506. Who to marry is not to marry
Two days passed in a flash. On Friday, in the evening, Ruan Shu went to the beauty club early.
She has always preferred men's straight trousers, no wrinkles, simple and sharp, even if she usually attends business dinners, she chooses pants and rarely wears skirts. And the dress Fu Lingyuan sent back this time is a Western-style modified cheongsam.
The cheongsam retains the slim silhouette of the old Shanghai cheongsam to the greatest extent, with velvet fabric, embroidery pattern, and small stand collar. The groundbreaking design lies in a large cut-out on the chest. With her cups, it holds just right. It is the fulfillment of what Li Qing relayed, and it fits perfectly.
With makeup, hair in a bun, and tassel earrings, everything was almost ready, and Ruan Shu headed to the location of the charity dinner.
A registration office was set up at the door, and Ruan Shu handed out the invitation letter that Fu Lingyuan had given her in the dress box, as well as the auction items she had prepared herself. After taking the electronic auction card, she walked inside.
In the venue, most of them are Haicheng's famous ladies and high-ranking children, Ruan Shu and the former have rarely intersected and can't speak at all, and there are several young masters in the latter who she once had a "friendship". For today's purpose, she didn't step forward to say hello, and turned to another group of people-several CEOs of the Haicheng business community.
The opportunity is rare, Lin Chengzhi was close to greeting people, and when he saw Ruan Shu's figure, he was very surprised: "How did you get in?" β
"Uncle reacted so much, but he lost his temper." Ruan Shu curled the corners of his lips slightly, "To be able to come here, of course, there is an invitation." β
"How do you have an invitation?" After asking, Lin Chengzhi immediately thought of a possibility, and hurriedly glanced around Ruan Shu, but he didn't see anyone, frowned and asked, "Who are you here with?" β
"What does the eldest uncle think?" Ruan Shu pretended to blink mysteriously, and then swept past him, greeting several presidents as the president of the Lin family.
In a venue where the division of roles between men and women is clear, she is like an outlier. The gazes cast at her by the ladies were almost disdainful and contemptuous.
Ruan Shu didn't pay much attention to it, and after turning around a little, he looked at the time. The auction is about to start, and Fu Lingyuan hasn't shown up yet?
Just as he was thinking about it, a female voice sounded in his ears: "Miss Lin Er?" β
Ruan Shu looked up in response, and what caught his eye was the face of a strange woman.
"Or should I call you Mr. Ruan?" The other party smiled and asked.
It's like a mockery............
Ruan Shu glanced at a few women who were looking this way not far away, and probably guessed in her heart that the person in front of her was coming to trouble her as a representative. Maintaining a smile, she said lightly: "Miss Lin Er or Mr. Ruan can do it." β
"That's it......" The other party dragged the long sound image and thought about it, and finally didn't choose the last two titles: "I'll still call you Miss Ruan." β
Ruan Shu bowed slightly: "Feel free." β
"I have admired Miss Ruan's name for a long time, the 'model' of Haicheng women, I can meet you here, I can't come to see you." The other party said, took two glasses of wine from the dining table on the side, and handed one to Ruan Shu, "It's nice to meet you, make a friend?" β
Looking at the other party's hand holding the cup, Ruan Shu squinted slightly, smiled, and slowly raised his hand, before she could touch the cup. The other party's hand suddenly let go, and he exhaled softly, accompanied by the crisp sound of the cup falling to the ground and shattering.
Ruan Shu quickly took two steps back, and unexpectedly hit a warm and solid wall of flesh behind him.
"What's wrong?" A familiar voice came from the back of her head.
Ruan Shu tilted her head, and Fu Lingyuan was already standing beside her, his dark eyes fixed on her face.
He wore a straight and formal three-piece smoke-gray suit tonight, wrapping his long and straight body, and a red structured tie, showing a sense of leisure in his calmness, not too rigid like other men.
