Su Jin was happy that Ruan Yunhan would stop hanging around him and picking fights all the time.
To be honest, he was tired of his current life with Ruan Yunhan.
He, as the CEO, controls most of the Ruan Group; Ruan Yunhan's business acumen is truly lacking.
They have the desire to be in charge, but lack the corresponding ability.
If Su Jin were to break up with her one day, he could take away most of the Ruan family's current wealth.
But family is Su Jin's Achilles' heel.
He looked at his two beautiful and lovely daughters, and then at Ruan Yunhan, whose beauty had faded from bearing his children, and couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to her.
“Okay, you take care of the little girl,” Su Jin said to her back. “I’ll go pack your luggage. We’re leaving tomorrow.”
-------------------------------------
Ruan Chen was having dinner with Bai Jiaojiao and a few others at a restaurant run by local Lingzu people when she went outside to answer a phone call.
“Yunhan’s flight is tomorrow, to the Northern Islands,” Su Jin’s voice was weary. “I’m sorry to have troubled you again.”
Ruan Chen heard a woman's hysterical screams and the sound of things being smashed coming from Su Jin's direction.
What's gotten into her this time?
“I just told her to come and take care of the little girl for a while, and I’ll go arrange her schedule and pack her luggage,” Su Jin sighed. “She started getting angry over just that one sentence. First, she said I didn’t call a nanny to take care of her, that I just couldn’t bear to see her rest; then she said it was wrong of me to agree to her right away, that I was just fed up with her and wanted her to leave… Forget it, it’s all just trivial stuff.”
Ruan Chen originally wanted to say something sarcastic to Su Jin, "Mr. Su is quite adept at using the tactic of shifting blame," but upon hearing Su Jin's tone, she silently swallowed her words.
"She's after your new company, so be careful. Don't give her any face... but don't provoke her too much either. Just think of it for the sake of the two children."
Su Jin knew Ruan Chen's personality. Don't be fooled by her seemingly good-natured and easy-going appearance; she's just a silent dog that bites.
If Ruan Yunhan really crosses Ruan Chen's bottom line in the Northern Islands, Ruan Chen can truly keep her there forever.
Ruan Chen thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm saying, your house is in chaos every day, haven't you ever thought about taking her to get her brain checked?"
Su Jin smiled wryly and hung up the phone.
Ruan Chen thought that Ruan Yunhan would come to cause trouble for him the day after she landed, but to his surprise, Ruan Yunhan didn't make a move for three or four days.
Bai Jiaojiao and Song Cheng, one in charge of design and the other in charge of research and development, have already started recruiting and working with Yan Qian's assistance. Mu Xiangrong's whereabouts are mysterious; he was sitting in the conference room one second and disappeared the next, and his phone is unreachable.
The nature of the work is special, everyone understands, and they tacitly refrain from asking any questions.
Ruan Chen and the experts sent by the China Academy of Sciences were verifying the band data at the base when Yan Qian reminded them that it was already dinner time.
There was no cell phone signal inside the base, and after Ruan Chen came out, her phone kept ringing for a long time before it stopped.
Fu Jianzhi: [Sister, I had a few dresses sent to you. If you don't like them, just throw them away. I'm fine.]
Ruan Group's overseas staff: [Second Miss, the Eldest Miss has arrived. Mr. Su instructed us to take good care of you.]
Bai Jiaojiao: [Ruan Chen, we're heading out now. See you at the venue later.]
Lin Fengzi: [Ruan Yunhan is probably here for you. It's not convenient for me to participate in this kind of situation. Be careful.]
Chu Xun: [Sister, is the Holy Maiden with you?]
......
Ruan Chen scrolled directly to the bottom and saw an electronic invitation to a charity reception sent by the China Chamber of Commerce.
Led by Nguyen Van Han, Chairman of the Nguyen Group, many groups based in the Northern Islands will send representatives tonight.
No wonder there have been so many planes taking off and landing at the airport these past few days; it seems quite a few people have come all the way from China to accept Ruan Yunhan's invitation.
In the latest round of asset valuation, the Ruan Group ranked second, with the Yu family in first place, while the Fu Group actually fell out of the top three.
For the past six months, Ruan Yunhan has been semi-retired due to childbirth. Now, she is holding a charity gala in the Northern Islands in a grand manner, and many people who want to build good relations with the Ruan Group have traveled a long distance to attend.
Yan Qian also received an invitation, waved her phone, and said, "You're here for you, aren't you?"
"I came here because of Lingtian Culture," Ruan Chen said, rubbing his slightly sore eyes and stretching.
"Are you going or not?"
“Sure, we can have dinner then,” Ruan Chen shrugged and asked, “Together?”
After Ruan Chen and Yan Qian went inside, they found a corner to sit down and started attacking the buffet table.
Around 11 a.m. this morning, Ruan Chen was reviewing documents at Lingtian's temporary office and discussing employee training with Yan Qian when the base called to say there had been significant progress—they had found the band data for the shielding cover and asked Ruan Chen to come over.
Ruan Chen and Yan Qian thus perfectly missed lunch and dinner; mental exercise does burn calories. Both of them were quite hungry at the moment.
The two couldn't wait for the waiters, so they found their own plates and piled them up with oysters, scallops, lobster, pasta, and desserts. They sat down and began to eat in silence.
My hands were shaking from hunger.
Yan Qian casually took two glasses of juice from a passing waiter, one for each of them. The two of them didn't care about manners and just wanted to fill their stomachs first.
Ruan Chen was enjoying her meal when the lively discussion around her suddenly quieted down. The crowd parted to make way for the two people sitting in the corner.
Ruan Chen didn't even look up, continuing to put pasta in her mouth. Yan Qian also seemed oblivious, grabbing a piece of cake and stuffing it into her mouth.
"Whose family are these two? How did they get in here?"
"My God, what kind of clothes are they wearing? How did security let these people in?"
"The people of the Northern Islands are indeed all peasants. This must be a local."
"How can a girl eat so much? I couldn't finish this much food in three days."
"Eating pasta with chopsticks? Eating cake with your hands? That's incredibly uncivilized!"
Yan Qian swallowed the cake in her mouth and muttered under her breath, "What kind of idiots are they?"
"What normal people could Ruan Yunhan have invited? Just get used to it."
Ruan Chen barely finished eating, then picked up her juice and sipped it before finally standing up, allowing everyone to see her face clearly. She then smiled and said to Ruan Yunhan, who was walking out of the crowd, "Thank you for the treat."
