After returning to Landbridge from Xuxian, Cheng Yuelin went on a business trip to Europe. The itinerary was already scheduled.
After the two got married, he tried his best to spare time to stay at home. There were a lot of video conferences overseas, but he still had a backlog of things that he had to go through in person.
Knowing that he had been away for a long time, before the business trip, Cheng Yuelin asked Ruan Zhiyin: "If you don't want to be at home alone, you can ask a friend to stay with you for a few days."
So Ruan Zhiyin called Ye Yanchu, and the other party packed her luggage happily and moved into the original second bedroom.
As soon as she entered the room, Ye Yanchu couldn't help frowning: "Tsk, why do you hang such a big wedding photo in the second bedroom?"
The wedding photo in the second bedroom was washed and hung by Cheng Yuelin, and it looked a bit abrupt.
"Cheng Yuelin said that even if I quarreled with him and moved back to the second bedroom, I would still see him, which would help reduce the frequency of quarrels." Ruan Zhiyin explained helplessly.
Ye Yanchu was dumbfounded for a long time, then sighed and shook her head: "Okay, I didn't realize that Cheng Yuelin was so arrogant."
But she didn't find out before that Cheng Yuelin was able to secretly fall in love for ten years.
"Baby, don't think about him these days. While Cheng Yuelin is away, you should also enjoy the long-awaited nightlife."
Ye Yanchu lifted Ruan Zhiyin's chin lightly, with a rogue tone.
Ruan Zhiyin smiled and let go of her hand, her brows slightly raised: "I always said that I was too busy with work before, but I think you still have a lot of time."
"Then I don't have a relationship, so I have to enrich and enrich my life." Ye Yanchu was afraid that she would refuse, so she showed a face full of depression.
Ruan Zhiyin thought that she had rejected the confession of the person she liked, and that she had lost her love. It was time to relax, so she nodded: "It happened that Qin Xiang called me before, and I will call her up after get off work someday. ."
Gu Linlang recently went abroad to participate in a fashion week. Of course, she didn't have time to experience nightlife with them.
Ye Yan achieved her goal and hugged her happily: "Yinyin, I knew you were the best."
—
Cheng Yuelin was away on a business trip, and Ruan Zhiyin was also busy with the work that followed. After the contract was signed, Nevers officially announced the cooperation with Nan Yin.
Zhang Chun has worked in Nakamura Bio and T&D for many years, and the rest of the team is not unknown. Even though Nanyin is a new company, Ruan Zhiyin paid for T&D's patents and has Zhang Chun's team as a signboard, so it will not be looked down upon.
It is also strange that Nakamura Biotech decided tiered pricing based on industry barriers. After Nevers took the lead in cooperating with Nanyin, several other brands also revealed their intention to cooperate. After all, no one wants to be squeezed profit and reduce competitiveness.
Previously, Nakamura Bio's main competitor was Germany's ST, which has a wide range of business segments, and a small proportion of medical and cosmetic raw materials business. It only supplies first-line brands, and the price is also high.
Nakamura Bio will not give up orders from first-tier brands, but it also urgently needs to expand its profits for the next year because of the expansion of other business investments. It's just that the other party didn't expect that the decision of tiered pricing would suddenly appear as a competitor of Nan Yin.
Of course, the price of Nanyin's raw materials is not too low, Ruan Zhiyin just gave the same price, but the money still has to be earned.
Just after Ruan Zhiyin returned to the office after the meeting with the brand operation department, Kang Yu knocked on the door and confirmed the schedule to her: "Mr. Ruan, since Director Zhang will lead the team, do you still have to come over to negotiate with CF?"
Nan Yin has signed orders from several brands one after another, and the momentum is on the rise, and has also received inquiries from CF. This means that even if Ruan Zhiyin did not meet with Mr. Robert, there is still a chance to compete for the CF supplier.
Bio Nakamura gave Nan Yin a chance. If he can win the cooperation of CF in the subsequent negotiations, Nan Yin will make a name for himself.
Ruan Zhiyin thought for a while and asked, "Who is the representative of Zhongcun Creatures?"
"It's their vice president of R&D." Kang Yu paused, then said, "I checked, and the person in charge of CF's contact with the partner this time is not only Mr. Robert, but also the newly appointed Chinese design director of the makeup line. "
"In addition, CF has a new product launch event in New York at the end of the month, and also invited partners who participated in the supplier competition this time."
