Chapter 97
Nesa Gu drove into Ruona, completely pissing off Ethan Lu.
The company’s top executives have been busy for a whole year, betting on the amount of effort and financial resources, and only recently finalized the partnership with the cross-group, which is now just one last step away.
As long as the contract is signed, then the Jiji Group will attract many peer injections, and if successful, the Jiji Group will move to another pinnacle, and will bring billions of dollars in profits.
However, just as the entire Ji Group was immersed in joy, that large group suddenly informed that it did not intend to cooperate with Ji.
This sudden change on the other side caught both Groven Ji and his father, Yunze Ji, off guard.
The Ji Group had previously made many loans with banks for this project, and now that the cooperation had been rejected, this could seriously cause a shortage of funds or even a liquidity problem for the Ji Group.
For a while, Yunze Ji and Groven, both father and son, were anxious and could not sit still.
“Groven, you were the one who was making all the contacts for the Wells Group before, what is the reason for not even signing this contract? When our company talked to their Asian head before, weren’t they very satisfied?”
Yunze Ji was also considered a big man who had seen a big storm, but now it was difficult to remain calm over this matter.
“I’m trying to figure out the specifics, except that the head of the Wells Group seems to be intentionally avoiding it, and I still haven’t been able to contact him.”
These past few days, Groven Ji had also been so busy that he hadn’t even slept properly, and his entire body seemed extremely anxious.
“What’s going on here? The Wells Group has risen very fast in Europe in the past few years, and they have close cooperation with many large foreign consortiums, and a large company with such a strong financial power and a strong background, even if they really don’t want to cooperate with us, it’s impossible to shy away from them. Think about it yourself, did you accidentally make a mistake during the final part of the contract negotiation and offend the people over at Wells?”
After all, Yunze Ji was not a rookie in the business world, and he quickly noticed something was wrong.
Groven Ji frowned tightly, thought for a moment, and firmly shook his head, “No, Dad you don’t know how much I value this project, when I talked to the head of Wells about the details of cooperation, I acted appropriately and didn’t offend the other party at all.”
“No matter what, it’s best to find a solution to this matter as soon as possible, if those old guys in the company find out, they might make a scene again.”
Yunze Ji pondered for a moment and still didn’t feel right, hastily instructing Groven Ji again, “Just in case, before Wells responds, we have to find another investor. This project is too important to the company, if we hold on to it for one more day, we will lose a fortune. If it’s fine for a short period of time, if it doesn’t come off within a month, then Ji’s group will not only lose a lot of money, but may even fall into a serious crisis.”
Things had come to this point, Yunze Ji no longer dared to put all his extravagant hopes on the Wells Group.
He was also clear that even if he did find another investment, he was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to ruthlessly suppress the price, after all, not every company could be as capable as the Wells Group.
And this was another big loss for the Ji Group.
However, now that they were already riding a tiger, there was simply no other choice but to do so.
Groven Ji knew the seriousness of the matter, and his face was also somewhat heavy, but he didn’t know that Ji’s would have such a crisis, and it was entirely because of Nesa Gu’s viciousness.
And Nesa Gu, who was the culprit, was busy trying to salvage her image in the past two days, treating herself to dinner everywhere.
Qin Silian saw her husband and son busy for the company, can’t help but be a little annoyed, staring at Nesa Gu who completely does not know how to take care of the overall situation: “Groven these days for the sake of the company’s affairs, so busy that he can’t even care to eat, you are his wife, do not know how to sympathize even if, but also every day to run outside. Look at what you’ve done all this while, what else have you done when you go out, besides embarrassing the Ji family and looking for trouble?”
“No matter what, the Ji family is still a respectable and famous family, and you still go out every day to show your face, since you have a child, then be good and raise the baby at home, don’t always discredit the Ji family, if you don’t mind losing face, I still mind losing face.”
Qin Silian’s dissatisfaction with Nesa Gu was apparently suppressed to a certain extent, and finally exploded out when he couldn’t stand it any longer.
