Chapter 107

Ah Yan hooked Rue Rue's palm, and felt his palm getting hotter.

She looked up proudly like a little swan, with a blush on her cheeks.

The two of them walked out hand in hand, and for a moment, Ah Yan was a little confused.

She looked at Juejue, and Juejue looked at her, and they both laughed for no apparent reason.

Some Binhai University alumni who were rushing back to school that morning met a young couple in grey coats on the road. The boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful. They walked hand in hand and swinging their arms like little kids, looking like a pair of happy children.

Considering that there were still a lot of people returning to school today and this was the last day of the weekend, the traffic on the road would definitely be very congested. Ah Yan and Zhu Jue first took the subway, then got out of the station and got into the car that Lan Ruo sent to pick them up.

The meeting place with Lanruo was a high-rise revolving restaurant in Bincheng. Ayan and Zhujue were led by the waiter to take the special elevator upstairs. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw Lanruo who took the initiative to greet them.

After more than a month, Lanruo's mental outlook seemed to have changed a lot.

When they first met, Ah Yan was slightly stunned.

Lan Ruo was wearing a camel-colored short suit jacket and matching trousers, and her figure was tall and straight.

The originally smooth black hair has now been cut short, slightly past the shoulders and parted on the side.

Apart from the frameless glasses on her nose and the watch on her left wrist, she had no other accessories on her body, which was shockingly simple.

The person is still the same person, the face is still the same face, the golden halo above Lanruo's head is no longer there, but the whole person's temperament has changed slightly.

Compared to the typical wealthy ladies whom Ah Yan had seen before and on the Internet, whose elegant attire was exquisite down to every strand of hair, Lan Ruo now looked low-key and calm.

If you are not an acquaintance, you would not recognize that this is Lan Ruo at first sight.

"We haven't seen each other for a month. Are you surprised to see you cut your hair?" Lan Ruo noticed their looks and smiled.

"I was a little surprised." said A Yan.

It is said that the three greatest joys in life are promotion, wealth and death of husband. Although Lan Ruo's idiot husband is not dead yet, she is obviously in good spirits.

As they were led into the restaurant, Ayan and Zhu Jue discovered that the place seemed to be reserved. There were only three guests in the huge rotating restaurant, so they naturally sat in the best seats.

"I have so many things to do these days. I am busy every day. It is also very troublesome to take care of my hair. So I just cut it all at once."

"What's that saying? Cut off the three thousand threads of worries." Lan Ruo said.

"After cutting my hair, I suddenly felt less burdened and I could let go of many things."

Lanruo looked relaxed, and Ah Yan thought that the "tired person" she was talking about might be Xie Zhen.

"Change to a new style and a new look. Now you look more energetic." A Yan said.

"Yes, a new look and a new atmosphere."

"I saw Miss Yan's circle of friends yesterday, and thought that you guys had returned to Ningcheng, and the police matter was almost over. We had also met with Miss Ding Ling, so I wanted to meet with you two again and have a chat."

Lan Ruo said as she looked at the young couple in front of her.

Before this, she had contacted Miss Ding Ling and learned that the mysterious little couple had returned to Bincheng to attend school, so Lan Ruo began to prepare.

She still had no idea what gift to give or how to thank the two of them.

She could have just given a gift worth several figures, but that would be expensive in price, and the other party might not like it. Also, it would seem like she was forcibly using an expensive gift to offset the favor.

Miss Ding Ling said that her meeting with the two in the temple was both accidental and destiny. The "cause" at the time triggered this series of events, and yesterday, another "result" was settled. She should have taken the initiative to meet with Miss Yan and achieve the "result" between them.

Miss Ding Ling's words are often mysterious, but Lan Ruo's logical thinking is not bad. Moreover, when it comes to such metaphysical matters, she chooses to listen directly to the opinions of professionals.

Until now, Lan Ruo still shudders when she thinks of what happened to Brother Xie.

Some time ago, with the help of Miss Ding Ling, she went to that special place to meet her eldest brother.

