Chapter 2 Leaving again?
Leaving again?
Regarding the issue of resignation, Jiang Qingyan said he would think about it carefully.
Wen Ruan gave him a deadline. Now there was only one month left until the Chinese New Year, and she would only wait for him for one month.
She will leave Rongli after the new year. At that time, either she will leave alone or they will leave together.
Wen Ruan lived a relatively comfortable week.
Yao Man seemed to have suddenly changed her personality. She no longer acted like a troublemaker or caused trouble for her, but the look she gave her was even more provocative and complacent.
It seems that victory is in our grasp?
Wen Ruan was too lazy to pay attention to her, as long as she didn't cause trouble.
It rained again in Haicheng on Friday. The rain was fine and continuous with no sign of stopping.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Rongli Capital.
After the meeting, when Wen Ruan was sorting out documents, Lin Yue, the director of Investment Department 1, moved his chair over and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Wen Ruan, do you think Bai Xing will fail?"
Today is the day when Baiying International’s acquisition and restructuring of Fuqi Technology will be approved.
Wen Ruan has been busy with this 20 billion yuan project this year. If it succeeds, it will be enough to support the entire company for several years. Everyone is waiting for the result.
Recently, a vice president position happened to be vacant in the Investment Management Center. The meaning of the meeting just now was very clear. If Bai Qing succeeds today, the position of vice president will belong to Wen Ruan.
As a competitor, Lin Yue certainly hopes that Bai Xing will fail.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon now, six hours have passed, and there is still no news from there.
Everyone else in the conference room had left, leaving only the two of them. Lin Yue did not hide her gloating at all.
"It's over... I guess it's over..."
Before Wen Ruan could say anything, her cell phone rang. She slapped Lin Yue's hand off her shoulder and swiped her fingertips across the screen.
"It's done!" As soon as the call was connected, a high-pitched howl came from the other end, "It's done! It's done!"
It was a call from the person in charge of Baiqing announcing the good news.
Baixing was successful and passed the review smoothly.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan turned to look at Lin Yue, imitating her gloating tone.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you again."
The word "again" made Lin Yue's depression and jealousy surge up. He was going to be suppressed by this woman again, and his limelight was going to be snatched away by her again.
So angry!
In fact, when Wen Ruan first came, Lin Yue did not feel that this girl was a threat.
Wen Ruan graduated from a prestigious university with a double master's degree in mathematics and economics. His resume is indeed impressive, but Rongli Capital is backed by Rongli Group, a leading enterprise in Haicheng, and is the number one in the industry in Haicheng. A high degree of education is just a threshold.
There are many people with high education, and Wen Ruan is beautiful, with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. At first glance, she looks more like a vase.
Who would have thought that it is this silent vase that attracts the most attention!
Rongli’s promotion management system is harsh, cruel and perverted, and the average age of investment directors is 35 years old.
Lin Yue is highly educated, capable, and has an uncle who is a senior executive in the group. However, she was only able to secure the position of director of a department at the age of 30. Wen Ruan has no background, but she was on par with her at the age of 27.
Many people were dissatisfied, especially her, but she had no choice but to accept it.
Who can blame him for being a gifted talent?
Wen Ruan has risen from an assistant analyst to the director of Investment Department 2. She ranks top of the department's performance list every year. She has been at the top of the list for several years since she joined the company, and has been breaking company records.
With her unique vision, all the projects she has handled have become huge hits with amazing rates of return, and the unicorn projects she has invested in have also been successful.
He talks little, but he has great abilities, and he gets promoted exceptionally all the way.
Over the years, only two people have been promoted continuously.
One is Jiang Qingyan, the general manager of the investment management center, and the other is Wen Ruan.
Thinking of Jiang Qingyan, Lin Yue remembered something. She kicked Wen Ruan's stool with a strange smile.
"If you were to choose future or love, which would Jiang Qingyan choose?"
Wen Ruan could tell there was something else behind her words. "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to smile so obscenely. It's scary."
Lin Yue's smile froze on his face, and he almost got hurt from anger. He moved closer to her and said in a low voice:
"Do you think Jiang Qingyan will stick to his impoverished love with you, or marry Yao Man, become a prince consort, and reach the pinnacle of life? Oh, so what if Bai Qing succeeds? You can hardly keep your man anymore."
Who is Yao Man?
The daughter of the chairman of Rongli Group and the daughter of the big boss, according to her observation, Yao Man is determined to win Jiang Qingyan. Wen Ruan is just a commoner, how can he snatch Jiang Qingyan from the group's eldest princess?
