Chapter 181: Make a surprise attack!
Lisa was also devastated. It turned out that she was not mistaken last time. The man was really Mr. Xu from Xu Corporation.
But isn't it rumored that President Xu has a cold personality and only cares about work?
Why would one go to such a remote countryside and have the leisure to go into the woods to pick chestnuts?
She was somewhat self-deceiving and thought, "Could it be that Mrs. Zhou recognized the wrong person? How could that woman know Mr. Xu?"
Mr. Li's face was filled with impatience. "I've heard that Mr. Xu's girlfriend comes from an ordinary family, but she has already been recognized by the elders of the Xu family. There's no way she's wrong."
This completely destroyed Lisa's last bit of hope.
Although she only held a sinecure position in the company and was not in charge of much of the business, she knew how important the cooperation with Xu was to her company.
She also knew that although her father loved her, it was nothing compared to the company's interests.
She looked around helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, she felt a gentle pat on her shoulder. Lisa turned her head and felt aggrieved instantly when she saw Zhou Ming's caring gaze.
"Zhou Ming, what should I do?"
Zhou Ming put a little more force on the hand on her shoulder and held her in his arms to comfort her.
"It's okay. Yan Ruo isn't a petty person, and it was just a verbal conflict. We can go and apologize to her together tomorrow."
"Will she take the opportunity to take revenge on me?"
"No. I'll go with you to see her tomorrow. She'll have to give me, a fellow villager and old classmate, some face."
Having just been scolded by her father, and now with someone to comfort her, Lisa finally couldn't help but tear up.
"Zhou Ming, you are so nice."
Zhou Ming patted her back gently before letting her go. He sighed and turned to look at Mr. Li.
"Mr. Li, Yan Ruo and I... and Miss Yan are old acquaintances. I'll take Lisa to apologize to her tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Miss Yan has always been generous and will not let this incident affect the company's cooperation with Xu's."
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a lot, "I didn't expect you knew Miss Yan."
"In that case, I'll have someone prepare some generous gifts, and you can bring them over tomorrow."
Zhou Ming frowned, "Boss Li, the apology gift doesn't need to be too expensive, right?"
"No one would apologize empty-handed. And since you two are old acquaintances, this is a good opportunity to improve your relationship."
Mr. Li patted Zhou Ming's shoulder gently and spoke earnestly.
"Whether or not we can get further cooperation from Xu Corporation in the future depends on you."
Facing Mr. Li's expectant gaze, Zhou Ming felt a little helpless and wanted to say that his relationship with Yan Ruo was not that good.
But when he turned around and saw Lisa's pitiful look, he swallowed his words.
On the other side, Zhao Jie sat in the passenger seat and asked curiously, "Yan Ruo, is Mr. Xu from Xu Corporation really your boyfriend?"
Yan Ruo kept her eyes on the front and nodded when she heard this, "Yes."
I didn’t expect it to be true!
No wonder our office, a small operations center, is located in Xu Building.
Moreover, Secretary Li was always polite to them every time they met him, and he would always buy some office supplies for them every time they purchased them.
She always thought that it was because Yan Ruo had a good relationship with Secretary Li.
It turns out that he is not on good terms with Secretary Li, but with Boss Xu.
What Zhao Jie was a little puzzled about was.
"Your boyfriend is so talented. Even a little bit of his wealth would be enough to support our sales for several years. Why do you still want to start your own business?"
Yan Ruo smiled and said, "That requires others to be willing to give it to you through their fingers. In comparison, I still prefer to get what I want myself."
Thinking of her failed marriage, Zhao Jie nodded in agreement, looking a little melancholy.
"You still see it clearly."
Yan Ruo looked at her with some worry, but before Yan Ruo could say anything to comfort her, she immediately became happy again.
"I didn't expect that you, boss, have such a powerful backer behind you. Does that mean I don't have to worry about losing my job in the future?"
Yan Ruo chuckled, "If you want to avoid unemployment, you have to work hard to expand the market."
Zhao Jie waved her hand. "We've been working hard, but we're short on manpower and funds. At this stage, the fastest way to expand the market is to leverage other resources."
Yan Ruo glanced at her sideways, "How do you borrow force?"
Zhao Jie said bluntly, "Of course, you should make good use of your status as Mr. Xu's girlfriend and quickly expand your network. With connections, the market will follow, won't it?"
Yan Ruo smiled and nodded, "That makes sense."
The next day, Yan Ruo received a message from Zhou Ming adding her as a friend. Not only did he send an apology, he also said that he would bring Lisa to apologize to her today and asked her if she had time to have dinner together.
Although Zhou Ming likes to pretend, he is quite methodical in doing things.
And although he was a bit of a peacemaker yesterday, he was still trying his best to stop Lisa from causing trouble for her.
After thinking about it, Yan Ruo replied.
[No need to eat, let's have a cup of coffee together at 6pm at the cafe across from the Xu Building.]
Although Lisa has a temper like a spoiled little princess and is a bit pretentious, she is more afraid of her father.
So her apology was sincere.
It was originally a verbal conflict, and Yan Ruo felt that she had not suffered any loss, so she said she would not take it to heart.
After all, they were just afraid that they would tell Xu Shaoyu about their wrongdoing.
Looking at the two people who looked much more relaxed because she accepted her apology, Yan Ruo shook her head secretly. It’s different when you are rich and powerful.
"I accept your apology, but forget about the gifts. I have dinner plans, so I'll be leaving now."
Seeing Yan Ruo leave so abruptly, Lisa felt a little worried.
"Will she really not care? Will she go back on her word and say bad things about us to Mr. Xu later?"
Zhou Ming was helpless. "No, if she really cared, she wouldn't have let go so easily just now."
Lisa thought about it and still had some doubts.
If it were her, even if she didn't take revenge afterwards, she would have to make things difficult for him with such a good opportunity just now to vent her anger.
Yan Ruoke doesn't have the time to waste on such things.
I don’t know if it’s because Mrs. Zhou said in public that she was Xu Shaoyu’s girlfriend that day, but they have inexplicably received a lot of orders in the past few days.
But if a business comes to your door, you should take it.
Yan Ruo and Zhao Jie have also been discussing recently that if they want to promote the brand, they need to come up with some new ideas.
After returning home in the evening and taking a shower, Yan Ruo found an old movie and called Xu Shaoyu while watching it.
[It seems like she called earlier than usual today. Was she trying to surprise me by checking up on me?]
Yan Ruo grabbed the pillow beside her and hugged it in her arms, "Are you afraid that I'll check on you? Have you done anything wrong?"
Xu Shaoyu paused for two seconds, "It seems Aunt Liao is really your spy."
Yan Ruo snorted in dissatisfaction, "If you eat on time every day, Aunt Liao won't report you."
