Chapter 462 It will be very difficult for you to win the case.

Qin Mo replied casually, "You'll find out in a while which thing needs to be confirmed."

"She shouldn't be with our company, right?" The man avoided answering, staring straight at Jiang Ruan, ignoring Qin Mo's expression, and blurted out.

Qin Mo slightly raised his eyes.

The man immediately added, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just remember that there's a company rule that only senior executives at headquarters can access important company projects; otherwise, they will be dismissed or face criminal charges."

"Manager Zhang." Qin Mo lowered his voice, and the chill emanating from him instantly reached its peak.

Manager Zhang opened his mouth, "I was just saying, but she's handling an important project for our company. It's really not appropriate for an outsider to be looking at these things. What if the project is leaked? Who would you hold responsible?"

"This one?" Jiang Ruan closed the project.

Manager Zhang: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan pretended to think: "You just said that only senior executives at the company headquarters can access this?"

“That’s right.” Manager Zhang glanced at Qin Mo, but still forced a smile and said.

“A project goes through countless people from start to finish,” Jiang Ruan countered. “Is everyone one of them a high-level executive at the company headquarters?”

“Of course not,” Manager Zhang said, enunciating each word clearly, his gaze towards Jiang Ruan carrying a hint of disdain. “But only senior management at headquarters can view the complete project proposal; branch offices and other personnel only execute projects according to the instructions of their superiors.”

Jiang Ruan: "I see."

Seeing that Qin Mo didn't speak, Manager Zhang became bolder and said, "Yes."

Jiang Ruan didn't speak again.

She continued to flip through the project proposal in her hand.

Manager Zhang frowned. He hadn't expected Jiang Ruan to still be reading even after he had spoken so bluntly. Hadn't President Qin's father said that Jiang Ruan was a very proud and self-respecting person?

Why is there no reaction now?

"Manager Zhang, are you looking at me like that because your conversation with Qin Mo isn't appropriate for me to be present?" Jiang Ruan noticed his gaze.

Manager Zhang: "..."

Manager Zhang stared at the project proposal in her hand.

Jiang Ruan raised the project proposal slightly: "Do you still want this one?"

“I think I made myself very clear just now.” Manager Zhang was going to be straightforward; he had to complete his task for the day. “You’re not one of our company’s employees, much less a senior executive. You’re not qualified to look at this project proposal.”

"Qin Mo gave it to me," Jiang Ruan said casually.

Manager Zhang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Before he could speak, Jiang Ruan said, "If you want to hold him accountable, go find him."

"That's just sophistry." Manager Zhang hadn't expected the process to be completely different from what he had imagined.

“Feel free to file a lawsuit if you have any objections.” Jiang Ruan closed the project proposal temporarily, her clear eyes exuding a certain aura. “But according to the Qin Group’s existing rules and regulations, it will be very difficult for you to win a lawsuit.”

Manager Zhang opened his mouth.

I went through the Qin Group's key systems in my mind, and indeed, there weren't any...

The business plan in Jiang Ruan's hand was given to her by President Qin.

President Qin has absolute say in everything in the company.

From any perspective, Jiang Ruan's actions certainly do not constitute a crime.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Mo asked Manager Zhang, his tone cold and his eyes slightly icy.

Manager Zhang: "No..."

Qin Mo asked, "Didn't you have something to confirm with me?"

"I did have it, but I forgot while chatting with Ms. Jiang," Manager Zhang said, offering an excuse. "I'll come back to you when I remember. I have to go now."

He turned around immediately after saying that.

Before her hand even touched the doorknob, Jiang Ruan spoke first: "How did Manager Zhang know my surname is Jiang?"

Manager Zhang froze.

How did you let it slip?

“It’s a good thing to think about the company.” Jiang Ruan said, looking at his back, “Just like what you said before, no matter where you are in life, you must remember to stay true to your original aspirations.”

Manager Zhang turned around and looked at Jiang Ruan in disbelief.

What did she mean by that?

Did you know that you were setting up an outsourcing company to profit from the price difference as a middleman?

Or was it just a coincidence?

"Don't you think so?" Jiang Ruan asked him, "Manager Zhang."

Manager Zhang left without saying a word.

As the office door closed, silence returned. The two quiet people, who didn't like to talk, couldn't manage to utter a single casual remark for a long time.

It seemed as if they wanted to break the silence.

As Jiang Ruan picked up the project proposals again, Qin Mo looked at her with a probing gaze: "When did you find out he had a company outside?"

“A month ago,” Jiang Ruan said, then realized something, “You know?”

Qin Mo: "I know."

Jiang Ruan wanted to ask something, but then realized that she and Qin Mo weren't as close as she had imagined.

"We didn't deal with it until you got the shares," Qin Mo said calmly, still exuding that same icy aura. "At that time, there will definitely be people who are unhappy with you taking on the role of president. Manager Zhang is a candidate to make an example of you."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

To be honest.

She hadn't expected Qin Mo to have considered these things.

"Have you ever thought about staying in this position forever?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"I thought about it when we first met." Qin Mo said directly, his cold tone devoid of emotion. "But in the past six months, you've shown me your potential. Even without me, you can manage the Qin Group very well."

Jiang Ruan: "Back then, you asked me to give up my shares because you didn't want me to be targeted by your father and second uncle?"

Qin Mo: "Pretty much, I also want to reduce some trouble for myself."

Jiang Ruan flipped through the pages.

At that time, she was dissatisfied with Qin Mo's words.

Looking back now, he was on the side of reason from the very beginning.

"How are things between you and Lin Tan?" She changed the subject, not wanting to discuss it further.

Qin Mo paused.

The hand holding the pen tightened unconsciously.

Just when Jiang Ruan thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke up: "She refused."

Jiang Ruan: "Normal."

Qin Mo: "?"

A rare look of doubt appeared on Qin Mo's usually icy face: "Normal?"

“You haven’t seen each other or been in contact for so many years,” Jiang Ruan analyzed naturally. “It’s perfectly normal for her to reject you after you confessed on your first meeting. After all, objectively speaking, we have no idea what has happened to each of you in the past few years, or whether the other person’s personality is still the same as before.”

"Then why did you make me..." Qin Mo suddenly frowned.

Jiang Ruan: "You're supposed to confess?"

Qin Mo: "Mm."

Jiang Ruan: "Don't you like her?"

Qin Mo: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan: "No matter what she becomes or what her personality is, you will still like her."

Qin Mo answered firmly, "Yes."

"Isn't it normal to express your feelings to someone you like?" Jiang Ruan told him. "What you need to do is let her feel that no matter how much time has passed, no matter what she is like now, you still like her."

"I told her." Qin Mo was very single-minded when it came to matters of love between men and women.

“But in her eyes, you don’t understand her now, and you don’t know what she’s been through all these years,” Jiang Ruan said. “You have to show her with your actions that you like her now, not the her in your memory.”