Nesa Gu was annoyed by what was said, but in front of the strong Qin Silian, she didn’t dare to talk back, so she could only beg, “Mom, it’s my fault for not caring about Groven, I’ll change, don’t be angry.”
Qin Silian snorted, “Hmph, it’s better so, now that the company is in crisis, I don’t expect you to help in any way. But I won’t allow you to let Groven go around sticking up for you again, just that little thing of yours, it’s nothing compared to the company.”
“Yes, I know.”
Nesa Gu bit her lower lip and nodded her head very nicely, but her heart hated it.
Although she was nominally hanging on to the name of Miss Tang’s Thousand Golden Girls, Nesa Gu was very clear that Qin Silian had always looked down on her.
Qin Silian’s bones were a noblewoman who was very particular about her family, and would have accepted her in the first place because Nesa Gu was pregnant, secondly because Groven Ji insisted, and thirdly because she knew that Roden Tang might share twenty percent of the shares to Nesa Gu.
It’s just that now more than a month has passed, not to mention twenty percent of the shares, they haven’t even seen a shadow of it.
The more Qin Silian thought about it, the angrier she became, and thus the more she looked at Nesa Gu as well.
She suddenly made up her mind, if Nesa Gu could have a boy, then it might not be impossible for the young lady of the Gu family to let her be a pawn, but if she had a girl, then there was no guarantee that she would have to reconsider this marriage contract and find a new door-to-door match for Groven Ji!
Nesa Gu didn’t seem to know what Qin Silian was thinking, but she knew that if she didn’t get that twenty percent of the shares, there would be a big change in the future as the young grandmother of this luxurious family.
If she wanted to keep what she had now, she would have to find a breakthrough.
After driving into Ruona a few days ago, Nesa Gu had been very worried that she would come looking for trouble, so she was on edge for a few days.
The solitary thing was that Ruona never showed up.
However, the last time she lost her hand, Ruona will definitely find a chance to defend her, and it is categorically impossible to start from her, and the only breakthrough is Roden Tang.
Thinking of this, Nesa Gu couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, and a touch of ruthlessness suddenly crossed her eyes.
That damned old man, since he was so inconsiderate, then don’t blame her for being ruthless!
Chapter 98
The Ji family was made restless by Ethan Lu’s revenge, but Ruona was living a particularly peaceful life, and every day, she was clothed and fed, fully over the rice worm addiction.
After about a week, the wounds on her body gradually scabbed off, but because there were quite a few wounds, there were still some shallow scar marks on her legs and hands.
When she returned to work, Anya Song saw this scene and cursed angrily: “Nesa Gu that beast is really not a human being, such beautiful hands and legs left scars, can still look? If this were placed in ancient times, it would be a broken face and you wouldn’t be able to get married.”
Ruona even smiled and reassured, “Don’t worry, the doctor said that these scars will be invisible after a while.”
“That doesn’t cancel out her evil act of trying to run you over! Damn it, the next time I see her, I’ll definitely take a razor blade and slash her face a few times.”
Anya Song was still furious, and she still clearly remembered how she felt when she heard that Ruona had been in a car accident a few days ago and was terrified.
She had obviously never thought that Nesa Gu had actually become vicious to that degree of human and divine anger.
“Alright, don’t be angry, I’m fine now. And don’t think that she’ll be fine, I can’t let this matter go like this.”
This time, what Nesa Gu had annoyed was not only Ethan Lu, but also her. She would definitely settle this score with Nesa Gu, and if she let it go, she would not be Tang.
“Of course it can’t be let go like this! I’ll tell you Ruona, Fabia will return to China in a short while, just wait until she comes back, Nesa Gu’s good days will almost be over.”
“Huh?”
Ruona’s eyes brightened up, “Fabia is coming back?”
“Yeah, the foreign affairs are almost done, and she also knows about what happened between you and Nesa Gu, so she decided to come back.”