These two people are going to have a fight over Jiang Qingyan, and Lin Yue is just watching the show. Ha, if they start fighting, it’s better if they start fighting!
Wen Ruan ignored her because his cell phone rang again.
When the senior executives upstairs heard the news that Bai Qing had passed the review, they called her over with a smile and had a cup of tea with her. They praised her with words of praise and hinted at her in their words.
As expected, she became the vice president of the investment management center.
…
To avoid traffic jams, Wen Ruan left work half an hour early and drove onto the elevated road from the second intersection.
Taoxiangju is a private restaurant known for its elegance and warmth.
The decoration style embodies oriental wisdom and culture, with paper-cuts printed on the windows, scroll-style lighting, and the sound of a guzheng like the gurgling of water. Each place makes people feel away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Wen Ruan booked the private room two days in advance.
Today is the third anniversary of her and Jiang Qingyan's relationship, and it just so happens that Baiying has successfully passed the review, which is a double blessing.
When Wen Ruan entered the box, Jiang Qingyan had already arrived and was standing by the window making a phone call.
He was wearing a well-tailored suit, had a tall and straight figure, and wore a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He was elegant and dignified, with a gentle and scholarly air about him, making people unforgettable at first sight.
Wen Ruan heard him say, "Your stomach is not good, don't drink tonight."
The tone was not too gentle, but one could still hear the concern.
No idea what was being said on the other end. Jiang Qingyan felt helpless. "Stop it, I really can't leave... Hello?"
The other party hung up the phone. Jiang Qingyan frowned, looked up and saw Wen Ruan, and subconsciously put away the phone.
"Here I come."
"Yeah." Wen Ruan asked him, "When did you arrive?"
"I arrived five minutes earlier than you." Jiang Qingyan went to the bank for a meeting in the afternoon and came directly from the bank after it ended.
The box was well heated. Wen Ruan came in and took off her coat, revealing a red dress underneath and a pair of black boots. Her skirt swayed, making her look very charming.
While waiting for the food, she thought about the phone call just now, "Who has a stomachache? Who called just now?"
Jiang Qingyan sat opposite her, holding his phone, lowered his head to send a message, and said casually:
"A friend."
Tonight's private room is different from the previous ones. The boss followed Wen Ruan's wishes and had the lamps and the long square table decorated with flowers, with some other decorations. Warm yellow lights hung on the ceiling, which was romantic and elegant.
At this moment, Wen Ruan felt that all this effort was a bit of a waste.
Because the man opposite didn't see any of these things, his mind was on his phone, and he kept lowering his head to send messages.
After sending the message, he locked the screen, unlocked it, locked it, unlocked it...over and over again, obviously waiting for someone's message.
"A friend? Is it Yao Man? Was it Yao Man who called you just now?"
She pointed it out directly, and Jiang Qingyan finally took his eyes off the phone. He looked up at her and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Qingyan took a look and immediately picked it up.
After answering the phone, his face looked very ugly. He stood up in a panic after hanging up the phone.
Wen Ruan poured herself a glass of red wine and looked up at him.
"Leaving again?"
She saw the caller ID, Yao Man.
Jiang Qingyan's face showed anxiety and apology, "Ruan Ruan, I will try to come back as soon as possible."
He left after he finished speaking. Wen Ruan didn't stop him. He shook the wine glass, picked it up and took a sip. When the wine went down his throat, he tasted a hint of bitterness.
The melodious guzheng music outside the window came in through the gap, gentle and low, like rain hitting banana leaves.
Wen Ruan was distracted by what he heard and thought of the previous anniversary.
The first anniversary, the second anniversary, her birthday, Valentine's Day... Jiang Qingyan always prepared surprises for her.
He would arrange everything in advance, pick out gifts, book restaurants, and take her anywhere she wanted to go, with gentleness and deep love.
This year, he forgot the date.
Two days ago, she asked him if he had booked a restaurant, and he looked confused.
She booked the restaurant for today and bought the flowers, but the dishes haven't been served yet and the male lead has already left.
…
Wen Ruan had a candlelight dinner alone and left the restaurant at 8:30.
Jiang Qingyan never replied to the message and no one answered the phone.
She bought a movie ticket, the same one she and Jiang Qingyan had watched three times but never finished.
The ending of love can be foreseen, and the movie should also have a beginning and an end.