Ruan Zhiyin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "In this case, the normal contact with CF will be handed over to Zhang Chun. You and I will spare time to attend CF's new product launch conference."
"Okay, Mr. Ruan." Kang Yu replied with a smile, looking in a good mood.
Traveling on business at public expense means that you can stock up on a lot of things in duty-free shops. No matter how hard she works, she is also a girl with a shopping instinct.
Seeing this, Ruan Zhiyin also laughed and teased: "Don't worry, I'll give you a day off to go shopping then."
—
After getting off work, Ruan Zhiyin drove to pick up Ye Yanchu, and then went to the bar she had made an appointment with Qin Xiang.
The name of the bar is Ye Yu. It is near the Film and Television Academy. The owner is Qin Xiang's college classmates. It is quite famous in this area.
The three of them sat in the booth near the bar, each ordered a glass of wine, and after a few chats, Qin Xiang suddenly looked at Ruan Zhiyin, his eyes lit up.
"Sister Zhiyin, are you still short of investment? I have money now, and Shen Rong has become a shareholder of Nan Yin, why don't you give me a chance?"
Actress Shen Rong was supposed to promote Nan Yin before, and not long ago she officially became Nan Yin's spokesperson, which brought a lot of popularity to Nan Yin. Today, Nan Yin is very popular.
To Ruan Zhiyin's surprise, Shen Rong did not ask for endorsement fees, but proposed to invest in shares. The biggest opponent in the past has become a shareholder of Nan Yin, and I don't know if Lin Jingfei will think that she is sincere against her.
However, Shen Rong's shares were not large, and Ruan Zhiyin had no need to reject Shen Rong's request because of Lin Jingfei's ideas.
What's more, the investment in the new R&D base is not small. Nanyin really needs funds. Ruan Zhiyin has not yet wanted to ask Cheng Yuelin for help, nor does she want to change the relatively independent situation of Nanyin and Ruan's current situation.
Serious calculation, Shen Rong's endorsement fee can be quite a lot. For Ruan Zhiyin, who is already in negative assets, money can be saved if it can be saved.
Thinking of this, Ruan Zhiyin looked at Qin Xiang with a smile: "Yes, yes, but Xiangxiang, when did you start thinking about investing to make money?"
She was six or seven years older than Qin Xiang, and always felt that Qin Xiang was just a child.
Qin Xiang pouted: "I'm afraid that one day my family will force me to get married, so I might as well give myself a way out in advance. If that day comes, I'll just run away from home."
Qin Xiang used to have a temperament that didn't like to be restrained, but he was used to being pampered. I really have no money to spend, I can't stand it.
Ruan Zhiyin was a little dumbfounded, afraid that she was on a whim, and patiently persuaded: "Xiangxiang, think about it carefully. With the current situation of the Qin family, you should not need to marry."
From what she knew about Wei Lan, the other party really loved Qin Xiang's daughter. As long as there is no major problem with the Qin family, it is impossible for Qin Xiang to be forced to marry. Moreover, Qin Xiang has only just turned 20 this year, so even if it is a marriage, I am afraid it is still very early.
"No need doesn't mean I won't, even my brother can be forced to marry by grandpa, I have to plan ahead." Qin Xiang sighed, then looked at Ruan Zhiyin seriously, "I don't worry about giving money to others, I only care about it. do not worry."
For Qin Xiang's trust, Ruan Zhiyin was moved but a little helpless, and moved out of an educational attitude: "Okay, don't put a high hat on me here, are you not afraid that I will lose money?"
Qin Xiang smiled: "Don't be afraid, anyway, with Cheng Yuelin here, you can always have more protection than others. Husband and wife are a community of interests."
Ruan Zhiyin didn't expect Qin Xiang to think like this, so she twitched the corner of her mouth: "I don't think you're worried about me at all."
It was clearly Cheng Yuelin.
The feeling of being trusted all dissipated.
Ye Yanchu patted Qin Xiang's shoulder: "Grandpa Qin always loves you, so he won't find you a marriage partner with a crooked melon and jujube. Maybe you and others will see each other in the end. Why don't you talk about it, What do you like?"
