Chapter 39 That’s Wen Ruan!
That’s Wen Ruan!
The car drove into a private villa.
When Wen Ruan arrived at the place, he found out that the owner of the villa was Shen Yifan's younger cousin, Shen Yinyin.
She had met Chen Yinyin twice. The first time was last year, on her and Jiang Qingyan's third anniversary. Jiang Qingyan abandoned her to find Yao Man. She went to the movies alone and met He Zheng in the cinema. Chen Yinyin was there at the time, and she thought she was He Zheng's girlfriend.
The second time was also last year, when we met in the hospital.
Wen Ruan didn't expect that He Zheng was looking for Chen Yinyin's styling team.
It wasn't surprising for Chen Yinyin to see Wen Ruan.
She was filming in Haicheng recently. Her cousin called her last night and asked her to ask her styling team to help with her styling.
Her styling team was replaced in February this year.
The stylist was my cousin’s junior high school classmate. She used to be the styling director of one of the five major magazines. After resigning, she opened a styling studio. My cousin helped her finalize the contract after a drink.
She is such an awesome person. From February till now, several of her looks have gone viral, and her resources have obviously improved.
There is no problem in helping with the styling, but my cousin said that he wanted to do the styling for Wen Ruan.
She was very familiar with the name Wen Ruan. She saw her once in the cinema and once in the hospital last year. She didn't like that woman because she always felt that He Zheng treated her differently.
Chen Yinyin didn't want to agree, but her cousin warned her, "Wen Ruan now represents Minghe Capital, and is your brother He Zheng's face. Don't be willful."
I reluctantly agreed, but I felt unhappy.
She secretly told the stylist not to make Wen Ruan too pretty, otherwise what if He Zhengge was seduced by her beauty?
…
Chen Yinyin had a night shoot today and her original plan was to sleep all afternoon. Now she was not sleepy anymore, so when Wen Ruan was doing her styling, she pulled up a chair and sat beside her to watch.
She would find faults from time to time and hint to the stylist not to work too hard, and the stylist glared at her several times.
Chen Yinyin ignored him. She had several questions in her mind, and when she couldn't hold them back any longer, she asked Wen Ruan directly.
"Why did Brother He Zheng ask you to go to Minghe? Does he like you?"
Wen Ruan remembered He Zheng saying that his little cousin Shen Yifan liked him, but it was not the kind of love between men and women. She was obsessed with looks, and if someone more handsome than him came along, she would fall in love with someone else in a matter of minutes.
Wen Ruan didn't want to comment on this, but now he could hear the sourness and jealousy in the little girl's words, so he explained it anyway.
"I had a falling out with Rongli. He and Rongli are competitors. We have a common enemy, and we are just a united front. He doesn't like me."
"real?"
Chen Yinyin's brows were still furrowed. "But he treats you differently. I saw the video of Rong Li's celebration party last year. Weren't you two sworn enemies before? Why would he help you?"
Wen Ruan: "My sworn enemy is only about work. He Zheng is a loyal man. I saved his life in high school, so when I was in trouble, he was willing to help me regardless of past grudges."
Shen Yinyin pressed, "You saved his life? How? What happened to him?"
Wen Ruan: "Yao Tianyu and his men beat him up. He was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. I happened to pass by. The doctor said that if he had been delayed for five minutes, he would have been too late."
The last sentence is a bit exaggerated.
Chen Yinyin was annoyed.
"Damn Yao Tianyu! He's like a rabid dog, always chasing after He Zheng and biting him. He Zheng has already cut ties with them, so he won't snatch it from him..."
The word "family property" was held back by Chen Yinyin.
She covered her mouth, her face flushed red.
It's over. Brother He Zheng is most concerned about his relationship with the Yao family. This is his biggest knot and secret, and she almost let it slip.
Wen Ruan had already heard about He Zheng's life experience from him, so he was very calm at the moment.
