My Groom Ran Away - Chapter 58
Until Ruan Zhiyin set out to participate in CF’s new product launch event, she could not wait until Cheng Yuelin returned to China.
Speaking of it, this is the first time the two have been separated for so long since they got married.
He has been away for half a month. Even though he talks every day, Ruan Zhiyin still feels a little confused looking at the empty spot on the bed when he wakes up.
It is also strange that she never had such a strong feeling of missing someone when she was in work in the past.
Cheng Yuelin has one week to come back, even though Ruan Zhiyin wants to see him as soon as possible, he can’t affect his scheduled business trip.
In the VIP lounge of the airport.
Kang Yu went to the dining area to eat, Ruan Zhiyin sat alone on the sofa by the window, browsing the documents sent by Zhang Chun on the laptop screen.
When sliding down on the touchpad, my elbow moved slightly, and the pen on the side accidentally rolled onto the soft carpet beside my feet.
Ruan Zhiyin was about to bend over to pick it up, a familiar face appeared, picked up the pen first, and then handed it to her.
“Thank you.” The voice was not cold or cold.
Qin Yue travels to the United States much more frequently than she does, and Ruan Zhiyin is not surprised to meet him here.
Since she had already lost her emotions towards Qin Ju, she didn’t have to avoid him as if she was facing an enemy.
Qin Yue glanced at the screen on the desk, smiled and said, “As long as it is work, you are always so focused.”
His voice was familiar.
Ruan Zhiyin’s eyelashes moved slightly, and then closed the notebook and looked up at him, only to realize that the other party was feeling unfamiliar with exhaustion, without much energy.
I don’t know if it’s because Qin Zhize caused him a lot of trouble.
Qin Yue didn’t care about her indifference, lowered her eyes, and sat down on the solo sofa next to her: “Zhiyin, I used to think I knew you well, we are the same people.”
“We are different.”
Ruan Zhiyin frowned.
Regardless of his parents, Qin Yue lives in a complete family and receives the best education from an early age. In the eyes of teachers and elders, he doesn’t even have shortcomings.
Ruan Zhiyin envied this kind of life and used him as a role model, but then he was no longer attached because they were different.
“Yes, it’s really different.” Qin Jue’s eyes darkened slightly, and the bitter smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes.
She can be so decisive, leaving no room for withdrawal, much better than him.
After we met last time, Qin Ju always wondered if she ever loved him. Just as everyone thought she liked him in high school, he was still not sure.
But even if he is not sure, even now, he still doesn’t want to lose her like this, even though it seems to have become a delusion.
He paused, his voice dull: “Zhiyin, can we still be friends?”
Qin Yue didn’t expect him to get her back easily, but even if she didn’t deliberately avoid him, she would always be so cold, she could never see any hope, and it was really hopeless.
“Inappropriate.” Ruan Zhiyin retracted his gaze and shook his head. “In other words, I don’t want my husband to have any misunderstandings.”
When she first returned to Ruan’s house, she was subjected to a lot of gossip, so she tried to learn to become a person like Qin Ju, to integrate herself into that strange circle and get the so-called recognition.
At that time, Qin Ju treated her well, and Ruan Zhiyin was grateful, but she still couldn’t trust him completely, let alone calm her heart.
No matter how many mistakes and mistakes were made between Qin Ju and Ruan Zhiyin, Ruan Zhiyin knew that he hadn’t really betrayed and derailed. It’s just that he has a lot of things that he can’t give up, and she needs her to work hard to cater to, and he can’t resolve the contradiction.
Ruan Zhiyin wanted to have a home. Qin Ju had known her for many years, and she worked hard for it, but when she returned to China and faced everything, she realized how tired it is to be with Qin Ju.
After really pulling away, I just feel very relaxed.
Cheng Yuelin made her understand that she could be a little bit reckless, and didn’t need to cater to anyone to get any so-called approval.
“You don’t always need to emphasize this to me.” Qin Yue muttered and clenched his fist hard.
Whenever she mentioned other men, he was at a loss, his mind kept flashing their current intimacy, and his heart seemed to be cut by a knife, blood dripping with pain.
Ruan Zhiyin frowned: “Qin Jue, I always feel that you have your own principles, so that you won’t damage other people’s husband and wife relationship.”
