Chapter 515: Giving Zhu Suosuo a Surprise
Jingyan Group suddenly suffered a disaster, and the interior was in a mess.
Zhu Suosuo, an assistant to the president's secretary who served tea and water, was, of course, of no use. In this day, Zhu Suosuo found that the most important work she did was to contact restaurants to order enough boxed lunches, and contact coffee shops to order various coffees, providing logistical support.
She watched Ye Ye Jin Yan as if he had suddenly aged ten years, and could clearly see the old age and fatigue. Fan Jingang suddenly became manly, walking through various departments in a hurry, with one meeting after another.
The quiet office environment of the past suddenly became noisy. There were endless phone calls, various documents flying, and because people were nervous, their moods were not very good. The tone of communication was inevitably stiff, this was stiff, that was stiff, and finally it became a quarrel. Such a mess was not much better than a vegetable market, and this oppressive and tense atmosphere also made her at a loss.
Fortunately, after the market closed in the afternoon, the stock price was stabilized, and after a difficult day, the situation was somewhat relieved, but it was still busy. Because this was not a matter of one morning or evening, it was a protracted war. She took advantage of the leisure time to ask Fan Jingang and got an answer that it would take at least a month...
In the evening, the boxed lunches and some specially ordered meals she ordered arrived, and she carried the things toward Ye Ye Jin Yan's office.
"Secretary Fan, dinner is here."
"Send it to Ye Zong." Fan Jingang hummed, stretched his waist, got up to tidy his tie and pants, straightened his shirt, shook his neck, and followed in.
"Ye Zong, it's time to eat, specially ordered ginseng soup for you to replenish your energy."
The door of the office was not closed. Ye Ye Jin Yan was burying his head in a pile of documents, staring at the emails sent from all over the place on the computer, replying one by one.
Hearing Zhu Suosuo's greeting, Ye Ye Jin Yan let out a breath, took off his glasses and squeezed his Jingming acupoints, then put on his glasses and stood up, bent his arms and spread them flat to circle his shoulders, and went to a table on the side to sit down. He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said to Zhu Suosuo: "It's not early, don't waste time here, go back early."
"It's okay, Ye Zong, now is the crisis time for the company, I have to live and die with our company." Zhu Suosuo shook her head: "I know I can't do anything, and I can't help, but I can still order coffee and want desserts for everyone."
Looking at her determined appearance of bowing down and dying for the company, Ye Ye Jin Yan shook his head and smiled: "Why, not leaving with Yang Ke?"
Zhu Suosuo replied in a muffled voice: "I feel Yang Ke is too terrible..."
Fan Jingang, who was helping to put the food on the table on the other side, saw that Ye Ye Jin Yan rarely had a smile, and he also laughed, and he had a few looks of the past again, rambling: "You child is not too stupid. Following Yang Ke, sooner or later he will sell you, and you will still happily count money for him. How did Yang Ke rise? Isn't it because of Ye Ye Jin Yan's trust and promotion in Jingyan these years? As a result, look, he has a rebellious bone in his brain, wanting to put us to death. How can he be so ruthless? He doesn't care about feelings at all.
You heard it this morning, he was right. We promoted him to stabilize him, not to let him take away the key members of the sales department. But what he did today just shows that we didn't do anything wrong. Look at what he did? Helping competitor companies dig our people, creating news, suppressing Jingyan Group's stock price. In one day today, we lost billions. The subsequent projects that were suspended due to the impact, I don't know how much loss there is. Jingyan Group's industry status has fallen off a cliff.
You say this bastard did so much, what benefit did he get himself? This kind of thing that hurts others and doesn't benefit himself is only something he can do. Really, the more I say, the more angry I get. Don't let me catch him, otherwise I will smash his corpse into ten thousand pieces and make him suffer forever."
"Alright, say less. Since it has reached this point, what's the use of saying so much? It's a society ruled by law, who are you smashing the corpse of? Eat." Ye Ye Jin Yan waved his hand, looked at Zhu Suosuo standing on the side, and said: "You are also tired all day, go out and eat."
Zhu Suosuo nodded, just about to speak, when she saw Ye Ye Jin Yan's phone ring. He waved at her tiredly, and she sensibly turned and left the office.
Since it was said to that point, she, of course, couldn't leave. In the current situation, it was not like the original drama, Yang Ke's explosion was more ruthless. She, of course, couldn't speak in the middle, as if she was very emotional and righteous. Besides, she was just close to Ye Ye Jin Yan's side, and those messy small ambiguities had not happened yet, so she, of course, would not be so looking for death.
