Chapter 13

When Cheng Yuelin said the word 'cockfight', Ruan Zhiyin suddenly felt bad. Lin Jingfei lost her role by talking about him behind her back, how could she not be hated?
She thought that this guy would definitely not send her to work anymore, but in the end, the “arrogant cockfight” not only kindly agreed to send her to work, but somehow also went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
This move made Ruan Zhiyin even more uncomfortable, making her seem like narrow-minded person in front of him.
His naked body was accidentally seen by her, and he also has to listen to her complaints. He looks like the victim in every possible way, while she also expected the worst from him.
Along the way, they were always silent in the car.
The man had been indifferent since she got into the car. Ruan Zhiyin hesitated for a long time and wanted to say something, but before she could actually speak, his Bentaly had stopped at the front door of her company.
So she had to take the words back, open the door and get out of the car.
After standing there and watching his Bentley drive away, Ruan Zhiyin turned around and walked into Ruan's building.
After returning to China, Ruan Zhiyin served as the vice president of the Ruan family.
Although Grandpa Ruan holds a large amount of shares and acts as the chairman of the board, he has long been unable to actually manage the company.
After her father Ruan Shengwen passed away, Lin Cheng became the general manager within two years, and he has even more power over the years .
Ruan Zhiyin also once suspected that her parents’ car accident was related to Lin Cheng as he benefited the most from her parents’ incident. However, after many years of investigation, it turned out that it was just an accident.　　
In fact, if he really planned the car accident, it would be found out by grandpa's thorough investigation.
Lin Cheng's ambition was slowly nurtured.
He has been in control of the Ruan family and theur company for such a long time that he was naturally reluctant to give it to Ruan Zhiyin who suddenly appeared.
As soon as she arrived at the office, Xiang Bin, Ruan Zhiyin's assistant, knocked on the door and came in to report the company's recent affairs to her.
Although Ruan Zhiyin was the vice president, Lin Cheng never let her participate in important cases. Lin Cheng hired many Lin family members in, and Ruan Zhiyin was very much limited inside the company, until she won the Beicheng project.
After Xiang Bin finished reporting, Ruan Zhiyin pondered for a moment and said, "Beicheng City is about to start its construction project, and you will be in charge of it from tomorrow. Keep an eye on it. Don't let anything go wrong."
At the beginning, it was agreed that the Beicheng project would be handed over to Ruan Zhiyin. Although Lin Cheng could not interrupt the project publicly, he would do something secretly and take the initiative back.
There are not many people Ruan Zhiyin can trust, and Xiang Bin is one of them. The project is most likely to go wrong during construction on site, so she has to have Xiang Bin watching everything onsite to make sure everything is going as planned.
"Then in the company..."
Xiang Bin still seemed to be worried.
Ruan Zhiyin smiled, "I'll connect with Linheng.You've been with me for more than half a year. I know your capability is much more than being an assistant."
Xiang Bin is a prudent and hardworking person with outstanding performance so far. He is also a reliable project leader.Ruan Zhiyin had considered giving him a promotion for a long time.
"Thank you, Miss Ruan."
"Well, wait for Tian Jing to hand over your current work."
Xiang Bin was quite excited, nodded and went out.
Not long after, Tian Jing from the Secretariat knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Ruan, someone sent flowers for you. What should I do?"
Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly: "Throw it away. Reject to receive it the next time."
Needless to say, the flowers is sent by Qin Jue.
Since she promised Cheng Yuelin to pretend his wife in public, she will do this right.
Tian Jing left after she got the answer.
Ruan Zhiyin then began to look at contract sent by Linheng Corperation.
The scorching sun is in the sky at Landbridge in early June.
The hot light poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the noon time passed in a flash.
Even though the room was air-conditioned, Ruan Zhiyin still felt a little dry and hot when she read the contract.
She got up to get some water, but found that the water dispenser in the office was empty, so she had to go to the pantry.
Walking to the aisle, there was a faint voice of discussion in the tea room, and she slowly stopped.
"Why did the Beicheng project suddenly cooperate with Linheng Corperation?"
"Vice President Ruan is now married to President of Linheng, so it's normal to have cooperation. Things usually went smooth when you have some background...."
"Why did they suddenly get married? What about President Qin?"
"President Qin did not even show up on their wedding day, so how can our Vice President Ruan marry him after such embarrassment?"
