Lin Ruoxi had already finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and elegantly wiped her mouth with a wet napkin. She meticulously folded the napkin and put it away. She didn't bother to look at the smiling Yang Cheng. She moved from the dining table to the sofa and sat down. She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
Yang Cheng was thinking about what to say, but just as he was about to say a few words, the news on the TV made Yang Cheng shut his mouth.
The headline of the morning news in Zhonghai was prominently labeled "Terrorist Bank Robbery Reappears!"
On the screen was a bank in Zhonghai that had its facade and many walls blown up. The inside of the bank was surrounded by a yellow police cordon. Many medical personnel were transporting and rescuing bank staff and customers who had been carried out. Many people on the side of the road were pointing and gossiping, and many relatives were crying and scolding the police.
According to the reporters at the scene, at noon yesterday, at the bank that was blown up, seven or eight robbers drove into the bank in a modified Ford with a medium-sized submachine gun. Not only did they make off with nearly ten million yuan, but they also killed a large number of staff and customers. In the end, using the modified car's speed and driving skills, they escaped with the hostages to the outskirts of Zhonghai, deceiving the police and evading their pursuit.
"There are such brazen bank robberies in our country?" Yang Cheng frowned and asked Lin Ruoxi, who was watching the TV intently.
Lin Ruoxi glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything. She continued to watch the TV.
Yang Cheng didn't ask for a rebuff. He smacked his lips and continued to watch the news.
After a while, the scene shifted to the interview area for the police. The interviewee who appeared on the TV was someone that Yang Cheng knew!
She had a head of short hair, a delicate oval face, and charming facial features. Although she was wearing a loose police uniform, one could still see the curves of her body. It was Yang Cheng's old rival, one of Lin Ruoxi's few good friends, Choi Yeon.
But then again, it made sense. Choi Yeon was a superintendent and the chief of the Westside Police Department, so it was normal for her to be on TV.
However, Choi Yeon was clearly in a terrible mood at the moment. Her brows were furrowed and her expression was ice-cold, giving off the feeling that she was about to fly into a rage at any moment.
A lot of reporters saw Choi Yeon's expression and didn't dare to ask any questions. An old reporter from Zhonghai Radio Station was pushed forward to ask, "Chief Cai, this is the second bank robbery in two months. According to the witnesses, the criminals are also from the same group. In the past ten years, there has never been a bank robbery in Zhonghai City, but in the past two months, there have been two robberies. The relevant leaders of the municipal government are very angry. May I ask, as the new chief of the western district, what do you think?"
Choi Yeon was silent for a moment before she said, "This criminal has enough firearms, complete equipment, meticulous planning, and professional robbery methods. He should be an organized criminal gang. Their sudden appearance in Zhonghai was most likely due to smuggling into the country. Traces of their crimes had been found in other coastal provinces before, but they had never been arrested. It's a dereliction of duty on our part. On behalf of the Westside Police Department, I apologize to the victims. "
"What's the use of apologizing!? Our money!! Where are the lives of the dead!!! "
"What are the police doing! Get out of here and find someone else!! "
The scene was a bit chaotic. A victim's family member yelled crazily outside the reporters, followed by many people scolding the incompetence of the police.
Choi Yeon's face showed a bit of pain, but her expression was firm as she said, "I, Choi Yeon, promise everyone here that I will definitely bring all the criminals to justice. If there is a next time, I will voluntarily resign and will no longer be involved in the police force!"
This piece of news was released yesterday afternoon, but it was only released this morning. It was obvious that the municipal government had carefully considered it. After all, this kind of thing would cause panic among the public. However, the paper could not cover the fire, and there were too many onlookers. At this time, they could only release it to let everyone know.
After watching the news, Lin Ruoxi suddenly turned off the TV, then picked up the cordless phone beside her and dialed a number.
"Hello, Yeonyeon, it's Ruoxi."
"Um … Are you okay?"
"That's good. Take care. Say hello to Uncle Cai for me. Bye."
In less than 15 seconds, Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone again and stood up, intending to go upstairs.
Yang Cheng was quite emotional. This woman was even so cold to her good sister. She was obviously worried, but she only said a few words. Could it be that she had a psychological problem like the language barrier?
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was about to go upstairs without saying a word, Yang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Baby Ruoxi, aren't you going to ask your husband where I went last night and why I didn't call home?"
For Yang Cheng's various intimate names, Lin Ruoxi was not as disgusted as she was at first. She was completely immune to it. At this moment, when she heard Yang Cheng's question, she stopped walking on the stairs, turned around, and asked expressionlessly, "I ask you, will you tell the truth?"
Tell the truth? Say that I accompanied Mo Qianni to eat at the food stall for the third time, say that I went home with her, say that Mo Qianni wanted to kiss me, and I pretended to be asleep to wait to be kissed by her? Or do I feel very guilty towards Mo Qianni now?
Yang Cheng finally understood why Lin Ruoxi could be the president and manage such a big company. She didn't need to ask to know that I wouldn't tell the truth at all!
