Chapter 120
This board meeting was longer than the last one, as we spent half a day discussing some unnecessary things.
Ning Ruochu often felt the gaze of the Luo family's uncle, probably because his sudden departure last time left a deep impression on him.
If this happens several times in a row, even if she cannot be driven out of her high position, the directors will lose trust in her.
Last time, she acted with obvious malicious intent, but this time, Director Qi stood on her side, and Ning Ruchu felt clearly confident.
However, due to the tense atmosphere, he still showed a slightly uncomfortable expression.
After nearly two hours, it was finally over. Ning Ruchu let out a long sigh of relief, without concealing it, and was met with some disdainful looks.
She immediately lowered her head and dared not say a word.
……
There was still some time before the dinner, so Ning Ruchu suggested going out to eat. After a little hesitation, Ling Chuan agreed and asked Jiang Wanyu to accompany her.
The two took the special elevator down. In the silent space, Ning Ruochu suddenly said, "Ling Chuan knows that you have some skills?"
Morrison Ward's workload dropped sharply after the new driver took over.
After all, it was a waste of talent for a retired Royal Navy man to be her driver.
Jiang Wanyu chuckled: "Our team is doing something illegal."
In the parking lot, Payne Rogers waited at the elevator door for a long time. When he heard the noise, he stood quietly in front of the door with expectant eyes.
"Idol!" The moment he saw Ning Ruchu, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Payne Rogers couldn't contain his joy, and walked forward despite the elevator door not closing.
"I knew you would hire me!"
Ning Ruochu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said disdainfully: "Can you let us go out first?"
Payne Rogers realized it later, made way, and followed Ning Ruochu, chattering: "After you said you married the world's richest man, I immediately went to do some research, and when I found out they were recruiting drivers, I came here to sign up right away!"
"I thought I would be able to get through with my resume. After all, I am a professional racing driver and I don't want any extra compensation. But after submitting my resume, I found out that the salary for being a driver is more than what I can get in the car club!"
Payne Rogers was surprised and realized that he had gotten a great bargain, which made him more determined to become a driver.
“Since I started racing, I never thought about being a driver, but this is the first time I’ve felt so bad about being a driver.”
Not only can you meet your idol face to face, but you can also get a high salary!
The noisy sound made Ning Ruchu frown. She stopped and looked sideways.
A pair of almond-shaped eyes looked at him quietly, with a hint of coldness.
"Can you shut up?"
Her tone was calm, and it was a simple sentence, but Payne Rogers could sense a subtle fierceness.
The feeling struck his heart and made him silent immediately.
"The identity of O must be kept secret. I don't want to see myself in the headlines." Ning Ruochu warned him, "Besides, I don't speak English."
She withdrew her gaze and walked forward.
Payne Rogers was left alone, frightened.
He didn't quite understand the meaning of the second half of Ning Ruochu's sentence, but since it was his idol's request, he had to obey!
Jiang Wanyu followed Ning Ruchu and walked in front. He tilted his head and glanced back at Payne Rogers with some worry.
"You trust him so much?"
"Of course not." Ning Ruochu said calmly, "But even if he told others, what would happen?"
She knew that Yeyue's sudden departure was the signal that she was exposed.
Luo Zhouheng is "dead", no one is protecting her, Ning Ruchu has no choice but to be self-reliant.
It's time to take off this disguise.
……
Sitting in the car, Ning Ruochu looked at Payne Rogers in front of him, worried: "Do you know how to use the navigation?"
I just came to China, I am not familiar with the place and I don’t know Chinese.
Morrison Ward often travels outside and is familiar with the terrain and routes in advance.
And Payne Rogers cannot even be considered a qualified driver. Even though he performs well in car races, he doesn't even know which way to go when he is away from the existing track.
Jiang Wanyu, sitting in the passenger seat, said helplessly, "Secretary Ling asked me to turn on the navigation system to ensure that we can reach our destination smoothly."
Ning Ruochu raised an eyebrow and said self-deprecatingly: "I have to have two people waiting on me every time I go out. I am really proud of myself."
Ling Chuan is really alert.
Among the people around him, only the driver is not within the scope of Luo Zhouheng's influence organization.
Hiring a driver who doesn't speak Chinese and is not familiar with China will not only prevent them from knowing the discussions of the people in the car, but also prevent them from tracking her whereabouts.
"Little..." Jiang Wanyu paused, thought for half a second, and changed the address: "Madam, where are we going?"
Ning Ruochu answered nonchalantly, "Wucong Hotel."