Qin Yue smiled: “Zhiyin, you know very well why you got married. A few months ago, you were even worse than unfeeling strangers. Do you really feel that you love him?”
“No matter what the reason for getting married, the result is more important than the process.”
Ruan Zhiyin was not interested in explaining anything to Qin Ju.
“But Zhiyin, I can’t let go, I love you no less than him.” Qin Ju’s voice was filled with suppressed self-deprecating, “Or can you teach me how to put it all down?”
He looked at her cautiously, but could only see those calm and unwavering eyes.
When he spoke again, Ruan Zhiyin said with a cold voice: “Qin Jue, that’s not my duty. We don’t owe each other, so we can get together and stay away. Don’t let ourselves be so embarrassed.”
——
After flying for more than ten hours, I finally arrived in New York.
It is daytime when boarding, and daytime when landing.
Although a little tired because of the jet lag, Ruan Zhiyin first asked Zhang Chun about the situation after arriving at the hotel.
“Director Zhang said that the initial negotiations with CF were fairly smooth. As far as the technical level is concerned, Mr. Robert is very interested in Nanyin’s enzyme cutting technology. It’s just that…Nakamura Biotech gave a lower price.”
Kang Yu hesitated to finish before going to see Ruan Zhiyin’s expression.
Nakamura Bio has recently lost orders for several second-tier brands, and it is natural that they do not want to lose their cooperation with CF at the moment. The other party has cooperated with CF for many years, and now it gives a lower price, which is obviously more advantageous.
The negotiation between Zhang Chun and CF has been over half. If Nan Yin chooses to lower the price, he will indeed have a better chance, but he will also be drawn into the price war with Nakamura Bio.
“We won’t cut the price.” Ruan Zhiyin thought for a moment before adding, “You go and tell Zhang Chun, you don’t have to be burdened. It’s good to be able to get the CF order this time, but even if you can’t get it this year, you can wait for next year. ”
In terms of pressure, Nakamura Bio, which has just invested on a large scale in the medical business, is definitely greater than them.
“Then CF’s new product launch event tomorrow?”
“Since we were invited, we still have to go and see. We didn’t act privately, it doesn’t mean that others didn’t.” Ruan Zhiyin smiled, “If you find out what the other party has done, it won’t be too late to find a way to get in touch.”
…
Have a good night’s sleep to adjust the jet lag.
On the second day, Ruan Zhiyin and Kang Yu were invited to participate in the new product launch event organized by CF at the SIMO Hotel.
The representative Nakamura Biotechnology sent to discuss with CF this time is Ishida, the vice president of R&D. Mr. Ishida has an unusual status and is the son-in-law of the chairman of Nakamura Biosciences.
Ruan Zhiyin knew that Zhang Chun had unhappiness with Ishida when he was employed by Nakamura Bio. Since the other party was able to squeeze Zhang Chun out of his job by nepotism, it was obvious that he was very active.
On the CF side, it was Mr. Robert and the design director who had just airborne to decide the partner. Since Mr. Robert is somewhat interested in Nan Yin, Mr. Ishida cannot guarantee that he will not contact the other one.
Sure enough, after the press conference, Ruan Zhiyin and Kang Yu came out of the show and saw that Mr. Ishida took a young man into the hotel box.
It’s just that the man’s back is still a bit familiar, Ruan Zhiyin can’t think of where he’s seen him.
…
To participate in activities, Ruan Zhiyin stepped on high heels all day. After returning to the hotel, she changed her clothes and went into the bathroom, taking a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.
After I came out, I just took off the mask on my face, and I received a call.
“My dear, I made an appointment for you. Tomorrow night, at the restaurant we used to go to.” In the microphone, there is a Chinese female voice with some accents.
Ruan Zhiyin smiled after hearing this: “Camille, thank you, look back—”
“Stop, you are always so polite, how much food have I eaten from you in the past few years, do you still need to thank you for a small favor?”
Camille is a half overseas Chinese. His father is Japanese and his mother is Chinese, but he grew up in the United States.
She was Ruan Zhiyin’s roommate when she was studying abroad, and she is also the closest classmate. After arriving in the United States, Ruan Zhiyin also made many friends after leaving the depressive environment.
Hearing what the other party said right now, Ruan Zhiyin reluctantly replied: “Okay, then if you need my help in the future, remember to tell me.”
