Chapter 51 Mrs. Huo will only be Jiang Ruan

Thinking about all this, Su Anran suddenly felt an urgent need for a formal title: "Zhizhou".

"Go ahead and say it," Huo Zhizhou said, looking at her.

"Will you marry me after you divorce Ruan Ruan?" Su Anran's heart was pounding when she asked this question. It wasn't nervousness, but unease and fear of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear.

A hint of seriousness appeared in Huo Zhizhou's handsome eyes.

I clearly didn't expect her to ask that.

"I know it's a bit abrupt to ask this." Su Anran spoke up before he could answer, not wanting an awkward silence. "But I just want to know first, so I can be mentally prepared in advance."

"The answer was given to you from the beginning," Huo Zhizhou said directly. "The result will not change because of the process."

Su Anran forced a smile: "I see."

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

"Then will you marry someone else?" Su Anran asked tentatively.

Huo Zhizhou's unfathomable gaze fell upon her.

He knew what she was thinking and why she asked those questions, but that didn't mean he would give her the answers she wanted.

Su Anran waited for a long time but didn't get an answer, and knew in her heart that he wouldn't marry her.

"I'm just worried that if you marry someone else, they won't be able to accept my presence." Not wanting to put herself in an awkward position, she quickly came up with a reasonable excuse: "There will inevitably be trouble then."

Huo Zhizhou gave her the answer: "Mrs. Huo will only be Jiang Ruan."

Whether she wants it or not.

Only her name will appear in the spouse section.

"That's good." Su Anran felt a pang in her heart, but she still had to pretend that she wasn't sad at all.

"If you regret your previous decision, you can choose again." Huo Zhizhou wasn't unaware of her emotional change, but he had made some things very clear from the beginning: if he couldn't give it, he couldn't. "I respect your decision."

“No need,” Su Anran quickly retorted. “This is fine.”

Huo Zhizhou reached out and helped her adjust her shawl. After they stayed together for a while, Huo Zhizhou comforted her and left, citing company business.

...

When Jiang Ruan arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon. She first went to the ward to see Jiang An and talked to her for a long time. Worried about her condition, she also talked to the doctor.

Fortunately, all indicators are normal.

After lunch.

Dr. Zhou went to the ward and saw that Jiang Ruan was still there, so he went to talk to her: "Don't worry, your mother's condition is very stable. She will wake up within two weeks if things go well, and within two months if things go slowly. You can go about your business without worry."

"I'm fine for now." Jiang Ruan still wanted to spend more time talking to her.

If a miracle happens and she wakes up early, then she will have a pillar of support.

Dr. Zhou didn't try to persuade her much, but simply told her that he would take care of everything and that she should just focus on her work.

Jiang Ruan readily agreed.

Wednesday arrived quickly.

Jiang Ruan went to the final interview with Yuan Yi Games Company as agreed.

Although Huo Zhizhou has always been a man of his word, and he would never interfere with her final meeting if he promised not to, she was still worried that he might do something underhanded.

She was led to the manager's office by the interviewer.

The manager was a man in his thirties, with a respectable appearance, wearing only a light-colored shirt. He greeted her warmly when he saw her: "Jiang Ruan?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

"The HR director told me about your situation, and there are no problems." The manager held her resume in his hand and spoke very frankly. "There's just one issue on my end, and I don't know if you can accept it."

Jiang Ruan felt half relieved and became very polite to the person, saying, "Please go ahead."

“During the interview, they should have told you that you would be working on a very important new project.” The manager looked at her and explained the situation clearly. “You will need to sign a confidentiality agreement when you sign the employment contract.”

“I know.” Jiang Ruan was not surprised by this.

Although she hadn't worked much, she had a basic understanding of these things.

The manager took a confidentiality agreement from the side and handed it to her: "Take a look at this. If you can accept it, come over tomorrow to complete the onboarding process. If not, then our relationship ends here for now."

Jiang Ruan took it and looked at it.

Once hired, employees cannot resign without a valid reason; those who breach the contract will be required to pay a penalty of ten million yuan.

Such clauses are quite common in some jobs. Not to mention ten million, some even go as far as one hundred million, just to prevent someone from deliberately coming to the company to steal the core parts of confidential projects.

"How is it?" the manager asked, seeing that she had looked around enough.

"Can I go back and think about it?" Jiang Ruan was terrified of being tricked by Huo Zhizhou. Even though Ye Yanzhi had told her that this had nothing to do with Huo Zhizhou, she still wanted to find out more before starting the job. "I'll give you an answer before 8 p.m. tonight."

"Of course, it's a two-way selection process." The manager was quite straightforward. "Just let me know when you've made up your mind."

Jiang Ruan said okay and returned the confidentiality agreement to him.

As soon as she left the company, she called Ye Yanzhi and asked him to meet her. Since Huo Zhizhou had said he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her anymore, she was free to do whatever she wanted. Besides, she was only asking Ye Yanzhi to understand some basic information, and it wasn't about any conflict of interest.

The two met at a coffee shop.

Jiang Ruan explained the situation to him, and a hint of emotion flashed across Ye Yanzhi's brows: "Ten million in breach of contract fees?"

"Mm." Jiang Ruan nodded.

"Isn't it a bit outrageously high?" Ye Yanzhi's company also has liquidated damages. Only extremely important and highly confidential matters incur such high liquidated damages, and they only apply to senior management, not new employees.

This looks a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

"I just felt it was a bit high, so I came to you to double-check the situation," Jiang Ruan said truthfully.

"Wait a minute." Ye Yanzhi took out his phone and made a call. "I'll ask the others if it's the same for you."

Jiang Ruan nodded.

Half an hour later.

Ye Yanzhi's phone call yielded a result.

"He said that the confidentiality agreement for ordinary projects ranges from several hundred thousand to one million, and the other party will only be required to pay compensation if there is a leak." Ye Yanzhi told Jiang Ruan the result. "For major projects, it is indeed as you said. They set up the resignation threshold to prevent someone from accidentally revealing it, but the boss will make it clear to people in advance."

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment: "Who are you asking about?"

Ye Yanzhi: "Yuan Yi Technology's legal department."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan was a little surprised: "He just told you that?"

"My friend has a good relationship with the legal department of Yuanyi Company." Ye Yanzhi only found out later, "He went to ask."

"As long as I'm not the only one with this kind of agreement, it's fine." Jiang Ruan felt relieved. The thought of soon having a job filled her with energy. "Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner when I get my salary."

Ye Yanzhi considered it for a moment: "Why don't you come work for my company?"

As long as they're outside, Huo Zhizhou can always find a way to do something if he really wants to, but he can still protect him here.

Jiang Ruan refused.

She knew Ye Yanzhi meant well.

But if Huo Zhizhou wants to mess with her, he can interfere even if she goes to Huo Sinian's company, let alone Ye Yanzhi's.
