For some reason, Song Nuan felt as if he had seen through her little scheme.
She swallowed hard, her mind racing.
To be honest, she still doesn't consider herself to be on the same level as Ouyang Zhoujing, which makes it difficult for her to talk about it now.
"I……"
"The R&D department is quite special; it's not under the CEO's jurisdiction. It's complicated. If you're interested in the future, you can come and work for the group to learn about the group's organizational structure."
Song Nuan was speechless.
Now things are even worse; I have no idea how to ask him for help.
The words that were already difficult to say were now stuck in my throat, with no chance to be uttered.
Song Nuan sighed silently. Given Ouyang Ren's attitude towards her, if she directly asked Ouyang Zhoujing for help, things would probably get even more difficult in the future.
never mind.
"Let me call Yiran and Fangyu out so we can have a meal together."
He smiled and replied, "Okay."
While opening the group chat to send a message, Song Nuan explained, "I met your family today, but my family wasn't with me. The two of them are my closest relatives."
She looked up at him. "You don't mind, do you?"
Ouyang Zhoujing smiled and ruffled her hair. "How could that be?"
Song Nuan smiled slightly, glanced at Fang Yu's reply, and said, "Okay, I just happened to have something to tell you."
She glanced at it, then put her phone back in her bag.
"Fang Yu happens to be nearby. I'll wait for her here. You go over and order first, and the three of us will go over together in a bit."
Song Nuan unbuckled her seatbelt. "Send me the box number."
Ouyang Zhoujing frowned slightly. "I'll wait with you."
"Need not."
After instinctively refusing, Song Nuan belatedly realized that her tone was a bit cold and hard, so she softened it a bit and said, "Actually, Yi Ran and I have some private matters to resolve."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhoujing decided not to press the matter further.
After telling her to be careful, I drove away.
No sooner had he left than Fang Yu arrived, panting, and said, "I found out that the research and development department of Ouyang Group is managed by the former director, Ouyang Ren."
Song Nuan turned her head and stared thoughtfully at the restaurant's main door.
Fang Yu was puzzled.
What are you looking at?
Song Nuan asked calmly, "Are you sure it's Ouyang Ren?"
Fang Yu nodded, then shook her head. "There's no definite news that it's Ouyang Ren, but Ouyang Ren rarely participates in any activities and seldom appears in public. The few public events he's attended in recent years have all been with the R&D department."
"Okay, I understand."
She couldn't bring herself to speak to Ouyang Zhoujing, but wouldn't she be just as hesitant to speak to Ouyang Ren?
Xu Yiran glanced at her phone but still hadn't replied to the message.
Song Nuan said to Fang Yu, "Go pick up Yi Ran. If you don't step in, I think she's planning to ignore me for the rest of her life."
"good."
After sending Fang Yu away, Song Nuan turned around and headed towards the restaurant.
The waiter saw her and immediately recognized her as the VIP customer who had just arrived. Before Song Nuan could even ask for help, the waiter enthusiastically led her to the private room.
Song Nuan politely thanked her.
After the waiter left, she knocked on the door, but no one answered. She knocked a few more times, but still no one opened the door.
Has Ouyang Ren left?
That's impossible.
She stayed at the door the whole time and didn't see Ouyang Ren leave.
Moreover, if there is no one inside and the table has been cleared, the waiter will not bring her over without saying a word.
According to the rules, she should have left by now, since the person inside was none other than Ouyang Ren. Without Ouyang Zhoujing as a catalyst, who knows what might have happened.
but--
Song Nuan straightened her clothes and went straight in through the door.
"Mr. Ouyang." She greeted him before even seeing him, as she needed his help and needed to be polite.
However, after walking around the decorative wall and arriving at the dining table, Song Nuan's smile froze completely when she saw the scene before her.
What's going on?
Besides Ouyang Ren, there was also a short-haired woman in the private room—Zhao Ruxin, Ouyang Zhoujing's aunt.
Just a dozen minutes ago, Ouyang Ren was all high and mighty, but now he was in a sorry state, his neck was crooked, his face was pale and bluish, and his hands were trembling.
He looked like he was about to kick the bucket at any moment.
Although Zhao Ruxin looked anxious, she did not take any first aid measures. At least Song Nuan did not see any trace of first aid measures in the current footage.
Zhao Ruxin demanded sharply, "Who let you in? Get out!"
Reason told Song Nuan that she had to leave, she had to leave immediately!
If she gets involved in any of the secrets of wealthy families, she won't have a good outcome, without a doubt.
It's like there's glue stuck to the soles of my feet.
Her feet were glued to the floor. No matter how much her mind screamed "Get out of here!", Song Nuan couldn't get her legs to obey her commands and leave.
Zhao Ruxin glared at her, "You're getting addicted to watching it, aren't you?"
She stepped forward, blocking Song Nuan's view and completely concealing Ouyang Ren's unsightly behavior.
Song Nuan forced herself to regain a sliver of reason, "What's wrong with him?"
Zhao Ruxin's expression remained calm. "He's old and has chronic ailments. He's already taken his medicine and will be fine in a bit. You're just Zhou Jing's girlfriend; you haven't entered the Ouyang family yet. It's none of your business to interfere."
Song Nuan really wanted to believe her.
This statement is perfectly logical and contains no flaws.
But Song Nuan just felt something was strange, even eerie, an indescribable oddity.
Eyes don't lie.
She only glanced at him briefly when she entered, but she was deeply impressed by Ouyang Ren's eyes. They were a desperate cry for help, an extreme desire to live, and he didn't look like he had taken any drugs.
Reaching into her bag, she instinctively dialed 120.
Then he said loudly, "The traffic is terrible here at Shimao City. Mr. Ouyang, the situation looks bad. You should take him to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."
With that, Song Nuan walked past Zhao Ruxin and headed towards Ouyang Ren.
I hadn't taken more than a few steps when my wrist was grabbed.
"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Song Nuan's eyes sharpened, and she quickly shook off her hand, running to Ouyang Ren's side to check on his condition. "Can you speak? How are you now?"
"Uh...uh..."
Ouyang Ren responded to her with monosyllabic sounds.
His eyes were fixed straight ahead, trembling as if he wanted to point at something, but despite his efforts, he couldn't move his fingers.
Song Nuan had no idea what he was trying to say.
She quickly called 120 (emergency services) and gave them the address and room number, then described Ouyang Ren's condition to the medical staff across the room.
Zhao Ruxin observed the entire process from the sidelines.
Song Nuan was a little angry, but now was not the time to hold anyone accountable.
The medical staff asked, "The symptoms resemble an acute heart attack. Please check the patient's bag to see if they are carrying any medications."
"good."
Looking around, Song Nuan couldn't find her bag.
She anxiously demanded of Zhao Ruxin, "Where's his bag?!"
"The old man always has entourage when he goes out, why would he need to carry his own bag?"
Song Nuan tried to remain calm, patting Ouyang Ren's back while asking Zhao Ruxin, "You know about his medical history, right?"
"have no idea."
"You don't know?" Song Nuanqi laughed. "Then what medicine does he usually take?"
Zhao Ruxin frowned at her. "You're quite an interesting young lady. We're usually working outside, and the housekeeper takes care of the old man. How would I know his medical history and what medications he takes?"
"..."
Song Nuanzhen really wanted to smash Zhao Ruxin to death with a shovel.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from afar.
