Chapter 2: Still Not Love Enough
Ruan Liuzheng moved into a large flat in the city center with her son.
The house is under her name. It is not big, only 140 square meters, but the location and decoration were chosen by her herself according to her preferences.
The panoramic balcony allows you to see half of Yuncheng's night view as soon as you enter the door.
This was bought when she earned her first pot of gold. She had been displaced for a long time when she was a child, so her first wish when she grew up was to have a house of her own.
So as soon as Ruan Liuzheng entered university, she started looking for various ways to make money. Fortunately, she was very capable and realized her dream in less than two years.
Looking at her son's curious eyes, Ruan Liuzheng was extremely grateful that she had bought this house. Now that she and her son had left the Fu family, they would have a shelter.
She simply tidied the house, then took out the cake she brought from the Fu family and accompanied her son to blow out the candles. After celebrating this special birthday, the mother and son washed up and went to bed early.
After a tiring day, they were all very tired.
The next day, after sending her son home, Ruan Liuzheng went to work at the company on time.
When he was in college, Fu Yanci's father died unexpectedly, leaving his position as heir to the group in jeopardy.
Ruan Liuzheng couldn't bear to see him frowning every day, so she gave up her beloved illustration and resolutely accompanied Fu Yanci to join the Fu Group.
Starting as a grassroots employee, he gradually grew into Fu Yanci's right-hand man.
Now, she is the deputy director of the Finance Department and is just waiting for the old director to retire so that she can be officially promoted.
The old director started handing over his work a month ago, and she moved into the director's office early, just waiting for the official appointment.
Although she decided to divorce, Ruan Liuzheng had no intention of resigning.
This is the result of her years of hard work. Why should she give it up in vain?
However, the Finance Department seems to be particularly lively today.
Ruan Liuzheng came to the office with a frown. As soon as she sat down, her assistant Mile came in with a cup of coffee. There was worry on her face, and she put the coffee in much more gently than usual.
"Director Ruan, your coffee."
A cup of coffee in the morning has been Ruan Liuzheng’s habit for many years of work.
At first, I just wanted to please Fu Yanci, but later on, I couldn't stop doing it.
She picked up the coffee and took a sip. Smelling the familiar aroma of coffee, her frown relaxed and her mood improved a lot. She asked, "What happened outside? Why is there so much noise so early in the morning?"
Mi Le pursed his lips, a little hesitant, "Director Ruan, the Human Resources Department just sent a notice that President Zhang officially resigned yesterday, but... the new director is not you, but someone appointed by President Fu himself, named Bai Huanqing."
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes widened, and her hand holding the coffee cup tightened silently.
After a long while, she spoke in a very soft voice, "I know, you can go out now."
Fu Yanci has always been like this. Whoever he pampers, he will really pamper him/her as if he were the apple of his eye. He is afraid that the person will break if he holds him/her in his palm, and he is afraid that the person will melt if he holds him/her in his mouth.
Do everything you can to put someone in a high position.
But why should she sacrifice herself? She got the position of director by her own strength.
Ruan Liuzheng felt a lump in his heart and suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore.
She picked up the documents on the table and planned to go to the hospital to find Fu Yanci to find out.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Bai Huanqing as soon as he went out. She was surrounded by people, with a faint smile on her lips. From her clothes to her makeup, she exuded the nobility of a wealthy family's daughter.
When she saw Ruan Liuzheng, her smile deepened.
Bai Huanqing walked forward quickly, his eyebrows and eyes proud, "Deputy Director Ruan, please give me more guidance in the future."
She deliberately emphasized the word "deputy" with a look of contempt.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes were calm, and there was no ripple in those dark pupils.
She looked at Bai Huanqing coldly, as if she were looking at a clown, and said coldly, "Get out of the way, you're blocking the way."
Bai Huanqing gritted her teeth and looked at Ruan Liuzheng's overly beautiful eyebrows and eyes that seemed to care nothing about her. Deep in her heart, she felt a strong sense of jealousy and resentment.
However, when he saw the document in her hand, Bai Huanqing suddenly smiled proudly.
She flipped her hair and smiled even brighter. "Deputy Director Ruan, are you going to look for Mr. Fu? I forgot to tell you that Mr. Fu was discharged from the hospital this morning. If you want to find him, just go to the top floor."
Bai Huanqing hesitated for a moment, then said kindly, "Boss Fu gave me the privilege of riding in his CEO elevator. Why don't I take Deputy Director Ruan up with me? This will save him from having to squeeze into the employee elevator."
Ruan Liuzheng tightened his grip on the document, feeling a tingling pain in his heart.
When Fu Yanci seized power, she asked for the privilege of using the president's elevator more than once, but Fu Yanci always refused on the grounds of company regulations, and watched coldly as she hurried out of the house every morning to squeeze into the elevator.
But now he gave it to Bai Huanqing so easily, which ultimately means he didn't love her enough.
She took a deep breath and raised her eyebrows slightly, "No, I find it too noisy."
