their journey, enduring wind and rain, with the drought worsening as they got closer to their destination. As a result, their food supplies dwindled."Madam Zong, thank you so much. I really appreciat...Fang Jinxiu pursed her lips and remained silent, only thankful that she hadn't brought Zong Yu out on this trip. If Zong Yu had been here, he probably would have gotten angry by now.

The chairperson can take on the responsibility, but she cannot be away from the village for too long. It would be fine if the manor was already built and ready, but now that everything in the village is just starting to take shape, it wouldn't make sense for her to split her attention between running the chamber of commerce and managing the village affairs.

"Lord Pan, I can take over the Chamber of Commerce. The position of President is just a title; it doesn't matter to me whether I hold it or not."

"I suppose you want me to be the head of this chamber of commerce because you don't trust anyone else with important decisions,"

"So, I recommend a local manager from Luoshui City. He can handle the day-to-day affairs of the Chamber of Commerce while I'm away. I'll step back and focus on guiding the overall development of the Chamber."

"How do you see it"

Actually, by this point, Pan Zhian had little to object to. Fang Jinshu might have planned everything when she arrived, and she didn't intend to stay in Luoshui City for long at all.

This local candidate for the managing director of the Chamber of Commerce is probably the person she initially proposed as the president when she first suggested setting up the chamber.

"Lady Zong had already made up her mind, hadn't she"

Even if I object, you'll find a way to persuade me.

Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled, blushing. Shame on her, was she acting like a lovesick girl

She and A-Yu had just reconciled a few days ago, and she didn't want to have another unpleasant argument over this. A-Yu ignored her, and she couldn't even bring herself to work.

And don't even talk about making money.

"Alright, since Lady Zong has already thought everything through, let's do it your way."

"I hope you will not disappoint my trust and expectations."

After leaving the magistrate's office, Fang Jinshu was about to head back when she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Fang Jinshi!"

That was Zhao Xingzhou's voice.

Fang Jinshi closed her eyes. It turned out that this bad premonition was the reason.

She pretended not to hear and continued walking forward. After Zhao Xingzhou finished speaking, he found that not only did the person not stop, but their pace also quickened considerably.

He rushed after him, shouting all the while.

"Fang Jinxiu, stop right there!"

Well, there's no escaping it.

She turned around, her face full of surprise, "It's Young Master Zhao Jiu after all. I just thought I was hearing things. It really is you in the middle of the night."

Zhao Xingzhou ran to her, staring at her.

"You just now, clearly pretended not to hear and wanted to run away directly. Don't think I don't know."

Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow and chose to change the subject.

"Young Master Zhao, why are you here at the government office so late"

Zhao Xingzhou saw that she was putting on a show again, and said bluntly, "Besides coming to find you, what else could I do"

Fāng Jǐnxiù couldn't help but shake her head. As she glanced at Yù Lián behind her, she saw the latter staring intently at Zhào Xīngzhōu, her eyes fixed on him without blinking.

Her heart skipped a beat. She reached out and waved her hand in front of Yu Lian's face, "Good girl, no reaction at all."

Fan Jinshu coughed heavily, shifting closer and using her body to block Yu Lian's view.

She glared at Zhao Xingzhou again, her face turning sour. What a show-off, that kid, looking so dashing.

"What do you want"

"I'm not your mother, are you a dog with its nose The moment I entered the city, you knew where I was and came looking for me."

"How can you still be breastfeeding"

To make his family's Yu Lian like this, do you think Zong Yu would let it go

Zhao Xingzhou's life is really hanging by a thread.

“Let’s get this over with. Once we’re done, I’m heading home to bed.”

Zhaoxingzhou hated how Fang Jinshu treated him, was he some kind of loathsome rat or cockroach that she couldn't stand to be around

When other women saw him, their eyes would be filled with love or shyness. Only Fang Jinshu, always gave him a look of disdain.

The child's self-esteem was severely damaged.

"I've prepared a place for you! Come and get you."

Fang Jinxiu helplessly said, "I told you last time, I don't live in your Zhao family. You settle this with your father and older brother"

Zhao Xingzhou was wronged to death, "Who said I wanted you to live at the Zhao family Am I such a forgetful person"

"Since you last left, I've prepared a new home for you, just in case you ever come back and have nowhere to go."

"Who says I have nowhere to lay my head There are plenty of empty rooms in the inns of this city."

She repeatedly rejected his kindness, and Zhao Xingzhou couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

"Will the inn be more comfortable than where I'm staying now"

"You, woman, wouldn't know how to enjoy your blessings even if they were handed to you!"

Fang Jinxiu nodded repeatedly, starting to talk nonsense, “You’re right. My grandfather taught me from a young age that children must endure hardship. Only through suffering can one become a superior person.”

"I appreciate your kindness, but I already have a place to stay. You should head home and get some rest."

A trace of melancholy flashed in Zhao Xingzhou's eyes, and the fist he was hiding in his sleeve clenched suddenly.disappointed and hurt her deeply, at least their son was not raised in vain."You, you've become like this, and you're still concerned with what your mother is doing Compared to your father's problems,...