“Relax, I won’t be polite.” After the other party finished speaking, he immediately asked, “By the way, are you and Brian married this time back to China?”
Ruan Zhiyin paused: “I did get married, but it was not him.”
“Wow, ok, I understand.” The girl dragged her witty tone, “However, I still wish you a happy marriage.”
Camille grew up in the United States and changed her boyfriend very diligently, as if it was totally unexpected that Ruan Zhiyin married someone else so soon.
Ruan Zhiyin knew that her blessing was sincere, and smiled and replied, “Thank you.”
When she hung up the phone, she dried her hair and clicked on WeChat, only to realize that Cheng Yuelin hadn’t contacted her all day.
In the WeChat dialog box, there is still a message sent by the two yesterday.
[Before boarding the plane, I ran into Qin Yue in the waiting room. ]
[Well, I see, tell me when I return home. ]
Did not say much about other things.
The more plain the man’s attitude is, the more Ruan Zhiyin feels something is wrong.
However, the two of them are always busy with work on business trips, afraid to disturb him, and after a jet lag, although they missed a little, they secretly complained about his behavior of not sending news, but Ruan Zhiyin still did not broadcast the phone, and sent a good night. Lie down on the bed.
——
The next day, Zhang Chun came forward to discuss with CF and basically ended, but CF did not give a direct answer.
After the meeting with Zhang Chun, he finished handling the work sent from China. In the evening, Ruan Zhiyin went to a restaurant not far from the hotel.
When she reached the reserved table number, the person Camille had arranged for her had already arrived.
The other party raised his eyes and opened his mouth unexpectedly: “So you are Alva?”
Ruan Zhiyin looked at a familiar face in front of him, dressed completely different from that of the other party, and did not speak for a while.
She didn’t expect that the Chinese design director of CF was actually the boy she met while traveling in Fiji.
“Sister, don’t you have forgotten me? It’s sad.” Shen You’s expression seemed a little disappointed.
“I just, I didn’t expect you to be the design director of CF.” Ruan Zhiyin sat down opposite him, nodding with a smile, “Director Shen, lucky to meet.”
“Oh? It seems that I am too young to look at?” Shen You raised his eyebrows.
He is now wearing a serious suit, but he still can’t hide his youthfulness. He is indeed younger than his actual age.
Ruan Zhiyin nodded when he heard the words, agreeing with his statement.
Shen You smiled: “You know Camille so well, you should know about me, so don’t you think about me again?”
CF is backed by the Coter Group, and Shen You’s father is a director of the Coter Group. Ruan Zhiyin also understands that this airborne design director will probably be promoted soon.
Although Mr. Robert is the vice president of CF and he has shares, Shen You also has a lot of weight when it comes to choosing a partner.
Seeing that she did not speak, Shen You said: “You know very well that CF has been working with Nakamura Bio for five years. This alone has an advantage over Nan Yin.”
It looked as if she was really tempting her to change her mind.
Ruan Zhiyin shook his head and met his gaze: “Didn’t Camille tell you that I am really married?”
Lin Heng has always had a solid cooperation with Coter Group. If she wants to go through the back door, she should also ask Cheng Yuelin for help. It’s just that Ruan Zhiyin likes the sense of accomplishment that he has gained, whether it is an exam in the student days or business talks. If Cheng Yuelin helped her, it would be meaningless.
“Well, it’s just a joke.” Shen You sighed and shrugged. “I just regret that a girl who is so destined to me got married.”
“Director Shen, since you already know my purpose, then I will open the skylight to speak up.” Ruan Zhiyin sipped the water that the waiter had just handed him, “I saw yesterday, Mr. Ishida met you privately.”
Shen You glanced at her and admitted generously: “Oh, he promised me a rebate, it sounds really tempting.”
“Mr. Ishida is so generous.”
Ruan Zhiyin praised, but said nothing else.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Shen You smiled: “I thought you would give me higher rewards.”
“Unfortunately, I can’t do it.”
Nakamura Bio’s integrated production line is more mature than Nanyin, and the cost is also lower. Ruan Zhiyin didn’t want to do a price war or make a profit.
What’s more, Shen You is afraid that he does not need it.
“You are really interesting.” Shen You pursed his lower lip, and finally became more serious. “Don’t worry, although Nakamura Bio has more advantages in general, CF will still fairly consider the partner in the next year.”
