"Then how does Miss Ruan plan to cooperate?" Cao Wangde asked.

"Boss Cao, you know very well, because my previous relationship with the Lin clan is there, so it is obviously not appropriate to openly compete with the Lin clan." Ruan Shu hinted at this first.

Cao Wangde smiled knowingly: "Cao understands." ”

"Thank you, Boss Cao, for your understanding." Ruan Shu sighed comfortably, and then said, "Actually, my way of cooperation is very simple. Let me participate in the competition of your team, if it fails, it will not have the slightest impact on your Huaxing, if it succeeds, I hope I can become your only sub-agent in this city. ”

"Miss Ruan already has her own new company?" Cao Wangde asked.

"In preparation." Ruan Shu understood what he was worried about, after all, her company had not officially opened yet, and it was really ridiculous to talk to others about sub-agency without even a shadow. But there is no way, now that time is pressing, she can only sell her previous face, "Boss Cao, it's still the same sentence, my name 'Ruan Shu', this person, whether it is worthy of you Huaxingbo Yibo, it depends on you." ”

But Cao Wangde shook his head: "What Cao really wants to ask is, is Miss Ruan sure that as long as there is a sub-agent in this city?" ”

Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, and quickly laughed: "Boss Cao is really refreshing, are you sure you don't want to go back and think about it carefully?" We haven't even talked about the exact price yet. ”

Boss Cao waved his hand and responded with Ruan Shu's own words: "Miss Ruan, you yourself are the biggest guarantor." Miss Ruan, in addition to having internal channels for this product, you also have a great advantage, that is, your understanding of Lin's. Being able to cooperate with Miss Ruan is a blessing for Cao and a blessing for Huaxing. ”

"Boss Cao is too polite." Ruan Shu smiled lightly and picked up the sake with both hands, clinked glasses with Cao Wangde gently, don't come back to sip the wine in the glass, and couldn't help but quietly turn around his thoughts - it was too smooth...... Smoothly reveals a strange ......

Of course, until the end, Ruan Shu didn't show the plan to Cao Wangde, and Cao Wangde didn't ask her for it, but the two discussed the specific details of cooperation, and Li Mao naturally became the most suitable person for the handover of the two sides.

After eating about the same meal, Ruan Shu didn't stay long and took the lead in saying goodbye.

As soon as she left with her front foot, Cao Wangde got up, bypassed the screen behind Ruan Shu's previous position, and called softly in a low voice: "Second master." ”

The door connected to the next box immediately opened from the other end, revealing Eiichi's burly figure and bald scarred face.

Then Rong turned to the side and got out of the way.

Chen Qingzhou sat at the table and drank wine: "Do you know that you have just exposed a lot of horses' feet? ”

Cao Wangde hung his head slightly respectfully: "I'm sorry second master." ”

Rong Yi on the side interjected: "Second master, with the sensitivity of the eldest lady, I'm afraid it won't be long before I notice it." ”

Chen Qingzhou pondered for a moment and told Cao Wangde: "You try to grasp the scale as much as possible, at least it has to be delayed until the agency has been vested this time." Let her be aware of it. Otherwise, according to her temperament, she would rather not have this agent than have anything to do with me. She has put in so much effort, and she is bound to win, don't let her start all over again because of me. This supplement is not really our goal. If she wants to, she will help. ”

"Okay, second master, I understand."

……

That night, Li Mao took the initiative to contact Ruan Shu.

Although he had already heard Cao Wangde explain it in person, Li Mao still couldn't believe it: "Mr. Ruan, do you really want to join forces with us to seize agency power from the Lin family?" ”

"Is there a big problem?" Ruan Shu actually didn't quite understand where the point he couldn't believe was, "There is no eternal number in the mall, who is not this one or that?" Now that I and the Lin family have the same thing we want, do I have to give it up because I used to be the president of the Lin family? ”

Li Mao paused, hesitated, and said, "I understand the truth, but Mr. Ruan, you are a member of the Lin family after all." The most important thing is that a large part of Lin's ability to be where it is today is due to your hard work over the years. If you work against the Lin family, isn't it the same as working against yourself? ”

