Even though Ruan Qing'an said this, she knew in her heart that this was an extremely dangerous move—she was testing the reason why Luo Yuming came to pick her up.
In front of the coffee shop, Luo Yuming's hand was supporting her. Neither of them spoke, and every second felt infinitely long.
037 was too nervous to speak, but Ruan Qing'an was quite relaxed. He secretly made a judgment: Luo Yuming must be hesitant. After all, he had come this far from having nothing to being able to compete with the Luo and Ruan families. He didn't know how much he had paid.
He should also weigh the pros and cons and act in accordance with the interests at stake.
When someone came out from behind him, Ruan Qing'an didn't wait for Luo Yuming to speak and said directly, "Alright, I'll drive back first—"
"Young Miss, you're really troublesome."
Luo Yuming's voice was slightly hoarse. He looked down at her, and with a slight tightening of his grip on Ruan Qing'an's waist, he pressed her towards him: "Miss, come closer, don't block the people behind you."
Feeling the strong force in my waist.
Ruan Qingan: ...Isn't there an option to push me away?
Even after Luo Yuming helped Ruan Qing'an into the car, she was still somewhat dazed and couldn't quite come to her senses. Wasn't this guy just hesitating a moment ago? How did he suddenly—
"Luo Yuming, what are you doing?"
"Don't move, young lady..."
Ruan Qing'an instinctively tried to sit up, but Luo Yuming's large hands directly grabbed her wrists, easily pinning her against the back seat, bending his knees to press down on her legs, his tall figure seemingly enveloping Ruan Qing'an beneath him.
For a moment, they were so entangled that even their breaths seemed to intertwine, and the temperature continued to rise with the warm breath.
Ruan Qing'an finally realized what was happening and quickly pressed himself against the back seat: "Cough cough, I... I'm not moving, what are you going to do?"
"Let me apply the medicine for you."
Luo Yuming then looked away with difficulty, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He took out a medicine box from the side, bent down to apply iodine to Ruan Qing'an's knee for disinfection, and asked, "What do you plan to do about the Han family?"
"...I did something wrong, so I deserve this treatment."
Ruan Qingan sighed: "If you make a mistake, you should admit it and stand up straight when you are beaten. But just admitting your mistake is not enough. What Han Chengcai wants to see is an heir. I am his granddaughter and the future head of the family."
"In essence, this is just an exchange of benefits."
Hearing this, Luo Yuming was stunned. He thought that the young lady was still thinking about how to beg for forgiveness and get the Han family as her backer. He didn't expect that she had already thought this far ahead.
After applying the medicine to Ruan Qing'an, Luo Yuming placed a piece of gauze on the wound on her forehead before putting away his medicine box again.
"As long as you have a plan in mind, that's fine."
"Well, that old man will definitely have Ruan Tiantian start practicing at the company next. Let's go to the company first."
As Ruan Qing'an spoke, he gave the address of the Ruan family's Hongyuan Group, then leaned back in the back seat and looked at his phone, seemingly pondering something. Luo Yuming didn't ask any questions, but instead got into the driver's seat and stepped on the gas.
...
At the board meeting of Hongyuan Group.
Ruan Tiantian was wearing a formal suit, but she was still a little shy and insecure. Her delicate face had a slightly timid look. Ruan's father stood in front of her, adjusting her collar.
Mr. Ruan said kindly, "The shareholders will be arriving at the shareholders' meeting soon. I will formally introduce you and announce the arrangements to follow."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
"What are you saying? Dad will always be there for you."
Mr. Ruan said, his eyes welling up with tears as he looked at Ruan Tiantian: "Dad has been wanting to see you like this for a long time. You're great. Keep it up!"
Ruan Tiantian nodded shyly, behaving very obediently.
At this moment, more and more shareholders have entered the market. Mr. Ruan composed himself, tidied his appearance, and waited quietly.
About fifteen minutes later, following the passing of Ruan's mother a month earlier, Hongyuan Group held another shareholders' meeting. The major shareholders had also heard about the press conference, and the crowd below was abuzz with discussion.
Mr. Ruan, standing at the front, interrupted, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I think you are all aware of the press conference. I'm here to introduce my eldest daughter, Ruan Tiantian."
"Sweetie, over here."
Ruan Tiantian took a deep breath, walked to her father's side, and said with a gentle and polite smile: "Hello, elders. I am Ruan Tiantian, and one of the future heirs of the group."
Only after Mr. Ruan led the applause did sparse applause come from below, making the scene somewhat awkward.
One of the shareholders suddenly said, "Before Madam Ruan passed away, Miss Ruan Qing'an was always chosen. Now that things have suddenly changed, I wonder what Chairman Ruan's plans are?"
"Yes, Mrs. Ruan is an excellent leader, and Miss Ruan Qingan was chosen by Chairman Ruan together with her."
Upon hearing Ruan's mother's name again, Ruan's father's face darkened. This was what he disliked most about Ruan's mother, and what made her least like Ruan Tiantian's mother.
She was just his wife, but her prestige within the Hongyuan Group even surpassed that of Ruan's father, the original head of the family.
He was quite happy to raise Ruan Tiantian into an outstanding successor, after all, that would be his achievement. But as long as Ruan's mother was around, all of Ruan's father's self-esteem and face were trampled on the ground!
Before her father could speak, Ruan Tiantian said, "I know that I arrived later than Ruan Ruan, so none of the elders know much about me."
“The elders here are all veterans who have been with Hongyuan Group since its early days. They consider the group their own home, so they are somewhat resistant to me. But I hope you can give me a chance. I also want to work hard to prove my abilities.”
Hearing this, Mr. Ruan was even more gratified and said, "Tian Tian has a good heart, and she will also try her best to learn how to become an excellent leader. This is also where she is better than Ruan Qingan."
Even the head of Hongyuan Group spoke like this. The shareholders sitting down looked left and right. They were more inclined to support Ruan Qing'an because of Ruan's mother, but her past behavior was indeed unacceptable.
Not to mention, the dead are no match for the living; if we're really talking about power, then it should definitely be Ruan's father...
With that thought in mind, the shareholders finally applauded.
Ruan Tiantian then smiled, and Ruan's father continued, "Although Ruan Qing'an was the heir personally chosen by my late wife, her performance has been very poor. She doesn't know how to manage and is not ambitious. If she doesn't repent, her status as heir needs to be reconsidered."
"I hope that all shareholders will not have any prejudice against Tian Tian."
The shareholders immediately replied, "No, no—"
Just then, the tightly closed door of the conference room was pushed open, and a melodious voice, as clear as jade beads falling onto a plate, rang out. The voice was drawn out and sounded extremely sarcastic.
"Dad really knows how to talk."
"Don't be prejudiced against your sister. Didn't your lecture just now make them prejudiced against me?"
