes, yes.” The secretary had been listening the whole time and understood. “This restaurant belongs to one of the twenty families. They don’t seem to have a problem at all.”