Waiting for the designated driver delayed her for a while, and she was ten minutes late for the 9 o'clock movie. The lights were off and the visibility was dim, so she lowered her head and looked for a seat to sit down.
She had watched the first part of the story three times and was a little absent-minded. She was completely distracted by the second part of the story, and the female ghost on the screen turned into Yao Man's face again.
It's disgusting.
Wen Ruan was so stubborn that he managed to endure and watch to the end.
Snap——
The chair was suddenly kicked from behind, not too hard or too light.
Wen Ruan thought that the person behind him accidentally bumped into him, so he didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, he was kicked twice again.
The kick didn't stop her, she was hit on the back of her head again, but it didn't hurt. Looking at the popcorn that fell on the seat next to her, Wen Ruan turned around with a cold face.
Coincidentally, the movie's ending theme song was already playing and the lights gradually came on.
She saw the culprit.
The man was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a navy blue coat. He had devilish features and his narrow eyes stared straight at her, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised and a smile that seemed to be asking for a beating on his handsome face.
He crossed his legs, looking nonchalant, holding a popcorn in his hand that he had not yet smashed. When he saw her turn around, his smile grew.
He Zheng, founder of Minghe Capital.
Wen Ruan didn't expect that she would meet this bastard while watching a movie. If she had known earlier, she would have changed the cinema.
She has a grudge against He Zheng.
When she was young and ignorant, she did something that was very unfair to He Zheng. She has already apologized, and in her opinion, the matter was not that serious.
But He Zheng felt completely humiliated and still holds a grudge against her to this day.
To what extent do you hold a grudge?
The two of them worked together, and ever since she started working on projects independently, this guy has been making things difficult for her. Whenever she was involved in or interested in a project, he would always try to interfere and snatch everything from her.
After a few exchanges, her initial sense of guilt was wiped out by his anger, and she was merciless when he stole her things.
The two of them had a deep grudge against each other, and everyone in the circle knew that they were sworn enemies. Over the years, neither of them had taken advantage, and neither of them had suffered any loss.
The only thing that gave her a big advantage was the Baiqing project.
He Zheng grabbed it at that time, but he seemed to have encountered something at that time and gave up Bai Xing on his own initiative. Half a year ago, he went abroad to inspect a project and no one knew when he would come back.
The movie was over and people around were leaving one after another.
Wen Ruan only then noticed that there was a long-haired woman sitting next to He Zheng. She was wearing a mask so her face couldn't be seen. She was wearing a black deep V tight skirt and didn't feel cold even though she was not wearing a coat.
There was wariness and hostility in the looks directed at her.
Wen Ruan was originally angry and thought it would be a good opportunity to have a quarrel with He Zheng to vent his anger, but when he saw his girlfriend was there, he endured it again.
He Zheng is a vindictive guy.
He has remembered that little thing for so many years. What if, by some chance, the two of them start quarreling and scare his girlfriend away amidst the flash of swords and sabers? Then this man will have to remember it for her again.
With something in mind, Wen Ruan turned to look at He Zheng and said with a smile:
"Mr. He, I'm in a good mood today. I won't bother with you. This won't happen again."
Her eyes curved when she smiled, and her cold face had an indescribable charm. The woman next to He Zheng almost immediately felt a sense of crisis.
Something is wrong!
Who is this woman? Brother He Zheng recognized her just by looking at the back of her head?
From a woman’s sixth sense, this is definitely a dangerous person!!!
"Brother He Zheng, who is she?"
He Zheng ignored her, stood up and took two steps forward, leaning slightly towards Wen Ruan, his dark eyes staring at her red eyes.
"I'm in a good mood...then why are you crying?"
Wen Ruan was startled, and subconsciously reached out to touch her face. Sure enough, there were tears. She wiped them away and said casually:
"I was scared by the movie. I'm a coward."
"Are you timid?"
He Zheng seemed to have heard a joke, his narrow eyes half-closed, "Weren't you quite courageous when you played tricks on me back then?"
Wen Ruan: “…”
If a hero doesn't brag about his past achievements, he will never get over it, right?
She was in a bad mood tonight and had no intention of dealing with him. "Mr. He, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After saying hello, she ran away. He Zheng wanted to chase her, but the woman next to him came over and took his arm.
"Brother He Zheng, who is she?"
He Zheng pulled back his arm, looked in the direction where Wen Ruan left, and raised his eyebrows lazily.
"She's a heartless little liar."