"Vice President Ruan is so good.Miss Lin was so arrogant every time she comes to the company. What does President Qin think?"
"They are childhood sweethearts, so it is natural that their connections are hard to end immediately. Keep your words behind their back though. The company is now headed by the Lin family."
The voice gradually faded away. Ruan Zhiyin stood there for a while, then turned around and walked back, informing the administrator to change the water in the water dispenser in the office.
Before she came to the company, she knew that the discussions of the employees could not be stopped. Not only Lin Cheng spread it on purpose, she also didn't want to embarrass those employees.
Qin Jue's phone number was blocked by her. He delivered flowers to the apartment every day. But she asked deliverer to throw them away.
Ruan Zhiyin did not deny that she was a little impulsive when she decided to change the groom, but her decision to break up with Qin Jue is right.
When they were in the US, she and Qin Jue were in a relationship. At that time, there was no Lin Jingfei, no Lin family, and no Qin family between them
In the six months after returning to China, her feelings for Qin Jue had already been almost exhausted. Once the decision is made, she will not let herself regret.
Not to mention there are still people who are constantly reminding her of everything happened recently.
/ / /
Qin family, the president's office.
Jiang Anzheng was already devastated at the moment. He frowned, looking at Lin Jingfei on the sofa, "Feifei, how could you offend Cheng Yuelin?"
It was supposed to be the press conference for the movie "Suspended" at the moment. But last night, Jiang Anzheng suddenly received a call from the assistant director and learned that Director Liang was going to recast the role for Lin Jingfei.
Liang Xiao is a new director, but his last movie not only winned all the domestic film festival awards, but also won the Sina Film Festival Gold Award.
Therefore, though his new movie "Suspended" is focused more on the male protagonists, and the female protagonist's role is not that important, the competition for getting this role was still crazy.
Jiang Anzheng spent a lot of effort to help Lin Jingfei get the female protagonist role from the other actress Shen Rong.
Now that the filming is about to start, Director Liang decided to recast!After inquiring, he learned that Linheng invested in this drama, and he seemed to be unhappy with Lin Jingfei.
Lin Jingfei was also devastated. She glanced at Qin Jue before biting her lip and said, "I met my cousin while shopping and suggested that she should think carefully about her marriage, but I didn't expect to bump into President Cheng, and I didn't expect him to take my words seriously."
Her words seemed to be okay for others， but for Qin Jue，it might mean something differrent.
Now, she lis the one who lost the role in Director Liang's movie because she wanted to help Qin Jue persuade Ruan Zhiyin to change her mind.
"Jue, Director Liang said that they want to recast the roles, you see..." Jiang Anzheng came here because he also did all he can but nothing worked, so he could only ask Qin Jue for help.
But when he looked at his friend, he noticed that Qin Jue has sit there in trance for while.
Qin Jue has been unable to contact Ruan Zhiyin for a while. Now he understands that he has been blocked.
She had never been so angry before, and Qin Jue didn't really know how to win someone back. So he sent flowers to her every day, but there was no response at all.
He was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to take care of such trivial matters at all, so he rubbed his brows and said lightly, "Tell Liang Xiao, if Lin Heng wants to withdraw his investment, the Qin family will invest."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingfei and Jiang Anzheng softened their expression.
Zhai Xu waited with the document on their side. Jiang Anzheng knew that Qin Jue must have something to do, so he was ready to leave with Lin Jingfei.
"Wait a moment."Qin Jue suddenly spoke up and looked at Lin Jingfei with a frown, "Jingfei, Zhai Xu said you took away the necklace I bought at the auction last time?""
Lin Jingfei was stunned and nodded with a smile: "Sister Ling went to pick it up and I wore it once at an event."
Sister Ling is Lin Jingfei's agent, and has a good relationship with Jiang Anzheng. She is also the general manager of Qin's Entertainment, so Lin Jingfei's job resources do not have to be bothered by the agent. Occasionally, Sister Ling offer some little help. For instance, Lin Jingfei needs a lot of jewelry to attend various events, and sometimes she will take it from Qin Jue's collection cabinet if she is not satisfied with what the cooperating brands sends.
Every time he attends an auction, he will take some things to keep them in the cooletion. Maybe he can't remember how many pieces of jewelry are in the safe.
