Chapter 108
Chu Bingbing was so shocked that she was stunned for a moment, and then Lan Ruo skipped the topic.
She had eaten in the morning and had a snack at noon, so she was not hungry.
From the menu, we can tell that Mr. Lan opposite should have had lunch with Ayan Zhujue and the others.
Although Chu Bingbing was feeling mixed emotions, she did not show it on her face.
"I'm not too hungry, just order some dessert with tea," she said.
Lan Ruo readily agreed, and this game immediately turned into afternoon tea.
In one afternoon, the contract between the two parties was successfully reviewed and signed after being reviewed by the asset agent. Chu Bingbing also left her contact information with Lan Ruo.
She is now proficient in conducting some high-end SOCIAL events. Even if she makes any mistakes, she is just a young girl who has just reached adulthood. Her family is so rich that she doesn’t understand many things. Now she is just taking over some assets. Anyway, there are professionals to take care of everything. Isn’t this normal?
Chu Bingbing got into the agent's car, carrying her bag, her mind full of thoughts about how A Yan and the other knew Lan Ruo.
Although today's mission reward was successfully implemented and an ancient courtyard house in the capital Ningcheng became hers, Chu Bingbing didn't even have the interest to search on the browser at the moment.
I had known about this mission reward for a long time, but it had never been implemented, so I had to wait too long. In addition, I had not been there to see it in person, so there was no sense of surprise in the reward.
A Yan and Zhu Jue are from Ningcheng, Lan Ruo and the Xie family are well-established residents of Bincheng. How are they connected?
Savior?
Wait, that's not right!
Chu Bingbing suddenly thought of something. She still remembered that it was December last year, before the winter vacation. That time, A Yan and Zhu Jue went out to play, and when they came back, she shared the gossip about the Xie family with them.
At that time...Ayan seemed to have brought back a coat!
Did Ayan and the others go to see Lanruo that time?
Chu Bingbing recalled carefully that at that time, they ate some melons from the Xie family together in the dormitory, cursed the scumbag, and sympathized with Lan Ruo.
It has only been a few months since then. At that time, it was just entertainment news, but now it has become a direct legal case online! It also involves a criminal case!
The "lifesaver" that Lanruo mentioned really has a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Chu Bingbing's eyes froze.
The gossip she heard last night was still fresh in her mind, but in order to confirm the information that suddenly occurred to her mind, she quickly logged into her Weibo account to read the announcement on the Xie family case that was still on the hot search list.
Chu Bingbing first looked for the first police bulletin in January, and then read yesterday's announcement.
"Sure enough!!!" She was sure in her heart that Lan Ruo's husband, who was in the police station awaiting sentencing, was arrested in the capital Ningcheng! At that time, she was in Ningcheng, eating melons in the hotel!
Xie Zhen was arrested and the case was handled very quickly. Lan Ruo was fine and now holds great power. It can be said that the positions of both parties have been reversed.
Chu Bingbing immediately connected all the dots and she understood!
Although she didn't know whether Ayan and Lanruo had known each other for a long time or just met last year, it was obvious that Ayan and Zhu Jue helped Lanruo a lot!
When the head of a large group like the Xie family becomes a criminal suspect, the outside world is watching closely and the people inside are in panic.
Lan Ruo herself is innocent, but she used to be just a wealthy lady, and her family was not strong enough and was a drag.
As some online gossips say, Lan Ruo is a useless lady who has only beautiful looks but no ability or brains, and who disappeared in a panic after her family was put in jail. No one knows who she will remarry, and no one knows whether she will be left with some property after the Xie family's company is divided up, or will be forced to take on some debts.
But the reality is obviously the opposite of these speculations and gossips.
Chu Bingbing's eyes sparkled. Although she didn't believe in some of the rumors and gossip on the Internet, there was some truth in some of them.
Lan Ruo's family is a drag, and she herself has no help in the Xie family's company, so she probably doesn't have many shares.
This shopping mall is like a battlefield. Once the fight starts, it's a real scramble with lots of moves.
How could Lan Ruo suppress others? Why has the Xie family's company remained calm until now? There haven't even been any large-scale resignations or rumors in the company?
A light flashed in Chu Bingbing's eyes. She was afraid that this was the help given by A Yan and the others!
The consequences of the disintegration of the Xie family's huge group will be enormous, from the group's directors to the grassroots employees, and the livelihoods of many families behind them.
As for personal sins, the criminal cases involving Xie Zhen and others were not economic cases involving corporate crimes.
With Ah Yan and his team's background, they could probably easily suppress some of the restless people, help Lan Ruo and the Xie family's company to make a smooth transition, and protect jobs and the company from collapse.
