Chapter 147 Three Wishes
Three Wishes
Zhang Tongtong knew the woman in Pan Rui's arms.
Liu Xin, a former intern at Fireworks Studio, resigned, and later Pan Rui opened a company and recruited her.
On the opening day, Wen Ruan came to the company and told Liu Xin after seeing her that Liu Xin resigned because she was bullied by Dong Chao, and the conflict between Pan Rui and Dong Chao was also because of Liu Xin.
Wen Ruan reminded her to pay attention to Liu Xin, but she also said that Wen Ruan was too suspicious.
Liu Xin is Pan Rui's junior. When she sees her, she calls her sister-in-law and acts as her spy, saying that if Pan Rui gets close to someone of the opposite sex, she will report it to her immediately.
At that time, she felt sorry for Liu Xin being bullied, so she asked Pan Rui to be nicer to her and give her more salary.
Now it's really a slap in the face.
The two people in the office separated instantly when they saw Zhang Tongtong. Pan Rui pulled Liu Xin behind him and walked towards Zhang Tongtong.
"Wife, why are you here?"
Zhang Tongtong is now in the second trimester of her pregnancy, with an obvious belly. Pan Rui wanted to help her sit on the sofa, but Zhang Tongtong pushed him away with red eyes, threw the lunch box in her hand directly to the ground, and turned away.
Pan Rui caught up with her at the elevator and snatched the phone away when he saw that she was about to call Wen Ruan.
"I'm in a bad mood, and Liu Xin is just comforting me. I'm busy with company matters right now, and I also have to deal with you and my mom's affairs. My head is about to explode. Tongtong, don't make trouble."
Zhang Tongtong ignored him, took the phone and called Wen Ruan again.
It rang once and Pan Rui hung up the phone, yelling at her in frustration.
"Can you please stop looking for Wen Ruan for everything? Do you think everyone is idle like you? Wen Ruan has her own life too. She's not your trash can to listen to your complaints every day!"
"You don't have to go to work, and you don't have to do housework now. I'll hire a nanny for you. You'll be so comfortable. Wen Ruan is pregnant and still has to work. Now He Zheng is paralyzed. She must be suffering more than you!"
"You complain to her about everything in our family, big and small. She works hard herself and still has to comfort you. Have you ever heard Ruan complain to you? Zhang Tongtong, can you be more sensible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. It was Wen Ruan calling.
Pan Rui handed the phone to Zhang Tongtong with an ugly expression and said coldly: "If you want to complain, go ahead. Anyway, you have always been such a selfish person, never considerate of others, and only care about your own happiness."
Zhang Tongtong took the phone, took a deep breath, and answered it.
Wen Ruan's gentle voice came over, "Tongtong, why did you hang up again when I called?"
Zhang Tongtong's mind flashed with Pan Rui's words, "He Zheng is paralyzed, she is suffering more than you", "She has to suffer herself and still comfort you".
She bit her lip tightly, wiped away her tears, and said slowly: "I pressed it accidentally."
Wen Ruan could hear her crying voice, "Are you crying?"
Zhang Tongtong clutched her sleeves. "Well, I was watching the Spring Festival Gala. I saw a skit that was quite touching."
They chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone. Pan Rui hugged her after she hung up.
"I'm sorry, honey. I'm in a terrible mood tonight. There's really nothing going on between Liu Xin and me. I just think you shouldn't tell Wen Ruan everything about our family. Don't bother her all the time."
Zhang Tongtong pushed him away and said, "Then you should fire Liu Xin."
Pan Rui was silent for a while, rubbed her head, and said, "Okay."
Guoguo went to her grandmother's house for the New Year this year. When they returned home, the old lady and Dabao were already asleep. The living room was a mess and no one had cleaned it up.
Pan Rui asked Zhang Tongtong to go back to the bedroom to rest. He cleaned up the living room, sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette. A message came in on his cell phone.
Liu Xin: [Brother Rui, will you come to my place tonight?]
…
The fireworks are brilliant and the night is long.
Yao Tianyu had a chaotic New Year.
Zheng Hang was targeted by Ming He and went bankrupt. His illegitimate child was exposed, the child's mother forced him to get married, and his well-matched fiancée wanted to break off the engagement. He was too annoyed to face it and spent every day in the bar, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Yao Man's New Year was not happy either.
