Chapter 304 There's still a tough battle to fight at home.
Three months ago, they said he had reached marriageable age and chatted with the Wen family to introduce Wen Qianya to him as his fiancée. At that time, he did not refuse and let them decide, after all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
They often act on a whim.
Today I think this is suitable, tomorrow I think that is suitable.
"Brother Si Nian?" Wen Qianya asked tentatively.
"Let's talk about it after you've adjusted to the time difference for a couple of days," Huo Sinian casually made up an excuse. "You should get some rest first."
Wen Qianya readily agreed: "Okay!"
Lin Tan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Huo Sinian leave the room with his phone, but her mind was still preoccupied with her relationship with Huo Sinian.
To leave him, he first had to get his younger sister, who was in college, out of his surveillance. But his sister had only been in college for a short time, and unlike high school, she couldn't just transfer schools whenever she wanted; she had to stay at the same school for four years.
In other words...
She'll have to be entangled with him for at least another four years.
While thinking about these things, Jiang Ruan sent her a message: [Are you okay?]
Jiang Ruan timed the message carefully. By this time, they had basically finished discussing everything they needed to say, so she could provide assistance whenever needed.
A ding-dong sound.
Lin Tan replied: 【I'm fine, don't worry.】
Jiang Ruan wanted to send something more, but hesitated after typing it. After all, she and Lin Tan weren't the same kind of close friends as she was with Su Zhu, and it would be impolite to continue after the other party had replied.
After careful consideration.
She replied, "That's fine then."
After that day, Jiang Ruan never saw Lin Tan again, and Lin Tan never sent her any messages, as if their heart-to-heart talk that night was just a fleeting dream.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After Jiang Ruan made several trips to the neighboring city, the project there was finally secured, but the one in Jingzhou fell through.
As Mo Mo guessed, those people didn't dare to refuse too ruthlessly out of consideration for Huo Zhizhou, and all wanted to leave a good impression at the drinking party to prevent being targeted in the future.
After signing the contract with the neighboring city, Jiang Ruan prepared to return to Haicheng.
"Aren't you going to take the Jingzhou project?" Mo Mo asked.
"No, thank you." Jiang Ruan had already seen through it after the next two meals.
In Jingzhou, only Huo Sinian dared to go against Huo Zhizhou. Although he didn't know what he had done to offend Huo Zhizhou and make him target him like this, with a project in a neighboring city, Jingzhou was dispensable.
Mo Mo said seriously, "It's a bit embarrassing."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Mo Mo continued, without any regard for her boss's feelings: "This is your base of operations. It would be a loss of face to hand over the project to someone else."
“Then you go and negotiate.” Jiang Ruan didn’t argue with him, knowing that was his personality. “If you win the deal, I’ll give you 10% of the profits.”
Mo Mo: "No."
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
Mo Mo was very self-aware: "If you, as the ex-husband's ex-wife, couldn't even win me over, then I, the bodyguard, assistant, and driver of the ex-husband's ex-wife, have even less of a chance."
A string of question marks appeared on Jiang Ruan's forehead.
What is all this nonsense?
"The plane tickets are already booked." Mo Mo was very efficient. "If we set off now, we can go home and have dinner with the young master and madam."
No sooner had Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo left than Lin Bei drove up behind them with Huo Zhizhou in his car.
On the way to the airport.
Assistant Jiang reported the situation: "Boss, those people at the hospital seem to agree to your request vaguely on the surface, but they're still doing what Huo Sinian said behind your back. Should we call them over for a chat?"
"No need." Huo Zhizhou could see the situation clearly and knew that the grievances had their source and the debtors their culprits.
They were caught in the middle and couldn't make any decisions.
Huo Sinian is the key figure. He had promised not to interfere in Jiang Ruan's affairs, but now he is openly breaking his promise. It seems he has forgotten the warning he gave him.
He turned his head and asked, "You said before that Huo Sinian used his power to suppress several of Lin Tan's films?"
Assistant Jiang replied, "Yes."
He didn't know about this at first, but he happened to stumble upon it when he went to hand over something as requested by the BOSS.
"Give them a heads-up and tell them to release all of Lin Tan's scenes." Huo Zhizhou didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but this time Huo Sinian went too far, "Putting everything on me when something goes wrong."
Assistant Jiang responded, "Okay."
Lin Bei gossiped: "Boss, you're finally back!"
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
Assistant Jiang: "?"
"You have no idea how anxious I was when you ignored Miss Jiang for a while." Lin Bei had always been a big fan of their pairing, so he felt really uneasy when the two of them didn't contact each other.
Assistant Jiang cleared his throat lightly: "Drive carefully."
Lin Bei chuckled like a fool and stepped on the gas to chase after Jiang Ruan's car.
When they arrived at the airport, Assistant Jiang noticed that Huo Zhizhou's gaze was fixed on Jiang Ruan's direction, so he boldly said, "Boss, there's a project in Haicheng that needs your attention. What do you think?"
"When?" Huo Zhizhou asked softly.
"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock," Assistant Jiang said seriously, "It will probably take about a week to finish the talks."
Huo Zhizhou gave a faint "Mm".
Assistant Jiang's tense heart relaxed slightly, relieved that he had made the right gamble: "The arranged private jet will take off in half an hour, arriving twenty minutes before Miss Jiang. Would you like to go now?"
"You can arrange it." Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged.
Assistant Jiang said okay.
He contacted the captain and proceeded according to plan.
Lin Bei met his gaze, and their eyes clearly conveyed the same message: The BOSS has finally figured it out!
Huo Zhizhou secretly protected Jiang Ruan almost the entire time during this trip. He didn't appear in front of her or interfere in her affairs. While protecting her, he was also keeping his promise.
They arrived in Haicheng a little after 5 p.m.
Jiang's assistant had arranged for a car to be prepared in Haicheng early in the morning. They got into the car as soon as they got off the plane, and only secretly escorted Jiang Ruan home when the car to pick her up arrived.
“BOSS.” Assistant Jiang watched Jiang Ruan enter the villa and remembered something very important.
Huo Zhizhou looked up.
Assistant Jiang glanced at the schedule: "The young master's fifth birthday is coming up soon. How do you plan to celebrate it with him?"
In the past, he and Miss Jiang would prepare birthday parties for the young master together, but now that they are separated, it is unlikely that things will be the same as before.
"I have a plan, no need to worry." Huo Zhizhou had already thought of a solution.
He never misses a birthday celebration.
He won't go back on his word to Ruan Ruan either.
Jiang Ruan was thinking about this when she got out of the car. Before she could make a complete plan, Sui Sui, who knew she was coming back, ran out of the car and rushed into her arms: "Mommy!"
Jiang Ruan hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
Sui Sui chuckled twice.
"Mommy."
"Um?"
"Don't be too happy yet." Sui Sui glanced at the house, keeping everyone in suspense, "There's still a tough battle to fight at home."
Jiang Ruan: "??"
Jiang Ruan was completely confused: "What tough battle?"
"A group of uninvited guests arrived at our house ten minutes ago, including but not limited to your own father, uncle, and cousin," Sui Sui said in a serious tone. "They all seemed to be here to congratulate you."
