There was thunderous applause in the banquet hall.
At the main table, Ruan Chengyi stood up amidst the congratulations of everyone around him, facing all the guests, raised his hand slightly to express his thanks.
He has worked hard in the business district of Ningcheng for 20 years, and there has never been a day when he has attracted more attention than today. A brilliant career, a stable backer, a wide network of contacts, a generous and decent wife, a well-behaved and beautiful daughter, everything that a middle-aged man possesses that indicates success, he has it all.
For a young man from a farming family, all of this today can be called a complete life.
Although he was always calm, he was inevitably a little excited at this moment. After raising his hand in greeting, he lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, and walked to the podium with steady steps.
"Boss Ruan!"
"Awesome!"
In the banquet hall, I don't know who shouted twice, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
The atmosphere was suddenly pushed to its climax.
Ruan Chengyi smiled, reached out and lifted the microphone to his mouth, cleared his throat and said, "Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen..."
It was not the first time he had spoken on a similar occasion in his middle age, and his mellow and magnetic tone immediately quieted the audience.
In this silence, on the large LED screen behind him, the photos switched and began to show the historical process of the company's development over the past 20 years.
"Today, the house is full of guests and laughter. On this day approaching the new year, we are celebrating the 20th birthday of Hongyu Company. On this special day, please allow me to express my sincerest and best wishes to all the guests on behalf of all the staff of Hongyu Company. A warm welcome!"
The high-pitched voice and passionate tone made everyone in the banquet hall raise their hands and applaud spontaneously. The applause spread from the back to the front, and the LED screen illuminated Ruan Chengyi's vigorous face.
"Looking back on the past 20 years, we have experienced the hardships of entrepreneurship..."
His voice slowed down.
Looking up at the ever-changing LED screen in front of you, the applause of the audience receded like a tide, and in an instant, it became completely silent.
After the first dozen or so photos, what appeared on the screen was a bed photo of a man and a woman.
And the male protagonist in the bed photo, ignorant, still standing in front of the screen in a suit, made an inspiring speech.
This scene that shocked people's eyes too much caused the audience to experience a dead silence for half a minute, and the pot exploded in an instant.
"God, what's going on!"
"The photo is misplaced!"
"Is it important to be wrong? That's Mr. Ruan, he actually..."
"That woman looks familiar, ah, isn't that right, isn't she just sitting there? She came with the old lady of the Ruan family, what's going on!"
The entire banquet hall suddenly became chaotic.
The noisy discussion even overwhelmed Ruan Chengyi's speech.
Several other shareholders of Hongyu Company couldn't help but stood up, and after looking at each other, someone shouted: "What's going on! Who made the computer!"
Under these sharp reprimands, several assistants in the general manager's office were frightened, and ran towards the podium with pale faces.
Just as he was speaking, Ruan Chengyi finally realized that something was wrong, he turned around hesitantly, only felt that the photo on the screen was like a rock, coming straight towards his face.
Because he was too shocked, at that moment, he even forgot to make any reaction, and kept his sideways movement with one hand on the podium, froze into a sculpture.
"asshole!"
There was an angry curse from the audience, and he turned his head suddenly, only to feel that someone grabbed his collar suddenly, and the swift wind of fists came towards him.
The sudden and severe blow made it too late for him to make any resistance, he staggered, and the podium moved back instantly, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Screams, noises, running, all in one mess.
An old man at the main table stood up with a bang, slapped the table and shouted: "Shuning!"
Yan Shuning has been in the army for many years, and he has always been lawless. If he wants to beat someone hard, the one who gets beaten may lose an arm or a leg. The old man was so anxious that he yelled at the young people at the next table: "What are you doing in a daze! Pull him down quickly!"
After he punched Ruan Chengyi, he pressed him to the ground and beat him. Zhao Bing knew that many people at her mother's house actually recognized him, but because they were suffocating, no one came forward immediately, and after the old man spoke, they all said "oh" and went up to pull people.
When he was pulled away, Ruan Chengyi on the ground was no longer demeanor and was in a panic. The styled black and shiny hair became messy, the buttons of the suit were all undone, the tie was pulled loosely around the neck, and there were even two lines of nosebleeds on the originally clean face.
