Chapter 9 (1)
The short holiday hasn't ended yet, and Yu Rui has had two headaches.
Huang Qi and Yu Qi were together. It was Huang Qi who announced it. Yu Rui immediately scolded him. Basically, she was like, "How come I just found you a role, and you've already got my sister? Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows!"
Huang Qi swore to the sky, "We truly love each other!"
Yu Rui was amused. How old was he? Still a pure young boy? Had he never been in love before? Was he really going to use her sister as a test? She thought she knew Huang Qi—it was no use asking my sister; she couldn't help you find a way. After scolding Huang Qi, she went back to her rest work.
Honestly, Yu Rui had been full of confidence in her younger sister. Such a beautiful younger sister, in a big city, would be an asset whose value could skyrocket at any moment. How could she so easily invest it in Huang Qi? Besides, Yu Qi didn't understand, so how could Huang Qi not understand? How could he talk to his sister and then to his younger sister? Did he think he was Emperor Minghuang of Tang, that he could find Yang Guifei and then Lady Guoguo? Yu Rui was furious. However, when her younger sister and Huang Qi came to her, "carrying a thorny stick to apologize," almost wanting to kneel at her feet, Yu Rui softened her heart again. Maybe they really did love each other? Maybe Huang Qi had figured it out? The matter was done, and there were no tears to cry. Let's just leave it at that for now. After all, Huang Qi knew everything.
Yu Rui had no choice but to give her sister a warning, "He's an actor. If you date an actor, you're setting a time bomb for yourself!"
Yu Qi said cheerfully, "It's okay, I just like young people." It sounded a bit like irony.
That night, Yu Rui had a martial arts dream. Only then did she realize that Yu Qi and Huang Qi were together, each with their own agenda. She had recently been helping Yu Qi find boyfriends, all of them mature and successful men. Yu Qi's move to Huang Qi was a quick fix to put his older sister off the hook. Huang Qi, on the other hand, was even more prepared. With Yu Qi, he became her brother-in-law, and finding a brother-in-law to introduce him to her made things much easier.
At first, Yu Rui couldn't understand it. She thought if he wanted a way out, why not just get back together with her? Later, she understood that, firstly, Huang Qi didn't have the confidence to make her fall in love with him again, and secondly, she, Yu Rui, still had to stay in touch with the old man.
The second headache was caused by Ye Cha. Ye Cha's extremely teasing tone echoed in the phone receiver, "Can you give us advance notice next time? Don't touch the cards with your hands on the table and kick people with your feet under the table!"
Before Yu Rui could explain, the phone was hung up.
During the long holiday, Ye Cha was arrested and Yu Rui returned to her position as Han Dong's first assistant. Needless to say, Ye Cha must have believed that she had used her "charm" to regain his favor.
Unfair!
Therefore, when the working day came, Yu Rui went to work with the "blame" on her back and her face was not looking good.
During lunch break, Han Guang asked Yu Rui to come to him. Yu Rui walked into his office with a worried look on her face.
After explaining everything, Han Guang crossed his arms and asked, "Why, you don't obey the organization's arrangements?"
The speech has a bit of official flavor.
"Mr. Han, is there anything else?" Yu Rui had the dignity of an assistant.
"The one from last time, the little actor, your boyfriend?"
"no."
"It's a bit like Wang Kai."
"Boss Han, it's okay. I have to go to work."
"Are you girls all obsessed with this type?"
"Boss Han—" Yu Rui said impatiently. At this moment, she had to put herself on the same level as Han Guangping. Because he wasn't talking about work, he was repeatedly digging into her private life.
"to be honest."
"I'm telling the truth."
"Is he your boyfriend?" He won't give up until he gets an answer.
"no."
"It shouldn't be."
"I used to be," Yu Rui confessed. She knew there was no point in lying to someone like Han Guang.
"Very good." He smiled, changed his sitting position, and said, "Now I'm your sister's boyfriend."