However, she didn't return to her workstation to eat boxed lunches, but went to a fast-food restaurant downstairs. Xie Hongzu was waiting for her there. Seeing her sit opposite, he pushed a glass of water over: "What do you want to eat?"
"A big bowl of beef noodles, order one for you too, I'll treat you." Zhu Suosuo scanned the code with her phone, ordered food independently, and then drank a sip of water, asking Xie Hongzu, who was holding his face and looking at her infatuatedly: "What are you looking for me for? The company is busy."
"It's precisely because it's busy that I came to find you." Xie Hongzu said seriously: "Jingyan's affairs today have spread, and the reasons have been inquired. Now people outside say Ye Ye Jin Yan is old and useless, not only was his means discovered by Yang Ke, but he also caused such a big trouble. If it weren't for the difficulty of changing the commander before the battle, Ye Ye Jin Yan would have been kicked out of Jingyan today. The whole business world is watching the fun, just waiting to see when Jingyan will collapse."
"No, Jingyan Group collapsed, why do you seem quite happy? Isn't Jingyan also purchasing your family's air conditioning."
"It's different, our family's air conditioning can always be sold, and it doesn't have to be sold to Jingyan." Xie Hongzu didn't know the embarrassment of his family's business and said heartlessly: "I came to find you, is to let you work with me. Really, Suosuo, you come to work with me, I'll pay you a salary. Aren't you an assistant now? When the time comes, you will still be my assistant, just responsible for eating, drinking, and playing with me."
"Stop, not to mention whether Jingyan Group will definitely go bankrupt, even if I go with you, isn't it still doing those jobs of serving people? I feel that the relationship between us now is quite pure, and I don't want to serve you under your hands. If that's the case, we are superiors and subordinates, and besides, I don't want to serve you." Looking at Xie Hongzu's disappointed eyes, Zhu Suosuo continued: "I'm telling you, Xie Hongzu, you really dare to think. What kind of idea are you playing? There is a secretary to do it, nothing... hmm? I'm telling you, I like money, but I'm not doing anything for money."
Listening to Zhu Suosuo's yellow jokes, Xie Hongzu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly: "I, of course, don't mean that, I just want to be with you. If you don't want to, we can start a business together. You are Fan Jingang's assistant now, your vision is high enough, and your sales are so powerful, plus some resources from my mom, it will definitely be done."
Zhu Suosuo inevitably compared, the gap was really too big. Both are rich second generations, look at Wang Yan, who is decisive, has outstanding ability, and is good in every way except for being a bit stingy, a truly peerless man. Look at the one in front of him, still looking for his mom...
She shook her head: "Forget it, I finally reached this position, and Jingyan Group may not go bankrupt. In this kind of time, I still have to fight for the company. If it survives, I think Ye Ye Jin Yan will not treat us people badly. Anyway, it's just one or two months, it will pass soon. When the time comes, let's talk. If it doesn't work, I'll go to you. The noodles are here, eat, eat, oh my, I'm telling you, I was busy to death today, didn't eat a few mouthfuls, my legs are going to be broken..."
"You eat more, come, this tea egg is for you..."
Dealing with Xie Hongzu, Zhu Suosuo returned to the company to pretend to be busy, occasionally running errands or sending drinks and coffee to people. Until past ten o'clock, she sent some late-night snacks to Ye Ye Jin Yan and Fan Jingang, showed herself, and under the urging of Ye Ye Jin Yan and Fan Jingang, she reluctantly went home.
There was no Jiang Nansun at home, and she didn't care, thinking she was living in the newly rented house of the Jiang family, or accompanying Dai Qian, so she just sent a message to complain about how busy she was today, and turned to send a few messages to Wang Yan, saying about the situation and expressing that she couldn't sleep together, and naturally didn't get any reply.
She washed up casually, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep after a while...
The situation changed, the sky was moody, and Shanghai had heavy rain. Lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting with the neon on the earth, thunder rumbled, the waves of the prosperous Shanghai Bund remained, and the traffic was still heavy. In such a situation, it added a bit of punk meaning, really having the feeling of "magic."
In Tomson Riviera, the clouds gathered and the rain stopped. Jiang Nansun, who had just experienced personnel, had not yet faded her flush, and leaned weakly in Wang Yan's arms. The previous madness made her excited to fatigue, but the uncomfortable pain made her unable to sleep for a while. Outside, thunder rumbled, the wind howled, and she felt that the thirty-sixth floor was crumbling. The uneasiness and emptiness of having just given herself away made her lack a sense of security.
"Aren't you afraid?" Letting that big hand play with her little treasure, she asked like this.
Wang Yan shook his head: "You are studying architecture, you should know about building structure and building materials. Besides, even if it really collapses, aren't I with you? There's nothing to be afraid of, sleep."
