Chapter 113 Show affection, die quickly
Show affection, die quickly
"Wen Ruan, I am Ruan Hao's aunt."
Wen Ruan remembered where she had heard this voice. On the day she confronted Ruan Hao, she received a call from Ruan Hao's aunt.
"Wen Ruan, don't be nervous."
On the other end of the phone, Ruan Wenling couldn't hear Wen Ruan's voice, and thought she was frightened, so she said softly:
"I don't mean anything else. I just heard Ruan Hao say that you took good care of him during his time in Haicheng, and I wanted to say thank you."
Wen Ruan heard the key point from her words.
After Ruan Hao returned to North City, he should have told his aunt everything that happened here.
Since the other party already knew, Wen Ruan did not hide it anymore, but did not say much. He just said: "Ruan Hao is my assistant. It is my duty to take care of him. You don't need to thank me."
Ruan Wenling said she had something to do in Haicheng tomorrow, "Can I meet you?"
Wen Ruan felt that there was no need to meet, and did not want to have too deep an intersection with that side, so he politely declined, "Sorry, I have to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning and will not be in Haicheng."
Ruan Wenling's tone was a little regretful. "Then let's meet up next time we have a chance?"
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan stared at the phone screen for a while. When the screen went black, she put the phone back on the coffee table and picked up the information about Ling'er Electronic Technology again.
On the other side, in the north city, the old house of the Ruan family.
Ruan Wenling put down her phone and looked at Ruan Hao next to her. "Wen Ruan is on a business trip tomorrow and won't be in Haicheng. I won't go with you tomorrow."
The old lady felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but after examination, there was no serious problem and she was discharged from the hospital today. Ruan Hao bought a plane ticket to Haicheng for tomorrow afternoon.
Ruan Wenling originally planned to go with him.
After all, Ruan Hao had already met Wen Ruan, and the two siblings had even had a showdown. After thinking about it today, she felt that she should also go and meet her little niece who was not destined to be with her.
She thought it would be impolite to go directly, so she asked Ruan Hao for Wen Ruan's cell phone number and greeted her in advance as a sign of respect. Unexpectedly, the timing was wrong.
The two of them were in Ruan Hao's room at the moment. There were no outsiders and the door was closed tightly, so they were not afraid of being heard by anyone.
Ruan Hao was curled up on the sofa sending a message to Ni Fei. Hearing this, he tilted his head and glanced at her.
"I just asked Ni Fei, and he said Wen Ruan has a meeting tomorrow. I haven't heard that she's going on a business trip."
Ruan Wenling frowned, "You mean she lied to me?"
Ruan Hao had spent some time with Wen Ruan and had in-depth conversations with her, so he could more or less guess what she meant.
"I'm not lying. She doesn't want to have too much interaction with us. She even said before that after I leave Minghe, we'll delete each other and return to the starting point. No one should disturb each other's lives. She and I don't plan to contact each other anymore. She must feel there's no need to see you."
He just said that Wen Ruan would refuse to meet, but my aunt had to give it a try.
Ruan Wenling was speechless for a moment, and after a long while she asked, "Does she hate your father?"
Ruan Hao was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't think she hates her mother, she just loves her mother very much."
Wen Hui'an has a deep grudge with the Ruan family, so grandma will never let her enter the Ruan family again.
Wen Ruan just firmly chose her mother.
Ruan Wenling turned to look at Ruan Hao, "You went all the way to Haicheng to find Wen Ruan, do you like this sister very much?"
"Who would like her? I haven't known her for long," Ruan Hao turned away awkwardly, "I'm just curious about what kind of person she is."
Wen Ruan decided to delete each other from now on. She didn't care about him at all. What was the point of him liking her?
Ruan Wenling didn't notice his disappointment and sighed, "If your father knew you had a daughter like this, I wonder how happy he would be."
When mentioning her elder brother, Ruan Wenling patted her nephew's shoulder.
"Your dad has been working so hard these past few years that he hasn't had a good rest. Come back and help him out when you've had enough fun. He didn't go for his last physical. Secretary Liang said his stomach problems have recurred."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and her face changed drastically.
After hanging up the phone, he slapped his mouth and said, "What a bad mouth I have!"
Ruan Wenling hurriedly stood up from the sofa and pulled Ruan Hao up at the same time, "Your father is really infuriating. He drank alcohol even though he had a bad stomach. Now he's fine, he drank himself to death!"
