Chapter 249 Everyone's Busy

"Hmm." Jiang Ruan's expression was indifferent. "I hope you keep your word. See you in a month."

Without pausing for a moment after speaking, she walked towards Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu, who were waiting for her.

Huo Zhizhou watched her chatting and laughing with them, and watched her get into their car without turning her head. He remained standing there motionless until the car disappeared from sight.

"BOSS." Assistant Jiang hesitated before speaking.

Huo Zhizhou remained calm and said, "Speak."

Assistant Jiang pursed his lips and boldly suggested, "If you can't bear to part with Miss Jiang, then have a proper talk with her. Although President Gu's words that day were a bit extreme, some of them were not wrong."

Huo Zhizhou: "There's no need."

He will keep all his promises.

We will use facts to refute Huo Cheng and let them know that promises are things that must be kept at all costs.

"Can you really accept Ms. Jiang's departure?" Assistant Jiang asked. "According to your agreement, after the divorce, you should never let her see you again in this lifetime."

Huo Zhizhou didn't say a word and left.

The next month passed quickly.

Huo Zhizhou focused on recovering from his injury, using all his conscious time to handle various important and trivial matters at the company. He didn't allow himself a single moment to think about Jiang Ruan and the divorce.

As for ginger.

Her situation is similar to Huo Zhizhou's.

She absorbed the skills of managing the company day and night, and did her best to understand the Qin family and other family members in Haicheng.

Aside from spending some time with Sui Sui every day, I dedicate all my other time to studying and memorizing information, sometimes even looking at information on my phone while eating.

Ye Yanzhi came to see her that day.

Seeing her finish her meal in five minutes and go upstairs, a hint of worry flashed across his face: "Aunt Jiang, has Xiao Jiang been like this lately?"

Jiang An nodded: "Mm."

"Aren't you going to try to persuade her?" Ye Yanzhi noticed that she had lost weight compared to half a month ago.

“This state makes her feel better.” Jiang An respects everything about her child, including using other things to numb herself after being hurt in a relationship. “She said she was afraid she would overthink things if she had free time.”

"I'll go see her." Ye Yanzhi was worried about her and didn't have much of an appetite.

When he went to the study, Jiang Ruan had just finished learning about the information, experiences, and cooperative relationships of most people in Haicheng. She planned to continue learning about company management and investment so that she could be prepared in case the Qin family made things difficult for her.

"Knock knock".

"Little Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Ruan looked up and was somewhat surprised to see him: "You've already eaten?"

"I've already eaten." Ye Yanzhi walked in and stood next to her, pretending not to know anything, and asked, "What are you busy with? I noticed you didn't eat much before coming up."

“You’ve come at the right time.” Jiang Ruan turned her chair towards him. “I have something I’d like to ask you.”

Ye Yanzhi glanced at her.

consult?

That's too formal.

"Speak, and I will tell you everything I know."

"How did you manage to smile and discuss collaborations with people you didn't like when you were in college?" This question had troubled Jiang Ruan for a long time.

Ye Yanzhi was not as mature during his university years as he is now.

When dealing with people you don't like, you either argue with them or use sarcastic remarks.

But after he officially started his business, he toned it down, and he could even talk to people with a smile on his face, even those he had complained about.

She tried it with Su Zhu, but she failed after not lasting a second, and Su Zhu couldn't endure it even after a minute.

Ye Yanzhi: "To realize what I want in my heart."

Jiang Ruan pondered.

What's on my mind.

"Don't tell me you're going to talk to someone you hate with a smile on your face." Ye Yan looked at her with suspicion.

“I’ve thought about this carefully over the past few days, and with my personality, even if I get the shares, the road ahead won’t be easy.” Jiang Ruan is learning and improving. “I need to learn how to integrate into this circle.”

Ye Yanzhi's gaze fell on her.

I could tell she wasn't joking.

They really do have this plan.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"You're fine the way you are now." Ye Yanzhi was serious when he said this. "You don't follow the crowd and you can distinguish right from wrong."

Jiang Ruan used to think that this was good, being her most authentic self.

But the more I learn during this time, the more I realize that the outside world is not just about liking or disliking.

Being two-faced, hypocritical, and treacherous is the norm.

Someone like her would only be considered stupid.

Moreover, excessive rigidity leads to breakage.

"I'll help you with anything. Just be yourself," Ye Yanzhi said. He didn't want to see her do things she didn't like.

“I have to grow up eventually.” Jiang Ruan said seriously, “I can’t stay under someone’s wings forever, like a fledgling that can’t fly to the blue sky.”

She also wants to be someone who can stand on her own.

For myself.

For Sui Sui and her mother.

For my friends.

"What were your feelings when you ate and drank with people you didn't like?" Jiang Ruan asked again.

"Are you serious?" Ye Yanzhi asked again.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

Ye Yanzhi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Jiang Ruan: "I hope you can tell me."

"It's actually very simple. Just put aside all emotions and look at the benefits." Ye Yanzhi still told her, "Some people are gossipy and like to say hurtful things. Just let it go in one ear and out the other."

Jiang Ruan silently made a note of it.

Ye Yanzhi was somewhat worried.

This industry is never short of newcomers like Xiao Jiangjiang. Even with Chairman Li and Old Master Qin backing her up, some people will still deliberately make things difficult for her because of Qin Muchuan's words.

He was genuinely afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Sometimes, even if she does her best, the other party may still be dissatisfied.

It's so easy to find fault with someone.

Ye Yanzhi hesitated, then said, "Little Jiang Jiang."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruan resumed her studies, which were all the essential parts that Jiang An had compiled for her.

“If anything happens during this time, I hope you will tell me immediately,” Ye Yanzhi said. “I know you don’t like to bother people, but you can treat me as another version of yourself, and you can contact me anytime.”

Jiang Ruan agreed: "Okay."

Ye Yanzhi: "It's a deal, no forcing yourself."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

After hearing these words, Ye Yanzhi felt a little relieved, but he was still somewhat worried. However, he knew that no one could stop Jiang Ruan from doing what she was determined to do, so he didn't say anything more.

After this.

Jiang Ruan, as always, devoted 100% of her energy to it.

She was like a wolf that had been starving for a long time, quickly absorbing her own spiritual nourishment.

During this time, both Old Master Qin and Chairman Li contacted her, but she refused them all, planning to wait until the divorce was completely settled before going to the Qin and Li families.

As for Huo Zhizhou...

Since the scab on his chest healed significantly, he goes to work at six o'clock every morning and doesn't go home to rest until one or two o'clock in the morning.

Jiang, the assistant, couldn't stand the high intensity of the work anymore: "Boss, you should try to maintain a regular schedule."

His boss had done all his work.

This month, he's no different from an idle person.

Huo Zhizhou didn't speak and continued processing the documents.

"People who frequently stay up late are prone to hair loss, and it can also lead to worsened skin and premature aging," Assistant Jiang said, pulling out his trump card. "You probably don't want Miss Jiang to see you looking ugly in a few days."
