Chapter 136 Everything is going in a good direction
Everything is going in the right direction
The location Ruan Hao sent was Beiyuan Restaurant in the city center.
It is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and the decoration is built with money. There is no dine-in service, only ten private rooms. Ordinary people cannot enter, and it is useless to have money. It is a membership-based place, and only nobles and politicians are received.
There was a traffic jam on the road tonight, so He Zheng and Wen Ruan didn't arrive until almost seven o'clock.
The waiter pushed open the door of the private room. Behind the Chinese screen printed with oriental aesthetics, Ruan Chengdong was on a work call and Ruan Hao was looking at his phone.
Hearing the noise, the father and son looked up at the same time.
When Ruan Chengdong saw Wen Ruan for the first time, he said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone and hung up. Wen Ruan had already informed him in advance that He Zheng knew everything, so he had no worries at the moment.
He pulled out the chair next to him and called to Wen Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, come here."
He had given He Zheng enough face during the two days of the forum, so Wen Ruan also gave him face at this moment. She walked over holding He Zheng's hand.
The first person Ruan Hao saw was He Zheng, who had a bump on his forehead. He still remembered the grudge that He Zheng had given him last night, so when he saw him, he glared at him.
He pointed at his forehead and complained to Wen Ruan, "Wen Ruan, your man kicked me last night, he... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of his head. Ruan Chengdong withdrew his hand and scolded, "That's your sister, don't you know how to call for help?"
Maybe it was because the way they first met was wrong, Ruan Hao couldn't call her sister.
Wen Ruan had already sat down on the chair. Seeing that his face was flushed and he couldn't utter the word "sister", he turned to Ruan Chengdong and said:
"Wait until I recognize you, then let him call you sister. I won't respond even if he calls me sister now."
Let’s turn this topic over for now.
Ruan Chengdong had already had dinner with Wen Ruan alone, and they had talked about everything they needed to talk about last time. During today's meal, he spent most of the time picking up food for Wen Ruan to cultivate the father-daughter relationship, and the rest of the time was basically spent talking to He Zheng.
Before, He Zheng didn’t know about the relationship between him and Wen Ruan, so there were many things he couldn’t say directly. Now that he knew, he took on the role of father-in-law throughout the whole process.
"He Zheng, to be honest, I had someone check you out before the forum started. You have a very impulsive personality, and you share the same bloodline as the Yao family who bullied Ruan Ruan. I'm very dissatisfied with you."
"But Ruan Ruan must have her reasons for choosing you. I've been giving you face these past two days because of Ruan Ruan, and I've been observing you the whole time. You're neither humble nor overbearing in big situations, neither arrogant nor impatient. You're smart, and you're indeed capable."
"Just because you're impeccable at work doesn't mean you're a good husband. You've only been married for a short time, so I'll be watching you."
The last sentence was full of majesty and carried a strong warning.
Wen Ruan was chewing slowly while eating a piece of beef that He Zheng had picked up for her. Hearing the severity in his words, she wanted to speak up for He Zheng, but before she could open her mouth, He Zheng picked up a piece of pork ribs for her and put it on the plate.
He shook his head at her slightly, indicating that she should stop protecting him and that he could take it all.
Although Wen Ruan has not recognized his father now, there is no guarantee that he will do so in the future. He Zheng has already offended his brother-in-law, and his mother-in-law also dislikes him, so he must not make his father-in-law dislike him again.
So throughout the meal, He Zheng kept one eye on Wen Ruan, picking up food and adding drinks for her and wiping the soup from the corners of her lips, and kept the other eye on Ruan Chengdong, adding tea and wine to him and chatting with him.
As for Ruan Hao, it was obvious that Wen Ruan's status was higher than Ruan Hao's, so he didn't need to coax his brother-in-law.
In the middle of the meal, Ruan Chengdong called He Zheng out.
He Zheng thought it was another warning and prepared himself mentally, but he didn't expect Ruan Chengdong to ask him about Wen Ruan's mother.
"How is your relationship with Ruan Ruan's mother?"
He Zheng remained calm and said, "I'm fine. Mom likes me very much."
Anyway, my mother-in-law is not in Haicheng and will not be back until the end of the year.
Hearing him say this, Ruan Chengdong handed him a cigarette and said, "I intend to remarry Ruan Ruan's mother, but Ruan Ruan won't reveal any information and won't help me."
