Chapter 39 He's definitely here to cause trouble.
Ruan Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then stood up.
He put on a nonchalant expression and walked towards the restroom.
The route happened to pass by Huo Yanzhi's table.
Gu Huai was enthusiastically praising his old classmate's outstanding resume when he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching out of the corner of his eye, but before he could get a good look at him, he noticed a figure walking towards him.
The next second, a foot stomped hard on his pair of custom-made leather shoes worth six figures.
"Awooo—!"
Gu Huai cried out in pain, leaning forward and his hand trembling involuntarily.
A full cup of hot coffee, freshly refilled, spilled precisely onto the front of his expensive pink suit.
A patch of dark brown, a mess, quickly spread out.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry." Ruan Sheng's voice rang out slowly, with a hint of undisguised schadenfreude, "I slipped and didn't see anyone here."
Gu Huai winced in pain, looked up, and met Ruan Sheng's face, which seemed to say, "I did it on purpose."
Those peach blossom eyes held blatant provocation and a hint of contemptuous laughter.
It's him!
That "other woman"!
Gu Huai's anger shot up to the top of his head in an instant!
This is no longer a covert competition; this is a blatant declaration of war!
Huo Yanzhi also raised his head; he recognized Ruan Sheng.
He frowned slightly, looking at Gu Huai's disheveled appearance, then glanced at Ruan Sheng, who had already turned around and was whistling as he walked out, and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing!" In front of his old classmate, Gu Huai could only grit his teeth and squeeze out two words.
As he frantically wiped the stains off his suit with tissues, he cursed Ruan Sheng a hundred times in his mind.
What a shameless mistress! Just you wait!

Ruan Yao felt that her brother had been acting very strangely lately.
Ever since she got her hands on the book "Dongshan Ji", Ruan Sheng seemed to have his meridians opened up, showing unprecedented enthusiasm for her and Huo Yanzhi's affairs.
"Sis, how's it going with Huo Yanzhi? Any real breakthroughs?"
"Tell me if there are any other women around Huo Yanzhi, and I'll go and see what's going on!"
"Go ahead and pursue it with confidence! I'm your strongest support now, fully committed to helping you overcome all obstacles and eliminate all evil spirits!"
Ruan Sheng patted his chest and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Ruan Yao was baffled by his sudden 180-degree change in attitude and could only conclude that he was just having a short-lived enthusiasm and was in a playful mood again, so she didn't investigate further.
Huo Jing has been extremely busy lately, and just at this time, the head office sent her an urgent task, forcing her to go on a business trip for two days.
Looking at the mountain of documents piled up on her desk, especially the final preparations for the opening of the new store, Huo Jing felt overwhelmed.
She rubbed her tight temples, tapped her fingers on the table, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.
The "assistant task" given to her by her brother and sister-in-law—isn't this a ready-made opportunity?
Huo Jing picked up the internal phone and called Ruan Yao directly.
"Ruan Yao, put your work aside for now. I have an even more important task for you."
Ruan Yao on the other end of the phone immediately agreed.
“Here’s the thing,” Huo Jing’s voice sounded as capable as ever, “The renovation of the new store in the South District is nearing completion. I have to go on a business trip unexpectedly, and I’m worried about leaving before I go. After you get off work tonight, could you go to the site for a final inspection and verification to make sure everything is perfect before the opening.”
This is nothing short of a weighty trust.
Ruan Yao's eyes lit up, and she immediately straightened her back.
"Yes, Director Huo, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
After seeing off the energetic Ruan Yao, Huo Jing leaned back in her chair and dialed another number.
"Yanzhi, that is me."
“Auntie.” Huo Yanzhi’s deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I have to go on a business trip unexpectedly. The new store in the South District needs someone to oversee the finishing touches tonight. Could you go and run that for me?” Huo Jing’s tone was natural. “I’ll feel more at ease if you go there in person to keep things in order.”
Huo Yanzhi remained silent for a moment.
"good."
In short, clean and efficient.
Huo Jing put down her phone, a triumphant smile curving her lips.
Perfect.
As evening fell, Ruan Sheng's flashy blue sports car pulled up right in front of the company building.
As soon as Ruan Yao got into the car, she saw her brother humming a little tune, looking extremely happy.
"Brother, did you find some money?"
"I'm happier than if I found money." Ruan Sheng stepped on the gas, and the sports car merged into the traffic. "That blind lunatic from before tried to steal my project this afternoon, but I shut him down. Doesn't he know who his brother is? He thinks he can compete with me?"
Ruan Yao couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.
"Yes, yes, my brother is the best."
"That's right." Ruan Sheng said smugly, then changed the subject and became serious. "By the way, what are you planning to wear to that family dinner you mentioned last time? I'll sponsor you a dress, I guarantee you'll outshine everyone else and outshine all those other girls!"
Ruan Yao was completely baffled.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to report to Director Huo, why would I dress so extravagantly?"
Ruan Sheng gave her a look of disappointment.
"What do you know! That's your future in-laws! This is a strategic move! We absolutely cannot lose in terms of momentum!"
The car quickly arrived at the commercial street where the new store in the South District is located.
This is a three-story detached building. The scaffolding on the exterior has just been removed, revealing a stylish glass curtain wall that gleams beautifully in the setting sun.
"Brother, you should go back first. I'll probably be staying quite late tonight." Ruan Yao unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Okay, call me if you need anything." Ruan Sheng waved his hand.
He watched Ruan Yao walk into the small building, feeling relaxed. Just as he was about to step on the gas and leave, he caught a glimpse of a familiar car slowly stopping not far away.
It is Huo Yanzhi's Bentley.
Ruan Sheng felt a surge of joy.
Hey, my sister is really lucky!
He slowed down the start of the car, intending to slip away quietly after Huo Yanzhi went inside, giving the two of them enough space to be alone.
However, the next second, the Bentley's passenger door opened.
A figure dressed in a light yellow suit stepped out of the car with an air of arrogance.
Ruan Sheng's smile froze instantly.
It's that madman!
Why is he here too?!
Ruan Sheng watched as Gu Huai walked around the front of the car and stood side by side with Huo Yanzhi, who had just gotten out of the car. The two seemed to say something to each other, and then walked together towards his sister's direction.
An uncontrollable surge of anger rushed to Ruan Sheng's head.
What is he doing here?
They're definitely here to cause trouble!
Trying to steal the deal?
Alarm bells rang in Ruan Sheng's mind.
What if his sister gets bullied by this crazy man while she's all alone inside?
What if he sabotages his sister in front of Huo Yanzhi?
no!
He absolutely cannot leave!
Ruan Sheng's face darkened, he turned off the engine, and abruptly pushed open the car door.