"What kind of thing do you like... At least the looks are good enough, and the temperament can't be as dull and boring as my brother and my dad." Qin Xiang dragged his chin with one hand and continued, "It's best to meet the fate accidentally, just like Zhi Sister Yin and Cheng Yuelin, it would be great to see each other in a different groom."
Ruan Zhiyin looked at Qin Xiang's bright eyes and felt that she was simply immersed in the fantasy of love in idol dramas.
Just as he was about to say something, a clear voice sounded from behind—
"Sister-in-law! You are here too!"
Ruan Zhiyin turned her head and saw Qian Fan and Fu Chenyuan standing a few steps away.
Qian Fan still had that enthusiastic attitude, but Fu Chenyuan didn't know why, his face was not very good at the moment.
Qian Fan led Fu Chenyuan forward, and after greeting Ruan Zhiyin, he waved to Ye Yanchu, whom he had seen at Grandpa Ruan's funeral.
When he looked at Qin Xiang, he hesitated: "Who is this?"
"Hello, Qin Xiang."
Qian Fan frowned, thought for a while, and murmured, "Why does this name sound familiar?"
Qin Xiang didn't think much, and said habitually, "Oh, Qin Jue is my brother."
She just felt that Qin Jue's name should be more familiar than hers.
Qian Fan's expression froze for a moment, and then he raised his eyebrows calmly: "It turned out to be Miss Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After speaking, he looked at Ruan Zhiyin again: "Sister-in-law, then you two have a good chat, let's go next door first."
Immediately afterwards, he dragged Fu Chen, who had been silent, to the booth next door.
Ruan Zhiyin felt that Qian Fan's expression was a little weird, but before she thought about it, Qin Xiang talked to her again, and she quickly retracted her gaze.
…
On the other side, as soon as Qian Fan sat down, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Yuelin who was far abroad—
[Brother Lin! No, Qin Jue saw that you and your sister-in-law are more in love than Jin Jian, so he actually sent his sister to snatch your daughter-in-law from you! ]
Several minutes passed.
Cheng Yuelin just came back: [? ]
Qian Fan surreptitiously took a photo of Ruan Zhiyin and Qin Xiang 'talking happily' and sent it to Cheng Yuelin.
[Qin Jue's sister and sister-in-law are chatting hotly. I also heard her mention her brother. Is she here to be a lobbyist? But Brother Lin, don't worry! Immediately I figured out a way to take them apart! ]
…
I have to say that Qian Fan's ears are very sensitive.
In the booth next door, Qin Xiang did mention Qin Jue with Ruan Zhiyin just now.
"Sister Zhiyin, my brother has been wrong recently. He has never quarreled with grandpa about his engagement since Jiahong. My mother thinks he has compromised, but I always think not."
In fact, what Qin Xiang wanted to say was that she felt that Qin Jue had not given up on Ruan Zhiyin. It could be seen that Ruan Zhiyin's face was pale, so she could only take the words back.
After finally meeting Ruan Zhiyin once, Qin Xiang didn't want to make the relationship stiff, and instead talked about other things.
"And Lin Jingfei. I saw her and Lin Wei meet in the car that day. She wants to compare with you all day long. Be careful."
Ruan Zhiyin frowned after hearing Qin Xiang's ramble, nodded, and replied softly, "I see."
"Yinyin is married, and she has no contact with Qin Jue. Lin Jingfei won't be looking for her again, right?" Ye Yanchu finished speaking and lowered her eyebrows, "But not necessarily, after all, Lin Jingfei's I can't understand Chong Fei's prejudiced brain circuit that Yinyin robbed her of something."
Qin Xiang stirred the cocktail in front of him: "There has been a lot of negative news about her make-up brand recently. I think she is in a bad mood recently, and she has to pretend to go to my mother to be courteous. I am really tired for her."
"Isn't it bad to be a rich woman with money, but just tossing around."
"Actually, I can also understand that she has always been held in the past and envied by the wealthy circle. Now her reputation is ruined, she can't accept the gap, and she wants to barely maintain her face, so she can only tie up my brother. But I bet, I Brother can't marry her."
Qin Xiang said this because he thought he knew Qin Jue better than Fang Weilan. Although his brother is gentle and treats everyone well, he was able to be provoked to be rebellious when he stayed abroad and would not come back, and now it is impossible for him to be forced to marry someone he doesn't want to marry.
Ruan Zhiyin listened quietly, without speaking.
