Chapter 130
Zhou Yun had a bad feeling, so she quickly grabbed her wrist and whispered, "Madam!"
Dong Zhaoyan raised an eyebrow, surprised by Ning Ruchu's reply, raised his chin towards her and said, "Go on."
Ning Ruchu broke free from Zhou Yun's restraints. She was usually too weak to handle heavy tasks, but at this moment she showed some tenacity.
She pursed her lips, a little embarrassed: "Although Ah Heng handed the consortium to me, I am not actually in charge. President Dong should also know that I am just a figurehead and do not actually have any power."
Everyone in the wealthy circle knows about these things.
"So?" Dong Zhaoyan listened to her continue with interest.
Zhou Yun still wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that President Dong was interested in this, she felt a little hope in her heart, which overwhelmed the panic that came from President Dong's anger over Ning Ruchu's unfounded words.
"Secretary Ling also told me your request, but I don't think you need to focus on me." Ning Ruochu's voice was weak, and it sounded like she was timid inside but mustered up the courage to say it.
Dong Zhaoyan sneered: "Mrs. Luo thinks so?"
Public opinion arose because of Ning Ruchu, and all of Ling Chuan's actions were to protect Ning Ruchu's position.
And what's the difference between her words and saying that their efforts are misplaced?
"Actually, I don't want this family fortune. Now that Ah Heng is dead, I don't have any more wishes." Ning Ruochu spoke more and more humbly. "Although the public opinion is unpleasant, it is also true. I really shouldn't be sitting in this position. But..."
She paused, raised her eyes, and her gaze was more determined than ever before.
"Ah Heng entrusted his inheritance to me with confidence. Even if I am laughed at by everyone, I will try my best to take on all of this. My reputation is not important. What is important is to protect Ah Heng's hard work."
Hearing these words, Dong Zhaoyan's pupils flickered slightly and he was somewhat moved.
After two seconds of silence, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Luo is very self-aware. Her self-sacrificing attitude is admirable."
A bright light suddenly flashed in Ning Ruochu's eyes, like a shooting star.
"It's a pity that your sacrifice can't get you anything." Dong Zhaoyan's words were cold, like a basin of cold water poured down, soaking and extinguishing the light in Ning Ruchu's eyes.
Dong Zhaoyan witnessed her emotional transformation and changed the subject, "But you are right about one thing. The future of the Luo family cannot rely on you."
"I'll arrange another time to talk to your secretary."
Ning Ruochu's eyes suddenly widened in surprise. She thanked him happily, "Thank you, Mr. Dong, for giving us the opportunity."
Bow deeply and sincerely.
Dong Zhaoyan glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, took a step forward, and reminded Dong Qingran who was still standing there.
"Qingran, let's go."
Ning Ruochu raised her eyes and met Dong Qingran's inquiring gaze and smiled back.
Dong Qingran's expression was slightly shaken, his pupils were unfocused, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. He followed Dong Zhaoyan's pace a beat slower.
After walking for a distance, she sighed, "Few people can move their mother with words."
Dong Zhaoyan was also surprised. She sighed softly, "The business world is full of twists and turns. Merchants put their own interests first. It's rare to see someone so sincere."
She never judges a person based on rumors.
Ning Ruchu confessed her weakness candidly. Even though it was something known to everyone, it was really admirable to hear her say it herself.
With the strength of the Dong family and the support of the Oliverland Consortium, Dong Zhaoyan has no shortage of partners and does not need to rely on the Luo family to achieve anything.
There are risks in reaching cooperation with the Luo family now.
Dong Zhaoyan and Ling Chuan reached an agreement just out of curiosity.
In what kind of hands did Luo Zhouheng's lifelong efforts fall? And what way out did he leave for it?
……
Zhou Yun didn't react until Dong Zhaoyan took Dong Qingran away.
She turned her eyes to Ning Ruchu and said, "Madam, what you just said was really unexpected."
Normally, in order to gain cooperation, everyone will try their best to show their best side and prove that they are capable of doing the job.
However, Ning Ruochu broke with his usual attitude and honestly responded that he could not do these things, which had an unexpected effect.
Luo Zhouheng also commented: "Instead of desperately trying to reach a height that is difficult for you to reach, it is better to be honest with the other party about your shortcomings and say no appropriately."
He paused and smiled softly: "On the contrary, sincere partners are easy to convince people and can gain the favor of business people."
As a businessman, honesty and integrity are important.
Ning Ruochu's frankness just now made Dong Zhaoyan feel more at ease with her.
If you show a little bit of your edge, you will be suspected, which will have the opposite effect.
