Chapter 122 The Chairman Wants to See You
The chairman wants to see you
Wen Ruan is wearing a sexy black suspender dress tonight with an irregular tassel design on the hem.
She has a tall figure, delicate makeup, and her long hair is simply tied up, revealing her slender swan neck and elegant collarbone. The tassels at the bottom of her skirt sway when she walks, making her look truly charming and alluring.
Lin Yue sighed, feeling quite emotional.
Wen Ruan has witnessed the changes from a young and naive person entering the workplace to a mature and steady workplace elite.
She had seen Wen Ruan at his most ambitious and high-spirited. He was a talented athlete, had a smooth career, was the youngest investment director of Rongli Capital, and was a gold medal investor. How glorious it was.
She had also seen Wen Ruan at his most miserable state.
She was plotted against by the company she worked so hard for, backstabbed by the man she loved the most, and left in the most embarrassing way. She was even humiliated at Rong Li's celebration party.
The few minutes she cried on the stage that night of the celebration banquet represented her breakup with love, as well as the despair of having her dignity trampled upon and shame carved into her pride.
Everyone knows that Wen Ruan is a proud person.
Everyone knows that Wen Ruan's pride was crushed that night.
After that night, Wen Ruan disappeared.
Everyone thought she would collapse and never recover, but Lin Yue always felt that the Wen Ruan she knew was not someone who would accept her fate, nor was she someone who would become a coward after being bullied like that.
Sure enough, more than half a year later, she appeared at an industry cocktail party.
At that time, Wen Ruan had been reborn. He had a hint of Zen and his temperament had changed drastically, as if he was a detached person who had lived in the mountains for a long time.
But Lin Yue knew that since she had returned to this circle and stood directly next to He Zheng, how could she remain calm?
As expected, she used Ai Yue and Chang Jun to kick Yao Man out. After Yao Man was out, she set her sights on Ling'er Electronic Technology, which was personally in charge of Yao Tianyu.
He dares to gamble and fight, and smiles all day long, but he is ruthless without showing it.
Back then, she thought Wen Ruan and Jiang Qingyan were a good match, but now it seems that Wen Ruan and He Zheng are the same type of people and a perfect match.
…
Amid the soft and melodious music, Wen Ruan sat down on a high chair next to Lin Yue, and the bartender handed her a glass of blue wine.
Lin Yue smiled and said, "This wine is called 'Spring Breeze'. You are enjoying a smooth career and a happy marriage right now, so I ordered it especially for you. How about trying it?"
Wen Ruan picked it up and took a look. The color was a bit like Blue Hawaii, very beautiful. She took a sip and found it tasted very good.
"It's delicious, thank you." She put down the glass and turned to look at Lin Yue, "Why are you in North City?"
Lin Yue arrived a little earlier, finished the wine in his glass, and poured himself another glass. When he heard her words, he looked at her in surprise.
"Don't you know? The Artificial Intelligence Forum hosted by the Ruan Group will open the day after tomorrow. You should have received the invitation."
Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten about this.
In recent years, the Ruan Group has focused its investment on the field of AI. This is the third artificial intelligence forum they have hosted, which is held once a year. This is the third year.
Regardless of the status of the Nguyen Group, the power of the Nguyen family, or the influence of Nguyen Chengdong in the circle, the annual forum is very large in scale.
In the past two years, hundreds of well-known domestic investment institutions and more than 500 related companies across the country participated. Due to the large number of participants, each company received an invitation.
In the past, Yao Tianyu was the one who went to Rongli Capital.
I heard that the venue for this year's event is a seaside resort hotel wholly owned by the Nguyen Group. It's a big place and it's during the summer vacation. The Nguyen Group is very humane, giving one company two invitations and allowing families to bring along.
Wen Ruan received the invitation the night before coming to Beicheng.
She refused what He Zheng gave her.
The reason was that since there were two places, Jiang Qingyan would definitely go and could bring his family, and Yao Man would definitely go as well. She didn't want to be in the same occasion with the two of them.
He Zheng respected her opinion.
Wen Ruan took a sip of wine and asked Lin Yue, "Two spots, you and Yao Tianyu?"
Lin Yue: "Two places for Rongli Group and two places for Rongli Capital. Yao Tianyu and Jiang Qingyan are from Rongli Capital, and Yao Wei and my uncle are from the group. I am my uncle's family member."