Jiang Nansun was quiet for a while, and then said with a hoarse voice: "When will our relationship be told to my parents?"
This was more particular, it was asking him for a guarantee, a bright and upright boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. On the other hand, it was knowing that he had an improper relationship with other women, hoping that he could be self-disciplined and single-minded. The cosmetics Jiang Nansun saw when she came for the first time were the woman with the big wavy hair's, he, of course, knew, but he was too lazy to clean up. After all, how could he be so un-meticulous, it was just that he didn't care. If Jiang Nansun turned over carefully now, she could even find the cosmetics and change of clothes Zhu Suosuo left here...
Jiang Nansun was different from Zhu Suosuo, and the treatment she received should also be different. Although Jiang Nansun was also a fake, pretentious "tea," the blood-stained bed sheet that had just been changed could make
Moreover, compared to Zhu Suosuo, although money is also a consideration for Jiang Nansun, at least it generally looks like she is playing for love. Furthermore, she keeps herself clean and has no messy past romantic history, which is the most important point.
Zhu Suosuo is different; she has a rich romantic history and is single-mindedly focused on becoming a wealthy wife. Wang Yan will not indulge her bad habits under any circumstances. Naturally, Zhu Suosuo will go find someone who can satisfy her; her relationship with Wang Yan is just a transaction, and there is no sense of belonging. If she wants to climb the social ladder and become a wealthy wife, Wang Yan cannot stop her, nor is there any reason to obstruct her pursuit of a beautiful future.
Although he is not short of money, cares even less about it, and does not want to throw it away on Zhu Suosuo. Because that would make her think she is very important, and that would be very bad. So, it is better to just let things be and maintain a simple, intimate relationship. Just as he said to Zhu Suosuo before, if she really becomes a wealthy wife for someone else in the future, he will even save money...
"That depends on you; you can tell them whenever you want to."
"Better to tell them a little later. After all, they were always trying to set me up with you before, and I didn't listen. Now that I'm with you after all, they'll definitely laugh at me."
"They are your own parents, what's there to laugh about?" Wang Yan shook his head, his hands not stopping their movements: "I think I should tell you some truths."
"Don't say it." Jiang Nansun hurriedly shook her head, opened her big eyes, and looked up at this man who belonged to her: "You won't be irresponsible, right?"
"Of course."
"You will handle it well, right?"
Wang Yan nodded, held her, and lay down: "Go to sleep."
Having already known that his private life had some issues, being with him felt much better and was much easier to accept than finding out he had other women after they were already together. Just like Jiang Nansun's current state, although the "handling" she spoke of still meant he had to cut ties with other women, the fact that there was no crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide, and no leaving right after sleeping together, already showed her level of tolerance.
A young lady who thinks she is not vain, is lazy and ignorant of the real world, and is single-mindedly pursuing illusory beauty is actually very easy to manipulate.
It is not that Wang Yan wants to compare, but originally Wang Yongzheng's romantic relationships should be even messier than his. After all, uninhibited men with some money who love to play are very popular with women who also love to play; in bars, nightclubs, and such places, he should be a prince, and in all likelihood, it is those women spending money. As for him, Wang Mou, he only has three women so far, so he is at a disadvantage in this regard.
But even with a person like Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Nansun was with him within a few months, and she hadn't even spent much of Wang Yongzheng's money.
As for the more excellent Wang Mou, naturally, there is no need to say much. Moreover, they have already established a substantive relationship, and it was her precious first time, so it is naturally even more secure, and there is no problem at all.
The rain fell all night and had not stopped by dawn. It could not really be called dawn; the dark clouds covered the sky, and it was gray and dim, just reaching the hour of daybreak. Wang Yan did not go out for a run again but drove to the market, killed a hen on the spot, bought some other vegetables, and ran to the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital to get some medicinal herbs. After eating breakfast, he returned home to stew his signature, highly effective chicken soup...
Jiang Nansun was groggy and stretched a big yawn before she had even opened her eyes. The quilt, which had not covered much to begin with, slid off due to her movement, revealing a large expanse of skin. Having experienced intimacy for the first time last night, her body felt uncomfortable today, and coupled with the strong air conditioning, the cool stimulation without the quilt's protection combined to wake her up instantly.
Looking at her own body, Jiang Nansun quickly pulled the quilt over herself. She scanned the room and found Wang Yan was not there, only then did she let out a long breath and relax. Recalling the wild impulses of last night, she blushed and giggled foolishly to herself.
After a good while, she let out a long breath, took her phone from the bedside, and checked the time; it was already past ten. She flipped through the messages from last night.
