Chapter 55 There are no good people in the Yao family

There are no good people in the Yao family

At noon, He Zheng took the financial director out, and Wen Ruan followed Yu Yang to the staff cafeteria.

Yu Yang first took her to complete the on-the-job procedures. They arrived late and the restaurant was almost full.

"Here he comes! Here he comes! It's the one next to Assistant Yu!"

There was a commotion in the restaurant, and everyone looked in Wen Ruan's direction almost at the same time.

When the people who attended the meeting in the morning saw her, their eyes were subtle and full of various thoughts. Those who did not attend the meeting did not know what she said, but were simply curious about her.

Everyone looked at her and discussed among themselves.

After experiencing Rong Li’s celebration banquet, Wen Ruan was immune to all kinds of gazes. She ignored the noise around her and followed Yu Yang to the dining area.

Just as she took the plate from Yu Yang, her phone rang. She picked it up and took a look at it. She put the plate back and turned to Yu Yang and said,

"I have to go out for something, so I won't eat here."

Yu Yang had just picked up a bowl of lion's head soup, but when he heard this, he put the bowl down again. "Ah, where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you there."

"No need." Wen Ruan took two steps, thought for a moment, and turned back. "I'm going out to have dinner with Jiang Qingyan. If you're free, you can take me there."

Have dinner with Jiang Qingyan? Yu Yang immediately put down the plate and said, "Okay."

Watching them come in and out, the discussion in the restaurant became more intense, especially in the Investment Department 5.

When Ni Fei saw Ruan coming in, he moved inside in advance to leave a seat for her, thinking that he would call her after she had chosen her meal. Now that he saw her leave, he felt disappointed.

"Hey, why did the boss leave?"

Zhang Qi, who was sitting opposite him, sneered, "Boss? It's a bit early for you to call me that. Be careful."

Ni Fei looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Qi snorted. "Director Zhu has already packed up and left. I heard he offended Wen Ruan at a meeting. How awesome! He just arrived and he took down a deputy director."

He lowered his voice and spoke sarcastically.

"She was fired by Rong Li, became Jiang Qingyan's lover for three years, and was then poached by CEO He with a high salary. Now, she's forced a deputy director out right after taking office. How can this woman be simple?"

"Haicheng is so big, and there are talented people everywhere. Does Minghe need a notorious talent like her? If not, then why did President He offer her a high salary to poach her? And why is he supporting her so strongly?"

"I'm afraid their strengths extend beyond just their performance... Anyway, let's just keep our heads down from now on."

Ni Fei knew that Zhu Jiexiu had resigned.

The morning meeting lasted until eleven o'clock, but Zhu Jiexiu came out before ten o'clock, and many people saw it.

President Shen also came out and took him to the office. The two came out at half past ten. President Shen patted him on the shoulder and went back to the meeting room. Zhu Jiexiu went back to the fifth department and directly took the box to pack his things. He looked grim and ignored anyone who asked.

He tore off his work badge and threw it on the table, then left with his things, with a cold face and silence throughout.

The door of the conference room was closed, and they didn't know what was going on. They were chatting excitedly in the small group, with all kinds of speculations. Later, someone said that it was Zhu Jiexiu who questioned Wen Ruan at the meeting, which angered President He.

The news is authentic, but I don’t know the details.

Although Ni Fei knew about this, he did not agree with Zhang Qi's statement.

"Mr. He clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. He recruited Wen Ruan because he was impressed by her abilities. And didn't you hear what Mr. He said at Rongli's celebration party about Wen Ruan being fired? That was Rongli's problem. Mr. He and Wen Ruan couldn't possibly have that kind of relationship. Stop talking nonsense here."

Zhang Qi took a mouthful of rice, raised his eyelids and looked at him, smiling maliciously, "Why are you angry? Are you interested in Wen Ruan too?"

Bang!

Ni Fei slammed his chopsticks down on the table, his expression grim. "Zhang Qi, are you sick? Keep your mouth shut!"

He used too much force and the chopsticks flew off the table and hit Zhang Qi's mouth. Zhang Qi covered his mouth and cried out in pain. He became angry and threw the chopsticks in his hand towards Ni Fei.

"You're the one who's sick. You can't even take a joke?"

The commotion here alarmed everyone in the restaurant. Some tried to stop the fight, some took photos with their mobile phones, and some sighed, "Wow, the five departments really stole the show today."

An investment director came, a deputy director left, and now people in the department are fighting again.

It’s so lively when Wen Ruan arrives.

…

Wen Ruan had no idea what happened in the staff cafeteria.

Yu Yang drove her there, and as soon as the car drove out of Minghe Building, He Zheng called.

"Why do you want to have dinner with Jiang Qingyan? Why did he ask you out? Do you have to go just because he asked you out? He definitely has bad intentions."

Wen Ruan glanced at Yu Yang in the driver's seat.

Yu Yang looked at her in the rearview mirror and blinked apologetically.

Wen Ruan asked Yu Yang to follow because he wanted him to report to He Zheng, so he didn't hide it from He Zheng. "Jiang Qingyan said there is something about Pan Rui. I'm going to listen to it."

Hearing the impatience in his words, she laughed, "Mr. He, are you jealous? There's no need. I won't go back to you."

He Zheng had just arrived at the private restaurant at No. 10 Jingwan Road.

He had an appointment with someone from the bank today, and just as he sat down in the box, he received a message from Yu Yang, "Mr. He, Jiang Qingyan wants to have dinner with Director Wen, and Director Wen is ready to go."

After reading the message, he asked the financial director to chat with a few people first while he went out to make a phone call.

When he heard Wen Ruan say that he would never go back to her, he thought to himself, I am also your ex-girlfriend. Aren’t you planning to eat me tonight?