Ruan Zhiyin was able to speak accurately, nodded, and smiled back: “That’s enough.”
After all, Nan Yin is a new company. As long as it can compete fairly, even if she can’t get the order from CF in the end, she can’t say that she is particularly regretful.
——
Coming out of the restaurant, Ruan Zhiyin declined Shen You’s request to send her back, and drove back to the hotel alone.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Kang Yu standing in front of her door in the corridor, her expression a little anxious.
“Mr. Ruan, Tian Jinggang called me.”
It is early morning in China, if it is not a particularly important matter, Tian Jing will not contact her and Kang Yu at this time.
Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly, led Kang Yu into the room, and then asked, “What happened to the company?”
Kang Yu hesitated, did not speak, but handed her the phone.
Ten minutes ago, Tian Jing sent her a long screenshot. As for the content of the screenshot, it is a post of a certain group.
It seems that LZ who posted posts often broke the news on the forum. Judging from the screenshots, the posts are very popular.
Nan Yin has been very windy recently. Some time ago, he did a lot of marketing and invited Shen Yinghou to endorse him. However, Starling has learned a little inside story these days and found that the female boss behind Nan Yin is not simple.
The female boss surnamed R was unfortunately’lost’ when she was a child, and she was taken back to a wealthy family when she was almost an adult. Unfortunately, her parents passed away and could not do a paternity test.
Although this type of identification is not accurate, the rich man’s obsession with finding his granddaughter is too deep, not to say that this is his granddaughter. The son-in-law who has taken care of the elderly for half his life had the idea to make the elderly happy, so he had to accept this niece.
Unfortunately, the kindness of the son-in-law dug a big hole for himself. Not long ago, when the old man passed away, R received most of his inheritance, and his son-in-law, who had taken care of his father for half his life, didn’t get a penny. R was designed to be sent to prison, and his granddaughter L also received only a small amount of inheritance.
If R is the granddaughter of the old man, forget it, but mynah heard that R recently came up with a family member who came to recognize her, saying that she is not the granddaughter of the old man at all.
But it’s not so. After the inheritance is divided, R can’t spit it out again. Poor L had previously ruined R’s reputation and was forced to retreat from the circle and seized the family property. His father also went to jail because of R’s design. I have to say that what R does is really amazing.
[Gosh, what contemporary femme girl is this? 】
[Uh, no, I just ordered for my goddess Nan Yin’s new face cream foundation liquid, and now I am afraid of being cursed. 】
[L was in the entertainment industry before? Has anyone cracked the skin and decoded it? 】
[Speaking of the lid, I seem to have decoded it, but I feel that the other one cannot speak. 】
“This post was deleted by the public relations department in the first time, but it was moved by some marketing accounts. Tian Jing tried to suppress the heat, but now all the company’s e-commerce platforms are still showing malicious chargebacks, and there are media from the partners. Ask.”
In addition to cooperation orders, Nanyin also recently launched a C-end liquid product line, and Shen Rong also helped to promote it. The previous sales have been good.
Ruan Zhiyin returned the phone to Kang Yu, his expression still calm: “You go to book the earliest air ticket now, and leave the rest to Zhang Chun. Let’s go home first.”
“Okay.” Kang Yu nodded, paused for a while, and asked again: “Mr. Ruan, are you okay.”
Ruan Zhiyin smiled at her: “It’s okay, you have been busy for a day, go back first.”
Hearing this, Kang Yu nodded, turned and left the room.
The room fell silent.
The smile at the corner of Ruan Zhiyin’s mouth also faded.
Not many people know what she lost when she was young. Even if there is some gossip in the circle, because of Cheng Yuelin’s face, he should not dare to trouble her like this.
Qin Xiang said before that Lin Jingfei and Lin Wei had met, and he was thinking about it.
Suddenly, the bell rang, and she took out the phone from her bag. It was Ji Yijun.
“Yinyin, when will you return to China?”
It seemed to be just an ordinary greeting.
“If there is no accident, I will go back tomorrow.” Ruan Zhiyin finished speaking, as if he had understood something, he narrowed his eyes and relaxed, “Uncle, what’s the matter?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for five seconds, and then she heard a soft sigh.
“Lin Wei brought someone to see me.” Ji Yijun paused. “The other party said that he is your uncle.”
