Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Zhou Zhengyang looked directly into the eyes of the girl in front of him.

But the other party neither dodged nor avoided.

Those eyes, which should have been alluring and seductive, shone with the same ambition and madness as his.

They're on the same wavelength; they're kindred spirits.

"In that case, Miss Su, where would you like to begin?"

"The path of high-tech not only requires a significant investment of time but also substantial financial support. I wonder if Ms. Su can endure it?"

"No, no, no!" Su Ruan shook her finger.

"We will not start with high technology."

"I've already planned out the first deal. Now you need to register the new investment company and get all the paperwork done. I won't get involved in any of that, and I won't be listed as a co-owner."

Zhou Zhengyang looked at Su Ruan, who, despite her young age, had arranged everything flawlessly.

The fact that she's not listed as an author is something that an ordinary girl wouldn't be able to understand.

But his new boss actually had nothing? The company hadn't even been established yet?

"Company name?"

Su Ruan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Major production."

"The Great System? The Great System Without Division? The Tao Te Ching?"

If Zhou Zhengyang's previous interest in Su Ruan stemmed from her ambition and the resources behind her, what he admired now was Su Ruan's knowledge.

A grand system is a comprehensive and integrated system, and a superb art of governance.

In the investment world, this signifies coordinating the entire industry chain, building a complete industrial layout, and controlling the top-level structure.

This is no ordinary ambition or vision.

high!

That's brilliant!

"Yes, large-scale capital."

Su Ruan nodded.

"Here is 20 million, the company's initial capital."

Zhou Zhengyang stared intently at the card Su Ruan pushed towards him.

Once he accepted the card, he was truly bound to this new boss.

Zhou Zhengyang took a deep breath and accepted the card.

Su Ruan finally smiled with satisfaction.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

With her hands clasped together, Su Ruan gave her first command.

"Now, prepare your own contract."

"I'm hiring you as the CEO of my new company, with an annual salary of one million, plus 10% of the company's shares."

"If you are not satisfied with the salary I offered, we can make adjustments."

How could Zhou Zhengyang not be satisfied?

The salary that Su Ruan offered him was the standard salary for a top-tier CEO, which was much higher than his previous compensation.

His previous company was a startup, and even as the CEO, his annual salary was only 20.

After the Series B funding round, his annual salary rose to 50 yuan, but at that point, he was kicked out of the company.

Moreover, Susoft gave him an additional 10% equity stake.

"We'll talk about it when Miss Su thinks I deserve a higher salary."

Zhou Zhengyang was also very impolite.

Su Ruan was very satisfied with this cooperation.

"Alright, after the contract is signed, you will be my authorized representative. I still need to finish my studies. I can only provide you with solutions for external matters; the actual execution will be up to you."

After the contract was signed, the food was served.

"Logically, I should have dinner with you, but as you can see, I just had a meal, and I don't drink alcohol, so I'll have tea instead."

Zhou Zhengyang wasn't one to be bound by formalities; on the contrary, he found it more comfortable to deal with people like Su Ruan.

After clinking glasses, Su Ruan left Zhou Zhengyang behind.

"Take your time eating. I'll head back now. You can figure out how to handle the paperwork yourself. If you need to report anything, just contact me via email."

"Oh, if you have time tonight, come with me to check out a venue; it's our first investment target."

Zhou Zhengyang nodded in agreement.

"President Su called me tonight."

"Okay then."

After successfully recruiting Zhou Zhengyang, Su Ruan decided not to hold the banquet tonight in the school's fourth-floor cafeteria.

"By the way, we don't have a car yet. After we get the paperwork sorted out, let's go buy a Maserati Levante, the top-of-the-line model."

Zhou Zhengyang: "Okay, President Su."

Su Ruan had always longed for that Maserati that allowed her to stretch her legs, and now that she had the money, the first thing she wanted to do was arrange it.

Moreover, the company needs a car to project an image.

Having finally gotten rid of the mess, Su Ruan got into a taxi feeling much lighter.

Su Ruang just left the Sishui Pavilion.

After inquiring about who Su Ruan had hosted at the Sishui Pavilion, they went to Wubo.

Su Qingyao, Lin Mo, Wen Yubai, Lu Yanci, and Su Wanjun.

"Zhou Zhengyang, who is Zhou Zhengyang?"

Only after this investigation did they discover how Zhou Zhengyang, once so full of vigor, had been completely taken advantage of by his teammates.

What did Su Ruan want with him?

For Lu Yanci, this was also the first time he truly faced Su Ruan squarely.

Su Ruan doesn't seem to be the aloof academic genius he previously thought she was.

Therefore, the image she presents to him may only be one side of her.

Su Ruan, are you that little cutie?

Of course, besides these five groups of people, some others also found Sishui Pavilion by following Zhou Zhengyang's lead.

But the news was silenced.

All they knew was that Zhou Zhengyang entered the Sishui Pavilion, but they had no way of knowing who he met or what he discussed.

The fifth floor of the Sishui Pavilion.

Lin Xiran gazed intently at the man who stood with Xiaobai by the window, looking longingly at the path in the courtyard.

It was just a woman walking by, and they stood there by the window for so long.

What exactly is the relationship between that woman named Su Ruan and the man in front of her?

They can't be lovers, can they?

Illegal daughter?

Looking at their eyebrows and eyes again, they really do look seven or eight parts alike.

Because their temperaments were so different, she didn't notice it at first.

Thinking of that guess, Lin Xiran's gaze darkened.

No wonder Xiaobai was so enthusiastic about that woman.

No wonder that one phone call was enough to make that man drop everything and fly back, even though he was away on a business trip.

The Su family and the Lu family...do they know? Or is it because they know that they're getting close to that woman?

Lin Mo had said before that Su Ruan was just a liar, but she didn't believe him. Now it seems that she might have really misunderstood!

Damn it!

Su Ruan was unaware that the woman who loved to overthink had given her a new identity.

She went back happily.

Unexpectedly, I ran into my senior, Su Qingyao, at the school gate.

"Qingqian said you're going out for dinner tonight? I'd like to join in the fun."

Su Ruan: Uh...

Why do I have to join in the fun?

However, since it was a thank-you banquet that evening, and Su Qingyao had spoken up for her quite a bit, it wouldn't hurt for her to go along.

Moreover, Su Qingyao was quite familiar with the girls in her dormitory.

Su Ruan readily agreed, "That's wonderful!"

"It's a deal then! See you tonight!"

Su Qingyao raised an eyebrow slightly as she watched Su Ruan leave in a good mood.

She finally managed to squeeze in.

Others may not know what happened at the hospital yesterday, but the Su family knows everything.

Su Ruan, who doesn't show off her skills, actually cured an illness that even Wen Yubai, the successor of the divine physician, couldn't cure.