On the night when He Zheng and Wen Ruan had a car accident, her father scolded her bitterly. He said he would help her deal with it, but she'd better keep her mouth shut, otherwise if she kept getting into trouble like this, he would hand her over to the police himself.
Her father said that she had ruined his carefully planned birthday party and ruined his plans. His sharp eyes were fierce and murderous. For the first time, she intuitively felt what Yao Tianyu had said.
"In Dad's eyes, interests are above everything else. He dotes on you, but why don't you try to touch one of his core interests?"
Yao Man has been very honest recently, quietly preparing for the wedding. She finally waited until the Chinese New Year. She wanted to travel abroad with Jiang Qingyan to relax, but Jiang Qingyan didn't have time.
Because it was a task assigned by her father, she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only go with her best friend.
Jiang Qingyan basically has no rest days this New Year.
Ever since Wen Ruan joined Minghe, Rongli Capital lost Ai Yue, Chang Jun went bankrupt, and the acquisition of Ling Kun was implicated by Zheng Hang, which severely damaged its vitality and left it with no money on the books.
There were also financial problems at the group side, which was why Yao Wei had been in such a bad temper recently.
The source of the problem lies with the Nguyen Group.
Rongli has maintained good cooperation with the bank wholly owned by the Ruan Group in Haicheng over the years. Since Ruan Chengdong threw the three members of the Yao family out in public at the forum last year, the friendship has been severed.
The contract expired in March this year, and Ruan had no intention of renewing it. The other banks that Rongli cooperated with stopped cooperating with the timid ones, the bold ones took the opportunity to raise the loan interest rates, and the ones that were neither too bold nor too weak were waiting and watching.
Jiang Qingyan has a good relationship with several of the bank executives, so he has to follow Yao Wei to build relationships.
Ni Fei was chased by the gossips in his family and asked to find a partner, which made him miserable every day.
Chen Yinyin was still filming and was spending the New Year on the set. After learning that He Zheng had an accident, she took a week off and ran to Haicheng. She cried until her eyes were swollen and she was delayed for a few days, so she couldn't take a leave for the New Year.
This New Year, probably only He Zheng and Wen Ruan experienced warmth.
Fireworks were blooming outside the window and the stars were shining brightly. Inside the house, Wen Ruan sat on a stool, resting his head on He Zheng's legs, his eyes looking at the fireworks in the sky.
"I heard you can only make one wish during the New Year. If you make too many, it won't work. But I have two wishes. He Zheng, give me yours too."
She said it in a bossy but coquettish tone.
He Zheng's eyes never left her since she lay on his lap. He touched her hair lovingly with his palm and said in a hoarse voice, "Here you go."
Wen Ruan said: "My first New Year's wish is that He Zheng can make a full recovery. My second is that He Zheng listens to me from now on, never mentions divorce again, and never yells at me again."
He Zheng guessed the first one but not the second one.
He knew that his deliberate indifference and temper during this period had hurt her.
Before he could say anything, Wen Ruan suddenly sat up straight, smiled softly, and took his hand to cover her lower abdomen.
"I'll lend you another wish for your daughter or your son. For the third wish, I've decided to cooperate with Jiang Qingyan. Don't be angry."
He Zheng: “???”
…
On the first day of work after the holiday, Wen Ruan received a message from Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang: [The Ruan family is taking the lead in targeting Rong Li. The New Year's activities have not been effective. Yao Wei will contact you tonight at the latest.]
Rongli Group's main cooperative bank before was Ruan's. After the Ai forum, it was normal for Ruan's to target Rongli, but Jiang Qingyan had a good relationship with other banks.
In fact, he has the upper hand over the senior executives of several companies. If he really wants to help, he can help Rongli resolve this crisis.
But he was just going through the motions with Yao Wei during the New Year holiday. Taking over two companies was far from meeting the annual loan needs of Rongli Group. Yao Wei didn't want to deal with those who took advantage of the situation, so he would definitely find a shortcut by looking for Wen Ruan.
After all, Ruan Chengdong had already spread the word that Wen Ruan was a distinguished guest of the Ruan family and the savior of the young master of the Ruan family.
As Jiang Qingyan expected, Yao Wei called her at noon.
