Chapter 63: Pursuing true love?
Pursuing true love?
As soon as Yao Man came out of the building, she saw He Zheng's car parked there.
She was just feeling angry and had no place to vent.
They had an appointment with Ai Yue Technology at two o'clock. In order to get this project, she spent the whole morning reading materials. Jiang Qingyan was busy, so she pulled Lin Yue aside to ask for advice and didn't even take a nap.
Be fully prepared.
As a result, the founder Lin Hao had no attitude towards cooperation at all. He was lukewarm towards them, talked about some topics that she didn't understand, did not express his opinion after reading the plan, picked up the teacup and said that he had an important meeting, meaning to send them away.
Later, Jiang Qingyan said, "This is Rongcheng's tea bar."
Just this one sentence piqued Lin Hao's interest. He said that his wife's hometown was Rongcheng, and the tea was local tea from Rongcheng, which his wife picked in the mountains.
Yao Man usually doesn't like to taste tea, but when she drinks it occasionally, she always drinks very expensive tea. She really looks down on the nameless and rotten tea, so she can only force herself to take a sip and can't taste anything special.
Jiang Qingyan was full of praise.
When Lin Hao heard that he graduated from Rongcheng University, he became interested and didn't see him off. He sat there and chatted with Jiang Qingyan about Rongcheng.
They arrived at two o'clock and just came out. They didn't talk about any serious business for more than an hour, and spent most of the time talking about Rongcheng.
She finally realized that Lin Hao had no intention of cooperating at all.
She almost lost her temper in the elevator just now. Jiang Qingyan comforted her and said that Lin Hao must have his own considerations. If it didn't work out this time, they could make an appointment to visit next time.
Yao Man naturally knew that not all collaborations could be concluded in one go.
What made her even more angry was that she was the eldest daughter of Rongli Group, but Lin Hao had been ignoring her. Moreover, they had just spent most of the time talking about Rongcheng.
She doesn't like Rongcheng.
Because Jiang Qingyan and Wen Ruan met in Rongcheng, and their memories are there.
She just minded Wen Ruan's existence. If it weren't for Wen Ruan, Jiang Qingyan's twelve years of waiting for her would have been perfect. Wen Ruan was like a stain that ruined their love.
Yao Man was trying hard to suppress her anger when she saw He Zheng's car.
She hasn't finished settling the bill for the cocktail party with He Zheng yet.
When she pulled Jiang Qingyan over, Yu Yang just opened the back door. From their perspective, it was Wen Ruan who took the initiative to lower her head and kiss the man who was resting his head on her legs. The man's face could not be seen, only the top of his head.
However, it was Yu Yang who opened the door of He Zheng's car, so the person Wen Ruan kissed must be He Zheng.
She said that Wen Ruan and He Zheng must be not innocent.
It must be Wen Ruan who seduced He Zheng.
Seeing Wen Ruanqin He Zheng, Yao Man turned to look at Jiang Qingyan.
He was wearing a custom-made light grey shirt and black trousers today. He had a tall and slender figure and an elegant temperament.
He was handsome, but she didn't like the way he looked now.
Seeing Wen Ruanqin He Zheng, his face looked unhappy and solemn, and he seemed to be frozen there, motionless.
Yao Man took a step closer to him and took his arm directly, "Qing Yan!"
The unhappiness in his voice was obvious.
Jiang Qingyan withdrew his dark eyes from Wen Ruan, lowered his head to adjust the frame of his glasses, patted the back of Yao Man's hand, and was about to speak when the car door opened and He Zheng got out.
"Who is it? Who is farting with his mouth?"
He Zheng got out of the car from the other side and walked around the back of the car, his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slumped. The scorching sun cast a gloomy shadow on his tall figure.
His eyes, now fully awake, were very deep. He glanced at Jiang Qingyan, then looked at Yao Man, and raised the corners of his lips in a nonchalant smile.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Yao? You just said you were restless? You're the only one who's been content. You checked into a room with someone in high school, had an affair with every girl you dated in college, and you came back to be a mistress right after your divorce. You're the only one who's been content."
"He Zheng!"
He brought up what happened back then. Yao Man was furious, but then she calmed down. She looked at Wen Ruan, who was getting out of the car with one foot on the ground, and sneered, "You're quite protective."
She directed her attack at Wen Ruan.
"Wen Ruan, you are really amazing. You are really good at finding someone. You actually found He Zheng as your backer."
