Now that theyâve discovered that there was a problem with the wall, Tan Rou would not be able to continue installing the equipment. On one hand, it was not safe to operate. On the other hand, the problem had already been discovered. If they did not report it, if something happened in the future, they would be in big trouble.
However, Jiang Min hadnât settled the matter yet. If Tan Rou reported this to Mayor Guo, Mayor Guo would definitely find trouble with Jiang Min. Tan Rou didnât want Jiang Min to get into trouble.
She urged Jiang Min to get Jiang Hao back as soon as possible so that she could carry out the next step of her plan.
Jiang Min promised her that she would solve Jiang Haoâs problem within three days and asked Tan Rou to put in a good word for her with Mayor Guo. Tan Rou promised her that she wouldnât report this matter to the higher-ups for the time being and would have a reason to slow down the progress to buy her some time.
In the evening, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu went for dinner. She told Zhuang Liu what had happened in the past two days and asked him to give her some advice.
âAh Liu, do you think what I did was right?â Tan Rou was actually a little confused. If it was in the past, she would definitely report this matter to Mayor Guo without hesitation, but now she could not do it.
The older she got, the more people she met. If those who were really good to her made a mistake, she would inevitably be biased.
Zhuang Liu didnât directly answer whether her actions were right or wrong. Instead, he analyzed the pros and cons with her. âIf you hadnât discovered the problem this time, the main person in charge of the Jiang family would have been locked up. Moreover, in the past few years, the country has been strictly investigating cases of jerry-building. If they are discovered, the Jiang familyâs reputation will be damaged and they will lose many customers because of this reason.â
Tan Rou naturally understood this point. âThe Jiang familyâs reputation will definitely be affected, but if Senior Jiang isnât the person in charge, then the implications will be much smaller. Senior Jiang is very good to me. I donât want to see her get into trouble.â
âGive her three days then,â Zhuang Liu comforted. âIf she canât solve this problem within three days, then you donât have to hide it for her. Youâve already done well enough. This matter isnât your problem. Thereâs no need for you to continue dwelling on it.â
âYes. Iâll give her another three days.â Tan Rou nodded.
Jiang Minâs speed was much faster than Tan Rou had imagined. The next afternoon, Jiang Min called Tan Rou and asked her to come to the hospital as soon as possible. She had something urgent to inform Tan Rou.â
Tan Rou hurriedly drove to the hospital that Jiang Min mentioned and saw Jiang Min at the door with an excited expression.
âSenior Jiang, it seems like youâve succeeded.â Tan Rou said with a smile.
Jiang Min took Tan Rou to the side and whispered to her, âIâve already succeeded halfway. My second uncle is receiving treatment inside. I specifically asked to come to this hospital. Although my second uncle strongly objected, my father felt that this hospital was closest, so he sent him here.â
âHow did you get him to the hospital?â Tan Rou asked. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Min said, âLast night, I had been planning it. In the end, I decided to pour hot soup on his legs. When his skin is scalded, he must come to the hospital for treatment. When the doctor sees it, he will know that he is pretending to be sick.â
Tan Rou was convinced by this method. âArenât you afraid of burning yourself?â
âNo, I was wearing gloves.â Jiang Min beamed with joy as she introduced her cooking method to Tan Rou. âI made a soup thatâs good for bone recovery. I specially chose to bring the soup to Second Uncle when he came over for dinner. Then, I pretended that my hand slipped and poured all the soup onto his leg. He was in so much pain that he jumped up. Both his legs were fine, and there were no signs of fractures at all.â
âDid your father see it?â Tan Rou asked.
âOf course!â This was where Jiang Minâs joy came from.
âWhen my dad saw my second uncle stand up and his expression immediately changed. He didnât even bother to teach me a lesson for spilling the soup and directly started asking my second uncle what happened to his leg.â
Jiang Min held her stomach and laughed. âYou know what? My second uncleâs fake cast was attached with a magnetic button. After he was scalded, he pulled the fake cast off in an instant. When my dad saw that scene, his face darkened. He wanted to kick my second uncle out immediately.â
Tan Rou nodded slightly. âIâll make you some ointment for burns. Give it to your second uncle so that he can recover faster. That way, you can withdraw from this project.â
