The next morning, all the newspapers on the streets and alleys, all the TV channels' morning news, and the radio in the car were all reporting about Yu Lei International's turnaround battle in the US last night.
After this financial war, Yu Lei International's miraculous comeback shocked the world's peers. They realized that they couldn't see through the true situation of this company at all, and all their previous estimates had to be disrupted.
As the CEO, Lin Ruoxi's image was constantly pursued and hyped up. In a short period of time, her hits on search engines directly surpassed the hottest all-around diva Christen and the American singer "God of Thunder" Kaka.
The youngest beautiful CEO, the ice goddess, the symbol of wealth, the number one dream lover of gold collars and diamond bachelors … all kinds of fancy titles made people laugh and sigh at the speed of information flow in this world.
Because Lin Ruoxi rarely appeared in public, there weren't many photos and videos. Even so, the number of people who followed and admired her increased exponentially.
The most exaggerated thing was that Lin Ruoxi's fan club was formed among the people, but the name of the fan club wasn't very nice, even a little funny — "Washing Powder", because if the word "Xi" was pronounced slowly, it would become "Wash". The biggest advantage of "Washing Powder" was that you couldn't count how many "particles" there were.
Of course, as the person in question, Lin Ruoxi never cared about these miscellaneous things, so it didn't affect her too much.
The one who suffered was Yang Cheng. Because of Christen's gossip, he became the "sex fiend" in the eyes of the women in the family. Even Guo Xuehua, as his mother, couldn't stand a young man living such a debauched life, even though she always felt that she owed Yang Cheng.
When the news came out, the family blamed Yang Cheng for hiding the huge crisis that Yu Lei was facing, and blamed Yang Cheng for not caring enough for Lin Ruoxi.
Yang Cheng couldn't say that he had given 50 billion yuan to his wife to spend. Even if he was so generous that he was qualified to be called "the most extravagant husband of the century", it wasn't a reason. He had indeed left Lin Ruoxi to deal with everything alone while he flirted with his lovers.
Feeling sorry for Lin Ruoxi, who was like her own daughter, Mother Wang made a box of exquisite snacks early in the morning. She also got up early to make ginseng black chicken soup and asked Yang Cheng to send it to the company.
Because she was busy with the follow-up work, Lin Ruoxi didn't go home to rest that night.
Of course, Yang Cheng would not refuse, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Why was this woman always so desperate? Could it be that she could not continue to deal with the later matters after taking a break? It wasn't that he didn't have anyone he could use. It was rare for him to be so ambitious.
Just as Yang Cheng was driving to the company with a pained heart, the CEO's office on the top floor of the Yu Lei International Headquarters building welcomed an unexpected guest early in the morning …
"General Lin, Director Ning Guodong would like to see you." Wu Yue, who had been working overtime, called Lin Ruoxi from the secretary office outside.
Lin Ruoxi, who was sorting out the last of the factory's rectification documents, frowned. On her delicate and cold face, other than fatigue and solemnity, there was a little more helplessness and annoyance. At the same time, there was a little more confusion …
Ning Guodong? When she thought of the man who was always pestering her, she would think of the photo she saw a few days ago, the man with her mother …
Lin Ruoxi shook her head and tried her best not to think about it. She took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality before saying, "Invite him in."
After half a minute, Ning Guodong pushed open the office door. As usual, he was wearing a well-ironed suit, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face.
However, this kind of smile made Lin Ruoxi feel disgusted. She didn't know why, even if her man smiled shamelessly, it was more pleasing to the eye than the handsome smile in front of her.
Was it because of the person, or because of the heart?
"Ruoxi, you're really not simple. I've been worried about you, but now it seems that my worry was unnecessary." Ning Guodong sat on the sofa opposite Lin Ruoxi and said to himself.
Lin Ruoxi stood up and walked to the desk. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Ning Guodong coldly for a while. She said, "Director Ning, give up. You know I won't agree to it, right?"
Ning Guodong wasn't angry at all. He still smiled elegantly, "Let's talk about this later. Don't you think that as the host, you should give me a cup of coffee or a cup of tea?"
If the guy in front of her wasn't the son of the premier and a government official, Lin Ruoxi felt that she would get security to drag him away. No, she wouldn't even let him enter the door of Yu Lei.
"Wu Yue, make a cup of coffee and come in." Lin Ruoxi pressed the button on the phone on the desk and said.
Wu Yue was very efficient. In less than three minutes, she made a cup of coffee and walked into the office. She then put it in front of Ning Guodong with understanding.
When she noticed the stiff atmosphere between Lin Ruoxi and Ning Guodong, Wu Yue frowned and immediately left.