After the two of them finished talking, she looked at Qin Xiang with a smile: "Xiangxiang, help me pay attention, if Lin Jingfei wants to sell grandpa's properties and paintings—"
"Then I'll ask someone to buy it for you!"
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at her: "Ghost spirit."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at it, it was Cheng Yuelin's phone number.
"I'm going to pick up the phone, you two talk first."
After all, it's in a bar, and it's a bit noisy when the booth is seated.
She got up and walked out of the bar before pressing answer.
"Where?" The man's deep voice rang in his ears.
Ruan Zhiyin said, "I'm outside with Ah Chu and the others."
She subconsciously felt that she could not admit that he had just gone on a business trip when she came to the bar at night.
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yuelin's deep and sullen laughter came from there, followed by his inexplicable tone: "Ruan 嘤嘤, you mean outside, is the bar?"
"How do you know—" Ruan Zhiyin opened her mouth and reacted instantly, "Did Qian Fan tell you?"
Cheng Yuelin didn't deny it, and said softly, "Don't play too late, if you drink, let the driver pick you up."
Ruan Zhiyin let out a sigh of relief and replied softly, "Well, I see."
"Good." His voice was idle, and then he asked slowly, "Did you miss me?"
Ruan Zhiyin didn't speak, she turned around, and saw the slightly upturned corners of her mouth from the hazy glass reflection in front of her.
Just holding the phone and smirking like a little girl in love.
She remained silent, and he just waited.
After a while, Ruan Zhiyin heard Bai Bo's voice: "Boss—"
As if interrupted by him.
"I think." Ruan Zhiyin's voice was low, she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes were a little serious, "I want to hug you every day."
Although Ye Yanchu lived in the villa to accompany her, she woke up every morning and was still not used to being alone in the master bedroom.
I want to hug him.
"Then it seems that I think more." Cheng Yuelin laughed softly, and said leisurely, "Ruan 嘤嘤, I not only want to hug you and kiss you, but also—"
"Cough, stop talking."
"Why, is this shy?"
"Ruan 嘤嘤, what about our married life-" he dragged his tone, "don't be shy."
Ruan Zhiyin: "…"
Although he couldn't see it, she still covered her face helplessly.
How could Cheng Yuelin be so calm, isn't Bai Bo still beside him!
…
The phone hangs up.
Cheng Yuelin stood in the bright and splendid hotel corridor, looked up at the bright and delicate crystal chandelier on the top of the corridor, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had not yet dissipated.
It suddenly occurred to me that every time her bright phoenix eyes were dyed with blurred mist, she still did not forget to show a hint of sobriety, winking and shyly ordering him to turn off the lights.
Bai Bo watched Cheng Yuelin hang up the phone, and then said again: "Boss, Mr. Lawson from ST is still waiting for you in the living room."
"Ok."
He responded calmly, his complexion returned to coldness, and turned to leave with a step.
…
When Ruan Zhiyin returned to the bar's booth, she found that Qin Xiang was secretly staring at Qian Fan who was sitting next door.
"Xiangxiang, what are you looking at?" she asked suspiciously.
Qin Xiang frowned at her: "Sister Zhiyin, I found that I seem to have seen him."
Ruan Zhiyin was a little stunned: "Huh?"
It's not that Qin Xiang has met Qian Fan by accident, but he doesn't understand what's wrong with her meeting Qian Fan
Qin Xiang sighed: "Do you remember when you and I went to see "The Happy Event in Nancheng" when you were in high school?"
Ruan Zhiyin nodded.
"At that time, he was sitting behind us, and he was the loudest laugh in the audience. There was a touching part in the middle, where he cried with the boy in the hat next to him. Look down and hide from me."
Ruan Zhiyin frowned: "The boy in the hat?"
"Yes, thin and tall, he looks like a handsome guy at first sight. You know, I have always had a deep impression of handsome guys, and I even remembered him. After the game, didn't he come to say hello to you? What? It's a pity that the handsome guy is gone."
The boy in the hat, bowed his head to hide from people, watched a movie with Qian Fan, and disappeared when the scene was over.
Ruan Zhiyin seemed to understand something.
However, what caught her attention now was—
"What about Achu?"
"I was pulled into the box by another handsome guy."