Wen Ruan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yao Wei is coming too?"
Lin Yue sneered, "Of course. My uncle told me that Yao Wei has wanted to make friends with Ruan Chengdong for a long time. He was abroad for the past two years and couldn't make it back. This year he's in China, so he'll definitely come."
Wen Ruan said "oh" and changed the question, "The opening ceremony is the day after tomorrow, why are you here so early?"
Lin Yue curled her lips. "It's still that troublemaker Yao Tianyu. He's been very interested in car navigation lately and has contacted Ling'er Electronics and another company."
Out of a little professional ethics, she did not mention the other company's name.
"The founder of Linger is on a business trip recently, and Yao Tianyu is focusing on another company. One of the vice presidents of that other company is my senior, so Yao Tianyu asked me to tag along."
"I arrived at noon today. We just had lunch together before I called you. They had a second show, singing and playing cards. I said I wasn't feeling well, so I left."
Mentioning tonight's dinner, Lin Yue clinked his glass with Wen Ruan's and said with a smile:
"On the way to the restaurant tonight, Yao Tianyu mentioned Ling'er. He said that he actually wanted Ling'er more, but you intervened."
"He said that he had a good chat with Linger's founder, Tang Zhen, that day, but when he went to see him again the next day, Tang Zhen was on a business trip. When he answered his phone, he was just perfunctory, saying he didn't know when he would be back."
"He said you were cheating him again. You said He Zheng would go the next day, but He Zheng didn't go. You said you were just there to say hello that day, but I don't know how you told Tang Zhen that. Tang Zhen just brushed him off and asked you to do the due diligence."
"He said he called you, but you blocked him. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood."
Wen Ruan did block Yao Tianyu.
Because he always called her when she was busy, she found him too annoying, but she also knew that he couldn't produce ivory from his dog's mouth, so she simply blocked him.
She dared to directly provoke Yao Tianyu because at this stage, even if Yao Tianyu knew that she was up to something, he would not cause trouble for her.
Yao Tianyu's ultimate goal is to upgrade his Zhenghang Electronics and launch it into the market. What they are fighting for is the final market share.
What Minghe needs is zero earphones, and what Yao Tianyu needs is just a weapon that can help Zhenghang upgrade. Zero earphones will not be big, so he should quickly replace them with one of equal quality.
The competition has just begun.
He Zheng said that Zhenghang's technical director had changed jobs and took a group of people with him, so Yao Tianyu was busy now and would not be stupid enough to waste his extra time on her.
After a few drinks, when the two began to feel tipsy, Lin Yue mentioned Jiang Qingyan again.
"Jiang Qingyan is here today too. He's here for a meeting. He'll be attending a meeting today, inspecting projects tomorrow, and will be attending the Ruan Group Forum Ceremony the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yue asked Wen Ruan, "You should go to the ceremony, right?"
Wen Ruan shook his head, "No, I have other things to do."
"Ah, that's so boring," Lin Yue said with a disappointed expression. "You can bring your family members this year. Yao Man is planning to come. I was thinking that if you two met again and started fighting on the spot, I could still watch the fun."
Wen Ruan kicked her and smiled silently, "Get lost."
Just as she finished speaking, Lin Yue's phone rang. She picked it up and hung up, then said to Wen Ruan with a smile:
"I really have to get out of here. The senior said they've finished their party and asked me to go have a barbecue. There are a few seniors here too. We used to have a great time. I have to go sit for a while."
She asked Wen Ruan if he wanted to go together. Wen Ruan shook the cup in his hand and said, "You go first. I'll finish this glass of wine."
…
After Lin Yue left, Wen Ruan drank slowly alone.
After leaving the hospital in the afternoon, she went to Ling'er. She was too busy to think too much, and after she was done, she deliberately stopped thinking about it. Until this moment, what happened in the afternoon kept popping up in her mind.
It's like watching a movie, I can't help thinking about it.
Father.
When she was a child, she longed for a father very much. She envied all those who had a complete family with both a mother and a father. Later, as she grew up, she began to resent the malicious speculations and rumors about her mother made by people around her.
Because her mother never talked about her father, even Aunt Lan said he was dead, so she always felt that her father was probably a very bad man who abandoned them.