But what Qin Jue just said was the pink diamond necklace he bought at the auction with a crazy prize. The necklace worth eight figures, and it was the most expensive jewelry in the safe.
When Lin Jingfei wore it to an event, she also got to be on the trending part of the news, so she definitely remember that one,
Hearing her words, Qin Jue raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "I meant to give that one to Zhiyin."
He couldn't be with Ruan Zhiyin on Valentine's Day, so he bought this necklace as a gift, wanting to make it up to her by spending a belated Valentine’s day with her. However, he never sent it out because Ruan Zhiyin said that she did not want him to make it up to her.
He knew that Ling Jingfei often sent people to grab a few jewelry, but he didn't know that this item was also taken away by her. Qin Jue was indeed a little unhappy, as Zhai Xu should have told Sister Ling that this was for Ruan Zhiyin.
Aware of Qin Jue's emotions, Lin Jingfei's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "Sorry, Jue. It may be that Sister Ling misunderstood, so I will send it to you later?"
"No need.” Qin Jue waved his hand and looked at Jiang Anzheng again, "Purchasing some dresses and jewelry in the name of the company for artists to use, just in case those brands make mistakes again in the future."
The necklace had already been worn, so it was impossible to give it to Ruan Zhiyin again. What's more, Zhiyin had a grudge against Jingfei in the first place. If he sent it over, it would only make her angry.
After Qin Jue finished speaking, Jiang Anzheng glanced at Lin Jingfei subconsciously, while Lin clenched her nails and shook her head at him calmly.
Doing so is defintiely good for other artists in the company, but Lin Jingfei knew that it was definitely not a good thing for herself.
If the company has dresses and jewelry, even if she can still ask Qin Jue for help, and he won't reject her, she can't do it too often.
However, as their problem with the movie was solved, and the two finally left.
Only then did Zhai Xu hand over the documents in his hand to Qin Jue and asked, "Boss, should we ask Director Xiang to be in charge of the medical cooperation case with Ruan's?"
He asked this question on purpose. After all, boss was in a bad mood recently and has been harsh at work due to Miss Ruan. Of course, he hopes that the boss will get her back soon.
However, though the boss cannot eat or sleep well these day because of Miss Ruan, he didn't seem to give up on helping Miss Lin.
Zhai Xu is not supposed to judge the boss's personal affairs, let alone trying to understand his feelings, but compared to Miss Lin, he still prefers Miss Ruan to be his boss’s wife.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhai Xu finished speaking, Qin Jue put down the document and sighed， "No need, I'll go there in person."

Before Ruan Zhiyin got off work, she received a call from Cheng Yuelin.
The man was concise, only saying that he would come to pick her up after getting off work, and then hung up quickly.
For a while, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't figure out whether Cheng Yuelin was kindly picking her up, or whether he was ready to ask for any ”repay” because of his previous favor.
Seeing that it is five o'clock already, Ruan Zhiyin guessed that Cheng Yuelin should be there already, so she quickly packed her things, got up and walked out of the office.
But before the elevator arrive, the conference room at the end of the corridor suddenly opened, and a group of people poured out from the inside.
Unavoidable.
The second his eyes met her, Qin Jue seemed to be relieved, and then walked closer,to her, standing in front of her, "Zhiyin, let's talk."
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the people behind Qin Jue. The leader was Lin Cheng's second brother, Lin Wei, who was in charge of a medical cooperation case between Ruan and Qin.
Lin Cheng's capability in work is average, but his appetite is large. This case is also what he asked from Qin Jue, aiming to enter the business of medical treatment.
She was relieved, took a step back, and looked extremely cold, "Qin Jue, we are at the workplace."
Qin Jue hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't want to waste his chance to talk to her, so he softened his tone, "Okay, then let's talk in the car."
He reached out his hand to hold her, but Ruan Zhiyin refused him by turning away.
Meanwhile, the elevator door suddenly opened——
Ruan Zhiyin looked up, and a familiar figure appeared in the elevator.
With a relaxed attitude, the man stepped out of the elevator with one hand in his pocket.
After seeing the situation in front of him, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and his voice was calm and casual: "It appears that I come at the right time."
He then looked at Ruan Zhiyin with a smile, and slowly stretched out the palm with slender fingers. His voice sounds so gentle that Ruan Zhiyin thinks she had never heard his tone like this before --
"Yinyin, come here."