Qin Xiang danced and gave her a lively performance: "Not long after you went out, the handsome guy suddenly came over, stood there and said to Sister Yanchu, 'Ye Yanchu, move to other people's place, hide enough Is that right?' Then I dragged her into the box over there and never came out again."
After she finished speaking, she still didn't forget to sigh: "I didn't say it, this lonely and widowed girl has been in for so long, sister Yanchu is really blessed."
Ruan Zhiyin: "…"
She began to wonder if she should no longer treat Qin Xiang as a nineteen-year-old child.
Just thinking of this, Qin Xiang glanced at his watch and suddenly raised his voice: "Oh my god, it's almost ten o'clock, I have to go home quickly, or my mother will rant again."
Ruan Zhiyin knew Fang Weilan's access control to Qin Xiang, and was about to send a message to Ye Yanchu when Qian Fan came over there as if nothing had happened.
"Yo, Miss Qin is drinking? It's a coincidence, I haven't drunk yet. Sister-in-law, you are far away, so go back first. I happened to be on the way and I can see Miss Qin. "
He had told Brother Lin to separate each other, but he couldn't give them another chance to be alone on the road to clean Qin Jue.
Ruan Zhiyin heard the words and turned to look at Qin Xiang.
She was in a hurry to go home, nodded indifferently, said thank you to Qian Fan, quickly packed her things, and followed him to leave.
Ruan Zhiyin then sent Ye Yanchu a message.
[Are you OK? ]
A long few minutes passed.
Only then did I receive Ye Yanchu's reply—
[Yinyin, you go first, I may... have to settle for a while, don't wait for me. ]
The voice was soft and sweet.
Well, it looks like she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Ruan Zhiyin's car keys were in Ye Yanchu's bag, and she glanced at the table next to the fruit plate, thinking that Fu Chenyuan probably didn't drink, so she could send Ye Yanchu back.
So she sent a message to the driver, and after the other party arrived, she returned to the villa alone.
—
In the empty villa, it was quiet.
After going to the bathroom and taking a shower, Ruan Zhiyin remembered what Qin Xiang had just said about the movie she watched in high school.
Sitting by the bed and thinking silently for a while, she sent Cheng Yuelin a WeChat message.
[When you were in high school, did you go to the cinema to see "The Happy Event in Nancheng"? ]
A few minutes later, she received the man's concise, yet incomprehensible reply.
[Drawer on the far right of the study. ]
Ruan Zhiyin frowned and went to the study with half-dry hair.
Following his words, she opened the drawer on the far right side of the desk and found that there was only a tin box in it.
Open the box again -
It was two yellowed movie tickets in a plastic bag.
Five rows of seven, six rows of seven.
Ruan Zhiyin laughed silently, her thoughts suddenly returning to that afternoon.
The boy didn't know where he brought a garbage bag. After cleaning up the sundries on the table, he glanced at her and said casually, "Ruan Zhiyin, you have a lot of garbage, can you throw it away?"
Ruan Zhiyin looked up from the question, glanced at the yogurt box and biscuit packaging bag on the table, nodded and said, "Then throw it away."
When she was at school, she always felt that she didn't have enough time. Occasionally, she didn't want to waste time going to the cafeteria, so she would eat prepared cookies and yogurt.
As soon as I finished eating, I started to do the quiz again, and the packaging hadn't had time to throw away.
Ruan Zhiyin stretched out her hand to clean up, Cheng Yuelin suddenly said: "Well, you continue to do the question, I'll do it."
She glanced at him suspiciously. Although she was suspicious of his unreasonable 'kindness', her thoughts were still on the question just now, so she withdrew her hand and thanked him very rarely.
Later, when she found that the movie ticket stubs in the pencil case were missing, Ruan Zhiyin rummaged through the entire school bag and couldn't find it.
"Cheng Yuelin, have you seen the movie ticket stub I left?"
"No, you lost it."
"Really?" Ruan Zhiyin frowned, "But I remember, I clearly put it in the pencil case."
Cheng Yuelin sneered: "Why not? Is it possible that someone could steal the movie ticket stubs you've seen? Is it worth it?"
Ruan Zhiyin choked slightly when she met his righteous eyes and reasonable words: "Okay."
…
In the iron box, although the two movie tickets were yellowed, the folds on them were carefully flattened.
Ruan Zhiyin quietly closed the iron box and put it back in the drawer.
As if, this is also considered, watching a movie...the two of them's movie.
