In the next few days, Ruan Shu temporarily focused on registering a new company.

Because she was troublesome, she found an agency, but before she handed things over to the agency, she still had to do some things herself, such as renting an office space.

She had no experience with this kind of thing, and part of the reason she decided to move here was to save the effort of searching and looking around. However, the office location of the new company is really not something that can be used casually, and there are a lot of various things.

Li Mao happened to call to care about her, and as soon as he heard that she was struggling with this, he immediately offered to be busy.

Ruan Shu was not reckless and did not refuse.

Li Mao is very reliable, and handed her the list of several office buildings that Shabu had selected that night, marking the advantages and disadvantages of each office building, and even the information on feng shui was remarked in detail.

The next day, he accompanied her to inspect all the office buildings she had selected.

After reading the room, the two happened to eat together, which was regarded as making up for the appointment that was temporarily cooled by her that day.

Cantonese restaurant, ordered a large table of dishes, white porcelain dishes glazed fine, dishes with color and fragrance. Ruan Shu chatted with him while eating about his feelings after inspecting those office buildings, and preferred the government's newly developed creative industry park.

“…… Although the rent is a little more expensive, most of the people who settle in it are small companies that start their own businesses, and the environment and atmosphere are good. It's actually quite tiresome to always stay in a decent office building. After a pause, she added, "And it's closer to where I live now." ”

"I guess you're more likely to like it there." Li Mao leisurely rotated the fish to her, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned with a rare hint of banter, "There are a lot of promising young people, maybe you can have an encounter when you eat lunch." ”

Ruan Shu smiled and shook his head: "What is there to encounter here?" ”

Li Mao disagreed: "You are still young, beautiful and capable, there are countless suitors in the past, and now they are all single again, and it is not normal to start a new relationship?" ”

Ruan Shu lifted his eyelids and looked at him, not quite sure whether his words contained extraneous meanings, and thought for a while, feeling that it was necessary to define certain relationships clearly from the beginning.

"No kidding. After so many years of following me, you should know my character. My last marriage was a complete accident, and I realized first-hand how tiring and painful it is to have another stranger into my life, even more tiring than starting a company. I don't and don't want to develop a new relationship. ”

"Therefore, I will be very happy to be an employee of my company, because my boss will be very attentive to my work, and the situation of my last period of stay at Lin will not be repeated, I will not leave the employees at important moments, and there will not be too many negative personal emotions brought to work to cause trouble to employees." ”

Probably hearing her hint, Li Mao did not change the topic again, and teased easily: "You are wrong, you have no experience as an employee for others, and you don't understand the real thoughts of our people at all." In fact, what I am most afraid of is that a woman like you, who has no family life, will pay close attention to everyone's work, work hard yourself, and definitely encourage employees to work overtime. ”

"And what employees hate the most is overtime, and they hate paying overtime. Especially when you are older in the future, it is easy for endocrine disorders to be treated as psychopaths by employees, and become the object of collective criticism after dinner. ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

"It seems that when I recruit employees in the future, I have to add a very important point: don't be a person with a broken mouth." There was a small smile in her eyes.

Li Mao stared at her for two seconds, his eyes were slightly strange: "You...... Called you the other day and felt like you weren't in a good mood. But when I came out today, it seemed to ...... You're not in the same state as before. ”

"What's the difference?"

Li Mao was silent for a little two seconds to organize the wording: "The most obvious point is that it is more cheerful than before. ”

"Yes......" Ruan Shu took the chopsticks and flicked the meat on the fishtail in the bowl, on the thin white wrist, the chalcedony shook slightly with her movements, she lowered her eyes, and the curvature of her lips widened, "Maybe......"

After that, they talked about some of the situations on the day of the bidding, and the time was about the same, and the two broke up. Originally, the last time Li Mao said that he wanted to invite her to dinner, Ruan Shu insisted on thanking him for his favor, and finally grabbed the initiative to pay the bill.