Brother Xie Jin couldn't speak, so their communication depended on Miss Ding Ling's help.

Thanks to Miss Ding Ling, the eldest brother gave her an unexpected help after knowing the current situation. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to firmly hold the current position of director with absolute equity advantage for the time being.

According to Miss Ding Ling, it will be a long journey for Big Brother to recover as a normal "ghost", so all they can do is wait.

And until the eldest brother can truly recover and communicate with others in his ghost form, the company needs her to be in charge.

During the time when the Xie family was taken away, Lan Ruo was even somewhat thankful that it was during the Chinese New Year. The group had a unified one-year holiday, as did all upstream and downstream partners, which gave her more time to familiarize herself with the business and her work.

Of course, the people I should be most grateful to are the two people in front of me.

If it weren't for Miss Ding Ling's previous hint, coupled with Lan Ruo's sudden realization in the past few days, she would never have imagined that there was another deeper meaning behind Miss Yan and the others suppressing her for a month.

"I don't know what you like to eat. This restaurant is owned by a company. We have Chinese and Western chefs. You can order whatever you want."

Lan Ruo handed the gilded menu to the two people. Ah Yan took a look and felt that the menu was brand new and obviously newly made.

"We are both very easy to feed and eat everything," she said.

Lan Ruo smiled lightly as she looked at the two of them. They were clearly people with a mysterious background, but when she looked at the two young people, she always felt as if she was looking at the neighbors' younger brothers and sisters. There was no sense of distance between them.

This is what is called "returning to simplicity" and "returning to one's original nature".

The waiter of the restaurant appeared silently, and disappeared after confirming the order. Ah Yan felt that he did not even hear the footsteps. There were only three of them left in the huge restaurant.

She looked out the window. The view here was excellent. She could see the Binjiang River and the surrounding panoramic view at a glance. High-rise buildings were lined up one after another, and the CBD area was extremely obvious. The Xie family's building was one of them.

"I met Police Officer Zheng Yi yesterday." Lan Ruo said.

The two people looked at Lan Ruo at the same time, "Officer Zheng Yi?"

Ah Yan was very surprised, "She came to Bincheng?"

According to what Ah Yan learned from Ding Ling, the old case team that Officer Zheng Yi belongs to seems to be directly under the GA Department, which should be in the capital.

Speaking of acquaintances, Lan Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, I came here yesterday to finish some work with another group."

"The investigation of the case has been completed, but I don't want to ask about the officer's schedule." Lan Ruo didn't know what Officer Zheng Yi would do next.

"Compared to the scene of our first meeting, meeting Officer Zheng Yi again yesterday gave me a very different feeling," she said with a smile.

"Are you coming from the company today just to see us?" Ah Yan asked, looking at Lan Ruo's obvious work suit.

"As soon as the announcement came out yesterday, even though the company was on holiday, I still couldn't have any peace and quiet, so I came out to take some time off and deal with some things at the same time." Lan Ruo said.

A Yan looked at her and nodded, holding his face and looking at Lan Ruo.

"You are just like the urban strong woman I dream of becoming."

Lan Ruo was amused by her, "I'm not a strong woman."

"But..." She took a sip of tea.

"I am indeed learning how to be a qualified leader." Lan Ruo looked straight at the two of them.

There was one more thing she didn't say in her heart, "I hope I won't let you down."

While she was constantly improving her work these days, Lan Ruo suddenly understood the other meaning of the more than one month when she exchanged bodies with Xie Zhen.

Why did they change it back the day Officer Zheng Yi showed up? Why did they keep it under wraps for so many years?

During that month, she appeared as Xie Zhen and bought luxury houses at auctions, which not only brought many material benefits to "Lanruo", but more importantly, she became familiar with the group's various businesses.

Signing, meetings, business talks, handling documents, and dinners as a group, Lan Ruo quickly mastered Xie Zhen's work, trained her sense of smell and made judgments from various news information...