She replied to Zhu Suosuo, saying she stayed home yesterday, and asked how Jingyan Group was doing. She received a reply saying they were busy as hell, along with a description of the chaotic office environment at Jingyan Group. As for the "good morning" message Wang Yongzheng sent her, she thought for a moment and chose to ignore it.
After playing with her phone boredly for a while, she put on her clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and only then pulled open the bedroom door and walked out.
In the living room, the glass sliding door to the balcony was wide open, and the wind and rain from the thirty-sixth floor lashed in, making the curtains flap loudly. Wang Yan was swaying on a lounge chair. On the small table beside his hand was a small electric stove, and on top of it, a small clay pot bubbled with heat, the goji berries and red dates inside rolling with the hot water. He poured the tea from the small clay pot into a Jianzhan cup containing rock sugar, added water to the pot from a kettle nearby, and while holding the Jianzhan cup to drink hot tea, he watched the raging storm outside, feeling calm and content.
Having lived for a long time, the fun has diminished. Except for the hot blood stirred by affairs between men and women, ordinary times are always like a pool of stagnant water. It is inevitable to want to do something to amuse oneself, such as letting the wind blow and the rain wet the living room right now.
Jiang Nansun coughed on purpose. After walking closer, she kissed Wang Yan from behind and pressed against his face: "Morning."
Wang Yan grabbed her hand and stroked it: "You adapted quite quickly."
"I'm already yours, what's there to adapt to? I'm sticking to you now."
"I stewed chicken soup for you, it's very nourishing, good for nourishing yin and replenishing Qi, an ancestral secret recipe, the kind passed down to men but not women." While speaking, Wang Yan got up and brought her to the dining table to sit down, then went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, scooped the chicken soup from the clay pot, and placed it in front of her: "You drink it first, I reckon you won't be able to finish more than two bowls. I'll cook lunch later, and we'll just make do with something simple. The weather isn't very good, so we won't go out."
"I'll listen to whatever you say."
This was what Zhang Anren used to say to Jiang Nansun, but now that Jiang Nansun said it, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, because she really didn't think of Zhang Anren...
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Try it, see how it tastes?"
Jiang Nansun obediently tasted a spoonful; it was fresh, fragrant, and delicious, making her eyes squint with pleasure. She looked at Wang Yan in surprise: "You said you could cook before, I thought you could just make it edible, I didn't expect you to be this good."
"I'm just good at stewing old hens, I'm just average at other dishes." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Drink more, it's good for you."
Jiang Nansun nodded and hummed, took out her phone, and showed it to Wang Yan: "Look, this is what Suosuo just sent me, their company is a mess right now. I reckon my aunt was still too optimistic yesterday. Looking at how they are now, it doesn't look like they can hold on. Suosuo is Fan Jingang's assistant, she knows more, and even she says Jingyan Group won't last long."
Wang Yan glanced at it casually and shook his head: "Zhu Suosuo's level is limited. They look chaotic just because there are too many things to handle and they are rushing against time. It's not easy to bring down Jingyan Group."
Just as he was about to continue, the phone in his pocket rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered with a smile: "President Yang, congratulations, congratulations. Now you are free as a bird and have a bright future. The business news for the past two days is full of your stories. The name Yang Ke has truly entered everyone's field of vision; you are incredibly hot right now."
Yang Ke couldn't suppress his laughter as he spoke: "It's useless no matter how hot I am; it's all notoriety. Everyone is worried that I'm a villain, and no one will dare to use me in the future."
"You've already set up your own business now, why consider whether others will use you? Besides, with your ability, as long as you can make money, won't everyone be fighting to cooperate with you? You're too modest." Wang Yan asked with a smile: "So, is everything settled now?"
"Although this move was a bit rushed, there is more than one company cooperating with Dadi Hengxin. The sales staff I took with me all had seamless transitions and joined other companies with improved benefits. As for me, I'm partnering with Dadi Hengxin, the office location was ready-made, so we started working immediately; there's nothing to settle. How about you? You made a lot yesterday, right?"
"Speaking of that, I have to thank you. I prepared in advance and made two hundred million. It can't be you treating me to dinner; it has to be me treating you. I was just thinking of calling you to set a time. Tomorrow is Friday, how about tomorrow night?"
"Sure, but let's agree first, it must be me treating. You saved my life; how much you make is your ability. Besides, even if it's because of me, it's the cause you provided that led to the result. Don't fight me on this; I'll go find a restaurant and book a table now. I'll bring my girlfriend along to introduce her to you then. I'll send you the restaurant details on WeChat in a bit. That's it, we'll talk when we meet."
