Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Xuxu greeted Secretary Liu as well.     

They took their seats at the round table.     

Yan Rusheng was always discreet and cautious when meeting government officials. Thus, there weren't any waiters in the private room, so Xuxu had to serve them drinks.     

Yan Rusheng and Secretary Liu chatted briefly before they commenced on the topic of Flourish & Prosper acquiring the land in Chengnan. Then, they began to discuss the country's current development as well.     

Xuxu sat quietly, and she would give a smile when Secretary Liu occasionally glanced at her.     

"Secretary Liu, I heard that the government is planning to develop the land in Haishan near the northern city district? I heard that they're trying to attract investors; how is the progress so far?"     

After beating around the bush, Yan Rusheng had finally brought up the main topic.     

Haishan area near the northern city district… Isn't that where the Tiny Stars Orphanage is located?     

Xuxu studied Yan Rusheng's expression with bewilderment as she tried to guess what was going on in his mind.     

Why is he so concerned about that piece of land?He asked Secretary Liu about the government attracting investors; is he interested in bidding for that piece of land as well?     

Secretary Liu questioned him instead, "Why? Is Flourish & Prosper interested in purchasing it too?"     

Yan Rusheng nodded casually. "Of course, that piece of land is valuable."     

Secretary Liu laughed heartily and said, "Haha, the government does indeed have plans for it. But it's still too early to talk about attracting investors."     

Then, he glanced and surveyed Xuxu briefly before smiling, "Since Young Master Yan has gotten word of the government's plan for that area, you must be aware that we haven't actually started working on it?"     

Hearing this, Xuxu sneered silently in her heart. He must've found out about her visit to the government's office.     

And he assumed that Yan Rusheng had requested to meet him because of her.     

Shouldn't Secretary Liu know better? Yan Rusheng kept rejecting his invitation to discuss that huge project in Chengnan, so why would he care about some land that was only worth 30 million yuan?     

Yan Rusheng glanced at Secretary Liu, and his mouth curled into a polite and elegant smile. "I'll be frank with Secretary Liu then. Today I have a favor to ask from you."     

Secretary Liu nodded. "President Yan, please continue. I'll definitely help if it's within my capabilities."     

"Tiny Stars Orphanage is located on that piece of land in the Haishan area. The same land that the government is planning to acquire for 30 million yuan." Yan Rusheng paused before glancing at Xuxu.     

Then he continued composedly, "My wife is trying to purchase the land from the owners and needs the government's approval. I'll need your help for this."     

Secretary Liu wasn't in the least bit surprised, but he looked rather awkward. "Well…"     

Xuxu looked at Yan Rusheng in surprise, and she was visibly touched.     

So he offered to meet Secretary Liu because of the orphanage?     

There was a warm sensation surging in her heart, and the feeling was indescribable.     

Yan Rusheng saw that Secretary Liu had fallen silent for quite some time, and he smiled before continuing calmly. "I know that this is a little tricky, but I know that Secretary Liu is an expert at handling such matters. Just a few days ago, a refinery in Bei Wu Huan was reported to have polluted their surroundings. Didn't Secretary Liu manage to resolve it? Therefore, I have faith in you."     

Secretary Liu's face fell abruptly. "President Yan!"     

His hand on the table instantly balled into a tight fist.