So during the time when Xie's family was taken away, although countless people were waiting to see the excitement in the company, Lan Ruo went to work in the company as usual every day and worked overtime at night. She managed to suppress the somewhat panicked emotions of the company's employees, and everything continued to operate as usual.

In fact, during this period, the company's employees have become accustomed to seeing her downstairs in the morning and calling out "Good morning, Director Lan" or "Good morning, President Lan."

Mr. Lan, President Lan, these two titles sound much more pleasant than the previous Mrs. Xie.

Because the previous case was still under investigation, her parents and brothers publicly announced that they would cut off ties with her. Lan Ruo wished for nothing less and directly cut off cooperation with the Lan family after taking over the company's business.

The Lan family is referring to the downstream partners that the company gives orders to. Now that the relationship has been severed, it should be severed cleanly.

As soon as the announcement came out yesterday, all that was left was for the court to file a prosecution. Not only in Bincheng, countless people were waiting to see the Xie family become a laughing stock, waiting for the company to fall apart and become a pack of wolves and tigers.

Lan Ruo didn't have much affection for the Xie family, but considering the shares she was about to receive, and the shares and assets that Xie's father would transfer to her under the influence of her eldest brother, if the company collapsed, all that would be lost would be her money! Her assets!

She couldn't afford to lose her money. Even if the market value was reduced, it would still be much more than the money she had slowly saved for her house and car.

She chatted with her lover in a relaxed tone, talking about her embarrassing moments at work and the changes she was going to slowly make to the company. The meal was finished unknowingly, but Lanruo didn't eat much, just a quick taste.

"If you two have any problems in the future, Lanruo will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." She walked the two of them to the elevator and smiled as she said this.

"This sounds like something from a TV drama, but I mean it." Lan Ruo said seriously.

To her, her lover was truly a great benefactor, and she could never repay him. A single word of thanks was too shallow, and it was impossible to express it fully.

...

Chu Bingbing was accompanied by her asset agent in a special car to the meeting place. She took the special security elevator upstairs and looked very calm.

She is no longer the same person she used to be. She has been pretending to be so much more powerful, her threshold has been raised, and she has gradually gotten used to it.

But what she never expected was that the seller who was going to sign a contract with her to transfer the courtyard house real estate today was actually the person she had gossiped about yesterday!

"Hello, Miss Chu, I'm Lan Ruo."

Chu Bingbing was stunned for a moment. She pretended to be calm and shook hands with the other party.

As my mind raced, I suddenly understood why the process for rewarding the consumption task during the New Year was so complicated and had been delayed until now.

It turned out to be this family's courtyard! This is unbelievable! Lan Ruo's ex-husband is still in the police station waiting for sentencing. How can the procedure not be slow!

She looked at this upscale private restaurant, where there were absolutely no outsiders.

While waiting for the waiter to bring the menu, Chu Bingbing saw Lan Ruo suddenly clapped her hands.

"Is this the menu used by the two distinguished guests?" Lan Ruo asked.

"Yes, Mr. Lan, what do you mean...?"

"Change a new one for Miss Chu, and give me these two."

Chu Bingbing was a little confused. Was it to show respect to herself? Although she thought that the menu looked new, she didn't say it out loud.

"These two menus are for specific people." Lan Ruo took out a pen from his suit pocket.

"Miss Chu, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy today. I'll just take note of the names of the two friends who came earlier." Lan Ruo smiled apologetically.

Chu Bingbing only saw her writing with sharp strokes as she wrote down two names that she was very familiar with on the two menus.

Chu Bingbing:!!!

Pupils tremble violently.jpg!

What's going on? Damn, aren't Yan and the others out on a date? Are they having dinner with this hot topic?

"It's okay, this must be your good friend." Chu Bingbing said softly.

Lan Ruo had already written down two names and handed the menu to the waiter. "Put it away separately."

Listening to Chu Bingbing's question, she seemed to be joking, "Yes, this is my lifesaver."

Chu Bingbing:!

Did she hear some big secret? !

Ah Yan! What did you do behind our backs?