She has known this for almost twenty years, and she has resented him for almost twenty years.
Now I am suddenly told, Wen Ruan, your father is not dead, he doesn't abandon you, he just doesn't know you exist.
She felt very sorry and regretful that she couldn't recognize him. She thought that as long as she didn't recognize him, she could calmly pretend that nothing had happened. But when she saw Ruan Chengdong this afternoon, she actually felt a little upset.
I don’t know why I feel wronged, but I just feel wronged.
Her heart felt sour and bitter, and she was overwhelmed by an inexplicable emotion. Perhaps it was because her childhood memories were too profound. The moment she saw Ruan Chengdong, she remembered many past events.
Bastard, illegitimate daughter, these names accompanied her almost throughout her childhood.
She blamed her father for not showing up, but she couldn't blame Ruan Chengdong. After all, ignorance is not a crime. She blamed her mother for giving birth to her, but from her mother's point of view, she also had her own reasons.
Nothing wrong, but what did she do wrong?
She felt it was ridiculous, because the moment she saw Ruan Chengdong, she actually wanted to say to those people who had poked her in the back and called her a bastard:
Who is the bastard? Look, I have a father.
It's so childish. She is almost thirty years old and still has such childish thoughts.
Wen Ruan drank glass after glass of wine, and she couldn't remember how much she had drunk. Later, her cell phone rang. She was a little drunk and couldn't speak clearly. The bartender answered the phone for her.
When he returned the phone to her, he reminded her, "A Mr. He said he's your husband. I gave him the address, and he's coming to pick you up. He'll be there in 20 minutes."
Wen Ruan understood it a little later.
He Zheng is here and will pick her up later. Didn't he fly directly to Haicheng? Why did he come to Beicheng?
Wen Ruan lay on the bar for a while, but still felt uncomfortable. He stood up, grabbed his phone, and wanted to go to the bathroom to wash his face. On the way, he was bumped by someone and lost his balance, and fell to the side.
A hand reached out from her waist and held her firmly.
As the world spun around, Wen Ruan bumped into a hard embrace. She reached out to touch her sore nose. She was so drunk that she saw double of everyone in front of her. She shook her head, her tearful eyes filled with grievance.
"He Zheng, I miss you so much."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyan, who was holding her, froze all over, and a place in his heart suddenly sank.
…
He Zheng has a very important meeting in Haicheng tomorrow.
His work in Singapore ended early, and he was able to squeeze out an evening to visit Wen Ruan, so he flew to Beicheng first.
He planned to give her a surprise, so he didn't tell her. He called Ni Fei to pick him up at the airport. Ni Fei sent him to the hotel and went back to his room.
He had been staring at Chen Yinyin in the hospital, never leaving her side, and had no time to tidy himself up. This was a good opportunity to take a shower and change clothes.
As a result, He Zheng knocked on the door when he was halfway through taking off his clothes. "Give me the car keys. Wen Ruan is at the bar. I'm going to pick her up."
Ni Fei quickly handed him the car keys. He Zheng asked, "Are you still going to the hospital tonight? You just happened to pass by the hospital on your way to the bar."
Ni Fei asked him to go first, "I need to take a shower and change clothes. I'll take a taxi later. It's not far."
The hospital's inpatient department was not allowed to enter at this time, but Ruan Hao had someone greet him and knew that someone would pick him up when he arrived. He was not supposed to be on night watch, so there were nurses there at night.
But from now on, unless there are special circumstances, he has to keep a close eye on Chen Yinyin at all times.
He is a troublemaker. If you don't keep an eye on him, something bad will happen. He should be fine tonight. He just scolded Chen Yinyin and made her cry this afternoon. At least he should behave himself tonight.
Chen Yinyin was indeed well behaved tonight.
Ni Fei said he was going to the airport to pick up a friend, but she didn't ask who he was picking up. Her self-esteem was hurt and she didn't want to talk to anyone. At night, the caregiver's cell phone kept ringing, as if something happened at home, so she drove the caregiver away.
Lying in bed alone, she video-called her best friend and started complaining about Ni Fei. Halfway through her complaints, someone knocked on the door.
“Hello, Miss Shen, our chairman wants to see you.”
Chen Yinyin was confused when she heard him say, "It's Ruan Hao's father, the one you met this afternoon."
