Chapter 91 Don’t Overestimate Power, and Don’t Underestimate People’s Hearts
Chapter 91 Don't overestimate power, and don't underestimate people's hearts.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Fu had just met with Miss Ruan before coming to Hanfei. They seemed to have discussed some things and the process was not smooth."
Qi Chong looked down at the latest content on his mobile phone, and reported diligently to Xie Qingcen in front of him.
Xie Qingcen's eyes paused slightly.
He raised his eyelids slightly, and his dark eyes glanced at Qi Chong lightly, and then opened his lips, "I know."
His eyebrows were indifferent, his expression was indifferent, and his emotions seemed to have no fluctuations.
Xie Qingcen's performance made Qi Chong feel a little surprised.
After a long time, he seemed to remember something, pursed his lips and said, "The scene of Mr. Fu and Miss Ruan leaving one after another was photographed, and now it has been posted on the Internet. And from the current point of view, the direction of public opinion seems to be somewhat unfavorable to Miss Ruan." After Qi
Chong finished speaking, he raised his eyes and carefully observed Xie Qingcen's expression, and his eyebrows gradually twisted into a ball.
Given how much President Xie cares for Miss Ruan, he'd surely be furious if he learned of the online comments about her.
Perhaps...
Qi Chong pursed his lips, suppressing his thoughts. He continued to look at Xie Qingcen, already mentally pondering his next PR plan and response.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qingcen remained impassive after the report, not even a quiver of eyebrows twitching. He
simply nodded gently, his clear, smooth voice so calm it barely registering a beat. "Okay, I see."
Seeing this, Qi Chong's frown deepened, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.
He took a deep breath and subconsciously repeated, "Miss Ruan may have received the news, but she hasn't taken any action yet. Perhaps Miss Ruan is facing some difficulties."
"President Xie, do you need me to inform the PR department?"
This time, Qi Chong didn't hesitate and directly told Xie Qingcen his hidden thoughts.
He stood still, quietly awaiting Xie Qingcen's response.
A flicker of certainty flashed in his eyes.
Xie Qingcen glanced at Qi Chong with a faint expression, then parted his lips, his tone cold, "In your eyes, is she so weak that she'd be controlled by a scumbag?"
Qi Chong was momentarily stunned.
His shock wasn't due to Xie Qingcen's trust in Ruan Liuzheng, but rather to the two abrupt words in Xie Qingcen's final sentence.
While Fu Yanci was certainly a bit foolish and arrogant, he was still a quarter of Xie's blood.
Was it really okay for Mr. Xie to describe him like that?
Qi Chong was so shocked that he forgot to conceal his feelings. His naked thoughts were almost exposed, a stark contrast to the usually calm and composed secretary.
It was hard for Xie Qingcen to ignore.
He suddenly chuckled, his dark eyes narrowing slightly, and he looked at Qi Chong with a dangerous look. "So you really doubt my judgment?"
His voice was clear and melodious as usual, but for some reason, it reached Qi Chong's ears and sent a chill through his bones.
He involuntarily straightened himself, a fierce desire to survive prompting him to hastily shake his head. "No, Mr. Xie, I absolutely believe in your vision, and I also believe in Miss Ruan's abilities."
"It's just that Miss Ruan is weak after all. Going against the Fu family alone, isn't it a bit..."
Xie Qingcen curled his lips, his delicate eyes flickering slightly. "Have you forgotten how she put Fu Yanci at a disadvantage last time? Qi Chong, don't overestimate power, and don't underestimate people's hearts."
"She's been with the Fu family for so many years. Do you think she doesn't know the company's inner workings? She never fights a battle unprepared."
Thinking of Ruan Liuzheng's character, a faint smile played in Xie Qingcen's dark eyes.
His voice was clear and firm, as if he and Ruan Liuzheng had known each other for years.
Qi Chong was stunned.
He stared at the pride and smile in Xie Qingcen's eyes, and unconsciously twitched the corners of his lips.
Mr. Xie truly had an unreasonable preference for Miss Ruan.
It was as if he had a natural filter for Miss Ruan. Honestly, it was a bit like a pervert.
Qi Chong shook his head helplessly, feeling that his thoughts were indeed unnecessary.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. Mr. Xie, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Xie Qingcen nodded gently, "Yes."
Then, as if remembering something, Xie Qingcen called Qi Chong again and instructed calmly, "Please clear your time tonight and go to the Central Building to reserve a table for me. I want a private room."
Qi Chong paused, looked at Xie Qingcen meaningfully, and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Xie."
...
Even elsewhere, at Suofan Company,
Ruan Liuzheng and Rossant finished discussing Mr. Wen's art exhibition and began discussing Suofan's future development plans.
In the middle of their conversation, Rossant's personal secretary, Lin Tingman, suddenly knocked on the office door, interrupting them.
After receiving permission, Lin Tingman politely pushed the door open and entered the office.
Looking at the two people sitting on the sofa, her dignified face wore a faint smile, but her brows were tightly furrowed.
