Chapter 304 The blood-feuding enemy of the down-and-out boy (28)
The project Jiang Qing inspected this time was an aquatic product breeding project in the countryside.
The location is in a rural area, and ponds in several villages have been taken over. After the expansion, they will raise species unique to the area, which can be regarded as a project to revitalize the countryside.
His uncle is the leader of this project. Because it is an officially supported project, many local officials will come.
This time his uncle brought him here specially, the main purpose was to let him expand his local connections in City Y.
Jiang Qing had done a lot of homework for this project in advance. When introducing it to the officials, he could give accurate figures for everything from the estimated revenue for one year to the average number of fry per square meter in a fish pond.
.
Not only was his uncle listening with satisfaction, but even the officials kept praising Jiang Qing as a good young man and told his uncle to train him well, and he would definitely be a good talent in the future.
In the face of all the compliments, Jiang Qing always looked unfazed. Not only did he not look proud at all, but the more he was praised, the more humble he became.
And he doesn't really take anyone's praise to heart, let alone who he thinks is a good person just because someone praises him.
This is the experience and lesson he learned from Sister Xu before. After all, there are not many people in this world who are as stupid and kind as Zhao Taoyao.
The afternoon schedule was very busy and packed, and the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, they had dinner at a farmhouse at the entrance of the local village.
At the dinner party, everyone kept urging people to drink and smoke.
Jiang Qing didn't say anything on the surface and acted very decently, but in fact he couldn't get used to the smell of cigarettes at all.
In the middle, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the main road at the entrance of the village to get some fresh air under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
This is the entrance to the village, and it is also the largest village nearby. It has the largest bus transfer station in Shilibaxiang.
At this point in the evening, people leaving and entering the village come and go, which happens to be the busiest time here.
Jiang Qing is working on projects to revitalize rural commerce, but is not actually interested in the lives of rural people.
He stood at the door to breathe, looked across the road for a while, and then planned to continue going back to socialize.
Just at this time, a bus from the city stopped at the bus stop opposite, and a group of passengers got off the bus.
Jiang Qing glanced at him and turned around quickly as he was about to leave.
When he saw that petite back, he felt that it was very familiar, but he subconsciously felt that he had seen it wrong.
She should be at home, how could she appear here?
But there were too many people getting off the bus. As soon as he turned his head, the petite figure was lost in the crowd.
He stood there, staring in that direction, searching the crowd like a searchlight.
At this time, the street lights finally turned on at the bus stop, illuminating the bus stop in the countryside.
The people who got off the bus here all knew the way home. Those who were in a hurry to go home after returning from the city dispersed after a while.
The petite figure that he was extremely familiar with appeared in his sight again.
I saw her holding a small backpack, standing on the bus stop, looking up at the vehicle information on the sign at the bus stop next to her.
Jiang Qing's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and his body reacted faster than others. He didn't expect how Zhao Taoyao could escape, so he raised his legs and rushed in her direction.
But because he ran too fast and didn't look at the road, he accidentally knocked over the vegetable basket carried by an old lady. The fruits and flour inside were scattered all over the ground, making a mess.
He wanted to rush forward again, but was stopped by the old lady. The old lady babbled in the local dialect, meaning she wanted Jiang Qing to compensate.
Jiang Qing came out to get some fresh air. She happened to have no cash on hand, and the old lady did not accept payment via mobile phone. She also gave Jiang Qing's explanation that she would not let him leave unless he paid cash.
The aunts from the village were all around. Seeing this, they thought the old lady was being bullied, and they all gathered around her, asking Jiang Qing to give an explanation.
Zhao Taoyao, who was reading information on the bus stop, heard the movement over there and looked around curiously.
At this glance, he passed through the layers of people and met Jiang Qing's eyes.
Zhao Taoyao froze on the spot for a moment, then turned pale with fright. She hugged her small backpack tightly and ran away in a panic.
Jiang Qing was really anxious. He finally made it clear. He used his cell phone to transfer five hundred yuan to a slightly younger aunt. After he was able to escape, he chased in the direction where Zhao Taoyao had just run away.
Zhao Taoyao didn't dare to run into the village, so he ran to the mountain road next to him in a panic.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, so dark that it was difficult to see the road clearly. Coupled with the mountainous road, Zhao Taoyao stumbled even more while running, tripping and falling several times on the road.
Jiang Qing had long legs and long feet. If she was chasing after him about a hundred meters behind, he would soon catch up with her.
Zhao Taoyao tried her best to escape, but the distance between the two kept getting closer and closer, and Jiang Qing's heavy breathing got closer and closer.
In desperation, just when she was about to be chased, she turned onto a side road that looked much narrower.
It turned out that there was a steep slope next to the path. She turned around and ran a few steps when her foot slipped and she missed the step. She lost control of her body and was about to roll down the cliff.
At this moment, Jiang Qing chased after Zhao Taoyao and saw that she was about to fall. He almost subconsciously reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.
However, the effect of force is reciprocal. He did not stand firm and rolled down the slope with Zhao Taoyao in his arms.
The whole time he fell, he held Zhao Taoyao tightly in his arms.
But the slope was so steep that the two of them rolled several times and hit a tree below before stopping.
The two of them groaned after the collision and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.
Jiang Qing struggled to hold himself up, loosened his hands that were tightly protecting Zhao Taoyao's head and body, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Taoyao, you are very powerful, how did you escape, and you know you can do it without an ID card?"
Taking an intercity bus, where do you want to escape?"
Zhao Taoyao pushed Jiang Qing away hard: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I don't want to be locked up by you every day anymore. You are crazy and crazy!"
After saying that, she wanted to get up from the ground, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle that made her gasp. When she lowered her head, she saw that her foot had been scratched by something, and there was already blood from it.
The outside of the white socks seeped out.
Jiang Qing frowned and held her down: "Don't move! You're hurt!"
Zhao Taoyao pushed him away angrily: "If you hadn't chased me, I would have been on the transfer bus now, how could I have been hurt!"
She was so angry that she didn't notice that Jiang Qing took a slight breath of pain from being pushed.