"Fu San?" The woman opposite was both suspicious and surprised, her eyes swept over Fu Lingyuan's arm on Ruan Shu's waist, and mocked, "I thought it was just a rumor, it turns out that you are really involved with this woman." β
Fu Lingyuan still had a smile on his face, but there was a fleeting chill in his eyes: "Miss Liu, please pay attention to your wording." The Liu family has opened so many schools, and their daughter's upbringing is not enough, are you sure that they will not mislead their children? β
The other party's expression changed slightly, and he moved his lips as if he wanted to choke Fu Lingyuan again, and the few backups behind her hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away. Ruan Shu heard them muttering nothing more than "Don't provoke Fu San", and that tone was as if Fu Lingyuan was a plague god.
"Are you alright?" Fu Lingyuan lowered his eyes and asked her.
The movement here has attracted everyone's attention, including Lin Chengzhi. Ruan Shu calmly accepted countless uncertain scrutiny and replied, "It's okay." I guessed what she was trying to do. β
As she spoke, she glanced at the debris on the ground. The waiter is cleaning up.
Fu Lingyuan hooked his lips: "So my hero saves the beauty is meaningless." Even if I don't show up, you can settle it yourself. β
Ruan Shu smiled, only acquiesced, and asked, "Why is it late?" β
"Let's go, go and sit down first, and then talk." Fu Lingyuan grabbed her waist and led her to their seats.
The most centered cardinal position.
Lu Shaocong and his mixed-race female companion were already there, and greeted her, "Miss Ruan." β
"Lu Shao." Ruan Shu bowed his head.
Fu Lingyuan sat down next to Lu Shaocong, and Ruan Shu sat down next to Fu Lingyuan.
She glanced at it quietly, but she didn't see any trace similar to Lu Zhenhua.
The small movement fell into Fu Lingyuan's eyes, and he whispered in her ear: "No need to look for it." Lu Zhenhua has something to do temporarily, and he won't appear tonight. The dinner was hosted by Lu Shaocong. β
Ruan Shu looked at him, his eyes were sharp: "Don't worry, you have positioned Lu Shaocong from the beginning, which is a very correct choice." β
"Thank you, third brother, for mentioning." Ruan Shu smiled.
After a while, the host opened his remarks, and Lu Shaocong got up from his seat and took the stage to deliver a speech. Then the auction officially began, and the photos of the auction items were presented and auctioned one after another, and most of them were jewelry and antique paintings.
Fu Lingyuan and Lu Shaocong didn't bid much, but they talked about the auction items on the stage together.
After a while, Ruan Shu said hello to Fu Lingyuan and left his seat to go to the bathroom.
When he came out, he stood in the aisle with Tan Fei: "Long time no see, Miss Lin Er." β
As soon as he entered the venue earlier, Ruan Shu found Tan Fei among the children of the high-ranking cadres. Since the unhappiness of playing back to the game, I haven't seen it for more than half a month.
"Tan Shao." Ruan Shu smiled slightly, and didn't plan to say much to him, so he turned sideways to go out.
Tan Fei immediately moved a step and blocked her way: "It's so ruthless, don't you stay and catch up with me?" β
Ruan Shu's arm was lowered as soon as possible.
The window in the back seat was rolled down halfway, revealing Lin Chengzhi's face, and greeted Tang Xianyang with a pleasant face: "It's Xianyang, I haven't seen you for a few days." β
"Uncle Lin." Tang Xianyang greeted politely.
"Are you sending Xiao Shu back? Why are you standing here and not going in and sitting? You haven't had dinner yet, have you? That's exactly together. Lin Chengzhi warmly invited.
Tang Xianyang shook his head and declined: "You're welcome, thank you Uncle Lin, I still have some things." β
"That's it......" Lin Chengzhi's expression flashed with a hint of regret, and then smiled, "I originally wanted to ask you when you and Xiao Shu settled down." I don't know where you're now. But you can't just fall in love, you have to plan for the future. β
Tang Xianyang's expression was immediately embarrassed, and he subconsciously looked at Ruan Shu.