Ruan Shu corrected: "First of all, I didn't work against the Lin family, I just happened to have a conflict of interest with the Lin family on this agency, and I didn't have a conflict with the Lin family in other aspects. ”

"Besides, I didn't do anything with myself. Lin did carry a lot of my hard work, and a large part of the reason why I was reluctant to give it up in the first place was this. But recently I've adjusted myself and figured it out, or maybe it's just giving me the opportunity to break through myself, a new company, a new idea, a new direction of development. ”

"In any case, the Lin family was taken over by me halfway, and it didn't all belong to me. Now I'm starting my own business from scratch, and it's more difficult and challenging than before. If you, as a bystander, think that the Lin family under my management is successful, then I will definitely be able to create a better company than the Lin family, and a company that only carries my personal will from beginning to end. ”

Li Mao was silent on the phone for a long time, and when he spoke again, he was completely full of laughter: "Mr. Ruan, I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with you again." ”

Ruan Shu also smiled: "Well, I'm also very happy to have the opportunity to work with you again." ”

For the next week, Ruan Shu met with Li Mao almost every night.

Except for Cao Wangde, the boss, and Li Mao, the marketing director, no one else in Huaxing knew about her participation. And Cao Wangde has a special trust in her, and he is also very open-handed.

Because it was inconvenient for her to show up, Li Mao basically brought the things that had just been discussed with other members of the team during the day after getting off work in the evening to come and hammer with her again.

And every time she and Li Mao get together to discuss the plan, Ruan Shu always recalls the days when she was still in the Lin family, and she stayed up late and worked overtime with everyone in the marketing department several times.

"What is Mr. Ruan thinking?" Li Mao put the newly bought coffee in front of her and looked stunned.

Ruan Shu smiled faintly: "After thinking about it, my new company hopes to recruit employees who have signed a contract with me, otherwise the transition period is really difficult." ”

Li Mao didn't know what he was thinking, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Mr. Ruan, in fact, I am very willing to continue to follow you." ”

Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Don't, I can't pay you the salary Huaxing gave you." ”

Li Mao also shook his head: "Mr. Ruan, you know, in your place, I don't care about this. The most important thing is to be able to work with you. From the very beginning, you took a fancy to me and grew up with me. ”

Ruan Shu likes the words "grow together" that he uses.

When Li Mao joined the Lin family, it was almost the second year that she officially took over the Lin family, and she was also an inexperienced newcomer. So many old employees of the Lin family are either Lin Chengzhi's, or they are in a wait-and-see state from a neutral place, and it is very difficult for her to develop her own people, so she can only find new employees from the outside step by step and slowly cultivate. Li Mao is one of them, and she put it in the marketing department.

Now I can't remember what qualities Li Mao liked at the beginning, but she is very grateful to Li Mao, she can choose to believe that she was still weak and unstable at the beginning, and she was unswervingly not captured by Lin Chengzhi, and to this day, even if she leaves the Lin family, she still supports her so much.

"So give me face?" Ruan Shu curled the corners of his lips slightly, "I have made up the idea of agency, if I take you away again, I will not have the face to see Boss Cao again in the future." ”

Li Mao opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something more, Ruan Shu took the lead in turning the topic back: "You guys are going to bid the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Mao glanced at her, swallowed the original words, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"These details discussed tonight, you can listen to other people's thoughts at tomorrow's meeting, and they should be finalized."

"Well, let's see tomorrow Boss Cao will make a decision. Then I'll bring you the final draft tomorrow. ”

Ruan Shu waved his hand: "I don't have any other ideas, you can send me a scan, save yourself from running around again, blame the trouble." I've worked hard for you these past few days. It's almost time, so I'll go back first and wait for your good news. ”

"Okay." Li Mao stood up and sent him off, "Mr. Ruan is careful on the road. ”

Ruan Shu picked up his bag and left his seat, and smiled: "Actually, I have always wanted to say that I am not President Ruan for a long time." In the future, just call me 'Ruan Shu'. ”

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but Li Mao behind her called her: "Ruan Shu." ”

Probably not used to calling her by her name like this, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted back and said, "Let's come out tomorrow to meet and talk, I invite you to have a serious meal, these days let you drink coffee and eat sandwiches with me in this coffee spot." ”

Ruan Shu was about to say no.