Seeing that she was so calm, Shen Yinyin thought she didn't hear clearly and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, I heard that tonight's cocktail party is within your industry?"
She asked her cousin to take her there, but her cousin said that they were in the same industry and it was not appropriate for her to take him, so he asked her to focus on filming.
"yes."
"Then Yao Tianyu will go too, and he will have to bully He Zhengge again."
Chen Yinyin was worried for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Yao Man and her fiancé...that Jiang or something, are they going too?"
Wen Ruan: “Yeah.”
"Fuck!" Chen Yinyin slapped her thigh. "Isn't that just a Shura field similar to a celebration banquet?"
Talking about this, Chen Yinyin's gossipy heart was like a raging fire.
"So, what's with you and that Jiang? Have you ever talked about it?"
When talking about that past event again, Wen Ruan was very calm. She smiled and said, "We did talk about it, but he didn't admit it, so it doesn't really count as a conversation."
Chen Yinyin stared at Wen Ruan's overly delicate face for a while, clapped her hands, and pointed at the stylist:
"Teacher Sun, show us your best skills and make sure she outshines everyone else tonight!"
Although she didn't like Wen Ruan, she hated Yao Man even more because she heard from her cousin that Yao Man had abused He Zhengge in the past.
If Wen Ruan and Yao Man appear together, she hopes Wen Ruan wins!
Stylist: “…Okay!”
He said that this girl was always talking nonsense. Before he came, he warned her not to make Miss Wen too pretty, and now he was asked to show off his special skills.
Although he had no intention of listening to her.
Chen Yinyin didn't notice the stylist's silence, she patted Wen Ruan's shoulder hard.
"Wen Ruan, you have to show your strength tonight! Pin that damned woman Yao Man to the ground and rub her hard until she's dead!"
Wen Ruan thought this little cousin was quite cute and curled her lips slightly, "I'll try my best."
…
An internal cocktail party in the Haicheng investment circle is held every year.
Several leading enterprises take turns to take the lead, and the top 20 enterprises in the city can participate. This year it is Rongli's turn to take the lead.
Yao Wei has rarely participated in such activities since two years ago. As he happened to be away from the country recently, he handed the matter over to his son Yao Tianyu.
The venue for the cocktail party was set at a resort hotel under the Rongli Group.
Yao Tianyu likes to be lively and playful, and he makes a big fuss about it.
Find a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women outside the circle to warm up the party, luxurious Western food, fine wine and orchestral music, and a few little stars wearing sexy dresses showing off their long legs, it will feel more like a fashion dinner.
The industry insiders present all knew Yao Tianyu's style and were not surprised.
The older ones couldn't stand the deafening music, so they simply hid in the lounge to chat and talk about things. The younger ones, on the other hand, really enjoyed the liveliness and gathered in small groups to make friends, talk and exchange business cards.
Yao Tianyu has a bad reputation. He is a real scumbag, but his net worth is also really inlaid with diamonds. Since he entered the industry, he has always been surrounded by beautiful women. In addition to beautiful women, there are also new talents in the industry who are chasing after him to please him.
As everyone knows, the most effective way to please Yao Tianyu is to drag He Zheng down and criticize him to the point that he is useless.
The cocktail party had already begun, and He Zheng had not yet arrived. The group of people surrounding Yao Tianyu became excited.
"He Zheng hasn't come yet. Could it be that he doesn't dare to come?"
"He's probably scared. He thinks he's so awesome, but it's actually Xiao Yao who doesn't want to bother with him. He really thinks he can compete with Xiao Yao. He's overestimating himself."
"That's right, he's not even as good as Xiao Yao by a hair."
"But he's been much more low-key this year. He hasn't made many public appearances in the past six months and has turned down many dinners."
"Indeed, he probably protected Wen Ruan at the celebration banquet and openly opposed President Yao. He got scared afterwards, so he kept a low profile."
"That makes sense, haha."