Ning Ruchu doesn't quite understand the rules of the business world, but she understands human nature.
Hearing Luo Zhouheng's praise, a sincere smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
"Thank you for the compliment, husband~"
The voice in his consciousness was so sweet that it passed through his brain.
Luo Zhouheng's invisible body trembled violently, and the sweet voice permeated his heart, like ripples of melted candy, which made people immerse themselves in it and linger.
"Mrs. Luo!" A familiar voice, very soft, with a hint of anxiety.
Ning Ruchu rolled her eyes imperceptibly, controlled her expression and turned away.
After checking everything, the housekeeper smiled and explained, "Mrs. has passed away, and she is depressed and insecure, so she doesn't want to receive any guests. Miss Sheng is an old acquaintance of Mr. and is here to mourn him, so we let you in, but the security measures still need to be strict."
The matter of the killer must be kept secret throughout the villa.
This incident had a huge impact, and Ning Ruchu had just come to power, which was very disadvantageous to her.
Of course, he couldn't tell Sheng Qianwei the truth.
Sheng Qianwei sneered in her heart after hearing this.
He can't even accept this little setback and has developed paranoia. How can he manage the entire Luo company?
When we arrived at the living room, the servants had already prepared tea and snacks.
Upstairs, Ye Yue, who had received the news, looked at Ning Ruochu who was still fiddling with the snake and reminded her, "She's already here."
Ning Ruchu didn't react.
After two seconds of silence, she suddenly asked, "Does Ah Heng and her really have an old relationship?"
Ye Yue did not give a direct answer, but said: "Sir, you are busy with affairs and have no time for love affairs."
"Yes." Ning Ruochu said sadly, "Except for some necessary occasions, we barely see each other a few times a year."
She closed the breeding box and put down the tweezers.
Just when Yeyue thought she was going to go down, Ning Ruchu suddenly turned around, walked to the other wall, and looked at the creatures in the breeding box.
She suddenly realized something, took a deep breath, and asked Yeyue for help in a panic: "My scorpion is gone!!"
Yeyue frowned and went forward to check.
The feeding box was empty.
She glanced at the lid, which had shifted slightly, revealing a gap the size of a fist.
He must have sneaked out.
Ning Ruochu was so anxious that she almost cried: "That's the variety that Ah Heng gave me specially. It's poisonous."
When Yeyue heard this, she felt incredible.
Why would you keep poisonous creatures at home?
She gathered her thoughts, pressed her fingertips on the earphone, and said seriously, "The scorpion has escaped from Madam's room. Bring professional equipment to capture it immediately."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Ning Ruchu.
"We will capture it as soon as possible. Before that, please do not stay in this room."
Ning Ruochu sobbed silently, wiped the tears from her eyes, and immediately left the room and went downstairs.
The back figure was a little flustered, and it seemed that he was very scared. In the room, Yeyue took out the communicator he carried with him and dialed the number.
……
In the living room, the butler spotted Ning Ruochu with his sharp eyes, walked to the stairs and bowed slightly, with a respectful and humble attitude: "Madam."
The tone was noticeably gentler and more respectful than before.
Sheng Qianwei felt very uncomfortable and turned around.
Ning Ruochu walked down the stairs and slowly walked towards this side.
Today she was wearing a pearly white silk top with her bow tie neatly tied to perfection.
The light pink hip-hugging skirt is elegant and simple, but the dark patterns are exquisite and delicate, and a slight shift of the shape will give off a sense of light.
The skirt is below the knees, revealing smooth and slender calves.
The lines are smooth, and the skin under the sun is like white jade, with a faint halo.
Sheng Qianwei was horrified: Is this really that bumpkin? !
Two hours later, the meeting ended.
Ling Chuan rushed over without stopping, knocked on the door and entered. Seeing that Ning Ruchu looked back to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned sideways and asked Ran Yunqing who was standing beside him: "What is the condition of Madam's health?"
Ran Yunqing rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
Haven’t we found a lot of doctors to treat Ning Ruchu in the past two years?
Why are you asking me?
"Ma'am, she..."
Ran Yunqing's voice suddenly stopped.
Ling Chuan was instantly anxious: "What happened to Madam? Is she suffering from an incurable disease?!"
Ning Ruochu: “…”
Ran Yunqing: “…”
I am not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but I am afraid of Chinese medicine looking down on people.
She had only hurriedly stuffed two pieces of pastry into her mouth before Ling Chuan came in, and before she had even swallowed them, she had already made him so excited.