"Ruan Ruan, you've been working hard taking care of He Zheng recently. Your mother said she'd make you some delicious food tonight to nourish you. Come straight to the old house after work. You're pregnant now, so I asked someone to buy you some supplements. You can take them with you when you leave."
His voice was kind, and every word he said was full of concern. The other person smiled, so Wen Ruan naturally gave him face and agreed.
When Wen Ruan answered the phone, he was eating in Minghe’s staff restaurant, with Cheng Shuang sitting opposite him.
After she hung up the phone, Cheng Shuang opened the yogurt and handed it to her.
"Do you want to go by yourself? Will that family of wolves, tigers and leopards give you any trouble?"
Wen Ruan took the yogurt and said thank you, "No, Yao Wei needs me now."
After talking about work, Wen Ruan asked about their trip, "Did you have fun?"
Are you happy?
It is not easy for Cheng Shuang to answer this question, because she is happy when she is with her mother-in-law. She has always regarded her mother-in-law as her own mother, so she is naturally happy to travel with her mother.
However, Shen Yifan was often absent-minded, and Xu Xiaotian always called him. Although he did not go back, he probably only half cared about accompanying them.
Wen Ruan is busy with work, pregnant, and has to take care of He Zheng. Now she has to compete with the Yao family. She doesn't want her to worry about such a trivial matter.
So Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "I had a lot of fun. I went to many places."
Wen Ruan drank a mouthful of yogurt and said, "Just be happy." She mentioned Xu Xiaotian, "Xu Xiaotian will need another two weeks before surgery, and Shen Yifan——"
"Wen Ruan."
Cheng Shuang interrupted her and smiled gently, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's okay. I've already thought about it. It's actually quite good that Xu Xiaotian is back at this time."
If Shen Yifan finds that he still can't let go of Xu Xiaotian, then they will divorce at the agreed time.
If Shen Yifan lets go of Xu Xiaotian and is willing to live a good life with her, they will continue to live together.
…
There were a lot of things to do after the New Year. Yu Yang was with He Zheng, and Wen Ruan was in the company all day.
She called Ruan Chengdong in the afternoon.
"Rongli Group is Haicheng's leading enterprise. It's irrational for you to cut off cooperation with it."
Ruan Chengdong was in a management meeting when he received the call. He paused the meeting, took the phone and returned to his office.
He understood the meaning behind Wen Ruan's words and said with a smile, "Yao Wei is looking for you? He's asking you for help and begging me?"
"That's right, he asked me to go home for dinner tonight," Wen Ruan mentioned Yao Wei's phone call.
Ruan Chengdong sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. "So what do you mean?"
Wen Ruan said, "Money is a good thing. You can't give it up just for the sake of face. You should continue to cooperate with Rongli. Of course, the loan interest rate must be raised by one percentage point. I can convince Yao Wei to agree."
Ruan Chengdong asked her, "Rong Li solved the crisis, and I made more money. What about you?"
Wen Ruan smiled and said, "Of course I don't do business that will lose money, so I'd like to ask Director Ruan for a favor. Help me calculate how much loss will be made each year if Rongli breaks off its cooperation with Ruan's. This way I can negotiate with Yao Wei and ask He Zheng to give him some shares of the group."
Ruan Chengdong put down the cup.
"Yao Wei gave He Zheng 5% before. You can ask Yao Wei for 9% tonight. As long as it doesn't exceed 9%, Yao Wei won't kick you out."
"So soon?" Wen Ruan reacted, "You knew I would make this call?"
Ruan Chengdong said in a steady voice, "He Zheng called me at noon. His mother called him and said Yao Wei wanted to ask him to come home for dinner that night. He guessed what Yao Wei was going to do."
"He Zheng admitted to me that he was pretending. He hasn't forgotten you. He said you would definitely call me."
A smile appeared in Ruan Chengdong's voice. "He asked me to keep it a secret from you, so I thought I should tell you."
Wen Ruan: “…”
It was almost five o'clock when he hung up the phone. Wen Ruan went to the hospital and prepared to say hello to He Zheng before going to Yao's house to keep the appointment.
As a result, when she opened the door, He Zheng was sitting in a wheelchair, dressed neatly. When he saw her, he said:
"Director Liao said I could be out for three hours, but He Meizhu insisted I go home for dinner."