Wen Ruan stood beside He Zheng, a smile on his calm face. "I'm not looking for a backer. I'm just like Mr. Jiang. After breaking up, I bravely pursued my first love and pursued true love."
Just like Mr. Jiang, pursuing true love...
Jiang Qingyan looked at her dimly, his eyes meeting hers, and there seemed to be a fire hidden in his cold eyes.
He Zheng glanced at Jiang Qingyan's expressionless face, feeling secretly happy. He straightened his back and his aura became two meters and eighty centimeters higher.
Among those present, only Yao Man was unable to react. "First love? True love?"
Something flashed through her mind, and she widened her eyes in surprise, her gaze shifting between Wen Ruan and He Zheng.
"You...you're talking about He Zheng? He Zheng is your first love?"
Wen Ruan curled the corners of his lips, as if surprised, "You don't know? Mr. Yao knows, I thought he told you."
As if she suddenly remembered something, she pointed at Jiang Qingyan.
"Mr. Jiang also knows about this. Mr. Jiang asked me to have lunch with him yesterday and mentioned this matter. I thought Mr. Jiang also told you."
Yao Man hadn't recovered from the news that 'He Zheng was Wen Ruan's first love', and she seized on Wen Ruan's words 'President Jiang asked me to have lunch with him yesterday at noon'.
Jiang Qingyan invites Wen Ruan to dinner?
Before he could explode, Wen Ruan spoke again.
"Ms. Yao, I hope you keep an eye on your fiancé. He's been causing me a lot of trouble. He blocked me in the Rose Garden the night of the cocktail party, and asked me out for lunch yesterday. He's been trying to keep me away from He Zheng."
Yao Man's face became even uglier.
Now even Jiang Qingyan's face began to lose its composure. He looked straight at Wen Ruan. He didn't expect that she would expose his intentions in front of him. The emotions in his dark eyes cracked, and finally he gave in to helplessness.
He almost forgot that this girl always holds a grudge.
Wen Ruan ignored his unpredictable face and continued talking to Yao Man.
"I don't know what Mr. Jiang means, but we've already broken up. If he keeps doing this, it'll bother me and cause He Zheng to misunderstand. So I hope Miss Yao will keep an eye on her fiancé."
Seeing that Yao Man was shaking with anger, Wen Ruan looked up at He Zheng and said, "It's almost time. Shall we go in?"
He Zheng was in high spirits at the moment, and his voice was filled with joy and laughter. "Okay."
After the two left, Yu Yang, who had witnessed the whole process, was afraid that he would be in trouble if Yao Man got angry, so he got into the car at an extremely fast speed and drove to the parking lot in front.
Only Yao Man and Jiang Qingyan were left there.
"The rose garden at the reception? Yesterday at lunch?"
Yao Man couldn't believe it.
At the party, she had never been separated from him since she entered. They separated later because she was humiliated by He Zheng and she had an argument with Yao Tianyu in the lounge. He seemed to have gone out at that time.
So he went to find Wen Ruan? He went to find Wen Ruan when she was so miserable?
And yesterday at noon, she was so uncomfortable that she had no appetite, and he went to have dinner with Wen Ruan?
Bang!
Yao Manyang raised her hand and hit him, almost shouting from the top of her throat, "Jiang Qingyan, are you still thinking about her?"
Jiang Qingyan was slapped hard, and his glasses were knocked askew. He reached out to straighten his glasses, and a cold look flashed across his lowered eyes.
When he looked up again, his face was warm and he explained in a soft voice.
"We met by chance at the Rose Garden. I went there to smoke, and she happened to be there. Yesterday at noon, I was delivering a project to He Zheng, but He Zheng didn't want to see me, so I wanted to give the information to Wen Ruan. Chen Yi followed me, and Yu Yang followed Wen Ruan. We didn't meet alone."
Yao Man didn't hit him on purpose.
She was so angry that she lost control of her impulse. After listening to his gentle explanation, she calmed down a little, but still didn't want to apologize.
"Isn't it good that she likes He Zheng? Why do you want her to stay away from He Zheng?"
Jiang Qingyan was silent for a while, then asked her, "Do you want Wen Ruan and He Zheng to be together?"
"Isn't it good? If she's with He Zheng, she won't bother you anymore."
Yao Man thought it was fine, as long as Wen Ruan didn't bother Jiang Qingyan, and He Zheng was a jerk, a vulgar hooligan.
Wen Ruan and He Zheng, Cao Gen and Gangster, isn't that a perfect match?