"Cheng Yi!"
Several shareholders in the company were busy appeasing the important guests, and the employees gathered around and stepped forward, looking at Ruan Chengyi's appearance, no one dared to speak. It was the old lady Ruan who ran to the front in a hurry, and when she saw her son's blood-stained face, she uttered an earth-shattering cry.
Ding Meijuan followed her, crying so anxiously that she knelt down and was about to help him up.
"Go away!"
Ruan Chengyi pushed her to the ground, dizzy, he managed to get up from the fallen podium, looked at the chaotic banquet hall, his figure swayed again and again.
It's over!
His word of mouth has been ruined for many years!
Ding Meijuan!
Gritting his teeth and turning around, he tore Ding Meijuan's heart away!
"It's her."
"Where did you see her?"
"Compared with Mrs. Ruan, it's like heaven and earth."
"I heard that she is the cook of their company."
"My god, Boss Ruan's taste is really strong."
Ruan Chengyi's headache was splitting from hearing one sentence after another of comments. He pointed at Ding Meijuan with a trembling hand, and ordered the people beside him, "Take her out! Take her out for me!"
The security guard who came in just heard this sentence, hurriedly cut through the crowd, and dragged Ding Meijuan to the door. Seeing this, the old lady saw that this was a serious matter, and hurriedly rushed over and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, she is pregnant with a baby!"
"pregnant!"
"This is forcing the palace!"
"A cook also has this method, which is really eye-opening."
"This old lady... tsk tsk."
Watching several security guards pull Ding Meijuan out, the wealthy ladies standing by the table let out mocking sighs of emotion.
Only then did the old lady realize that she had said something wrong, and looked carefully at Ruan Chengyi, only to find that her son, who had been loved since childhood, was looking at her with an extremely strange and disgusting gaze.
"I I I..."
The old lady opened her mouth, but couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Ruan Chengyi didn't have time to care about her anymore, so he swallowed his blood, turned his head, and walked not far away step by step, Zhao Bingzhi walked over.
The LED screen was already dark, Zhao Bingzhi was sitting on the seat, but his eyes were still fixed on that spot, surrounded by a few kind-looking wives, who happened to comfort her with nice words.
"I know."
Ruan Chengyi supported the table with one hand, put together a sentence for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "Listen to my explanation, things are not what you see! It's all about that woman Ding Meijuan, she designed me, trust me, I can explain it .”
"Oh~"
Zhao Bingzhi sneered, got up slowly, stared at him mockingly, opened and closed his red lips, and asked word by word: "Ruan Chengyi, are you still a man?"
She didn't look at him again, walked past him expressionlessly, and went to the podium.
Several employees in the company quickly helped the podium up.
"Hello-"
Zhao Bingzhi tried his voice and turned to the audience, "Please be quiet, everyone."
Her indifferent voice spread out from the microphone, and the noisy banquet hall gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes, either pity, sympathy, or emotion, all fell on her.
Zhao Bingzhi bent down and bowed, "I'm sorry, I made everyone laugh at a little housework."
She smiled lightly and said generously, "Mr. Ruan is currently in a bad state and needs to be sorted out. Let us ask Vice President Chen to deliver the opening speech on his behalf. Everyone is welcome!"
After finishing the two crisp sentences, she took the lead in applauding and cast her eyes on the vice president of the company in the audience.
The man who was pointed out quickly got up and walked from the audience to the front of the stage.
After the microphone was handed over, Zhao Bingzhi smiled and nodded at him, took a step, and walked straight back to his seat.
Before she could sit down, Zhao Shoucheng at the main table stood up.
Because he got up, several people stood up at the first few tables.
These people are all business and political celebrities in Ningcheng, and they are also the partners that Ruan Chengyi and other company partners have always wanted to make friends with. Seeing them get up, the vice president who spoke on the stage was sweating and stuck frequently, but he couldn't take half a step forward. .
Ruan Chengyi finally woke up from the chaos just now. He endured the pain in his body and walked up to Zhao Shoucheng, bowing his head and calling in a hoarse voice: "Dad..."