Ruan Shu's pupils were light, and he smiled in an instant, and said to Lin Chengzhi: "Uncle, you and your aunt have always misunderstood the relationship between me and Xianyang. He and I are just good friends. β
Lin Chengzhi was slightly stunned, glanced at Tang Xianyang, who had a stiff expression, and quickly shook his head regretfully: "You young people, you are always unqualified. That's it......" waved his hand, and then said, "Xianyang, you will still come to our house often to play in the future." Say hello to Professor Tang on my behalf. β
"Yes, Uncle Lim." Tang Xianyang should take it down.
Lin Chengzhi bowed slightly, and the car continued to drive inside.
Ruan Shu looked back at Tang Xianyang and said coldly: "I'll give you three days to break off with her." You have to make her die for you. β
"Shu ......" Tang Xianyang hesitated.
Ruan Shu's eyes were clear: "She is not suitable for you at all." You don't fit in with her at all. Her feelings for you now are not so much liking as unwilling infatuation. Xianyang, don't forget, the parents of our two families originally intended to match you and her, but I suddenly intervened. β
"It's not you who interveneβ" Tang Xianyang wanted to correct her wording, but Ruan Shu seemed to be completely inappropriate, and continued with a resolute expression: "I'll leave the ugly words here today, if you don't break off with her, then our friendship for more than ten years will end here." Either way, you don't want to be together! β
In the villa, Lin Chengzhi and Wang Yufen were preparing to eat at the dining table in the living room, and when they saw Ruan Shu coming back, Lin Chengzhi called her: "You and Xianyang just broke up?" β
He was sitting in the car, and he actually saw her raising her hand to slap Tang Xianyang, not to mention that the atmosphere between the two was so wrong. He must have expected that there was a conflict, so he deliberately stopped to say hello. She simply denied even the relationship between the former couple.
Ruan Shu replied with a smile: "Uncle, as I said, Xianyang and I were originally just friends. It's just that the relationship is too good, that's why you misunderstood. β
Lin Chengzhi didn't fight her like this, and sighed along with her words: "Xianyang is a good child." I thought you could do it. β
Wang Yufen walked over from the dining table and said, "Just me, it's Xiao Shu who should take care of it." Women, it's better to have self-esteem and self-love, otherwise it's hard to find even your in-laws. I mentioned Xiao Shu a little bit yesterday to Mrs. Liu, who specializes in matchmaking, and they directly changed the topic. β
"I'm really tired that my aunt bothered me." Ruan Shu brushed his hair and changed his words, "But my mother is still alive, and my aunt ran to find a matchmaker for me, did she overstep her bounds?" β
"At this time, you know how to move your mother out." Wang Yufen covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was mocking the relationship between Ruan Shu and Zhuang Peiyu's mother and daughter.
Lin Chengzhi answered: "Xiao Shu, we also care about you." β
"Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern, you said, only help me with the wind, don't you?" Ruan Shu used Lin Chengzhi's words to go back, and was about to go upstairs, but Lin Chengzhi asked: "Have I heard some rumors these days, saying that you are entangled with the third child of the Fu family?" β
Ruan Shu's figure froze, and he said meaningfully: "Oh? β
When I went to the club to find Tan Fei that day, there were a lot of people in the box, and it was completely expected that the ambiguity between her and Fu Lingyuan would be rumored. Lin Chengzhi only came to ask her today, I don't know if the speed of the rumors is too slow, or his source is too unsmooth.
Lin Chengzhi noticed her look, and was probably sure that this matter was true, and frowned: "Xiao Shu, don't blame the eldest uncle for talking too much, let's recognize our own identities, there are some people we can't afford to provoke." Let's not talk about Fu San himself as a master who has gone astray and can't come back, let's just say that the Fu family, don't you know how high the courtyard is? How can you look down on us? Uncle knows that you may have been in a bit of a hurry lately, but you can't just climb the branches. β
Speaking of the back, he was quite serious, as if he really thought about her. Ruan Shu clasped his arms and smiled: "Uncle, haven't you just educated everyone in the company, 'instead of wasting time talking about small business, it is better to concentrate on making big orders'?" My uncle was able to bring in Sanxin Group, which gave me great encouragement. β
She tapped her finger to the sky, and smiled more brightly: "What about Gao Zhi?" You have to try, what if you make it to the top? β
The implication was obvious, Lin Chengzhi's expression was imperceptible, and he smiled instantly: "Xiao Shu, a woman's capital is limited. You've spent a lot of time over the years, haven't you? He looked her up and down, and said meaningfully, "If you fall off the high branch again, it hurts." β
"Thank you, uncle, for the point." Ruan Shu was still calm, as if the oil and salt were not entering, and smiled shallowly, "When I fall, verify how much it hurts." β
After going upstairs, Ruan Shu paused slightly when he passed by Lin Miaofu's door, and was about to leave, when Lin Miaofu happened to open the door from inside. She hummed happily, coldly greeted Ruan Shu, and immediately stopped.