…
Wen Ruan received a call from Ruan Hao at 10:30 the next morning.
She had just returned to her office after a regular meeting. Ruan Hao asked Ni Fei and called her at the exact time.
"My dad," Ruan Hao paused, "had gastric bleeding last night. He's been working so hard these past few years, and his stomach hasn't been feeling well. The test results just came out, and the doctor said the situation isn't good, and he needs surgery."
He paused there after he finished speaking, as if waiting for Wen Ruan's reaction.
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and Wen Ruan said calmly, "So you won't reply to Minghe, right?"
Ruan Hao: "Yes, I have to stay and take care of him. I may have to go back to my family's company soon."
He did call to talk about this, but he was disappointed when he saw that Ruan had no reaction when she heard that her father was in the hospital. But when he thought about it, he couldn't blame her because her father had never raised her for a single day and had no feelings for her.
Wen Ruan: "Okay, then you can contact Ni Fei to return the things you left here and the house in Qingyue Mansion."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan stared at the computer screen in a daze until Luo Ziwen, the investment manager of Department 5, knocked on the door.
"Mr. Wen, I've already contacted Ling'er Electronics. The secretary of the founder, Tang Zhen, said that Mr. Tang has a meeting tomorrow morning and will be traveling the day after tomorrow, so I've made an appointment for you at 2 p.m. tomorrow."
"good."
At noon, He Zheng took Wen Ruan to the small restaurant in the cafeteria to eat.
When there are distinguished guests, the small restaurant is used to entertain them, and at other times it is He Zheng's exclusive place.
In addition to He Zheng and Wen Ruan, Shen Yifan was also here today.
Wen Ruan swallowed the beef in his mouth and told He Zheng that he was going on a business trip to Beicheng.
"The appointment is for tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 PM, and I have a flight booked for tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM."
He Zheng is also going on a business trip tomorrow and is about to report to her.
"The investment department in Singapore has taken a fancy to a local medical device company. They're asking a high price, and we haven't been able to close the deal after two rounds of negotiations. The acquisition value is quite high, so I'd like to take a look."
He picked the bones of the fish and put it into Wen Ruan's bowl.
"We were leaving tomorrow morning. I'll ask Yu Yang to refund the ticket and I'll go with you first."
Wen Ruan ate the fish he had picked up and said, "No, I can do it myself. You go and do your thing."
He held a video conference last night with the person in charge and investment director in Singapore. They were quite anxious because other investment companies also had their eyes on that piece of juicy piece.
She went to Ling'er to do due diligence, and she wouldn't be back in a day or two. It would take at least a week.
He Zheng wanted to say something, but Shen Yifan made a sound of complaint beside him.
"You're worried that Yao Tianyu might go and bully Wen Ruan, right? That's unnecessary. Whose territory is North City? Young Master Ruan, Ruan Hao is in North City. Who dares to bully Wen Ruan?"
Wen Ruan is the young master's sweetheart.
He Zheng was worried that Yao Tianyu would do something bad, and when he heard Shen Yifan mention Ruan Hao, he remembered this young master.
He looked at Wen Ruan, "Will Ruan Hao come back this afternoon? Don't let him come. Let him accompany you to Ling'er."
Although he was still annoyed with the young master, Wen Ruan was already his wife, so the young master had no chance at all. The matter was of great importance, so he couldn't be jealous.
In Beicheng, Ruan Hao can indeed protect Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call him later."
Speaking of Singapore, Shen Yifan recalled something and said to He Zheng:
"I was drinking with Lao Qiu a few days ago. He said his son went to study in Singapore and his wife had to go over to take care of him. His wife and children were both there. He wanted to transfer to Singapore, but things were very busy here this year, so he was embarrassed to ask."
Lao Qiu is the human resources director. He is capable at work and very smart, but also down-to-earth. He is a veteran of Minghe.
He Zheng couldn't stop the family from reuniting, so he said, "Then let him go."
Shen Yifan took a bite of rice and said, "Okay, then before he leaves, let's hire another human resources director."
Wen Ruan finished her juice, and He Zheng filled it up for her. He said casually, "Isn't Cheng Shuang looking for a job? Just ask her to come over... Oops!"
The juice jug in He Zheng's hand almost fell over because Wen Ruan stepped on his foot under the table with the heel of her high heels, very hard, and it hurt quite a bit.