"I'm not your father!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted coldly, looked at him sharply, and said in a trembling voice, "I can't afford to be your father."
"Ruan Chengyi—"
He raised his finger to Ruan Chengyi, his ashen face was extremely ugly, and he said every word, "You really opened my eyes today, ah! Eye-opening!"
Having been in a high position all year round, his words have the effect of overwhelming Mount Tai.
Ruan Chengyi's hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.
The old man was so angry that he let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't bother to look at him anymore. He cast his eyes on Zhao Bingzhi, and said without doubt: "Bingzhi, let's go."
After saying that, he strode out of the banquet hall.
At such a juncture, who dares to persuade him
Seeing him leave, a large group of people from the tables in the front row hurried away, and some people were afraid of being left behind, so they ran and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao! Calm down!"
The old took away the young, and the men took away the women. Within ten minutes, more than half of the guests in the banquet hall had left, leaving only the company staff and some partners who depended on Hongyu for their survival, staying in their seats. Come on, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.
Vice President Chen, who was speaking, was completely unsteady, and said a few words hastily, and the rest of the process did not proceed at all, so he directly ordered the waiter to serve the food.
It's a good 20th anniversary celebration. When this kind of thing happens, even if the employees are still in the mood to eat, everyone in the company's top management will lose interest. A few people who could talk in front of Ruan Chengyi surrounded him, lowered their voices, and spoke in haste and worry.
"Old Ruan, how can this be good!"
"Yeah, I think Mr. Zhao is very angry. With that posture, in the future of our company, I'm afraid..."
"When it's so important, if you make such a mistake, you can blame yourself, hey."
"Can my sister-in-law recover? I think she's sensible just now. You go back now. No matter what, it's serious to let her calm down."
"Ding Meijuan is pregnant?"
"You said you, why are you... so confused!"
Ruan Chengyi felt a splitting headache as he heard accusations one after another. He passed his hand to Vice President Chen beside him, panted and said, "Help me up."
Two men helped him to stand up.
The other raised his eyes and glanced around, frowned and called: "Xiao Zheng, help Mr. Ruan out first, or go upstairs and rest for a while."
Zheng Yunkai hurriedly came to him.
He supported Ruan Chengyi, and walked out of the banquet hall under the complicated eyes of the rest of the audience.
Lost face, ruined reputation, and the company's future may be implicated in such a difficult way, Ruan Chengyi walked out of the banquet hall, couldn't hold back, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old couple of the Ruan family, Ding Meijuan, and several Murakami family members were sitting on the sofa outside. Seeing him come out in such a state, the old lady was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Ruan Chengyi leaned against Zheng Yunkai, and was a little more sober by the cold wind blowing in from the door. He stopped abruptly, glanced at Ding Meijuan, and asked another executive who followed: "Go in and ask, what happened to those photos tonight?" Put it on!"
"not me."
Seeing his eyes fall on her, Ding Meijuan shook her head quickly, with a sad face, "Chengyi, trust me, I won't hurt you like this!"
Ruan Chengyi stared at her without saying a word.
A few minutes later, the executive who had just entered went back and forth. Behind him, the assistant with the work badge on his face was also very ugly. He pulled the other person out behind him and said angrily: "It's her. Mr. Ruan, When I was checking the computer, she came over with a USB flash drive and said that the USB flash drive had been splashed with water and needed to be checked, because she said it was your old family member and Missy’s classmate, so I let go."
The movement in the banquet hall just now almost scared Ding Chuchu into a fool.
She never expected that someone would dare to beat Ruan Chengyi on such an occasion, let alone that Ruan Yue's grandfather had such great power and influence. He was together, and there were so many people in the banquet hall, they followed without saying a word. he's gone.
Now that the matter has come to this point, why doesn't she know that she has caused a catastrophe.
Ding Chuchu was so frightened that she burst into tears, sobbing hastily while crying, and said intermittently: "It's really not me, it's Ruan Yue! Ruan Yue did all of this! It's her who wants to change the photo, it has nothing to do with me, Ruan Yue Uncle, you trust me..."