Li Mao expected that she would refuse, and took the lead in saying: "I've known each other for so many years, don't you even let me invite a meal?" You've said before that you'd treat me like a friend rather than a mere subordinate. ”

Ruan Shu thought about it again, and finally nodded: "That's okay." Broke. ”

Li Mao smiled.

……

Back at home in the psychological counseling room, Ruan Shu put down his bag, and the first thing he did was to habitually walk over and open the window, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the tree outside the window.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

After being caught by her six days ago the night, Fu Lingyuan has not appeared again. Just like when the two had just divorced, they didn't contact each other for most of the month.

Very good. This is exactly what she wants......

Nodding, Ruan Shu closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, lay back on the bed, leaned into the arms of the big bear, and then took out his mobile phone to read the news.

These days, the open and secret battles between Qingbang and Longhubang are a bit big.

To put it simply, Longhubang is doing things on Qingbang's territory, Qingbang is not convinced, and he also goes to Longhubang's territory to do things. came and went, from the fights and brawls between the younger brothers on both sides, to the smashing of the field more and more seriously.

Today, Qingbang's younger brother was arrested by the police for gathering a crowd to gamble, and tomorrow several horses in Longhubang will enter the bureau because of walking, smuggling, and smuggling. And immediately afterwards, on the territory of Qingbang and Longhubang, there are drug dens that are taken every day. Although they are not too large, for the anti-narcotics brigade, it is a frequent good news.

In the good news of the anti-narcotics brigade, one person can always be seen, that is Jiao Yang, almost all of the tasks he led the team to perform, and it seems to be very smooth.

Ruan Shu swiped the screen, only to find out that the latest news about this aspect today is that a drug factory was seized, and Long Batian, the eldest brother of Long Hubang, was taken to the bureau by the police for questioning - it seems that it was retaliated against by Qingbang, and the two sides are fighting more and more......

I didn't see any more news about Qingbang, she was more concerned about C'Blue, and the place where the accident happened did not include several big places such as C'blue for the time being. Lin Miaofu is inside...... Ruan Shuji remembered that seven days had passed since her ten-day appointment with Fu Lingyuan, but there was still no movement.

Gathering her mind, she turned to the news about Sanxin Group, there was no important news, but an amateur on Weibo photographed Lu Zhenhua accompanying Meng Huan to the hospital to give birth.

Meng Huan waits for delivery......

Ruan Shu calculated a little, and really, she was about to forget that Meng Huan, the child, was indeed almost time to be born.

Putting down the phone, Ruan Shu turned sideways, looked up at the big bear's face, pursed her lips slightly, and patted its nose - a few days after moving it to the bed, she felt that she seemed to understand a little bit why so many little girls like such big dolls: sleeping next to it is indeed quite soft and comfortable, and it can still let you take it out when you are unhappy.

slapped twice and got up from the bed, and collided with the aggrieved eyes of Koko in the corner.

Ruan Shu walked over and took a look, and sure enough, the food bowl was empty again, and there was a lot of poop accumulated in the nest.

Because the little thorn had to stay for the time being, she was lazy, and finally took some time to reluctantly clean up its nest, and then, the weather was indeed getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature in the corridor outside was too high, so she was afraid that it would accidentally get heat stroke, so she allowed it to continue to live in the house.

Although it put its running wheel back, it still runs every day, and she has some control over its diet, but its size can only be said to have maintained no fat, but it has never seen it thin. She suspected that it was born with a fat physique.

Glancing at its sleeping bag, Ruan Shu suddenly remembered that he had been busy bidding for health products these days and had forgotten about Yan Xi's number.

Put the food in Koko's food bowl, wash his hands, hurriedly went to get his mobile phone, flipped out the phone book, thought about it for a moment, and first pointed to a tentative word: "Yan Xi? ”

Unexpectedly, he replied very quickly: "Big sister? ”

"Hmm."