Yang Ke hung up the phone very decisively, as crisp as ever. Wang Yan smiled and tucked his phone into his pocket.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Nansun opened her eyes wide, full of suspicion: "Is that Yang Ke? I heard him say he wants to thank you? Could it be that you were involved in the whole Jingyan Group affair this time?"
"I can't say I was involved in the whole thing, I just heard that Yang Ke was promoted to Vice President, so I casually reminded him to be careful of Ye Ye Jin Yan's delaying tactics, so as not to be kicked out without getting anything. Then Yang Ke realized he was being calculated by Ye Ye Jin Yan, and naturally, he retaliated against Ye Ye Jin Yan for playing him like a monkey. If you really want to say it, I just started it. But in the end, the root of the matter lies with Ye Ye Jin Yan.
In your aunt's words, business is business. Since he made a mistake, it's no big deal to be caught and attacked by others, so don't look at me with the eyes of a conspirator. The business world is like a battlefield; victory and defeat are common occurrences for a strategist. If you can't afford to lose, don't come out and embarrass yourself. You also shouldn't use your perspective to pity Jingyan Group or Ye Ye Jin Yan. Jingyan Group's current market value is still seventy billion, and Ye Ye Jin Yan's net worth is still ten billion. Among Jingyan Group's past opponents, too many companies have been brought down; it's just their turn today."
"I don't pity Jingyan Group, and I pity Ye Ye Jin Yan even less." Jiang Nansun shook her head: "I just think that you did such a big thing and brought such huge trouble to Jingyan Group that it might go bankrupt, but you only made two hundred million; that's too little."
"I like hearing that." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, reached out to touch her face: "It's just that from beginning to end, I only said a few words. Aside from some spit, I didn't pay anything, so this money is equivalent to picking it up for free. Drink your soup, drink more, I'm going to drink tea and enjoy the wind."
Jiang Nansun returned a happy smile, watching Wang Yan leave, playing with her phone while drinking chicken soup, feeling wonderful...
At noon, Wang Yan cooked a sumptuous meal, which unsurprisingly received praise from Jiang Nansun. In fact, as long as it was edible and not too terrible, Jiang Nansun would praise it, and she would eat it with great relish.
Perhaps Zhu Suosuo was also free during lunch, and the two of them exchanged voice messages one after another. After Jiang Nansun replied to a message, she asked: "Brother Yan, do you think we should tell Suosuo about us?"
"Even your own parents are afraid of being laughed at, so why wouldn't Zhu Suosuo be? Didn't you say you were going to introduce us? But it will be public sooner or later, right? We are open and aboveboard, there's no need to hide it." Wang Yan smiled: "How about this, in a few days when their company stabilizes and she's not busy as an assistant, I'll go to where you live, and we'll give her a surprise? Scare her."
Jiang Nansun didn't think about what kind of surprise this would be... She just thought of Zhu Suosuo's surprised expression and grinned: "Then it's a deal. Oh, by the way, there's a lecture by an architectural master at our school tomorrow, do you want to go see it together? I can get two tickets, and we can go together. I know you have an appointment with Yang Ke, but the lecture is in the morning, it won't interfere."
"Forget it, whether it's East or West, I don't think those architectural masters' levels are as high as mine. You go yourself. I have to go to work tomorrow, I have work to do. How about this, I'll drop you off tomorrow morning, it'll save you from squeezing into the subway."
Jiang Nansun knew Wang Yan's architectural level was high, but it remained on paper and he had no notable achievements. So she just took it as Wang Yan's joking self-boasting and didn't take it seriously. She just nodded with some disappointment: "Alright then..."
Wang Yan didn't coax her, because it really wasn't necessary. He knew that in the original story, it was Zhang Anren who told her this news. She told Zhu Suosuo she wanted to go to boost Zhang Anren's face, so now she naturally still thought that way. Asking him to go along was nothing more than showing off in front of Zhang Anren. He didn't have the leisure for that, and besides, Zhang Anren was just so-so, and there was no conflict, so there was no need to go out of his way to disgust others.
As for the dinner with Yang Ke on Friday that Jiang Nansun mentioned, Wang Yan could see that Jiang Nansun wanted to go with him and wanted to attend some activities and meet some friends as his girlfriend. This was naturally impossible because he was going to be with the woman with big wavy hair that day.
Besides, Jiang Nansun was pouting and acting temperamental just after they got together, so naturally, he couldn't indulge her bad habits.
Of course, it couldn't be said that he didn't coax her at all. Because after spending a warm afternoon together, Jiang Nansun had adapted and recovered quite a bit, so he still coaxed her until midnight, and the effect was very good...