As for the life-saving that Lan Ruo mentioned, I am afraid that on the one hand, as an innocent person, she was not constantly taken away for questioning, which was not good for the company's business; on the other hand, it was because she was not suddenly grabbed and divided by these jackals and tigers. Otherwise, no matter how talented she was, it would be difficult for her to support such a large company alone.
Of course, Ayan and the others might just be playing a role of bridge-building, Chu Bingbing guessed secretly.
She had seen city commercial banks go bankrupt and billion-dollar companies run into crisis before, and local officials would do their utmost to maintain operations and protect employment.
You know, the collapse of an upstream enterprise will have a devastating impact on downstream industries, and will have a huge impact on the economy, employment, and all aspects.
Especially in Bincheng, the Xie family's industry is so large that it involves all aspects. Once a collapse occurs, the losses to all parties will be immeasurable. Being able to make a smooth transition is naturally the best arrangement.
Yes, that's it!
And the way Lan Ruo was dressed today, it was obvious that she was going to take over the company. Who knows, there might be official support and help behind her.
By the way, Chu Bingbing remembers that there seems to be an international economic forum to be held in Bincheng recently, and high-level officials from many countries will come, □□ is inevitable.
I think Lan Ruo waited until the case was over, issued a notice yesterday, and came out today to handle things. She made an appointment with A Yan and the others, and signed a contract with herself.
Chu Bingbing couldn't help but sigh, this was really a coincidence.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered this big secret.
...
After Ayan and Zhu Jue left the revolving restaurant, they did not rush back to school.
Anyway, he has already come out today, and more importantly, Ah Yan needs to find a quiet place to talk to Jue Jue about his new roommate, Senior Sister He Xing.
Yesterday was the senior’s first day here. Ayan and Juejue didn’t meet, so she had a lot to say.
After having dinner with Lan Ruo, they went to a famous pedestrian street in Bincheng to digest their food. It was a weekend, and there were so many people...
The two held hands, avoiding the touts and the coming and going of people, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, they told each other a secret that only they knew.
"I feel there is a kind of power in senior sister." Ah Yan said softly.
Senior He Xing seemed to be very friendly on the surface, and they had only known each other for a day, but the way she looked at them felt a bit like an elder looking at a younger person.
Even though the senior didn't show anything, including having a smile on her face when she talked to them in the morning, Ah Yan always felt that this smile was not a smile that came straight from the bottom of her heart.
This is not to say that the senior sister is a "fake person" or that she is smiling fakely, but that she did smile. However, the happiness and joy were only faint, not reaching the bottom of her heart, but just floating on the surface.
Because in the senior sister's heart, there is something heavier and suffocating.
“It feels like a dormant volcano. On the surface, it’s a dead volcano, calm and quiet, but there are undercurrents surging inside, and you don’t know when it will erupt,” Ah Yan concluded.
"But we've only known each other for a day, so this should be her personal matter."
“I just don’t know if it will affect us.”
Zhu Jue nodded silently, "Is it related to the accident that happened to my senior sister? A sadistic story?"
Ah Yan touched his chin and said, "I think so."
“I don’t know who is more amazing than Brother Xiao in this medical miracle.” Zhu Jue’s thoughts suddenly changed.
Ah Yan laughed out loud, "I don't know. There's no specific information about Senior Sister's condition on the Internet. It's even more difficult to ask about such private matters when we're not even acquaintances anymore."
"Then we can only wait and see. Just like before, we have to take it one step at a time. We can't predict what will happen next." Zhu Jue said slowly.
As for the people with halo that they meet, their solution has always been to make the best of it, act cautiously, and wait and see how things develop.
"I'm just afraid..."
She hesitated for a moment, "If there is really something wrong with the accident, it also involves a criminal case. I am worried that the senior will solve the problem in her own way."

With such an aura, Ah Yan had no idea what skills and methods Senior Sister He Xing possessed.
Among all the people with haloes that Ah Yan and Jue Jue have met since childhood, some have holes in their brains, but the only one who might be involved in any grudges seems to be Lanruo Xie Zhen.
Other people with auras, such as her and her roommate Jue Jue, might also have them, but she just didn't know about them. After all, Ah Yan could only make judgments based on the auras she saw and the information she learned.
"There are a lot of foreigners." The two walked on the pedestrian street. There were many foreign faces carrying bags around them. They looked around, curious about everything around them, marveled at the 5D big screens in the surrounding shopping malls, and took pictures with their mobile phones.
"The country has relaxed the 144-hour visa policy, and there has been a summit forum in Bincheng recently, with more people than before," said Zhu Jue.
Whether it is their hometown Ningcheng or Bincheng today, these two megacities are the first choice for foreigners to come to summer. Ayan and Zhu Jue have also become accustomed to seeing foreigners since they were young.
However, the pedestrian street now has obviously too many foreigners. Ah Yan watched a hawker in front of him avoid the Chinese people and secretly took out a big-brand fake flyer and gave it to a foreigner.
