Chapter 149 I’m not bad looking either!
It may be because the office is located in the Xu Group Building.
Yan Ruo's operation center, which currently has only one employee, has actually attracted quite a few people to come for interviews.
In the end, Yan Ruo chose two people to stay, a man and a woman.
The man is a local who just graduated this year, and the woman also just came back from another place, but has two years of work experience.
It just so happened that Zhao Jie had also settled down in Nancheng and had already come to work.
After everyone got to know each other and had a meal together, this small operations center was officially put into operation.
It was not known whether it was due to Xu Shaoyu's orders or because she realized that Yan Ruo posed no threat to her position as the chief secretary of the branch.
During this period, Li Rongyi helped Yan Ruo a lot. After knowing that her staff were in place, he personally delivered the meal card.
In terms of operations and sales, Yan Ruo is in charge of the general direction, but the specific implementation and management are handed over to Zhao Jie.
There are only two or three kittens anyway. As long as the job is done well, Yan Ruo will not blame anyone.
During this period, she and Xu Shaoyu contacted each other every day, sending messages during the day and calling each other before going to bed.
Although Xu Shaoyu didn't say anything, Yan Ruo could clearly feel that he was a little anxious.
At night, leaning against the headboard, Yan Ruo said to Xu Shaoyu on the other end of the phone, "Things in Nancheng are almost done. I plan to go back the day after tomorrow."
"It's okay to go back. Take some time to sort out things at home. Next time I come to Nancheng, you'll have time to come."
Through the phone, one could still hear Xu Shaoyu's voice was tired and hoarse.
Yan Ruo couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Is this matter very difficult?"
【Fortunately, it's just a small matter and can be dealt with quickly.】
"I know you're capable and that nothing can stop you. You told me before that I shouldn't handle everything alone, and now I'm returning it to you intact."
"No matter how important those things are, they are not as important as your health. If you have anything, you can tell me."
"Although I'm not as capable as you and can't solve your problem right away, I can still help you think of a solution. Besides, some troubles only make you feel better when you talk about them."
[Okay, if there's anything, I'll be the first to tell you.]
After saying this, Xu Shaoyu was silent for a few seconds, and Yan Ruo seemed a little absent-minded when talking to him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Ruo could only say, "It's very late, go to bed early."
"Ruoruo." Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Xu Shaoyu hesitated to speak.
"Hmm." Yan Ruo couldn't help but feel strange. He always did things quickly and efficiently. This really didn't seem like his style. "You talk, I listen."
After a few seconds, Xu Shaoyu's voice slowly came from the other end of the phone.
[I'm investigating something, but unfortunately, too much time has passed and many leads have been lost.]
It turned out that he returned to Beicheng not because of company matters, but because there was new clue about his father's car accident that year.
Yan Ruo's eyes darkened, and she consoled him, "Things leave traces. As long as you work hard, you'll always find new clues. Don't worry."
[Do you...know what I'm looking for? ]
Yan Ruo did not hide it, "Xu Shaochuan came to me last time and told me something."
Xu Shaoyu snorted softly and said softly, "Why would he bother with anything?"
[I found a new clue today, but things are a bit troublesome. During this period, no matter what you hear or see, don't believe it.]
"What will happen?" Yan Ruo asked worriedly, "Will it endanger your safety?"
Xu Shaoyu chuckled, his tone softening a bit. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yan Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
[Yan Ruo, this matter is very important to me. I will tell you after it is over. Just trust me.]
"Okay, I believe you."
The next night, while eating out, Yan Ruo told Chi Yu about this.
"What on earth could it be?"
Chi Yu picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. "Since you said you believe him, then calm down. Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and do what you should do."
He put the piece of meat into his mouth and took two big bites.
"You're right. I can't stop him from doing anything anyway, so let it be. Go home tomorrow and I'll send you whatever you want to eat."
Chi Yu instantly put on a touched expression, "Sister, you really understand me. Let me think about what to eat now."
"Chi Yu, Yan Ruo!" The two of them were stopped as they stood up after eating.
Yan Ruo turned around and looked, "Li Huiliang, what a coincidence."
Li Huiliang was accompanied by a young woman, but she was not the colleague of Chi Yu with whom he had a pleasant chat at Chi Yu's house last time. It seemed that she had just finished eating.
The woman next to him held his arm and looked at Yan Ruochiyu with a hint of vigilance.
"Aliang, who are they?"
Li Huiliang said with a gentle expression, "This is my fellow villager and old classmate, and also a good friend."
Then he introduced Chao Yanruo and the other two, "This is my girlfriend, Jiang Mengxi."
Yan Ruo clearly felt that when Jiang Mengxi heard the word "good friends", the way he looked at them was not right. It was like he was looking at a love rival.
However, out of politeness, I still nodded and greeted the other person.
"Hello." "Hello."
In fact, neither Yan Ruo nor Chi Yu were familiar with Li Huiliang. After graduation, apart from the class reunion, they only met for hot pot a few days ago.
They thought they could say goodbye after greeting each other, but Li Huiliang warmly invited them to have a drink.
Yan Ruo and Chi Yu were not drinkers, so they quickly refused the three offers. But Li Huiliang took out his phone directly.
He called He Hong to ask him out and made a reservation.
Even when Jiang Mengxi tugged at his sleeves several times, he ignored her, causing Yan Ruo to be glared at several times again.
Yan Ruo frowned slightly and whispered to Chi Yu in her ear. "What do they mean by this?"
Chi Yu spread his hands and said, "We'll know what's going on later."
"But why is Jiang Mengxi only glaring at you? I'm not bad looking, am I?"
Yan Ruo, “…”
Sister, why is your focus always so new?
The place where we drink is not far from the restaurant where we eat, and we can get there in just one step on the accelerator.
Less than ten minutes after they sat down, He Hong came over.
Chi Yu asked, "Squad Leader, you're pretty quick. Did you make an appointment to have a drink with Li Huiliang a long time ago?"
He Hong shook his head, "No, Li Huiliang just happened to know where I was having dinner nearby."
Everyone was an acquaintance, and it wasn't a business occasion that required any socializing, although Li Huiliang strongly recommended several very expensive wines.
Yan Ruo and the others still insisted on ordering two bottles of low-alcohol fruit wine.
Chi Yu said, "Old classmate, we have to go to work tomorrow, so it's better to drink less. We can chat together."
Li Huiliang then smiled and gave up. Everyone drank some wine and talked about recent events. Although it was boring, it was nothing serious.
Even the people present could clearly feel that Li Huiliang was a little too enthusiastic towards Yan Ruo.
