In the city council office, the leader was on the phone with someone. “Mr. Yan, don’t worry. This project has always been under my control and hasn’t been approved yet,” Fan Shili said as he held the phone. “Yes, yes, no problem. I’ll kick this proposal back to the town later.”

Then, the person on the phone said something, and the call ended. Fan Shili rubbed his forehead.

He wondered how Xiao Lingyu had offended this Mr. Yan. When he heard the news of the proposal, he immediately came to stop it.

Honestly, Fan Shili was quite optimistic about this project.

If this project was successful, it could also be considered one of his greater achievements. However, he just got this post last year. He had to develop many connections, and the most important was the big local family, the Yan family.

It was unknown where the Yan Family received the news that a woman called Xiao Lingyu had submitted an investment proposal for the project to develop Taoyuan Village into a tourism base. The Yan Family called him to block the proposal. As Fan Silin called his secretary to send the documents back, he received a call.

“Big Boss, the person in charge of the Taoyuan Village project requests to see you!”

Fan Shili wanted his secretary to deny the person entry, but after thinking for a while, he still let Xiao Lingyu in.

After Xiao Lingyu found out the reasons for the project approval being blocked, she thought for a while and decided to directly come to the authorities to ask about it.

Thus, she came directly to the city council.

Normally, with her status as an ordinary person, it was very difficult for her to meet the Big Boss. However, she was lucky and had the advantage of natural beauty. As soon as she entered the hall, she attracted the attention of many people. Naturally, many men volunteered to serve her.

Xiao Lingyu was dressed very formally. She wore a blue undershirt and a black business suit, and carried a file bag in her hand. One look and one could tell that she was an elite businesswoman. No one dared to underestimate her.

Xiao Lingyu smoothly arrived at the big leader’s office.

The moment she saw the big leader, Xiao Lingyu introduced herself very politely, “Big Leader fan, hello. I am Xiao Lingyu from Taoyuan Village. I’m the applicant behind the proposal to develop Taoyuan Village into a tourism base!”

When Fan Shili saw the woman who came in, his eyes were slightly surprised. ‘This woman is actually very beautiful.’ She was even more beautiful than any celebrity he had ever seen. However, there was a clear difference between her and a celebrity.

The beauty of a celebrity was mostly packaged by the company. Most of them had undergone plastic surgery and minor adjustments. They also had a lot of makeup.

However, Xiao Lingyu’s beauty was natural. Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was fair. Without makeup, she was very gorgeous.

However, how did this beautiful woman offend Mr. Yan?

Fan Shili sized up Xiao Lingyu and nodded slightly. “Hello, Ms. Xiao. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Leader Fan, I’m actually here to ask when will the application be approved? My funds are already in place, and I’m just waiting for your approval.”

Leader Fan thought for a moment before saying, “Go back and wait for the news!” There was no way he would tell Xiao Lingyu his work secrets.

Xiao Lingyu did not leave immediately. She glanced at Fan Shili and said to him, “Leader Fan, I see that you have dark circles, and your face is pale. Did you not sleep well at night and have nightmares?”

Fan Shili was stunned and asked sternly, “Madam Xiao, it sounds like you’ve put in a lot of effort before coming here. Who did you hear that from?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head calmly and said, “Leader Fan, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t hear it from anyone. I only saw it from your expression.” In reality, this was something derived from Xiao Ling.

Fan Shili was puzzled. He stared at Xiao Lingyu with a sharp gaze and asked suspiciously, “You saw it from my face? Are you a doctor?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I’m not a doctor, but I’ve studied under a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner before. I can tell some of the symptoms.” Of course, this was fake too.

Fan Shili thought for a moment and said, “Then look at me. What exactly is the cause?” He had been in this state for a long time. He had also gone to the hospital to have a look. The doctor only said that he needed rest. They prescribed him sleeping pills.

The effect was not good even after taking the pills for a week. He planned to return to the hospital, but he didn’t expect Xiao Lingyu to spot his problem so quickly.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Leader Fan, when you went to the hospital for a check-up, did the doctor tell you that you did not rest well?”

Fan Shili nodded. “That’s right. What about you? Did you notice anything wrong?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t see any problems. I saw the same thing as the doctor. You didn’t have a good rest, and that’s why your mental state isn’t good.

“So when you sleep at night, you’ll have nightmares. The sleeping pills are not going to help. When you rest, you’ll still be affected by bad dreams. It’s a vicious cycle.”

Fan Shili was slightly taken aback. Xiao Lingyu had diagnosed everything correctly.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Lingyu seriously. Then, he coldly chased her away and said, “Miss Xiao, I’m very busy right now. Do you have anything else to do? If you don’t have anything else, please leave!”

Since Xiao Lingyu could diagnose his condition, she could probably fix it too. But…

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

Xiao Lingyu did not get angry. She only nodded and said, “Alright then, Leader Fan. I won’t trouble you anymore. If you need anything, you can call me!” Xiao Lingyu took out a business card and placed it on his desk.

Her main purpose for coming was to meet Fan Shili. Since her purpose had been achieved, she would not stay any longer.

After Xiao Lingyu left, Fan Shili leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

‘This Xiao Lingyu is quite capable…’

He raised his head and looked at the document before him. ‘I probably shouldn’t return this document so soon.’

As soon as Xiao Lingyu came out, Zeng Yaozu was waiting at the door with his car.

As soon as Xiao Lingyu got in the car, Zeng Yaozu asked, “How is it? Have you seen Fan Shili?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, I have, but the situation is not optimistic!”

Zeng Yaozu was shocked and asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “After I entered Fan Shili’s office, I saw that my project application was buried under another document. I noticed that pile of documents are all the rejected projects.”

“Huh?!” Zeng Yaozu did not expect such a situation either. Then, he frowned and said worriedly, “From the looks of it, the project approval will probably be rejected. We need to think of a way to make Leader Fan change his mind. Otherwise, everything you’ve done in the past two months will have been wasted.”

Xiao Lingyu frowned as she thought of Fan Shili. She sighed softly and said, “Let’s wait and see first!”

Fan Shili’s insomnia was not something that could be cured with normal drugs.

The next day, when Fan Shili arrived at the office, the Secretary brought a bottle of mineral water and said to fan Shili with some doubt, “Sir, the people in the security offices said that a distant relative of yours heard that you have insomnia, so she brought you a bottle of health fruit wine. She said that this wine could cure your insomnia! Just a small glass before you go to sleep will do.”

Fan Shili was holding a pen, and his hand that was about to approve the documents paused. He asked suspiciously, “A distant relative of mine? What’s her surname?”

The secretary said, “The people in the security room said that her surname is Xiao!”

“Xiao?!” Fan Shili narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light burst out of them.

The secretary noticed the big leader’s expression and said carefully, “Big leader, is this distant relative real? Plus, who would store wine in a plastic mineral water bottle? Why don’t I throw it out?”

Fan Shili’s sharp eyes swept over the secretary, and then he waved his hand and said, “Put down the wine and leave!”

After the secretary left, Fan Shili twirled the pen in his hand and looked at the wine on the table.

‘Health wine, treating insomnia, surname Xiao. Who else could it be other than her?’