When he left the box, he never expected to run into Zhang Weimo and Shan Minghan.

Not only the two of them, but more than a dozen people who came out of the same box as them, Ruan Shu was almost all familiar, and they were Fu Lingyuan's friends in the red circle.

"Mr. Ruan, long time no see." Zhang Weimo was the first to see her and took the initiative to say hello.

The rest of the big men were originally talking about the gossip in the recent Haicheng officialdom, but when they heard the words, they were silent for two seconds, and their eyes all turned around.

But it was not Ruan Shu who looked at it, but Ruan Shu's side, and then found that it was not Fu Lingyuan, so he resumed his speech again, and the words suspected of "Fu San" were leaked from ear to ear.

Ruan Shu bowed lightly: "Long time no see." ”

"Director Li, you're here too." Zhang Weimo looked at Li Mao again, "It turns out that you and Mr. Ruan are still in contact in private." ”

Li Maosuan was calm and calm: "After all, I was brought out by President Ruan, even if everyone is not in the same place now, the feeling of occasionally going out to eat together is still there." ”

Zhang Weimo looked back at Ruan Shu and smiled just right: "Mr. Ruan, there has been no news since you left the Lin family, and I can't even make an appointment with you." I happened to meet today, I don't know if I have time, go to the teahouse next door to sit and have a cup of tea? ”

Ruan Shu's gaze crossed Zhang Weimo and fell on Shan Minghan's body.

Everyone else had already gone out first, but Shan Minghan didn't, standing at a distance of about three steps behind Zhang Weimo, staring at Ruan Shu, his eyes were as unkind as ever.

Or, more accurately, worse.

He was not good, but Ruan Shu was not polite, and nodded as if he was nothing, and immediately looked back at Zhang Weimo: "It's not too early, let's make an appointment another day." You're not waiting for you. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Weimo turned his head to look at Shan Minghan, with a happy smile on his face. She didn't wear makeup today, her face was plain, and the soup was empty, just like when she first met in the leisure ranch, Ruan Shu remembered that because she was still a student at that time and had not graduated, she was teased by the group of high-ranking cadres and said that from her walking posture, it could be seen that Shan Minghan had not budded her yet (can review chapter 069).

However, after all, it was not the beginning, and the feeling she gave Ruan Shu was still different. "By the way, I heard that you are already engaged?" Congratulations on being late. ”

"Mr. Ruan is polite." Zhang Weimo's smile became thicker and thicker.

It seems that her relationship with Shan Minghan is really good. Ruan Shu's mind turned, and he felt that it was really not easy for this unfinished picture, a female college student with an ordinary background could be accepted by Shan Minghan's family. Of course, it also shows that Zhang Weimo is not only attractive and capable at work, but also has a love life.

"It's time to go." Shan Minghan stepped forward and held Zhang Weimo's hand.

Zhang Weimo's expression flashed a hint of connivance and helplessness, and then said goodbye to Ruan Shu: "Then Mr. Ruan, let's make an appointment another day." ”

"Hmm." Ruan Shu said lightly, in fact, he didn't take the matter of the reappointment to heart, and was just a polite greeting.

"Goodbye, Director Li." Zhang Weimo didn't forget Li Mao next to him, and added unknowingly before leaving, "Although I am not responsible for the bidding for health care products, I heard the secretary relay it afterwards." I have a question I want to ask, is there a newcomer in Director Li's team recently? The style is not the same as ever. ”

His eyebrows jumped silently, and Ruan Shu stared at Zhang Weimo very lightly.

Zhang Weimo was staring at Li Mao.

Li Mao was not in a hurry: "Huaxing has been seeking change in stability and innovating. ”

Zhang Weimo smiled, didn't say anything more, and left with Shan Minghan.

When their figures disappeared, Li Mao frowned and said: "This fiancé of hers has a lot of support for her. ”

You don't have to ask, you can imagine it. I used to be just a girlfriend, but now I'm a fiancée. Half a foot has entered the high gate...... Ruan Shu's expression was slightly condensed.

