Chapter 49 Remember to put on your clothes
Remember to put on your clothes
As a former mortal enemy, Wen Ruan had studied He Zheng and had an in-depth understanding of Minghe Capital.
The 36-story building standing in front of us is not called Minghe Building.
Its predecessor was the headquarters of a real estate group. Two years ago, the group filed for bankruptcy due to broken capital chains in multiple projects and its inability to repay huge debts for a long time. The building later became the target of various capital tycoons.
Back then, Yao Tianyu was determined to acquire this building.
Rongli Capital was acquired by Rongli Group at a high price. It was not located in the Financial Street before and its geographical location was not good. After Yao Tianyu took over, he wanted to move to the Financial Street, but he could not find a suitable location.
Rongli Group is located in the heart of the Financial Street. The east and west buildings form a twin tower. Yao Wei vacated a few floors on the west side for him, and Rongli Capital moved into the group's West Star Building.
But in fact, Yao Tianyu has always wanted to be independent. He doesn't want people to think that he has achieved his current success thanks to the group.
When the real estate group's building was to be auctioned, Yao Tianyu and He Zheng took notice.
The two competed fiercely. Originally, Yao Tianyu was the most likely to win, but in the end, He Zheng won.
On the day the building was renamed Minghe Building, Wen Ruan learned some inside information from Lin Yue, who said that Yao Wei intervened during the auction.
Before the second round of auction, He Zheng met with Yao Wei. They didn't know what went on in the conversation, but Yao Wei stopped Yao Tianyu from bidding and secretly protected He Zheng, allowing him to bid at the lowest and best price.
Yao Tianyu lost his temper every day at the company during that period.
If we talk about why Yao Tianyu hates He Zheng more and more, Yao Wei is definitely the biggest reason.
After Yao Tianyu lost Minghe Building, he set his sights on a piece of land in the south of the city last year.
To be precise, it was He Zheng who took a fancy to it first, and Yao Tianyu just liked to snatch it from him. During the competition, Yao Tianyu asked a master to calculate it, and the master said that it was a Feng Shui treasure land and would bring him good luck.
He was even more determined to win it and was ready to use it to build the headquarters of Rongli Capital.
As a result, He Zheng won again.
He Zheng said that the land in the south of the city was given to him for free by Yao Wei because Yao Tianyu had plotted against Minghe in the Chaoce project, and he paid the compensation on behalf of Yao Tianyu.
Yao Tianyu was furious. Earlier this year, he had a fight with He Zheng and the matter even went to the police station.
Tsk, a father who betrays his son.
…
Minghe Building has a total of 36 floors. Minghe Capital occupies the top five floors, and the lower floors are all rented out.
Land is extremely valuable and the rent is high, but many companies are flocking to it.
There is no way. This is Financial Street, a symbol of wealth. Who wouldn’t want to come here? But this place is so small. Other office buildings are full. Only Minghe Building has space.
But the number of places is limited.
Acquaintances came to make friends, and those who were not familiar with the relationship used their connections to make friends. So He Zheng said that it didn't matter how deep the relationship was, it only mattered who offered the most money, and the highest bidder would win.
Later, someone calculated that He Zheng could support a small company with just the rent he collected in a year.
During rush hour, several elevator entrances were full of people.
Everyone was in a hurry. When the elevator door opened, the glamorous urban elites rushed in. In the blink of an eye, the elevator was full and overweight.
He Zheng is a man who never treats himself unfairly in certain things. When the building was renovated, he specially asked someone to reserve an exclusive elevator.
Exclusive for Minghe President He Zheng.
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Wen Ruan followed He Zheng into the elevator with a special sign. As soon as the door closed, the sound of discussion outside began.
"The woman next to He Zheng is Wen Ruan, right? So she's officially reporting to Minghe today?"
"I've never seen anything like this before. Who would have thought that one day Wen Ruan would go to Minghe?"
"The most outrageous thing is that He Zheng is actually Yao Wei's son. That means He Zheng and Yao Tianyu are brothers. They've been fighting to the death for the past few years. It turns out they're fighting over the family fortune!"
