"There's nothing we can do. Who knew things would change so suddenly? That reformist came to power. Otherwise, the Rong father and son wouldn't have been able to turn things around. Now, it's our Xiang family that's in a weak position, and the Rong family is swaggering again."
"Hmph... I heard he got married?" The tall man suddenly remembered something.
Another person said, "He found a lifeline in the countryside. According to our people, they protected him several times. Qin Hongxing said he cared about that woman, but as soon as Rong Zhaonan had a chance to turn things around, he disappeared without a trace."
The tall man narrowed his eyes: "Hmph, what kind of Tai Sui is he? He's just trash, he uses women and then throws them away."
He paused, then suddenly tilted his head: "Wait... I remember the information said that the female educated youth went to Shanghai to study?"
Rong Zhaonan has suddenly reappeared in Shanghai. What is his connection with that woman?
Another person understood: "You mean... Rong Zhaonan has been secretly watching that female educated youth, and isn't as indifferent as we thought before?"
The tall man said coldly, "Think about it carefully. Rong is ruthless, but over the years, the people in his brigade have been loyal to him. The people we planted can't stay. Isn't that because he knows how to win people's hearts?"
The person behind him paused for a moment: "Using a woman and then throwing her away, that's really not like him."
Therefore, it seems more likely that Rong Zhaonan concealed the true nature of his marriage to prevent them from harming the female educated youth or using her against him!
Having figured this out, the tall man slowly smiled, his eyes crinkling into a dangerous grin: "Interesting. I suddenly want to see what Tai Sui's woman looks like."
Another man scoffed: "What's so interesting about a country girl? If you want to mess with her, just have someone do it."
The tall man lazily lit a cigarette: "I'm just curious what kind of woman Rong Taisui would want to sleep with. Back then, with that woman-like face and that flirtatious manner in the compound, even Xiao Wu insisted on marrying him. He was so arrogant."
Another man sneered: "You still hold a grudge against Ye Qiu for having a past with him? Ye Qiu has been dead for so many years, and you've had several women since then."
The tall man said coldly, "Neither Ye Qiu nor our Xiao Si will die in vain. The Ye family may let him go without a second thought, but I cannot!"
The hatred between him and Rong Zhaonan was not only due to the death of his younger brother, but also because of the loss of his wife!
Another man lit a cigarette and said, "Things are different now. Be careful. Our old man's position in his workplace is awkward. He has a big name, but he holds a nominal position. He can't compare to Rong Laogou, who has real power."
He paused for a moment: "Some time ago, our family was tricked again. Two elders were imprisoned, and we couldn't get involved in some important matters."
The tall man exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes dark and brooding: "That's Rong Zhaonan putting on a show of defiance."
Last year, I don't know why that bastard Rong Zhaonan went crazy and caused them heavy losses!
Another man said, "He Su has been very quiet and well-behaved lately, just trying to get information out of Rong Xiangdong, but we haven't been able to find out anything."
The tall man sneered: "That's a vixen. She wants to rely on Rong Laogou to secure her lifelong wealth and status. Even when she leaks information to us, she's slippery and doesn't get involved in anything, so no one can find any fault with her."
Otherwise, he would have used He Su's matter to annoy the old man of the Rong family.
Another man scoffed, "With a stepmother comes a stepfather. This gives us an opportunity. If you want to go to Shanghai, I'll book your plane ticket, but remember to keep it clean."
The tall man chuckled, his eyes dark and menacing: "Don't worry."
...
After Ning Yuan was appointed as a "project consultant" by Uncle Qiao, Ning Bingyu seemed to dislike her.
Every day, he would have a cold face as his assistant Ye threw him a bunch of business management materials, and there would be an assessment every three days.
She also had to be able to understand basic English original business management books within two months.
Otherwise, don't expect him to involve her in the department store renovation project and other related training.
Ning Yuan thought about it and agreed, becoming a "college entrance exam candidate" again to begin special training, while also balancing her studies and her shop.
I sleep less than six hours a day.
Ning Yuan has an extra room at the Jinjiang Hotel.
Madam Ning brought in the soup, and seeing the dark circles under Ning Yuan's eyes, she glared at Ning Bingyu with heartache—
“You’ve been speaking and learning English since you were little, and you went to Harrow School in England for secondary school. Ningning is different from you. Don’t make things difficult for your little sister.”
While directing people to pack their luggage, Ning Bingyu said emotionlessly—
"Mommy, if she doesn't want to, that's fine. There are many kinds of consultants, even nominal consultants are fine. When I go back to the Hong Kong government this time, I can print out all sorts of blank title business cards for her. Do you want them?"
Ning Yuan sipped the black chicken and Solomon's seal soup cooked by Madam Ning, and looked at Ning Bingyu coolly: "Mom, don't pay any attention to him. As long as this is mainland territory, he can't undermine me!"
Now, considering that she can learn something from him, she's giving Ning Bingyu some leeway.
If things really get too out of hand and she's pushed too far, she'll go to Uncle Qiao and complain, and make things difficult for him!
Madam Ning stared at her blankly, and asked softly in disbelief, "Ningning, what did you just call me?"
Is it not her hallucination?
Ning Yuan was taken aback, only then realizing that the word she had just blurted out was "Mom".
She froze for a moment, then lowered her head to drink her soup somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing this, Ning Bingyu glanced at Assistant Ye indifferently, then walked out of the room.
Assistant Ye immediately told the other assistants to stop tidying up and to leave the room.
Inside the room, Madam Ning, suppressing her excitement, sat down, took Ning Yuan's hand, and held back her tears: "It's alright, it's alright, it's fine if you don't call me. I... I'm already very happy. Let's have some soup, let's have some soup."
Ning Yuan had just blurted out "Mom," and she was already very happy!
At least her youngest daughter has started to slowly accept her!
Ning Yuan looked at Madam Ning Er, who was turning her head away and forcing a smile while holding back her tears. Her heart softened, and a bittersweet feeling spread through her.
This mother is someone who cares about her own joys and sorrows, unlike Ning Jinyun...
She first tried it in her mind, then hesitated before speaking, "Mom..."
Madam Ning was completely stunned. Suddenly, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and hugged her tightly, sobbing as she whispered, "Oh—my dear girl! My dear girl..."
She finally found her youngest daughter, and her heart was found too!
Ning Yuan felt as if she were being called by the same way the other woman was hugging a little girl, and her eyes welled up with tears. She buried her face in the other woman's chest and whispered silently—
Mother……
Mother……
You didn't abandon me... I have a biological mother now...
...
Outside the door, Ning Bingyu lit a cigarette, his expression somewhat complicated.
The girl with the char siu was quite good at being sentimental, making him seem somewhat guilty.
Well, as long as Char Siu Girl can make Mommy happy...
He reluctantly accepted that she was a member of the Ning family.