……

The next day, Ruan Shu settled the office in a small villa on both sides in the second phase of the creative industry park, quickly signed the lease contract, and then went to the bank account and other necessary information, and handed over all the information and her personal documents to the agency. The whole process is flying fast.

The staff of the agency informed that it would be busy registering with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as soon as possible, and promised to get it done within 10 working days at the latest.

Another day, Ruan Shu and Cao Wangde met to discuss the details of the contract for the health care product sub-agent.

Cao Wangde has always been good at negotiating, and he has no opinion on the price she proposed, just saying that the contract has to wait for him to bring it back and hand it over to the lawyer for verification and processing, but in fact, it has been basically finalized.

After talking to Cao Wangde, Ruan Shu went to contact the office decoration matters, and was busy until almost evening, and then took advantage of the twilight Sihe to go to the Green Water Mansion in a low-key manner.

She didn't tell her in advance, and in fact, they had only met three or four days ago, Huang Jinrong didn't expect her to come again so soon, and was flattered, and hurriedly confessed that the kitchen had cooked several more dishes.

Ruan Shu didn't stop him, sat in the living room and chatted with him for a while, Chen Qingzhou came back, and he was a little surprised to see her.

After the three of them finished dinner, Ruan Shu followed him to the study.

The butler brought them two cups of tea as usual.

Chen Qingzhou put the small stack of documents he had just brought back on the table, pressed them under the other documents, and then turned his face back and said, "If you want to come back in the future, you might as well call home first, you have scared Uncle Rong so much, he pulled me before eating and quietly asked, is there something important about Ling Yuan again, so you come to inquire about the news." ”

Noticing that he used "back" and "home" in his words, Ruan Shu was already quite uncomfortable, and finally brought Fu Lingyuan up, she was even more embarrassed, because it was indeed the same two times before, and she heard the news from Chen Qingzhou......

Unconsciously pursed his lips, Ruan Shu didn't answer, and went straight to the point to mention the purpose of his coming today: "Do you know how Uncle Rong's son died back then?" ”

This topic obviously surprised him, Chen Qingzhou frowned lightly, and nodded: "I was only in my teens at the time, I didn't see the specific situation, I heard about it from a few adults." I've been to a funeral, and they don't even have bodies, so everyone is very uncomfortable. ”

Ruan Shu held the teacup, was silent, and asked, "Then have you seen the old photos of Uncle Rong?" Do you know that hadron has a birthmark similar to an octopus? ”

"I haven't seen old photos of Uncle Rong. But I have an impression of the birthmark you said. He played with me a lot when he was a kid, I've seen him. Chen Qingzhou was suspicious, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with that birthmark? ”

Ruan Shu took a deep breath: "I found a similar birthmark on a man's body. ”

Chen Qingzhou was stunned: "What do you mean......"

"Hmm." Ruan Shu nodded, "I suspect that Qiangzi is not dead, that man may be Qiangzi." It's a bit unbelievable, but it's not completely impossible, after all, no one has ever seen the body of a hadron back then, and some are just DNA test results. ”

Chen Qingzhou was silent for a few seconds, as if digesting this matter, and then condensed: "Who is the other party?" ”

Ruan Shu took out her mobile phone and handed him the photo of Lin Pu that she had managed to find from Lin's news.

Chen Qingzhou was stunned again: "This person is not the son of your eldest uncle in the Lin family?" ”

"Hmm. That's him. Ruan Shu had a little headache, "This is what I can't figure out at the moment." So the whole thing is kind of ridiculous. ”

Then she changed her words: "However, the birthmark on his body and on it is really very concerning." Either way, I feel the need to make sure. So I didn't reveal a word about this matter to Uncle Rong, so I'll discuss it with you first. ”

Chen Qingzhou's fingers tapped lightly on the photo on the mobile phone screen, pondered for a moment, and said: "This thing is really scratchy, so let's confirm the identity first." ”

He made a final decision: "Leave this matter to me, and I will find a way to do a paternity test for him and Uncle Rong." ”

Ruan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." ”

Chen Qingzhou's expression was extremely serious: "I hope he is not a strong son......"

