Chapter 819: Enemy, Not Friend
At this moment, Luo Xingyue was full of seriousness, looking at Song Yu. She expected Song Yu to give her a positive answer. In this way, they could live together as a couple, how wonderful it would be.
But just when she was full of anticipation, Song Yu asked her: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I said, I just treat you as my sister, do you understand?"
In Song Yu's eyes, a sister is a sister, just like a family member. He has never had any bad thoughts about Luo Xingyue.
After saying these words, he felt that they were a bit cruel and ruthless, but he knew very well that Liu Ruonan was right. Since she didn't like him, then let Luo Xingyue give up the idea of him. Otherwise, if she continued to be trapped like this, it would only make Luo Xingyue more uncomfortable.
Looking at Song Yu, Luo Xingyue asked: "So, deep down in your heart, you have never liked me at all?"
There was a look of despair on her cheeks, and she was in a state of pain, feeling anxious and uncomfortable.
Looking at her, Song Yu said, "Xingyue, you are my sister. You were, are, and will be my sister in the future. I think you should understand what I mean, right?"
Even though his voice was gentle, the words still made people angry. Luo Xingyue in front of him shouted at him with anger.
"Song Yu, you bastard..."
Without waiting for Song Yu to say anything else, Luo Xingyue turned around and ran away.
Looking at her back, Song Yu sighed. He knew that such words would definitely hurt Luo Xingyue.
So, he never said anything.
If he didn't know that she would be hurt even more if he continued like this, he might not have said these words.
He knew that she would feel bad, but he thought, no matter how bad it was, it would eventually subside. A short pain is worse than a long one. He hoped that one day in the future Luo Xingyue would no longer hate him.
Zhu Lin took a glass of juice and leaned back on the sofa. He looked up and saw a man in black clothes walked in. Before the man could speak, he spoke first.
He inquired, "Tell me, what's the situation?"
The man he was questioning looked at him and said truthfully, "Boss, Liu Ruonan has been dealing with a store called Xingyuefang recently. It seems that she wants to cooperate with Xingyuefang."
Xingyuefang? Zhu Lin was very confused. He had heard of this name before. Xu Jiao used to like using the powder and rouge from Xingyuefang, a very famous shop in the local area.
I heard that her family has inherited ancient cooking methods and their business has always been booming, but they are stubborn and refuse to open branches, always sticking to their own small shop.
Why did Liu Ruonan suddenly set her sights on such a small shop? What was her purpose? What was she planning to do?
Zhu Lin's mind was filled with confusion. He looked at the man in front of him and asked, "How are their discussions about cooperation going?"
"Failed."
Zhu Lin's eyes widened as he listened to the other party's words. He thought he had misheard and asked, "What did you say? Failed? Are you sure?"
"Yes, boss, their negotiations failed."
Zhu Lin felt that this was a big headline news. In his impression, Liu Ruonan had always been a very powerful person, but now, she had failed in the negotiations.
It is really rare. After all, Liu Ruonan's business has been going smoothly in recent years. She is very accurate in everything she sees, so she has made a lot of money in recent years.
It is really rare for her to negotiate a failure in a cooperation.
The more this happened, the more interested Zhu Lin became. He said to the person beside him, "Please help me make an appointment with the owner of Xingyuefang. I'll go meet him."
After a pause, he asked, "By the way, have you found out the reason for Liu Ruonan's failure?"
"Boss, it must be jealousy."
"Jealous?" This reason really puzzled Zhu Lin. He asked in confusion, "Why are you jealous?"
"Xingyuefang's owner, Luo Xingyue, has a childhood sweetheart named Song Yu. For some reason, Song Yu and Liu Ruonan have been getting very close, so Luo Xingyue is jealous. Naturally, she won't cooperate with Liu Ruonan under these circumstances."
When Zhu Lin heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "This is really interesting."
When Ruonan returned home, it was already dark. After she entered the house, she felt that the house was rather quiet that day.
Before coming back, Chen Jianmin called her and said that he would bring Jun Shuo back to her house to live for a few days. Chen Jianmin has always treated Jun Shuo as his own grandson and has taken good care of him over the years. Ruonan naturally agreed.
Without Jun Shuo around, the house felt a lot quieter.
In the past, when Ruonan came home, if Zhuang Sheng was at home, he would rush around preparing delicious food for her, worried that she would be hungry.
But today, after she entered the room, she found Zhuang Sheng sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. After seeing Ruonan, he just glanced at her without saying anything.
Zhuang Sheng's behavior made Ruonan very confused. She walked over, stared at Zhuang Sheng and asked, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're in a bad mood?"
Zhuang Sheng stared at Ruonan, then said, "Ruonan, I don't understand."
Her question made Ruonan very curious. She asked curiously, "What don't you understand?"
Zhuang Sheng sat up straight, staring at Ruonan with a serious expression. He said, "It's like this, Ruonan, I really think the money we earn now is enough for us to spend. Not to mention what you earn, even if it's what I earn alone, it's enough for the whole family. I really don't understand why you work so hard. Don't you think it's tiring?"
It turned out that Zhuang Sheng was still struggling with this problem. Ruonan felt a little uncomfortable today. After all, the poison in her body had just been eliminated. She looked at Zhuang Sheng's serious expression and knew that if she didn't explain it to him clearly, he would continue to be troubled.
Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to compromise.
She said, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, let me tell you, my factory has a total of 2,325 employees, the wholesale city has 1,500 employees, and the entertainment company currently has 500 employees. Do you know how much it costs me to pay my employees' salaries in a month?"
"Besides these, there are also monthly advance payments, utility bills, various taxes, and money to invest in new projects..."
Ruonan knew that if she told Zhuang Sheng these things, he might not understand, but she had to say them, otherwise he would think that her making money was really useless.
Ruonan said, "Brother Zhuangsheng, if I fail, where will all these employees go? What I pursue is not just money, but a sense of social responsibility and a dream."