At this, a look of reminiscence appeared on Anya Song’s face, “It’s been three years since Fabia left, right? It’s great, our three sisters can get together again.”
Ruona couldn’t help but raise a smile along with it, “Yeah, I missed her quite a bit. This is good, I’m afraid the days will become more lively with the return of Fabia.”
“Haha, that’s right, with the return of Fabia, this Belfrek probably won’t have Nesa Gu’s arrogance anymore.”
After chatting for a while in a cheerful mood, they returned to their seats to work, Ruona’s smile remained on her face, apparently, the news of her best friend’s return to China made her in a rare good mood.
In the afternoon, Lina called Ruona to the office with a concerned face and asked, “Is your body okay?”
“Thank you for the manager’s concern, it’s no big deal anymore.”
Ruona smiled at her, his eyes somewhat touched.
Li Na was relieved at the news, “It’s good that it’s fine, you’re one of my generals under me, if an accident happens, it can be my loss. That Nesa Gu is also really, from the time she came to the company until now, she hasn’t rested on her laurels, but I never thought she would be so vicious this time.”
“How does the manager know about this?”
Ruona was surprised that not many people knew about Nesa Gu’s driving into her.
“I asked Anya Song’s.”
Lina pursed her l!ps, as if somewhat puzzled Ruona: “Why don’t you call the police, Nesa Gu this is already an attempted murder, is illegal, this if you find evidence, at least a life sentence.”
“I also want to. It’s just that I have another strategy for this matter, and the manager can rest assured that I’ll handle it.”
Ruona reassured with a smile, and didn’t say specifically how she planned to handle it.
Lina, being a smart person, saw that she didn’t go into detail and just sighed, “Well, since you won’t pursue it, I can’t say anything.”
Saying that, she paused, as if remembering something, and suddenly said, “By the way, something seems to have happened over at Ji’s group in the past two days.”
“What kind of matter?” Ruona blinked in confusion.
“The details are not too clear, but I heard from friends I know that Ji’s group seems to be pulling investments from everywhere, and it’s rumored that a project in hand, for some unknown reason, was put on hold, and the original partner that was negotiated suddenly backfired. The current Ji’s situation is very tense, so I don’t think Nesa Gu will be able to trouble you again in a short time.”
Although Li Na seemed to have no intention of mentioning it, there was a hint of probing in her words.
Obviously, Lina had also guessed that this would happen to the Ji Clan, and it was most likely that she was being targeted.
And now that she could have the great ability to target Ji’s, the other party’s background must be even more frightening than Ji’s.
Lina did have some doubts that this would be related to Ruona.
However, Ruona was clearly unaware of this matter, as she looked surprised and puzzled.
“It’s best if she doesn’t come to trouble me, and I can have some peace and quiet.”
After a moment’s contemplation, Ruona didn’t delve into the matter of the Ji Clan, but her mind loomed over Ethan Lu’s figure.
Lina nodded, probably thinking that she was overthinking, although Ruona came from a remarkable background, Tang’s group had always been good friends with Ji’s group, so it must not be possible to specifically target Ji’s, not to mention, Tang’s couldn’t take any advantage of this.
Thinking of this, Li Na threw her head back and hurriedly left the subject aside, saying, “Then let’s put this matter aside for now, in fact, this time I called you here because I have a mission I want to give you.”
“What kind of mission?”
“The annual company meeting is in half a month, remember?”
“Well, remember.” Ruona nodded, not reacting much.
Li Na crossed her ten fingers and braced herself on the table, her voice soft, “You also know that Golden Frame’s recent bad reputation outside, in order to salvage a little image, the company intends to take advantage of this annual meeting to do something about it, the night of the annual meeting should invite some stars in the industry, as well as entertainment bigwigs to help. This time, the order given to our media department from above is to be responsible for the entire shooting on the night of the annual meeting.”
“The manager is not planning to give me full responsibility at this time, right?”