"It's not that serious." Ran Yunqing explained, "Madam is weak and frail. It has been a long-term condition and it is difficult to treat."
Seeing that Ling Chuan was about to have another attack, she hurriedly said, "But as a disciple of the head of Lingxin Hall, I have my own way of dealing with this. Madam has insisted on taking medicinal food in the past few years, and her qi and blood have recovered a little, but if she wants to truly recover, I need to use acupuncture, moxibustion, medicine and other treatments to be effective."
Ling Chuan was relieved: "Thank you, Doctor Ran."
He held out his hand, gesturing "please".
"My wife and I have something to discuss. Doctor Ran, please step aside."
The head of Lingxin Hall is a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and his disciples are naturally respected.
Staring at the office door closing, Ling Chuan turned around, leaned down beside Ning Ruochu, and lowered his voice: "Madam, Madam Ye said a few days ago that she wanted to see you, but I saw that you were not in a good state and had been through so many things, so I declined."
Ye is not a rare surname.
But from her current identity and the respectful tone Ling Chuan used when he mentioned the old lady, Ning Ruchu could roughly guess who she was.
He raised his eyes, with some surprise in them.
"Ah Heng, does he have a good relationship with that old lady Ye?"
Lingchuan is not in a position to reveal too much.
The more you know, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
Ning Ruchu saw that he was silent and didn't ask any more questions.
He just made a silent note in his heart that he would investigate the relationship between Luo Zhouheng and the Ye family.
"The newly hired driver for you is already on standby downstairs." Ling Chuan straightened up.
Ning Ruochu was puzzled: "Why do you want to hire a new one? What about the previous driver?"
Ling Chuan smiled slightly: "Three of them were injured, two won the lottery and resigned, and one returned home to retire."
Ning Ruochu: ...These six guys are really cool.
"This is a very normal situation. Your new driver is an honorably retired member of the Yashengde Royal Navy." Ling Chuan's lips curled slightly, "Accidents are inevitable, and he can protect you better."
Ning Ruchu had known about no less than ten car accidents in the two years since she got married.
On two occasions, she suffered greatly from it, and it was no wonder that the driver refused to do it.
It is not easy for Luo Zhouheng to live till now.
Ling Chuan still has to deal with company affairs, so Ye Yue and Ning Ruo Chu go with him.
In a private parking lot, the elevator door opened and a muscular man suddenly came into view.
He was over 1.80 meters tall, wearing simple black clothes and black pants, and his skin was a healthy bronze color.
Thin clothes cannot hide his powerful and explosive muscles.
The man obviously recognized Yeyue. He nodded slightly at her and turned sideways to lead the two of them towards the car.
Yeyue's indifferent voice seemed even colder in the empty parking lot, as if snow had suddenly fallen.
"He doesn't understand Chinese."
Ning Ruochu looked up and asked, "Then how do I communicate with him?"
"His duties are to escort and protect. There is no need to communicate with him." Ye Yue paused, "If you have any instructions, let me convey them."
Ning Ruochu smiled and said, "Thank you."
He lowered his eyes, and his gentle and calm pupils quickly sank, as deep and mysterious as an ancient pond.
It is protection, but also surveillance.
This driver does not belong to any force under Luo Zhouheng's name.
They didn't want her to associate with other people.
Fear gripped her heart like an icy poisonous snake, making it impossible for her to breathe.
He actually calmed down, standing there stiffly, not daring to move at all.
Instead, it gave the scorpion a chance, and its stinger pierced into the skin and came out in an instant.
Sheng Qianwei only felt a momentary sting, and the nerves in her calves gradually became numb.
Before Butler Chen's call could be made, the door of the villa was opened again, and a team with tight security came in at the right time.
Seeing the black object on Sheng Qianwei's leg, they hurried over and surrounded Ning Ruchu.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am. We will handle it as soon as possible!"
Sheng Qianwei felt like she had found a savior. The tears that she had been holding back due to fear began to flow again. She collapsed and yelled, "Get it away from me quickly!!"
Ning Ruochu seemed to be frightened by Sheng Qianwei's reaction. She trembled and curled up in a corner of the sofa, pointing at the scorpion with a black body and an exceptionally thick tail with a worried look.
"That was given to me by Ah Heng. You must not hurt it!"
"Then what should I do?!" Sheng Qianwei was gradually losing her mind and yelled at the special personnel: "What are you still standing there for? Kill her quickly!!"
The special personnel stayed where they were, staring at the poisonous scorpion without blinking.
They had never seen this species before and didn't understand its personality or toxicity, but the way it wielded its pincers was obvious that it was in fighting mode.
