Chapter 48 The Perfect Son-in-Law

The Ruan Group.

Ruan Ying rubbed her sore temples. Despite having just recovered from her mental health issues, she was already engrossed in her work, staring at the dense reports on the computer screen.

She rubbed her stiff shoulders, picked up the long-cold black tea, and was about to take a sip.

The assistant suddenly pushed the door open and entered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Mr. Ruan, fantastic news! NovaVoy Group has extended a cooperation invitation, seeking to invest tens of billions in the new energy and biopharmaceutical sectors!"

Ruan Ying sat up straight, somewhat incredulous.

"Are you sure it's NovaVoy?"

This business tycoon, which controls the industrial chain in North America and has extended its reach to China, has always been extremely demanding of its partners. Yet, it has now extended an olive branch to the Ruan family.

There was no contact between Nguyen and NovaVoy, not even a matchmaker. How could such a big collaboration just fall into place out of thin air?

Ruan Ying quickly scrolled through the cooperation terms in the electronic document, her pupils slightly contracting.

The terms offered by the other party were so generous as to be almost bizarre, including an investment of tens of billions of yuan and a promise to open up access to core technologies.

"Could it have been sent by mistake? Or is someone impersonating me?"

The business world is like a battlefield; such seemingly impossible windfalls often conceal deadly traps.

Just as Ruan Ying was pondering how to verify the information, the dedicated phone on her desk rang.

Ruan Ying pressed the answer button, and a female voice from the front desk came through.

"Mr. Ruan, Mr. Fu Jingchen, President of the Fu Group, is in the reception area and hopes to have a meeting with you."

Why would your humble servant visit so suddenly?

Ruan Ying suppressed the chaotic thoughts that NovaVoy had thrown at her by the sudden collaboration invitation and responded.

"Please come to the VIP room, Mr. Fu. I'll be there shortly."

When Ruan Ying pushed open the VIP room door, Fu Jingchen had already politely stood up and was waiting.

"Mr. Ruan, I apologize for disturbing you by coming without prior notice."

Ruan Ying looked at the man in front of her, who possessed a maturity beyond his years and always maintained a just-right distance when speaking, leaving no room for criticism.

I think it's more pleasing to the eye for her.

Fu Wang seemed like a well-behaved child, it's such a pity that such a thing happened.

"You don't need to be so polite with me, young minister. What brings you to my door?"

"I'm here today to thank Mr. Ruan."

The man sat upright and spoke in a steady tone.

"If it weren't for President Ruan's willingness to keep me in the Ruan family for a little longer, I would probably be engaged to Chairman Li by now."

"As you know about Xiao Wang's situation, Father has temporarily put aside the idea of ​​arranging my engagement and has also dealt with and clarified all the rumors about the Ruan family."

Ruan Ying could tell that the other person was very careful with their words, and that every sentence was measured and appropriate.

"I only helped with small things, don't worry about it. It's good that the rumors have been cleared up, so it won't bother you anymore."

Seeing Fu Jingchen's hesitant expression, she chuckled softly.

"Xiao Chen, I see you're here today for more than just to express your gratitude. Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush with me."

"Mr. Ruan, besides expressing my gratitude, there is another important matter I would like to discuss with you today."

With slender fingers, she gently pushed the document aside. The English logo reflected a faint light under the lamp, and the text was that of the NovaVoy Group, which had just filled Ruan Ying with doubts.

Ruan Ying looked up, her gaze instantly sharpening.

"Your humble servant... what is this?"

"I am the CEO of NovaVoy."

Fu Jingchen's tone was calm, "The reason we extended the cooperation invitation is twofold: firstly, we value the Ruan family's capabilities, and secondly..."

The man paused, but his gaze remained unblinking as he looked at Ruan Ying scrutinizing him. "I wanted to show you my sincerity."

Ruan Ying frowned, feeling not only utter shock but also a sense of foreboding.

The man's voice grew increasingly deep.

"I want to pursue Xiaoyi."

The office fell into a deathly silence.

"Xiao Chen, is this a thought that only came to you after you entered the Ruan family?" Ruan Ying let out a long breath.

"Don't be fooled by Xiaoyi's outward appearance. She has many flaws. She's incredibly lazy, spoiled, difficult to please, loves to whine and throw tantrums... You need to understand that relationships aren't just a game of judging by appearances."

The mother didn't hold back when criticizing her daughter, as if she was afraid that the man in front of her was just blinded by his daughter's glamorous appearance.

Not a single word she said was a lie, after all, she enjoyed spoiling her daughter so much that she became adorable.

The man chuckled softly, a gentle ripple appearing in his eyes, his voice sincere.

"Mr. Ruan, this idea didn't start with the Ruan family; it was something I had when I was teaching at University A."

As for the shortcomings that Ruan Ying mentioned…

"Isn't every single one of them just her being cute?"

How could it be considered a flaw? It's more like she makes people impulsively want to "bully" her.

Ruan Ying held her forehead, her heart filled with turmoil.

So this kid had his eye on Xiaoyi since he was a teacher. The teacher-student relationship... isn't that perverted?

Ruan Ying looked up and glanced again at the other person's sharp suit and handsome, composed features.

But this is a top-tier eligible bachelor who is handsome, makes money, teaches, and has been secretly in love with his daughter for a long time.

That's a multi-billion dollar investment from NovaVoy, it's practically like dollars falling from the sky.

This is practically the perfect son-in-law straight out of a movie or TV show... his allure is just too strong.

Ruan Ying feigned a stern look and calmly said, "Your Majesty, in the end, marriage is a matter of great importance and depends on Xiao Yi's own wishes."

"Besides, you are aware of the situation regarding Xiaoyi's engagement to the Shen family."

The man stood up and gently pushed the cooperation proposal in front of Ruan Ying. "Don't worry, Ms. Ruan, I know what I'm doing regarding the engagement."

"NovaVoy's investment of 10 billion is a business collaboration, and it is just a token of my sincerity in pursuing Xiaoyi."

Fu Jingchen leaned forward slightly, his well-defined fingers lightly tapping the cooperation proposal.

"Mr. Ruan, NovaVoy's current business empire is only just beginning."

The man's voice was deep and resolute, with a subtle, alluring quality at the end.

“No matter what billions of dollars are invested in the future, or what multinational industries are involved, NovaVoy will be just like Nguyen’s, everything will be under Nguyen’s control.”

Ruan Ying struggled to speak, "Xiao Chen, even if you make these promises, marriage is ultimately Xiao Yi's choice."

"As her mother, all I can do is ask her what she thinks."

Fu Jingchen looked at the other person's stiff posture, and the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly, as if he had understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Agreeing to ask on his behalf implies a bias.

That incongruous thing is still barely surviving abroad, and the Shen family's mad dog is practically out of the game.

As for that eyesore...

No one can stand the thought of their son, whom they've raised for over a decade, having designs on their beloved daughter.

He was naturally the best choice in his mother-in-law's eyes.

The man felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he had a lot of money.

Her delicate and adorable figure kept appearing in my mind.

This pursuit, which began at the very first meeting, is finally about to move from undercurrents to blatant openness.
