Meanwhile, in China at this moment...
Ruan Qing'an was walking out of Qiming Entertainment's company when his assistant jogged over, calling out, "President Ruan, President Ruan!"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Ruan Qing'an answered casually. She was looking down at the message on her phone, a notification from the bank, and her account was almost empty, with only a few hundred yuan left.
Unbeknownst to many, Qiming's funding chain had already dried up...
Even in such a difficult situation, Ruan Qingan showed little reaction on his face, as if he had expected it all along.
037: [Ancestor, you're really ruthless to yourself.]
Ruan Qing'an chuckled, not saying much, but looked at his assistant: "If nothing unexpected happens, Qiming is about to go bankrupt. You can actually leave first, since there aren't many people left anyway."
"No, I trust you, Mr. Ruan!"
The assistant shook his head vigorously: "Mr. Ruan, I don't believe you would lose so easily. Even if there was only one Qiming, even if there was no Ruan Group, I don't believe you would lose!"
"So, I'm still going to follow you, Mr. Ruan!"
Hearing the assistant's resolute words, Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback, then suddenly laughed: "You'd better think this through. I sold everything, including my jewelry and collections, and poured it all into Qiming. Now I've lost everything."
"I've thought it through."
The assistant nodded vigorously: "I've been following you, Mr. Ruan, all the way up Qiming to where it is today. I trust you."
"……good."
Ruan Qing'an shook his head helplessly, while his assistant stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Ruan, what are your plans next?"
"Of course, we'll continue."
A cryptic look flickered in Ruan Qing'an's leaden eyes. As she spoke, she tossed her last savings into the account: "If I hadn't been driven to the brink, how could my 'good sister' have believed that my father no longer had control over the Ruan family business?"
"I understand, Mr. Ruan!"
The assistant immediately said, as if she understood something, and looked at Ruan Qing'an with starry eyes—Little Ruan must have a way!
...
As Nguyen Thanh An had predicted, the shareholders of the Nguyen Group and Nguyen Thanh Linh, among others, were in complete uproar within the past week.
Even they didn't expect Qiming Entertainment to be in such a dire state now.
In the spacious conference room, a huge screen displayed a presentation slideshow, showcasing the current state of Qiming Entertainment. Ruan Qingling sat at the head of the table, while the other shareholders sat to the side.
The entire conference room was completely silent.
Ruan Qingling's hands tightened involuntarily, and she couldn't help but say, "I feel very sorry about Qiming Entertainment. I didn't expect that just by leaving the Ruan family, my sister would already show her true colors."
Everyone sneered inwardly: Wasn't this all your doing?
But the major shareholder didn't say much, instead saying, "After all, it's normal that we don't have Chairman Ruan's help anymore."
"Yes, it seems Chairman Ruan has given up on it."
Hearing the shareholders' words, Ruan Qingling became even more certain of her guess. Ruan Qing'an was in such a state, yet Ruan's father could still sit still. There was no other possibility than that he really couldn't control him.
Ruan Qingling stood up and said with a smile, "My father's condition has deteriorated rapidly in the past few days, and he has been hospitalized. Since he is no longer able to take over the group's affairs, I, as his daughter, should share his burdens."
"From now on, I'll be in charge of the Ruan Group!"
Ruan Qingling said these words with conviction.
The shareholders immediately chimed in, congratulating Ruan Qingling. She maintained a faint smile, but the joy in her eyes lingered.
Even Ruan's father was defeated; this time, Ruan Qingling has won completely!
After Ruan Qingling left the meeting room, the shareholders who had just been as kind as elders exchanged glances, and they could all see the greed in their eyes—with that old fox Ruan's father sent to the hospital, could Ruan Qingling really stop them from seizing the property?
Clearly, Ruan Qingling was completely unaware of the wolfish greed of this pack.
However, precisely because Ruan's father was no longer a constraint, Ruan Qingling's methods became more and more direct. Ruan's family's targeting of Ruan Qing'an's Qiming changed from subtle targeting to openly and blatantly tripping him up.
In the evening, in the office of Qiming Entertainment.
The entire Qiming building had been almost completely emptied out, leaving a desolate and dilapidated feeling in the eye. The assistant carefully walked in, clutching a blanket, while Ruan Qing'an was resting on the small sofa in the office.
Because the house was also taken back, and he had nowhere to live, Nguyen Thanh An has been resting here temporarily these days.
Just as the assistant brought the blanket up, Ruan Qing'an woke up. She raised her hand to press her temples and said groggily, "Um... why haven't you gone back to rest yet?"
"I'm a little worried about you, Mr. Ruan."
The assistant glanced at her phone and said, "By the way, Mr. Ruan, there's something—"
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, a rapid knocking on the door interrupted the assistant's words. She could only smile awkwardly, run over and open the door. Standing in the doorway was He Xiu, who was standing next to Ruan Qingling.
At this moment, He Xiu was in high spirits, and even the way she looked at Ruan Qing'an was full of condescension.
She raised her chin: "Second Miss Ruan, oh no, you're not the Second Miss anymore. If you hadn't opposed our Eldest Miss, how could you have ended up like this?"
Is it really meaningful for you to say that?!
The assistant was so angry she wanted to rush forward and tear He Xiu's mouth apart, but Ruan Qing'an stopped her and asked He Xiu, "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you being so fierce?"
He Xiu sneered sarcastically, "Heh, President Ruan said that if you sign Qiming's transfer agreement directly, she can find you a rental house out of consideration for our past sisterhood."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that the adopted daughter who relies on the Ruan family for food would one day live in a shabby place like the company."
Hearing He Xiu's harsh sarcasm, it was clear that Ruan Qingling was about to completely break off all pretense of friendship and didn't even want to maintain the facade. She wished she could trample Ruan Qing'an into the mud!
The assistant's face turned red with anger: "You're just a petty person who's gotten away with something!"
"So what if I'm a scoundrel? I still get paid."
He Xiu said smugly, then snorted and turned to look at Ruan Qing'an: "If you don't agree, then you can live on the street!"
"oh."
Ruan Qing'an sneered and raised his eyes: "Get lost. Without its owner on a leash, you still dare to bark here? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you?"
"You dare?!"
He Xiu was furious. A fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken; she wasn't afraid of Ruan Qing'an at all. She simply raised her hand high—
But the next moment, a cold voice came.
"Don't block the way."
"who--"
Before He Xiu could speak, she was kicked in the back and fell to the ground, leaving a footprint on the back of her white shirt.
