Chapter 80 Being Targeted!
"Why?"
At that moment, many plots from novels that Yan Ruo had read before flashed through her mind: yandere, confinement, coercion?
But Xu Shaoyu usually looked quite healthy both physically and mentally. And since he was about to return to North City, why did he force her to stay in South City?
Catching the suspicion in her eyes, Xu Shaoyu spoke calmly.
"Do I need a reason not to let you go? What are you thinking? Are you afraid that I will sell you out?"
Yan Ruo smiled awkwardly. Although Xu Shaoyu was strong, his character was absolutely flawless. It seemed that he had been too idle recently and had been poisoned by novels.
He touched his ear and said, "I have a lot of things to do at home."
Xu Shaoyu picked up the tablet and looked at the documents seriously. He didn't even look up when he heard this. "Your business plan is just a few sheets of paper. Where did all this come from?"
Yan Ruo immediately became confident and said, "Just because it's just a few pieces of paper, there's more to do."
At this point, she suddenly realized, "Are there any good opportunities in Nancheng recently?"
Xu Shaoyu snorted lightly, "You're not that stupid. I thought you hadn't worked for a few months and your brain was rusty."
Yan Ruo didn't care about him calling her stupid, and quickly asked excitedly, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
"Then I'll wait at the airport..."
"I'll take you there. Don't worry, I drive fast and steady, you know."
It was rare to see her being so servile, Xu Shaoyu's eyes were filled with smiles, and seeing her looking at him eagerly and expectantly, he finally spoke with mercy.
"There's a business banquet the day after tomorrow, hosted by the Zhou family. Aren't you planning to start a business? It's a good opportunity to make some connections and get a feel for the situation."
Yan Ruo's eyes flashed, and the smile on her face became sincere, "Then this invitation..."
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyes and looked at her deeply. Yan Ru immediately touched her face alertly, "Is there something on my face?"
Xu Shaoyu shook his head. "No, I just noticed that your attitude change is quite...flexible."
Yan Ruo, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Nothing, the Zhou family will deliver the invitation here this afternoon. You can continue to stay here for the next few days."
Yan Ruo had no objection to this.
Anyway, the boss is rich, and the presidential suites here are reserved on an annual basis, so it would be a waste if he doesn't use them.
And after Xu Shaoyu leaves, I will live alone, which will be so comfortable.
She said briskly, "Then I'll go help you pack your luggage."
"No need." Meeting her puzzled look, Xu Shaoyu patiently explained, "I'm going back to North City to handle some urgent matters. I'll be back in four or five days."
"So soon?"
Xu's headquarters is in North City, and Yan Ruo has seen how busy Xu Shaoyu is.
How come you have so much free time now to hang out in South City?
As if he could see what she was thinking, Xu Shaoyu lowered his voice, with a hint of danger that was hard to detect.
"Why, you don't want me to come."
Of course Yan Ruo couldn't admit it, and quickly waved her hand, "You're overthinking it. It's your freedom to go wherever you want. Come whenever you want, how dare I object?"
"That's better." Xu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and let out an ambiguous laugh.
"There's a business conference in South City next week, and after that, Xu's company will officially open a new company in this city. For the next period of time, I'll basically be staying in South City."
Oh my god~
The company has grown so big, and it is still expanding?
No wonder when I followed him out to discuss cooperation in the past, those old foxes would either test me or make some subtle remarks.
Since she didn't have to pack her luggage, Yan Ruo just sat on the sofa and browsed her phone with peace of mind.
She didn't notice that Xu Shaoyu hadn't gone to the study all morning, but was sitting not far from her, processing work documents.
After lunch, I quickly sent him to the airport.
After getting out of the car, Xu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the woman who was sitting quietly in the driver's seat and had never thought of getting out of the car. He stood there without moving.
Yan Ruo poked her head out curiously and urged, "Hurry up and go in, don't be late."
Xu Shaoyu's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Yan Ruo, are you a taxi driver?"
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Yan Ruo bewildered. How had she offended him again?
Never mind, I’ll send a message to Chi Yu first and ask her to go shopping with me in the mall in the evening. I need to prepare an outfit to wear to the party.
Since I resigned, all my previous professional attire has been packed up and collected dust. The clothes I brought to Nancheng this time are very casual.
This banquet must be taken seriously.
I had just returned to the hotel and was about to take a nap when someone knocked on the door.
Xu Shaoyu actually had someone prepare clothes for her and had them delivered to her just in time.
There is no need to buy clothes, and the shopping trip we had planned turned into a hotpot meal.
After telling Chi Yu about sending Xu Shaoyu to the airport today and him giving her clothes, Yan Ruo concluded.
"Although he used to be cold, he was at least emotionally stable and had a strong core. Why is his tone becoming more and more sarcastic now?"
"You really are a straight woman." Chi Yu couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
"Even if you're taking an ordinary friend to the airport or train station, you still have to get out of the car and see them off to the station. Given your relationship, it's fine if you didn't hug and kiss goodbye, but you didn't even get out of the car. He was right when he said you looked like a taxi driver."
"Is that so?" Yan Ruo took out a piece of beef and put it into the bowl.
But when Xu Shaoyu was on a business trip in the past, she rarely got out of the car when she drove him to the airport.
…
The Zhou family’s influence in Nancheng cannot be underestimated.
Although the business banquet hosted by their family was not large in scale, all the important figures in South City were present.
Yan Ruo deliberately wore a light blue dress with a simple style and cut, which was decent and low-key.
When I entered the venue with the invitation, many people were already there.
If she were in North City, Yan Ruo might know quite a lot of people, but these people in South City were quite unfamiliar to her.
I picked up a glass of juice and found a secluded place to sit down.
When you first arrive, you should talk less and watch more.
Although we have already learned about the business forces in South City in advance, we should not believe all the rumors and still observe more.
In particular, it is necessary to match people to their respective seats and see what the actual relationship is between the various families.
Since I came here thanks to Xu Shaoyu, I might as well help him collect some information as a reward.
In less than ten minutes, Yan Ruo had already spotted several South City business leaders. These people could be future partners or competitors of the Xu family.
More and more people came, and the banquet became larger than Yan Ru had imagined.
She touched her nose feeling a little guilty.
I felt like a dwarf entering a world of giants.
She was too embarrassed to tell others about her entrepreneurial project, which was still just on paper, in such an occasion.
What Yan Ruo didn't know was that while she was observing others, others were also looking at her.
Especially in the corner diagonally opposite, a thin-looking man stared at Yan Ruo for a long time before he spoke casually to the middle-aged man next to him.
"Old Liu, are you sure Mr. Xu won't cause trouble if you touch that woman?"
