Chapter 86 I Miss You
I miss you
Yang Qi went to drive the car, and Wen Ruan stood waiting at the hospital entrance.
Unsure of what this young master from North City was up to, she asked, "What do you want?"
Ruan Hao said he wanted to rent a house. "I can't stay in a hotel all the time. Can you accompany me to find a house tomorrow?"
Hearing that it was a private matter, Wen Ruan directly refused, "I'm not free tomorrow. I have to move tomorrow."
Tomorrow is Saturday, and her things are still in the house she rented before, so He Zheng said he would help her move.
"The company has dormitories," Wen Ruan added, thinking that the young master probably didn't like living with others, "and there are single apartments. I'll help you apply for them."
Minghe’s employee benefits are quite good. You can apply for a dormitory upon joining the company, and those at the director level and above can apply for a single luxury apartment. She can apply for it on his behalf in her name and just need to say hello to He Zheng.
"Are you moving?"
On the other end of the phone, Ruan Hao's voice rose slightly, "Then send me the address and I'll help you move tomorrow."
Wen Ruan refused. How could she dare to let the young master do manual labor? "No, if you want to live in an apartment, I will help you apply on Monday. If you want to rent a house, you can find Ni Fei. He is also a local of Haicheng and is more familiar with it."
Yang Qi had already driven over, and Wen Ruan hung up the phone directly, "That's it, I have something else to do, see you on Monday."
In a newly opened Chinese restaurant in the city, Ni Fei saw Ruan Hao hang up the phone and slowly swallow the beef in his mouth.
"Why do you have to make such a fuss? I'll live by myself, and you can just live with me. You're only in Haicheng for one summer anyway."
Ruan Hao was not used to the food in Haicheng and had no appetite.
"Because my stay was short, I had to interact with her more. I wanted to see where she lived. I rented a house in her neighborhood so I could share her car every day when I went to and from get off work."
Ni Fei wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"You're just wasting your energy. Let me tell you, if Wen Ruan were my biological sister, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams. Why are you still wasting your energy here investigating her? What the hell is this? Just take her home."
Not to mention his biological sister, Ni Fei was excited for several hours after he knew that Wen Ruan was his cousin.
The goddess becomes my cousin, and their relationship takes a step further. If Wen Ruan succeeds with He Zheng in the future, haha, my idol will be his brother-in-law. Life is so perfect, isn’t it!
Ruan Hao ignored Ni Fei's excitement. He had his own pace. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then gave Ni Fei a task.
"Call her tomorrow morning and ask her where she's moving and where she's moving to."
…
Just as Wen Ruan hung up the phone with Ruan Hao, He Zheng called again.
"Ready to go back?"
Wen Ruan opened the car door and bent down to get in. "Yeah, I just got in the car and was ready to go."
She brought Yang Qi here to reassure He Zheng. Yang Qi was his confidant and would definitely report everything to him in detail as soon as possible.
So she was not surprised at all when He Zheng called her at the exact moment. She told him something that Yang Qi didn't hear.
"Yao Tianyu said he needed to think about it, but it's basically settled. He's worried there might be pitfalls, so he needs to think it over carefully."
He Zheng's dinner party had not yet ended, and he came out under the pretext of smoking to call her.
Yang Qi told him on WeChat that after she met Yao Tianyu, she went to see Jiang Qingyan, and Yang Qi also reported truthfully what she said to Jiang Qingyan.
In the empty corridor, He Zheng bit a cigarette, and the lighter suddenly lit up, the orange-red flame highlighting his tired and handsome face.
After Yang Qi finished his report, he said, "Director Wen was smiling the whole time and seemed to be in a good mood."
Are you in a good mood?
No, that smile was just superficial. He knew Wen Ruan too well. The more sarcastic her words were, the calmer she was, and the more she smiled, the worse her mood was.
How can it be good?
After all, he was her former lover, after all, the man she once loved so much, who stabbed her in the back twice. The depression in her heart probably never dissipated, otherwise she would not have gone to find Jiang Qingyan.
She should be sad now.
On the phone, Wen Ruan was still talking about Yao Tianyu.
He Zheng listened quietly. In the white smoke, he interrupted her with a hoarse and seductive voice, "Wen Ruan, do you miss me?"
Wen Ruanzheng was talking about the miserable state of Yao Tianyu lying on the hospital bed. He was stunned when he heard the words, and smiled helplessly, "Mr. He, we have only been apart for less than two hours."
He Zheng said, "But Wen Ruan, I miss you so much."
He had been drinking tonight, and his voice was lazy and gentle, soaked in the wine. Wen Ruan heard the undisguised strong love in it, and was speechless for a moment, her heart inexplicably touched.
She didn't want to dwell on this emotion, and even less wanted to be affected by such uncontrollable factors.
So she deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and smiled ambiguously.
"Yes, but not today. I have to go home. Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll be moving tomorrow, so I can go home later."
He Zheng: “…”
He was being sentimental, but she labeled him a lecher who only had that kind of thing on his mind.
"Although I want to keep my distance from you all the time, you are such a sentimentless woman. I'm expressing my feelings, can't you hear it?"
Negative distance?
Wen Ruan was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, emptying his mind. It took him a while to realize what 'negative distance' meant, and he cursed with a smile.
"Get lost, okay, you haven't finished yet, right? Come on in, I'll text you when I get home, don't drink too much."
Before hanging up the phone, she still followed his lead and said, "I miss you, too."
…
He Zheng's dinner tonight is arranged at a private restaurant in the south of the city.
The person who organized the party was Zhao Ding, the founder of Feiding Investment. Several of Zhao Ding's partners wanted to meet He Zheng and asked him to help build a bridge. He Zheng gave him face and went out for dinner.