"In a good mood?" Ruan Shu stared at her ruddy face.
"Not bad." Lin Miaofu replied simply, and immediately bypassed Ruan Shu, "I'll go down to eat with my mother." β
Even the footsteps are brisk.
Ruan Shu's eyes stared at her back coldly, and her lips straightened.
At noon the next day, in the office, the secretary told Ruan Shu that there was a gentleman surnamed Li downstairs in Ruan Shu's company through an internal line. Ruan Shu was slightly confused, and after a while, he only searched in his mind for the Sven man named "Li Qing" under Fu Lingyuan's hand.
As it turned out, it was indeed Li Qing. and Zhao Thirteen.
They were here to return her car.
After Fu Lingyuan sent her home that night, he asked for her car keys, saying that he would ask someone to drive back the car she left in the south of the city, so as to save her trouble and make a special trip.
As a result, it was delivered every other day.
When Li Qing handed over the car keys to Ruan Shu, he took the initiative to explain the problem: "The boss found that your car has not been maintained for a long time, and there are a lot of small problems, knowing that Sister Ruan, you are usually busy and can't spare time, so I helped you send the car to the depot for maintenance yesterday." β
"Oh, thank you, boss." As she spoke, Ruan Shu was about to leave, and Zhao Shisan hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Ruan, wait." β
"Huh?"
"This is what our boss wants us to give you." Zhao 13 handed the delicate dress box to Ruan Shu.
Ruan Shu frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.
"Boss said, please remember the Friday night appointment." Zhao Shisan's face was full of nervousness, and he didn't know what he was nervous about. Ruan Shu reacted, smiled lightly, and pushed the dress box back: "No need." I will prepare the dress myself. β
"Sister Ruan, the boss said that this was specially selected by him, no matter the style and size, it is tailor-made and fits perfectly, please wear it with confidence." Li Qing on the side spoke and smiled faintly.
Ruan Shu: "......"
Eventually, she took it. Of course, it wasn't because of the sentence "tailor-made, perfect fit" that Li Qing relayed, but because of "deliberately selected" - she thought that there might be some intention hidden in the clothes.
Back in the office, Ruan Shu put aside the few documents he was looking at for the time being, clicked on the hidden folder on the computer, and flipped out the contract that had been drawn up yesterday.
After a moment of thought, she opened the webpage and entered the e-shop.
After coming out of the box, Ruan Shu went next door to find Lin Miaofu.
Lin Miaofu was lying on the sofa and sleeping deeply, covered with a long men's jacket that covered her thighs, so that she would not be as revealing as before.
Ruan Shu bent down and patted her face, trying to wake her up.
Lin Miaofu just turned her face and continued to sleep.
Ruan Shu looked at her coldly for a moment, helped her put her coat on, and was about to pull her up, when Fu Lingyuan, who was leaning against the door, called lazily: "Li Qing, thirteen." β
Li Qing and Zhao Shisan immediately walked in from outside and bowed politely to Ruan Shu. Especially Zhao Shisan, the angle of his bow is almost ninety, and his rough face shows a nervousness and ...... that are completely inconsistent with his temperament Fear?
Ruan Shu frowned, only feeling that his eyes were strange.
The two of them, as before, set up Lin Miaofu on the left and right.