Thinking about tonight, He Zheng was not so angry anymore, but he still felt aggrieved.

"Wen Ruan, you have no conscience. I just confessed my feelings to you, and you turned around and went to see Jiang Qingyan and even had dinner with him. How can I not be jealous?"

Wen Ruan laughed and said, "I have no conscience? If I really had no conscience, I wouldn't bring Yu Yang with me. I brought Yu Yang with me just to reassure you."

He Zheng felt a little better, "Are you really going?"

"Well, just listen to what he has to say. I'll be back in a meal."

Hearing that he had already arrived at the restaurant, Wen Ruan urged him to go in quickly, "Jiang Qingyan must have something to ask me at this time. Yu Yang is following me. Don't worry, just go in quickly."

Not long after hanging up the phone, He Zheng sent another message.

Wen Ruan thought he was going to give her some more instructions, but when she clicked on it, it was a photo, a close-up selfie.

He Zheng: [Actually, if you look closely, am I more handsome than Jiang Qingyan?]

Wen Ruan enlarged the photo. The background was the yard of No. 10 Jingwan Road. The clothes were today's clothes, and it was obviously taken just now.

Wen Ruan smiled silently and read it without replying.

…

The Chinese restaurant mentioned by Jiang Qingyan is easy to find, right at the intersection of South Street. Wen Ruan went there for the first time on the day of his interview at Rongli Capital.

After the interview, Jiang Qingyan wanted to treat her and took her to a restaurant there. It was a restaurant opened by a couple, and the decoration and dishes were particularly good. Later, they went there often, and Jiang Qingyan took the initiative to treat her more often.

That's why she dared to pursue him at that time.

Because he didn't seem to have no feelings for her, she thought he liked her, but he was just being reserved.

It turns out that he is a very good actor and can pretend to love someone even if he doesn't.

Jiang Qingyan chose a corner not near the window. Yu Yang did not follow him. He sat down diagonally behind the two of them, called the waiter to take the order, and glanced over there from time to time.

Wen Ruan sat down opposite Jiang Qingyan. Jiang Qingyan glanced at Yu Yang, pulled his lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his low and hoarse voice.

"He Zheng is so worried about you? Even when you go out for a meal, you have to let Yu Yang come with you."

Wen Ruan put the phone upside down on the table and laughed, "I called Yu Yang over. After all, given my relationship with Mr. Jiang, it's not appropriate for us to meet alone. With Yu Yang here, Mr. He can rest assured, and I can worry too."

She got straight to the point.

"Regarding the life and death of Zhang Tongtong's husband Pan Rui...what does President Jiang mean by this?"

Jiang Qingyan remained silent, looking at Wen Ruan without any hesitation.

Compared to her bright and gorgeous look at the cocktail party last night, her makeup and clothes today seemed more intellectual and calm.

When they first met, she was only 18 years old. Now she is 28 years old. In just over two months, she will be 29 years old. He witnessed her transformation from immaturity to maturity, and he participated in every step of her growth.

He thought he knew her best.

result……

"Mr. He is actually my first love."

After Yao Tianyu played the recording to him, he sent it to him with a sense of humor. He listened to it many times on the way from the company to Minghe and on the way from Minghe to here.

Wen Ruan actually talked to He Zheng.

Wen Ruan had never told him about this. In the past few years, they and He Zheng had been scheming against each other, but he had never noticed that they were lovers.

"I always thought I was your first love," Jiang Qingyan looked at her, "Wen Ruan, you are really amazing."

First love? Why are you suddenly talking about first love?

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment, then realized, Oh, so he knew what she said in the conference room?

On second thought, it should be Zhu Jiexiu who told Yao Tianyu, or probably Yao Tianyu who told him.

If he knew, he knew. Wen Ruan didn’t bother to think about how he knew it. She just looked at him and smiled.

"Same here, I always thought I was Mr. Jiang's first love. Mr. Jiang is amazing."

There was obviously no point in continuing the conversation on this topic, so Jiang Qingyan changed to another one, which was what he cared about most.

"You mistook your kindness towards me for love? You've always loved He Zheng the most? Wen Ruan, this isn't what you really mean, right?"

Jiang Qingyan had already placed the order before she came. The dishes started to be served after Wen Ruan sat down. Four dishes and one soup were all served at this moment, all ordered according to Wen Ruan's taste.

She was indeed hungry. She picked up a lotus root strip with chopsticks. When she heard what he said, she glanced at him with a smile.

"Of course I'm telling the truth. President Jiang is allowed to have a white moonlight in his heart, but I am not allowed to have one?"

Jiang Qingyan watched her chewing the lotus root strips slowly, was silent for a moment, then leaned over to fill her cup with tea.

"Wen Ruan, you don't love He Zheng. You said that just to help He Zheng save face in Minghe, so that Yao Wei wouldn't blame He Zheng and instead direct all the gossip towards you."

They have known each other for so many years and have been together for so many years. He taught her.

He could see right through her.

"You made such a great sacrifice because you wanted to use Minghe to take revenge on me and Yao Man. You felt guilty towards He Zheng, so you wanted to think more about him and do something for him."

"Wen Ruan, you don't have to. The compensation is enough for you to spend your whole life. You can use the money to live a comfortable life. There is really no need to get involved. There are no good people in the Yao family. He Zheng has Yao family blood in his body, so he is not a good person either."

Wen Ruan looked up and looked at him with a mocking expression.

"Boss Jiang, do you want to listen to what you are saying? There are no good people in the Yao family? Haha, you, Bai Yueguang, are the eldest daughter of the Yao family. When you marry into the Yao family successfully, you will also be half a member of the Yao family. Why are you still scolding yourself?"