Ruona wasn’t stupid and immediately heard the strings in Li Na’s words and couldn’t help but scalp her.
“Exactly, you are now the Deputy Manager of the Media Department, the same position as Henry, but more than her, I believe in your ability to get this done.”
A teasing smile appeared on Li Na’s face, as if it was quite funny to see the bitter smile on Ruona’s face.
Ruona sighed helplessly, “I suddenly feel that a promotion isn’t a good thing anymore.”
“It’s late, it’s no longer up to you now.”
Lina’s smile widened even more by a few points, “How’s that? Do you have the confidence to do it right?”
“I’ll do my best.”
Ruona sweated a bit, and in the end, she could only helplessly promise.
Because of the need to be busy with the annual meeting, in the next half a month or so, Ruona once again turned into the appearance of a desperate man.
For this reason, Anya Song is screaming: “Ruona, honestly, I really don’t want you to be promoted, you make this promotion, and then destroy my labor force, do you have a good conscience?”
“My promotion can cover you, such a good opportunity to stammer, others can’t even beg for it, just you dislike it.”
Ruona smiled and ridiculed, that look is really not polite at all.
Chapter 99
“You just pretend.”
Ruona sneered at her and glanced at her, “I’m not doing this for you. This annual meeting is very important, and if you perform well, you’ll have a chance to get promoted and get rich. Think about it, last month I still say that I want to pull Henry Lu from the position of deputy manager, I am now, already deputy manager, the position is equal to her, but obviously, Li Na pays more attention to me some. You haven’t seen Henry Lu’s face hasn’t been too good these past few days, have you?”
“That’s true, but what does that have to do with you fu*king me over?” Anya Song looked bewildered.
Ruona couldn’t help but roll her eyes and glare at her, “Stupid! She’s still the assistant manager after all, even though she’s under my thumb. So, are you interested in this position? How about taking her off the stage? Won’t it be more fun when Henry Lu loses and Nesa Gu has no gun to use?”
Ruona’s words were quite a bit of coaxing and a sign of a trap.
However, although Anya Song was aware of it, she didn’t resent it in the slightest, instead her eyes shone brightly, “It seems like it’s quite fun.”
“Right? So, you do your best, this annual meeting, your performance is crucial, don’t let me down.”
Patting Anya Song’s shoulder, Ruona’s expression appeared somewhat solemn.
Anya Song’s head was like a little chicken pecking at rice, smiling, “Don’t worry, there’s no escaping the position of assistant manager!”
As the day of the annual meeting drew nearer and nearer, the atmosphere within the company also became more and more heated, and many employees were secretly discussing the list of supporters invited to the annual meeting.
From their conversations, from time to time we can hear some of the influential divas and kings in the entertainment industry, including the CEOs and directors of other entertainment companies.
It had to be said that Golden Frame had made a great effort to salvage his previously damaged image.
However, shortly after this heated discussion, people actually started discussing whether or not Universal would also send someone over.
Speaking of Universal, a touch of longing sprang up on many people’s faces; as an entertainment company that held a leading position in the entertainment industry, it was a place that many people dreamed of.
Of course, the crowd also knew that this kind of company was not something that ordinary people could just enter.
Because the person who led Universal to his current position is not only a very discerning, strict and unpredictable person, he is also known to be very picky and difficult to deal with, and almost everyone he sees has to be the most elite in the industry.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at his face, and you’ll see how many people are over-ambitious about him.
For women, he’s everything to them.
For men, if they can make friends with him, their future is naturally boundless.
Anya Song also seemed very interested in this question, and directly grabbed Ruona and asked, “Honestly, this annual meeting, will our Lu Man God come?”
After thinking about it, Ruona shook her head, “Not sure, he did receive an invitation, but it’s unlikely he’ll come to attend! Although Golden Frame worked with Universal on a movie, but I guess it’s hard to love that big man of his with that alone.”
“That’s not necessarily the case, isn’t it you at this annual meeting, the Lu man-god might actually come in his own right.”