There were eight people sitting at the table. Except for Zhao Ding, the others took turns to raise their glasses to toast Zheng.
Some people took a fancy to the piece of land in the south of the city that he owned, and wanted to invest in it no matter what project it was. Some people handed him project books to promote cooperation, and some people asked for his WeChat ID to make friends.
There were also some who were not tactful and had a low alcohol tolerance. After a few drinks, their minds were hanging in the air and they mentioned his relationship with the Yao family.
"Boss He, you've been fighting each other to the death with Rongli's boss Yao for years. Who would have thought that you two are actually brothers?"
"Now that your relationship is public, you shouldn't fight anymore. After all, if brothers quarrel publicly, it will be embarrassing for Director Yao. He can't just ignore it, right?"
Zhao Ding has been in the industry for nearly thirty years. He has been through both the white and black roads, has a wide network of contacts and sources of information, and basically has information on all the celebrities in Haicheng.
Rongli Group is the leading enterprise in Haicheng. The Yao family has absolute power. He had conducted an in-depth investigation into Yao Wei and knew that He Zheng was Yao Wei's son.
He initially approached He Zheng because of Yao Wei, but after getting to know him better, he liked He Zheng very much. The two were nearly twenty years apart in age, so they were considered close friends regardless of age difference.
Zhao Ding understood He Zheng and knew that he had resentment towards the Yao family, but he had never wanted to mention it.
When he heard that person suddenly bring it up, he was afraid that He Zheng would be unhappy, so his face turned cold. Just as he was about to say a few words to put the matter behind him, He Zheng spoke instead.
"Of course not. A few days ago, they called me back to the old house and asked me to work with Yao Tianyu. I was thinking, who would work with him? He directly gave me a project with unicorn potential, and I couldn't refuse it."
Everyone heard two meanings in his words.
First, Minghe and Rongli are about to cooperate, and second, Yao Wei still loves He Zheng very much, and it is really hard to say who will be the heir of Rongli Group in the future.
As the cups were being toasted, everyone at the table had their own thoughts and the number of toasts and congratulations became more frequent.
After the dinner, Zhao Ding saw He Zheng out, but he figured out some other meaning from He Zheng's words.
"By agreeing to cooperate with Rong Li, have you given in to Yao Wei? Have you thought it through? Do you want to compete for the heir position?"
He Zheng took the cigarette he handed over and laughed, "Guess."
Zhao Ding couldn't guess.
"I used to tell you that Rongli Group is such a big piece of lucrative meat, and you're qualified to inherit it. You shouldn't refuse it, but you just ignored it. Later, I stopped trying to persuade you. Why did you suddenly come to your senses now? Is it because your background was made public? That's not like you."
He Zheng didn't say anything.
He still looks down on Rongli Group and the Yao family.
But if he has to fight to protect Wen Ruan, then he is willing to fight, even if it means getting hurt.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhao Ding didn't ask any more questions. He changed the subject and mentioned another matter.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will sell Chaoce in October."
He Zheng was not surprised. He just smiled and said, "Dong Chao is really useless. I thought he could last long, but in less than a year, he was swallowed by you, an old fox."
Zhao Ding understands people's hearts too well and can accurately grasp their weaknesses.
He knew that Dong Chao had a bad relationship with Yang Sheng of Lingyi Technology, and that Dong Chao was eager to win over Yang Sheng, so when discussing the investment conditions with Dong Chao, he directly pointed out that Dong Chao had directional errors in management.
In order to prevent their investment from going down the drain, they need a controlling stake.
Dong Chao was naturally unwilling to lose the controlling stake at the beginning, so Zhao Ding pretended to compromise and invested a small sum of money first. Later, he secretly created a small crisis for Chao Ce and released the news that Ling Yi had found a new investor. Dong Chao wanted to win so much that he had no choice but to agree in a panic.
The contract was re-signed, and Feiding made additional investments, which led to Chaoce's current glory.
Zhao Ding exhaled a puff of smoke. He was not angry at being called an old fox. He smiled and shook his head.
"Take Dong Chao as an example. He can do his best as an operations director, but he's not up to the task of being a boss. If I don't take him in, his crappy studio will go bankrupt in two years at most, and he'll be saddled with debt. I'm saving him."
He looked at He Zheng and gave him a kind reminder.
"You were the one who set us up in the first place. You and Pan Rui are friends, right? Chaoce is his hard work. If I sell Chaoce, it would be like destroying his dream. Technical guys like them can be pretty stubborn sometimes. Will it affect your friendship?"
He Zheng: "No matter how stubborn you are, you have to face reality. What he needs more than dreams right now is money. Wouldn't it be good for him to make some money?"
He didn't want to talk about Pan Rui, so he brought up another matter.
"Gao Peng, the founder of Changjun Biology, please make an appointment for me."
Zhao Ding frowned. He could indeed arrange an appointment with the person, but—
"Chang Jun is in his last round of financing, and you want to catch their last train? I told you before that Chang Jun might go bankrupt, why didn't you listen to my advice?"
He Zheng gave him a look. Zhao Ding knew the grudge between him and Rong Li, and he was very shrewd. A puff of cigarette choked his throat, he coughed it out and laughed.
"Okay, give me some time and I'll help you get someone out."
By the end of the conversation, he was genuinely curious, "You were planning to move to Singapore, but you suddenly stayed and wanted to take over the group. What motivated you?"
He Zheng tapped the ash from his cigarette and sighed, "Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman."
Beauty, He Zheng felt happy both physically and mentally at the thought of being able to be close to his beloved beauty again tomorrow night.
Zhao Ding looked at his expression and figured out something. It was obvious that he was in love.
who?
That Wen Ruan?