He Zheng took the cigarette from Yan Mo and lit it for him with a lighter. He guessed what he meant, "Ruan Ruan won't help you, so you want me to be a traitor?"
"Not a traitor," Ruan Chengdong said, pointing out that he had chosen the wrong word.
"The Yao family dares to bully Ruan Ruan like this because she doesn't have her father's support. If you help me, I will remarry her mother, and she will recognize me. Then I can openly support her. Don't you love her? You should think about her."
He Zheng felt like a big pot had hit him on the head.
There was a trap in his words, as if if he didn't help him, he didn't care about Wen Ruan and didn't love Wen Ruan.
He Zheng took out his phone and said, "Okay, add me on WeChat. I'll report to you anytime if there's anything going on."
Ruan Chengdong was very satisfied with his ability to understand the current situation. When he added He Zheng on WeChat, He Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Songli Hospital is the first batch of border aid work. Mom is the team leader. It seems to be half a year. She will be back at the end of the year."
Ruan Chengdong was silent.
The end of the year is fine, he was very busy before the New Year and couldn't spare the time to go to Haicheng, so it's a good time for him to do his mother's work.
After the two of them left, only Ruan Hao and Wen Ruan were left in the box.
Ruan Hao moved over to Wen Ruan's side, pointed at his forehead, and continued to complain, "See? He Zheng hit me. He has a violent tendency. You should leave him right away."
Wen Ruan was very curious, "Why do you hate He Zheng so much?"
She finished the drink in her cup, and Ruan Hao filled it up for her with the juice bottle.
"Don't you know he has a white moonlight? Jiang Qingyan had a white moonlight before. Aren't you afraid that He Zheng's white moonlight will come back one day?"
Wen Ruan laughed. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress today. She pulled up the sleeves to reveal the red rope around her wrist.
"His white moonlight is me."
After listening to Shen Yifan's words, she thought about it for a long time last night, but still couldn't remember when she gave He Zheng the red rope, but she now believed that He Zheng was not lying.
She must have forgotten.
After the dinner, Wen Ruan returned the diary that Ruan Wenling gave her to Ruan Chengdong.
When he wrote the diary, he didn't know of her existence, so the diary must be full of his mother and Ruan Chengdong's feelings for her.
She didn't want to pry, so she decided to let him hand it over to his mother personally.
…
Chen Yinyin's operation was successful, but she could not be discharged from the hospital for the time being, so she asked Ni Fei to stay.
Ni Fei had been very mean to her before, and she wanted to keep him and torture him. Ni Fei was afraid that she would go back to Minghe and pester He Zheng again, so he didn't refuse. He wanted to keep a close eye on this troublemaker, Chen Yinyin.
So Chen Yinyin and Ni Fei stayed in Beicheng, and the others returned to Haicheng early the next morning.
The next night after returning, Zhong Lan invited Wen Ruan to her house for dinner.
She was about to go to Wen Huian's side to provide support. She was in the second batch and prepared a table of dishes for Wen Ruan before leaving.
Wen Ruan told her everything that happened in Beicheng. Zhong Lan didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sighed.
"It's fate. Your mother kept it a secret for half her life, and finally you met your father. But he wants to remarry, and your mother definitely won't agree."
If Ruan Chengdong can solve the family problems, Zhong Lan actually supports Wen Ruan to recognize him. After all, the circle she is in now is dangerous, and Ruan Chengdong can protect her.
As for remarriage, she actually hopes that the two can reconcile. After all, they have wasted half of their lives and still have feelings for each other. However, given Wen Hui'an's personality, it's difficult.
After seeing Aunt Lan off, Wen Ruan started to get busy.
Ling'er's contract has been signed. The next step is to wait for the Xingyue Beidou Innovation Competition at the end of October. As long as Ling'er wins first place, she will be confident that she can successfully snipe Yao Tianyu's Zhenghang.
It only took two months.
Yao Tianyu’s focus in the next two months will definitely be on the expedition and the competition. She has to take advantage of this time to see if Yao Tianyu has any other better projects.
He Zheng is extremely efficient in his work.
On the third day after they returned from North City, He Zheng had basically checked out everything Yao Tianyu had, including the projects he was currently involved in.
