Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "We've been walking for so long and we're tired. Let's go and have a bowl of dumplings."

"Professor Zhao." The assistant beside him looked at the crowded crowd and said worriedly, "It's not safe with so many people. If you get squeezed, it will be more trouble than good. I'll get you a bowl."

"It's not that precious."

Professor Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Aren't there people lining up here? It's okay. We should personally thank them for their kindness."

Seeing that he insisted, the assistant had no choice but to stand by his side and queue up together.

When Professor Zhao got to the front of the line, the dumplings had just been cooked.

"Happy New Year, old man." Ruan Xingchen handed over the dumplings with a smile.

"Thank you, and Happy New Year." Professor Zhao stepped aside, holding the dumplings.

Bite into one, and the fragrance of cabbage mixed with the aroma of meat is just the right amount of satisfaction.

A smile appeared on his face. Looking at the children in Angel Garden who were also eating dumplings with their bowls in hand, Professor Zhao said with a smile, "Mrs. Huo is doing a good deed."

"Let's celebrate the festival together." Ruan Xingchen smiled, her delicate features misty and warm in the mist. "If the children are happy, I'm happy too. It's not really a good deed."

"That's really rare."

The wrinkles on Professor Zhao's face smoothed out, and he suddenly said, "I heard that Madam Huo grew up on West Street? So she should know this place very well, right?"

If he suddenly mentioned her background in front of other people, they would probably get angry.

Now that they are wealthy ladies, how many of them are willing to talk about their past miserable and poor lives?

The assistant, who was happily eating dumplings, couldn't help but look up and said worriedly, "Mrs. Huo, Professor Zhao didn't mean that. Please don't misunderstand..."

"There's nothing that can't be said."

Hearing his name, Ruan Xingchen was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "I actually grew up in a back alley a little further back. It was messier and poorer over there."

She didn't feel ashamed of the past.

"The back alley, we just came from that side." Professor Zhao nodded and said with emotion, "It's hard to imagine that there are still places like this in H City now."

In some places, there is not even cement on the road surface. Small shacks are sandwiched between the low buildings, and clothes are hung outside. Everywhere is dirty, messy and narrow.

"As the city develops, West Street will get better and better."

Ruan Xingchen, however, had no complaints about the environment he grew up in. He said with a smile, "Are you a university professor? Are you bringing students here to work on a project?"

"Come and see." Professor Zhao said casually. After finishing the last dumpling, he handed over the bowl: "Give me some more soup."

After drinking the hot dumpling soup, the chill was dispelled. He shook his head and said, "During this period of urban development, the Huo family is optimistic about the West City District, right? It's difficult to develop here."

It's like a casual sigh.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Ruan Xingchen always showed more patience when dealing with older people. He smiled and said, "East City has its advantages, and West City has its advantages. As long as we can fully utilize the advantages of West City, it won't be difficult to develop it."

"Oh?" Professor Zhao raised his eyebrows in interest. "Tell me about it."

"Just a humble opinion." Ruan Xingchen smiled, lowered his eyes, and stirred the dumplings twice. "Xicheng District is an old city with a rich cultural heritage and many old buildings."

"Isn't it a new approach to combine the times and development, give full play to the advantages of nostalgia and retro, and combine the modern with the ancient?"

Since people like to travel to the ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty or historical sites to feel the traces of history, why can't Xicheng become one of the attractions?

It is both modern and nostalgic, which is a new attempt in the fast-developing city of H.

Professor Zhao's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help but ask, "What else? How can we guarantee profits and returns on investment?"

"Xicheng has many old restaurants with delicious and affordable food. We could build a food street and restore the ancient buildings to make them tourist attractions." Ruan Xingchen said, "Xicheng won't always be like this. But I grew up here, and while I hope it gets better, I also hope it won't change beyond recognition."

"It's a bit greedy." She smiled sheepishly: "It's just an idea I have, please don't laugh at me."

"No, this is a genius idea!"

Professor Zhao was very excited, and the eyes of his assistants and students following behind him also sparkled.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Professor Zhao frowned. "Promotion and attracting investment are both big problems. If we can't attract tourists, I'm afraid..."

You will lose everything.

Even if the higher-ups want to develop West Street, they have to consider economic issues and it is impossible for them to gamble with them.

"The solutions are all thought up by people."

Seeing their expressions, Ruan Xingchen's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he smiled tentatively, "If there are difficulties, go and solve them. Raise problems and solve them, isn't that what we should do?"

"Well said!" Professor Zhao suddenly became enlightened and laughed heartily. "You're really going backwards as you get older. I'm not as open-minded as you, a little girl."

He took out a business card, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out as he handed it over with a smile: "This is my business card. I hope Mrs. Huo can share your ideas with me... I'm very interested in your plans for West Street."

Zhao Jinping.

It’s the famous Professor Zhao!

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but look surprised.

In his previous life, during the city development process, Zhong Shaoyang attended several drinking parties and came back cursing and complaining about how hateful those who wanted to develop Xicheng District were.

Among them, Professor Zhao's name appears particularly frequently.

Professor Zhao devoted a lot of effort to the planning of Xicheng District and wavered in the above ideas several times.

Unfortunately, under the capital game, Xicheng District’s disadvantages were infinitely magnified, and Professor Zhao failed in the end.

Grabbing the business card, Ruan Xingchen's heart beat rapidly, and he pursed his dry lips: "I will."

She could hear her own rapid heartbeat.

This project is an important step in the male protagonist Gu Zhao's career takeoff.

It can be said that without the victory in this project, it would have been impossible for Gu Zhao to take control of Gu Group so quickly.

Can she really go against the plot and the male lead?

but--

Looking around at the Angel Garden with peeling walls, the low and old West Street residential area, and the streets that exuded the atmosphere of old age, Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but tighten his palms.

Her heart told her that she wanted to give it a try.

Even if she fails in the end, at least she has tried her best.

After distributing the dumplings, Ruan Xingchen took his younger brothers and sisters to visit his grandmother.

Life is comfortable now, and there is no need to worry about money anymore. Shen Nai and others visit her frequently, and grandma looks much younger than before.

On the Internet, the news that Mrs. Huo and her siblings went to the orphanage to deliver supplies was also pushed to the top.