After they helped send Lin Miaofu to her car, Ruan Shu sat in the driver's seat and said goodbye to Fu Lingyuan through the open window: "Thank you, third brother, tonight." β
Fu Lingyuan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, squinting at the white smoke scattered in mid-air, his expression was obscure.
"Boss, the master is still waiting for you."
Hearing Li Qing's reminder, Fu Lingyuan turned around, and his eyes stagnated on Zhao Shisan's body intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Shisan almost instantly clamped his anus, his feet were brought together, his back straightened, his arms were tightened on both sides of his trouser legs, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead: "Boss, I was wrong!" β
Fu Lingyuan chuckled and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's wrong...... Wrong...... It's ...... wrong" Zhao Shisan blushed and repeated it three times without saying why.
"Then you first think about what you are doing wrong." After speaking, Fu Lingyuan walked back to the bar.
Zhao Shisan was stunned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the regular meeting on Monday morning, the entire conference room was under low air pressure.
Ruan Shu sat at the front of the conference table, with no expression on his face, holding a latest sales report in his hand, his eyes quickly swept over everyone, and then he threw it on the table, his movements seemed to be casual, but the sound of paper friction was not small: "Come, tell me, why did you lose these eight orders?" But all of them are partners that our company has cooperated with for more than ten years. β
The head and deputy head of the sales department glanced at each other, and no one wanted to speak first for a while.
Ruan Shu has always treated people with a smile, although often that smile is just her habit, which seems to be approachable, but in fact it has a strong alienation. Because of this, when she speaks expressionlessly, she gives people a sense of oppression. For example, the situation in front of you.
"Nobody wants to speak first, does they?" Ruan Shu leaned back a little, lifted his left leg lightly, put it on his right leg, folded his legs, put one hand on the handle of the chair, and tapped the table with the other, looking at the supervisor Li Mao.
The sales department is divided into two teams, and the director Li Mao and the A team led by him are her own people, who have opened up many new markets for the company over the years. But in fact, the list that was lost this time was the responsibility of the deputy director's team. And the deputy director is Lin Chengzhi's person.
was named, Li Mao didn't panic, stood up and replied, "It's because we didn't think about it." In the last two or three years, these partners have offered to lower the points, but we have not agreed. Poaching the list is a few small start-up companies, which are very desperate for performance and are willing to be lowered. So we didn't compete. β
"Ever offered to lower your points?" Ruan Shu frowned, "Why didn't I know about this?" β
Li Mao was silent.
Lin Chengzhi, who had been pretending to be out of the way, finally spoke up at this time: "I am dealing with this matter." β
"Oh?" Ruan Shu responded and set his eyes on Lin Chengzhi.
Lin Chengzhi sat in the chair, didn't even move, and his posture was casual: "They are indeed our old customers, but because of this, our products are being updated, and the production cost is higher than in the past, but the terms of cooperation with them have hardly changed, and now they are still required to reduce the points." If we don't refuse, won't we make them think that our Lin family's business depends on them to survive? β
He smiled disappreciatively: "Actually, it doesn't matter if these companies don't cooperate with us anymore, it's just a small business of hundreds of thousands anyway." Instead of wasting time talking about small orders that don't have much impact, it's better to concentrate on getting a big one. β
Separated from a distance not far away, Ruan Shu and Lin Chengzhi looked at each other and smiled brightly: "What Mr. Lin said is indeed reasonable, but not everyone in our company is as capable as Mr. Lin, and even the investment of Sanxin Group can be pulled." β
Lin Chengzhi heard her taunt and planned to fight back at her, but Ruan Shu had already turned his face away.
She put down her overlapping legs, got up, leaned forward, put her hands into fists on the table, glanced at everyone, and said in a cold voice: "If even a small order can be snatched away by a little-known small company, do you dare to guarantee that the big order can be won smoothly when it is delivered to you?" β
A rhetorical question came out, and the people below didn't dare to come out.
After the meeting, Ruan Shu returned to his office, threw a stack of papers on the desk, and "snapped" like a drum on the heart of the assistant who followed him.
The assistant hurriedly walked to the coffee table, made a pot of tea for Ruan Shu, poured a cup and sent it to her.
