Bo Jingyu gritted his teeth and left the airport without stopping.
"Second Master."
Qian Li had been waiting at the entrance.
"How's the helicopter preparation?"
"Ruo Chi just sent a message. Everything is ready."
He tugged at his tie and got into the back seat of the car. "Let's go."
"Why are you sitting in the back?" Qian Li asked curiously.
This question caught Bo Jingyu off guard.
Previously, it was always Ruo Chi who drove when picking up and dropping off Shen Ximan. He was worried that she might run away, so he would sit in the back seat with her to keep an eye on her.
Over time, he had unconsciously developed this habit and instinctively sat in the back.
"Never mind. Just drive." The emotions in Bo Jingyu's eyes flashed by.
"Daddy, you're so good~" Shen Shiyu said sweetly, beaming.
Shen Yuliang lovingly stroked her head. "I'm discussing this with you in advance. This business trip is thanks to Si Ming. You can't be willful and do things without thinking. Got it?"
She hugged his arm coquettishly. "Okay~ I got it."
Then she looked up and saw Bo Siming getting ready to board the plane.
"Si Ming! Si Ming!" Shen Shiyu trotted over.
"Why are you here?" he asked irritably.
"Don't you want me to be here?" she retorted pitifully.
Just thinking about what had happened before made Bo Siming feel annoyed. He picked up his luggage and didn't want to waste any more words. He just walked away.
"Hey, hey!"
"Miss Shen, please stop pestering Mr. Bo." The bodyguard, having received instructions, immediately blocked her way and warned her.
"Alright, alright. Not in public."
Shen Yuliang stepped in and pulled her back. He felt quite embarrassed.
"Why are you stopping me? Si Ming has misunderstood me. I have to go and explain to him. I haven't seen him for days!"
Shen Shiyu's shrill voice attracted many looks.
"If you keep making a scene, go back right now!"
Unable to bear her capriciousness, he roared at her.
"…Sorry, Daddy."
She calmed down, her eyes slightly red.
An hour later, the plane landed.
Bo Siming happily walked around the airport, but there was no sign of any activity. There wasn't even a representative to greet him.
"What's going on?"
His assistant scurried over, looking flustered.
"Manager Bo, I'm not sure either…"
In anger, he kicked the assistant, who knelt on the ground immediately.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be arranged in advance? If you don't know, do you think I do? If you don't want to do this job, just get out!"
"I did contact them before the plane took off, Manager Bo! But now, when I call, their phones are turned off!"
Only then did Bo Siming realize that he had been set up.
At the same time, at the landing area at the entrance of Huazhi Lake Village.
"Mr. Bo, you've really gone to a lot of trouble!"
The village head had been waiting for half an hour. When the helicopter landed, he quickly trotted over to greet him.
"You could have just sent a representative. You didn't have to come in person."
Bo Jingyu smiled faintly and shook hands with him.
"How could that be! You're here to solve our problems. This is just basic courtesy. Come with me quickly. I've prepared your accommodation and rest area."
"Thank you."
He checked the time on his phone. Bo Siming should have landed by now.
"Second Master, Ruo Chi has returned to the eastern suburbs to watch over Miss San."
Bo Jingyu nodded. "Keep a close eye on her. Don't let anything go wrong."
Sitting in the car, he showed no interest in the scenery along the way. However, the place not far away that was flashing neon lights caught his attention. He stared blankly for a long time.
She… should be very happy there, right?
Without the constraints of the Bo family, the coercion of the Shen family, and the pressure from his grandfather and him, she could simply enjoy herself.
After the Huazhi Lake project was completed, he would give her complete freedom. Bo Jingyu made up his mind secretly.
Previously, he had only kept Shen Ximan around because he thought she was useful and that she was different from other women. It was just for fun. But now, for some reason, just thinking about her getting hurt made him inexplicably worried and even irritable.
Her appearance had disrupted his original life.
The village head suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Bo Jingyu almost hit the back of the seat in front.
"Sorry, Mr. Bo! I…"
Bo Jingyu rubbed his forehead where the skin had been scratched. "I'm fine."
"I'm really sorry. It's so dark at night that it's hard to see clearly. There are some pits that haven't been filled in yet. We almost… It's good that you're okay!" The village head heaved a sigh of relief.
"What are the pits for?" Bo Jingyu frowned and asked.
"Alas! That Mrs. Ronglian of General Manager Zhang said that she detected gold underground in our village with a metal detector. She ignored our advice and called in several excavators to dig pits without permission!"
"Isn't the land of Huazhi Lake under your management?"
At this, the village head looked worried.
He reversed the car for a short distance and then drove on.
"This is exactly why I invited you here. The land was long ago turned into a living resource by your elder brother. If it weren't for the well - being of the villagers in our village, I would never have sold it!"
Bo Jingyu had heard about this before, but at that time, his capabilities were not as strong as they were now. Even if he had wanted to intervene, he was unable to do so.
"Do you still have the contract signed before?"
"Yes, I do! If it weren't for your full support for our village all these years, I'm afraid these lands would have been expropriated long ago."
The village head was in tears. "Now that you're in trouble, I'll help you to the end no matter what! You're our great benefactor!"
Bo Jingyu shook his head and bent his index finger to his lips. "Now it's Bo Siming who is in charge. I'm just following his arrangements. For now, don't act rashly. Wait for my notice at any time."
"No problem!"
After Bo Siming arrived at Huazhi Lake, he felt uncomfortable everywhere.
"Why are there so many mosquitoes?!"
The assistant looked embarrassed. "Manager Bo, this is the countryside. It's inevitable to have these little bugs. You might as well adapt to the local customs."
He gave the assistant a dirty look. "What is the village head doing? I'm the eldest young master of the Bo family, coming to the village to inspect the work in person, and he doesn't even come out to greet me in person. What kind of attitude is this!"
"I'm really sorry," the village head trotted over eagerly at this time. "The signal in the countryside is poor. I didn't see the news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Jingyu walked in right behind.
"You? When did you…"
The village head interrupted Bo Siming. "I thought the president was still the young Mr. Bo. I didn't expect the old master to send the eldest young master here. I'm really sorry for not giving you a proper welcome. Please forgive my ignorance."
"Humph, are you two in cahoots to play tricks on me?"
"You told me to leave." Bo Jingyu said confidently.
"You're really good at acting. If Grandpa knew that you were being smart under his nose, you'd never have a chance to be involved in the company in the future!"
Bo Jingyu gritted his teeth and pointed at him angrily.