"It's been many days, and I thought the big sister hadn't seen the note."

"Sorry, I'm too busy, so I just contacted you." After sending it, Ruan Shu quickly continued to ask, "Why did you secretly leave me a number?" ”

Yan Xi replied after a few seconds: "Big sister, are you free now?" ”

"Free."

"Can the big sister take Keke out for a night run now? Ah Needle wanted to meet Keke...... probably didn't know how to write the name "Keke", so he used pinyin instead.

Ruan Shu looked at this sentence on the screen and raised his eyebrows slightly-it's not that Ah Zheng wants to see Koko...... Is this kid looking for her?

She confirms first: "Your mother is not there?" ”

"Well, no."

Really. Ruan Shu continued typing: "But you must know that your mother does not want us to have contact again. ”

Before sending, she paused her fingers, thought about it for a moment, and finally deleted the words and retyped: "Okay, I'll go over now." It takes about fifteen minutes to arrive. ”

"Good! I'm waiting for my big sister to come! There is also a smiley face emoji at the end of the sentence.

Today's children play with these electronic devices at such a young age. Ruan Shu sighed in his heart, and did not waste time, changed his clothes and shoes, and went out quickly with Koko.

In the old place, I saw Yan Xi's figure from a distance.

Yan Xi had been looking in this direction, but he found her for the first time, and stood up to greet her: "Big sister." ”

Ruan Shu frowned slightly: "Are you alone?" What about your babysitter? Do you usually like such a person to go out? ”

Fu Qingci's worries are right, after all, he is a child, so it is very unsafe.

Yan Xi shook his head: "No, I don't usually run around casually." ”

Ruan Shu's brows frowned even deeper when he heard this: "Next time, don't sneak out to see me with an adult behind your back like this." ”

After exiting, she realized that her tone was not well controlled. Soon added slowly: "Babysitter like you and your mother will be worried." ”

"I understand. But......" Yan Xi hesitated and did not finish, as if he was not ready to speak to her.

Seeing this, Ruan Shu was circling around in his thoughts.

Yan Xi first shifted the topic to the hedgehog body, stared at Koko and said, "Koko is handsome again." ”

Look at how sweet his mouth is, what he said is not "handsome", but "handsome again", as if he was handsome before praising it. Ruan Shu lowered his eyes and glanced at the little thorn Lang - this little guy, for the first time in his life, he was involved with the word "handsome", right?

Here, Yan Xi had already taken the initiative to take Koko's sleeping bag from Ruan Shu's hand: "Ah Needle, I'm meeting Koko again." ”

The situation of the two hedgehogs was similar to before, and Koko couldn't wait to lean out half of his body, obviously wanting to go to the needle. Ah Zhen was still a quiet beauty, staring at Koko with dark eyes.

Yan Xi sat down on the bench, holding the two little ones side by side, and did not stop Koko from approaching Ah Needle.

Ruan Shu watched with his hands on the sidelines, and said deliberately: "Didn't you regret that you didn't want to adopt Koko?" Why did you let me take it out to see Ah Needle again? ”

Yan Xi flashed his eyes slightly, and replied quite confidently: "My mother took Ah Needle to the store once, and Ah Needle didn't take a fancy to other hedgehogs. But big sister, you see, she is not exclusive to Koko. ”

Ruan Shu glanced at it, and then realized that Koko had completely left his sleeping bag and came to Ah Needle, and the two little thorns were looking at each other, but no one was motionless, and he didn't know if he was making eye contact.

She doesn't understand the emotional path of the hedgehog class, so she doesn't understand the look in front of her, whether it is as Yan Xi said, they are looking at the right eye.

But the point is not in this, but in the real purpose of Yan Xi calling her out. Wandering around his thoughts, Ruan Shu took the opportunity to say: "Then if you decide to want it again, I will leave it here for you, and I will go back by myself." ”

With that, she turned her head and walked forward, as if she was really going to leave.