Ruan Shu understood what he meant. She also hoped that it wasn't, otherwise, it would be a big deal......

"Nothing else. I'll go first. Ruan Shu took his leave.

"Hmm. I'll take you downstairs. ”

Chen Qingzhou got up, his arm accidentally knocked over the cup of tea in front of him that had not yet been touched, and the full tea overflowed onto the table.

Ruan Shu hurriedly pulled out the tissue, and when he turned his face, he saw him hug the stack of documents on the table, but he didn't hold all of them at first, but kept a part, and the top one was particularly familiar, which made her stunned.

Chen Qingzhou didn't pay attention, and hurriedly reached out to take the remaining part away.

Ruan Shu stopped him: "Wait......"

"Huh?" Chen Qingzhou asked.

Ruan Shu glanced at him and stretched out his hand towards the document in his arms.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhou guessed something, and his expression was slightly sick.

He stood still and didn't dodge, letting Ruan Shu pull out one of them and spread it out in front of him—nothing else, it was the contract she had drafted herself this morning, which she had given Cao Wangde.

She didn't say a word, she kept her posture, her face expressionless, or rather slightly cold.

knew that sooner or later she would find out one day, but Chen Qingzhou didn't expect it to be planted on his own momentary negligence, so he couldn't help sighing, pressed the wrinkles between his eyebrows, and smiled helplessly.

Although his reaction said it all, Ruan Shu still asked him to confirm: "So you are the financier behind Huaxing?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingzhou was calm and did not hide it at all.

"Huaxing's real purpose for targeting the Lin family everywhere is actually to find the transportation route of drugs and products that Lu Zhenhua put in the Lin family?" Originally, this was just a vague guess that she felt strange so she had a vague idea (you can go back to chapter 299), but now that the relationship between Chen Qingzhou and Hua Xing was revealed, Ruan Shu found that this guess had been confirmed.

"You ......" Chen Qingzhou's eyes flashed with surprise, and quickly turned into a strong appreciation, "Xiao Ruan, you are really smart." ”

"Am I smart?" Ruan Shu snorted coldly, just as her hand was sore in the air, she slammed the contract document on the table, letting the tea soak it, she laughed, "You deliberately played with me, right?!" No wonder I had such a smooth conversation with Cao Wangde! No wonder Cao Wangde is so easy to speak! It has nothing to do with my charisma at all! It's all behind your back! Interesting?! ”

"Xiao Ruan—"

"Don't call me Xiao Ruan, I'm not Xiao Ruan." Ruan Shu interrupted him.

Chen Qingzhou was not angry or annoyed, obeyed her wishes, stopped calling her, and patiently explained: "Cao Wangde is my person, yes, but to win the agency this time originally relied on your strength, and it has nothing to do with me at all." ”

"I didn't expect you to be interested in this health care product and take the initiative to find Huaxing. And since you are confident that you can win the bid in Huaxing, do I still want Cao Wangde to refuse? If I let Cao Wande refuse, you should lose your temper with me, right? Think about it yourself, what am I doing that is not in line with the way of business? So how can you say that I'm behind my back, I'm playing with you? ”

"The only difference is that you thought that the person behind Huaxing had nothing to do with you, but now you have suddenly become your brother. With kinship, does it mean that you don't rely on strength? How can you deny yourself? What about your confidence in front of Cao Wangde? ”

Ruan Shu wanted to refute him very much, but what he said made so sense, but he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and pulled out two of the words: "What brother, what kind of kinship, I said that the Chen family has nothing to do with me, you are not my brother!" ”

Chen Qingzhou stared at her, not seeing the previous alienation and coldness from her expression, she seemed to be really angry, but in his eyes, she was more like a little girl with a tantrum. Suddenly, he smiled and followed her: "Okay, you have nothing to do with the Chen family, I am not your brother." ”

Whether it is his smile or his gaze, or his coaxing tone, it is full of tolerance and pampering. This made Ruan Shu feel very uncomfortable, and rarely embarrassed, just like the embarrassment when she applied her eyes that day.

