Chapter 135 My fiancée!

Li Rongyi's expression froze, and when he looked at Yan Ruo, there was obvious hostility in his eyes.

Yan Ruo curled her lips and nodded at her, "Secretary Li, I'll just work part-time for one day and follow Mr. Xu to broaden my horizons. I'm sorry to bother you today."

"Secretary Yan, you're too polite. I'll bring the information over shortly."

Knowing that Yan Ruo was not a potential competitor and that his position as the branch's first secretary was secure, Li Rongyi's expression softened considerably. He even made a rather friendly suggestion.

"How about I help Secretary Yan arrange a workstation?"

Do I need a workstation even if I'm only there for a day or two? Sitting among a group of strangers, it's impolite not to say hello, but once you say hello, you're forced to socialize.

Yan Ruo didn't say anything, but just glanced at Xu Shaoyu silently.

Xu Shaoyu understood and pointed to the sofa for the reception. "No need to arrange a workstation. She can just sit there today."

Yan Ruo quickly nodded in agreement.

Although the Nancheng branch was established not long ago, several projects have already completed preliminary preparations and are about to be officially implemented.

The big boss finally came here, and there was an endless stream of people coming to report on their work.

In particular, most of the backbone personnel of the branch were transferred from the headquarters and other branches. They basically knew Yan Ruo, so they were inevitably surprised to see her.

Didn’t they say that Secretary Yan resigned? When did he come back to work?

Finally, after greeting countless former colleagues, both familiar and unfamiliar, and receiving the attention of many new employees of the branch, the Han father and son arrived.

When Li Rongyi came in to inform that Han Shucheng had brought Han Ze, Xu Shaoyu was looking at documents.

Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head, but just ordered lightly, "Take them to the reception room, I'll be there soon."

This happened immediately, more than half an hour passed.

When Xu Shaoyu finally began to slowly tidy up the documents on the table, Yan Ruo supported her chin with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"I guess the Han family father and son must be wondering how they offended Mr. Xu that he treated them so coldly."

After packing up the documents, Xu Shaoyu stood up, adjusted his cuffs and collar, and said lightly.

"Han Ze will immediately think that I must have believed your slander and refused to cooperate with the Han family."

Yan Ruo nodded affirmatively, "That's exactly what I want. Let him dig a hole for me and piss him off to death."

Xu Shaoyu raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "Mr. Yan, you are so unsuccessful."

Yan Ruo pouted, "With this little bit of talent, he still has to rely on Mr. Xu's power, just like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger."

Xu Shaoyu stepped out and said, "I'm willing to let you rely on my power."

Yan Ruo was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him, "You said it, I took it seriously, be careful or I'll go out and cheat people in your name."

When the reception secretary said that Mr. Xu had something to do and would come later, Han Shucheng and Han Ze thought that they would have to wait for about ten minutes at most.

Unexpectedly, half an hour passed and Mr. Xu still hadn't arrived. He was busy.

Even Han Ze, who was usually calm and composed, began to get a little anxious. He tilted his head back, took a big sip of tea, and looked at Han Shucheng, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Dad, what does Xu Shaoyu mean by this? Is he trying to intimidate us?"

Although Han Shucheng was secretly annoyed, he remained calm on the surface.

"Xu Shaoyu is a thoughtful person. Although Tianqi had offended him last time, he had already resolved it perfectly. He wouldn't do such unnecessary things for no reason. Maybe he's really busy."

After waiting for a long time, the door of the reception room was finally opened.

When Han Shucheng opened his eyes, he saw the secretary who had just been responsible for receiving them standing aside. A tall and imposing young man appeared at the door.

He slowly stood up, putting on a polite smile. "Mr. Xu, I've long heard of your name. Now that I see you, I can see you're truly a promising young man."

Xu Shaoyu politely extended his hand, "Mr. Han, sorry for the wait."

Han Shucheng said with a half-smile, "Mr. Xu is really a busy man."

This was a subtle expression of dissatisfaction. Yan Ruo raised her eyes and glanced at the busy Xu Shaoyu. However, she saw that his expression did not change, and his tone remained calm.

“Unlike President Han, who has a capable assistant like Manager Han.”

Han Shucheng came here today to discuss cooperation, so it would be inappropriate for him to dwell too much on these matters. However, his expression relaxed a lot in an instant.

"Aze is indeed a good boy. I hope Mr. Xu will give him more guidance in the future."

Han Ze, a capable assistant and a good boy, narrowed his pupils slightly when he saw Yan Ruo, but his expression froze for a moment.

He instantly had a guess as to why Xu Shaoyu deliberately left them alone.

He had seen this woman following Xu Shaoyu at a previous industry summit. After asking someone to investigate, he found out that she used to be Xu Shaoyu's secretary and they might have had some unclear relationship.

However, due to some issues, he resigned from Xu's company and returned to Southern Province to start a business.

That time, it was just because Xu Shaoyu was short of manpower and called him over to help temporarily.

So after he knew that this woman had taken advantage of him, he wanted to find someone to teach her a lesson.

However, a small factory that has just started up can be closed down with a little trickery, and Yan Ruo may even be heavily in debt.

I didn't expect to see her next to Xu Shaoyu again today.

"Mr. Xu, I hope you can give me more guidance in business in the future." Han Ze had his usual gentle smile on his face.

After greeting, he looked at Yan Ruo and asked casually as if he was curious, "What is this lady's name?"

Yan Ruo smiled and said, "I'm Mr. Xu's secretary, my last name is Yan."

If she's just an ordinary secretary, then it should be fine, Han Ze thought with some luck.

After all, if he were Xu Shaoyu, he would not offend a potential partner for the sake of a secretary, even if this partner was weaker than himself.

It's not that I'm afraid of offending people, it's just that there's no need.

But Xu Shaoyu's next words made him feel depressed.

He looked at the woman beside him lovingly and introduced her solemnly, "This is my fiancée Yan Ruo. She is also from Southern Province."

Han Shucheng looked at Yan Ruo in surprise. To be Xu Shaoyu's fiancée, she must have come from an extraordinary family. But why had he never heard of a family with the surname Yan in Southern Province?

After a brief greeting, we got down to business.

Although both sides were polite and the Han father and son were gentle when they left, Han Shucheng's face became noticeably gloomy after returning to the car.

"This Xu Shaoyu is really hard to deal with. He's been taking so many detours. He's just playing tricks on the Han family."

Han Ze also frowned. "From what he said just now, it seems that he has already decided on a partner. I don't know if it will be the Zhou family or the Qu family."

"The Qu family has been keeping a low profile for so many years, and I thought they were going to fail. Unexpectedly, they actually snatched up the cooperation with the Xu family first."

Han Shucheng's expression had returned to normal, but there was deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Our Han family is obviously the best choice, why did Xu Shaoyu refuse? Is he still holding a grudge against Tianqi for offending him last time?"

Then he looked at Han Ze. "Why did you suddenly ask about Xu Shaoyu's fiancée?"

Han Ze's expression changed, and then he sighed and said helplessly.

"Father, I guess Xu Shaoyu's refusal to cooperate with the Han family might be because of that woman."