"That … I can't tell the truth this time. I'll tell the truth next time. But in fact, I'm also very good at lying. It sounds like the truth. Do you want to hear it? "Yang Cheng suggested.
Lin Ruoxi slightly raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "You can keep it for other women to hear. I don't need it."
With that, Lin Ruoxi continued to go upstairs. But after a few steps, she naturally turned around and said, "Oh yeah, last night, after you left, I negotiated with my senior about a collaboration project. It will be the company's main task for the next year. Because of this, I'm going on a business trip to Hong Kong next week to meet another investor. I'm telling you now, lest you do something impolite like what you did last night. "
Impolite? Looks like Lin Ruoxi thought that I purposely pretended to anger Zeng Xinlin last night. But that's good too. I don't have to explain things that I don't want to explain.
Wait! Collaborate with Zeng Xinlin!? Lin Ruoxi is going on a business trip personally!?
Yang Cheng felt that something wasn't right and immediately asked, "Why are you going by yourself? Don't tell me you're going to contact Zeng Xinlin personally for this project? "
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "The investment is huge. I've always had a plan, but I haven't implemented it yet. I don't feel at ease handing it over to someone else, so I'm going by myself."
"Does that mean that you have to meet Zeng Xinlin often when you're working in the future?" Yang Cheng asked unhappily.
"Why, you don't agree?"
Yang Cheng nodded without hesitation. Isn't this like sending a fat piece of meat into the mouth of a fox? How can I let something like this happen?
"But this project is very important, and the other party is an Italian investor. I'm the only one in the company who is proficient in Italian."
"Isn't it just Italian? I know Italian too!"
With that said, Yang Cheng suddenly realized something. Something's wrong! This seems to be a trap for me!
As expected, a faint playful smile appeared on Lin Ruoxi's frosty face. Her smile was like a little white flower, extremely cute.
"Since you said so, it seems that I have to give you a chance. I'll let you volunteer to complete this difficult task on my behalf. After all, we are husband and wife. I still have this bit of trust in you," Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.
Yang Cheng's face turned bitter. "Ruoxi, my good wife, how can you hand such a difficult business job to someone like me who doesn't know anything? Why don't you send someone else? There are quite a lot of capable people in Yu Lei, I can just be their translator."
"No, this project isn't open to the public. I need someone who can implement the plan in secret. If you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself," Lin Ruoxi threatened.
Yang Cheng was speechless. She was forcing him to choose between "wife" and "slacking off"!
"Let me think." Yang Cheng took out a cigarette and lit it up. As he smoked, he walked in circles in the room.
Lin Ruoxi wasn't in a hurry. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked down at Yang Cheng. Her mouth was filled with a little smugness.
Yang Cheng thought for a while. Although he had to try his best to relax his mind, doing more work shouldn't be too much of a burden. As long as he didn't get too engrossed, there shouldn't be a problem. But if he didn't do it, and his wife ran to Zeng Xinlin's side, then he would be in big trouble! He couldn't really kill that Zeng Xinlin, right?
Pressing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Yang Cheng raised his head and said, "Alright, I'll go all out. As long as you don't blame me for ruining the deal!"
"No way!" Lin Ruoxi's face was full of seriousness. "This has to be done well. This will affect the company's development for the next five to six years. I won't allow you to fail!"
"It can't be … This is my first time going on a business trip." Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, this isn't hard to negotiate. It's basically a cooperation that's already set in stone. All you have to do is to check on the details according to my requirements, fight for the greatest benefits, invite the other party to Zhonghai, and finally make the final decision. As for signing the documents, I'll do it."
Yang Cheng hesitated and asked, "I can't be going alone, right? There has to be someone to help me as a reference or something. "
"I'll let Qianni accompany you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can discuss it with her. You're the leader in this project, so she won't give you too many opinions." Lin Ruoxi said.
Yang Cheng's legs went soft. Alright, I just had a bad argument with Mo Qianni last night, and now I've arranged for them to go on a business trip together. At that time, I might as well not see her.
"Why, is there a problem with letting Qianni go with you?" Lin Ruoxi asked, pretending not to know.
Yang Cheng hurriedly shook his hand. Shanshan smiled and said, "No problem, of course it's good to have a beauty accompanying me. Hehe … I'm just overwhelmed by the favor, overwhelmed by the favor …"
In fact, Lin Ruoxi had no choice. Although Mo Qianni had already expressed her unusual feelings for Yang Cheng, Lin Ruoxi believed that the rational Mo Qianni would not do anything that would let her down. And this cooperation was indeed very important. It needed people who could be trusted enough. Therefore, letting Yang Cheng, who was proficient in Italian, go with Mo Qianni was the best choice.
Lin Ruoxi's considerations were far greater than Yang Chen's imagination when it came to relationships and career.
"You think about those things yourself. Don't show off in front of me. Look at you, if Qianni really likes you, I have nothing to say."
Lin Ruoxi sighed helplessly in her heart. It was really tiring for her to think about some things with her emotional intelligence. Finally, she glanced at Yang Cheng, turned around, and walked back to the study.
