A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

The lack of progress on this side has created a major problem for the planning bureau. How can the project proceed if it doesn't move? There are countless stakeholders involved, including construction teams, design institutes, the landscaping bureau, government reports, and investors. It's something that can't be delayed any longer.

Before construction begins, delays affect the project itself; however, they impact economic benefits. Simply put, wasting time means wasting money. Driven by the prospect of economic gains, how could the government not be anxious? How could investors not be anxious? How could developers not be anxious?

"Second Master, are you asking why they don't move?" Tan Xiao asked, tilting her head.

How much longer do we have to stand here? It's not that hard to ask a few questions. Knocking on the door and asking a few questions is just a matter of a few words.

Zhuang Shijue neither nodded nor shook his head. He was observing the situation. If they didn't move, it was simply because they wanted more. If he cut off their hopes, they would eventually move even if he didn't move, which would make things easier.

Of course, this doesn't mean forcing people to act; the solution must be tailored to the specific situation. The government and investors can't keep backing down; if that sets a precedent, the conflict will never end.

Tan Xiao rolled her eyes. Why are you silent again? Why do adults always act so profound?

Tan Xiao didn't think it was anything difficult at all; it was just asking a few questions.

She'll go!

Thinking this, she loosened her grip on Zhuang Shijue's sleeve and walked directly into the courtyard.

The girl had a pretty good plan in mind, thinking that if she helped him this time, he wouldn't bother her anymore.

Tan Xiao went inside. This place was a small supermarket. The yard outside was quite spacious. The low wall didn't completely enclose the yard; instead, it was open, only tightly blocking off the sides of the building. The open space in front connected to the road, making it convenient for the neighbors who came to buy things. Stacks of corncobs hung on the low wall, and some coarse grains and tea leaves were drying on the ground.

Zhuang Shijue frowned and called out, "Tan Xiao, come back!"

Tan Xiao turned to look at him and thought he was being indecisive. "Why are you so annoying? You don't even ask yourself, and when I ask for you, you don't appreciate it."

Zhuang Shijue didn't say anything, but he glanced sideways at the panting stray dog ​​lying outside the house.

Tan Xiao clearly hadn't seen the dog, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over so recklessly.

"Hello, Auntie, are you the owner of this house?" Tan Xiao asked with a smile, already standing in front of the mahjong table.

In a different setting, her obedient and adorable appearance would certainly be captivating, but now...

Girl, can't you see everyone's busy?

The middle-aged woman who was in charge of the game quickly glanced at her, her hands moving rapidly, arranging the cards in front of her in a clattering motion. After a long while, she finally said, "Want to buy something? Go and see for yourself, they all have prices."

Tan Xiao immediately put on a shameless act and walked up to her aunt, still smiling sweetly, and said, "No, Auntie, I'm not buying anything. I just wanted to ask why your family doesn't want to move?"

The woman holding the card paused for a moment, then turned to give her a proper look. Seeing that she was just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen, she didn't take her seriously and impatiently told her to leave: "Go away, go away quickly. Whose wild child is this? You can't just gossip about other people's business. You have no manners."

"I'm well-mannered, Auntie. I just want to know why your family refuses to move. Is it on purpose? Or is there some other reason?" Tan Xiao felt that this auntie's attitude was bad. Couldn't she just talk things out properly? Why was she being so fierce?

The woman immediately flew into a rage, turned her head and yelled into the house, "Dad, this wild girl is asking about our relocation. Get out here and chase her away!"

The bald man, who was engrossed in playing Dou Dizhu on the computer, immediately rushed out when he heard his wife call him. Without saying a word, he grabbed a bucket of swill and splashed it directly at Tan Xiao.

This girl wasn't that stupid; she turned and ran when she saw things were going wrong.

But a little girl can't outrun a grown man. After only a couple of steps, she was splashed with cold water.

"Ah, ah--"

Tan Xiao screamed and jumped up and down in a panic. The smell on him was awful!

The girl's jump and shout clearly startled some creature nearby. The big yellow dog sleeping under the low wall to the side sat up, shook its bright yellow fur, and barked twice. The next moment, it spotted its target and charged straight at the girl.

"Ah—a dog! A dog! There's a dog!"

With a jolt, her little bottom clenched, and her two slender legs shot off like a wind-up toy, rushing towards the road.

"There's a dog! There's a dog..."

His eyes widened, his face turned deathly pale, and he screamed in terror, running away as fast as he could.

Tan Xiao rushed towards Zhuang Shijue, crying, "Second Master, Second Master, save me, save me..."

A beautiful face, once so lovely, was suddenly distorted by sheer terror.

Zhuang Shijue stood motionless, but the cold, ruthless aura deep in his eyes was fully revealed. In his hand, the pistol was mostly hidden in his sleeve, slightly raised, the muzzle pointed directly at the stray dog ​​behind Tan Xiao.

“Ah Huang, Ah Huang, come back! Ah Huang…” A boy rushed out of the house and shouted loudly.

The big yellow dog looked back at its little master, but couldn't bear to give up its prey. It paused for a moment, then continued chasing.

The boy immediately threw a sausage over and shouted, "Ah Huang, eat some meat!"

The big yellow dog stopped chasing and immediately changed lanes to go eat meat.

Zhuang Shijue immediately put his gun away when the boy came out. The next moment, the trembling little girl crashed into his arms. In just a moment, Tan Xiao jumped onto Zhuang Shijue, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, and wrapped her legs tightly around Zhuang Shijue's strong body.

"Help! There's a dog! There's a dog! Second Master! Second Master, there's a dog!"

He was screaming incoherently, completely terrified and trembling uncontrollably.

"never mind……"

Just as Zhuang Shijue was about to speak, a pungent, rancid smell rushed into his nose. K—what's that smell?

Zhuang Shijue was in extreme discomfort from the pressure.

Just imagine, this man's toilet always smells wonderful, he's never smelled anything like this, which is comparable to a stinking ditch.

Really...

He tried to pull Tan Xiao down, but the girl refused, clinging to him tightly, almost as if she were a tree clinging to him.

"There's a dog, there's a dog..." Tan Xiao cried her heart out, heartbroken and almost scared out of her wits. How could such a big dog suddenly run away?

Is it legal for a mixed-breed dog to grow that big?

The boy who ran out looked apologetic and stood not far from the two of them. After a while, he shouted loudly, "Tan Xiao, Ah Huang is gone. Don't be afraid, he won't come back."

Upon hearing the voice, Tan Xiao was startled and abruptly turned around.