Wen Ruan classified the projects and selected some to contact the company founders, and spent very little time in the company.
He Zheng has been very busy recently. It should be said that he has always been busy. As a boss, he has to squeeze out his free time.
Moreover, after the forum, Yao Wei intended to get close to He Zheng, and some resources of Rongli Group began to tilt towards Minghe. He Zheng used to be disdainful, but now he accepts everyone.
But it's also busier.
With constant meetings, social engagements, and business trips, he had less time to meet Wen Ruan after returning from North City.
Fortunately, even when he was not around, there was someone to accompany Wen Ruan.
After careful consideration, Cheng Shuang finally accepted Wen Ruan's suggestion and came to Minghe. The previous human resources director, Lao Qiu, was transferred to Singapore, and she took over Lao Qiu's position.
Cheng Shuang also moved into Qingyue Mansion.
This was requested by Shen Yifan's mother. The old lady meant that since the divorce would be after a year, the couple could not live apart during this year.
Shen Yifan now lives in Qingyue Mansion, so Wen Ruan and Cheng Shuang have also become neighbors.
The two of them got along very well and became best friends. When Wen Ruan and Zhang Tongtong had dinner together on weekends, they would bring Cheng Shuang along.
Zhang Tongtong has been in a good mood since she became pregnant.
Especially in early October.
…
Feiding Investment spent more than half a year packaging Chaoce. After a small hit at the beginning of the year, Chaoce exploded during the National Day holiday, and its valuation reached a peak. Feiding sold Chaoce to a top global gaming company at a high price as quickly as possible.
The price was higher than expected, and Feiding made a lot of money.
Pan Rui initially invested in technology, and later when He Zheng helped him sign a contract with Feiding, Dong Chao gave him some shares. This time he became rich overnight.
Dreams are nothing compared to reality. Pan Rui didn't expect Chaoce to be sold at such a high price, so although he felt a little regretful, he believed that with his own abilities, he could create another Chaoce.
What's more, he and Dong Chao have already fallen out. Even if Chaoce is not sold, Dong Chao will monopolize Chaoce. The current result is better.
Most of the people in the Fireworks Studio are Dong Chao's people, and Feiding has absolute controlling rights. Zhao Ding knew that He Zheng hated Dong Chao, so after making money, he directly packaged the fireworks and sold them.
Dong Chao immigrated and Pan Rui started a business, and the two separated very quickly.
Pan Rui started preparing for starting a business right after his breakup with Dong Chao. By mid-October, he had rented an office, hired several people, and formed an initial team.
After the fireworks were sold, his Tongguo Network officially opened.
Tongguo is taken from the names of Zhang Tongtong and his daughter Pan Guo.
People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
I paid for my new house in full, bought a new car, have no mortgage or car loan, and have my own company, so I don't have to work for others anymore. My husband loves me, my daughter is obedient and sensible, and my mother-in-law has also stopped fighting.
Zhang Tongtong looks radiant. After becoming pregnant, she has a good appetite and has gained weight.
As for Cheng Shuang, since she came to Minghe, her relationship with Shen Yifan has shown signs of thawing.
Shen Yifan's mother is now retired and at home. With nothing to do, she often invites the two of them home for dinner and tries to bring them together in various ways, determined to dispel the idea of divorce within this year.
Shen Yifan's attitude towards Cheng Shuang is getting better and better.
Some people in the company were saying that Shen Yifan didn't even wear his wedding ring and that his relationship must be bad. After hearing this, Shen Yifan put on his wedding ring.
Although Wen Ruan and He Zheng are rarely together, the young couple maintain a proper distance and don't spend every day together. Their relationship is getting better and better.
They are busy when they should be busy, and occasionally squeeze out time to go on dates and watch movies. They have been in a passionate period since marriage.
The relationship is stable and family affection is also warming.
Aunt Lan went to her mother's place and often video-called her, with the two of them appearing together. Her mother didn't know that she had gone to Beicheng, and now she was very kind to her.
Ruan Chengdong would send messages every day, asking about her three meals a day and reminding her to drink more water due to the temperature difference. Ruan Hao joined the Ruan Group and would call her if he didn't understand something.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
But life is full of ups and downs, thorns and twists and turns, it seems that it is always difficult to be perfect...
