The sun shone brightly, its gentle rays carrying a hint of autumn coolness, offering respite from the summer heat. As the sun set, the Mingzhu Company was bustling with people; it was time to leave work.
Yan Rui, dressed in a suit and tie, walked to the underground parking lot, loosened his tie, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally finished a hard day's work and now it was time for his personal time.
Because of his childhood experiences, Yan Rui is exceptionally dependent on Wu You. In front of outsiders, he is a typical social elite, speaking and acting with a maturity and sophistication rarely seen in young people. Only in front of Wu You does he show a bit of softness.
No matter how busy they are, the mother and son always have dinner together in the evenings. Whether at home, in a restaurant, or outdoors, they can be found everywhere, enjoying family time together. This is their private time, and they never allow anyone else to interfere.
As the fatigue of work subsided, Yan Rui roused himself and drove away slowly. The black car moved like a swift cheetah through the traffic, quickly disappearing into the flow of cars.
Days slipped through his fingers like flowing water, and Yan Rui's life was as unchanging as plain boiled water, yet he was content with this simple and happy existence. His business was thriving, and his life was as peaceful as water—this was the life Yan Rui had always pursued.
Under Wuyou's guidance, Yan Rui grew up well, and Mingzhu Company flourished under his leadership, gradually expanding into other industries.
In contrast, the Fang Group is showing signs of decline. It is a typical family business with a complex web of relationships, and the descendants of the group are fiercely competing for power.
Considering various factors, Yan Rui decided to venture into the shopping mall industry. Combined with Mingzhu Company's own signature cosmeceuticals, he was confident that he could achieve unexpected results.
Collaborating with other companies is undoubtedly an excellent option. After much consideration, Yan Rui set his sights on the Qin family, the family of Qin Feifei, Fang Yuanyi's fiancée.
The Qin family is a typical emerging family, determined to reform, and all its members are outstanding, achieving excellent results in their respective fields. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by Fang Yuanyi and his son for a marriage alliance.
Miss Qin Feifei is also an extremely outstanding woman. After graduating from university, she joined the family business and, with her excellent abilities, rose to the position of sales manager, leading a group of women to quickly conquer a large territory.
The two companies quickly reached a cooperation agreement after initial contact, as such cooperation would be extremely beneficial to both parties. The person in charge of the liaison was Qin Feifei.
Sunlight streamed into the spacious and bright office, and a vibrant floral world unfolded before the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. Yan Rui, dressed in a silver-gray suit, smiled, his handsome face radiating an indescribable warmth.
Opposite him sat a woman in a burgundy business suit. Her long hair was dyed burgundy curls and draped over her shoulders, making her look charming and elegant. She wore heavy makeup, but it did not detract from her stunning beauty. She sat there with a smile on her lips, exuding an indescribable powerful aura.
After listening to Yan Rui's vision for cooperation between the two companies, Qin Feifei clapped her hands, her eyes full of appreciation and admiration for Yan Rui. "President Yan's plan is perfect. Our company will definitely do its best to cooperate and have a pleasant collaboration."
Then, Qin Feifei extended her hand, and Yan Rui politely shook her fair and delicate right hand before quickly releasing it. This eagerness to avoid her only deepened the smile in Qin Feifei's eyes. She felt no insult; instead, she found Yan Rui somewhat endearing and even more so, a gentlemanly and polite man.
"Business has been concluded. I wonder if Miss Qin is free? If so, I'd like to invite you for coffee," Yan Rui said, extending a gentlemanly invitation.
He thought Qin Feifei would refuse, but to his surprise, she smiled and nodded without hesitation, showing no sign of reluctance. "Sure, I happen to have some free time and can have a good chat with President Yan."
The words had already been spoken, so there was no going back. Yan Rui smiled and made the arrangements, leading Qin Feifei to a coffee shop near the company. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Yan Rui specially chose a window seat where they could observe the scenery outside. This thoughtful arrangement made Qin Feifei like him even more.
In his more than twenty years of life, Yan Rui had only met a handful of women, and he felt slightly uneasy when facing Qin Feifei alone. Although Yan Rui hid it very well, he did not escape Qin Feifei's eyes.
Qin Feifei was a typical heiress from a prominent family, speaking and acting with grace and propriety. The two quickly became acquainted as they chatted, and Yan Rui's initial awkwardness disappeared, leading to a very congenial conversation.
"Mr. Yan is so outstanding, I wonder if you have a girlfriend?" Qin Feifei asked this question as if she were possessed, staring at Yan Rui without blinking. Sure enough, she saw that his ears turned red and he picked up his coffee and took a sip, feeling a little awkward.
"Ahem..." Yan Rui really didn't expect Qin Feifei to speak so bluntly. He coughed and lowered his eyelids slightly. "No, I'm so busy with work right now, how could I have time to find a girlfriend?"
"That's great! I have many excellent friends I can introduce to President Yan. I'm sure they won't disappoint you." Qin Feifei smiled and clapped her hands, her smile widening.
To be honest, if he weren't already engaged, she probably would have been tempted to take him down. In high society, men who are both outstanding and innocent are rare; they're practically a precious, protected species. He has many female friends; there must be someone suitable for Yan Rui.
"This..." Yan Rui was speechless for a moment. He really had no such intention, but seeing Qin Feifei so happy, he didn't want to offend her. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Yan Rui." A soft female voice rang out, instantly breaking the silence. Yan Rui felt a sense of relief, while Qin Feifei's eyes flashed with displeasure.
She wore a pink and white strapless dress with a white woolen coat over it. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her hair was loosely tied in a bun. Her delicate face was pale and weak, making her the kind of woman that would make any man feel sorry for her.
When Qin Feifei saw Cheng Momo, the smile on her lips momentarily faded, but this change was extremely brief, and Yan Rui did not notice it. Cheng Momo, on the other hand, did not pay any attention to Qin Feifei.
"You are... Cheng Momo? What are you doing here?" Yan Rui was momentarily taken aback when she saw Cheng Momo, but then regained her former elegance and composure, a perfect smile appearing on her face.
Seeing that smile, Cheng Momo felt even more at ease. She knew that Yan Rui had feelings for him and would definitely help him.
"Yan Rui, I need your help with something. Could you please give me two minutes?"
