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

Lu Yanci's face instantly darkened.

That bastard stole his lines!

That was his plan.

Wen Yubai didn't care about Lu Yanci's sharp gaze at all. He only looked at Su Ruan and said, "Praise me, praise me!"

Su Ruan was both amused and exasperated.

Where would you find something like this?

She was the one who wanted to invest, but in the end everyone contributed the money, and she still held the majority of the shares.

Even Zhou Zhengyang, who was engrossed in eating, stopped eating in a daze.

Is this how collaborations are negotiated in the world of the wealthy?

Not to mention Nguyen Tao Le Ji Ning.

Ruan Taole's family only runs a supermarket in a small county town. They don't lack living expenses, but they've never seen 2000 million yuan being spent so casually.

Ji Ning bit her lip even harder.

2000 million is an astronomical figure for her.

Xia Xingyou remained calm and composed, neither participating nor interrupting.

Su Qingqian looked at Su Ruan with starry eyes.

My own little sister is amazing.

She's good at studying and good at making money.

Su Ruan didn't think she was very capable. She wanted to refuse, but found that Su Qingyao and the others didn't object at all.

"I have no objection."

Su Qingyao was the first to agree.

Lu Yanci, who had just opened his mouth but was immediately silenced, was somewhat internally injured.

Lu Shuangshuang, who considers herself a big fan of Su Ruan, quickly chimed in, "I wholeheartedly agree with Sister Ruan Ruan organizing this event, since she's the one who takes the lion's share."

Su Chen'an always listened to his sister, so naturally he wouldn't undermine her.

"I have no objection either."

Now, only Lu Yanci remained silent.

Wen Yubai smiled and looked at Lu Yanci, "Young Master Lu, do you think this is unreasonable?"

Lu Yanci felt like he had swallowed a fly.

He had gotten along well with Wen Yubai before, so what's wrong with Wen Yubai today?

Why did he feel like he was being targeted by someone for no apparent reason?

He gave Wen Yubai a cold snort.

"That was my original idea."

Then he turned to Su Ruan and gave her a gentle smile.

"We've already taken your cake and stick today. We're already being generous by helping us make money; how can we let you put in both effort and money?"

Su Ruan: "..."

Doesn't anyone consider her opinion?

Well, she really didn't have any objections.

We are all adults, and we all have very mature investment acumen. If everyone thinks it's reasonable to do this, then it is reasonable.

Even if everyone has ulterior motives, Su Ruan doesn't find it unacceptable.

Judging from the current situation, there is nothing about her that would prevent others from plotting against her.

She looked at Zhou Zhengyang, "You've remembered everything, right? You'll be in charge of liaising with their manager later."

Zhou Zhengyang nodded. "Okay, President Su."

Su Ruan then introduced Zhou Zhengyang to everyone.

"I recruited Mr. Zhou Zhengyang at great expense, and I hope everyone will take good care of him in the future."

Only then did everyone realize what Su Ruan had invited Zhou Zhengyang to do at noon.

It turns out she had poached people to work under her.

For those who learned the inside story after the investigation, Su Ruan undoubtedly got a great deal.

Su Qingyao couldn't help but give Su Ruan a thumbs up, "Brilliant!"

She had paid some attention to someone like Zhou Zhengyang before, but she definitely didn't have the speed to react so quickly and recruit him to her team after his incident.

Because Zhou Zhengyang was unfairly blamed at the time, others had to consider many things before using him.

Su Qingyao acknowledged that Zhou Zhengyang was a talented individual, but her Su family was not lacking in such talent.

If Zhou Zhengyang were to come to her, she wouldn't mind giving him a chance.

Su Ruan, however, dared to quickly extend an olive branch to Zhou Zhengyang.

This not only demonstrates Su Ruan's boldness, but also his intelligence capabilities.

Just like this Ding Shi Ji (鼎食纪).

They only found out about this great project after Su Ruan had already decided to invest.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Su Ruan seems to have timed it perfectly.

Arriving too early means the boss hasn't given up hope and still thinks he has a chance to turn things around.

They arrived too late; the boss couldn't hold on any longer, and someone else got to eat their slice of the pie.

Just as the group finished discussing business, the door to the private room was opened again.

"Stir-fried deer tenderloin with Dendrobium officinale uses tender tenderloin from free-range sika deer in Northeast China, paired with fresh Dendrobium officinale from Huoshan and Termitomyces albuminosus mushrooms. It is stir-fried quickly over high heat to lock in the juices, making it tender and refreshing. The deer meat is warm and nourishing to the blood and qi, while Dendrobium officinale nourishes the stomach and promotes the production of body fluids. They complement each other perfectly."

Su Ruan couldn't help but lick her lips.

Venison!

She hadn't had it in a long time.

After this thought popped into her head, Su Ruan paused again.

Why would she say she hasn't had it in a long time?

Could it be that she ate it before?

Neither the small town where she and her grandmother lived together in her previous life, nor the small town where the original owner of this world lived, seemed like a place where venison dishes could be sold.

Filled with doubt, Su Ruan took a bite of the venison in front of her.

The texture...

Surprisingly, it does taste familiar.

She had actually eaten venison before.

It wasn't her body that ate it, nor her memory that ate it; it was she, she herself, who ate it.

Amnesia, time travel, and the original owner's amnesia often make it difficult for Su Ruan to distinguish between the memories of this body and the memories in her mind.

But today's feeling was incredibly clear, making her realize very clearly what she is.

Eat it all in one bite, then take another bite.

As Su Ruan ate the venison, she was also trying to find herself again.

But all I could remember was that familiar taste; I couldn't recall any specific details.

But Su Ruan was certain that in that lost memory, she had definitely eaten venison, and the memory was vivid.

"Astragalus and Truffle Chicken Shreds: Chicken shreds from free-range mountain hens, paired with thin slices of black truffle, and stir-fried in a clear broth with astragalus."

"Truffles enhance the flavor and aroma, while astragalus invigorates qi and strengthens the body, making them suitable for those who are fatigued and weak, and can relieve mental exhaustion."

Ruan Taole pouted and sighed, "With each dish served, I don't know what to say anymore."

"Venom, black truffles, and some deep-sea fish whose name I can't even remember—these are all things that sound so expensive I wouldn't want to order them. But thanks to Ruan Ruan, I got to eat them all today! Waaah~ I'm so happy."

Ruan Tao Le's words became increasingly exaggerated, causing everyone to burst into good-natured laughter.

Ji Ning also looked at Su Ruan with gratitude.

She is not an ungrateful person.

Ruan Taole may be exaggerating, but for her, it's reality.

Su Qingqian nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with Ruan Taole's words.

"Ruan Ruan, it's so good to know you."

Su Ruan wanted to say that, actually, I was eating it for the first time too, just like you.

But when she smelled the delicate fragrance of the black truffle in front of her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She... had also eaten black truffles.

Moreover, the black truffles she ate were of the same quality as those available today.

Su Ruan genuinely had no idea who she was.

The image of her grandmother's awkward attitude towards her in her previous life involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

She clearly doesn't like spicy food, but her grandma always likes to cook very spicy dishes and says that she likes to eat them.