Jiang Qingyan's eyes were deep, and he smiled slowly, "Your father wants to recognize He Zheng. If Wen Ruan is really with He Zheng, and they get married one day, they will be a family with us. During the holidays, we will all eat at the same table."
Yao Man's face changed completely.
Yes, why didn't she think that her father wanted to recognize He Zheng as his wife? If He Zheng really married into the Yao family, then Wen Ruan would marry He Zheng and become her sister-in-law.
She must marry Jiang Qingyan.
Imagine that she, Jiang Qingyan, Wen Ruan and He Zheng, the four of them became a family and ate under the same roof... It's simply unbearable to think about, it makes her angry.
No, either my father cannot recognize He Zheng, or Wen Ruan cannot be with He Zheng.
Jiang Qingyan looked at her unpredictable expression, his thin lips slightly curled, and his black eyes were filled with a dark light.
Pursuing true love?
Oh.
…
Ai Yue is located in a science and technology park in the southwest corner of Haicheng city.
It was exactly half past three when Wen Ruan and He Zheng arrived at the floor.
Lin Hao's secretary came out to meet them. After passing the noisy and busy office area, the two were brought into a spacious and bright office decorated in a Chinese style.
Lin Hao was already waiting inside. When he saw the two men come in, he stood up to greet them, politely shook hands with He Zheng, and nodded to Wen Ruan.
After the necessary greetings, the three of them sat down. Lin Hao sat on the single sofa, and Wen Ruan and He Zheng sat on the long sofa next to them.
Tea was brewing on the coffee table, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
While Lin Hao was chatting and laughing with He Zheng, Wen Ruan looked at him calmly.
He was wearing a black casual outfit. He had a square face, fine wrinkles on his forehead, and a few strands of white hair on his temples that did not match his age. He was not well-maintained, but his temperament was calm and he had the texture of time.
He Zheng said he was not interested in this opportunity and was not eager to accept the olive branch extended by investors.
That's true.
After sitting down, Lin Hao kept talking about other topics.
For example, China's economic and consumer market, the bad things capital has done, and the investment philosophy of the Yale Endowment Fund...
He Zheng answered fluently and was able to connect with every sentence. He looked at him with admiration but did not mention the matter of cooperation.
Finally, He Zheng turned the topic to this cooperation. He took the plan and flipped through it, then put it down and picked up the cup to drink some tea.
"Well, you two go back first. I have a meeting soon, so that's all for today. I'll discuss the plan with the other responsible persons. After all, Ai Yue doesn't belong to me alone."
This means seeing someone off.
Wen Ruan also held a cup in her hand, and she suddenly said, "This is Rongcheng tea."
Lin Hao had been chatting with He Zheng before, and only now did he look at her.
"Director Wen has drunk it?"
Wen Ruan smiled and replied, "Yes, I studied at Rongcheng University. Two years ago, when I returned to my alma mater for its anniversary celebration, I spent a few days in the local area and stayed at a Shengyue B&B in the mountains. The tea brewed by the B&B owner tasted exactly like this. The tea was grown by the owner himself."
When Lin Hao heard her mention Shengyue B&B, his expression became subtle. After a while, he said in surprise:
"Mr. Jiang from Rongli just left, and Director Wen said almost exactly the same thing to him."
He Zheng was secretly unhappy when he heard the word "Rongcheng", and he became even more unhappy when he heard Lin Hao's words.
Feeling slightly bitter after being unhappy, he said nothing and turned to look at Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan had a fluctuating expression and smiled openly.
"Really? I wonder if Mr. Lin saw Rongli's celebration banquet last year. Jiang Qingyan and I both graduated from Rongcheng University. Two years ago, I attended the school celebration with him and we drank tea together, so it's normal for us to say the same thing."
The video of Rongli’s celebration banquet went viral in the Haicheng circle last year, and Lin Hao saw it in a certain founder group.
It just had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it and just treated it as news.
I only remembered this when I heard her mention it.
To Wen Ruan, it was a bloody disaster. Lin Hao was an outsider and did not judge the right and wrong of the two, but what he said just now did embarrass her, so he apologized.
"I'm sorry."
Wen Ruan smiled and said it was okay, "It's not a big deal, but since we're talking about this, I'll just say it straight away."
She put down the cup and turned to Lin Hao and said, "Boss Lin, you actually want to seize this opportunity, but you have many concerns because of your wife."
Hearing this, Lin Hao's expression changed completely.
