Ruan Chen wasn't angry—after all, she had insurance, so the loss wouldn't be significant.
She was just wondering, was Ruan Yunhan really that stupid?
The incident that happened on Figuland Street this afternoon was filmed and posted online, and rumors are already circulating. If Ruan Yunhan were to cause trouble and vandalize the shop at this time, wouldn't she be asking for trouble for herself?
Ruan Chen's fingers gently stroked her neck, sliding down the black leather cord until she pulled out a moon-white pendant.
She gently stroked the blood skull emblem with her fingertips.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was gradually turning sour.
At first, Ruan Yunhan only tentatively looked through the data that Lin Fengzi had compiled for her. After realizing that Lin Fengzi trusted her, she became bolder and directly asked questions about the data, even taking out her phone to take pictures.
Lin Fengzi and the others exchanged glances, but no one stopped them.
Ruan Yunhan discovered that Lin Fengzi was indeed very easygoing, but she didn't know why Su Jin had repeatedly told her to be careful about her words and actions in front of Lin Fengzi.
So she casually asked, "Brother Lin, what does your family do in China? Su Jin told me your parents are very capable."
The hint of coquetry was very obvious.
Mu Xiangrong rubbed the goosebumps on the back of his hands again.
Lin Fengzi pretended not to hear those words and looked at Ruan Yunhan expectantly, changing her address to "Team Leader Ruan" and asking, "Team Leader Ruan, where do you think our model is going wrong?"
Ruan Yunhan couldn't answer at all.
She could roughly tell that there was indeed a lot of room for improvement in some parts of Lin Fengzi's drawings, but she wasn't kind enough to give pointers to her competitor, especially since she had spent most of her time plagiarizing the data from Lin Fengzi's group's final section.
"If you don't mind, I'll take your data back and show it to my team members?" Ruan Yunhan made an even more outrageous request. She casually pointed to a few places and used a bunch of vague and ambiguous terms to try to fool Lin Fengzi and the others. "Time is short, and there are more people in our team, so perhaps they have more appropriate opinions than I do."
Lin Fengzi seemed to agree that the request was a bit excessive, and hesitated, looking at her group members, "What do you guys think? I think Yunhan's ideas are much more mature than ours, so maybe..."
Ruan Yunhan went even further, actually grabbing Lin Fengzi's arm and shaking it, saying, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"
Mu Xiangrong seemed very uneasy. "Team leader, we're not familiar with Miss Ruan's team. I suggest the two teams sit down and discuss it together."
She was actually just trying to prevent Ruan Yunhan from getting the data so easily.
A little trouble would prevent Ruan Yunhan from becoming suspicious.
Having collaborated for so long, Song Cheng immediately understood Mu Xiangrong's meaning and chimed in, "Yes, Miss Ruan, why don't the two groups sit down and discuss it together? A brainstorming session might be more efficient. These things are something we've worked hard on, and suddenly handing them over to someone else..."
Ruan Yunhan naturally wouldn't allow her team members to meet with them, otherwise everything would be exposed.
She put down the documents in her hand and sighed, "To be honest, our group is also very busy. It's already a favor that my team members took time out of their busy schedules to help your group look at the data. We really don't have the extra time to call our team over and waste half a day or even more of our time on your matter. If you have any doubts, just let it go. After all, our group can solve its own problems."
At this point, she pushed over the materials provided by Lin Fengzi's group, picked up her bag, and walked arrogantly towards the door.
"Hey, Team Leader Ruan!" Lin Fengzi caught up with her and stopped her, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Ruan, let's discuss it again."
"There's nothing more to discuss."
Ruan Yunhan's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change: "I'm sorry I can't stay any longer because of limited energy, but I'm still looking forward to your group's wonderful performance in the finals."
She forcefully shook off Lin Fengzi's hand and walked towards the door.
When she was just one step away from leaving the conference room, none of the people behind her stopped her anymore.
Ruan Yunhan's palms were sweating.
Did I go too far with this tactic today? Is the other side not buying it?
Or what if I take the initiative to turn around and show that I've changed my mind? I wonder what would happen?
"Team Leader Ruan!" Lin Fengzi finally called out.
Ruan Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed impatience as she turned around.
Lin Fengzi, with her long legs, caught up in a few strides, handed over the documents in her hand, and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, we were overthinking things just now."
Ruan Yunhan ignored him for a full half minute before reluctantly taking the documents. Her expression softened slightly, but her tone was still somewhat dissatisfied. "Brother Lin, I'll help you out of respect for you. If you have any ideas or solutions, I'll let you know immediately."
Lin Fengzi said gratefully, "That's really hard work for Team Leader Ruan."
Ruan Yunhan took the materials and, as soon as she stepped out the door, eagerly opened them, quickly thinking about how to seamlessly incorporate Lin Fengzi and the others' final model and data into her own design.
She was so engrossed in what she was watching that she didn't notice a girl carrying a coffee walking towards her from around the corner, and the two bumped into each other.
Fortunately, Bai Jiaojiao reacted quickly, and only a few drops of coffee spilled, splashing onto Bai Jiaojiao's cute Lolita dress and the documents in Ruan Yunhan's arms.
Unfortunately, it blocked the line of formula that Ruan Yunhan was looking at.
Bai Jiaojiao quickly apologized—she didn't know Ruan Yunhan, but she noticed that the documents in the other person's hand were competition materials, so she naturally assumed that the other person was a classmate participating in the competition.
Since they were all the same age and there was someone else to participate in the competition, Bai Jiaojiao was very gentle and polite. She took out a tissue from her bag and helped Ruan Yunhan wipe her face. "It's a little dirty, but you can still see clearly. Is it alright?"
Actually, the fault wasn't entirely Bai Jiaojiao's; it was Ruan Yunhan who walked without looking up and was practically jogging the whole way.
When Ruan Yunhan saw that the documents she had painstakingly obtained through a combination of coaxing and deception were now dirty, her spoiled and domineering temper erupted. She coldly scrutinized Bai Jiaojiao's attire and said, "How can it not be a problem? Don't you watch where you're going? Do you know what I'm holding? If you break it, can you afford to pay for it?"
Bai Jiaojiao was baffled. It was just competition materials. A little dirt wouldn't hurt. Besides, it wasn't like she was walking without looking where she was going. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have spilled the whole cup of coffee.
Ruan Yunhan glanced disdainfully at the cheap canvas tote bag Bai Jiaojiao had bought from the street stall.
And this childish outfit, the whole set probably wouldn't cost more than 500 yuan.
Her face is quite cute, but her voice is so soft and affected that it's nauseating. Who is she trying to listen to with that high-pitched voice?
This hotel is ranked among the top five in the US. Someone dressed like this, dressed in such a poor manner, is probably here as a plaything for men.
Thinking of this, Ruan Yunhan felt even more irritated and disgusted, and slapped him across the face.
Bai Jiaojiao was stunned by the slap. She covered her face and stood there, tears welling up in her eyes, at a loss for what to do.
"Get lost, I feel disgusted just looking at people like you."