Jiang Wanyu immediately found the best route and directed Payne Rogers to drive.
……
Luo Group, President's Office.
After hearing that the board meeting was over, Luo Gaohan and Luo Rongxian hurried over and asked what went on in the meeting and whether Ning Ruchu left as before.
Uncle Luo maintained his kindness throughout the whole process, but now that there were no outsiders around, he let out his frustration.
He slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Director Qi is really old and confused. He actually stands on Ning Ruchu's side!"
After hearing this, Luo Gaohan and Luo Rongxian frowned.
They knew Director Qi's power of speech and deterrence. After the old man passed away, they showed their affection to him several times in an attempt to win his support, but they were unsuccessful.
And now, he actually chose Ning Ruchu? !
It's really unbelievable.
"After grandpa passed away, Director Qi became the core figure of the entire consortium. How could he support Ning Ruchu at such a critical juncture?" Luo Rongxian was puzzled.
"He has always been an old stubborn man." Uncle Luo snorted coldly.
"I thought that the effort and attention that Director Qi put into the Luo Group would outweigh his conservative mentality." Luo Gaohan sighed.
The older generation always has an extraordinary obsession with the word "orthodoxy".
As Ning Ruochu was Luo Zhouheng's designated successor, he would naturally support him, just like he supported Luo Zhouheng at that time.
"What should we do now? Director Qi is highly respected, Ning Ruchu has Ling Chuan's support, and they have been having close contacts with the Dong family recently. The advantages we have worked so hard to gain will soon change." Luo Rongxian was a little anxious.
The last attempt to alienate the relationship between Ning Ruochu and the Dong family not only failed, but instead made them move further.
Even if the Dong family has not given in, it is still a big threat.
The Luo family's master gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Luo Zhouheng is really capable."
Even though the person was dead, it still affected the situation of the Luo family.
If it weren't for his advance deployment, Ning Ruchu would have been swallowed up by this complicated world of fame and fortune.
"Since we can't block her way, let's start with her!" Uncle Luo's eyes were sinister and filled with a heavy murderous aura.
……
As one of the major hotel chain brands in China, Wucong is a place where wealthy people gather.
Therefore, Ning Ruchu was not surprised to meet the Ning family here. Ning Xiangchen followed a man in a suit and tie and walked out the door with laughter, and happened to bump into her.
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while.
The smile on Ning Xiangchen's face suddenly froze, and he was even afraid to look at Ning Ruchu.
The last time public opinion was controlled by the Luo family, the Ning family suffered a great blow.
Many people changed their cooperation midway and lost a big order.
A lot of partners have been lost, and only the Wu family is left with a large scale, so he would come to negotiate urgently.
"It is a great honor for my restaurant to have Mrs. Luo visiting." Chairman Wu stepped forward politely.
Ning Ruochu smiled and responded: "I heard that Wucong has delicious food, beautiful environment, and thoughtful service. I have wanted to come and try it for a long time."
"It's our honor that Mrs. Luo likes it. It's a pity that I have other business to discuss and cannot accompany Mrs. Luo." Chairman Wu said tactfully.
Ning Ruchu nodded, and when he looked up he deliberately glanced at Ning Xiangchen, then looked away fearfully.
It was a tiny movement, but anyone present who was either a meticulous boss or a sharp-eyed senior employee could see it more or less.
Ning Xiangchen felt a vague gaze and felt a little embarrassed.
But he is Ning Ruchu's father, how could he bow his head and admit his mistake to her?
Thinking of this, he felt a little tougher.
Even when Ning Ruchu passed by him and went upstairs, Ning Xiangchen didn't even give her a glance.
……
Ning Ruchu found the meal boring and planned to go back after staying for half an hour.
Inside the car, Jiang Wanyu leaned over and handed her the iPad.
The moment the door opened, Ning Ruchu, with her face covered with tears, jumped into view.
Her hair was disheveled and her expression was terrified.
When she saw them, she felt like she had seen a savior, and subconsciously threw herself into the arms of Sister Lin, who was closest to her, and cried loudly.
All his weight was leaning on Sister Lin, like a delicate dodder.
The moment the glass was broken, she calculated the time and pretended to be seriously frightened before the people in the villa arrived.
Mrs. Lin patted her back gently and whispered comforting words.
The housekeeper was relieved to see that she was not injured, but was also very angry.
He first calmed Ning Ruchu down and said, "Madam, don't worry. We have the world's top guards hiding around the villa. Your personal safety will not be threatened."