Shaking her head, she refused his familiarity: "I don't want the right to divide the agency." That's the end of the contract. ”

"Xiao Ruan, don't be rash." Chen Qingzhou frowned, "After you found Cao Wangde, I didn't plan to hide the relationship between you and me and Huaxing, but I was worried that you would not want agency in order to break up the relationship with me, so I didn't tell you for the time being." ”

"Think about it yourself, if you give up agency because I am the financier behind Huaxing, you are indirectly acknowledging the relationship between me and you. Otherwise, you could continue to treat me like an irrelevant stranger and take what you deserve, wouldn't you? ”

Ruan Shu was silent and grabbed his bag: "I'm sorry, I'll go first." ”

Chen Qingzhou didn't stop her, looking at her figure, he sighed heavily.

……

Back in the counseling room, Ruan Shu threw down his bag and lay on the bed on his back.

In the mobile phone, the renovation company she contacted today told her that the sample drawings had been sent to her mailbox.

She flipped through it twice, too lazy to look at it, and she didn't have the heart to look at it at this time - since she didn't want the agency of health care products, even if the company was registered, she had no products to sell for the time being.

All I thought about over and over again was Chen Qingzhou's words.

She's struggling.

She really wanted this supplement. Her recent efforts have been spent on it, and she can't always empty the bamboo basket.

Can......

My thoughts were so tangled that I was about to twist into a twist.

Shaking her head irritably, she forcibly pressed it down and got up to go to the bathroom.

After washing, Ruan Shu turned off the headlights in the room and went to bed, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

When you put your hands on your body and top, your fingertips inadvertently caress the warm beads.

After a pause in her heart, she opened her eyes and stared down at the chalcedony, her fingers gently rubbing the slightly scarred beads.

Suddenly, she pulled the chalcedony off her wrist, leaned into the bear's arms, and in the dimness of the bedside lamp, she saw that the beads seemed to be flowing with light, and each one was transparent.

staring quietly, Fu Lingyuan's solemn face involuntarily appeared in front of him.

It's been three days, and I don't know how his wounds are healing......

Shaking his thoughts, Ruan Shu turned over, from leaning on the big bear to hugging the big bear, and buried his face in the big bear's arms.

The night makes everything seem so quiet, and the chirping of insects outside the window is very lively.

The excitement is their own.

She hugged the bear tighter and tighter, and her thoughts rose and fell, as if she felt his heartbeat, exactly the same as when she hugged him, strong and powerful, which made her inexplicably reassured.

After a second flicker, his heartbeat was gone. Nothing. It's all an illusion.

Peace of mind disappears and reverts to distortion.

"Hoo ......" Ruan Shu tilted his head, his face temporarily broke away from the big bear's embrace, breathed in the fresh air heavily, took out the mobile phone from his side, unlocked the screen, opened the phone book, slid down, and reached Fu Lingyuan's column, his fingers stopped in mid-air, and he hesitated.

I really want to call him. It's good to hear voices when you can't see people......

What is he doing at this point in time......?

Did you sleep......?

Is there a vigil around ......? It won't be that......

She stopped her thoughts in time to keep the woman's name from flashing, but her chest inevitably filled with another breath of turbidity.

After a while, she made a decision in her heart, she flipped through the phone book again, found Li Qing's number, and pressed it.

The bell of "toot-toot-toot-" is mechanical and long, frying people's hearts, and has never been picked up.

Probably Li Qing has also rested.

Ruan Shu thought.

Lowering her eyes, she was ready to hang up.

"Nguyen Nguyen." Fu Lingyuan's calm voice drilled into her ears without warning.