She spoke first, greeting them with a smile, "Mr. Luo, Director Ruan."
Ruan Liuzheng nodded, then lowered her eyes to continue studying the documents in her hand. She
tactfully said nothing.
Rossent's secretary must have come here to see Rossent for something.
Ruan Liuzheng assumed so, and therefore didn't notice the unusual look in Lin Tingman's eyes.
Rossent thought so too. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his pale blue eyes looked at Lin Tingman quietly, with a hint of displeasure at being interrupted.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on?"
Lin Tingman nodded, "Mr. Luo, Director Ruan, you should check online quickly. The topic about Director Ruan has spread."
"And the trend of public opinion is very unfavorable to Director Ruan."
Lin Tingman finished speaking, and Ruan Liuzheng suddenly raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyebrows gradually twisted into a knot.
She pursed her lips, "What topic? Aren't the hot searches now all about Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing?"
Lin Tingman bit her lip, looking a little hesitant, "Yes, the number one hot search hasn't changed, but Director Ruan, did you go to Q University this morning?"
Ruan Liuzheng understood instantly, her eyes fixed, "Yes, so a paparazzi took a picture of Fu Yanci and me together, right?"
Lin Tingman didn't say anything, but her eyes said it all.
Although they didn't appear in the same frame, the two left one after another and stayed there for so long, plus their current relationship.
All of this is enough to arouse endless imagination among netizens, especially since Ruan Liuzheng expressed her attitude so resolutely yesterday.
If someone takes advantage of this to stir up trouble and points all the blame at Ruan Liuzheng, then the situation of Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing may change.
And Ruan Liuzheng will become their best scapegoat.
What a good trick to divert the blame!
In less than a moment, Ruan Liuzheng figured out the key point. She laughed out of anger, and a deep chill instantly condensed in her cold eyes.
Rosente also saw the hot searches on his phone. He pursed his lips and looked up at Ruan Liuzheng, "What are you going to do?"
Ruan Liuzheng pulled her lips. She put away her phone expressionlessly. Her cold eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
Fu Yanci did this because he didn't believe she would really hand over the evidence to the tax bureau.
In this case, she would first teach Fu Yanci a little lesson so that he would have to believe it.
Ruan Liuzheng curled her lips coldly as she looked at Rosent. "Don't worry, I've got this figured out."
Seeing Ruan Liuzheng's confident expression, the worry in Rosent's eyes gradually dissipated. He smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Well, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Ruan Liuzheng said, "Yes."
...
Fu Yanci returned to Fu's with a sullen expression. He pushed open the office door with a gloomy face, his dark eyes cold and devoid of any warmth.
Jiang Ze followed behind him, and seeing Fu Yanci's unusually gloomy expression, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Mr. Fu, everything has been done as you requested."
"If nothing unexpected happened, it should have spread online by now. Madam's online reputation has been severely damaged. What do you think, should we call it quits?"
Fu Yanci's eyes darkened at this. He raised his eyelids and looked intently at Jiang Ze, a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
"Jiang Ze! Who is your boss between me and Ruan Liuzheng? You're just pleading for her like this? Then what Huanqing and I have suffered these days is nothing!"
Fu Yanci sneered twice, and his handsome face became even colder, with a deep displeasure all over his body.
Jiang Ze's whole body froze.
He lowered his head slightly apologetically, feeling deeply that he had spoken out of turn, but he really felt from the bottom of his heart that President Fu's move was really a bit too much.
All of Ruan Liuzheng's actions were just to make President Fu agree to a divorce, and President Fu obviously didn't like Ruan Liuzheng, so why did President Fu still drag Ruan Liuzheng and refuse to divorce?
Jiang Ze saw all of Ruan Liuzheng's past efforts for President Fu, and now looking at President Fu's appearance, he really felt that Ruan Liuzheng was not worth it.
If Ruan Liuzheng had sacrificed for any other man except President Fu, he thought, the result would be much better than it is now.
Jiang Ze frowned, sighed imperceptibly, and said, "Mr. Fu, I will immediately notify the public relations department and ask them to stop taking any measures."
Fu Yanci narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corner of his lips, and a sinister glint flashed across his dark eyes.
He opened his mouth and said, "Not only should they stop taking any measures, but they should also be asked to add fuel to the fire when necessary. It would be best if the heat on Huanqing and me is transferred to Ruan Liuzheng."
Isn't Ruan Liuzheng very strong-willed? Doesn't she look down on the Fu Group?
Then he would let Ruan Liuzheng see how he used the Fu Group to crush her. By then, it would be too late for her to regret.
Ruan Liuzheng would come back and beg for his forgiveness sooner or later.
As for the document in Ruan Liuzheng's hand, Fu Yanci didn't believe that Ruan Liuzheng would really take it to the tax bureau to report him. After all, he was still Fu Jingcheng's father in name.
No one wants their child's future resume to have a father with a criminal record.
Fu Yanci raised a slight arc at the corner of his lips, and his cold eyes were filled with deep determination.
He was still so arrogant and conceited.