"Ruan Yue?"
Ruan Chengyi sneered, and roared after laughing, "You think I'm stupid!"
The assistant next to him was also in a cold sweat. The mistake just now was enough to make him pack up and leave tomorrow. He has only graduated for two years. If such an experience is written on the resume, how can he find relevant people in the future? Work, win the trust of people? !
Moreover, it is clear at a glance which is right and which is wrong!
How much he sympathized with Zhao Bingzhi and Ruan Yue, and how disgusted he was with the mother and daughter in front of him. After hearing what Ding Chuchu had said, he blushed with anger and said loudly, "It's her! President Ruan, she's the only one. Holding the USB flash drive and approaching the computer! Although the eldest lady also used it, she didn’t hold anything in her hand, and she just stopped in front of the computer for less than a minute. If you don’t believe me, we can adjust the monitoring!”
The surveillance in the banquet hall can't actually see as far as the computer, but the assistant can't care about those, and only wants to get rid of the relationship.
Ding Chuchu was dizzy, and she wasn't sure if she was being used by Ruan Yue. She pretended to make a phone call when she saw herself, and threw away the USB drive? Just to pick it up yourself and ruin this 20th anniversary celebration
She was very confused, and her words were confused, "It's not me, it's really not me, Uncle Ruan. That's not my USB drive..."
Ruan Chengyi kicked her down without saying any extra words.
Ruan Chengyi was really dizzy, he was ashamed and ruined the company celebration, all his dignity and glory were trampled and destroyed just now, the violent side of him was aroused because of this, and he didn't care about confronting him in public What an eye-popping act for a girl to touch her hands.
Pushing away Zheng Yunkai who was supporting him with one hand, he looked at Ding Chuchu with a gloomy face and said, "It's not you, so it has nothing to do with you! Do you know how important today's celebration is to the company? Ah! It's not good or bad to avenge your kindness." thing!"
"Mr. Ruan, Mr. Ruan!"
"Chengyi—"
Zheng Yunkai and the old lady grabbed him from left to right.
Ruan Chengyi pushed the old lady away violently, heartbroken, "On my happy day, you brought this pair of troublemakers to make trouble for me? Huh?! Now you are satisfied! Happy! Seeing me like this, aren't you? In a good mood! Kid?"
He raised his head and laughed loudly, "My son is almost gone, you want your grandson to be your ass!"
"How can I stand on such a stupid mother like you!"
The always pungent old lady was stunned by this scolding.
Zheng Yunkai stood by the side, his face changed and became brilliant again and again. Seeing that Ruan Chengyi finally took a breath, he lowered his voice and persuaded, "Mr. Ruan, Mr. Ruan! This is a hotel, look around..."
There was already a circle of people pointing around.
"What are you looking at!"
With an angry curse, Ruan Chengyi turned around and strode away.
Zheng Yunkai quickly caught up with him.
Ruan Chengyi turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and told him, "Go, go to the government compound."
In any case, he must stabilize the old man.
He is still in office at present, if one word goes out, his business in Ningcheng will be in trouble. What's more... Ruan Chengyi thought of his expression and tone just now, and felt that the situation was not good, but what could he do? That's all, let's try again!
When he got into the car, his body was dirty and sticky, and he was sweating layer after layer. The regret in his heart was long beyond words. It was at this moment that he realized that what everyone said was right, that he could have Today, it is inseparable from Zhao Bingzhi!
Although she had never helped him matchmaking, Zhao Shoucheng was sitting in that seat. Zhao Bing knew that he was a talented student from a medical university. He had worked hard in the medical field for 20 years, and she had worked in the hospital for 20 years. Knowing that he is Zhao Shoucheng's son-in-law, who doesn't know that he is the husband of Dr. Zhao from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology? !
Relying on his father-in-law and daughter-in-law, he was able to travel smoothly in this business circle. He had lived a good life for so long that he had forgotten that he was originally a poor boy with no ambition but no foundation.
The beginning of his prosperity was only because he married the eldest lady of the Zhao family.
Ruan Chengyi, Ruan Chengyi, you are so confused!