He looked at her aggrievedly, "Wife, you stepped on me——"
Before he could say the word "what", Jianwen Ruan glared at him and winked at him. He realized, oh, Shen Yifan didn't know that Cheng Shuang had resigned.
He turned to look at Shen Yifan across from him. As expected, he was stunned. "Cheng Shuang is looking for a job? How did you know? Did she quit?"
Having said that, He Zheng briefly told Wen Ruan about his encounter with Cheng Shuang in the restaurant.
Shen Yifan suddenly looked at Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan sighed, "Yes, that's why I asked her to go drink at my house that night. She was in a bad mood and not in the right state. I was afraid that something might happen to her if she stayed alone."
Cheng Shuang was an introvert and didn't want to go upstairs with her, but she dragged her up there.
Cheng Shuang didn't eat dinner at night. She originally wanted to prepare a few dishes, but Cheng Shuang said no. In the end, she took out the braised beef from the refrigerator, cut it up, smashed some cucumbers, and put some peanuts on a plate as a side dish.
She originally wanted red wine, but Cheng Shuang said that beer would be fine.
She asked her how she vented when she was in a bad mood, and she said she crushed potato chips. So she took out all the potato chips in the house, opened them up and asked her to crush them. She crushed two packs and drank a few cans of beer, and then she started crying because of her emotions.
She talked a lot, about her wrong start with Shen Yifan, her love and regret for Shen Yifan, and the injustice and grievances she encountered in the workplace.
The storyteller got drunk first. Although Wen Ruan, the listener, could not empathize with her, he had also experienced the bitterness of love.
In that atmosphere, she thought of the past and felt pity for her past self. She drank the rest of the wine by herself and finally got herself drunk.
…
In the small restaurant, Shen Yifan left without finishing his meal.
After Wen Ruan had eaten his fill, he became angrier and angrier. He reached out and pinched He Zheng's face, "I promised Cheng Shuang to keep it a secret. How am I going to explain this to anyone, you big slop?"
He Zheng rarely saw her so angry, and he thought it was extremely cute. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, then handed her the phone.
"You don't need to explain."
Wen Ruan glanced at the screen and saw the WeChat chat box between him and Shen Yifan.
He Zheng: [Cheng Shuang's former boss was Luo Hao, and Huayang's current HR Director is Zhao Meng. You can deal with them, but when you go to Cheng Shuang, be gentle and don't be too harsh. If she doesn't tell you, it's your fault. You've made her feel insecure.]
He Zheng: [Also, don't expose me and my wife.]
Shen Yifan: [I know.]
After dinner, He Zheng took Wen Ruan out and said, "It's not a bad thing to let Shen Yifan know. There are problems in his marriage with Cheng Shuang."
"Cheng Shuang never reports good news but never bad news. She keeps it to herself when she's wronged. She doesn't defend herself or complain when she's misunderstood. Shen Yifan clearly cares about her, but he pretends to be indifferent."
"They have an agreement that if Cheng Shuang still wants a divorce after a year, they will really divorce. Letting Cheng Shuang come to Minghe is to let them cultivate their relationship. It is also their last chance."
Wen Ruan understood, "So you didn't let it slip on purpose just now, you did it on purpose."
He Zheng raised her hand, kissed the back of her hand, and smiled.
"I'm just trying to help others."
The small restaurant is inside the company cafeteria. The two have already walked to the cafeteria. Many employees came late and were eating. When they saw the two coming out holding hands, they all saluted.
Seeing He Zheng kissing Ruan's hand and openly showing their affection, he was stunned and also moved.
It's amazing. Wen Ruan is so powerful. He took down their General He without making any noise.
Wen Ruan noticed that the two had walked into a crowded area, so he withdrew his hand from He Zheng's palm and joked with a smile.
"Helping others achieve their goals? You're quite good at that."
He Zheng kept his eyes on her, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, "That's it."
He was about to hold her hand when he heard a familiar scream of joy, "Brother He Zheng!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the red tight skirt rushed towards him. He Zheng was caught off guard and took two steps back before he could barely stand firm.
"Brother He Zheng, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"
The woman hugged He Zheng's waist tightly, and the sound of her coquettish movements was not loud, but it made the entire staff cafeteria quiet down.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes turned to Wen Ruan, with different expressions.
Sure enough, those who show off their affection will die quickly.