"Big sister!" Yan Xi hurriedly chased after him, "Big sister, don't leave yet." ”

Ruan Shu stood still: "What else is there?" ”

"I ......" Yan Xi was still hesitant, hanging his head, as if struggling with something, and raised his head again after a moment, "Big sister, why do you know my mother?" Are you friends with my mom? ”

This question...... Ruan Shu hesitated - since Fu Qingci didn't take the initiative to tell him, he didn't want him to know. She couldn't go against Fu Qingci's wishes. However, he just wanted to figure out the relationship between her and Fu Qingci as simple as that?

Seeing her concerns, Yan Xi said: "Big sister, I promise that our conversation is just a secret between the two of us, and I will treat it as if I haven't heard it after listening to it, and I will be very careful not to leak it in front of my mother." I even emptied the text messages we just sent. ”

As he spoke, he solemnly stretched out a little finger to her, wanting to hook and seal with her.

Ruan Shu naturally didn't play with him about children's games, and thought about it, considering that it didn't involve his life experience, so he replied simply: "I'm not friends with your mother." ”

"How did you and my mom meet, big sister?" Yan Xi's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ruan Shu felt that his expectation was strange, so he didn't answer, and asked, "Tell me first, your name is really Yan Xi?" ”

Probably didn't understand why she asked such a question, Yan Xi showed a hint of confusion and responded: "Yes, my name is Yan Xi." ”

He grabbed her hand and scribbled the words in her palm.

Ruan Shu frowned slightly: "Your surname is 'Yan'?" ”

Yan Xi nodded.

Ruan Shu thought about it: "Why don't you have the same surname as your mother?" ”

"Big sister wants to ask, why don't I have the surname Fu?" Yan Xi asked rhetorically.

Ruan Shu's heart moved slightly-she was actually not sure, in addition to not knowing Chen Qingzhou, did he not know the Fu family.

Yan Xi seemed to sense that she wanted to ask the Fu family, and the catalog looked at her hesitantly: "Could it be that the eldest sister has something to do with my grandfather's family?" That's why I met my mom? ”

"Did your mother mention your grandfather to you?"

Yan Xi nodded: "I know." My mom just wanted me to stay here so I wouldn't be discovered by my grandfather. ”

Ruan Shu raised his eyebrows in response - Fu Qingci still told him this?

"If I have a relationship with your grandfather's family, and you still talk to me so much, aren't you afraid that I will go to your grandfather's house to inform?"

"Big sister and my mom are talking alone, and they're talking about not revealing that I'm here, right?" Yan Xi smiled.

Ruan Shu: "......" is still really transparent, no wonder he is not afraid to find her.

"What is the relationship between the big sister and my grandfather's family?" Yan Xi looked at her and guessed, "I know I have a little aunt, and the big sister must not be." So what does it have to do with my two uncles? ”

Fu Qingci even told his family members to him? Ruan Shuzheng was surprised, so he heard Yan Xi say next: "Could it be that the eldest sister is my aunt?" ”

The word "aunt" was quite unfamiliar to her. Ruan Shu reacted for several seconds before he came around.

Yan Xi could see something from her expression: "Is it really my aunt?" ”

"But is it the eldest aunt or the youngest aunt?" He asked.

Ruan Shu did not respond.

"Auntie? Auntie? Yan Xi called both titles once, and then smiled, "It turned out to be my little aunt." ”

Ruan Shu: Do you want to guess so accurately ............ She is so mixed up that she can't even hide her expression in front of a nine-year-old child?

However, because of this, she can basically confirm that Fu Qingci did not hide too much from Yan Xi in the affairs of the Fu family. It should be to use the Fu family as an excuse to explain to Yan Xi why he had to hide. After all, Yan Xi is nine years old, and he looks like a human being, so it is impossible for her to make him completely confused. And he understands the reason, and he can cooperate, so it's more convenient for her to hide him......

"Then I've been shouting wrong, so I have to change my name to my aunt."

As the words came into his ears, Ruan Shu recalled his thoughts and frowned to correct: "I am no longer your little aunt." ”