What? He knows all this! It just happened! Yu Rui felt a tinge of fear. He was watching her? With cameras? Or maybe a bug? This guy is a demon! Yu Rui's body tensed up, like a shrimp sensing danger, ready to spring back at any moment.
"A pair of sisters, both falling in love with the same man, this kind of story, I have the most authority to speak on," Han Guang said. "Don't be nervous, no one is watching you. It was Xiao Huang who said it herself, and the producer just mentioned it to me."
Yu Rui relaxed a little, but still felt uncomfortable.
"I request to be demoted," said Yu Rui.
"Why?"
"I'm not qualified for this job. Ye Cha is more suitable."
Han Guang leaned back and said, "If I say you can do it, then you can do it."
Walking out of Han Guang's office, Yu Rui felt goosebumps still lingering on her skin. What did he mean? A game of cat and mouse? She had no confidence in letting such a man fall in love with her.
He is like a deep pool, bottomless, and like a torrent, surging and surging, he is the man she cannot control. He is sometimes an angel, sometimes a devil, sometimes generous, sometimes sharp, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes businesslike, sometimes private, making you feel that he seems to have great attention and interest in you.
He is so erratic.
But Yu Rui had to admit that his charm lay in his fickleness.
Over the past few days, Yu Rui has realized that Han Guang has completely cut ties with Weng Yue. Weng Yue has tried several times to contact Han Guang through Yu Rui, but to no avail. It wasn't Yu Rui who was trying to stop her; it was Han Guang's iron curtain, leaving her no chance. Yu Rui's understanding is that Han Guang probably feels that his debt to Weng Yue has been repaid.
However, Weng Yue's brother Weng Yang took the opportunity to report on his work and came to the big city to meet Han Guang.
The first time in many years.
Weng Yang is now the "general manager" of an apartment complex in Hengdian. Han Guang met with him for ten minutes. Weng Yang brought important information: an entertainment group has begun expanding into Myanmar, planning to build an entertainment city there. It's simple. The land is cheap. The only concern is public security.
Fortunately, the situation has stabilized recently, and as long as it can operate for three years, it can basically recover its investment and make a profit. And the main profit channel is self-evident - casinos are allowed there.
Han Guang certainly knew the news, but since Weng Yang came so eagerly, he gave him an extra position as a reward out of consideration for their past friendship - before he came, he was only the general manager of the apartment, but after he came, he would be the deputy general manager of the local branch.
Weng Yang felt more proud than ever before.
Having achieved his "official" status, Weng Yang got a bit carried away. He took the initiative to ask Yu Meng to meet him, just to show off. Yu Meng didn't want to see him at first, but when she thought about the important information Weng Yang had "accidentally" revealed, she felt it was necessary to meet him to find out about the recent situation of her old rival Weng Yue.
Unexpectedly, upon meeting, Weng Yue didn't reveal much, but Yu Meng unexpectedly learned about the land parcel in Myanmar. She asked Weng Yang if it was reliable. Weng Yang said he had reported it to President Han and that if any action was taken, it would be a group operation involving two other groups.
Yu Meng couldn't contain her excitement. If the group could provide support, and if the Xin family could be brought in to work on a project together, it would truly be a golden opportunity to make a name for herself! Looking at the boastful Weng Yang, Yu Meng sighed inwardly, "Yu Meng, Yu Meng, you really woke up too late. You're just a woman, so you always want to walk the path a woman should walk. If you were a man, you would have wiped out these stupid, cowardly men long ago! Okay, okay, it's not too late to wake up now. There's nothing else to say, just do it! We must liberate our minds and seek truth from facts!"
Yu Meng held a glass of red wine, gazing out the window at the dazzling night, a surge of ambition rising in her chest. After all these years, she suddenly felt that men meant nothing. She had been vying for a role as the Empress, but what was wrong with simply playing the Queen? A woman's position wouldn't be secure without ruthlessness! She was determined to achieve something, to make men bow down to her, to make scheming bitches like Weng Yue envious to the point of becoming deformed.