“…”
He Zheng and Wen Ruan appeared in Minghe Building at the same time, alarming many people.
The most lively one is Minghe Capital.
The small group in the company without a leader was in an uproar at this moment.
Risk Control Center - Xu Ya: [I watched the video of last night's cocktail party. President He said Wen Ruan was the Investment Director. The Investment Department has five teams, and only the Investment Director of Department 5, Qian Wei, has left. So, is she going to Department 5?]
Legal Department - Cheng Bin: [I guess since Qian Wei left, his position has been vacant ever since. Earlier this year, the office of the Director of Department 5 was even renovated. I heard it was President He's order. Now it seems like they're just waiting for Wen Ruan.]
Xing Ke'er, Public Relations Department: [Really? Last year, during Rongli's celebration party, Wen Ruan was being cyberbullied. President He called our manager, and the entire public relations department worked overtime overnight to help Wen Ruan clean up the negative information. At the time, I thought President He had a crush on Wen Ruan. Later, our manager said he'd sounded out President Shen, and he said President He was trying to recruit Wen Ruan as a favor.]
Fund Management Division - Lu Yu: [Is no one talking about Mr. He? Our Mr. He is the young master of Rongli Group! !]
Finance Department - Luo Dandan: [You'd better shut up. Mr. He has kept silent about this identity for years and openly fought with Yao Tianyu, which shows that he really hates this identity. Just know it, but it's best not to mention it.]
Fund Management Division - Lu Yu: [Ah, that's right.]
Investment Department 5 - Ni Fei: [Oh my god, do we finally have a boss? Wen Ruan is my goddess, oh my god, my boss is Wen Ruan, I'm perfect, hahahaha!]
Investment Department 3 - Wu Xianghui: [What are you so happy about? She's still calling you a goddess! Didn't you see Wen Ruan's dark history last year? Her coming to Minghe will only bring bad things to the company. I wonder what Mr. He is thinking.]
Investment Department 5 - Ni Fei: [Get lost! Those are all rumors! You're just jealous. You're afraid that if Wen Ruan comes to our Department 5, your three departments' top rankings will be in jeopardy.]
Investment Department 3 - Zhang Tao: [Why are you jealous? Your department 5's performance has always been at the bottom. Do you really think Wen Ruan is so amazing? She used to rely on Jiang Qingyan.]
Investment Department 5 - Ni Fei: [You too, get out! President He brought our boss to the cocktail party and even took her in the CEO's exclusive elevator. Everyone can see how much he values her. Do your directors get this kind of treatment? You're all just jealous.]
Investment Department 2 - Zhang Mingmin: [The boss is calling me now! You five departments may not have any other skills, but you're really good at flattering me.]
…
As the group chat went on, it eventually turned into a civil war among the five teams in the investment department.
Wen Ruan didn't know about this, she was taken to He Zheng's office.
Thirty-sixth floor, top floor.
The room is nearly 300 square meters and is decorated mainly in black and gold. It is spacious, luxurious and elegant, with a large desk and a boss chair, and tall and long black lacquered bookshelves filled with books.
In addition to the office area, there is a lounge inside and a terrace outside with a mini golf course.
Minghe and Rongli only fought each other in the past and never cooperated, so Wen Ruan had never been to Minghe. Today was his first time setting foot there and also his first time entering He Zheng's office.
She quickly looked around and finally fixed her eyes on He Zheng.
He was wearing a smoky grey slim-fit shirt and black trousers today. He had deep facial features and long, straight legs. At the moment, he was standing in front of a large black desk, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. His movements were noble and elegant.
Maybe he didn't get enough rest last night, there was a bit of fatigue between his brows, but the corners of his lips were raised, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Why are you standing?" He Zheng raised his chin towards the leather sofa next to him, "Go sit there."
He unbuttoned his shirt and walked towards the sofa.
"There's a meeting coming up soon. You should come with me later. I might be very busy after the meeting, so let Shen Yifan take you around so you can get familiar with the environment."
As he was speaking, Shen Yifan opened the door and came in.
