Contract Marriage With Mysterious President
Chapter 279 Investigating Together

"The meeting is over. You can go to have dinner now. Mr. Carter and Miss Newell, please wait for a moment," said the leader of the municipal part committee. After the investment promotion conference held by the municipal part committee was over, Richard and Amy were asked to stay for a while.

The leader asked them to sit opposite to him and made a cup of tea for them.

"The reason why I let you stay is that I have something to discuss with you," said the vice mayor supervising inviting investments politely.

"Yeah, sure." Although Richard sat beside Amy, he didn't take a single look at her.

"I have a program and after my consideration, I thought only your groups have the ability to work on this project," said the vice mayor. He handed the materials to Richard and Amy to read.

Just now, he had shown many programs to other companies in the meeting. But this program was intended for these two companies because only the HD Group and the Newell Group were capable of working on this project.

After reading the materials, Richard and Amy were very interested in this project.

The project aimed at building a large resort, where the local people could start rural tourism, which could advance the economy and bring well-being to people there.

Richard had gone to this place before. It was a beautiful place to develop tourism. Road was available there so they could save a large amount of money, which was better than most scenic spots in the remote villages.

Amy had heard of this place before but she had never been there. Thus, she knew nothing about this place.

"What is the characteristic of this place? It is quite far from the city," asked Amy.

"There is information about this place in the materials. But since you have been abroad before, you may not familiar with the place. We can go there on Friday and you can decide whether you will work on this project," answered the vice mayor.

"This Friday?" Amy and Richard asked together. They were both free this Friday. The arrangement of the vice mayor was appropriate. If they went there on Friday, they could stay there for one night and then investigate the place on Saturday and Sunday.

"Are you very busy on Friday?" asked the vice mayor. Seeing they were so surprised, he thought they might be very busy on Friday.

"I'm free. I just think it is a little hasty because it is Wednesday today," said Amy. She wanted to finish a great project after returning home so as to live up to what Mr. and Mrs. Newell expected of her.

"It is not very far from here. Although located in the suburb, it is still within R City. It may take two hours to drive there. That is just right. If the place is very distant, people won't travel there and there is no need to invest," said the vice mayor.

"OK, I will make some arrangements. Let's contact on Friday," said Amy. She was very interested in this project since she always wanted to spend her weekends in a quiet place. If the project was finished, she could go there on weekends.

Then the three people went to the hall to have dinner.

"Mom, where do you go? Why don't you take me with you?" asked Allan.

Hearing that her mother would go out, he wanted to go with her. He knew that Richard would go there too, so he had a strong desire to go there because it had been a long time since he last met Richard. "I go there for work so you can't go with me. If we think it is a good place to build a resort after investigation, we can go there on weekends in the future. Is that alright?" said Amy.

"Fine. Can I go to see Grandma?" said Allan. He had developed a good relationship with Cathy. He missed her.

"Of course. I'll call her to pick you up from school. You can play with her for several days," said Amy.

After packing up her luggage, Amy drove to the appointed place.

Richard and the vice mayor had already arrived. Amy found there was one more person beside them. The village chief also came. He wanted to go home so he went in the vice mayor's car. "Here we go. We are expected to have lunch in the village. The village chief has prepared well. As soon as we get there, the lunch is ready," said the vice mayor.

Then all of them got in the car. The vice mayor went first because he was familiar with the road.

Richard planned to go after Amy. Then moment Amy was going to leave after turning the car on, there was someone knocking at the window.

Amy looked out. It was Richard.

"What's going on?" Amy rolled down the window and asked.

"There was something wrong with my car. I have to go in your car. " Richard pointed at his car in frustration.

How came the car went wrong without any reason? At the thought of staying with him in a car, Amy felt depressed. Although he always helped her, such as carrying her to the company when raining and accompanying her to the hospital when she was sick, there was still a huge gulf between them, which made her uncomfortable.

"If you are reluctant to take me, I'll call the vice mayor to give me a ride," said Richard. Feeling her unwillingness, Richard intended to call the vice mayor.

"Fine, get in the car. I'll take you there." Amy opened the door and let him in.

"Let me drive. I'm more familiar with the road," said Richard. After his requisition was met, Richard offered to drive the car.

"OK." Amy wouldn't want to drive the car because she didn't have a sense of direction, especially in a strange place.

Amy got off the driver's seat and went to sit in the passenger seat. But after thinking for a while, she moved to the rear because she didn't want to be close to him.

Richard got into the car, fastened the seat belt and drove fast to catch the vice mayor without catching a glimpse of Amy.

"Richard, can you pass the water to me?" Amy forgot to take the water with her when she got off. She was a little thirsty now. Richard gave her a black bottle. Amy got it but found that was not hers.000000