Obviously, Wu Yue couldn't understand why the CEO and Director Ning were like enemies. Wasn't this how they should be?
"If there's nothing important, I think Director Ning can leave after finishing this cup of coffee!" Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
Ning Guodong took a sip of coffee. He seemed to find it too hot, so he put it down and said with a smile, "Ruoxi, am I that unattractive to you?"
"Director Ning," Lin Ruoxi bit her lips and said, "I'm very busy now. There are many things that I need to do. I don't even have time to go home. I don't want to waste my energy on unnecessary things between us.
You should have heard what Yang Cheng called me in the parking lot. That's right, we're legally married. In other words, I won't be in a relationship with you. I'm already married. Please don't harass me.
Actually, I think with the power of the Ning family, it's very easy for you to find out whether I'm really married or not. You should have known about it long ago. Your way of doing things is putting me in a difficult position. "
The smile on Ning Guodong's face finally faded, and a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "You're really cruel, woman."
As he said that, Ning Guodong picked up the file he brought with him and played with it in his hand. He continued, "You're right. I did check if you're really married to that guy named Yang Cheng. In the end, I was very disappointed. I really couldn't believe that you would actually marry such a vulgar and low-class man, and not even consider me.
Of course, we've known each other for a long time. It's only been three or four months since I first saw you. But that guy named Yang Cheng, you haven't known him for that long, have you?
I don't believe that you're a woman who would impulsively get married. There must be some other reason for you to marry him … "
Lin Ruoxi's expression didn't change, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. The feeling of being poked at the soft part of her heart wasn't very good.
Ning Guodong's eyes showed a bit of sharpness. He said, "I don't care if you're married, and I don't care if you can like me immediately. I don't even care if you hate me now.
Do you know, as the first heir of the Ning family, if I want a woman, there's a seventy or eighty percent chance that no one will refuse me. But I've never really liked any woman.
You're the first woman who's ever made me want to possess … I won't allow myself to fail. "
Such straightforward words made Lin Ruoxi feel a little flustered, but she knew that she couldn't escape. She could only say with a cold face, "Director Ning, feelings can't be forced. Do you want a woman who hates you by your side?"
"I don't care!" Ning Guodong stood up, and there was a burning flame in his eyes. "I don't care if you like me or not. I don't care if you hate me or even hate me. How many couples do you think are truly devoted to each other in a truly prestigious family? It's not rare for men to find lovers outside, and women to have secret lovers outside.
But don't worry, I'm not such a boring person. I only need you. I don't need many women, I just want a woman who can move my heart … "
Looking at Ning Guodong's somewhat crazy eyes, Lin Ruoxi finally retreated a little. After all, she was just a young woman. In terms of feelings and getting along with men, she had even less experience.
"Director Ning … You … How can you do this? Even if you're a member of the Ning family and the Premier's son, can you force someone to remarry you!?" Lin Ruoxi's heart was filled with anger. She was already mentally exhausted, and at this moment, her face had traces of a sickly captivating red.
"You're right. Even if I'm a member of the Ning family and my father is the Premier, I can't touch you as I please." Ning Guodong sneered, "You're the CEO of a multinational company, and the people outside are treating you like a goddess of wealth, like a fairy. "How can a woman like you, who's so high and mighty, be kidnapped by me and locked up like a canary for me …"
Ning Guodong's words made Lin Ruoxi's body feel a little cold. This man was like a ferocious beast looking down at her. His somewhat frenzied and aggressive eyes gave Lin Ruoxi a bad premonition.
"But …" Ning Guodong laughed until his shoulders shook, "But … If the high and mighty fairy was beaten down to the mortal world … Even if she couldn't even be considered a commoner girl, just a dirty life that everyone looked down on … Tell me, who would care about her fate? At that time, the only one who could take you in would probably be a tolerant man like me, and a man who truly likes you … "
Lin Ruoxi's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of confusion and uneasiness. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, I think all of this is a waste of effort."
"Really?" Ning Guodong coldly snorted and threw the document bag onto Lin Ruoxi's desk, "Maybe after you finish reading this, you won't think so."
Lin Ruoxi turned around and looked at the opened document bag on the desk. She hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out to pick it up. Then, she took out a few photocopied documents from inside.
When she saw the documents inside, Lin Ruoxi suddenly froze for a moment. Then, her hands unconsciously trembled a little. Her usual calmness seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
In her mind, those painful photos once again appeared for no reason. At the same time, Lin Ruoxi opened the cover of the document and read the contents inside …
In just ten seconds, Lin Ruoxi's pair of moist eyes fixed on a certain section of the document. At the same time, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and the fingers of both her hands stiffened. The documents in her hands fell to the ground with a crashing sound …
