Rong Zhen died unexpectedly and was bound to a small, newly-released system. In their rookie phase, the person and the system couldn't snag any good missions, so they could only go to novel wor...
Chapter 118 Candlelight Dinner Small Gift
It’s just a French meal, which is nothing to Mr. Rong, who is now worth billions.
"Okay, you come and reserve a seat." Rong Zhen waved his hand and readily agreed, and by the way quietly notified the housekeeper to send a special gift.
Ying Han was smiling as he lowered his head to choose a restaurant and didn't notice her little trick.
The place was quickly chosen and the housekeeper arrived.
Rong Zhen took the briefcase and, meeting Ying Han's suspicious gaze, said, "I left something at home this morning, and the housekeeper happened to find it and brought it to me."
Ying Han thought it was some personal property and didn't pay much attention to it.
The dinner time is in the evening, and they have a meeting with the heads of various departments in the afternoon.
Ying Han had already prepared the content of the meeting in advance, and he just had to wait for Rong Zhen to arrive to listen and make a summary.
I have to say that having him really saves me a lot of worry.
Rongzhen once again expressed the sigh of a capitalist and gave a thumbs up to Mr. Ruan, the mentor who planted the trees for his predecessors.
The afternoon meeting went very smoothly. The main content was everyone's plans for the new year, and then a general discussion on how to implement and achieve the goals.
Last year's bumper harvest allowed them to see the capabilities of the new president. Although there were members of the old president's team and Ying Han's influence, being able to control these people and work for her was also a kind of ability.
Now that Rongzhen's ability has made them see a brighter future for the company, isn't everyone excited?
It is a beautiful thing to do in the new year.
After reading it, Rongzhen nodded repeatedly and praised them all at the meeting.
They are really good cows and horses. She will give them a lot of funds, and they must do their work well.
After the meeting, both parties were satisfied and happy.
At the end, Rong Zhen did not go back upstairs. Instead, while others were still organizing their discussion, she hooked her index finger at Ying Han, and the two of them left the meeting room one after the other.
As soon as they left, the meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the two people's backs as they walked away.
One of the thoughtful female managers was the first to break the silence and said with a smile, "It looks like we're about to have a happy event."
Everyone present was smart, so how could they not know what she was referring to?
After understanding, the old people who had followed Father Ruan couldn't help but say with relief: "Yes, when Old Ruan was alive, he was always worried that the eldest daughter would not be able to understand things. After all of us old guys are gone, she will be alone in the world and feel uncomfortable."
That’s good now. They finally see some signs. How far away will the banquet be in the future?
Everyone is happy to see this and some are even a little impatient.
"I didn't expect that Special Assistant Ying would take first place. He's indeed the person that Mr. Ruan had such high hopes for."
"Of course, he's handsome, young and promising, who wouldn't like him?"
"Tsk tsk, if Mr. Ruan hadn't seen this in advance and prepared it for the eldest daughter, I would have wanted to matchmake my niece at home."
"Boss Ruan made a lot of preparations back then. There are many talented young people in the company. If you're interested, go check them out. It won't be difficult to spot one."
"Then I'll take more time to look at it, hahaha."
The meeting room was filled with gossip and joy, but the two people who were favored by everyone had already walked away.
As usual, Ying Han drove and took Rong Zhen to the dining place he had booked.
Rongzhen sat in the back of the car, watching him concentrate on driving. Feeling his increasingly smooth driving skills, she couldn't help but joke, "I've been letting you drive for me all this time. Do you want me to pay you more?"
Ying Han nodded seriously: "The capitalist has finally found his conscience. I'm so touched. I don't want it anymore."
Rongzhen leaned his forehead against the car window, his eyes curved with laughter.
The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere continued until the destination, a Western restaurant on the top floor of the building with simple and low-key decoration, yet exquisite and elegant.
Ying Han had booked a window seat in advance. Outside the window was a bustling street with flashing neon lights and the warm and peaceful lights of thousands of homes. Inside the window was a candlelight dinner with flowers and the melodious sound of a violin.
It was only after Rongzhen sat down that she realized it was a candlelight dinner.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Assistant Ying who was sitting opposite her and waving to the waiter to start serving the dishes. It didn't seem like there was anything special going on.
Is she overthinking it?
But since she was already here, Rongzhen chose to sit back and wait and see whether she was just overthinking it or someone was just pretending when the time came.
It’s not that she has no confidence in herself, but the other party usually behaves very seriously. Now that something like this has suddenly happened, who would think that way?
So she just enjoyed the food and waited for someone to show their fox ears.
French food tastes pretty good, much better than British dark cuisine.
The person opposite her handed her a napkin, cut foie gras for her, and casually brought up some light-hearted topics. The atmosphere was very good, but he seemed a little nervous.
Rongzhen watched for a while and felt anxious for him.
If you have anything to say, just tell me.
After finishing the appetizer, he still couldn't speak, and his head seemed to be sweating and smoking.
Rongzhen finally couldn't bear it any longer. After finishing her appetizers, during a break between servings, she wiped her mouth and asked him quietly, "Do you know what it means to invite a lady to a candlelight dinner?"
Suddenly, smoke came out of Ying Han's head and his face turned a little red, but he still managed to keep his composure.