"Eh? What's that promotion?" Ah Yan raised his head and looked at the promotion on a large screen in a shopping mall in front of him.
What appears on the high-definition screen at this moment is not an advertisement, but an extremely catchy classical dance of just a few dozen seconds.
At this moment, many pedestrians on the pedestrian street are focusing their attention on it.
"What a beautiful dance."
"So beautiful. What does the ancient poem say? As graceful as a startled bird, as graceful as a swimming dragon."
"This is not a song and dance, it's a ballet, there's no singing."
A Yan and Zhu Jue stopped at this time, and the dance clip of several dozen seconds ended, and the word "promotion" appeared at the end.

"Let me check the ticket price. Is it expensive?"
"So beautiful! These are the national team."
Ah Yan listened to other passers-by talking about something, some of whom were searching on their cell phones.
"I searched on Xiaohongshu. It's the Central Dance Theatre. It's really a national team. What do these A-card and B-card mean? It seems that there is a leading actress named Sister Si who is very good. There is also a Fu Yao. Is she a substitute? Or is it called B-card and C-card or something like that."
Ayanhe Juejue had already continued to move forward, but when she heard the names of the Central Dance Theatre and Fu Yao, her steps immediately stopped.
Fu Yao? Central Dance Theatre?
She and Juejue looked at each other, and Ayan took out her cell phone and started searching for information about the dance drama "Shen of Luo River".
The dance drama "Shen of Luo River" is a new play launched by the Central Dance Theater. It premiered in Ningcheng at the beginning of the year. It was performed more than ten times before and after the New Year. Today seems to be the last show in Ningcheng, and Bincheng is the first stop of the national tour of "Shen of Luo River".
On March 5th, which is Friday of the following week, and the two days of the weekend, the Waterfront Theatre has scheduled a total of three evening performances and two matinee performances.
Ah Yan found the name "Fu Yao" in the cast list of the dance drama "Shen of Luo River" in the encyclopedia. Clicking on the blue-marked name will take you to Fu Yao's Baidu encyclopedia.
Classical Gemini, twin flowers.
Yes, that’s right, it’s Fu Yao who might have had a dispute with Senior He Xing.
She is the B card for the starring role "Shen of Luo River"!
A Yan showed Jue his cell phone interface, and the two of them found a chain fruit tea shop to sit down. After placing the order, A Yan searched for Fu Yao's social account.
She saw Fu Yao's latest update on Weibo, which was a photo of her waving her hands after a performance, with the caption "Next stop, Bincheng! Yaoyao is back, fellow countrymen! [smiley face]"
"Senior He Xing will be discharged from the hospital and return to school this week, and Fu Yao, who is studying in Ningcheng, will return to Bincheng to perform next week." Ah Yan murmured.
"What a coincidence."
At this moment, the two of them had only one feeling in their hearts.
The storm is coming!
"Juejue, tell me, what would I do if there really was a dispute?" The two of them took some fruit tea and sat in a corner of the store whispering.
Ah Yan touched the warm fruit tea cup with both hands and thought, "For such a big show, if the senior sister wants to reveal something now, it may be deleted because not many people will see it."
"And it's easy to surprise the enemy." Zhu Jue said.
"Nothing will happen during the performance, right?" Thinking of this, Ah Yan became a little worried.
After all, I only knew Senior He Xing for one day, so it was impossible for me to understand her character.
You know, ballet is not a one-man show, especially such a large-scale ballet, with many actors starring different roles and performing in group dances.
There is no chance of any accident, but it is very easy to hurt innocent people!
"It's a headache. Everything is just guessing now. But if something really happens, it won't be in time to rescue." Ah Yan's little head was tilted on Jue Jue's shoulder. She let out a wail. It was really a headache.
Halo people, especially those who are not familiar with her, now have no idea about Senior He Xing's style of doing things.
They are not the kind of people who like to meddle in other people's business, but...it's better to be safe than sorry!
Their heads were touching, Zhu Jue held her hand tightly, and he said softly, "How about we ask Officer Zheng Yi?"
"Didn't Sister Lanruo say that she was in Bincheng? Let her pay attention to this matter."
Ah Yan pouted: "I thought so too. The problem is how to tell her that there might be a case and how to dig us out?"
Two ordinary college students suddenly contacted a policeman whom they had only met once or twice, saying that they had discovered an old case that might be problematic. Doesn't it seem a bit strange no matter how you look at it?
As she spoke, her phone switched to the WeChat interface with Police Officer Zheng Yi.
The chat history was still at the last time. Ah Yan looked at the "part-time job recruitment" sent by Officer Zheng Yi, and she looked at Jue Jue.
"How about I send her a message and ask about this part-time job? It feels like an informant or something."
"Be an informant first, then provide intelligence. That makes sense, right?"