He typed the manuscript over and over again, organized his words, and thought about how he would cry and repent and beg for mercy later, but he never expected that when the car drove into the government compound, the guards on guard did not see him as usual. Just let it go, but after a glance, he said politely and politely: "Sorry, there are orders inside, you can't go in."
After saying that, the guard looked at Zheng Yunkai who was driving again, "I'm sorry, parking is not allowed here. Please leave as soon as possible."
After following Ruan Chengyi for several years, Zheng Yun drove this car, no matter where he went, others had to give him three points. This was the first time that he was mercilessly refused to be driven away by a gatekeeper. His face was not good-looking, but he had to put on a smile. While reversing the car, he tentatively asked behind, "Mr. Ruan?"
Ruan Chengyi said "Yes", with a rare frustration and confusion in his tone, "Let's step aside first, let me think about it."
…
Zhao family.
The old man and the old lady were sitting on the sofa. Because he was out of breath, the old man's blood pressure rose after returning home. The old lady suppressed her anger, and comforted him in a soft voice while helping him stroke his back: "Okay, okay, things are over. Now, what's the use of being angry? If you want me to say this, let everyone know the true face of that beast, and we will know in the future, so we don't have to compromise, just leave like this, and stay in peace."
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!"
The old man was so angry that he slapped his thigh hard.
It was too late, and many people who came out did not come here to meddle in other people's family affairs, and only a few who had always been close to the Zhao family were worried about the health of the old man, so they did not leave immediately. Among them, there are the two elders of the Yan family and Yan Shuning.
Hearing the old man's anger with a sullen face, within a few minutes, Yan Shuning couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly and said, "Why, did everyone know about this a long time ago? I'm going to eunuch that bastard..."
"You sit down!"
Beside him, Mr. Yan cursed angrily, poked him on the shoulder and said, "You are everywhere! You think you are still a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old?! You haven't figured out your own affairs yet, why are you meddling?! Oh, when you encounter something, you do it without saying a word, did you become a bandit in your previous life?!"
The old lady Yan also scolded: "What are you looking at?! What your father said is wrong? If you want to beat people to good or bad, then we will be unreasonable if we are reasonable! People who are almost forty are really ridiculous!"
"OK OK."
The old lady Zhao looked over after hearing the words, "Shu Ning is not a child, so he must be able to strike with discretion. In my opinion, two punches are not wrong, let's relieve my anger."
"Can't you?"
Yan Shuning stood up at this time, glanced at his mother, and laughed arrogantly, "It's just such a bastard, if I hit him, I will hit him, who can do it? Is it possible that I hit someone, and I have to pick a day to reason? My dad stopped him today, otherwise I would beat him to death."
"you-"
Old Madam Yan was choked up with anger and could not speak.
"I'll go see Sister Bingzhi."
Seeing him get up and go to Zhao Bingzhi's room, Mrs. Yan sighed again, and said to Mrs. Zhao helplessly, "I'm really sorry, we can't do anything about this bastard. He's a man, he doesn't know how to restrain his temper, which girl can fall in love with him!"
"Shuning has been in the army all the time, so there is no chance to talk about someone."
The old lady Zhao was both emotional and relieved, "The children of the younger generation, I think he is good, his temper has not changed, and he is still as fierce and willful as when he was a child."
Naturally, Yan Shuning didn't hear the voice of praise behind him.
When he arrived outside Zhao Bingzhi's room, he found that the door was not closed, it was ajar. From his perspective, he could just see a corner of the sofa in the room.
Zhao Bingzhi was sitting there, but he couldn't see his upper body, only two slender legs were exposed, overlapping each other, as white as lotus root joints under the soft light.
The dark green velvet dress she wore tonight was extremely textured, and the hem of the skirt fit her legs right now. Together with the pair of diamond-encrusted high-heeled shoes on her feet, it highlighted the charm of a mature woman to the extreme.
He turned his head, calmed down, raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Sister Bingzhi?"
The author has something to say: When the title is "two more in one", the number of words is generally 6,000+, which means one day's update.
See you tomorrow.