"you!"
Bai Huanqing's chest was heaving violently with anger. She gritted her teeth and approached Ruan Liuzheng, "My dear sister, what are you pretending for? To tell you the truth, Brother Yanci's injury has healed a long time ago. The reason he didn't leave the hospital was that he wanted to be alone with me and live a life without you disturbing him for a few days. As soon as you left yesterday, he immediately arranged to be discharged from the hospital."
"Look, you are as incompetent as your mother. You can't hold a man's heart. No matter how much you sacrifice, it will only serve to make wedding clothes for me and my mother."
A hint of coldness flashed across Ruan Liuzheng's eyes.
She and Bai Huanqing are actually half-sisters.
To put it nicely, they are sisters, but to put it bluntly, they are enemies, and Bai Xunan is not worthy of being her father.
When she was seven years old, her grandfather fell ill and passed away. Bai Xunan, who had always been a family-oriented man and loved his wife and daughter, suddenly changed his attitude. Without waiting for the end of her grandfather's funeral, he brought back Bai Huanqing and her daughter, saying that Bai Huanqing's mother was his true love and he wanted to give her a legitimate status.
Not only that, he also seized his grandparents' property and wanted to kick his mother out of the house.
The mother, who had never experienced the hardships of life, could only accept it with tears for her.
Her mother raised her with great difficulty using her frail shoulders, but this also damaged her health early on and she died of depression before she could go to college.
Ruan Liuzheng still remembers the damp and unpleasant smell in the dark and narrow basement, the embarrassment of being kicked out by the landlord on New Year's Eve, and her mother's sad sobbing...
Bai Huanqing and her daughter replaced her and her mother, stepped on her and her mother's flesh and blood to enter the wealthy family, and became legitimate wealthy ladies and daughters, with no worries about food and clothing.
Ruan Liuzheng changed her surname to her mother's because she didn't want to have any contact with the Bai family anymore.
Unexpectedly, she met Bai Huanqing in the end because of Fu Yanci. She thought she could win once on behalf of her mother, but she didn't expect to lose completely in the end.
As expected, people shouldn't get involved in love.
Ruan Liuzheng felt a sharp pain in her heart, but her eyes were full of sarcasm, "So, you are only worthy of relying on men."
"Ruan Liuzheng, are you still not admitting defeat? The two most important men in your life would abandon you for me without hesitation. Even if you win temporarily, I will be the winner in the end."
After saying that, Bai Huanqing raised her hand and glanced at the luxurious watch on her wrist. She smiled gently, her soft face full of provocation, "I have something else to do so I won't bother you, sister. Remember to clean up the office for me before noon, Deputy Director Ruan!"
As soon as she left, the people around who were watching the excitement scattered and returned to their workstations. Only Mi Le stayed where he was, with a worried look on his face, "Director Ruan, are you okay?"
Ruan Liuzheng's hands, which were holding the document with such force, turned white, and she suddenly felt completely bored.
She pinched her eyebrows tiredly, shook her head at Mile, and turned back to the office.
Ruan Liuzheng threw the documents in her hand into the trash can. She first called Beishan Villa and asked the servant to send the divorce agreement directly to the company, and then sat down and began to write a resignation letter.
Anyway, this job was not what she wanted, and there was no point in persisting in it now.
Since she has decided to break up, she has to break up completely. She was stupid before.
Besides, it's time for her to find her former self again.
Half an hour later, Ruan Liuzheng went to the president's office on the top floor with the divorce agreement and printed resignation letter.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Fu Yanci's secretary Jiang Ze came up to her. He asked politely, with a respectful look on his face, "Deputy Director Ruan, why are you here?"
He is one of the few people in the company who knows the relationship between Ruan Liuzheng and Fu Yanci.
Unlike others, he did not take advantage of Ruan Liuzheng, his wife who was treated coldly by Fu Yanci. Instead, he respected Ruan Liuzheng very much.
After all, someone who can rely on his own strength to step by step reach the position of director of the financial department is no ordinary person.
At the same time, he also felt sorry for Ruan Liuzheng. It was a pity that her talent was buried because of President Fu's cold eyes.
Miss Bai officially started working today.
Jiang Ze knew Fu Yanci's temper very well, and he was afraid that Ruan Liuzheng's career in the Fu Group would come to an end.
As for whether Ruan Liuzheng would resign, Jiang had never thought about it.
As Fu Yanci's personal secretary, Jiang Ze could see clearly what was going on between the couple. Similarly, he also knew how much Ruan Liuzheng loved Fu Yanci, and that her love was very humble.
Therefore, no matter who leaves the Fu Group, Ruan Liuzheng will not leave.
This is what he has understood about Ruan Liuzheng over the years.
"Is Fu Yanci here? I need help from him."
Ruan Liuzheng nodded slightly to Jiang Ze, but his eyes were fixed on the office door in front of him.
Although she could give the things to Jiang Ze, she still wanted to meet Fu Yanci in person.
There were some things she wanted to settle herself.