This was the first time the housekeeper said this to Ning Ruchu after she got married for a year.
He also felt a little guilty.
The security of the villa is fully under the charge of Shadow Pavilion. No terrorists have ever sneaked in before and were always blocked and arrested on the outskirts.
Why is there such a big commotion this time?
The housekeeper left and asked Sister Lin to stay to comfort Ning Ruchu. She walked to the stairs and took out her cell phone. Suddenly she heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground and raised her eyes slightly.
He saw Yeyue downstairs, wearing a black tights and walking towards him with long legs.
The housekeeper frowned slightly, strode forward and asked her, "Commander Ye, what is going on?"
As one of the leaders of Shadow Pavilion, she would definitely not allow such a mistake to happen at this moment.
Ye Yue seemed not to understand the implication of his words, and replied: "An assassin sneaked in, and we have cleared them out."
The housekeeper looked a little unhappy.
He knew Yeyue was just trying to fool him, but there was nothing he could do.
Yingge is an independent organization under the name of Luo Zhouheng, and his authority is limited to this villa.
Yeyue walked briskly towards Ning Ruchu's room.
The door was half open, and she walked in without any hesitation.
Ning Ruchu, who was "frightened" and nestled in Sister Lin's arms in pain, was frightened by the sudden noise. Her body shook violently, which also scared Sister Lin.
She raised her head and glanced towards the door, her dazed and broken eyes fixed on Ye Yue who suddenly broke in. Her eyes were dazed, and she hastily looked away and nestled into Sister Lin's arms.
A pair of round and bright almond eyes were rippling with sparkling light, she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her lips were slightly open, and there were obvious teeth marks on her pale lips.
Her slender shoulders were trembling slightly, and the expression of fear on her face had not gone away, but became even worse with the arrival of Yeyue.
Luo Zhouheng, who was watching this scene quietly, sneered: This woman is really pretending!
Sister Lin hurriedly patted Ning Ruchu's back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Madam. She is here to protect you."
"Protect... protect me?" Ning Ruochu's voice trembled, and he finally faced Yeyue.
The woman, who was 1.7 meters tall and had a strong aura, frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and strode in front of Ning Ruchu.
Her steps did not slow down, and the sound of her high heels trembled in the same rhythm as her heartbeat.
Ning Ruchu pretended to be breathing rapidly, and when she approached, he deliberately moved backwards.
Yeyue glanced at Ning Ruchu, then turned to look at Mrs. Lin.
"I have something important to report to my wife."
Sister Lin gave Ning Ruochu a reassuring look and stood up.
Ning Ruchu's hand moved with her movements until she took two steps, then he withdrew his hand seemingly reluctantly.
When closing the door, Mrs. Lin glanced inside with a worried look in her eyes.
Having worked here for several years, she had seen Yeyue several times.
Ning Ruchu couldn't subdue that kind of aura.
Hearing the door close, Ye Yue took out a tablet and placed it on the table, and said straight to the point: "The killer in this attack is ranked 76th on the Universal Continent Killer List. When we were chasing him, he bit off the cyanide hidden in his mouth and committed suicide. The investigation has been entrusted to Shura Island."
Ning Ruochu lowered his head, glanced at the information on the tablet, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The sparkling white fingertips were blurred, as if covered by a layer of dark mist, and the original color could no longer be seen.
The special coating above was developed last year by the World's Highest Science and Technology Research Institute. It can shield all electromagnetic pulses and signal interference.
"This is a tool that the master left for you to communicate with the head of the Lingxin Hall." Yeyue said, "There is a scanner on the top. It can only be turned on with your fingerprint. The only number is the head of the Lingxin Hall, Qiao Weisong."
She was by Luo Zhouheng's side when he made his will.
There were only two people in the room, so he entrusted Ning Ruchu to Yeyue and set her fingerprint in the secret compartment.
Thinking of the past, Yeyue felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Luo Zhouheng was the most visionary leader she had ever met, and she knew this moment would come sooner or later.
Now that it had finally come, she found it a little too much to bear.
Yeyue adjusted his mood, the frustration and loss in his eyes were covered up by coldness, and he looked at Ning Ruchu who turned on his cell phone.
"Lingxin Hall has a special function, and there are instructions in the secretary Lingchuan gave you. The master considers your poor health and allows you to bring a Lingxin Hall doctor with you, but the identity of the founder must not be revealed."
Even they only knew about Luo Zhouheng's identity when they saw the documents attached to the will.
This is a secret known only to him and the head of Lingxin Hall.
"I see."