He looked up, and after their eyes met, he looked away instantly, explaining, "I...I'm sorry. When I ordered the meal, I only said it was for one man and one woman. I didn't expect them to misunderstand and prepare this kind of meal."
Rongzhen rested her chin on her hand, seemingly listening to him, but actually admiring his rare innocent and helpless look, which had shed his usual calmness and composure.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend towards his ears.
You know what, it’s really beautiful.
Everyone has the bad intention of dragging down the high-ranking flowers to the mortal world, and Rongzhen admits that he is also a vulgar person.
For a moment, she really changed her mind. Sooner or later, she would get married and have a child to inherit the family business, so why couldn't the child's father be the man in front of her?
He wasn't the hero of the novel, and he was so outstanding and handsome. She didn't dislike him, and even had a little affection for him...
She was so lost in thought that she almost even decided on a name for her future child.
But as soon as she thought that the other party was the capable man left to her by Ruan's father, who was there to help her manage the company better, not to cause trouble for her, her passion instantly cooled down.
Another thing is, if I really have an office romance with him, it would be fine if it works out, but if it doesn't, there will probably be a lot of trouble later, so it's better not to get involved with him.
Rong Zhen's mind raced, and she looked at the other person again with regret.
It is said that when you look at a beautiful woman under candlelight, she becomes more and more beautiful, and the same goes for handsome men.
Too bad it’s not edible.
Rongzhen felt regretful and waited for Yinghan to finish speaking before handing him the gift she had prepared for tonight.
Ying Han was so surprised that he was at a loss: "Is it for me?"
Rongzhen placed it next to him and said, "Of course it's for you. I didn't know what you would like, so I picked the newest one from the ones Dad left behind."
Ying Han wiped his hands several times with a napkin before carefully opening the small box in the file bag.
It turned out that what the housekeeper delivered at noon was not her personal belongings left at home, but a gift specially prepared for him.
As for the fact that it was selected from Mr. Ruan’s belongings, he didn’t mind it at all.
This can actually show the other person's care in preparing the gift and how much they value him.
Others just buy it casually.
Only his origin is special.
The more Ying Han thought about it, the more his heart began to pound wildly. A sweet feeling welled up in his heart uncontrollably, and his heart felt as if a dead tree had come back to life in spring, welcoming a reckless little deer in the midst of vitality.
This feeling made him uncomfortable, addicted, and he could no longer maintain his previous posture.
As soon as he realized that the restaurant had misunderstood his intention and arranged a candlelight dinner, his face was already flushed and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Only thanks to his usual self-discipline and rest, he managed to keep his expression steady and not let his emotions show too much.
Now seeing the simple watch lying quietly in the small gift box, he really couldn't hold it anymore.
Yes, Rongzhen gave him a watch.
Just as he didn't think much about the meaning of treating a woman to a candlelight dinner, she didn't think much about what giving a man a watch would represent when choosing a gift.
The only difference is that his was an accident, while she really didn't think of it at the moment.
I finally realized it now, but the item has already been sent out, and the person who received it likes it very much. It would be boring to take it back, so let it be.
If either of them makes a small mistake, it's just right that no one should blame the other.
Rongzhen silently put the matter aside and began to explain the origin of the watch to Yinghan.
Although this watch was taken from the collection left by Ruan's father, it has never been worn by anyone, so in principle it is still new.
And compared with other collections, it was actually not the style that Ruan's father liked. It was most likely bought as a gift to a younger generation or subordinate, but before he could give it away, he became seriously ill and passed away.
Therefore, now that Rong Zhen gave it to Ying Han to win people's hearts, it can be considered as making the best use of it.
Yes, Rongzhen’s intention in giving Yinghan a gift was to further bribe him. Even if he didn’t want the options, he could at least accept a watch.
If I give him more bonuses in the future, I believe I can keep him tied up for a few more years.
I don't expect to keep him forever, but at least tie him up for a few more years.
Ying Han had thought about her intention.
But after putting on the watch that particularly pleased him, he could not help but let his mind wander, and even had some unspeakable secret thoughts.
He thought he was really a piece of shit. Father Ruan had given him a new life, and President Ruan trusted him immensely, yet he actually...
The joy in his body faded away, he stroked the dial on his wrist, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Rongzhen looked at this scene. The famous watch and the handsome man were really pleasing to the eye.
At the same time, there were people watching them appreciatively from a distance. Seeing the two of them having a candlelight dinner face to face and her giving him a gift, it was hard not to think of something wrong.
The other party paused for a moment, then immediately changed direction, and instead of walking out, he walked towards them.
When Ying Han heard the approaching footsteps, he was immediately shaken out of his chaotic thoughts. He turned his head vigilantly and met the oncoming person's meaningful gaze.
He subconsciously wanted to hide the watch in his sleeve, but his movements were too flustered, making it seem like his attempt to hide the watch only made it more obvious.
Rong Zhen was very surprised to see the newcomer. She stood up with Ying Han and greeted him, "Uncle Zhao, you're here too. What a coincidence."
"I just finished dinner with a friend. What a coincidence." Uncle Zhao waved his hand for them to continue sitting down. He said a few words and left.
As for what to say, he glanced at the corner of the watch face exposed on Ying Han's wrist and laughed, "Okay, don't hide it, I saw it all."