"Hey, Lao He, you're so heartless. I agreed to take your car to the company this morning, but you just ran away."
Shen Yifan suffered from severe insomnia last night and didn't want to drive in the morning. Knowing that He Zheng brought Wen Ruan over, he also wanted to take a ride. As a result, he went to take a shower, and when he came out, He Zheng had already left.
I called the driver to pick me up again. Since I could not make it to the morning meeting, he took a taxi here.
"You are a man who values love over friendship. Do you want to be with Wen Ruan..."
Seeing Ruan sitting on the sofa, Shen Yifan suppressed the words "Let's be alone together".
No matter how familiar they were before, Shen Yifan was now considered her leader. Wen Ruan greeted him politely, "Good morning, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yifan closed the door and came over, sat down next to He Zheng, and said with a smile:
"Don't be so formal. I even copied your homework in high school. Haha, we're old friends now. Just call me by my name when there are no outsiders around."
Wen Ruan smiled and the two chatted for a while about high school. The atmosphere was quite good. Shen Yifan noticed that He Zheng glanced at him sideways and knew that he thought he was a redundant light bulb, so he was very aware of it.
"Okay, you guys chat first. I'll go get some breakfast. See you in the conference room later."
Before leaving, he asked He Zheng, "You didn't eat breakfast, should I bring you something?"
He Zheng wanted to say yes, but he glanced at Wen Ruan and shook his head, "No, I can't get used to eating breakfast outside."
Shen Yifan stared in surprise, and when he saw him glance at Wen Ruan out of the corner of his eye, he was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes, but didn't expose him.
"Okay, I'll eat it myself and you go hungry."
After he left, Wen Ruan turned to look at He Zheng, "Didn't you eat breakfast?"
"No," He Zheng moved his shoulders slightly, "My back hurts when I pull it. I can't cook these days. I can't get used to breakfast outside, and Shen Yifan can't cook either. I have to go hungry these days."
People from the president's office would come in early every day. According to He Zheng's habit, the air conditioner would be turned on and tea would be prepared.
He Zheng handed the brewed tea to Wen Ruan and casually asked her, "What did you eat this morning?"
Wen Ruan took the tea and said, "I made it myself."
He Zheng asked casually again, "What did you cook? How is your cooking? Is the food edible?"
Wen Ruan looked at his serious expression and slowly began to smile.
"Mr. He, if you want to eat for free, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."
You didn’t say it hurt when you were cooking noodles last night, but now it hurts?
Can't get used to eating breakfast outside? When he was in high school, he would go hiking and buy six buns from a roadside bun shop. He would give her two and eat four, and they were delicious.
He Zheng knew that she had seen through his thoughts, so he simply became thick-skinned and asked, "So can I come to your place for dinner this morning?"
"Yes."
It's just a meal, just an extra pair of chopsticks, but...
Wen Ruan glanced at his chest and said, "But when Mr. He knocks on the door, remember to put on your clothes."
He Zheng was burned by her gaze. "Are you talking about last night? I injured my back last night, so I had to open my bathrobe a little."
He thought she mentioned the clothes on purpose because she was disgusted with his peacock-like figure show last night. His heart tightened a little and he added another sentence.
"Don't worry, I'm a gentleman and I won't do anything to you."
Wen Ruan smiled, as if jokingly, "I know, I'm just afraid of what I might do to you."
He Zheng was stunned, his heart was pounding, and his ears started to turn red. He thought to himself, what does this mean? Is she satisfied with his figure?
Wen Ruan wasn't the type to joke like that, so she was telling the truth? So, was his audacity to seduce her with his body the right approach?
He Zheng was secretly delighted and was about to speak when Yu Yang knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. He, the meeting will start in five minutes. You..."
Yu Yang stopped talking and swallowed hard.
What's going on? What's that look in the boss's eyes? Why is it so murderous?
As he walked towards the meeting room, Yu Yang was terrified and wanted to ask himself if he had done something wrong. He Zheng ignored him. All he could think about was:
Tonight, I will also ask Wen Ruan to help apply the medicine.