Anya Song was well aware of Ethan Lu’s doting wife’s appearance, and instead spoke with more certainty than Ruona.
Ruona blinked and smiled, “What you say makes sense, how about I go home and ask about it at night?”
Anya Song nodded her head in high spirits, “Ask ask ask, definitely ask!”
In the evening, Ruona took a good bath, sat beside Ethan Lu, habitually half lying down, resting her head on his lap.
Ethan Lu was reading the document, seeing her like this, not lightly move her hands, move the document, and cast his gaze on her face, his expression with a hint of softness: “Tired?”
“Fine, I’m busy for the annual meeting, but it’s fulfilling.”
Ruona dropped one of his arms to her face and gently rubbed against it.
Ethan Lu allowed her to get tired of her like a kitten, and couldn’t help but touch her cheeks, “First the injury, and then such a heavy workload, you seem to be thin.”
“It’s good to be thin, no need to lose weight, as long as the wounds don’t leave scars.”
Ruona smiled extremely happily, after all, she was also a girl and had a heart for beauty as well.
“Your weight, it’s just right the way it was before, if it’s too thin, I don’t like it, it’ll affect the feel of the hand.”
Ethan Lu glanced at her with a faint glance, his deep eyes were shifting a bit.
Ruona’s cheeks blushed, and was made to look shy by his ambiguous and unknown tone.
“What are you talking about.” She couldn’t help but glare at him, even hastily changing the topic: “Back to the topic, this time our company’s annual meeting, will you go?”
“No.”
Ethan Lu replied coldly, his dark eyes staring at her, “Madame wishes me to go?”
“Hopefully, but not really.”
Ruona groaned for a long while and gave an ambiguous answer.
Ethan Lu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise, “Why?”
“Because you’re so good, there will be a lot of people staring at you that night, and I’m afraid I’ll want to hide you then. But then again, I’d like to stand in the same place as you one day and attend the same party.”
Zhou in the eyebrows, Ruona’s small face filled with a contradiction.
Ethan Lu couldn’t help but patted her cheek, “Don’t worry, there will be an opportunity.”
On the afternoon of the annual meeting, Ruona went to the site early to direct the work.
“Have all the machine positions been fixed yet? The entrances and exits, the signature wall over there is very important, and over there, those positions over there, they’re all key machine positions, you can’t afford to make a mistake!”
“Yes, Assistant Manager!”
The staff who were busy to and fro replied in unison.
After inspecting the circle, Ruona saw that there was no problem, so he walked towards Anya Song who was not far away, “There’s no problem on your side either, right?”
Anya Song compared an OK gesture: “Fixed slots, mobile slots are all confirmed, if there are no surprises, there won’t be too many problems.”
Ruona was not greatly relieved, “That’s good, after being busy for more than half a month, it’s finally about to finish the work.”
“Why is it about to be? Isn’t it done already, with just a little attention at the annual meeting tonight?”
“That’s not necessarily so.”
Ruona shook her head, obviously not as relieved as Anya Song, “I’m not too sure about Henry Lu, although Lina gave me all the ownership, that woman has been disgruntled in her heart, she and Nesa Gu are in the same faction, I’m sure it’s impossible for her to let me get what I want, so I’m not sure if she’ll come to the dark side.”
Most importantly, there were quite a few people in the media department who were also on Henry Lu’s side, so if they secretly wanted to do something manipulative, it was really a bit of a precaution.
“Then what do we do now?”
Anya Song also became worried, and her eyes couldn’t help but glance towards Henry who was not far away.
Ruona also followed suit, and as a result, that Henry Lu seemed to be able to sense her line of sight and also moved her gaze.
From the woman’s face, Ruona clearly saw a wisp of an unkind smile.
Ruona’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but narrow dangerously, and only after a long time did she slowly reply, “No matter what, just be careful, if there is any unexpected situation, I will solve it.”
Helplessly, Anya Song could only nod her head: “I will pay more attention.”