"Speaking of Wen Ruan, I don't know where she's been hiding. I originally thought she'd go to Minghe. After all, in the entire Haicheng, only He Zheng dared to accept her."
"She competed with Miss Yao for a man, and ended up getting slapped in the face. How could she still have the nerve to stay in Haicheng? If I were her, I would run as far away as possible."
…
The two protagonists who were being talked about had just arrived at the hotel, and two cars were parked in the yard, one in front and one behind.
He Zheng came over after a video conference at the company, and Wen Ruan came from Chen Yinyin's villa. The drivers of the two cars received instructions from their boss and calculated the time and left on time, so they could arrive together.
Wen Ruan's car stopped half a minute late, and He Zheng helped her open the back door.
"Thanks."
Wen Ruan got out of the car, holding up her skirt. He Zheng waited until she stood firmly before closing the door. His gaze lingered uncontrollably on her face and body for a long time, his eyes dimmed and dimmed, and he was speechless for a short time.
Wen Ruan was his female companion and was about to take his arm to go in. Seeing that he didn't say anything and didn't raise his arm, she looked up suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
He Zheng's ears turned red and he looked away uncomfortably. He handed over the jewelry box he had been holding.
"Try it on."
Wen Ruan took it and opened it. She didn't have a deep knowledge of jewelry, but just by looking at the size and exquisite cut of the teardrop-shaped loose diamond necklace in the box, she knew it was priceless.
It's too expensive.
Wen Ruan held the box still and said with a smile, "Are you really letting me wear it? If it gets lost or damaged, do I need to pay for it? I can't afford it."
"I won't let you pay."
He Zheng seemed to be annoyed by her dawdling, so he took out the necklace from the jewelry box, took a step forward, leaned over and put it on her, muttering to himself.
"You represent Minghe today, you are my face, you must be top-notch from head to toe."
He was too tall, and when he came closer, his slender body felt oppressive. Wen Ruan didn't expect him to help her put it on, and his hand still kept holding the jewelry box.
He was too close, his scent was too strong, and his posture was too ambiguous.
After Wen Ruan came back to his senses, he felt a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to say that he would do it himself, He Zheng had already let go of his hand and took a step back.
Wear it.
He stared at her slender neck and was very satisfied. "Don't mention losing it. If you behave well tonight, I can even give it to you."
Wen Ruan lowered his head, reached out and touched the loose diamond, and said with a sigh, "I can't afford it. Mr. He, keep it for yourself."
He Zheng didn't continue the topic. He raised his arm and asked her, "Are you ready?"
Wen Ruan took his arm and smiled with her red lips.
"Is Mr. He ready? If Yao Man and I get into a fight later, Mr. He will have to support me."
He Zheng glanced at her high heels, walked deliberately slowly, and spoke slowly, with a hint of indulgence.
"Wen Ruan, once you join Minghe, you are mine, and no one can bully you."
…
Shen Yifan was out discussing something in the afternoon and came straight here after he was done, arriving half an hour earlier than He Zheng.
This year, Rongli was the host. He wandered among the crowd with a drink in his hand and listened to bad things about He Zheng and Wen Ruan for half an hour.
Shen Yifan was glad that he had a steady hand, otherwise the champagne in his hand would have smashed at least a few people's heads.
He sent a message to He Zheng, asking him when he would arrive. If he didn't arrive, he would have to call an ambulance for him first. After all, he was alone and couldn't beat so many dogs who were flattering the Yao siblings.
After two glasses of champagne, He Zheng finally replied, "At the door."
Shen Yifan was excited. He held the champagne and took a few desserts. He found a comfortable sofa with a good view and sat down to watch the show.
There was soon a commotion at the door.
"Isn't that He Zheng? Who said He Zheng couldn't come? Isn't he here?"
"Who's that beautiful woman next to him? A celebrity? She's absolutely stunning!"
"What the hell! What the hell! That...that's Wen Ruan!"
