Chapter 402: Could it be that he cheated?
The reason why Lu Heng appointed Duan Jingyao as the CEO of the group was not just to find someone close to him to manage the company in a safer way.
Instead, he really hopes that Duan Jingyao can grow through experience, gradually gain control of the group, and make Hengyi Group his future foundation.
In other words, Hengyi Group was the road paved by Lu Heng for Duan Jingyao from the very beginning.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Lu Heng. As the eldest brother, he only cares about the best for his younger siblings and worries about this and that just like a father.
As a result, it has been misunderstood for so many years.
Meng Anran quickly denied the guilt in her heart.
It’s all Lu Heng’s fault for pretending. His mouth looks like a decoration.
If he doesn't say it, who knows what he is thinking?
No matter how wrong it is, it can't be the eldest lady's fault.
"Anyway, if you encounter any difficult or inconvenient things to deal with in the future, you can call me. Ruiming Group still has some influence in the Beijing circle." Meng Anran put away his messy thoughts and took a sip of tea.
Duan Jingyao stared at her intently for a long time before asking, "Are you willing to help me because I'm your elder brother?"
“Yes, but not entirely.”
She put down her teacup and said seriously, "Hengyi Group is currently collaborating on a project with Ruiming, so you and I can be considered partners. Secondly, I'm the 'fake daughter' and you're the 'real prince', so we have some connection. With the downfall of the Lu family, there's no grudge between you and me, so being friends wouldn't be a bad outcome."
Duan Jingyao was surprised by her answer. He lowered his eyes and smiled secretly, "I thought you were quite repulsive to me. You always looked unhappy when you saw me."
"That's because you approached me with ulterior motives!" Meng Anran rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Although I don't know what you like about me, I hope you won't waste your time on me. If you don't mind, we can be friends."
She has no shortage of friends, and if she were in high school, she would never have said this.
But things are different now. Duan Jingyao is the CEO of Hengyi Group and the future person in charge of Hengyi Group.
Perhaps thanks to Duan Xi's training, he is very talented in business.
Hengyi Group is emerging rapidly at the speed of mushrooms after rain. I believe that it will soon occupy a place in the upper echelons of Beijing circle.
In this case, being friends with Duan Jingyao would do more good than harm to her.
Duan Jingyao took a deep breath. In fact, he knew in his heart that there was no possibility between him and Meng Anran.
"Being friends is nice." He said suddenly, "When I think about it sometimes, I'm more envious of you than liking you."
"Envy?" Meng Anran raised her eyebrows, not understanding what was there about her that was worthy of his envy.
Duan Jingyao looked at her and smiled helplessly, "You have a family that loves you, friends who always protect you, and someone you love. Even Lu Heng and Lu Yi continued to protect you after they knew you weren't their biological sister."
"It's not impossible to have friends with similar interests, but most people in this circle are just sycophants. The higher you stand, the more people will support you."
Meng Anran's voice was so calm that it inexplicably revealed a sense of vicissitudes. "In the future, you will have many connections. The more people you meet, the more friends you will have."
The setting sun sank in the steel forest, and Meng Anran stood up and said goodbye.
"I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything." When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, I suggest you don't ask Lu Yi to help you solve your problem, otherwise you will probably face a bigger problem."
This is the experience she gained after cleaning up many messes.
After leaving Hengyi Group, she was planning to ask Qin Mu where to go for dinner in the evening.
As a result, he sent a WeChat message first.
[Qin Mu]: Baby, I have something else to do and can’t have dinner with you tonight.
Meng Anran curled her fingers unconsciously, thinking of the photo she received at noon.
Meng Anran: It's not that difficult, is it? Is there anything I can do to help?
[Qin Mu]: Don't worry, I'll be back before ten o'clock after I finish dealing with it.
Meng Anran pursed her lips and didn't ask any further questions.
However, it wasn't just one day. For the next week, Qin Mu said he was busy and didn't come home all day.
Even the promise to accompany her to practice boxing was completely forgotten.
Every day when I wake up from a peaceful sleep, there is no one around me.
Breakfast was prepared for her every day.
Qin Mu didn't come back until almost ten o'clock in the evening.
"According to what you said, Fairy Qin is probably cheating on her, right?"
In the boxing gym, Liu Zhi was sweating profusely and pounding the sandbag in front of him hard.
"Do you think there's a possibility that he might cheat on you?" Meng Anran sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, unscrewing the bottle of mineral water and taking a few gulps.
Liu Zhi thought about it and quickly shook her head: "It's unlikely. I would rather believe that Yunduan Group will go bankrupt than believe that Qin Mu will cheat."
But, if Qin Mu wasn't looking for another woman, then why had he been so mysterious and elusive recently?
"Oh! I see!" Liu Zhi suddenly had an idea and stared at Meng Anran slyly, "Is he planning to propose to you?"
Meng Anran frowned slightly, recalling Qin Mu's condition these days. He looked very tired when he got home every day, and he didn't have any excitement or joy in preparing for the proposal ceremony.
She shook her head. "No, it's more like I ran into trouble at work."
"Yunduan Group is very stable. What big event would require a chairman like him to leave early and come back late?" Liu Zhi obviously disagreed with Meng Anran's guess.
She sat cross-legged with Meng Anran, face to face, and asked, "Has he been secretly testing your ideas recently?"
Meng Anran shook his head.
Liu Zhi asked again: "Does he always hold your hand and play with your fingers?"
Meng Anran shook her head again.
Liu Zhi was anxious, frowning and continued to ask: "Did he say he would take you out to play in a few days?"
Meng Anran still shook her head.
Liuzhi was immediately deflated. Could it be that he really wasn't planning a proposal?
Then what can Qin Mu do?
"Don't you want to ask him?" Liu Zhi looked at her best friend worriedly, afraid that she would be unhappy.
"I asked him, and every time he said there was something going on at the company." Meng Anran spread his hands to express his helplessness, but his expression was relaxed.
"You knew he was lying to you, why didn't you ask him clearly?" Liu Zhi was very dissatisfied.
Childhood sweethearts for over twenty years, must one of them keep it a secret while the other one makes a blind guess?
"He's my boyfriend, not my husband." Meng Anran smiled nonchalantly, seemingly unfazed. "Isn't it good to have some privacy when you're in a relationship? If he doesn't want to talk about it, why should I keep pestering him?"
Anyway, if Qin Mu really has difficulties, he will definitely tell her.
She also believed that Qin Mu would not do anything to betray her.
While the two best friends were chatting, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Meng Anran glanced at the caller ID, and Liu Zhi asked happily, "Is that Fairy Qin?"
Meng Anran shook her head, "No, it was Xiao Li who called."
Liu Zhi immediately curled her lips, thinking that the assistant was more diligent than her boyfriend!
Meng Anran answered the phone: "What's the matter?"
"Boss, I just received news that Bai Yujin committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment!"
